The current conflict in Ukraine provides a plethora of examples of the power of doublethink in shaping narratives in order to justify any actions, beliefs, and statements that are either untrue or so grossly distorted as to be entirely unbelievable.

The novelist George Orwell coined the term doublethink in his classic dystopian novel 1984. He defined doublethink as
"The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them...To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just as long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies."
Although the concept is elucidated in a work of fiction, it has clear and unmistakable parallels in the real world that, like Oceania - the supranational state in which the novel takes place - is in a state of constant war, and seemingly has been from time immemorial.

Comment: Amen!

Human Rights Watch blames Kiev army for indiscriminately killing civilians with missiles

The Ukrainian army is using indiscriminate Grad missiles to attack densely populated areas in Donetsk, which violates international humanitarian law, Human Rights Watch alleged. It also blamed militia for taking cover in those areas.

The rights organization confirmed four rocket attacks by the Ukrainian military, or Kiev-allied paramilitary, on residential areas in or near Donetsk, which resulted in at least 16 civilian deaths and many more wounded. The attacks were carried out with Grad multiple rocket weapon systems, highly indiscriminate weapons that cannot be used against populated areas.

Judging by the trail of impact the rockets left, "in four attacks they were coming from areas under the control of the Ukrainian army," Ole Solvang, researcher and security adviser for Human Rights Watch told RT.

"We were not able to see any kind of possible military target in that area and it's quite clear that this is a residential area. Everybody that we spoke to said that there had been no fighters, no weapons in that area," Solvang added.

The group released a statement on Friday.

"Although Ukrainian government officials and the press service of the National Guard have denied using Grad rockets in Donetsk, a Human Rights Watch investigation on the ground strongly indicates that Ukrainian government forces were responsible for the attacks that occurred between July 12 and 21," HRW said.

Capitol computers have been barred from modifying Wikipedia for 10 days, due to "persistent disruptive editing." The legislative body was told by Wikipedia administrators that it is welcome to make "useful contributions" once the ban expires.

"You have been blocked from editing for a period of 10 days for persistent disruptive editing, as you did at Mediaite. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions," a Wikipedia message said.

"If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block," administrator Tom Morris told Congress on Thursday.

BBC Russian has come under fire from internet users after deleting its report on the MH17 crash for not meeting 'editorial values.' The reporter questioned says that local militia fired the missile, with locals talking about Ukrainian army planes.

The report on the Malaysian plane tragedy by BBC Russian correspondent Olga Ivshina was released on July 23. She interviewed local witnesses who told her that they saw military aircraft in the sky before the incident.

"And there was another aircraft, a military one, beside it [the Malaysian plane]. Everybody saw it," said one witness.

"It was flying under it [the Malaysian plane], we could see it. It was going underneath the civilian one," added another.

The report contained a soundbite of an SBU official, saying that the aircraft was shot down by a Buk missile.

Best of the Web: Anti-Russia Hysteria: Brainwashed sheep's obsession with "villain" Vladimir Putin

Several people who largely share my appraisal of the events in Ukraine and around Ukraine have sent me lots of incredible photographs and articles showing that the "mainstream" Western media got completely obsessed with Vladimir Putin.
Maria Putin
© UnknownThis 29-year-old lady was threatened by a mayor to be deported from Holland and finally she fled the country by herself – taking BF Jorrit Faasen, 34, with her. In the current hysteria, the sufficient reason is the following: she is Maria Putin, Putin's daughter.
It's enough to search Google News for Putin if you want to obtain a rather incredible collection of totally nutty titles and whole articles about Putin. Just some of the titles (I didn't really have to filter it much):
US General Dempsey: Putin May 'Light a Fire' He Can't Stop in Ukraine

Putin's voracious appetite is not sated

Putin's Pal [a nasty attack against Stephen Cohen]

The growing calls to strip Putin and Russia of the 2018 World Cup

Putin's Crime, Europe's Cowardice

Vladimir Putin is responsible for shooting down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. His next move will matter most of all.
I could go on and on and on, for hours. Vladimir Putin is perhaps the next Adolf Hitler, maybe Adolf Hitler on steroids. He must have personally shot the Dutch airplane down, too.

Comment: Currently there is a controversy going on about the identity of the woman in the above picture.
Mystery of Putin's daughter deepens after Russian embassy claims widely-used image of her with Kremlin leader is someone else

Whether she is Maria Putin or not, It is disheartening to see how western establishments goes after the family members of the politicians whom they want to take advantage of and use the same false flag tactics in the process.

Although Russia has not responded to US sanctions over the Ukraine crisis by putting a travel ban on President Barack Obama, there is one part of the country he is now barred from entering: Chechnya.

On Saturday Ramzan Kadyrov, the president of the small Russian republic that has been the scene of two devastating separatist wars in the past 20 years, said he was placing Obama on a list of people banned from visiting.

The list also includes European Union figures José Manuel Barroso, Herbert van Rompuy and Catherine Ashton.

Kadyrov, wrote on his Instagram account that the ban was in response to US and EU actions in Ukraine, Libya, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, which he called "state terrorism".

Victims' families used for propaganda? MH17 victim's credit cards used after crash, says report

The wife of a Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 victim was stunned when she saw that her husband's credit cards were being used after the plane crashed in Ukraine last week, the Daily Mail reported. Cameron Dalziel's wife Reine has since cancelled her husband's credit cards upon noticing activity in his account, her brother told CNN.

Cameron Dalziel's wife Reine has since cancelled her husband's credit cards upon noticing activity in his account, her brother told CNN.

Cameron was a South African travelling on a British passport, who had moved with his wife and two children to Malaysia recently.

The report said that the "heartless" rebels, who allegedly shot the plane down, had been using victims' credit cards, answering their phones and looting their belongings, including jewellery, from the crash site.

Reine's brother, Shane Hattingh, told CNN that, "People are abusing it in the Ukraine. They have no respect for each other, look what they're doing. It's no surprise that they were treating the remains of people like that. It made me angry beyond words".

This only added weight to reports that the pro-Russian rebels have looted the MH17 crash site to sabotage the investigation into the disaster and to cash in on it, the Daily Mail reported.

It was previously reported that relatives of victims of the crash had called their mobile phones only to have them picked up by people with "eastern European-sounding voices".

They then proceeded to instruct the mobile phone companies to shut down the accounts.

Comment: It's worth noting the reports of stolen cell phones and credit cards being used only came days after Kiev forces had access to the victims belongings, not before.

EU sanctions on Russia could cripple London

The EU plans to widen economic sanctions against Russia, but London, already on rocky ground with the EU, would be hit the hardest if tougher restrictions are slapped on Russia's big state banks.

If agreed, EU sanctions would apply to all Russian banks that are more than 50 percent state-owned. Sberbank, VTB, the country's two largest lenders, are both listed on the London Stock Exchange and have offices there.

If Russian banks get hit the ripples will be felt across the English Channel and in the heart of the world's financial center- the City of London.

Between 2004 and 2008, Russia's top two lenders raised $16.4 billion in floatations, and a ban would cost London hundreds of millions of pounds, The Times reports.

"The real question is, why is so much of the burden - even if it is not a massive one - falling on the UK? France and Germany might be talking tougher, but they do not quite seem to be following through with actions," Raoul Ruparel, a senior analyst at Open Europe, a think-tank, told The Times.

Israel takes 24-hour break from bombing Gaza as number massacred goes past 1,000

Over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed since Israel started its military operation in Gaza, officials said. As world leaders called for a full truce, Israel extended the humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza for 24 hours.

The ceasefire has been prolonged until Sunday at midnight, the country's cabinet said late Saturday . However, Israel warned that it will retaliate if Hamas fires rockets from Gaza territory.


Comment: ...which means Israel will do what it always does: have some of its agents fire some shells into a field across the perimeter fence, then declare the 'ceasefire' broken and resume massive aerial bombardment of residential areas. Or just simply announce that 'some rockets were fired at us', and provide no evidence whatsoever.


The Palestinian death toll from Israel's 19-day operation has reached 1,032 people, Gaza's Health Ministry told AFP.

Despite the 12-hour cease-fire between Hamas and Israel set for Saturday, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) has urged the Palestinians, who earlier left their homes in Gaza, to "refrain from returning."

"The IDF shall respond if terrorists choose to exploit this time to attack IDF personnel or fire at Israeli civilians," the military's spokesperson also said in a statement, adding that Israel will continue "the operational activities to locate and neutralize tunnels in the Gaza Strip" during the ceasefire.

Comment: Update July 27th:

As predicted, Israel has resumed massive aerial bombardment using the pretext that "rockets were fired from Gaza..."

Despite near-total pro-Israeli coverage, Israeli ambassador to Washington is 'outraged' that US media didn't cite IDF rationale for blowing up UN schools in Gaza

The Israeli ambassador to the United States is claiming that the "media is not connecting the dots" to Hamas following a story of 15 Palestinians killed when a United Nations school they sought shelter in was shelled.

Appearing on CNN Thursday evening, Ron Dermer chastised the network for not including in their coverage about how Hamas was using schools to hide rockets.

"It would be a disservice to your viewers for a reporter from Gaza not to mention that in the last week we had two different UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) schools where we had actually rockets found in the schools and handed over to Hamas," Dermer said.

He then added: "Do you not think that it's relevant to report on CNN that the secretary-general of the United Nations yesterday warned against the use of U.N. schools and shelter for rocket missile deposits of Hamas?"


Comment: Again we see the psychopathic trait of Israel blaming the victim for what they are responsible for. Only the truly blind can ignore the murderous and massively destructive force at the foundations of Zionism.
