Sky News crew appears to be attacked in Kiev by (alleged) Ukrainian enforcers (population hostage takers) going under the cover of “Russian saboteurs”

In the previous FBEL article, there was an expression of doubt that any Mi7 agent – which is to say, a person in the employ of UK corporate-media – would still at this stage be in Kiev. Serendipitously, news has come in the intervening days that tends to support the supposition with the suggestion that flight might not necessarily be in the face of Russian advance, as one might assume, but from the danger of being exterminated by the very people who Mi7 are assigned to promote. Well, that could have been the be-all and end-all of the case, but now, with Mi7 agents, by definition, dallying with a new kind of criminality freshly defined these last few days in Moscow – one which involves the knowing production of lies involving Russia’s mission in Ukraine, and which is punishable with 15 years in prison – Russia’s police action now arguably extends to meting out justice to any of the Empire of Lies’ liars should they be discovered in Ukraine.  As such, if things were already too bad to remain in some parts of the country – in Kiev, for prime example – where there is an evident threat from Ukrainian headbanger-Nazi-type enforcers, now there is another kind of bad, albeit less lethal risk (as the BBC indicated it understood to be the case when it announced the end of its operations in Russia) involved in remaining in any part that is likely to see the Russians arrive in it.

The obvious question is begged: who would be an Mi7 agent in Ukraine at the moment? The answer (if one is not naïve) would be, no one that the UK military contingent that must be necessary to organise their being in place, and safe, decides shouldn’t be there – which means, if we appraise the risks of remaining, and if UK Government values its assets, no one.†

As for those risks, the one in which “journalists” get shot to death by their “own side” (because Mi7 doesn’t even bother to appear to be impartial) is the one that might come most as a surprise, although perhaps it shouldn’t. Putin recently described Ukrainian Government as a gaggle of drug addicts, and he wasn’t just name calling, according to reports of the berserker behaviour of what we might call an element, by many accounts praetorian in its relationship with the Ukrainian civilian government, let alone the military, that enforces a fight-to-the-last fanaticism at gun point – i.e. the infamous Nazi divisions.

The main Russian complaint against these maniacs is that they won’t let civilians through humanitarian corridors (the methodology for mitigating the infrastructural and human costs of war that was used, if not developed, by the Russians and Syrians when faced with towns in the liberation of Syria where the brand of nutbar of the hostage-taking extremist was takfiri). Here’s Putin, via Sputnik News:

[Russian troops] have provided corridors in all collision zones without exception, provided transport so that civilians, foreign citizens have the opportunity to go to a safe place [- something that] nationalists do not allow to be done.

What Putin is referring to is the hostage taking of entire populations, and the killing of any attempting escapee – because, how else would large amounts of people be made to remain and be used as a human shield unless compelled to do so on pain of death?

While there are many anecdotes appearing in ear-to-the-ground social and alternative media of people being murdered when they attempt to leave the jurisdiction of their killer captives, there are few satisfactorily documented accounts such as the one that appears in the Greek City Times – the Greeks have an interest because of the large contingent in Mariupol belonging to the same ethnicity:

With Russian forces besieging Mariupol, in which 120,000+ ethnic Greeks live, SKAI news spoke with a Mr Kiouranas who lives in the city and exposed that Ukrainian “fascists” are killing people for trying to leave the city.

When asked by SKAI news if he planned to leave the city, Kiouranas responded “how can I leave? When you try to leave you run the risk of running into a patrol of the Ukrainian fascists, the Azov Battalion.”

“They would kill me and are responsible for everything,” he added.

While one documented witness account needs the accompaniment of others to start to build a serious case, lest it be forgotten what kind of abusive, intimidating situation the people of towns like Mariupol and Kiev find themselves in, with no impartial authoritative-voice media ever being amongst them to tell of their plight (or, no media amongst them willing to tell). Ironic, then, if an Mi7 propaganda unit (nominally working for Sky) finds itself falling foul of the same kind of abuser in Kiev, where the ear-to-the-ground community tells of the development of scheme of things where “Russian saboteurs” are being blamed for the killings that serve as corrective example to the imprisoned population.

On Friday, 4th March, Sky News released a report from the agent Stuart Ramsay telling of an incident that happened to him and his television crew on Monday 28th February. Although the incident did take place on the fourth day after the commencement of the Russian “special operation”, plenty of coverage of the story on Friday by other corporate-media supplied the appearance of an event freshly occurred. Given that an admission that Ramsay was already back in the UK was tucked away at the very bottom of the Sky presentation, we could suspect the corporate-media of a coordinated effort to give the impression of a “journalist” still in the danger zone, when in fact he was not. Moreover, what we can certainly say is that Sky News delayed the reporting of a moment in the Russian approach to Kiev, with the upshot being that the Russian position outside Bucha (see map, which was supplied with the Ramsay piece), 18 miles (as stated by Ramsay [and roughly correct in actual fact]) from the capital, would appear to an audience, looking at what it thinks is up-to-date information and not taking much notice that it isn’t, to be the most current Russian position – and thus the Russians would appear to be retarded in their progress.

On the day of the incident in question, Ramsay and his crew set out for Bucha – and the author wants the reader to notice this – “30 kilometres or so from the centre of Kyiv, but our journey took us hours. Roads were closed and we were redirected countless times.”

The redirection was evidently done by Ukrainian Army at checkpoints, until such time Ramsay and his crew came to such a thing, and the guards there told them they couldn’t go any further. Please note, then reader, that Ramsay and crew travelled through territory in the control of Ukrainian forces until they could go no further towards Bucha.

The situation, however, was somehow different for the journey back:

The roads we had taken were now unsafe. Well, worse than that, really: they were instantaneously new front lines.

So, we decided to cut down to the western part of the city and re-enter from a different direction.

What is being said here is that the territory so safely held by Ukrainians began to look distinctly unsafe in a mere matter hours. Note it well, reader, because it is a device that supports a false allegation.

The story continues:

We stopped at a checkpoint and spoke to the soldiers and police, asking them if the road into Kyiv was passable.

A police officer walked to the car and handed us ice creams through the window, telling us we could turn left and go down the road to Kyiv – he said it was open.

We set off, but it was deadly quiet, and it’s fair to say we were concerned. But we travelled slowly forwards towards an intersection. There was rubble in the road, but that’s normal now. There were no soldiers, it all seemed deserted.

And then out of nowhere a small explosion and I saw something hit the car and a tyre burst. We rolled to a stop.

And then our world turned upside down.

The first round cracked the windscreen. Camera operator Richie Mockler huddled into the front passenger footwell. Then we were under full attack.

Ramsay and his crew were lucky in that a deep embankment was on the other side of the barrier from their vehicle, so that once they had escaped that, they were able to get safely from the area quite quickly. Escaping finally into a factory unit, a call was made to  “Sky staff members”. Ramsay continues (and reader, think about what you are being told):

We knew it would take hours and fully expected to spend the night in the workshop while the logistics were worked on. Extracting people from remote locations in the middle of a war that keeps moving is fiendishly difficult.

As it happens, “Ukrainian police” came in the night to collect Ramsay and company: all were sped away in a “police vehicle”. And then:

There was a long way to go, but we had been rescued. A day later, we made it back to the centre of Kyiv.

Although we are probably supposed to think that a day’s worth of detouring had to be made because the battlefield was so very fluid, the author suggests that actually Ramsay was not taken back to Kiev, and it took those many hours to get to wherever he was transported. Indeed, the very notion of the suddenly shifting battle landscape, whereby it was safe to go outwards along them (to see “volunteers… digging trenches, and the army… positioning Howitzer cannons for the defence of the capital”), but unsafe to come back on the self same roads only a few hours later, looks to be a nonsense – or else, how did police – with “flashing light[s]” no less – ever manage to penetrate into territory to come and get Ramsay and his people, and do it with more ease than expected. The author thinks that this is a tall story – supplemented with detail such as “outside [the factory unit], the sounds of the battle intensified” – to give the appearance of Russian proximity closer than it was so that culpability could be plausibly attributed to them for what Ramsay himself calls an ambush.

Now consider this, with emphasis added:

We didn’t know it at the time, but we were later told by the Ukrainians that we were being ambushed by a saboteur Russian reconnaissance squad. It was professional, the rounds kept smashing into the car – they didn’t miss… At this stage we thought it was a Ukrainian army checkpoint firing at us and that it was a mistake, so we started screaming we were journalists, but the rounds kept coming.

And go back and reread something, this time paying more attention:

A police officer walked to the car… telling us we could turn left and go down the road to Kyiv – he said it was open.. We set off… we travelled slowly forwards towards an intersection… And then out of nowhere… something hit the car and a tyre burst.

Now, did the reader notice how the Ukrainian policeman appears to have directed this Sky News team, all in their recognisable blue helmets and body armour with “Press” emblazoned on it, into an ambush?

And did the reader notice that the story of Russian saboteurs is hearsay by the Ukrainians, which Ramsay elected to report as the truth over and above his own impression that he was being shot at by the soldiers at the checkpoint?

All the clues, reader, point to these Mi7 agents having been attacked by Ukrainian enforcers, thus are we presented with, in the shape of this Mi7 report, the most detailed account yet that attests to the reality of these brute barbarians and their murderous practices.

On top of that, we’ve also learnt something new of the low cunning of Mi7 in that its agents posing as reporters in the field, in order to distort battlefield reality, will go to a place close to their enemy’s lines while they are still able and document its position in that area so that when the information is presented – and this is done much later – the old enemy disposition will appear to be its most current. On top of that, delaying the presentation of the material gives the appearance of the agents’ presences in the area being a current situation, when it isn’t necessarily the case. In this case, as insisted on before – and although they may in future be travel from safe locations (Poland) to give an appearance contrary to reality –  it’s pretty unlikely that there are any Mi7 staying permanently in Kiev, with an increasing improbability of any remaining in other parts of Ukraine that are in the path of what appears to be inevitable Russian progress.

 

 

† The Mi7 agent and nominal Sky “special correspondent”, Alex Crawford (of “fake” Green Square fame), claims to be on the outskirts of Irpin, west of Kiev, in a piece published today (5th March). Being sure to witness “elderly residents and young children… among those being evacuated from a frontline area after coming under intense shelling and bombardment from Vladimir Putin’s forces”, and describing smoke and noises of bombing far in the distance, there’s no indication [other than any claim Crawford might make in her to-camera dialogue] when the scene was recorded. Moreover, there’s no way of telling where Crawford was based to travel to this location – as is mentioned in the body of the article, Sky News crews will take long and convoluted ways to get where they want to be. Interestingly, the piece claims Irpin is 5 miles from Kiev (and Crawford looks to be observing Irpin from a mile or two away), while Google Maps tells of it being 15 miles from the centre of the capital. The author suspects that this indicates another case of delayed release of the material (the Russians were 15 miles away from Kiev when the piece was produced, and Sky could make it appear as if Crawford was on the ground on the weekend of Saturday 5th March if the Russians were said to be much closer in accordance with anticipation of their real progress). Indeed, consider this:

Crawford said: “There’s a large number of Ukrainian soldiers that we’ve seen, some who came out who said they come from Bucha where there is also shelling.”

The author suspects that the Crawford report was made at a time when the Russians were still on the approach to Bucha, as shown in the Ramsay piece map.

Update, 7th March: Black-Mi7 agent, Clive Myrie, is not, after all, as courageous as his comrades at the Ministry of Truth have been portraying him (although one can predict him being made a Black-Sir in future honours lists in order to cement the myth), and “flees Ukraine”, as reported by the Metro. Confirmed this morning as being in Romania, Myrie supposedly described his flight (on Sunday 6th) in real-time on Twitter, but for the reasons discussed in this work, the claim of a live progress report while in flight is not to be believed. Of course, the most significant aspect of the news can be appreciated by revisiting a sentence from the previous FBEL article (as linked to above): “The fact that Russians control the approaches to Kiev can be reduced to internet ‘crap’ if Clive Myrie and his Mi7 cohort can be seen to be operating without concern”. Evidently, the Russians do control the environs around Kiev.

    Caption attached to painted out mileage/kilometers/directions on the road sign in the film – “Directions on road signs are painted over to deter Russian forces” – in a 21st century battlefield with GPS and satellites? The Russians will know exactly where they are and how far away Kiev is from any position. It’s 2022 not 1942.

    In the film there is a small trickle of blood running from somewhere under Stuart’s helmet and down the right side of his nose. Please note that Stuart himself states he put his helmet on in the car. Stuart then falls down the embankment. He says this caused a cut to his face, but there wasn’t a cut on his face, it was up under his helmet (forehead region). The wound had to occur before he put his helmet on unless during the fall his helmet fell off. Someone then rips the side of Stuart’s body armour open to check that he’s ok yet they don’t bother to check his head wound? No-one has a first aid kit with them either. In a war zone at least one person should have a first aid kit on their person at all times. I wouldn’t go into a war zone without at least having some pressure bandages with me(something is better than nothing). As a reporter I’d want a medic with me before I went anywhere where pitched battles were occurring. It doesn’t seem to occur to any of them that any of them might get shot at? Funny that.
