A friend from Malaysia just sent me these: (no comments needed I suppose)

by Dagmar Henn There can be no doubt, western media are full of propaganda. The claims that are in the centre of this propaganda, are almost identical. They are: 1. The crash is the fault of the Militia. 2. The Militia obstructs the investigations a. the Militia confines access to the site of the crash b. the Militia does not confine enough access to the site. c.
Check out the email I got tonight from ‘C’: Saker,I felt your despair and thought about what to say that might help you stay strong. Please allow me to remind you of two things that you know to be true:One, are the people of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kirkov and Dnipopetrovsk, Mariupol and Odessa not essentially the same people?Two, have these people not surprised you many times in the past few months,
Honestly? I feel sorry for these guys who probably did not chose to be there. But I am also extremely relieved that they were stopped and wiped out as their role was to completely encircle Novorussia and then mercilessly crush Resistance. Still, as the Russian poet Voloshin wrote “with all my heart, I pray for these and for the others“. The Saker
Well, I am still running around, but while in the car I watched some rather interesting shows on Russian TV including one called “Politics with Peter Tolstoi” who had a bunch of interesting guests talking about the issue of MH17 shot down over Novorussia. Here again, I got very little time, are some bullet-points of some of what they said:1) MH17 was most likely not shot down by a Buk
Dear friends, I am dealing with some “back office organizational issues” which are taking up a lot of my time, so I still cannot write a real full SITREP today. Hopefully I will do that during the week-end. Still, I wanted to mention a few interesting things to you, just short pointers, which I think are important. 1) We are constantly dealing with propaganda, counter-propaganda and counter-counter propaganda. And yet,
Catastrophic Desertions and Losses in the Ukrainian Army – Official Ukrainian Reports, July 19, 2014 Preamble by Gleb Bazov: It is rare that we report on the workings of the aggressor across the battle lines. This item is different. Before you is a translation, kindly prepared by Valentina Lisitsa, of a report from the head of the Ukrainian Security Service, V.O. Nalyvaichenko, to the President of Ukraine, P.A. Poroshenko. It is
Briefings Combined for July 24-25, 2014Translated from Russian by Gleb Bazov July 24, 2014 – Report from a Local Resident of Mariupol Gasoline A92 is 15 hryvnia 85 kopecks. Many companies and small factories only work to 50% of their capacity, many have sent their staff on unpaid vacation.

Translated from Russian by Gleb BazovNote: Videos & a PDF of the Google Web-cache Have Been Preserved and Are Available Upon Request Preamble: Why did the BBC delete this report by Olga Ivshina? Is it because the BBC team was unable to find any evidence that a rocket was launched in the area that the Ukrainian Security Service (“SBU”) alleges to be the place from which the Novorossiya Militia launched
I consider the Russian version much better but, hey, just for the fun of a typical Russian accent, I will post this one too (-: besides, I am sure that Antonov’s English is better than Hagel’s Russian :-)The Saker
First, I want to begin by posting the video of an important statement made by Russian Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov who is calling the USA’s bluff and challenging those who made accusations against the Novorussian Resistance and Russia to show their evidence. A special thank you! to the fantastic translator teams who managed to translate and subtitle this video in less than a day: you guys are literally providing
Dear friends,I am still on the road, but I want to tell you all that things are looking much better for the Resistance and infinitely worse for the junta in Kiev. I will write an analysis of all that when I get all the facts (and the couple of hours behind to sit my keyboard), but already I will tell you that we might well have reached a turning point

Video and audio proof of that fact that this was a fake was shown on Russian TV today.2) The “new, democratic and
Yup, you probably guessed it. It’s BHL, Bernard Henri-Levi, the so-called “philosopher” and France’s ArchZionist who after declaring war in Libya and, before that, Serbia, is now declaring war on Russia. Normally, I would post the article in question. But for BHL I will make an exception and only post the link:http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/23/opinion/putins-crime-europes-cowardice.html If you can do that and keep your breakfast down, I urge you to read his piece.
