BBC - Is it worth the licence fee?

Follow @JohnPlatinumG What has been going on in Ukraine over the last week has been terrible for the poor people of the Donbass region. There is no water in some of the cities and many women and children have fled across the Russian border to refugee camps there. Ukrainians were not involved in a civil war with one another when Yanukovich was President. Since Yatsenyuk and the two right-wing parties of Right Sector and Svoboda there have been so many deaths like those in Odessa, and now in the Donbass Oblast'.

The BBC has been worse than sinful in its omission of reporting this news. My colleague, Professor Marcello Ferrada de Noli, a human rights’ activist living in Sweden, who was himself imprisoned under Pinochet’s dictatorship in Chile, depicts the stark reality of what has not been reported on any mainstream media channel. WARNING: There are images in this blog which are not for the squeamish. The BBC, as ever, is as disgusting as it was during the Iraq war. What do we pay our licence fees for?

None of this has been reported. My information is that the lady who was a victim of Yatsenyuk's air strikes who is talking to rescuers in the third video died in hospital. Her name I believe was Inna. What abject cruelty! We are the only animals who delight in killing for killing's sake.

Willy Wonka and the hidden bullets

Follow @JohnPlatinumG Willy Wonka (Petro Poroshenko) is an international chocolate and candy manufacturer. It would appear he does not like children, but they are his main source of income. He does not like people in general but in the killing fields of the Ivory Coast slave children die regularly to supply the raw materials for his chocolate empire. As a media magnate too he can distribute lies as easily as if they were chocolate bars. As well as his business empires he is now President of a country torn apart by his western masters. Yesterday his troops attacked a school in Slavyansk.

Children are being traumatised today in Eastern Ukraine much as they were, and still are in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, the Balkans, Vietnam, Korea, in fact every one of the 360 post Second World War incursions the US has spearheaded. What these nightmare attacks mean long-term for children's psychological development can only be imagined. This is the view from someone on the ground.

“It’s terrifying for children” said Anna a 30 year old teacher from Slavyansk. Nights, when they jump out of bed from an explosion stick in their minds for life. It is very complicated to explain who is shooting, and why. See, for children everything is simple: they shoot the enemy. My 10 year old son asked: “Momma, but why has the enemy got a Ukrainian flag with BTP on it? I try to explain that it is not the enemy, but the Ukrainian Army. But the child does not calm down: “Then why are they shooting at us.” How do you explain to a child what is going on?

Note: BTP (Общество с ограниченной ответственностью “БТП”) Society with Limited Responsibility. I suppose all military units could be so described.

Perhaps Willy Wonka would like to answer how you explain to a child why his own government troops are attacking Ukrainians. A bar of chocolate is not the answer. This is Willy Wonka's brand Roshen. He also owns Bonbonetti and perhaps quite a few other brands. They all look good. Children need to be aware that they may contain hidden bullets.
