Larry Johnson of Sonar 21 recently posted that ‘until the West stops lying about Russia and Ukraine’ there will be no peace.
Can’t argue with that, really. But the point is how to stop the West lying? Which begs the question: ‘Where/what is the truth?’
There is not a place where the lies are listed and refuted and the truth told, think. I do not know of one.
So for want of better I’ll make this the place. Here and now.
Saying it as it comes to mind it all goes something like this:
Lie: Russia started this war.
Truth: Nope. The USA started it back in 1945 before the echoes of gunfire had even died away.
Lie: Russia made an unprovoked invasion.
Truth: Nope. Provocation was deliberate, long lasting (see above) and increasing in intensity.
Lie: Russia made an all out invasion.
Truth: Russia’s invasion was not remotely ‘all out’. To be a little unkind it could be described as laughable, even. (a) as a serious attempt to subjugate Ukraine it was pitiful in planning, execution, men, materials – everything. Laughably so. And at the time there was plenty of laughing in Kiev and Washington.
Or: (b) as a demonstration of Moscow’s ( or Putin’s) belief that the people of Ukraine were ready, willing and desirous of ‘saviour Russia’ to come help them from the pit of corruption, mismanagement and madness that Kiev (washington puppet) had them it was laughably wrong, as it turned out. Apparently.
Lie: Russia did the Bucha massacre
Truth: That itself was a typically laughable Ukrainian false flag with all the fingerprints of UK on it.
Lie: Donbas is invaded by Russia.
Truth: Donbas seceded after being mistreated and rejected by Kiev and fought for eight years alone and with Russia declining to help until eventually the Donbas federated with Russia and Russians came to help. Where they are willingly accepted. Donbas is invaded alright but not by Russia: by Kiev (which means: ‘By America’ )
Lie: Donbas citizens are ‘conquered’ etc.
Truth: No. Donbas citizens all own whatever they owned before Federation. They have their own homes, properties, businesses. They even have their own governments still. Federation means just that: you retain your own features and join as equal with others in the Federation. A Donbas citizen today enjoys far better rights and freedoms than a Kiev citizen.
Lie: Kiev is fighting an invasion.
Truth: No. ALL the fighting takes place within Donbas land that Kiev invaded in 2014. and within Russian land that Kiev invaded in ’24 (Kursk). The ‘invaders’ are the Kiev (us puppets) forces. The defenders are the Donbas forces and the Russians with them.
Lie: Russia seeks to conquer territory.
Truth: Russia has plenty of territory. It seeks only freedom from American oppression Russia happily signed agreements that would have left the Donbas states with Kiev. Kiev reneged on these agreements, didn’t want them.
Lie: Russia is losing militarily.
Truth: No. Even though all the fighting is still on land Kiev invaded, ‘took’ back in ’14 it was militarily strengthened massively for 10 years. The fighting since ’22 has been not against the Kiev armies but the Kiev armies supplies, succoured, trained, directed, encouraged by the 50 odd nations of American’s puppets. Kiev began with an army twice the size of Russia’s army. Russia has fought back against these long odds and turned the tables. Now they have the bigger army and the stronger and the better army. The make progress everywhere on a 1000km front. Alone and unassisted.
Lie: Russia’s military is no good.
Truth: Russia’s military WAS compromised. Inherited corruption, inefficiency, ineptitude, nepotism and sinecures were major problems Russia had to find, recognise and deal with.
Which they did. Are still doing. There has been a complete makeover in all respects with the Russian military. Complete. And a successful one.
I plan to add more. I just got a brain flash about just how many aspects there can be and its intimidating. Well consider: this thing has clear ramifications globally in all spheres from computer chips to shipping and on and on…. So I better slow down and think and organise a bit…
If you have any thoughts/contributions please submit them. If you know of a ‘real’ venue that makes this attempt of mine superfluous please tell. I’ll be happy to retire.
Meanwhile maybe also the beginnings of a list of worthwhile sources for information:
Findable on YT:

He has many guests of value such as:
Col. Larry Wilkerson

Sometimes the same names as with the Judge. But more:
