Telling the truth while writing it in a way that hides the real criminals.

This is what really happened

Ukrainian nationalists massacred about 4,000 Jews in early July 1941. Another pogrom, known as the Petliura Days, was organized in late July. This pogrom View This Term in the Glossary was named for Simon Petliura, who had organized anti-Jewish pogroms in the Ukraine after World War I. For three days, Ukrainian militants went on a rampage through the Jewish districts of Lvov. They took groups of Jews to the Jewish cemetery and to Lunecki prison and shot them. More than 2,000 Jews were murdered and thousands more were injured.

‘It felt like history itself’ – 48 protest photographs that changed the world

The Guardian

Protest can change everything. Which is why governments around the world want to suppress it. In a week when thousands in the US expressed their fury over Roe v Wade, we look back at some of the images that helped rewrite laws and change the way we think.

Governments tend to define democracy as narrowly as possible. The story they tell goes as follows: you vote; the majority party takes office; you leave it to govern on your behalf for the next four or five years. (...)

We have seen what happens if we leave politics to governments. Fairly elected or not, they will, without effective public pressure, abuse their power. (...)

Trust in governments destroys democracy, which survives only through constant challenge. It requires endless disruption of the cosy relationship between our representatives and powerful forces: the billionaire press, plutocrats, political donors, friends in high places. What challenge and disruption mean, above all, is protest. (...)

A government that cannot tolerate protest is a government that cannot tolerate democracy.

Such governments are becoming a global norm. In the UK, two policing bills in quick succession seek to shut down all effective forms of protest. (...)

In the US, state legislatures have been undermining the federal right to protest, empowering the police to use catch-all offences such as “trespass” or “disrupting the peace” to break up demonstrations and make arrests. (...) In Russia, a new law against “discrediting the armed forces” has been used to prosecute dissenters engaging in actions as mild as writing “no to war” in the snow. Similar draconian laws are being imposed by governments in many other nations.

Why do governments want to ban protest? Because it’s effective. Why do they want us to accept their narrow vision of democracy? Because it makes our power ineffective. (...)

The extraordinary people in these images understand this – from suffragettes picketing the White House in 1917 to Patsy Stevenson being manhandled by police at last year’s Sarah Everard vigil; from relatives of those killed at Amritsar in India in 1919 to those taking to the streets after George Floyd’s murder in the US.

Almost everything of importance is disintegrating fast: ecosystems, the health system, standards in public life, equality, human rights, terms of employment. (...) Business as usual is a threat to life on Earth. Disrupting it is the greatest civic duty of all. (...)

Frenchman Adrien Bocquet “whitewashing” Russian crimes in Bucha

According to the Frenchman, he came to Ukraine with a humanitarian mission to help women, children, and Ukrainian refugees.

There is no data confirming that he actually was in Bucha on his Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, although he had been using these platforms quite actively before. Despite this fact, in his media appearances, Adrien Bocquet claims he has obtained “hundreds of videos of war crimes committed by the Ukrainian military.”

Not a single video or photo has yet been published or handed over to French law enforcement, which is directly involved in the Bucha war crime investigation.

We reached out to Adrien Bocquet for a comment, via his Instagram account, but he never returned our inquiry as of the time this story was published.

France’s BFM.TV aired several photos that allegedly confirm Adrien Bocquet’s visit to Ukraine as part of a humanitarian mission. These photos show on the background a van that with the logo of the Sheptytsky Hospital Charity Foundation, which is actually located in Lviv.

In order to find out how long Adrien has been working with the organization and what exactly he was doing there, we turned to the Foundation chief, Andriy Lohin.
Lohin told StopFake that Adrien Bocquet had visited the Charity’s branch in #Lviv only twice and never systematically worked with them. During both visits, Adrien arrived unannounced, using private transport, bringing some packages of humanitarian aid. Adrien made his private visits alongside several people accompanying him at lunchtime on April 4 and at about midnight on April 6. At the same time, according to Andriy Lohin, no one could speak with Adrian and his companions as the they all spoke only French (although in his interviews, Adrien Bocquet claims that he understands both Russian and Ukrainian a little, thanks to which he allegedly found out what the “Ukrainian Nazis with the Azov Regiment were chatting about in Bucha).

His story, which is shared over and over again in the studios of French media outlets, contains clear signs of Russian propaganda clichés. The details of the story are also confusing as they contradict the objective timeline of what was happening in the Ukrainian town of Bucha throughout April. Anyone who followed the events of the war in Ukraine even superficially would notice this. However, the French broadcasters seem to be listening to his story with interest, without asking any detailed questions.

Farhad A,

Instead of escalating the war, EU should push for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire.

Sadly both EU and US are taking advantage of the moment to push for militarization of the continent and finish up their long lost dream of destroying Russia once and for. Thank to Putin
