Short summary of the way the war in Novorossia is reported in Holland



Dear comrades,

The war in Novorossia sometimes disappears out of the news in Holland for days or even weeks. They do report the contacts between so-called world leaders about the situation and when the Kiev junta reports a victory somewhere that is carried too, making use of de propaganda put out by Kiev. Victories by the militia units are only reported when there are many casualties on the Kiev side. The policy is clearly to show the militias as the aggressor. This comes straight out of the American book. Civilian casualties caused by the Kiev fascists are never reported. No pictures, no film footage, no written reports. This side of the war does not exist, as far as the Dutch media is concerned. Civilian casualties in Gaza are reported on a regular basis, which is clear proof that the coverage of both conflicts is politically motivated.

Because of the way the media handle the war in Novorossia, the Dutch public knows very little about the true situation. The left wing organisations are silent, and only a few individuals are trying to show the true face of the war in Novorossia. The refugee aspect of the situation is also totally ignored. The figures given by the UN are sometimes reported, but without comment. The media are very careful to avoid reports which may create sympathy among the general public for the people in the south east. This is not surprising because the Dutch government follows the Americans and the Germans without hesitation. A policy of their own on these matters is not even considered.

What is also clear is that NATO is preparing for war. Day and night military planes can be heard over the centre of Holland. No one knows where they come from, or where they are going. But one thing is certain; they are all going east.

When new facts become available, there will be a new report.
