This one starts with George and Vanessa. If you listen to it in its entirety, in one go or close to it, it'll rip you apart.
Both George Eliason and Vanessa Beeley are recipients of the Serena Shim Award for Uncompromised Integrity in Journalism. This is from 16 August this year. Vanessa hosts this one. George hosts another one with Vanessa.
George has been in Donbass a long time. He tells you a bit of his history here.
It's quite overwhelming. You'll find every last preconception you had about Ukraine shattered, completely.
George is on the ground in Donbass. He's been in the area for at least ten years. He's seen the country’s transformation from a remarkably peaceful society into what it is today. He was around when MH17 happened. He's gone out and met with the resistance, he's seen their passports, he's inspected their weapons.
(The newest weapon he found was from 1972, the oldest was from 1919. And no, there were no Russian troops, but he did find a group of Spanish freedom fighters.)
Everything you've been told about Ukraine? It’s a lie. A carefully planned, deliberate lie. That's how "they" do it.
Best of all, George explains how the transformation was achieved and who’s behind it. So you'll now understand its methodology.
Wait until George talks about the "Prometheus" groups. Just wait. The muslim brotherhood, the wahhabists, the zionists: they're all there, in Ukraine? Yes.
This is truly remarkable. At every impasse, just when you're about to think of an obvious question yourself, Vanessa pops in and asks the same question, often articulating with the same words you'd have used. It's spooky.
The whole thing is spooky, to be honest. You try to imagine living through that nightmare, just as George and his family have, and you try to imagine how you'd cope. It's dark, very dark. But it's informative and liberating. It feels so good, despite the horrific imagery, to finally arrive at the truth and know it.
Thank you, George and Vanessa. Thanks to both of you.
"The money keeps coming in forever."
From the blurb:
"Why is Zelensky shelling a nuclear plant? The war will end and money streams will dry up. If Ukraine sets off a nuclear explosion (three times that of Chernobyl) funding opportunities increase and are guaranteed for 100 years during cleanup operations. This is the thought behind the process: bankrupting EU and US while ensuring disappearance of Russians and Russian speakers in the region."
Hear Vanessa's praise for George at the end.
Bless them both.
More With Vanessa
Vanessa Beeley and John Pilger seem to have a lot in common. Cut from the same cloth. They have the same dedication for getting at the truth.
Vanessa has a Substack now. What's immediately apparent with everything there is the quality of her writing and the quality of her journalism.
Let's take a look at a few of her pieces.
Journalists who challenge NATO narratives are now 'information terrorists'
Yes, this is bad.
This tells the story of how the government of the US is fomenting vicious sadistic Nazism in Ukraine.
“It goes without saying that the crushing of dissent is essential for public support for NATO's proxy war in Ukraine to be maintained. Russian media has already been wiped from the Western-controlled Internet sphere. Ukrainian 'kill lists' such as the infamous Myrotvorets already include the courageous Canadian independent journalist Eva Bartlett and outspoken Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters.”
(Speaking of which: isn't it ironic that "Mensch" is actually the German word for "human being"?)
Alina Lipp, Eva Bartlett, Graham Phillips: all on the infamous Nazi "kill lists". Their governments, their representatives like Baerbock and Truss, only join in on the persecution.
“Who determines who should be put on the list? Who determines their fate? What justice? In a country like Ukraine seeped in corruption - where executions or the disappearance of dissidents and political or media opposition is a regular occurrence - who is to be made accountable for action taken against those listed on the 'Orc hit list'? This is lawless justice that falls under the umbrella of US 'rules based global governance' - comply or die and newly furnished legislation will make your death or state-sanctioned assassination a legal one.”
EU parliamentarian calls to sanction Vanessa Beeley and all observers of Donbass referendums
Another incredible one. Vanessa traveled up from Damascus to be an observer at the recent Donbass referendums, as had functionaries and politicians from several countries - even the ANC. Yet this personal friend of Macron is now trying to use her political clout with Josep Borrell to get Vanessa and all the other election observers sanctioned - for simply observing an election.
So you know there's more at stake than they're letting on.
My report from Donetsk referendum on UK Column News
"Under a constant barrage of Ukrainian shells being intercepted overhead by Donbass Air Defence we managed to observe the referendum in sectors of Donetsk including the city of Donetsk and Makeevka school which has regularly been targeted by the NATO proxy forces. On the 30th September I reported on UK Column News with Mike Robinson and Patrick Henningsen."
Vanessa is extraordinary. Learn from her and support her any way you can. Above all: share the links. Either to this piece or, better still, to Vanessa's Substack as well.
Scott Ritter has just hypothesised that Vladimir Putin outwitted the hawks of Washington once again. Let's all hope so. Let's all hope that 30 September actually means something and that life can "return to normal" soon.
Take care.
