Western media unbear its fangs

I made it onto mainstream media – sort of, with this letter being read out by Wallace Chapman on Radio NZ's flagship Sunday program


Dear Wallace,  

What a week of horror and irony!

The dust hasn't settled on the steppes of Ukraine and the investigation has not even begun and yet it seems to be all settled as to who was responsible for this deed - all seemingly based on the evidence of an audiotape currently produced by someone on YouTube.

Unfortunately, when they produce this the day before the accident they did not realise that these things leave electronic traces.

However despite all of that, it seems to be good enough for the Pentagon and for the world media, despite the fact that this audio has been revealed as a fake, for they are continuing to quote it as 'genuine' but 'uncorroborated evidence'.

Still, Putin needs to be held responsible and the rebels punished for shooting down Ukrainian air force planes on their way to bomb the women and children of Donetsk or Luhansk - something seems to have been left out of the narrative of the media.

Indeed, the week of tragedy – and irony.

A Tale of Three Tragedies and Two Cities: #MH17, the Donbass, and Gaza

The downing of MH17 was a tragedy. But the objective truth is that many more innocent civilians in the Donbass have been mass murdered by the West-backed regime that has seized power in Kiev, and that grim toll continues to rise hourly. Conveniently, the Kiev regime is exploiting the tragedy with impunity to escalate their indiscriminate shelling of Lugansk and other towns and relaunch new offensives on all fronts, knowing they are now less likely to be criticized or held to account for their war crimes than ever before.

The truth is that the tragedy of MH17 gives them complete license and carte blanche to subjugate the people of the Donbass into accepting their rule by brutal military force and ethnic cleansing. No lies are too big now that they won't be eagerly adopted by the Western MSM and no horrors too great that they won't be ignored and swept under the carpet. It is "Putin's fault" after all, at the end of the day...

The difference in Western MSM and elite reaction between the justified outrage and grief over the victims of MH17 and the complete indifference and lack of simple human empathy over the mass murder of civilians in the Donbass by their own would-be rulers, shows us clearly that to the West some humans are more equal than others, some lives are worthy of consideration, and others' aren't. The Western MSM has gone out of their way to dismiss the people of East Ukraine, deny them political agency, and try to invalidate and delegitimize their social and cultural identity. They simply don't care when those being killed are ethnic Russians or otherwise "Russian orientated". Russophobia, hatred of Russians is acceptable, even justified. Those who reject the one truth of "liberation" and "liberalism" that the West is trying to force on them are benighted and brainwashed "lost causes". If the Russian people were not considered "white", we would call this racism.

We see the reaction, or lack of said, between what is being done to the people of the Donbass, paralleled eerily with what is happening in Gaza at the same time. The two events are not unrelated. Both are under attack. The cities of both Lugansk and Gaza, both full of people, were subjected to bombing and attempts at storming last night. The West backs the regimes that are committing atrocities in both. The Western MSM ignores or cheerleads on the mass murder of civilians and ethnic cleansing in both. The resistance in both is ultimately fighting the same enemy. The lives lost are chaff to the West's geopolitical and Hegemonic games and lust for global control.


And although a final attribution to the exact circumstances of the downing of MH17 requires a complete and impartial independent investigation, there are a lot of questions that need answering, IMHO the evidence is growing that it is likely that the victims of the downed plane and the mass repression and ethnic cleansing campaign in the Donbass have the same perpetrator - the West-installed and backed regime occupying Kiev.


With regards to the Guardian, I can't really express it any better than Mark!

If there is anyone the Western MSM can put on the air with credibility to speak about and pronounce on the MH17 tragedy before the investigation even starts - its gotta be Pussy Riot. EPIC FUCKING Guardian PROPAGANDA Fail

In Russia, errors like shooting down a Malaysia Airlines jet could not have happened, so they simply won't have happened


"Since the conflict in eastern Ukraine began, Russian propaganda has sought to portray it (Ukraine's civil war) as a civil war, an internecine Ukrainian conflict—a formulation that was a comfortable dissimulation for many European democracies that wanted to avoid disrupting their economic relations with Russia".



I will leave the final word to the bear
