US regime controls your mind not only with a heavy hand on the media
It also manipulates search engines. Donbass is the most censored news location.
Knowing that Assange is in jail for disclosing censored (“classified” is the euphemism) information, you should know by now that you are being denied crucial information that every citizen of a REAL free and democratic country must have to make decisions.
(Your daily air strike update appears directly after this article).
The control of knowledge is control over your mind and is criminal. It’s high treason. Any entity that tries to limit your knowledge of key information influencing your thinking about war is a felon and, in a perfect world, should be punished and removed from office.
YOU as a stakeholder in your country’s destiny MUST have access to information about wars that you as a taxpayer are being charged for.
But the US government, thanks to the Neocons who control us, via AIPAC and other mechanisms, denies you access to the most important information – crucially important because you are being denied affordable medical care while your dollars go flying off to a corrupt Nazi country in Eastern Europe and an openly self-avowed and worldwide-known perpetrator of genocide in the Middle East. Not to mention the coming future wars against Iran, North Korea, China and who knows what other countries will face US invasion.
This behavior is criminal and the grassroots are complicit because they have not yet arisen to the extent needed to rein in the Washington mafia. Yes, there have been massive protests, but not enough to stop the crimes against humanity. We as a people are failing to protect ourselves from the alien government in Washington that seeks to enslave us.
Why do I say that Donbass is the most news-censored place in the world?
Because back in 2014, there was ample information in the internet about the atrocities committed against Donbass by the US-backed Kiev regime. Anyone who wanted to know could access this information. It was not easy but possible. I once kept an eye on a Russian language site called Novorossiya. No mainstream media would relay this information. The media were either explicitly forbidden by the government to divulge this information or they instinctively knew that it would lead Americans to question the rationale of the phony war on Russia instigated and provoked by the Washington Neocons, and that if they reported it, they would lose their positions and possibly face arrest.
Let me go back and mention the crucial fact that the US-backed Kiev was illegally and immorally first bombing and then shelling areas of Donbass as part of this provocation, starting in 2014 when the Obama regime seized control of Kiev. I wrote this article on Substack proving that this provocation was indeed taking place, giving the lie to the media’s ubiquitous phrase “Putin’s unprovoked invasion.” On Feb 24, 2022, Putin was responding legitimately to the genocide in order to protect the Russian people (please read the partial text of his latest speech below). Yet any Western reporter who had dared to mention this fact would have been summarily fired.
This knowledge is key and your government, supposedly of the people, by the people and for the people – but in reality of the Neocons, by the Neocons and for the Neocons – denied you this key information in a despicable effort to deceive you the taxpayer into willingly giving up your medical care and other vital government services and allowing Washington to impoverish you with the obligation to pay for immoral and illegal military support for the Kiev Nazis (and later for financial support for genocide in Palestine).
The media propaganda in favor of these wars is illegal, as pointed out by a prominent international lawyer.
Covenant adopted by UN General Assembly in 1966.
Article 20 states,
“1. Any propaganda for war shall be prohibited by law.
2. Any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law.”
The general belief by the grassroots in the mythical “monster” that supposedly is Putin and the supposedly dangerous “expansionist” Russia all hinge on false information fed to you by your keepers in Washington is precisely what keeps you poor and impoverishes you further in the interest of killing innocent people for profit. The REAL monster – and your mortal enemy – is not in the Kremlin. He is in the Pentagon, the State Department, the halls of Congress, Langley, the White House, the lobbies, the think tanks, the corporations, the universities, the CIA and FBI, and the news companies that do Washington’s dirty work of keeping you abysmally ignorant against your own interests. All the governments and media outlets of Europe are complicit. They are all treasonous and felonious, and are therefore illegitimate. Civil disobedience is necessary.
It was in Donbass that the mother-tongue Russian speakers were first slaughtered by the US-backed Kiev regime (this could only have happened in complicity with Washington! BTW, it is still happening. Western-supplied arms are used in this genocidal action).
Because this particular geographic area was the crux of the US efforts to instigate the war, it was the area subject to the heaviest censorship.
The prime example was the draconian censorship and punishment meted out to Alina Lipp. Please open the embedded link to hear the report on her persecution (BTW, this American reporter speaks perfect German!).
It is crystal clear from this report that the German authorities are openly defending censorship. The German government is an utterly obsequious vassal of the US, and most of the other European governments, from the EU to local administrations, are also total slaves of Washington. I decided to focus today’s moral tale specifically on the Donbass because I just happened to decide this morning to visit the site Donbass Today, an important source of news, for example, about the progress on the battlefield and on the Russian air strikes.
However, while I normally do my internet searches using Yandex, I decided to see just how censored US-based sites are.
I tried the searches hosted by Bing, and then Chrome, using “Donass Today” as the search terms.
Using Bing, I went through 10 whole pages of results and was unable to find Donbass Today. The first page brought up mostly BBC articles mentioning Donbass in their headlines. I went through all ten of the first pages and found mostly articles in US sites but the actual web site “Donbass Today” did not show up.
Using Chrome, I typed in Donbass Today and was able to find more Russian sites in this search than I had with Bing. I brought up TASS, Sputnik, Sputnik Afrique, President of Russia, and Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but bottom line: the site named Donbass Today did not come up using either of these US-based search engines.
When I switched to Yandex, however, Donbass Today came up on the first search page.
Donbass is definitely a sensitive subject for the US authorities and will presumably remain so.
I therefore suspect that the more you as a Westerner know about Donbass, the freer — and the safer and wiser – you will become.
Apparently, though, Russian-language reports of daily air strikes on Ukraine are another closely guarded secret in the West. I am unable to find daily air strike information in a Russian language search using either Bing or Chrome.
I recommend you use Yandex in searches on politically or geopolitically sensitive subjects.

On the night of February 24, the Russian army hit a number of targets of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex
Feb 24, 2024
On the night of February 23-24, the sounds of explosions were heard in various cities of Ukraine. The Russian army carried out strikes on several targets in Krivoy Rog, Dnepropetrovsk region, and Kirovograd. This information comes from sources in Ukraine and Russia.
Both missile strikes and kamikaze drones were reported to have been used in these attacks. In addition to Krivoy Rog and Kirovograd (Ukrainian name - Kropyvnytskyi), the Russian army also attacked infrastructure in Kherson and Odessa. The air raid alert sounded in Kyiv, Dnepropetrovsk, Odessa, Nikolaev, Kharkov and a number of other oblasts. As has been repeatedly stated by the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Russian Armed Forces attack exclusively military and energy infrastructure, enterprises of the military-industrial complex, and related strategic objects, without attempting to inflict defeat on the civilian population. [Of course, whenever Ukrainian air defense missiles miss their targets and hit civilians and civilian infrastructure, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense and its minions in media report these strikes as Russian and the US media cut and paste this utterly false information]
Apparently, defense factories and enterprises were attacked, since the destruction of these facilities and stopping their activities is a priority task. For example, a day earlier, a workshop for the production of unmanned aerial vehicles was attacked.
At the same time, regions in the center and south of Russia are suffering from UAVs belonging to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Excerpts from today’s address by Putin:
Of course, practice, international relations and the rules regulating them had to take into account the changes that took place in the world and in the balance of forces. However, this should have been done professionally, smoothly, patiently, and with due regard and respect for the interests of all states and one’s own responsibility. Instead, we saw a state of euphoria created by the feeling of absolute superiority, a kind of modern absolutism, coupled with the low cultural standards and arrogance of those who formulated and pushed through decisions that suited only themselves. The situation took a different turn.
There are many examples of this. First a bloody military operation was waged against Belgrade, without the UN Security Council’s sanction but with combat aircraft and missiles used in the heart of Europe. The bombing of peaceful cities and vital infrastructure went on for several weeks. I have to recall these facts, because some Western colleagues prefer to forget them, and when we mention the event, they prefer to avoid speaking about international law, instead emphasising the circumstances which they interpret as they think necessary.
Then came the turn of Iraq, Libya and Syria. The illegal use of military power against Libya and the distortion of all the UN Security Council decisions on Libya ruined the state, created a huge seat of international terrorism, and pushed the country towards a humanitarian catastrophe, into the vortex of a civil war, which has continued there for years. The tragedy, which was created for hundreds of thousands and even millions of people not only in Libya but in the whole region, has led to a large-scale exodus from the Middle East and North Africa to Europe.
A similar fate was also prepared for Syria. The combat operations conducted by the Western coalition in that country without the Syrian government’s approval or UN Security Council’s sanction can only be defined as aggression and intervention.
But the example that stands apart from the above events is, of course, the invasion of Iraq without any legal grounds. They used the pretext of allegedly reliable information available in the United States about the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. To prove that allegation, the US Secretary of State held up a vial with white power, publicly, for the whole world to see, assuring the international community that it was a chemical warfare agent created in Iraq. It later turned out that all of that was a fake and a sham, and that Iraq did not have any chemical weapons. Incredible and shocking but true. We witnessed lies made at the highest state level and voiced from the high UN rostrum. As a result we see a tremendous loss in human life, damage, destruction, and a colossal upsurge of terrorism [This is how the US has created terrorist groups like ISIS and Al-Qaeda]
Me
Though I am sure the Putin knows this, he would not dare state that all this US-Zionist-perpetrated mischief in the Middle East (or West Asia) was a result of the US doing Israel’s bidding, in accordance with the plan set forth in what is now known as the Yinon Plan, although the US’ obsequiousness toward Israel was evident long before this plan was made public. The US heavy-handed support for the proposition of Israeli statehood at the UN was evident in 1948 already, long before the Yinon Plan became known. Yinon was just one of many who had yearned for decades for a Greater Israel based on the destruction of the Muslim Middle East. Thus, Israel and its closest allies in the US body politic (eg, Trump, Bolton, Pompeo) are violently anti-Muslim, greatly exaggerating the ills with which Islam is fraught. The first stirrings of the project’s implementation were observed among prominent Jewish Zionists even before the Balfour Declaration was issued. The implementation of this plan therefore began before its publication and is still happening now long thereafter.
I have the sneaking suspicion that the US government’s irrational animus toward Russia has everything to do with Israel’s warmongering policies. Though the evidence is a bit scarce, it is known in Russia that a large proportion of those disgruntled Russians who immediately left their homeland right after the start of the Russian Special Military Operation were Jews, most of whom went to Israel. Never forget that Zelensky is Jewish and that, for arcane reasons, his regime is reverent toward the memory of Stepan Bandera, the infamous Hitler collaborator who murdered over 100,000 Jews in Western Ukraine during WW II. Equally ironic is the fact that in the pre-war years, Jews enjoyed good relations with western Ukrainians, better than with Poles, though after the Germans invaded, these quickly dissipated, and it was then that Bandera launched his pogrom against Jews.
I would now like to say something very important for those who may be tempted to interfere in these developments from the outside. No matter who tries to stand in our way or all the more so create threats for our country and our people, they must know that Russia will respond immediately, and the consequences will be such as you have never seen in your entire history. No matter how the events unfold, we are ready. All the necessary decisions in this regard have been taken. I hope that my words will be heard.
Me
Yes, I too hope that Putin’s words will be heard. But, as Putin has said many times before, he had warned the West what would happen if the US and NATO ignored his words.
They went right ahead and cavalierly crossed his red lines and now we not only have a war on our hands but a costly war in terms of treasure and human life that has drained Western resources and hurt the European economy. Ukraine is essentially ruined, a failed state, with the bulk of its male population gone or dead. And the world has been turned upside down.
So what everyone concerned about world peace must now ask themselves is whether Putin’s clairvoyance will become reality, as did his first warnings to US-NATO in 2022, and if so, what form will this reality take?
I think it is clear that Russia will not hesitate to go to the wall, but will that wall be nuclear?
I’d have to say I would not be surprised.
Do you hear Putin yet?

The Israeli government used the October 7 events as an excuse to attack Gaza and the Palestinian people. The occupation of Gaza was already planned. October 7 was the excuse for this. It is necessary to know that the events started 75 years ago, not on October 7. If you torture a people for 75 years, destroy their lives, steal their lands, exile them, they will surely respond. They were not going to sit back and watch your genocide. Zionists want to exile the people of Gaza and occupy Gaza so as not to give it back.
The sad thing is that they do this on behalf of the Jews, but Torah Jews will never be a party to this genocide and will stand by the Palestinian people.

“Completely crazy”: Poles were taken aback by Ukraine’s behavior
MOSCOW, February 24 – RIA Novosti. Readers of the Polish publication wPolityce reacted sharply to Kyiv’s threats to take action if the blockade of the Ukrainian border continues.
Earlier, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denis Shmygal said that a government delegation arrived at the border with Poland to meet with its authorities on the issue of the transport blockade, but negotiations did not take place. He expressed hope that the issue of unblocking the border will be resolved no later than March 28, when a joint meeting of the governments of the two countries is scheduled, otherwise Kyiv threatens to apply mirror measures.
On Wednesday, Vladimir Zelensky called on Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Andrzej Duda to personally come to the Ukrainian-Polish border by February 24 to resolve the situation.
The Ukrainian Prime Minister's statement caused outrage among wPolityce readers.
“Man, we don’t need your crappy grain, and you will die without us. So apologize for what you said about Poland, and return to Kyiv!” – said user Anty dureń.
“Zelensky is a buffoon who has never been favorable to Poland. Enough,” said Brr.
"Any problems with your head?" – asked Marek777.
“*** (to hell – ed.) with Ukraine,” A. Bart expressed his indignation.
“These Banderites live in some kind of matrix, because they are completely crazy! The clowns think that they are the kings of the world, dictating terms to Poland without its consent!” – LeonZawodowiec spoke out.
“The hypocritical Zelensky will dictate to the Polish government when to arrive at the border because he wants to talk. An arrogant Banderaite,” aśka was indignant.
“Let Zelensky go to Berlin, and let him and his trucks bypass us. In addition, you have to pay for everything. Ukraine should not receive anything from us for free. Mercy has ended, especially since half of the aid was stolen,” said olimpia.
“If the issue is not resolved by March 28, then as part of its response, Ukraine will close the border and will not allow any weapons into the territory of Ukraine,” nicelus sarcastically said.
"No one is blocking the border. Farmers are checking for smuggling. Grain from Ukraine comes to Poland, like other products. This is the mafia. An immediate embargo on goods from Ukraine. We do not need this poison in Poland," wzwz added.
On February 9, a nationwide protest of farmers began. They are protesting throughout the country, blocking roads and entrances to checkpoints on the border with Ukraine. One of the main postulates of farmers is to stop importing agricultural products from Ukraine.
Polish-Ukrainian relations have become significantly more complicated due to the embargo on Ukrainian grain. On September 15, 2023, the European Commission decided not to extend restrictions on the import of four types of Ukrainian agricultural products into several EU border countries, but obliged Kyiv to introduce export control measures. After this, the authorities of Slovakia, Hungary and Poland announced that they were extending the ban unilaterally. In this regard, Ukraine filed a complaint with the WTO. In response, three EU countries announced that they would boycott meetings of the coordination platform on Ukrainian grain.
