6. What next

1. My reportage in the recent period: (History in the Happening)

In this newsletter period, I've been entirely in Donbass. My reportage has encompassed frontline reportage, coverage of Ukrainian shelling, and humanitarian work / reporting. The culmination has of course been coverage of the recent, historical referendum. I covered that from the Lugansk People's Republic. Most of my reportage you can find on my YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/grahamphillipsuk

It's been wonderful to see some of these reportages racking up hundreds of thousands of views, becoming popular around the world! 

There has also been reportage not suitable for YouTube, on my Rumble channel - https://rumble.com/c/c-1605685

And as always, my Telegram channel - https://t.me/grahamwphillips

2. Dealing with the Media 

I'd much rather be doing what I love, than have to spend time dealing with the lies, fakes, provocations and slander published about me by the media, mostly the British media. However, if these aren't dealt with, they are passed on as fact, as you saw from the Saker, the basis for the UK government sanctioning me was largely false claims about myself, and my work, in the British media - http://thesaker.is/the-persecution-of-graham-phillips-by-the-uk-government/

So, unless these are dealt with, they can have 'real world consequences'. The recent Sun article came to my attention when it was tweeted on by noted shitmuncher Eliot Higgins of Bellingcat - Eliot Higgins on Twitter: "The Sun is reporting that "The Met’s War Crimes Team are probing YouTube propagandist Graham Phillips", over videos our Graham filmed of Aiden Aslin and Shaun Pinner while they were held prisoner by Russian forces. https://t.co/fkAECUmZFO" / Twitter

Of course Eliot has never been interested in facts, or truth - why would he be, that's certainly not what those paying him want - so didn't contact me to verify any of the claims made by, of all publications, the gutter-dwelling Sun. I checked out the article only to find it a stinking sewer of false claims, fake, and general shit. So, today I sent a full and formal complaint to The Sun about that - either corrections, and a full apology will be issued, or I'll escalate the matter further. 

This all takes time, of course I'd rather be doing my reportage, however the reality of the situation is that it's all part of the job. The Sun is read by millions, if their lies are allowed to go unpassed it means people arriving to my work with a prejudiced view, damaging the perception, reception, and result. So, as i say, these things have to be dealt with, and their lies will be put in place where the Sun doesn't shine, so to speak. 

3. Humanitarian Work

This has been an active period for humanitarian work, with several large-scale humanitarian distributions, to Severodonetsk, Lysychansk, and the Lutugino Children's Home - just a couple of videos on that here -

4. Sanctions

I'll speak more about this in the next newsletter. Over 2 months on, I'm still illegally sanctioned by the UK government, still fighting illegal sanctions. 

5. Supporting my work: 

While I'm still sanctioned, there is no western way to support my work - I'm not into any form of cryptocurrency, my UK bank account is frozen, along with PayPal and Patreon. There is only my Russia Sberbank card - Грэм Филлипс, Сбербанк 5469 3800 7878 9806 .

For now, I'm just getting by, and in any case I've never been a material person, so your words of support, and moral support are what mean most to me! Of course, like anyone, I have expenses to cover, but for now I'm getting by. There will be a time in the future when you are able to support my work in every way you choose to - moral and material, and be sure I'll be hugely grateful for that! 

For now, your support is manifest by your kind words, comments, sharing my reportage, and on! 

6. What next: 

We continue! I believe in sticking with the job, seeing it through to completion. That means Donbass, and Donbass! No disappearing for months, like some. Being in Donbass, focusing on the job to do, getting it done! And by the way, when I speak of your support, your support is not only for myself of course, it's for the people of Donbass. Every comment from you expressing your support for them, I feel that, pass that on!! 

So, until our next newsletter, stay with me for more from Donbass, there's an important period ahead. The referendums (or referenda, if you will) were a historic moment, but things move fast here, that's already yesterday, and we go on from there. If you're reading this, then I'm here for you, your man on the ground in Donbass - I'm always contactable, always happy to hear from you, always sincerely grateful for your support!

Sincere best wishes to you, from Lugansk, Donbass, Russia!!

Graham Phillips' First Newsletter from Donbass

Graham Phillips is a rare individual operating in a bland sea of uniformity. As a journalist, he is especially rare insofar as he reports what is happening from a first person perspective, interviewing people who are dealing with the reality he is recording.  In contrast with the legions of controlled media, Graham is not pushing war propaganda, he is simply reporting what is happening. 

For his steadfast work in allowing the voice of the People of the Donbass and other territories to be heard, Graham has been vilified in the establishment media of the collective west, with his own country the worst to attack him.

Graham has kindly allowed the Socialist Motherland Party of the British Isles to publish his newsletters on our sites. It is our hope that this will assist him in beating the censors. Of course, this may bring the censors down hard on ourselves, but with Twitter banning us completely, Facebook banning us so frequently that we will lose that platform sooner or later, it would be cowardly and pointless to limit our Internet activities to those which are approved of by the global thought  police.

But enough of the introduction!  Over to Graham himself....

Hello my friend! 

For years now, I've been sending out a mailing, giving updates on my work, how to support, my reportage, etc. Recent times have seen an unprecedented level of contact, and interest, something I'm very grateful for, and which also puts it on me to up the game a bit in this sphere.

So, going forward, newsletters from me go out with a Graham Phillips Newsletter plus number # headline, for your clarity. Also, so you know, they all go out bcc, no one can see anyone else's email address. I write them all myself, this is my personal email address. And, I always respond to your emails from this address, no one else has access to it. I've read your emails with reservations about gmail, but this has been my email address for over 15 years, and for now, we shall go on with it. 

Generally they'll go out once, or twice a month. If you ever want to opt out, just email me. I never share your email address, private correspondence, with anyone. 

So, now that's covered, on we go. Well, firstly, almost a month ago now, I got sanctioned by my own government, illegally. We'll deal with that in a moment, but my priority has been, as ever, continuing with the reportage from Donbass, as from 2014, on. And, it's been a busy time, with more to come, in this period my attention has been in large part on the city of Severodonetsk, recently taken by the LNR / Russia - 

By Severodonetsk, Ukrainian mines blow up a Ukrainian base - https://youtu.be/megyZ_G3YO8

The Severodonetsk comeback is on -

Severodonetsk - After the Event!

So, all of that, and I'm looking forward to getting back to the Donbass frontline soon, to bring you exclusive reportage from there!!

As for the sanctions placed on me by the UK government, well, in short, I appealed that illegal decision, from day 1, and that appeal process is continuing, I'm in 'dialogue' with the UK government on the theme, and they've already made some concessions - confirming to me that I'm free to enter the UK, with no criminal charges against me, and that I can access my own funds, by filling out an application to the UK government each time I want / need something... I informed in response that naturally i am free to enter my own country, and i will not be made to beg to the UK government for food money from my own funds. The only acceptable outcome is a full rescinding of the illegal sanctions against me, a promise by the UK government to never again attempt to punish their own citizen without a trial (or in my case even charges), and an offer of compensation for what has amounted to an attempt the UK state to destroy a British independent journalist. Of course, i retain full rights for my own legal action against the UK state, on a number of counts. 

I've been hugely gratified by the number of people who've written to me in this time, asking how to support my work. For all these years, my work has been supported by crowdfunding, and earnings from YouTube. YouTube demonetized me in April, and sanctions shut off my Patreon, and Paypal. So, how am I getting by? Well, on savings, and from my Russian bank account - that is currently the only way to send funds to support my work, my Russian Sberbank - Грэм Филлипс - 5469 3800 7878 9806 

Several have contacted me asking me about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is something I've never done before, and shall not be doing at this point. There is a lot of publicity around bitcoin, and I don't want my story to be turned into one of 'how Graham Phillips used bitcoin to beat sanctions', etc, for promotional purposes. Whatever the merits of bitcoin are, they can never compensate for the government using totalitarian methods to seize all your funds, and assets. And actually that is just the financial element of the UK government's actions, even campaign against me, what they've effectively, deliberately done is make me an 'enemy of the state', in the UK, encourage all kind of death threats, etc, make my own country a place so hostile for me that anything could happen to me... it's the UK government using dark ops, hoping that at the least, i'll be driven into exile, take up Russian citizenship, then they can just erase me as a UK citizen, take everything i own, completely un-person me in the UK. 

However, we will win this, I will return to the UK. At the moment, there is so much work to do from here in Donbass, that I can't say when, likely not very soon, but no one is forcing me into exile, even in my beloved Donbass, Russia. 

And from that very Donbass, do stay with me for much more to come, as always we hope for the best, do our best. And thank you so, so much for being with me, for all your support, in every way!!! A special thanks to those who have written to politicians / public people, on my behalf!!!! 

Best wishes, from Lugansk, 

Graham
