The controversy over the so-called Bucha 'massacre' has raised its head again with a report by the rather inelegantly named "International Public Tribunal on the the Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazi (sic)".
The report, entitled Heirs of Goebbels: falsification of the events in Bucha and bloody staged performances of the Kiev regime, claims that Bucha was a false flag operation that involved:
- Civilian and military bodies
- Bussing in the bodies of Ukrainian servicemen killed elsewhere
- Eyewitness accounts suggesting that events were staged for western media consumption
Now whether you believe this is Russian propaganda and the authors 'useful idiots' of Putin or not, there has been something fishy about the massacre from the start, especially the timing and the motive for Russian forces to kill all these people and leave them lying around.
The timing is suspect because the 'massacre' was discovered right around the time of the 2022 peace talks that the west eventually undermined and has resulted in far more people being killed than at Bucha.
The motivation is suspect because, according to the Russians, they pulled out of Bucha as a gesture to support the 2022 peace negotiations so leaving behind hundreds of easily discovered massacred civilians rather defeats the purpose of this gesture.
The bottom line is that no-one really knows where all these bodies came from except the Russians/Ukrainians who put them there - depending on your viewpoint.
It takes meticulous research to debunk these powerful 'massacre' narratives, like that done by Ivan Katchanovski to show that the 'heavenly hundred' from the Maidan 'massacre' included many unfortunate people shot by Ukrainian ultra-nationalists from the upper floors of nearby hotels.
Now whether you believe the Bucha 509 was orchestrated by the CIA or MI6, which is entirely possible, or not, if the report is to be believed then a lot of people in the 509 were nothing to do with Bucha and weren't civilians anyway and Ukrainian media event-staging was a way of life.
Read the report and make your own mind up.
