Dear friends,Those who organized the MH17 false flag have now clearly given the instruction to their propaganda machine (aka MSM) to forget about this tragedy and to pretend like it never happened. Sure, there are a few courageous sources, such as the World Socialist Web Site, which do ask the right question “Why have the media and Obama administration gone silent on MH17?“, but even most of the “alternative” media

I have been contacted today by the producers of a most interesting and unique documentary entitled Jacob Cohen “Documenterview” who informed me that their video was now available on YouTube in a seven-part series you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzHtFW-mC6vGh07g8RK7sUITTYsQYBlN0When I asked them to make the video available in one file, they told me that they would do that, but that in the meantime I could use a special embed code
I have coined the word “Banderastan” to refer to the rump-Ukraine currently controlled by the Nazi junta in Kiev. The term, of course, is a reference to the Ukie “hero” Stepan Bandera combined with the Persian suffix “stan” which means “land of”. Of course, in reality, rump-Ukraine (that is the Ukraine as it was between 1991 and 2014 minus Crimea and minus the Donbass) is not controlled by the junta
I will honestly tell you that I often feel a sense of total despair and disgust with my fellow human whose behavior often makes me forget how beautiful humans can also be. Tonight, I want to share with you two videos which, besides their obvious political message, simply reminded me that humans are also beautiful and that they carry inside themselves an “inner dignity” which gives them the courage and
Commentary: So the Ukies have deliberately done in Lugansk what they have already done in Slaviansk just before the assault: they destroyed the city’s water supply. In the meantime, other Ukie forces have used MLRS systems to bomb and destroy a column of refugees fleeing from the combat area. It is crucial to understand that these are not “mistakes”. In reality, this is typical US/NATO doctrine. Most of you probably

Dear friends,I sometimes get very interesting emails in my inbox and this happened today when I found the email below sent to me by “M”. Having read it I immediately contacted “M” to ask for his permission to post it here. I felt that this would be especially important since I posted the “Appeal” of Egor Prosvirnin which some of you interpreted as anti-German and then accused me of also
Check out this interesting video of a Ukie battalion commander. His frustrated speech clearly shows the following:1) The basic Ukie tactic: choose a spot on the map, hammer it with artillery fire for a few hours and then send in soldiers as canon fodder to “mop it up”. What is important to understand here is that well-trained military forces know how to dig in an protect themselves from artillery fire.

First, I have to tell you that I don’t know when or where this video was shot. I would say that it is very recent and that it was show somewhere outside the combat zone. It seems to show a Ukie column stopped on the side of a highway which is being approached by civilians offering the exhausted soldiers some water and beginning a conversation. The rest is self-explanatory (make

Guys, I came home late after a pretty crazy day and I can’t write a proper SITREP, if only because of the still very confused situation in the eastern Ukraine. Still, I want to share a couple of short pointers with you.The “destroyed Russian armor column”: Poroshenko vs Carl SaganI cannot prove a negative. But then, I am not the one making the claim. The Ukies and a few British
