Putin Recognizes Donbass Republics, Sends Russian Military to 'Denazify' Ukraine

Good to know. Lets all just move there then.
And what does it change :huh: I said "not even remotely as harmful as Western vaccines" and not "the Chinese vaccine is harmless" I admit that traditional vaccines are especially harmful to children whose bodies receive too much toxic metals but for adults it is a drop in the ocean in today's industrially polluted world . That and in the branch of the coronavirus pandemic a couple of times the mortality figures were indicated and the fact that even vector vaccines like Astrazenec, although dangerous and deadly, are relatively safe compared to MRNA, and traditional vaccines against the background of MRNA, as I said "not even remotely as harmful as Western vaccines"
 
Here are the channels I've subscribed to:





I just joined the following two channels on Telegram from "Russel Bentley" (brought up a number of times here). He was apparently deplatformed from YouTube, a couple of days ago:


 
GH Eliason reports:

Neo Nazis rob church in West Ukraine.​


The village of Verkhovyna, Ivano-Frankivsk region is as far away from the frontline as you can get and yet Ukrainian Nazis, armed with firearms are robbing the temple of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), supposedly the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The parishioners were lined up. They could have been shot as "Muscovites" but the neo nazis were afraid of the cameras so they just yelled and threatened. Everyday Ukrainian Nazism.
 
I think it was because of vaccines. They commenced their mandatory adult vaccination law in December 2019 and things just got worse from there. Funnily enough what we are seeing now with the jab is what was happening there on the streets.
I don't think it was the vaccines themselves since the mass vaccination began slowly in mid-April 2021 and these videos are from around January 2020... the videos of fainting would actually be from more common causes such as dehydration and low blood glucose... the suits worn by medical staff were mandatory for all staff at the time due to the virus... but the videos would have been taken out of context and would have been internet noise.


changing the subject, as data according to the youtube war channel GmitU (in Spanish... although the video has automatic subtitles and can be translated with the option that youtube gives for this and thus be able to understand enough) the Russian logistics depend a lot on the trains and Russia would be the country that has the most this dependency worldwide in terms of the military (inheritance of the Soviet Union), but they like this doctrine for various reasons, such as the enormous extension of the country and it is not that they could not change it at least partially (if they are not doing it anymore), the point is that that is why their advances once they are away from the fair lines have a limit of 150,000 kilometers per day.
Nazi Germany for example could sustain 4 times that distance and western armies have shown a capacity to advance around 500,000-750,000 km.
All this would be causing Russia to have to control and secure cities and with it the railway lines that pass through them to improve their logistics and that is why, in addition to the concern for civilians, their progress is slower... other factors would be the mud due to the current climate and that the Ukrainians destroyed many railway lines and bridges and the Russians supposedly would be repairing them, it is also shown that the large group of conboys that approaches Kiev from Belarus has logistical problems since they opted for a more direct line short instead of being closer to the railway that extends further west, also a supposed operation to surround Kiev would be left almost until the end of the conflict since it would take a lot of concentrated personnel to create a cordon around the city ( the same applies to other smaller and currently important cities that have not yet been taken).
 
Apologies if someone has posted this already:

The documentary about the Donbass made by a German team is called 'Ukrainian Agony - The concealed war' and was published in 2016 on YT. It has English subtitles and has been dubbed. The team started filming in July 2014. I have only watched parts of it, but it shows the situation on the ground that we already know here, but it bears repeating:

The Ukrainian army is using civilian shields in the Donbass, the captured Ukrainian soldiers are treated humanely, and the suffering is heartbreaking. Some footage is VERY graphic. A section of the film about the suffering of the people in Donbass begins at 1h10 minutes.

From Digital Sword:

Since mid-July 2014, our war correspondent team is still on site in the southeast of Ukraine in the Donbass. We shot countless videos and scored over a thousand photos. The team was the ONLY western and German team of journalists with the highest level of accreditation and therefore had access to many critical points in this civil war. Our materials are now being used in a documentary.

We made this documentary film from over 3 terabytes video that were filmed in several months on site. It shows the different areas of the war in recounting episodes and individual stories of civilians, soldiers and journalists. The focus is on the personal perspectives of each of the actors, supported by the recorded material, during and after the bombing of cities, battles and on people's lives under war conditions in the middle of Europe.
The documentary is not an action movie. Rather, it lives from spoken word, by the voices of the people of the interviews and their impressions. Accompanied with sequences of events it draws a picture of the personal feelings of the participants whether civilians, soldiers and journalists. Ukrainian Agony is a silent film about the immense volume and violence of war. The propaganda has reached a new level of quality. Disinformation, concealment, half-truths up to outright lies are the weapons of certain Western media in this war in an unprecedented degree.
One of the YT comments from a few days ago:
This film should be shown on TV at prime time in Western Europe and USA. So people there know exactly what is going on and why. George Orwell was so right in his vision of the future and how the population can be manipulated by media to believe anything. Anything but the truth.
 
Mar. 13, RT.com
I'm not surprised, but they will regret it in the Future.
US is a Snake.
Question: Will Venezuela get its gold back ?????
Answer: NO

Obviously Russia has spies on the ground as well those in the sky, so they know what is going on with respect to arms transfers from Poland. After bombing 2 Ukrainian airports close to Poland's border they are going after rail delivery points. After this it will probably be hunting for trucks.
 
YouTube has been throwing this Russian vlogger into my feed and I'm not sure what to think. In any case, here she is interviewing young Russians on the street about the "situation"

I found this a refreshing view of Russian people. In fact it is important to understand how they think, live and rationalize etc. It was good to see that they were all more mature in their answers, outlook, and positivity of life than most in the West. Despite/because of their history perhaps.
One overwhelming theme is that they nearly all said that it is about changing ourselves, more than the situation, sanctions, action of authorities etc.
Thank you for posting the video. I have subscribed to her channel as I wish to learn more in-depth about their culture and people. x

They have also setup there Ukraine Russian invasion platform with the typical images and opinionated editorials.

Which proves it's just another echo chamber for the masses.

Posted by TheGuardian | Mar 13, 2022 | Syndicated, Ukraine
One of the wildest aspects of the first Great Information War is not just that you can follow Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in real time, minute by minute and step by step, but you can also join in.
Because in 2022, information is power. And one of the many huge unexpected geopolitical shifts of the last week is that this power has been returned to the people. On March 4 in Russia, Vladimir Putin, a man who is now scared of his own shadow, took the extraordinary step of attempting to outlaw information. He banned Facebook. He shut down Twitter. He passed a new law that declares journalism a criminal offense: any journalist found to have published “fake news” on the war in Ukraine now faces up to 15 years in prison.

It is, like so many things in the last week, incredible, unprecedented, horrifying – but more importantly it is also desperate and absurd. Because in 2022 you cannot ban information. It is like trying to ban oxygen. It is the kind of move that one of his grey-faced Soviet predecessors might have made. It is as modern and up-to-date as a typewriter. Only a fool would make predictions right now, but here is one anyway: it proves that Putin, the founding father of what has come to be known as “information war,” just lost the information war.

Anything can and may happen. But having dominated the dark arts of disinformation for the last eight years, the Kremlin’s invincible mastery of the information space has been exposed as a sham, a fiction, another lie. Putin has put on the equivalent of a pair of bell-bottoms and is dad-dancing across the internet. Meanwhile Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not just commanding his armed forces: he is commanding TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, Telegram. He’s simultaneously available across all social media platforms – hybrid warfare’s first hybrid leader.

If this sounds like wishful thinking, it is. Russia’s war on journalism and journalists, like its war on Ukraine, is unspeakably chilling. But it is also like watching Stalin take on the TikTok kids. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy has not just put out a call for foreign fighters – anyone prepared to get on a train and pick up a gun – he is also being assisted by a crack squad of armchair intelligence officers.
Because one of the most remarkable aspects of the war so far is how anyone with a smartphone can play a role in the extraordinary Ukrainian resistance. “Osint” researchers – open source intelligence gatherers – are methodically scouring the internet for the latest photos and videos coming out of Ukraine and verifying and geolocating them in real time.

Every tank is being logged. Every truck and every troop movement is tracked, registered and added to open source maps and databases. This is a country of 44 million people recording every twitch their Russian invaders make. It’s a firehose of real-time information that, with the help of this volunteer army, is being turned into real-time military strategy.

On March 7, I chaired a panel with Eliot Higgins, founder of the online investigative organization Bellingcat, who has pioneered so many of these open source techniques and whose team has been responsible for many of its most astounding feats – identifying Sergei Skripal’s poisoners, to name just one. What distinguishes this war, Higgins says, is that it is the first time the Osint community has mobilized in real time.

“It happened in Syria,” he said. “But it took time.” And in that time lag, lies, disinformation, confusion dominated. This time around, he said, the disinformation just has not had the chance to take root – a result not just of this great civilian information army but of U.S. intelligence too. It took the unprecedented step of releasing its findings to the world ahead of the invasion. It informed us that there would be fake news about fake bombs, and when there were, we watched them being debunked in real time.

The world is terrible and dark, and so much of this is on us: it is the corruption of our governments with their offshore structures and oligarch-friendly libel laws that is responsible for so much of this. That and the insanity of allowing Silicon Valley monopolies to police the platforms that provided Putin with his attack surface. All this has come back to bite NATO, and there are truly terrifying possibilities ahead. But not since 2010 and the Arab spring has it felt so acutely like technology could be the people’s friend.

It is also why we must, must, must call out the fundamental untruth that underpins this, the Kremlin’s war on truth. Russia did not invade Ukraine last week. It invaded Ukraine in 2014. And it is not just at war with Ukraine. It is at war with us too. In February 2014 it launched a joint military assault on Ukraine and the west.

We did not know it then. But we do now. Because the first stage in Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was an attack on information. He distorted reality, injecting the toxin of fake news – a military strategy that he deployed against us at the exact same moment across the exact same platforms.

We knew this because it is laid out in forensic and exhaustive detail in what may be one of the most misunderstood documents of modern times: the Mueller report. We just failed to understand what it meant. But now we can and must understand, because the curtain has been lifted. Putin has been at war with us for the last eight years. A man we realized last week is the Wizard of Oz. He’s a man hiding behind a curtain, a veil of lies. A man hiding behind a curtain with a stash of nuclear warheads.

We finally have the light we need to see him for who he is, to understand the war he has been waging against us in plain sight, aided by his quisling western allies – Fox News and all the chocolate soldiers of “the war on woke.” It just may be too late.

There has not been such a stark and universal moment of moral clarity for 82 years.

This is lies versus truth. It is darkness versus light. It is Stalin versus the TikTok kids. But Stalin has the nukes. He has the thermobaric weapons. He has the means and motivation to flatten not just Kyiv but the rest of us too. And what happens next is anybody’s guess.

Today, 3:04 pm Mini snip:
An American journalist has been killed by Russian gunfire in Irpin, outside the capital Kyiv, according to regional police.

A second reporter who was with him was injured and rushed to a hospital.

Reports indicate the two were in a car when Russian troops opened fire at them.

A sign back in 2014 of things to come ????

Reports indicate the two were in a car when Russian troops opened fire at them.


Here the journalist clearly says that he was shot as he was passing a checkpoint. OK, whose checkpoint was it ? Well it seems likely that they were on the Ukrainian side as that is where he is getting hospital care. If it was on Russian territory I strongly doubt the Russians would shoot them up and then let them return to the Ukrainian side. So the question is why were the Americans shot up ?

 
Update:
New York Times says US journalists killed in Ukraine was not on its assignment

No advances by any side were reported in the Kiev region. Russian forces are attempting to reach the southern outskirts of the city in order to blockade it. However, there were no breakthroughs reported for several days in a row. Russian forces are likely waiting and reinforcing their positions around the city. At the same time, the mop up of the capital or any major assault on the city are likely to be avoided. The sourrounding of the capital has a “diplomatic” aim to persuade the Kiev regime to capitulate.
Clashes continue in the same areas of Bucha, Irpen, Gostomel and Vorzel.
The Russian Defence Ministry shared the footage of the cover operation during the airborne landing at the airfield near Gostomel on February 24.
