The summer of 2024 has echoes of 2023, you may remember back then in the run-up to the NATO summit we were bombarded with stories about Russia’s brazen act of ecocide of destroying the Kakhovskaya dam and flooding everything down-river in June 2023. I did quite a long video looking at Russian language sources which explained what actually happened. Embarrassingly for the Collective West, a long Washington Post article confirmed that the Ukrainian military had already struck the dam around October 2022 prior to its collapse in 2023 using U.S. supplied HIMARS missiles. Since the story appeared in the Washington Post, it was also hard to dismiss this as “Kremlin disinformation”. The video shows that the Ukrainian military bore primary responsibility for the collapse of the dam1.
The strike on the children’s hospital bears all of the same hallmarks as the Kakhovskaya dam incident and the false accusations over the Polish rocket incident. Western “leaders” immediately claiming that the hospital was struck by a Russian missile and even going further to claim that this was a deliberate act.
Looking at the responses to this post, it is clear that many people picked up Starmer’s rank hypocrisy of denouncing this incident in the strongest possible terms, whilst saying almost nothing about the daily destruction of Gaza and the terrible civilian casualties there. In addition, recent U.S. enabled missile strikes on families on a beach in Crimea didn’t elicit any response. To say that Starmer’s moral outrage is highly selective would be an understatement.
It appears that he is jumping to conclusions given that there is every chance that this damage was inflicted by Ukraine’s own air defence systems. The Russian Ministry of Defence came out with a clearly worded and categorical denial.
I thought that it would be worthwhile to share this translation with you, since our “free press” will almost certainly not mention this.
On the basis of cui bono? The idea that Russia would send a sophisticated missile to blow up sick children in hospital to enrage Ukrainian and international opinion, makes no sense at all. In this conflict, the Russian version of events has turned out to be far more reliable than the Ukrainian version and the Russian version that this was Ukrainian air defence missiles hitting the hospital is much more plausible than anything our war mongering politicians tell us.
It is also important to note the suspicious timing of this alleged war crime on the day before an important NATO summit, starting on 9th July 2024. The subject matter is also classic war propaganda and accusing an adversary of killing children is a tried and tested method of fuelling outrage in order to justify more war. In the run up to the Iraq war a young Kuwaiti girl provided an emotional, tear filled testimony to U.S. Congress about how she witnessed Iraqi soldiers throwing babies out of Kuwaiti incubators and stealing the incubators. The only problem was that this never happened and this lady was nowhere near Kuwait at the time, in fact she was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States and the whole manipulative testimony had been engineered by a U.S. PR firm, Hill & Knowlton2.
The one thing that can be said for sure about the Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital incident is that the Western war mongers don’t have much interest in facts and immediately push out inflammatory accusations in order to increase tensions.
The U.S. Deep State plan to provoke war with Russia has been in place since at least 2008 and probably goes as far back as the 1991 Wolfowitz doctrine3. Along the way, the U.S. Deep State has gathered up some rather unpleasant allies, notably the leaders of the Baltic states who now seem to want to settle historic scores over Soviet occupation.
As I mentioned in a previous post, I don’t believe that it is possible to understand the political class in terms of rational policies, it needs to be viewed as a cult-like group pushing a destructive agenda. Many of the projects this group pursues (net zero, mass vaccination and proxy war) have the common features of transferring large sums of money to vested interests which making the population correspondingly poorer. Some of the group members are committed Malthusians which makes them particularly dangerous4.
