Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets.
This is the first Russian sourced media to deal with the alleged rapes in Bucha I have yet to see.
On May 31, 2022, the Verkhovna Rada dismissed Lyudmila Denisova from the post of Commissioner for Human Rights, Ombudsman her fairy tales began to appear about alleged rapes by the Russian military. Here is a video that does a great job on this topic.
The prosecutor of the Buchansky district also does not know what cellars where women were allegedly raped, in question. The Ukrainian police also failed to point out the places where this happened.
To date, the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine has NOT A SINGLE CONFIRMED CASE of rape by the Russian military of anyone or even anything on the entire territory of Ukraine. About this at 20:50 Anatoly's video. Here is such a "Ukrainian" truth ". Probably Denisova realized all her secret fantasies in this way ...
The Russian media show the basements, and the corpses of people tortured by the Nazis, raped and murdered Ukrainian women, who were left by the Armed Forces of Ukraine after the defeat of their checkpoints or a murdered woman at the positions of the "Azov" with a swastika on her body (two weeks later, the Ukrainian media spread a fake, this is supposedly a victim of Russian Gostomel).
And the Nazis cannot even show one of those allegedly raped by the Russians, but they cannot name the survivors, nor the names of the dead, although they know in detail how the rape allegedly took place and exactly what words were spoken and in what order. And the population believes, because when everyone speaks, they speak from every iron, and they inspire something from childhood, it's hard not to believe.
Okay, there were ideas about young women. But 80-year-olds, men, 6-month-old children, I cannot understand how such a thing can even come to mind? And those who replicated this without checking - it turns out that they really believe that this is possible ?! That game was quite actively picked up by the Western media, claiming to be serious, without making the slightest attempt to verify it. This proves that in order to create an active media background, the main thing is to give out something terrible loudly and "in all details" and expect a quick response from everyone who expects something terrible.
Ukrainians believe in these fakes, even smart, sensible people in the past. Inability to analyze, double-check, get to the bottom of the truth. This is characteristic only of the peoples of the Middle Ages.
I noticed that the current Svidomo Ukrainians have such a feature, a distinctive feature, so to speak. What is not a protest, then naked ass and boobs are out for everyone to show, panties in paint, etc., If it’s a crime, then without rape it’s nowhere, they rape everyone: grandmothers, children, chickens, goats cats ... Looks like it's a clinic! The worst thing is that it still needs to be invented, and someone came up with their inflamed brain. And perhaps even worse that these are partly real stories, the actions of their own national battalions, which I won’t be surprised at all.
Now Denisova has left, but she has done her “work”. But the Ukrainians believe. The most painful thing is children and the elderly, which is why she emphasized this. Well, what, the whole of Germany believed the same Goebbels. The lesson for Russia is not to go where you went.
I wonder if she just got fired? And why didn’t they force them to undergo a psychiatric examination ..... this is a kapets, a hidden maniac in a skirt with a complete schizoid set ... she can be dangerous to society ... She was the main "person" for human rights in Ukraine !!!! What a mental trauma it inflicted on the people of Ukraine!!! And all these half-crazy patriots who turned the people of Ukraine into cannon fodder. Exposing him to public disgrace. Any normal person today has a definite opinion about the Ukrainian people, as a bunch of absolute inadequates.
ANECDOTE IN THE TOPIC
At the reception, the psychiatrist shows the Denisov sheet, on which a triangle is drawn, and asks to tell about what she sees in the picture.
- Well, it's quite simple, doctor! Denisova answers. This is a house where two people make love.
- Hm. Interesting. And what's that? - asks the doctor, showing the square.
- And this is a bed on which two people make love.
- Very interesting. What do you think this is? - the doctor is interested and draws a circle on the sheet.
- And this is a pool in which two people make love.
- Well, what is it? - the doctor shows a sheet with the image of a zigzag.
- Doctor! Yes, you are just a sex maniac!
Proof that Svidomo schizophrenia does not depend on nationality, but is simply contagious
Denisova was born and raised in Arkhangelsk, back in the Brezhnev era she graduated from the Arkhangelsk Pedagogical School with a degree in kindergarten teacher, later she graduated from the law faculty of the Leningrad Order of Lenin and the Order of the Red Banner of Labor State University named after A. A. Zhdanov (because from childhood she dreamed of becoming prosecutor), worked as head of the office of the Arkhangelsk Regional Court.
In 1989 she moved to Simferopol, worked in the Crimean regional committee of the Komsomol of the Ukrainian SSR. After 1991, she held various positions in the Crimean Republican Department of the Pension Fund of Ukraine, since 1993 she was the head of the PFU department. Scrolled through social payments in commercial and banking operations, stole money through netting systems. In May 1998 she was appointed Minister of Economy of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, in July 1998 - Minister of Finance of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
Delightedly withdrew budget funds to offshore firms, mutually helped shady companies to evade taxes. In 2000, the prosecutor's office detained an official for abuse of office. Soon the case was closed thanks to the strong friendship of Lyudmila Leontievna with a criminal businessman, former 2nd secretary of the Crimean regional committee of the Komsomol Andrei Senchenko (closely associated with the son-in-law of the then President Leonid Kuchma, the Jewish oligarch Viktor Pinchuk and the first chairman of the SBU, ex-premier, curator of the Ukronazis, arms baron Yevgeny Marchuk). Kuchma himself stood up for Denisova.
Later, together with her patron Senchenko, she got into the team of Yulia Tymoshenko, became her friend, took a post in the pro-Western nationalist All-Ukrainian association "Batkivshchyna"
AND INSTEAD OF A RESUME
At the end of the 16th - beginning of the 17th centuries, the tactics of linear combat was born, in the process of reforms, young drummers and flute players began to be placed in the first line, next to the officers, their role was simple, they set the rhythm and helped to rebuild during the battle, according to the military Traditionally, musicians went into battle unarmed and were inviolable on the battlefield, but their death in battle aroused rage and raised the morale of the entire battalion.
Pani Denisova, most likely, wanted to kindle the animal instinct of the Ukrainian subjects, so that they would sign up as volunteers and go to the front, and therefore inserted information about raped children, girls and grandmothers wherever she could.
In general, if she [Denisova] had studied well, she should have known that for such actions, soldiers and officers who tarnished the honor of the “Russian uniform” in the Tsarist army were subjected to corporal punishment or execution, in the Soviet (during the Second World War) execution, in the Russian - criminal punishment. Therefore, Mrs. Denisova, do not confuse the Russian soldier with the Ukrainian Nazi. Tell us, better, about the atrocities of the national battalions in the Donbass.
Peace and goodness to all!
Denisova fucked up so bad she got Russia and Ukraine to agree on something: that Denisova lied about the alleged rapes in Bucha.
[Korrespondent] "Servants" at a meeting of the faction decided to dismiss Lyudmila Denisov
Members of the Servant of the People faction unanimously decided to initiate the expression of no confidence in Lyudmila Denisova and her dismissal from the post of commissioner.
Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Lyudmila Denisova, since the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine, has been improperly fulfilling her duties after the start of the full-scale Russian invasion. This was announced on Tuesday, May 31, by the People's Deputy from the Servant of the People Pavel Frolov on Facebook following a meeting of the faction.
According to the parliamentarian, at the meeting, the members of the faction unanimously decided to initiate the expression of no confidence in Denisova and her dismissal from the post of commissioner. This requires 113 votes of people's deputies without following the procedures of special laws on the status of such persons.
Frolov also named the claims that the servants had against Ombudsman Denisova.
"Unfortunately, since the beginning of the war and the great suffering of Ukrainians, Mrs. Denisova has hardly fulfilled her powers to organize humanitarian corridors, protect and exchange prisoners, counteract the deportation of people and children from the occupied territories, and other human rights activities. All these issues were actually forced to be done by Irina Vereshchuk ", - said the people's deputy.
He also believes that her "incomprehensible concentration" on the sexual crimes of Denisov invaders only "harmed Ukraine."
"The incomprehensible concentration of the Ombudsman's media work on numerous details of "sexual crimes committed in an unnatural way" and "child rape" in the occupied territories, which he could not confirm with evidence, only harmed Ukraine and diverted the attention of the world media from the real needs of Ukraine," Frolov wrote. Not only did not confirm: local Ukrainian police officials could not identify the location where the crimes took place, and the alleged victims
The people’s deputy expressed his claim that Denisova spent a long time abroad after February 24, but “not in Russia or Belarus, where her status and powers could help the prisoners, deportees and residents of the Kherson region suffering from occupation, but in Davos, Vienna, Warsaw and other warm calm western countries of Europe".
Pavel Frolov added that already today, May 31, Denisova could be dismissed from her post.
The day before, the media reported that signatures were being collected in parliament for the dismissal of Lyudmila Denisova. At the same time, four possible candidates for the position of Ombudsman were named.
And today it became known that the necessary number of signatures for the dismissal of the Ombudsman has already been collected.
[REGNUM] On May 31, local media write about the dismissal of the Ukrainian Commissioner for Human Rights Lyudmila Denisova .
It is noted that she lost her place for unprofessionalism. So, Denisova almost daily accused the Russian military of raping Ukrainians, while not providing evidence.
Commenting on this news, journalist Vladimir Kornilov wrote the following on his Telegram channel:
“Wait, but all her sexual fantasies are exactly the same, word for word, then [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky voiced on all international platforms! So why not immediately fire him for the same thing?
[AmericanThinker] Should China occupy Taiwan, it would control a majority of the world's microchip manufacturing production. But China needn't invade Taiwan to bring America to its knees — simply reducing urea and other existing Chinese exports is already wreaking havoc. Agricultural fertilizer prices have nearly doubled in the past year, and shrinking supplies of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) now threaten America's transportation system. The impact of urea supply shortages on food inflation will be compounded by distribution failures if additional DEF resources are not procured immediately.
DEF is an emissions control liquid required by the EPA in diesel engines manufactured after 2010 as an "aftertreatment technology" to reduce vehicle emissions. This additive is required for most modern diesel truck fleets. Without it, many trucks cannot exceed five miles per hour in speed, or even be started. Truckers are now reporting increasing DEF shortages around the nation.
EPA mandates for DEF in diesel engines were not matched by increases in DEF production, and China cut back DEF manufacturing last year, leading to the current threat:
#3
The DEF shortage started appearing in January in Australia and South Korea (pre-Ukraine in other words) as a consequence of Chinas reluctance to export urea. The ratios are all over the map depending on engine design but it’s anywhere fro a 50:1 to a 200:1 diesel:DEF mix. Pre shortage the cost was $3+/gallon. Candidly this looks like the long pole in the tent for the developed worlds logistics system. If this takes 15%+ minimum of the existing truck fleet off the road (and tractors out of the field). It’ll wreak chaos. Interestingly, countries that didn’t buy into this environmentally friendly solution will experience less domestic turmoil.
#4
The simplest solution is to shut down the EPA and any obstruction enforcement elements for 4 years. Let's see if somehow we'll all be here then without them.
#5
There are some stories that Al the blimp Gore is the guy who sold this unproven crap to the EPA
It’s about one jump from Windex and is almost predatory in price

The air will be much cleaner after the mass starve offs in blue cities.

^ # 1 That is definitely interesting. Thank you. I hope to hear more. Biden was supposed to be on vacation this weekend. He had plans to extensive travel like to Saudi Arabia to beg for oil. Then Pelosi is to go to Europe again shortly for her third trip. Harris is I think hiding.
#8
The simplest solution is to shut down the EPA and any obstruction enforcement elements for 4 years.
As I understand, the problem is not just administrative - the DEF requirement has been implemented in hardware: Diesel trucks have a sensor that monitors the DEF tank and limits to truck speed to 5 mph when it runs dry.
I wonder if clever humans could hack the sensor or its controller, basically hot-wiring it to read FULL all the time.

DEF is essentially cow urine...so people need to start making their own version of it

DEF is roughly 30% urea and 70% distilled water.
While isolating urea was an early triumph for organic chemistry, making your own DEF is a bit trickier than teaching your cow to pee in the DEF tank. The urea concentration in urine is low and there are a whole bunch of other ingredients you do not want in your engine.

Human urine is apparently about 2% urea. So yes — both purification and distillation are necessary. It sounds fairly straightforward for a plain vanilla chemical factory to set up, and is a feedstock for fertilizer as well.

"DEF is an emissions control liquid required by the EPA in diesel engines manufactured after 2010 "
Whatever did we do before 2010? I guess we all died or something.

I'd be surprised if the commies did NOT stick it to us now that we've allowed ourselves to become dependent on them. It's a good bet it was part of their plan all along.

Pretty sure an emergency software hack will stop the software-shutdown to comply with EPA smog regs. The engine's don't shut down by necessity. It's EPA-imposed software strangling.

Need something distilled?
Well, Hell's Bells, even Amazon sells a 404SS 13Gal. still system.
Want quality and quantity?
Ask an Old-School Southerner.
Or checkout "www.moonshinestill.com"
#17
Distillation is used to separate liquids. Urea is a solid.
I suspect it is easier to synthesize it from ammonia or such than to concentrate a 2% solution. Best quick solution is a hardware/software hack to spoof the sensor system.

I looked it up, and it looks like you are more right than I, SteveS. Mr. Wife trained as a chemical engineer. I’ll get his thoughts when he returns from his current business trip, just for my own satisfaction. Learning! :-)
[Free Beacon] President Joe Biden is "rattled," according to NBC News, and "looking to regain voters’ confidence that he can provide the sure-handed leadership he promised during the campaign."
How? By trying to change the media narrative. On May 30, Biden published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal that explained "My Plan for Fighting Inflation." The next day, Biden wrote a "guest essay" for the New York Times on "What America Will and Will Not Do in Ukraine."
Bad poll numbers and a collapsing domestic and international situation have excited the typically drowsy president into action. There’s a problem, though. The closer you read Biden’s op-eds, the less he has to say. This new, annoyed, engaged Biden may be a prolific writer and speaker. But he’s not an incisive one. He won’t admit that there is a connection between his ideology and America’s problems. He can’t decide between giving Ukraine the weapons necessary to defeat Russia or settling for a war of attrition.
Biden’s Journal op-ed is a masterclass in passing the buck. He doesn’t bring up his "plan for fighting inflation" until midway through his thousand-word piece. My inner college professor wanted to send the article back to him with suggestions for revision. Number one: Always move your best material to the top!
The plan itself is gauzy and thin. "The Federal Reserve has a primary responsibility to control inflation." You wouldn’t know that from listening to Progressives, including some of Biden’s nominees to the Federal Reserve, who argue that the Fed’s interest in price stability distracts it from promoting full employment, green energy, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. Now Biden wants the Fed to correct not only its mistakes, but his own. Let’s see if his faith in an independent central bank can stand the test of higher interest rates, higher unemployment, and lower incomes.
Parts two and three of Biden’s inflation plan are the remnants of his Build Back Better agenda: some clean energy and housing subsidies here, a few tax hikes there. He mentions his use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to lower gas prices, but not his appeals to Venezuela and OPEC to boost the oil supply. As for the obvious answers to America’s energy problems—a complete reversal of Biden’s hostility to oil and gas exploration and production, huge investments in nuclear power, and emergency efforts to increase refinery capacity—Biden has no words. His devotion to the environmental lobby and to green energy blinds him. If the Progressive Left rejects nuclear power, the "clean energy future" it desires won’t arrive.

Biden has done everything wrong so far so I see mo reason for him to change his ways. His is the regressive liberal mind. They do what they think is right and hope for a different outcome. They will listen to nothing presented to them that is contrary to what they believe. So the surprise needle is stuck on stupid. Full speed ahead and continue to attack the people they are supposed to represent. Throw money to other countries and build gas lines, build walls and ignore the American people. The EV madness here is the biggest or will be the biggest domestic money failure of all.
