If they can fake a pandemic, they can fake a war.
The Journey begins…
On the 3/3 I took a flight from Luton, England to Krakow, Poland.Via Poland seemed the easiest way into the Ukraine.

Lights, Camera….ACTION!!!
Przemysl Train Station (the Refugee movie set)
A well planned stage managed route ensures the Ukrainians arriving are bottled necked and compressed into the ticket hall so the media can create the illusion of ‘hell on Earth’. pic.twitter.com/qcOTyE9lez

The ‘Video Village’ of Przemysl.

Lviv, Ukraine(Railway station)… another movie set.
I arrive around 2am, I help an old lady with her bags as she seeks information on travel to her home town of Odessa.
Once she is sorted with tickets I take a closer look around.

Filming around Kyiv train station was near impossible.
Talking/texting on the phone was ok.
The moment you turned the phone into the filming position… Agent Smiths with guns would appear.(Agent Smith=Government/police)
I got pulled aside twice within 10mins.
So I left. pic.twitter.com/2LTTkXTD3F— Lez LuTHOR (@LezLuthor) March 7, 2022
The Media claimed intense fighting had reached Kyiv.
I walk the street and see no evidence of this as of yet.

Illusion warfare tactics…
Shut everyone inside for a curfew and blast sirens across the city to scare the shit out of people.

Each day I wake up, grab a coffee and continue to walk the streets in search of a War.
I gave up on taxi drivers on day one, they wanted cash (which is hard to find in Kyiv as all ATMs are dry) but understandably they didn’t want the attention of driving a foreigner to Irpin. pic.twitter.com/DkJiVMVTyL

The city of Kyiv is now a Movie set…
Come experience the illusion of war as we walk though the Hollywood set know as Kyiv.
PROPS such as abandoned cars, blockades and checkpoints are placed around the city by the visual effects team for a fully immersive 4D experience. pic.twitter.com/WCv9chcEle

Tip: Always carry an item and receipt whilst walking around a movie set like Kyiv.
