Nor is there is anything in the following report that conclusively proves Russian involvement.<\/p>\n<p>However, as the old saying goes, if you repeat an allegation enough times, eventually some of the mud will stick.<\/p>\n<p>This works on the principle of learning by rote \u2013 when as with 9\/11 we were repetitively told that radical Muslims were responsible \u2013 we are now being constantly told that Russian was responsible for these attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, beyond Western media allegations, there is little to implicate Russia. So who could have carried out this atrocity?<\/p>\n<p>We would suggest that it was Ukraine&#8217;s neo-Nazis. Moreover, the only beneficiaries of this attack will be Ukraine\u2019s western backed government, which has repeatedly called for more military aid and has worked in close consort with the Ukrainian Nazis.<\/p>\n<p>And here it should be noted that the likes of the Azov Battalion have access to Ukraine\u2019s arsenal, which have many of the Tochka-U rockets that were used in the Kramatorsk strike. To add emphasis, whoever fired the missile scrawled in Russian on its side \u201cfor the children\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This will only add more weight to Ukraine\u2019s appeals for military assistance from the West. Is this why this &#8220;war crime&#8221; was carried out?<\/p>\n<p>Crucially, these questions are not being asked by the Western MSM. Instead, the western public is being fed a constant stream of reports that implicate Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Even the photo of the &#8220;Russian&#8221; missile outside Kramatorsk station is reminiscent of the wreckage of American Airlines Flight 77 outside the Pentagon. Now that doesn\u2019t mean I believe it was &#8216;staged&#8217;, just that the media\u2019s presentation of events echoes that of 9\/11.<\/p>\n<p>This all helps portray Russia as the \u201cbad guy\u201d in the collective Western consciousness. Just as 9\/11 was used to demonise \u201cMuslim extremists\u201d and launch a War on Terror\u201d, events in Ukraine are now being used to depict the Kremlin as \u201cwar criminals\u201d. Thereby subliminally preparing us for war with Russia. Ed.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Russia accused of \u2018monstrous\u2019 war crime in Kramatorsk station attack<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Luke Harding and Shaun Walker \u2013 The Guardian April 8, 2022<\/h3>\n<p>The Kremlin has been accused of carrying out a \u201cmonstrous\u201d war crime after a Russian ballistic missile hit a crowded train station in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk, killing at least 50 people including four children.<\/p>\n<p>The powerful Tochka-U rocket landed outside the main station building where 4,000 people were waiting to be evacuated on Friday. The authorities had urged residents to leave the region before a Russian military assault expected from next week.<\/p>\n<p>At least 87 people were wounded in the strike, said Pavlo Kyrylenko, the governor of Donetsk Oblast. Many lost limbs. Surgeons at the city\u2019s hospital were struggling to cope, with numerous patients in a critical condition, Kyrylenko said.<\/p>\n<p>He said Russia had used cluster munitions, and its goal was to \u201csow panic and fear\u201d and to kill as many civilians as possible. \u201cThe enemy knew that this is a city, that this is a crowd of people, this is a railway station,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine\u2019s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, angrily accused Moscow of \u201cmurderous deliberate slaughter\u201d and vowed: \u201cWe will bring each war criminal to justice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the scene, one woman, Natalia, said she heard a \u201cdouble explosion\u201d. She told AFP: \u201cI rushed to the wall for protection. I saw people covered in blood coming into the station and bodies everywhere on the ground. I don\u2019t know if they were injured or dead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another woman said she was looking for her husband. \u201cHe was here. I can\u2019t reach him,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/olliecarroll\/status\/1512367601929928704\">video shot in the seconds after the explosion<\/a> revealed a scene of horror. Bodies lay in the station entrance and between a row of outside seats. There were screams and cries for help. \u201cMy lord, so many corpses,\u201d one woman said.<\/p>\n<p>The dead lay next to their luggage, which had been packed for a journey that was meant to take them to the west of the country and to safety. A turquoise pram was abandoned, together with carry-on suitcases and travel pillows. Pools of blood stained the ground.<\/p>\n<p>In a post on his Telegram channel, Ukraine\u2019s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said \u201cRussian monsters\u201d were responsible for the carnage. He suggested it was part of a deliberate Russian strategy to destroy civilian targets, including hospitals and schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[They] have not abandoned their methods. Lacking the strength and courage to fight with us on the battlefield, they are cynically destroying the civilian population,\u201d Zelenskiy wrote, posting photos from the scene.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cThis is an evil that has no limits. And if it is not punished, it will never stop.\u201d He said no Ukrainian troops were at the station when it was hit.<\/p>\n<p>Boris Johnson said Russia\u2019s actions were \u201cunconscionable\u201d and a war crime. Speaking at a press conference with the German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, he said Moscow should declare a ceasefire and withdraw its troops. \u201cThe war has to stop immediately,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n<p>The giant missile landed on a patch of grass. Written on the side in large white Cyrillic letters were the words: \u201cFor [the] children\u201d \u2013 a grimly ironic Russian propaganda slogan given that four children died in the strike, as well as many parents.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2022\/apr\/08\/kramatorsk-train-station-ukraine-russia-rockets\">Continues \u2026<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Make no mistake; the media\u2019s presentation of events in Ukraine suggests that war with Russia is now very much on the agenda<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":251993,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[88,91,116],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-251991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-false-flag-attacks","category-russia","category-ukraine"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251991","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=251991"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251991\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":251998,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251991\/revisions\/251998"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/251993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=251991"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=251991"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=251991"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
