(October 2023) Mike Jones [https://foreignagent.tv/] had me on yesterday. He wrote: Now banned from YouTube, Eva K Bartlett ( @Reality_Theories ) was kind enough to sit down with me and share her experience of living in Gaza. She describes the horrific conditions suffered by the Palestinian people and numerous war crimes perpetrated on a daily basis by Israel providing an educated and qualified perspective you'll likely not hear reported in the Western Media.

I spoke with prolific Canadian journalist and author Yves Engler about Canada's unconditional support to Israel, even, or especially, as Israel has slaughtered up to nearly 200, 000 Palestinians in Gaza (Lancet), or potentially double that number (Gilbert). Yves lays out Canada's long history of support to Israel, including during the ongoing Israeli genocide of Gaza, and including over 7 decades ago with Canadian pilots participating in the Zionists' ethnic cleansing of Palestine. He talks about Canada's arms to Israel, and providing components to the fighter planes which bomb Gaza now, and about the Canadians fighting in the Israeli army, and those being recruited by various charities and organizations in Canada. Important information you won't hear on legacy media. Yves is author of 13 books, and publishes at yvesengler.com & https://www.foreignpolicy.ca/articles?author=57f2952659cc6814c896c9fa He tweets at https://x.com/EnglerYves Some of his books: https://www.barakabooks.com/?post_type=dd-product&s=yves+engler My blog post with related links: https://ingaza.wordpress.com/2024/07/18/canadian-journalist-author-yves-enger-on-canadas-complity-in-israels-genocide-of-palestinians-in-gaza/

March 27, 2024 "In a conversation with Eva Bartlett, Brian Gerrish (UK Column) learns what takes a young woman from Canada to travel to explore the world. Bartlett (2007) paid for herself to go to the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (2008-2013) to understand what was really happening. Eva paid a price for her courage on the front lines: she suffered physical harm from Israeli soldiers & from illegal Jewish colonists; she endured arrest, shackling and custody by the Israeli police; and she experienced the trauma of being in the firing line when Israeli troops targeted live rounds against unarmed Palestinian protestors—a frequent occurrence. Eva visited Syria (2014-2021, 15 times), rather than relying on the reports of others while observing from a distance. Western media reports on the Syrian war were heavily distorted to meet what she clearly regards as a US-UK-NATO official line. In more recent years, Eva went to see and experience the reality of life in both the Crimea and in the Donbass. It was in the Donetsk environs that Eva was to understand the horrors of the Ukrainian shelling and rocket attacks that the Russian civilian population has endured for nearly a decade. She spoke with local families, she witnessed the destruction, and she filmed and reported the reality of the dead bodies and parts of bodies of those killed in recent attacks. Placing herself at risk on the front line of conflict zones, Eva Bartlett has then had to defend herself against vile and dangerous social media and related attacks. Abuse ranges from accusations of cowardice by armchair social media warriors to her being placed on Myrotvorets (‘Peacemaker’), the supposedly non-official Ukrainian death list Canadian state-aligned media (CBC), clearly intent on undermining her Donbas reporting in whatever manner they could, smeared her, drawing from the kill list entry...

On my last visit to Mariupol, one morning I walked ~15 minutes (if I didn't keep stopping to film) from the centre to the site of newly constructed apartment buildings. While doing so, I kept stopping every 5 or so metres to film renovations on the street I was walking on, so prevalent are the ongoing renovations. I would like to reiterate that rags like the Guardian which claim Mariupol was completely "destroyed" were/are lying through their teeth, as they did re Syria (where the Guardian rendered terrorists into fuzzy "rebels" and whitewashed al-Qaeda in Syria ( https://ingaza.wordpress.com/2018/01/06/how-the-mainstream-media-whitewashed-al-qaeda-and-the-white-helmets-in-syria/ )). They also do not mention the reason for what damage and destruction there was in Mariupol (In summary: Ukrainian troops, and Azov Nazis, occupying upper floors of apartment buildings and firing on Russian troops (and also on civilians). I'll be writing an article which will address some of the dirty tricks the Guardian used in an article (2023) I only recently came across, wherein they grossly distorted satellite images to fit their lying narrative that Mariupol was completely destroyed (as in levelled like the US actually did to Raqqa, or as Israel actually has been doing all over the Gaza Strip). For now, this clip, which includes some conversations I had with a woman who lived in Mariupol during 2022 (when Ukraine was severely bombarding Donetsk ( https://ingaza.wordpress.com/2022/08/10/what-ive-seen-of-ukraines-war-crimes-against-civilians-in-the-donbass-over-the-years/ ), where she was from), and her notes on changes in Mariupol that surprised even her.

Following my re-visits to Crimea ( https://t.me/Reality_Theories/18833 ) & Donbass ( https://t.me/Reality_Theories/19036 ), 🇷🇺 I've finally found the time to stitch together some of my footage from Mariupol! The city is brimming with life & construction. This short clip is a taste of what I saw in my recent visit, with a couple of clips from visits last year & late 2022. I'll be putting together more videos from my last visit—there is so much construction that's happened since I visited last year. I was astonished. For a city "destroyed" (as Western mouthpieces claim), Mariupol is pulsing with life.

I spoke recently with Nick of Revolutionary Blackout Network on a variety of issues, including the on the ground community-building work he is involved in, supporting Palestine—especially Palestinian Resistance, and why average people have been conditioned to hate places like the DPRK (North Korea).

In late April, survivors of Ukrainian bombing in Artyomovsk spoke to Christelle Néant (Donbass Insider (https://t.me/donbassinsider)) & myself about the horrors they endured on April 11, when Ukrainian forces deliberately blew up the ground floor of their apartment building, burying the civilians sheltering in the basement below. Seven of the seventeen civilians in that basement died almost immediately, including a seven year old child. These civilians spoke about how people known as "White Angels", Ukrainian military police, were actively seeking to abduct children, and were succeeding. “They were hunting our kids, and we were hiding them around the buildings.” Kiev openly announced they would be forcibly taking children, under the premise of providing security. They do so, according to the people we spoke with (and many other testimonies since) against the will of parents, without their consent. Kiev is doing precisely what it falsely-accused Russia of doing (https://t.me/Reality_Theories/10885): abducting children, without their parent's consent. My article on this, as well as longer testimonies from the Artyomovsk refugees, will be published soon.

In Moscow I spoke with Jeff Monson, a world-acclaimed American mixed martial arts fighter and political activist. Jeff travelled to the Lugansk People's Republic in 2016, and has returned to the LPR and neighbouring Donetsk People's Republic nearly a dozen times since, speaking with every day people about their lives under Ukraine's war on the Donbass. We spoke about his experiences in the Donbass and how they directly contradicted media claims, as well as his opening of dozens of sports schools in Russia and now in Donetsk. Monson, together with RT journalist Donald Courter, collaboratively-produced the independently-funded documentary “8 Years Before”, on the suffering that the people of the Donbass under Ukraine's 8+ years of bombings.

I spoke with Canadian researcher and writer,Tamara Lorincz, about Canada's militaristic foreign and defence policies, Canada's belligerent NATO role in bombing sovereign nations, Canada's role in fomenting the Maidan protests which preceded the (2014) illegal coup in Ukraine, and, among other things, Canada's support to Ukraine's war on the Donbass. Tamara has a Masters in International Politics and Security Studies and is currently working on her PhD. She has has long been very actively involved in various anti-war, peace & educational initiatives, with an emphasis in exposing the military’s impacts on the environment, Canadian defence and foreign policy, disarmament, & resistance to NATO, among many other things. See her bio here: https://www.balsillieschool.ca/people/tamara-lorincz/ Follow her: https://twitter.com/TamaraLorincz Conversation points: *Trudeau government & Canada's new defence policy: (June 2017) “Strong, Secure and Engaged”--a “militaristic, belligerent, posture on the world. Canada will spend $553 billion on military over next 20 years...Defence policy very informed by membership in NATO & partnership in NORAD.” *Canada's role in the illegal bombing of the former Yugoslavia (1999) *Canada's role in the US-led illegal occupation of Afghanistan (Canada has never been held accountable for war crimes committed in Afghanistan) *(2011) Canadian general led NATO's bombing of Libya, killing civilians & destroying civilian infrastructure *(2014-2016) Canada's illegal bombing, with US-led coalition, of Syria. *Under Harper government, FM Baird was on the ground fomenting the Maidan protests & illegal coup; under Trudeau and Freeland support for Ukraine continues.

When in the Donetsk People's Republic recently, I visited the Ilyich Iron and Steel Works plant, a sprawling Mariupol plant which was secured in mid-April last year, when over 1,150 Ukrainian Marines surrendered or were captured by Russian forces. Even now, sappers work to clear the vast plant which Ukrainian forces littered with left behind explosives, as well as boobytraps, tripwires and mines. Boobytrapping areas they fled from is something Ukrainian troops did elsewhere in Mariupol, including in apartment blocks. It's something terrorists in Syria likewise did, both with the intent of killing or maiming still more civilians, as well as soldiers—but given that such explosives were left in doorways and areas of homes civilians wouldn't think to be boobytrapped, these were particularly insidious acts of terrorism by both the Western-backed terrorists in Syria and the Western-backed Ukrainian forces and Nazi battalions in the Donbass. Also found at the plant were still more evidence of Ukraine's Nazi problem, paraphernalia from the Misanthropic Division & Azov Battalion, as well as US& Canadian Anti-sniper Fighting instructions, a US combat manual, and a UK Advanced Surveillance and Reconnaissance Course. Some were in both Ukrainian & in English.

During my last trip to Donetsk, over the Christmas & New Years holidays, I joined RT in some reporting. We filmed Artem Zhoga, commander of the Sparta Reconnaissance Battalion, on NY's eve: "What are we fighting against? We are fighting against injustice, against genocide—the genocide of the Russian-speaking population, the dissident population, those who do not think like the, nationalists, the Nazis—against this Russophobia that has formed in the Western world. Against the genocide of the civilian population, because there is no other way to call the enemy's firing on institutions such as the Kalinin hospital, schools, the city center, and the market district.There is no other way to call it, this is precisely the genocide of the civilian population."

*Warning: end of clip shows graphic images, civilians slaughtered by Ukraine last year.* On January 7th & 8th, Ukrainian forces shelled two Thermal Power Plants & a commercial building in areas around Donetsk, killing two people, all with western weapons. Ukraine's terrorism of 2022, and since 2014 in fact, continues into 2023, unsurprisingly. Just as unsurprisingly, Western media ignores or whitewashes it, and the West keeps absurdly pledging more weapons to Ukraine. Geopolitical analyst Brian Berletic routinely notes that the weapons/military aid the west supplies Ukraine is no where near what Ukraine needs to recover its losses, much less challenge Russia. And the West knows this, knows their weapons are being used instead to slaughter Donbass civilians and target infrastructure, and still they send it....

Footage from Kuibyshevsky district, northwestern Donetsk, yesterday, where two houses were destroyed by Ukrainian shelling (and two elderly women injured, thankfully not gravely), the latest consequences of Ukraine's relentless shelling of that residential district, the latest in Ukraine's over 8 years of war crimes against the people of the Donbass, Ukraine's genocide. One older man there who I interviewed asked me if I'll be honest, evidently aware of western media lies on the Donbass. 'It's not just yesterday, it's shelling here every day. It's thanks to Christmas today that God must be hearing us, so far this morning there has been no shelling.' Russian Investigative Committee inspectors determined the shell was a 155 mm shell, which NATO, not Russia, uses. Video is without additional commentary, the people & scenes speak for themselves.

Ukraine sent Donetsk a New Years gift, many actually, bombing the city centre around 4 am this morning. I haven't seen any updates on whether anyone was injured or killed, I hope not. I went out walking & filming a couple hours ago. These are some of the scenes around where Ukraine shelled.

I walked around the city tonight & had fun putting this short clip together. Happy New Year.

Western media claim up to 1.6 million refugees seeking safe haven in Russia were “kidnapped”. According to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs as of September 9, 2022, Russia has nearly 4 million refugees from Ukraine. Anyone following Ukraine's over eight years of war on the Donbass understands why people would seek refuge in Russia. I went to refugee centres in Anapa, a southern Russia city and spoke with a number of refugees from Kherson. Western media won't speak about those refugees, nor those I interviewed, fleeing Ukraine's shelling or due to the risk of being persecuted. By the way, unsurprisingly, Western media pulled this "kidnapped" stunt before. In 2019, Western media was *so concerned* about Syrian refugees from a camp in Syria's east, which Western media alleged were being held at gunpoint in refugee centres in Homs. After interviewing a number of such IDPs, I wrote a detailed article noting the deceptive media reporting on Rukban. [https://www.mintpressnews.com/voices-syria-rukban-refugee-camp-media-reporting/260197/] I emailed two different high level UN employees, whose replies contrasted the wild claims of Western media reports. They noted the UN had visited the shelters multiple times, “and has found the situation there adequate and in compliance with standards,” and that claims of refugees being shot or threatened were “unfounded”. So much that happens in the Donbass & Ukraine has happened in Syria, with Western corporate media again inverting reality and lauding terrorists, in order to manipulate public opinion in favour of NATO's wars.

On my last couple of visits to Donetsk, I went to an incredible dog shelter caring for over 800 dogs. I apologize for taking too long to put together & share footage I took, but better late than never. The shelter could really use support in order to buy food & things related to treating & caring for the dogs. *Note: I have no financial or other affiliation to the shelter, just really appreciate what they are doing ❤️ Follow the shelter here: https://t.me/pif_dn

First published here: https://youtu.be/Pg_AxQqqj0w "Addressing the EIR Symposium, "Peace On Earth, Or Humanity's Doom? The Case For Negotiations," Canadian journalist Eva Bartlett, who was granted the 2017 International Journalism Award by the Journalists’ Club of Mexico and has spent years doing on-the-ground reporting of wars in the Middle East, gave an eyewitness account of the ongoing genocide against the people of Donbass, where she has been reporting for the last year. Since 2014, she reported, 12,500 civilians have been killed by sniping and shelling with NATO weapons in both the Lugansk People’s Republic and Donetsk People’s Republic, with over 4,500 killed since mid-February of this year. Given that civilian areas are targeted, this shelling constitutes terrorism and war crimes. According to Bartlett, the Ukrainian military has also been saturating the Donbass with PFM-1 “petal” mines, insidious devices designed not to kill but to maim victims by blowing off their hands or feet. Children are particularly susceptible to these devices. She made the point that were Russia committing these crimes, it would be covered as a constant scandal by Western media. Bartlett ended her remarks by pointing to a flag of the Donetsk People’s Republic she proudly displays on the wall of her home, representing to her the resilience of a people shunned by most of the world and ridiculed as if their lives are meaningless. She expressed hope that the work she is doing will lead to Ukraine being held accountable for its war crimes and help allow people to speak openly about the fact that Ukraine is committing genocide."

“There is this element of madmen—some of the politicians, some of them military people, many of them in the US State Department, the CIA—who would be willing to do the most reckless and insane of actions to risk nuclear war or even to initiate it.” On December 16, I spoke with Senator Richard Black about Ukraine's long war against the civilians of the Donbass, Russia's Special Military Operation in Ukraine, and the Western warmongers behind it all and their drive for endless war. Senator Black has had an extensive military, legal and political career, serving in the US marines, and after obtaining his law degree, serving in the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps and head of the Army’sCriminal Law Divisionin the Pentagon. He served eight years in the Virginia State Senate. He is one of the few sane American voices loudly advocating for the end to Ukraine's genocide of the Donbass people, and for an end to the West's proxy war against Russia.
