Most of the western world is driving itself mad due to the lies it constantly tells itself about both Ukraine and Russia.

A movement toward empty-headedness and gullibility within western nations and away from the use of the intellect, logic and effort to investigate issues in depth has contributed heavily to the deeply irrational herd mentality now being exhibited.

Western elites are shepherding this vast mass of rabid sheep into a horrendous battering ram effect driven on by lies inspiring a hysterical hatred of Russia and Russians. The mass irrational is with us once again.

Hitler was the master of such techniques, filling the heads of average Germans with fear, hatred and loathing until they were capable of any atrocity imaginable. Now, once again, we find modern-day Nazis within a contemporary mix of Pavolvian elite control mechanisms designed to further another elite agenda.

The full picture regarding western Ukraine and its love affair with Nazism cannot be spoken. This would spoil that picture which is needed to serve up to a western population with their mental tongues hanging out and brains wide open ready to receive whatever conditioning is offered. No mention of the true reasons why Putin and Russia have done what they have must be heard, all must be unwarranted, unprovoked and totally evil in both in intent and deed.

Western elites act like second-hand car dealers, or door-to-door insurance salesmen, espousing only the great merits of their “product” and the obvious demerits of those of their main competitor. All is fair in love and war they say and western elites have been at war with Putin since his Munich speech of 2007 when he stated baldly that Russia would not accept and saw no merit in the dictatorship of a unipolar world run by North America and its allies.

This is another truth, besides all that is hidden concerning Ukraine’s new Nazis, that western publics are required to remain ignorant of. Those who have read George Orwell’s novel ‘1984’ will know this scenario very well, Orwell described the mentalities involved excruciatingly well.

The elites of the western world went into war mode against Putin in 2007 and every effort since, every scurrilous magazine cover depicting Putin as Hitler, as a dictator/tsar/murderer/grievous threat since has been part of a united effort to get him overthrown. I say ‘elites’ of the western world rather than the ‘political elites’ of the western world as this has been a combined effort by both state and media within the West to “Get Putin!”. All western elites, their power, status, interests and influence were and are threatened by an independent Russia unwilling to kowtow to an ultra-dominant USA and western world. They all had much to lose from the rise of a combined Russia and China creating an economic superpower in Eurasia eclipsing their long-held position of dominance.

Left unsaid also is the ultimate outcome of western victory over Russia, then China. Not a world of peace, freedom and democracy as inferred in the use of terms such as ‘The Free World’, not at all. Do you really think the USA will trust the rest of the world ever again after experiencing the events of 9/11? What do you think about the NSA, the CIA and the satellites above us, will they all cease to exist? I think not. If the elites of the USA have their way we will all be monitored like never before. At first they are likely to say it is necessary due to hangover threats from the downfall of the Russian and Chinese states and those other replaced systems of governance in Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Yemen and elsewhere… and that vigilance is called for ‘meanwhile’ to ensure our safety. Then somehow it becomes “necessary” to leave these surveillance systems in place and further enhance them with additional software addons that can deliver ever more accurate and detailed information. Inexorably a prison planet emerges where the eyes drift often and in fear to the skies.

Returning to the present day and Ukraine, I would urge anyone reading this who wonders if any of it is true to find more diverse sources not of the western mainstream on how this tragic circumstance we now find ourselves in evolved. To seek such material in the mainstream is utterly futile. While in war mode nothing that speaks of the merits or justice in actions of ‘the other side’ can be spoken, published or shown. The political forces and the media power of the western world is totally united now, unlike in previous times such as during the Vietnam War when some distance was maintained and criticisms of western foreign policy could be read and heard within the press and media mainstream.

Putin and Russia are NOT acting in unpremeditated murderous fashion. There are sound reasons for their actions in the present time, reasons you will not hear or become aware of if you only access western mass media and listen only to western politicians. Such material needs to be sought on the one way we now have to access material elites have little to no control over (though this is becoming ever less the case) the internet. Seek the words of such as Max Blumenthal, Benjamin Norton, Aaron Mate, John Pilger, Chris Hedges and George Galloway for an introduction to the truths you are denied. Then dig ever deeper into the true historical timeline of western and eastern Ukraine, access material on Wikipedia concerning the forming of Ukrainian Nazi battalions in World War Two, examine the long and brutal history of Ukrainian nationalism and hatred of Russia. View videos of the heartless, shameful and criminal shelling of the eastern republics of Donetsk and Lugansk during the years 2014 and 2015 especially.

After doing your due diligence as a thinking, caring and just human being you can THEN sit in judgement of what is now occurring in Ukraine… and ONLY then. You will have emerged from the milieu of hysteria and judgement without cause or evidence missing the whole statement from the defense. This I would wish you and urge you as we stand on the edge of a world war brought about by western elites who could not tolerate the possibility of losing their patrician control over the world and all the benefits that had always brought them, that created their mythology of greatness and goodness, that provided the status, power and influence they feel their livehttps://vk.com/rconnects?w=wall587799873_19871/alls are almost worthless without.

WHAT IS PUTIN DOING & WHY? WHAT IS THE TRUE STORY OF RUSSIA & UKRAINE?

We are now living in George Orwell’s nightmare dystopian world of ‘1984’. Truth is an extremely endangered beast currently, almost extinct in fact. And this in what is called by some ‘The Free World’ where historic paens of fulsome praise by its elites wished always to assure us that ‘honest injuns’ told us all the facts that fit, the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

How long gone are the days when this was even remotely true. Successive regime change wars and the justifications that were carved from empty air have disabused the alert among us of the idea that good people with sound hearts and massive integrity strove to get us the ‘right stuff’, the true picture, or as near as they could get to it. Was it the Vietnam War that saw the beginning of the end of all that? After all, who could blame the top brass for feeling the press corp forced their hand and got them marching home?

It was in the next war when cynicism had overcome conscience that those who were to be come only so-called journalists were embedded with their military brethren and given cozy and convenient “briefings” each evening and supplied with the means to transfer not ‘the right stuff’ but ‘the required narrative’ to the waiting millions back home. The rot set in then methinks. And that rot and the rotted carcass of so-called journalism has been with us ever since.

9/11 rang the death knell of any objective approach to reporting geopolitical events and circumstances. It was no longer considered good form to criticise western foreign policy as it strove to erase all the possible threats out there that could lead to a recurrence. It simply ‘wasn’t cricket’ as they say in the UK. Not the done thing. The done thing now was to support western elites in all they did and said. Your career and very livelihood depended upon it. Were you going to be the Serpico, the one who rocked the boat and told it ‘like it is’ rather than ‘tell it as it is expected’?

A whole raft of media elites required of themselves that they put self-preservation first. Of course a great many also were filled with a passionate hatred of those who had done such a heinous deed on 9/11. Together they sought to give fulsome support to whatever their political elites thought best and woe betide anyone who stepped out of line and committed the grave sin of saying the least positive thing about any of those chosen now as enemies.

So the regime change wars came and went. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, the latter two of course continuing still to today. Criticism remained muted and hardly seen within mainstream press or media at all. Syria was reduced to a shell of its former self through arguably the most reprehensible tactic ever used in wartime, a louder harmonic of a previous exercise in Seventies Afghanistan, proxy fighters. In Syria they were much less acceptable that in the Seventies however, in fact they were downright evil in most cases.

Was the world minded to sanction America and its coalition of the willing? Was there an enormous uproar where American products were banned across the world and Americans in general seen as hate-objects. Was there a move to take America to the International Criminal Court, a reflection of disgust and dismay at the reprehensible slaughtering of a hundred thousand and more at the United Nations and in every decent human heart everywhere? There was not. The world simply went on its way. Nothing to see here.

But now, now that Russia has reacted after years of remaining dormant in the face of inexorable pressure, slanderous and constant attacks on its president and constant western world disdain, where a NATO looking for a continued reason to exit approaches her borders… deigns eventually to take action to ensure her future security… all hell breaks loose. If you are looking for geopolitical double-standards and hypocrisy you will have to go a long way to find a better case.

All about Ukraine of course. But not the real Ukraine. The Ukraine filtered down through the ‘war mode’ filter spoken of earlier and through the ranks of those dedicated since 9/11 to always and only support their western state leaders and their narratives of choice and convenience.

What did the real Ukraine look like? A nation of two halves. One looking west, the other east. One toward the European Union, one toward Russia and the Eurasian Union. On one side largely the Ukrainian language is spoken, on the other Russian. One side generally votes for these political parties, this other for completely different ones. Ukraine is truly two countries in one.

In 2014 a violent minority of the western half didn’t like what the president elected by the eastern half was doing. He was having a hard time deciding what to do. The EU was offering some financial help. Russia also, substantially more. He swithered between the two offers. Russia said why don’t both of us help you? The EU said no, Ukraine and its president would have to choose. But the president continued to have a hard time seeing which course of action was best for Ukraine.

It was at this point that all hell broke loose with Molotov cocktails thrown at police, they were beaten with clubs, shot at with hunting rifles and hand guns, blinded with toxic sprays and bruised and battered by any means that came to hand. Seventeen young policemen died. Perhaps you would care to imagine the reaction in the United States if even one policeman died in such circumstances. Yet the then president continued to seek dialogue, refusing the request of the security high command that the police be better armed and that the square where the insurrection was taking place be cleared.

The end result was that a democratically-elected president and government fell. The thousand of so election monitors had approved both election as passing the democratic tests they applied to them. But go they did and a new government was formed, much along the lines that two American officials recommended in a leaked telephone conversation of that time. Thus began the descent into misery, tragedy and economic and political disaster that has personified life in Ukraine from that time onward.

If the dismal factors above were not enough they were exacerbated by the mentality left over and passed down since the Second World War that informed some of the most sadistic people who have ever lived on this planet. To them Hitler was good for Ukraine, for Ukrainian nationalism in particular. They indulged in the Hitler salute and only slightly converted Nazi symbols for their own use. They did military trained in the woods as they had done training in the U.S. embassy for their street protests/riots. The hate they felt for those in that other half of Ukraine close to the Russian border they called ‘Moskals’, essentially meaning, ‘Russians.

A favorite chant of these people was and remains, “Russians On Knives!” and torch lit parades of tens of thousands marched Nazi-style through the streets of the most nationalist city in west Ukraine, Lviv. They didn’t hide themselves, or their hatred for the Ukrainians of the east who they reviled as Russians. It was something they were proud of. Their grandfathers and fathers had educated them in this. They had joined special Nazi battalions solely made up of Ukrainians of the western half. They went gladly to burn Russian peasants in their beds across in Russian, Rostov-on-Don.

It is said the Nazis were scared of these Ukrainian battalions due to their extreme hatred of Russia and Russians and I think you will agree, it really says something that those sadistic criminals as the Nazis could find others more scary than themselves.

Are you beginning to see the real Ukraine now? Are the glowing visions of innocence fading just a little? The hard-done-by, wide-eyed innocents who only want their freedom attacked and oppressed by evil Russians? Are you beginning to understand how you are being hoodwinked daily for agendas that are far from innocent and pure?

Russia was told it could have no security. She was told that despite the death of 27 million Russians in the fight to liberate the world from Nazism that due to the scourge of the Soviet Union it could never be forgiven and must be tormented to the end of time by the West and its prodding spearhead NATO, coming ever closer and ultimately to its very doorstep through neo-Nazi-infested Ukraine?

Is the reality emerging past the cover story you’ve been told? Are you beginning to realise just how comprehensively and cynically those who have been in war mode since 9/11 have tried (mostly successfully) to dupe you? Are you possibly even beginning to realise that the this overwhelming hatred toward Russia and wish to damage her in every which way is thoroughly unjust? Perhaps you aren’t quite there yet, I know.

You are daily primed to exhibit disgust and anger toward Russia. Russia you are told is doing a totally evil thing, an unprovoked thing, something heinous beyond words meriting punishments beyond anything previously seen. Putin in this narrative is an absolute monster, possibly worse than Hitler, a murderer, a poisoner, a thief and a despot… the evil dictator of Russia out to destroy western democracy and rule the world.

None of this is true. Yes, that’s what I wrote. NONE OF IT. I am not saying however that he is a perfect saint and infallible. No human being alive now is as far as I know. He said as much in his first speech on being elected president of Russia in 2000. He said he was only human and that he would make mistakes… but he gave a solemn promises to the Russian people, that he would ALWAYS do what he considered best for them and his beloved nation.

And that is precisely what he is doing now.

A WEEK OF WAR — UPDATE FROM OPERATION Z FRONT LINES

The liberation and de-nazification of Ukraine continues apace. The resistance is strong, and the Russian and Republican Liberators face a desperate and ruthless enemy. The ukrop nazis' most effective tactic is the use of civilians as human shields in built up urban areas. Russia's extreme precautions and deliberate pace to avoid the kind of bloody «collateral damage» that is the trademark of every US and NATO invasion, has cost the Russians quite a lot in time, treasure and blood. But the advance continues, and will continue until all Russian strategic objectives are achieved.

As of 3 March official military reports for the entire Russia/Ukraine operation are as follows — Ukrainian soldiers killed and missing — 8395

Russian & Republican soldiers — 498 dead, 1,600 wounded

Civilian casualties throughout the area of military operations exceed 300

1,612 targets were hit by Russian artillery and precision missiles including 62 command and control centers and communication centers,

39 S-300, Buk M-1 and Osa anti-aircraft missile systems as well as 52 radar stations.

49 military aircraft were destroyed on the ground and 13 in flight,

606 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles were destroyed,

67 Multiple Rocket Launchers destroyed,

227 howitzers and mortars,

53 drones.

The fake news report about Russians shelling a Ukrainian nuclear site is completely false.

On Thursday night, a fire broke out at a building near the six-reactor Zaporozhskaya nuclear power plant, with Ukrainian authorities accusing Russian troops of “shelling” the nuclear site. Moscow had informed the international nuclear authorities on Tuesday that Russian forces had secured the territory around the plant and it was operating normally.

The Russians had already taken the plant under their control, when a Ukrainian sabotage unit fired on a Russian perimeter patrol with small arms. During the attack, a fire started in an office/storage building on the plant grounds but not connected to the actual reactor. The fire was extinguished and the Ukrainian sabotage unit was eliminated. There is currently no danger of radiation leakage or explosion at the plant.

The fake news report about Russian forces shelling the Jewish Holocaust Memorial at Babi Yar near Kiev are also completely false. A Russian missile strike was carried out on a main Kiev TV broadcast antenna located about 500 meters from the memorial. The TV antenna was destroyed, the memorial was not hit.

The strategic city of Khersan has been liberated by Russian forces. Though sporadic fighting continues in the city, it has been liberated and will remain so. The three main areas of active combat operations are currently Kiev, Kharkov and Mariupol.

Kiev is blocked by Russian troops on the north and west, and Russian troops are actually operating inside the north and west parts of the city. Russian troops continue their advance on Kiev from the east, and will soon begin encircling the city in a southern direction, in conjunction with Russian troops to the west. Strategic missile strikes continue to target Ukrainian command centers, troop and equipment concentrations. The Human Shield tactic is being used in Kiev, but to a lesser extent than elsewhere.

The completely unregulated handing out over 18,000 AK assault rifles and ammunition on the street to anyone who walked up and wanted one has resulted in scores, if not hundreds, of murders, accidental and indiscriminate shootings in Kiev in the last few days. This criminally insane act on the part of the Kiev regime was done intentionally to cause chaos and anarchy among the civilians and to make the job of Russian liberators more dangerous and difficult.

Kharkov, Ukraine's second largest city, has a significant percentage of Russian speakers in the population, but also a strong concentration of regular and nationalist troops who will use ethnic Russians as human shields. Russian troops are advancing on Kharkov from the north, northeast and northwest. They are operating in northern suburbs of the city, but the urban operations have met heavy resistance and difficult terrain. Russian casualties there have been significant.

On the east and west outskirts of Kharkov, Russian units continue to move south to complete the encirclement, which should be complete in the next 48 hours or so. Once the city is surrounded, some Russian troops will be freed to advance towards Poltava to the southwest and Kramatorsk to the southeast. Once Kramatorsk and Zaparozhia are liberated, Russian troops will link up and the bulk of the Ukrainian military on the Donbass Front will be surrounded.

Mariupol remains a heavily contested area. It has been surrounded by Russian and Republican troops, including my comrades in the VOSTOK Battalion. Mariupol, an industrial city on the coast of the AZOV Sea, has been the headquarters and main base of the nazi AZOV Battalion for many years. Other neo-nazi units as well as ISIS units are stationed there as well. These war criminals will fight to the death, because they know the justice that awaits them if they are captured will be harsh and last for the rest of their lives. These are terrorists and murderers who enjoy killing, and will make the most of innocent civilians as last minute victims and human shields. There are multiple videos of cars full of civilians, men, women and children, being murdered by nazis and other terrorists as they try to leave the city. However, as of today, March 4th, some civilians have successfully evacuated via humanitarian corridors.

It has now been officially confirmed by the spokesman of the Donetsk People's Republic's Army, Eduard Basurin, that last night the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a Tochka-U attack on the AZOV headquarters in southwestern Mariupol. According to his information, the reason for the strike was between Azov's complete refusal to obey AFU command orders to coordinate their actions with the command of the Ukrainian forces. As a result of the strike, more than 20 fighters and 10 units of equipment were destroyed. There are some unconfirmed reports of AZOV terrorists murdering a Ukrainian Army General shortly prior to the missile strike.

I spent Feb 28th and March 1st on the Front lines deep into territory formerly controlled by ukrop army. Traveling with Russian war correspondent Alexander Sladkov, we made it as far as the village of Andon, almost 50 Km beyond the former front lines. Fighting is heavy, we saw many blown up ukrop block posts, and armored vehicles from both sides, but mostly ukrop. It was like something out of a World War 2 newsreel, with shell shocked civilians gathered in town squares, wary of us as we approached, then breaking into tears of joy when they understood who we were. Ukrops are randomly bombing the areas they retreat from as they retreat, apparently equally as willing to hit newly liberated civilians as they are to hit the Russian liberators.

The Russian liberation forces are huge — multi-hundreds of tanks and armored infantry vehicles, very tough and ready soldiers, led by highly competent officers. The DPR Republican forces are still holding the line along the central Donetsk Front — Donetsk, Makeevka, Yasynuvata, Gorlovka. There are still extremely large and dangerous concentrations of ukrop soldiers on the Front, and while they have been mostly quiet and have not advanced, they are still shelling civilian areas of all our cities daily. One of the major ukrop strongpoints is the Mari'inka area, barely 5 miles from my house in Petrovsky District of Donetsk. There is also a high concentration of nazis and war criminals there, and it will not be taken without a hard fight. Nothing in this war will come easy.

CONCLUSION — In the first week of February, I wrote an article predicting with 90% certainty that before the beginning of March, the Ukraine Army would attack Donbass, and Russia would be forced to react immediately to prevent genocide against the civilians and defenders of the Donbass Republics. With the single exception of Scott Ritter, virtually every other self-styled «expert» and «geopolitical analyst» on the subject of the Donbass War, in both the mainstream and «alt» media not only disagreed, but scoffed at my predictions and even at me personally. And just as in the lead up to the Iraq invasion, these «experts» simply ignored Scott Ritter.

Well, nobody's right all the time, and I do understand that I have a huge advantage over all the pundits «covering» the war from thousands of miles away, since I am in Donetsk, on the ground, and have been here for the last 8 years. My sources include personal friends who are officers in the DPR Army, including in Spetsnaz units, and people, including myself, who have lived, and live (and die) under ukrop shelling on a daily basis.

It is no surprise that I got it right. What is surprising is how so many so-called «experts» got it so wrong, and did so in such a pompous and condescending manner. And I mean, in particular, Andre Raevsky, Ray McGovern, and above all, the poseur, plagiarist and outright liar, Dean O'Brien. Here is one of his Tweets (from London, where he «covers» the Donbass War from 2,000 miles away) posted less than 2 weeks before the actual invasion, and more than a month after my specific predictions of it.

«Those of us that know» didn't know shit, but were happy to insult me, the one who got it right.

Funny Boy O'Brien, ridiculing the «imminent invasion» less than a month before the imminent invasion.

I was also the only one to correctly predict the exact plan for the ukrop attack, which I said would involve a massive assault directly into the major cities of the Republics. As confirmed by Russian GRU Military Intelligence and Russian State Duma. The Ukrainian Army, under US/NATO orders, were to attack the Republics on February 23rd (which is a BIG Russian national holiday, The Day of the Defenders of the Fatherland, commemorating the Heroes of the Red Army who smashed the nazi armies in WW2). The attack was planned to include a massive artillery and rocket bombardment of military and civilian targets in the major Donbass cities, followed by a no-holds-barred combined arms assault directly into the densely populated city centers, where the human shields tactic now being used in all other Ukrainian cities would have been used on a massive scale, not as just a tactic, but as one of the strategic elements of the overall attack, while simultaneously carrying out world war 2 style genocidal «cleansing» of the Russian population by the very nazi battalions that Western media now denies even exist.

As more of Ukraine is liberated and de-nazified, just as in the aftermath of WW2, the genuine scope and depths of the nazi depravities and atrocities will become more obvious and undeniable, as will US and NATO complicity in these abominable crimes. It must never be forgotten that it was determined at Nuremberg that those who give the orders for war crimes are even more guilty than those who commit those crimes themselves.

The criminal overthrow of the legitimate government of Ukraine and the installation of a genuine nazi regime in Kiev will soon reach its denouement, thanks to God and Russia, and to the long suffering Russian people in Donbass and Ukraine. Thus the latest of a seemingly interminable list of US and NATO criminal wars of aggression (the supreme war crime) will again end in defeat and shame for the criminals themselves. God grant, along with the help of the Russian military, that justice will be done, and this will be their last.
