First: Thanks for all the response last time around. This fledgling site (Substack) is trying to get you the truth, and weaving through other sites, adding to what they're also giving you. So thanks again.
Gonzalo Lira
As always, there's more information than any one organisation can keep up with. But let's start today with two clips from Business Insider's Gonzalo Lira.
Gonzalo is currently in Kharkov. His bio is here.
https://www.businessinsider.com/author/gonzalo-lira
Gonzalo says he can tell you that you're being fed a pack of lies in the West because he's in Kharkov and he can hear the shelling getting closer every day.
Here's the first of two clips from Gonzalo. Here he's warning of an imminent false flag chemical attack.
"The Russians are slowly putting in the pieces to either overwhelm them or annihilate them."
(As we remember, Sam Waterston famously defined "annihilate" in the movie Miss Sloane as "reduce to nothing".)
"It's over in Ukraine. The Russians have won. And in Washington they're aware of this. And, because they're aware of it, they are panicking."
"[The Russians] have been holding back in case of NATO intervention."
The Puppets Who Lead Us
This is the second of the two clips from Gonzalo. This is a bit more philosophical in nature, but it's worth the time to view. He starts in with the always endearing AOC, them moves to professional comedian Zelensky, then finishes off with the Sleepy One himself.
"They keep [Zelensky] coked up to the gills all day long, like the end of Scarface."
"They're pushing for a war that cannot be won."
A substantial takeaway here is that it's pointless to look for a single Sauron or Darth behind it all. There are lots of Saurons and Darths - and they're constantly struggling with each other. Suddenly it becomes clear. Or at least clearer.
A Day of Mourning
You've probably seen pictures from Donetsk of late. Here are a few.
Donetsk was hit by what can only be described as a terrorist attack.
Google's GoFundWar
George Eliason has returned. People were a bit worried about him. George, like Gonzalo, are, so to speak, behind enemy lines.
But George is fine. (Knock on wood.) And he's published a new piece at CD Media.
"Ukraine opened up anonymous and crypto donors from over 50 countries to the possibility of facing arms dealer charges and war crimes investigations for their donations to Ukraine’s multitude of fake humanitarian charities", he writes at CD Media.
"The donations in question went to the support of Ukraine's Territorial Defense groups, i.e., funding neo-Nazis like Right Sector, Azov Battalion, Donbas Battalion, Aidar Battalion."

But things go deeper still. Following George's link to the "People's Project" reveals one particularly creepy element - "Я снайпер". (And there certainly are more.)

Note that these are all projects people can donate to, and note that the "diaspora" is intense, and many projects have met, or are close to meeting, their goals.
Scroll a bit down that page, however, and you'll see a YouTube link.
Note that the clip was uploaded on November 24, 2016 - almost six years ago.
Those are the Ukraine special forces. They currently have sixty-six (66) clips at Google/YouTube.

Out of the goodness of their hearts, the weepers in Diversity Valley want to ban everything even remotely Russian. But this is OK?
Amazon got into the game too, it seems, although, at time of writing, the link cannot be found.
George Eliason comments.
"Ukraine's 'Savelife' and 'ComeBackAlive' funds were started by former SCL Ukraine information operations team Ukraine Cyber Alliance. If you've followed my IO development articles over the last 7 years, this group's background began as 2016 Team Hillary Oppo-research team in Ukraine producing the Steele Dossier, Manafort Blackbook, and the basis for the Trump Russia saga. They are integral to the DNC hack story.
"For example, funds transferred for the Ukrainian army through Patreon give users the option to use pictures to clearly explain exactly what they donate to. For $4 per month for a cartridge, $19-a shell, and $49 per bomb. For the most expensive types of weapons, a tank and a corvette-you need to pay $299 and $999 per month, respectively."
George also cautions potential donors.
"My question to Conservatives is why would you allow the Clinton-Joe Biden people who subjected Donald Trump to impeachment after impeachment, went after his key people on false charges, and did everything possible to shipwreck his administration off the hook for ITAR and war crimes?
"Ukraine failed to tell these fine Brandon Democrats they needed weapons dealer licensing to donate legally."
He goes on to explain what "ITAR" is, and advises them that their donations - even through Bitcoin - are not as anonymous as they might think.
And the penalties are severe - up to ten years in prison.
The War on the Ground
The outcome of the "War on the Ground" has been a "given" from the beginning. As Gonzalo points out, the actual day when it gets very very real draws closer all the time. Here's the latest map from Readovka.
Russia has also responded with a sanctions list. The list is quite something.
Joe Biden, Anthony Blinken, Lloyd Austin, Mark Milley, William Burns, Jen Psaki, Hunter Biden, and... Hillary Clinton.
It's an "inevitable consequence of an extremely Russophobic policy adopted by the current US administration".
Andrei at The Saker writes:
"The big news of the day is that the Russian forces finally decided to, shall we say, change pace, and by all accounts the intensity of the artillery, aerial bombing, and missile barrage which hit the Ukie forces in the town of Avdeevka was absolutely unprecedented, and, following this barrage, the LDNR forces broke through 8 kilometers of just about the most heavily defended sectors in the entire theatre or operations. The Ukrainian 95th Airmobile Brigade (one of the most combat capable unit of the Ukrainian Army!) was defending this sector. According to reports, this entire brigade was basically wiped out."
"The 'message' here is clear: we strongly encourage you to lay down arms or else..."
Turn off your television sets. Watch game shows, or Lifetime Movies. If your news network, be it national or local, and be it in the West, wants to give you an "update" on the Ukraine...
