US girl trapped in Tskhinval during last year’s war between Russian and Georgian forces experienced a different sort of hostility when she attempted to “tell the truth” to western media.
For me the extraordinary thing about this little girl speaking and the western media conduct in general, during this conflict, was the creation of a defining moment. During a period when information was hard to come by, as in any wars, all the western media outlets, in unison, with perfect synchronisation, had the same anti-Russian line. Not only did they have the line, but they had the same false facts to back them up. Even distorting video evidence. The defining momenet, was that smart people in the west, suddenly realised, hang on, with little information around, we see a synchronised ant-Russian viewpoint. Suddenly the Fakenews and Counterfeit News Network et al. were exposed for what they were, western propaganda vehicles, all intertwined and singing to the same tune. What was personally amazing for me, was that my western business associates had picked up on it, my westren friends too. Suddenly what had been conspiracy theories, about western media propaganda, had turned into reality, before their very eyes. It was a momentoous step in enlightenment for many in the west.
Hello, It is really sad that the western media is blind. Most people know who started the war and most people know which media is telling the truth. It is controlled by western politicians. Everyone gets a bonus for speaking against Russia. I am an Australian married to a Russian and I have seen how the Russian forces treat people. This is not the same with NATO troops, who most of the time are influenced by drugs. I hope that there will be no war for the people’s sake. I also lived in African and saw who were the real victims of war, which were children laying on the streets without food, water, parents or home. Is this the world the western media are trying to create? Damn shame!!!
RAW = natural WAR = unnatural Here is RAW's "poem" about it: "... The somnambulant masses count souls on the lamb an aspiration of sleepwalking fiends in a catacomb all packed like sardines in a can the reflection looks back obscene." Watch out world --- pharmaceutical companies and therefore DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS galore are being purchased by the BANKS .... stocks are being replaced in the TARP giveaways, the banksters' zero sum balance on their books and PRESTO, more and more drugs are being ingested and digested ... for the obvious cha ching in 'earnings!' More of the same from the US: artificiality in just about everything and especially ITS' "news." Brain-dead masses roam around looking for their brains at the depository windows where the banks used to provide faux digits and now it is just a poison to numb the pain of knowing how evil the evildoers truly are.
It was as if all the major media outlets were getting together each afternoon and deciding how they were going to spin the news. FOX got a black eye from that interview. Since then, I've heard other people say that FOX will just call a commercial break to get out of an awkward interview. They aren't necessarily talking about the Georgian war, but it is becoming part of the "everybody knows" kind of legend.
If she hates the USA so much, why does she stay in California? If she loves Moscow so much, why doesn't she move there? As all of you experts here on RT klnow, in television, a "HARD" break is dictated by the "computer". If you wacth the interview, she had over 5 minutes to tell her story, how long do you expect the news media or any show on TV or Radio to go without "advertising" or a "commercial" break? You know in the "West" things are paid for by these breaks, unlike I guess in the Russian Federation.
The girl who gave her personal tale on the Georgian attack on South Ossetia was being sidelined by the U.S. newsmedia for the simple reason that the orders for the Georgian attack came directly from the White House. The U.S. newsmedia has always been anti-Ruusian and having their Georgian allies or should I say puppet Mikheil Saakashvili beaten back to his own territory by Russian forces gave them a BLACK EYE. What the U.S. does not understand is that they are no longer in the drivers seat, and that they are being defeated by many people all over the world. In afghanisn they are now tryng to work out a deal with their former allies the TALIBAN. In Iaq they are handing over power to Iraqis. So now they want to open a new front in Latin America, by establishing bases in COLOMBIA, from which to launch attacks on unfriendly South American nations. They would do themselves a world of good by withdrawing all their forces from their overseas bases now.
Western media were NEVER objective... From the beginning, they were pro-Saakashvilli and it was really a miracle straight from the Most High Himself that this girl was given this unbelievable opportunity to: 1. Escape allive, from Saakashvilli's paramilitary Nazi-SS troops. 2. Say even a sentence to the Western Media against USA's best friend near Russia. So this girl is really a hero and Russia should expell all Western Media from its land for this clear injustice to the Russian people, instead of doing peace talks with NAziTO mass murderers. NAziTO will NEVER respect ANY peace treaty. I remind you their promises that NAziTO will never extend to east Europe and now with the Estonian Nazis inside NAziTO, they have Stealth Bombers with nuclear bombs just a few kilometers from St. Petersburg! They turned Ukraine and Georgia against Russia. In Ukraine, the Nazi local authorities oppress the Russian minority. In Georgia, Russians are being deported. Ossetia and Abkhazia aren't recognised by the US puppets calling themselves "U. N.". If Russia doesn't stop to foolishly trust NAziTO, it will pay dearly for this foolishness with millions of lives... It's really a "Silence of the Lambs" with the West being a "Hannibal Lector"...
Sierra Nevava: You sound off like a typical uninformed "redneck" !!!! What has telling the truth to do with "hating America". Fred....oregon ....Vietnam veteran.
SIERRA NEVAVA: Telling the truth is not hating America, Sounding off like you did is behaving like an uninformed "ugly American", maybe redneck??? fred...oregon Vietnam veteran
@Sierra Nevava Because she told the truth about the Georgian assault she hates the US? And seeing how the US orchestrated the blitz on her relatives through there proxy Georgia and ethnic cleansing just like they did to the Serbs in Krajina in Operation Storm in 95. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIh8_UJrOGc&feature=related Why would she immigrate to Moscow when she is Ossetian she can't immigrate to the capital of South Ossetia and seeing how US/Israel/Georgia turned it into rubble She may have had 5 minutes but as soon as she deviated from the western narrative she was immediately cut off.
I am Australian. Do not worry. Many of us in the West know how our Western media is a pupet of many of our Western Governments. Governments controlled by people driven by old dogma and biases and the mistaken belief all wisdom resides in Western Europe and the USA. I think Australians living near Asia now are much more realistic. We understand the best thing that has happened in Asia is the Western Europeans being driven out. I do fear now that the USA has lost so much of its influence elsewhere South America will now receive there often unwanted attention. It must be terrible to be so insecure you have to insist everybody believes and does things your way. Most Australians now believe nothing much that eminates from the USA. They also realise it was USA and Western Europes vested interests that caused the problem in Georgia and still causes most of the conflict in that area with there busy body Self Righteous old Christian value system. Australia now [we are still mainly European descent] - Europe next - then the USA I hope. Ross

Evidentally, you still don't understand "hard breaks" in the television business. If you come to Atlanta, I'll take you on a tour of the CBS 46 affiliate. Secondly, if you watch the video, the girl was being fed information from her aunt and it was her aunt that stormed off Fox News when Fox News asked them to stay through the break. The Aunt's english was extremely poor and given the situation, I don't think she understood what was happening. If you(Russia) really believes that Bush(USA) ordered this attack, you are either completely ignorant or just mis-formed. Putin set Saakashvili up and Saakshvili fell for it! If anything Bush and Putin were at the Olympics shaking hands and smiling. Finally, it is clearly evident that this girl would not be so happy in South Osetia because clearly South Ossetia doesn't have the infrastructure availble to support her AT&T I-Phone and her "High Speed" wireless laptop she was using in the TV studio, unless Putin magically upgraded all of South Ossetia to DS-3 architecture. Again, this girl and Aunt had nothing but hatred for the USA, which leads one to ask, WHY is the AUNT even here? Why would she even think about immigrating when she had the chance to immigrate to the motherland and join the "Nasthi's" is it?
I, long time ago live in a state where people always said-our leader dont know what is going on, and if he know he will change that!Wrong-he know the truth better than we do! This girl who tell a truth is just a voice from ground-they did know before that, what the truth is!I said this, to point: Usa (like the most of the west)is undemocratic regime with mafia in power witch inslave and manipulate their own citizens first and try to do the same with the rest of the world.The lies and excuses work same time ago but not any more!Theirs citizens cant do nothing about but the world can! A country who kill 25 millions people from 1945(in "peace time" in endless wars with false excuses ,fake moon landing( 100 of evidence),9/11(inside job-kill their own people-100 of proofs)is indeed a danger for the world peace! A state full of war ciminals...No wander why every state try to have nuclear weapons...Mark my words Usa: what ever you done in past(from genocide on indians) and present it will come to yours soil with intrest to pay! Majority of the free world in future will see you and your alike states in a finale battle till you are no more.I am 100% sure -all out war against Usa - MUST happend and it will happend....
If I summarise all the previous comments and believe what that innocent 12 years old girl say; I have difficulties understanding the Russian decisions' makers who do so much wish-full thinking about N-PiPO and meet a procession of former US criminal creeps Secretary of States in Moscow. Something does not add-up; Please, Explain ! As far as I see, absolutely nothing has changed from previous US administrations and we may even end-up regretting "crazy" George Bush. Sirs, There is an other way !!! Sorry Future Generations...Sincerely...Jean-Claude Meslin










God bless her. People who tell the truth usually are shut down at first. Hopefully, one day soon, people will wonder why they didn't listen to her.
