    Default Video from American Journalist Patrick Lancaster Living in Donetsk

    First Western Journalist In Russia & DPR Controlled Volnovakha (Special Report)

    American journalist who's been living in Donetsk for the past 8 years. Speaks to some soldiers and locals. It's quite enlightening.
    (They are not thrilled to see an American. They are not fond of "Uncle Sam", understandably IMHO.)

    Yes, this is Patrick Lancaster, a former US military veteran turned journalist. He's quite extraordinarily courageous.

    Some of his reporting has been captured on the WW3 thread already and I've been saving some of this for the Avalon library in the event that his YT channel is ever pulled, although there are backup channels.

    This type of footage is dramatically different to the MSM's coverage of the so called invasion as they call it. All of the footage in the west is of apartment buildings supposedly bombed but there is never any footage of actual bombing or explosions. Contrast this invasion with Iraq. Remember the bombs everywhere. It's as if we're supposed to believe that their cameras only work when the bombing stops. It's all very suspicious. And perhaps you've seen that guy with his phone camera walking thru Kiev pretending to talk on the phone while actually filming what he refers to as a city simply in lockdown due to the curfew. Again, no evidence of any attacks; no bombing in the distance. No sound of fighter jets. Just the sound of the Kiev sirens in the evening when everyone is locked in their homes in order to scare the s**t out of the citizens. And I'm sure you've seen the photos of the pregnant woman fleeing a burning building with another photo of her from her acting profile. The whole "invasion" is not what it seems.

    The Fog of Information War in Ukraine by Pedro L. Gonzalez
    The Western intelligence apparatus has been busy in Ukraine. With financing and collaboration through various non-governmental organizations, it won the information war with the help of Ukrainian media before Russia ever fired a shot in February. Even the country’s newest publications, like the Kyiv Independent, have received support and funding from institutions associated with the Central Intelligence Agency.

    In most cases, these outlets have propagandized to the beat of the West’s war drums rather than inform the public.
    Since the Independent launched last November, it has amassed nearly two million Twitter followers and become a main artery of information in the war. Far from being objective, its writers tend to snap at those who contradict their narratives. Illia Ponomarenko, the Independent’s defense reporter, even declared himself “brothers in arms” with Azov Battalion, a unit known for committing war crimes against civilians in eastern Ukraine. According to journalist Michael Tracey, Ponomarenko amassed almost a million followers in less than two weeks.

    That kind of growth is hard and impressive. But the Independent also has some special connections.

    The publication has a growing subscriber base today, but according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, it was created with an “emergency grant from the European Endowment for Democracy,” a spinoff of the National Endowment for Democracy. What is the NED? On the surface, it’s an NGO that promotes civil society worldwide by, among other things, sponsoring and providing training for journalists and activists directly or indirectly. The reality, however, is different.

    Here’s ProPublica’s characterization: “The National Endowment for Democracy was established by Congress, in effect, to take over the CIA’s covert propaganda efforts. But, unlike the CIA, the NED promotes U.S. policy and interests openly.” The NED’s co-founder, Allen Weinstein, admitted as much. “A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA,” he said in an interview with the Washington Post entitled, “Innocence Abroad: The New World of Spyless Coups.”

    Fyi, Patrick Lancaster may be missing. He hasn't broadcast in three days, he was last embedded with Russian/DPR troops distributing food, medicines, etc.

    This person (tweet below) is a pro-Ukraine American "war tourist" maybe journalist there. She was pretty nasty and happy when Gonzalo Lira was missing, now more low key acknowledging Patrick's missing...



    Forgive the rude tweet under hers. She was quoting his tweet so it comes with the package...

    Anyway, prayers for Patrick would be good. I'll update if I learn anything.

    Update: Patrick tweeted today that he was ok. A close friend was killed fighting and he has been away dealing with that.

    I respect Patrick Lancaster a lot, he's the real thing

    He's so right and good at his life's purpose that he gets lots of hate, just like this

    https://www.grid.news/story/misinfor...from-missouri/
    Quote MISINFORMATION
    Russia’s favorite war propagandist is a Navy veteran from Missouri
    Putin’s invasion has catapulted Patrick Lancaster, who calls himself an independent journalist, into the limelight.

    Jason Paladino, Investigative Reporter, and Anya van Wagtendonk, Misinformation Reporter
    Lol, there is some ironic thing here, when some 'journalist' accuses the real one of being a propagandist while also having on his signature "Misinformation Reporter" lmao

    Read that article, it smells and it's so butt hurt, oh Jason Paladino, where did you lose the way?

    It was mentioned here on the forum before, that the eyes of Patrick look like if he may have PTSD or possibly some kind of autism or such, but no, i know that look. He's 'burned'

    There is a point sometime in a soldier's life, when you can't press the trigger anymore, you can't kill other person, you freeze and see them in their eyes and think/feel this "if i press the trigger, they will be dead in one minute, and then their eyes look back at you and you can see they know they are about to die and nothing can stop it, and that look, those eyes, are something terrible that you can't ever take away from your mind, it's just a sad look, it's like the entire universe is looking at you and then the air is so dense and there's something around that causes time to stop and you just can't press the trigger anymore"

    I have seen this before, the terror and the realization of what you are doing, it turns things around, people just becomes like kids once this realization comes through, they are unable to harm other people, they turn into who they were before all the madness came forward. Look into Patrick's eyes and you'll understand, he's just there

    PTSD? Very likely, but also you are "burned". That's your last day as a soldier, you won't be able to press that trigger anymore, ever

    That's the eyes of Patrick Lancaster, he would not be able to kill someone ever again, even if he had the gun on his hands

    And i don't blame him for that, i admire him for being there, in between the battle, and around guns, and yet been so strong that he doesn't feel like picking up a rifle and shoot back even if he is so close to the battle at most times

    That's tremendous and fearless, much much more than someone who picks up the gun and shoots back. Killing is easy, refraining from killing even to defend your own life? That's beyond
