“REPEATING OLD AND DIRTY TRICKS”

Why should we not be surprised by what is happening in Ukraine?

By Sir Charlattam

It was late January 2005 and the Anglo-American Interim Administration administering the occupation of Iraq knew that it could not control the internal situation in the country and placing its puppets in power would not be easy, even if it controlled the elective apparatus. They needed to legitimise that process, but even more so, their military occupation.

Mortar attacks on rows of Baghdadi civilians waiting to vote became commonplace and the media did not hesitate to accuse “Islamist terrorism” of being the “insurgents”. In reality, there was a national resistance that lasted until the invaders left the country in 2011, but it was not the invaders who were murdering their compatriots. They were teams of assassins recruited before the invasion (many of them trained in Jordan) who became part of the new Mukhabarat directed and controlled in its early days by the CIA.

Today in Ukraine we are seeing similar tactics behind which there is no doubt that Anglo-Saxon and NATO advisors are behind. The executions in “Bucha”, too explicit and unnecessary for a Russian army that dominated the terrain, are part of a macabre strategy that seeks to place the full horror of the war on Moscow's shoulders. After the capture of several buildings under the control of the Azov Battalions in Mariupol (with French advisers), unspeakable aberrations were discovered in their basements, which could not be hidden by the Western media. Torture and rape of girls and teenagers by these extremists have been exposed after the DPR militias and Chechen groups took control and the inhabitants cooperate with them to expel the remaining remnants from the city. But for those of us who have been following events there, this is not the first time it has been seen.

At the start of all this, back in February 2014 when the Maidan coup took place, what the Western media painted as “demonstrations for freedom and democracy” were nothing more than a coordinated, CIA-led agitation that Under Secretary Victoria Nuland and US Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt never managed to disprove. Much less did subsequent administrations in Washington. This shows that this is not a formula of a particular government or party, it is a state policy.

The missile attack on the Kramatorsk train station is another chapter in this policy. According to media repeating the Ukrainian version, a Russian missile was deliberately fired into a crowd of civilians waiting to leave the capital. According to the Zelensky government's version, the attack was carried out with a “Tochka-U” missile with a cluster head, killing 30 civilians and injuring more than 100. On the face of it, a shocking and aberrant act designed to create outrage against Russia, but the Ukrainian reporters themselves missed certain details that betray otherwise.

According to these sources, a Russian “Tochka-U” missile fell on the Kramatorsk station, but this missile system has not been in service with the Russian military for some time. To be precise, in 2019. So, where did this missile come from? The explanation is not that complex. This tactical missile system known as “SS-21 Scaraba” is indeed operational in what remains of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) and it is even known that there are Western-made replica systems in existence that could be being introduced in the field.

Interestingly, a few days before the attack, intelligence sources claimed that Russia had reintroduced the “Tochka-U” missile system into service. The sources claimed that caravans of these mobile systems had been seen moving between the Belarusian towns of “Rechitsa” and “Gomel”, but the veracity of this allegation was not confirmed.

In fact, this is not the first time Ukrainian forces have used the “Tochka-U” against civilians. The attack just a week ago on 14 March in Donbass, where more than a dozen Russian-speaking civilians were killed, saw the Western media falsify the story by claiming it was the Russians. If one connects the dots, one can conclude that these are brutally desperate tactics by which Zelensky and his mafia do not intend to hold on to power. So, who is the butcher in this story?

When the Russian Defence Ministry denied this accusation and explained why it could not have been a missile attack, the disinformation and media that support Zelensky were in disarray. The inconsistencies that were revealed led many to ask how could this have happened? Warned of this and in a way of trying to save the mistake, they clumsily tried to change their version.

They went on to say that the attack was actually by an “Iskander” missile, which is part of the Russian surface-to-surface missile system, but once again, as if it were a tragic comedy, they contradicted themselves when they showed photos of the attack showing that pieces of the missiles left in the vicinity of the station were actually from the Ukrainian “Tochka-U” system. To the layman's eye it makes no difference, but not to the experts the details make a difference.

It is hard to believe that regular Ukrainian soldiers (serving their people) would have lent themselves to this dirty “Black-Op”, but no doubt special forces (with foreign mercenaries under NATO control) or ultra-nationalist militiamen loyal to “Pradvy Sektor” (also armed by NATO) would have had no problem sacrificing civilians as shields. They are playing on the media's impact on public opinion. They also know that if the city is emptied, Russian troops will crush them mercilessly as happened in Mariupol.
