SOTT EXCLUSIVE: Mainstream media carries lies of Russian invasion yet the U.S. and NATO see no evidence of that

The mainstream media is again parroting the lies coming out of Kiev. A google search (keyword in Google news: Ukraine) on Ukraine will have the BBC, The Independent, The Guardian, The Telegraph, Sky News, Newsweek and the Business Insider having headlines of a Russian invasion. Yes, I know: Again. Here are some of the headlines:

crisis: Tanks 'cross border' from Russia

A column of 32 tanks and 30 trucks has crossed into eastern Ukraine from Russia, the Ukrainian government says.

The trucks were carrying ammunition and fighters, said a military spokesman, but the BBC cannot confirm his report.

Russia Sends Dozens Of Tanks Into

NATO has criticised Russian "aggression" after a column of 32 Russian tanks entered Ukraine.

The convoy of 32 tanks, 16 howitzer cannons and 30 trucks of troops and equipment crossed the border into the rebel-controlled Luhansk region.

Ukraine's military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said in a televised briefing: "The deployment continues of military equipment and Russian mercenaries to the front lines."

crisis: Movement of Russian tanks threatens fragile

Ukraine's President, Petro Poroshenko, has said that his nation's conflict with Russia was "escalating" after a column of 32 tanks, 30 lorries and 16 heavy artillery pieces was reported to have entered the separatist-controlled eastern region of Luhansk.

A Nato military officer told Reuters he had seen an increase in Russian troops and equipment along the Ukraine border, and was investigating the report of tanks entering the breakaway region.

Russian Tanks Are Rolling Into Again ...

The above newspapers with such headlines are in no way limited to the UK and the US as searches in other Western countries will show. They all happily quote the Ukrainian government of saying that Russia has invaded with dozens of tanks. The soundbytes are the same and the message is clear: Russia is invading and threatening the ceasefire.

But is it true? As it happens the US and NATO are actually not that sure and have the following to say;

Both Pentagon and NATO are aware of a "Russian invasion" rumor produced by Kiev official, but said they have no evidence to back it , instead claiming that Russia again boosted military presence along the border in yet another potentially threatening move.

On Friday a spokesman for Ukraine's National Security Council, Andrey Lysenko, has announced that Russia has sent 32 tanks, 16 howitzers, 30 trucks of ammunition and three trucks with radar equipment to rebel-held areas - offering no evidence of his claim.

After the news made headlines in the western media, NATO rushed to reassure the press that the alliance was aware and which if confirmed

Speaking to journalists, Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby also could not confirm the reports.

Kirby said.

So the whole Western mass media is into hysterics of an invasion, and yet the US and NATO have no evidence of a Russian invasion.The US and NATO would love to have real evidence but are perhaps a little careful about putting themselves on the line, after the exposure that the last Russian invasion proof that they presented to the press was a line of harvesters doing what wheat harvester do at the end of summer: namely harvestiing wheat.

It could also well be that they didn't see the need to lie again as the presstitutes of the Western world had already done their job of spreading the lies. Somehow they never retract these lies and the lies serve the anti-Russian propaganda that consists of lie after lie with the end result that the Western public sees Russia as an aggressor and a bully, instead of the truth which is the complete opposite.

Again, one despairs at the prostitution of Western journalists if indeed one can call them that. One key feature in the craft of journalism is sources and source reliability. If one discovers that one source presents lies, then one should be very wary about using such a source in the future and put qualifiers in the text to warn that this source is not very reliable. The Ukrainian government has over and over been presenting lies about what is going on in Ukraine and yet they are quoted as the truth. The headlines say it all and are often the only bit that is read.

The real Russian invasion

Yes, Russia has invaded Novorossia. They have now had 6 humanitarian aid convoy to Novorossia, bringing food, clothes, electricity generators and much more of what the civilian population is going to need in the winter ahead. Here the Western media has been completely quiet, apart from the first humanitarian convoy, where they labelled it an invasion and accused Russia of escalating the situation etc. Since then they have just kept quiet.

But Russia has shown a heart towards these people, that the Ukrainian government has completely cut off, even though they claim to want those regions to stay in Ukraine. Shelling civilian infrastructure, housing estates, schools and hospitals, is a very strange way of winning hearts and minds, but it was the same tactic used by their handlers in Afghanistan and with the same result.

Russia has shown a heart and compassion for the people of Novorossia who are being cruelly hunted by what used to be their own government, simply for not wanting to subject themselves to the rules of a coup government, who had overthrown the democratically elected president. Regarding Russia having a heart, it is interesting what Putin had to say about the meaning of life in an interview yersterday:

Putin told his audience at the 15th Congress of the Russian Geographical Society.

This is a very foreign concept for the Empire of chaos that rules through violence, fear and oppression.

I'm particularly interested in 'following the money' to track the machinations of the deceptive ones in high places. I suppose you could say I've taken my chosen profession to a new level, and now with SOTT I'm "inspecting the flows" of people and money in more ways than one.
