VIRTUALLY UNREPORTED ATROCITY IN LUGANSK, 2nd JUNE 2014
A lot has been said about atrocities in the western media claimed to have been perpetrated by the Russians, for example at Bucha and Mariupol among others. These assertions are conveyed on the say so of the Ukrainian authorities. How willing though are western news broadcasters to convey atrocities attributed to the Ukrainians? The following will I think provide the answer.
If anyone wonders if they are receiving accurate coverage of the conflict in Ukraine I would suggest watching the video below of an event which occurred on the 2nd of June 2014 and ask themselves if they recall hearing about it on any mainstream media news channel at the time.
The video is harrowing to watch. The bodies (five women and three men) are real. Yet across western media there was only one single news report that occurred a day later. This was from CNN and occurred only because a CNN team happened to be nearby at the time of the atrocity and so the network could hardly ignore it as all others so obviously did.
The video below shows the unvarnished truth that was not considered newsworthy in western mainstream news.
THE SINGLE WESTERN MSM REPORT ON THE LUGANSK ATROCITY, 3rd JUNE 2014
The video at the CNN link below is the crime scene sanitised by CNN, though played straight with honest reporting on the scene not playing things to Kiev’s tune.
(There was a time early in the war in the Donbass when CNN were not afraid to contradict the Ukrainian regime in Kiev.) Watch, because it's the first and last time you will see this.
5 women and 3 men died, all civilians.

Article published by Russia Today (RT) - 20th October 2023:
UN warns of Gaza genocide risk.
Human rights experts lambasted the international community for the failure to oppose Israel’s actions in Gaza.
Israel is engaged in a systematic campaign of crimes against humanity against Palestinians in Gaza, United Nations human rights experts warned in a statement published on Thursday, citing Tuesday’s deadly airstrikes that targeted a hospital and several refugee shelters as evidence Israeli officials were seeking to wipe out the entire Palestinian population.
“Considering statements made by Israeli political leaders and their allies, accompanied by military action in Gaza and escalation of arrests and killing in the West Bank, there is also a risk of genocide against the Palestine people,” the experts, who are members of the UN Human Rights Council’s independent Special Procedures body, explained.
Israel has violated international humanitarian and criminal law in cutting off drinking water, medicine, and food to Gaza, they continued, pointing out that the UN Security Council has repeatedly condemned the starvation of civilians as a method of warfare. Meanwhile, they said, the ongoing and calculated destruction of civilian homes and infrastructure constitutes “domicide.”
The group specifically referenced Tuesday’s airstrike on Al-Ahli Arab Hospital, which killed over 470 civilians and left hundreds more trapped under the rubble, as an “atrocity,” as well as a strike that same day on a school run by the UN’s Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA inside the al-Maghazi refugee camp that killed at least six people and injured dozens more. Israel was fully aware of the civilian nature of both facilities, having twice threatened the hospital with attack if those inside were not evacuated, and received the coordinates of the school from UNRWA daily.
The Israel Defense Forces have denied responsibility for the hospital strike, claiming to have proof it was the result of a failed rocket launch by Islamic Jihad.
Two other densely-populated refugee camps were also hit on Tuesday, even as the number of Palestinians internally displaced in Gaza has risen to around 1 million. The UN experts specifically called for humanitarian workers to be protected, quoting the World Health Organization’s claim that healthcare services in Gaza have been attacked over 136 times since Israel declared war on Hamas earlier this month and at least 16 health workers have been killed.
Denouncing the international community’s “appalling” failure to act or even speak out strongly against the most intense bombing campaign Israel has inflicted on Gaza in its history, which has compounded the devastation wrought by its 16-year blockade of the territory, the group demanded an immediate ceasefire, full access to food, water, fuel, electricity, medicine, and shelter, and “reparation, restitution, and reconstruction, towards full justice for Palestinians.”
Several members of the Special Procedures group issued similar warnings last week in the wake of Israel’s evacuation order to north Gaza, warning that the forced transfer of 1.1 million Palestinians across a live warzone with no electricity and almost no food or water in the space of 24 hours was an attempt at ethnic cleansing.
UN warns of Gaza genocide risk.

VICTORY BELONGS TO RUSSIA: IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
Each day that passes makes a conclusive Russian victory in the Donbass and beyond more certain. As Russia bolsters her forces, and weaponry, those of Ukraine decrease. Russian forces gain ready access to rest and recuperation as troop numbers increase. The increasingly exhausted and demoralised Ukrainian troops have an ever decreasing prospect of such respite. This situation is likely to bring them to complete breakdown as Russia unleashes the firepower of the more modern and advanced weaponry that is arriving with the newly mobilised Russian troops.
The various Ukrainian offensives are now weak when confronted by the reinforced Russian lines. A few futile efforts achieve quite miserable results before fire reigns down on the Ukrainian troops and they are forced back to their starting positions.
And now, all this being said, we have arrived at the wet, and later, freezing conditions where these pathetic Ukrainian forces will be subject to myriad forms of abject misery with death and injury all around them while they lie sodden or frozen, abandoned to their fate by Kiev.
The pitiable young and old of Ukraine have been frogmarched to their deaths as cannon-fodder while the bestial elites of the collective West urge their "president" to add more to their number there at the gates of Hell and their doom. We must feel for the majority of them as they are not the Nazis we revile, in most part they are decent men, fathers, sons, brothers, husband and uncles, who no doubt saw through the coup of 2014 for what it was. But sadly, their fate seems sealed.
Nothing will stop Russia now. Every factor favours them. Victory will be Russia's. In Donbass and beyond and in due course across the world.
Victory belongs to Russia: It is now only a matter of time.

THE WEST IS SPREADING ITS DICTATORSHIP, NOT DEMOCRACY
There is only one way, our way, only one set of rules, ours. You will obey or be destroyed. Continual punishment will be inflicted until you conform. These demands are reflected implicitly in every western mass media source. There is only one narrative possible, only one source to be adhered to, only one voice and one genesis of rightful thought and command. Ours.
We have seen these precepts applied to Ukraine and now we see them applied to the conflict in the Middle East between Israel and the Palestinians. Only one message, only one agenda, only certain narratives are allowed as valid. All else is suspect or to be condemned outright.
Where is even the slightest reflection of democratic principles to be found? Where is the diplomacy that seeks to bring sides together, to find a way to stop the bloodshed, build bridges and bring an overall lasting compromise into being? All absent. All relegated to complete absence, replaced continually by a completely partisan, thoroughly one-sided prejudice, a bias that precludes all hope of anything resembling peaceful stability.
Democracy, we are told, allows the voicing of diverse views seeking expression, voices that believe in their solution to current problems. A dictatorship simply states what MUST be accepted, enforces views held and punishes those who deign to express another. Democracy is meant to deliver the best solution through stakeholders arguing their case without prejudice or punishment in free expression. Where is the free expression of opinion to be found on Ukraine or Palestine in the western mainstream? Instead of this we have fixed narratives, opinions, assertions and political demands that take only one side and will hear of no alternative view. That is dictatorship, a dictatorship that bears no resemblance whatsoever to democracy.
The political leadership of the western world and its mouthpiece, western mass media seeks to limit all thought and activity to its own demands. These demands are not to be questioned, only obeyed due to the assertion that they are unquestionably correct and will be enforced in each case by extreme violence if necessary. The fixed nature of the group thought mentality of western political elites grows ever more obvious by the day. No diplomacy is possible when all that is heard are a series of lectures about the complete rightness of one side and the complete wrongness of the other. Name calling bears no relation whatsoever to diplomacy, it corrodes it and destroys any possible foundation for it.
When you name others as your enemy this excludes you from any form of meaningful communication with them that could lead to a lessening of the vitriol and enmity between you, it heightens these. This approach is the approach of ever more heightened levels of war with all that brings, increased death, destruction and hatred between the two warring entities. Simply lauding your side as all good and castigating the other as all bad brings nothing but more of the same pestilence that diplomacy (and we are told democracy) seeks to assuage. Nothing the political elites of the West are doing now on either Ukraine nor Israel/Palestine can bring lasting peace, only ever more devastating war.
The dictatorship over others that the western powers seek will, if successful, ultimately lead to a prison planet where they are the ever-observant warders, always seeking enemies to eliminate and always demanding continual obedience to their commands. There will be no semblance to anything related to true democracy, no free speech, no right to assembly, only a strict administering of certain rules designed to limit freedoms and ensure conformity to the rules these elites insist MUST be obeyed. This and all of the above describe what we are facing as a species if the West wins its war to maintain and increase its power over us. That power will be increased to a level where no one can ever feel safe again, presided over by a dictatorship that will STILL, even then, proclaim itself to be democratic.
