⛪️In Ukraine, an Orthodox church was seized using tear gas

🇺🇦 Today in Ukraine, in Ivano-Frankovsk, supporters of the schismatic Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) seized the last church of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church in the city.

❗️The seizure was accompanied by violence from the OCU raiders, and tear gas was used against the clergy and parishioners in the temple.

☝️Since 2022, the Kiev regime has been actively persecuting the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, accusing it of having links with Russia. By order of President Zelensky, many Orthodox churches were searched by Ukrainian security forces and closed. At the same time, the schismatics themselves, who organize violence in churches, are not persecuted by the Ukrainian authorities.

Something I wrote back in October, translated into Russian for Riafan.

Журналист Ева Бартлетт: русские ведут себя не так, как «варварские» Соединенные Штаты

Независимый журналист из Канады Ева Бартлетт в своей колонке для ФАН осудила Украину за террористические акты на Крымском мосту и «Северных потоках». По ее убеждению, ВС РФ поступили правильно, когда ответили на провокации киевского режима массированным обстрелом критической инфраструктуры десятка городов Украины.

...and yet some would-be pundits (pro-Ukrainian & anti-Imperialist) claim Artemovsk (Bakhmut) isn't important 😬🙄😆

A severe dust storms hit Al-Rukban camp in the US occupied Al-Tanf area on the Syrian-Jordanian border.
Two refugees managed to escape from the Rukban camp to the territory controlled by the Syrian state and received medical care by the Syrian Red Crescent.

In 2019, I met & spoke with IDPs being evacuated from Rukban camp, having lived in hellish conditions. Western media blamed the Syrian govt (including blaming them for evacuating the refugees to safe havens where they were sheltered, fed & given medical care, go figure).

Those I spoke with blamed the US occupation forces & the proxy terrorists under their control for the suffering of civilians in Rukban...

Zionist Israel bombed #Damascus 1 hour ago...as it has also bombed Damascus last night at the same time...at 1:00 am.

Why? Because it seemingly can..and it will NOT stop until it gets BOMBED in return.

There is no reason on this EARTH that makes this ok.

I wrote this in 2021, & it is still relevant 🤬

Hopefully this will mean the resumption of regular access to running water for the DPR population.

*Ukraine repeatedly attacked water infrastructure, causing a serious situation of water rationing. Over the course of last year, I saw water flow go from being off for many hours a day, to being off constantly in most districts & people lining up with our empty jugs & containers to fill up from emergency services' water supply, using water sparingly...

@VanessaBeeley believes that the Biden administration is using Israel to target resistance forces in Syria that are fighting against the US military occupation.

​​🇺🇦NATO will drown Europe in blood because of Ukraine

🇵🇱📰 The Polish edition of the NDP stated that if the North Atlantic Alliance intervenes in the Ukrainian conflict, European countries will simply drown in blood.

💬 "It is already clear that the chances of the Ukrainian Fuhrer to win are decreasing every day due to the critical situation of the armed forces. Nothing will help the Kiev regime: neither the financial assistance of most countries, nor the supply of weapons. The reasons for this lie in the reduction of combat potential of the Ukrainian army: a high percentage of casualties among soldiers, an increase in the number of deserters, a shortage of weapons, as well as huge corruption in the Ukrainian government and in the Ukrainian armed forces," - says the NDP publication.

☝️Its author emphasizes that if the collective West decides on a full-scale confrontation between NATO and Russia, then catastrophic consequences await not only Europe, but the whole world.

Reminder:


"...on September 15, 1945, the US released a secret document which consisted in waging a coordinated nuclear attack directed against 66 major urban areas of the Soviet Union, which at the time was an ally of the US.

The War Department estimated that a total of 204 atomic bombs would be required to “Wipe the Soviet Union off the Map”.

The War Department had studied the destructive impact of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki


The military planners were talking about physical destruction rather than “death and destruction”. They failed to mention the impact of this diabolical and criminal undertaking on human life. Genocide is an understatement.

In Hiroshima, a 100,000 people died within the first seven seconds following and solely as a result of the explosion (without accounting for deaths resulting from radiation).

The War Department in its September 15, 1945 document referred to “the number of atomic bombings which should be available to insure our national security”. That number was 204 atomic bombs to be dropped on 66 cities. They had studied the impacts of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They were fully aware that “insuring their national security” would lead to millions of deaths.

The Cold War is a myth.

A US-led “hot war” against the Soviet Union was formulated at the height of World War II. For the US, the Cold War was a continuation of World War II.

The Manhattan project was launched in 1939, two years prior to America’s entry into World War II in December 1941. The Kremlin was fully aware of the secret Manhattan project as early as 1942.

The Manhattan project was largely directed at the Soviet Union.

The formulation of the secret September 15, 1945 document was preceded by an August 30, 1945 document which was dispatched by Major General Lauris Norstad to the head of the Manhattan Project General Leslie Groves

This document [outlined] “a total of 15 “key Soviet cities” to be struck with US atomic weapons, headed by the capital Moscow. This was followed by another 25 “leading Soviet cities” listed for annihilation, topping this latter group was Leningrad, almost destroyed during the Nazi siege finally lifted in late January 1944.”

The above nuclear plans were being composed three days before the Second World War had even officially concluded (on 2 September 1945), and a mere two weeks following Japan’s surrender.

The key documents to bomb 66 cities of the Soviet Union (15 September 1945) were finalized 5-6 weeks after the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings (6, 9 August 1945). The US Nuclear Attack against the USSR had been planned as early as 1942.

The 1945 documents confirm that the US was involved in the “planning of genocide” against the Soviet Union.

...Today, neither the September 1945 plan to blow up the Soviet Union nor the underlying cause of the nuclear arms race are acknowledged.

The Western media has largely focussed its attention on the Cold War US-USSR confrontation. The plan to annihilate the Soviet Union dating back to World War II and the infamous Manhattan project are not mentioned...."

The abbot of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra Metropolitan Pavel is being put an electronic bracelet on. He is accused of "stirring religious hate" and "justifying the Russian aggression".

A couple of days ago he announced that the monks of the Lavra will not leave the monastery. They are trying to sue the Kiev regime that is trying to evict them. This is what he's being punished for.

🇺🇦 Kiev authorities forcibly took children out of Artyomovsk

📝 “If parents refused to leave their hometown, their children were forcibly taken away,” says one of the mothers who survived the Ukrainian terror, Natalya Tkachenko.

The action was held under the auspices of the White Angel and Phoenix companies and was aimed at forcing the residents of Donbass to leave their cities so as not to be under Russian rule.

❗️ Residents of the city, who did not want to move deep into Ukraine, hid their children in other people's cold apartments. This went on for over two weeks during February, until the Ukrainian nationalists began a massive retreat from the city.

"On April 2 , military commander Maxim Yuryevich Fomin , known as Vladlen Tatarsky , was killed in an explosion in St. Petersburg.

Russian journalists are constantly experiencing threats of reprisals from the Kiev regime and its inspirers, which are increasingly being implemented. They are subjected to harassment, stigmatized in the literal sense with special markings on the digital platforms of American Internet monopolies, and arrange a "witch hunt" in the Western media. All this is happening with tacit disregard on the part of relevant international structures, which can no longer be interpreted as conciliation, if not complicity.

Not a single case of the violent death of a Russian journalist , which was assessed by the Kiev regime and its thugs as a “success”, neither Western countries, nor international organizations, nor foreign professional communities not only conducted investigations, but even showed elementary human sympathy .

...Today, the lack of reaction in the White House, Downing Street, the Elysee Palace, etc., given their alleged concern for the well-being of journalists and freedom of journalism, speaks for itself.

...It is thanks to the Russian military envoys that the world sees truthful and operational footage and learns information about what is happening in Ukraine. These are people who stand guard over the truth, which the world mainstream has already abused. The professional activities of Vladlen Tatarsky, his service to the Fatherland caused hatred in the Kyiv regime. He was dangerous for them, but boldly went to the end, doing his duty.

We express our sincere condolences to his family and friends."

"...In the last days of March and early April, the campaign to seize the pearl of Orthodoxy – the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra – waged by the current Kiev regime and the so-called Orthodox Church of Ukraine, a schismatic and non-canonical church controlled by current regime authorities, reached a decisive stage.

This move was long in the making.

On April 1 of this year, the abbot of the Holy Dormition Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, Metropolitan Paul, was put under house arrest, while neo-Nazi activists began to arrive at the monastery, mocking the divine services and attempts by the brethren and other people praying at the monastery to preserve the Lavra in the bosom of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

It speaks volumes that Zelensky and his regime would choose this exact moment to put pressure on the Lavra – the time of the Great Lent.

The Kiev-Pechersk Lavra is no ordinary monastery. It is the centre of canonical Orthodoxy, as well as one of the oldest Lavras of the ancient Russian state.

The Kiev regime has turned its religious policy into a tool for promoting its neo-Nazi practices.

It is an open secret that the Zelensky regime is in no way independent when it comes to its anti-ecclesiastic policies. Creating a schism within Orthodoxy and delivering a blow against this sphere of life has long been Washington’s stated goal.

Even for the current Kiev authorities seizing the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra is illegitimate in terms of law and immoral from a spiritual perspective. It demonstrates better than many other steps the regime has taken or its rhetoric its criminal nature and readiness to turn a blind eye to the feelings and, even more importantly, the rights of people, including Ukrainian citizens."

In contrast:


"Kherson Refugees Reject Western Media Claims of Russia "Kidnapping" Them

Western media claim up to 1.6 million refugees seeking safe haven in Russia were “kidnapped”.

According to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs as of September 9, 2022, Russia has nearly 4 million refugees from Ukraine.

Anyone following Ukraine's over eight years of war on the Donbass understands why people would seek refuge in Russia.

I went to refugee centres in Anapa, a southern Russia city and spoke with a number of refugees from Kherson.

Western media won't speak about those refugees, nor those I interviewed, fleeing Ukraine's shelling or due to the risk of being persecuted...."
