31 Dec 2018 – <\/em>Finally, a clear and convincing \u2014 and unrefuted \u2014 case can now be presented to the public, as to precisely whom the guilty party was, that downed the MH17 Malaysian airliner over Ukraine on 17 July 2014, and why it was done. The complete case, which will be fully documented here, displays unequivocally who needed the MH17 murders (of\u00a0298 persons<\/a>) to be perpetrated. This mass-murder was done for one leader\u2019s very pressing obsession. For him, it simply had to be done, and done at that precise time.<\/p>\n

The full MH17 case will be presented here, to be judged by the public, because no court of law which possesses the power to bring this (or even any) case on the MH17 murders, is willing to do so, and because the evidence in this 17 July 2014 case has become overwhelming, and is unrefuted.\u00a0This evidence is accepted by both sides<\/strong>.\u00a0But it still remains effectively hidden from the publics in the United States and its allied countries. (The present news-report, which is the first ever to present this entire case, is submitted to all news-media in English-speaking countries, so that any of them that wishes to provide its audience access to this uncontested and conclusive evidence in the MH17 case can do so, by publishing this article. Any of them that won\u2019t, don\u2019t want their audience to have access to the conclusive evidence in this case, because this article is being made available to all of them to publish, free of charge; so, there is no other reason not to publish it.)<\/p>\n

The complete evidence will be described, and all of the conclusive evidence is linked-to, proving who perpetrated, and who demanded, the shoot-down on 17 July 2014 of the Malaysian airliner MH17.<\/p>\n

This article will start by demonstrating the most important thing, and will demonstrate it by means of\u00a0links to the most conclusive evidence of all<\/em>. This is the evidence which absolutely proves that the official Netherlands-headed investigation into this matter is an intentional and utter fraud \u2014 a fraud which has already been conclusively answered and exposed by the Russian Government. (Netherlands headed the investigation because\u00a0196<\/a>\u00a0of the 298 murder-victims were Dutch.) Russia\u2019s response provided, in excruciating detail, not only clear disproofs of the Netherlands-headed investigation\u2019s conclusions of Russian guilt, but also (and on the basis of\u00a0the very same evidence\u00a0<\/em>that the official investigation had made public on 24 May 2018) provided the still-unrefuted (but nonetheless still effectively hidden) proofs of Ukraine\u2019s actual and incontestable guilt, in this mass-murder. This evidence, of the Netherlands team\u2019s fraudulence, carries the investigation a large part of the way toward its ultimate conclusion, regarding whom the person was who had demanded Ukraine to commit this crime.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, the Netherlands Government had\u00a0partially funded<\/a>\u00a0the\u00a0coup<\/a>\u00a0that in February 2014 overturned Ukraine\u2019s Government and\u00a0installed\u00a0<\/em>the new regime, which regime is allied with the United States Government and actually perpetrated the MH17 shoot-down. The Government of Netherlands is not a neutral in this case that it is judging. It had helped install the present regime in Ukraine. In fact, as you can see\u00a0here<\/a>, Netherlands\u2019 Government had been the largest single contributor to Ukraine\u2019s Hromadske TV, which was propagandizing to exterminate the residents in Ukraine\u2019s former Donbass region, which breakaway region had\u00a0voted over 90%<\/a>\u00a0for Ukraine\u2019s Democratically elected President, whom\u00a0Obama\u2019s coup<\/a>\u00a0had just overthrown. This operation in Ukraine is an extension from\u00a0the corrupt Nazi Prince Bernhard’s having established in Netherlands in 1954 the secretive Bilderberg group to coordinate NATO\u2019s efforts for the US and its allies to conquer<\/a>\u00a0ultimately the world. He got\u00a0caught in 1976, for one of his skimming operations, a million-dollar kickback from Lockheed Corporation<\/a>. Holland\u2019s Deep State is anything but benign.<\/p>\n

So, Russia\u2019s response, on 17 September 2018, used that Netherlands-headed team\u2019s own documentation, to\u00a0disprove\u00a0that team\u2019s attribution of guilt to Russia, and to\u00a0prove\u00a0conclusively<\/strong>\u00a0Ukraine\u2019s guilt\u00a0<\/em>as having been the actual perpetrator of this mass-murder. Thus, the Netherlands-headed team includes the actual perpetrator, Ukraine, and not only the Netherlands Government, which had helped overthrow Ukraine\u2019s prior and democratically elected Government and bring Ukraine\u2019s current regime into power in February 2014, just months prior to the MH17 shoot-down, which resulted from that\u00a0US coup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Most readers who click onto the links here will be shocked. What will shock them is the evidence, because it has not been published in The West (except summarized in less than a half-dozen obscure news-media \u2014 and, even there, generally not documented, such as it is here).<\/p>\n

The links will document and fully prove this stunning turnabout, from Russia to Ukraine. The documentation that was cited by Ukraine and Ukraine\u2019s fellow team-member (the team\u2019s leader) Netherlands, against Russia, on May 24th<\/sup> of 2018, contained previously unrecognized details (which were first pointed out in the Russian presentation on September 17th<\/sup> of 2018) which irrefutably convict Ukraine. Consequently, Russia\u2019s response was ignored in The West, despite that presentation\u2019s having been based upon the very same items of evidence that had been introduced by the Netherlands-led team on May 24th<\/sup>. Thus, the items of evidence, there, are the same that the Netherlands-led team had themselves provided. The items of evidence here\u00a0are not in dispute<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The current article will be the first-ever to hone-in on the especially shocking\u00a0key data\u00a0in Russia\u2019s data-packed September 17th response, the key evidence that Russia was calling attention to there, and which prove Ukraine\u2019s guilt beyond any reasonable doubt \u2014 prove it on the basis of the very same evidence that had been introduced by Ukraine\u2019s own team in their presentation four months earlier. Using the other side\u2019s evidence to convict that other side is what makes this denouement the stunning turnabout that it is.<\/p>\n

The Netherlands-headed Ukrainian team\u00a0still refuses to answer<\/em>\u00a0the Russian presentation, which responds to the Ukrainian team\u2019s May 24th<\/sup> presentation. Western \u2018news\u2019-media have likewise almost completely ignored Russia\u2019s response. (One Dutch medium<\/a>\u00a0did report on it but dismissed it by focusing on a subordinate part: their report said and focused on \u201cRussia now claims that the video images the investigators used to track the missile’s transport to the Ukraine, were manipulated.\u201d However, the part of Russia\u2019s presentation that will be discussed in the present article was being entirely ignored in that Dutch news-report, which, as you will see here, has nothing to do with\u00a0any<\/em>\u00a0claim of manipulated evidence. Britain\u2019s\u00a0BBC<\/a>\u00a0likewise focused-in on the \u201cmanipulated evidence\u201d that Russia\u2019s presentation had attacked. The\u00a0Washington Post<\/em>\u00a0instead headlined\u00a0\u201cWho spread disinformation about the MH17 crash? We followed the Twitter trail\u201d<\/a>, and it focused-in on how polarized the public is over the MH17 case. The West\u2019s \u2018news\u2019-coverage was virtually entirely misdirection and disinformation, as you will recognize from what follows here. And the evidence here is linked-to, so that you can see it for yourself.)<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s response documented beyond any question, at all, that this airliner was shot down by the Ukrainian Government, and that Western (i.e., US-allied) \u2018news\u2019media have been and are\u00a0covering-up this crucial historical fact and The West\u2019s still-ongoing lies about the downing of MH17<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Those lies are the basis of US and EU anti-Russia sanctions, which remain in effect despite the basis for those sanctions having been exposed unequivocally, on September 17th, to\u00a0be\u00a0based on lies. Thus, continuing to\u00a0hide\u00a0<\/em>those lies is crucial to the liars. This is the reason why Russia\u2019s blazingly detailed presentation on September 17th<\/sup> has been virtually ignored \u2014 to protect the actually guilty. The evidence here proves that those sanctions,\u00a0themselves<\/em>, are nothing but frauds against the public, and crimes against Russia \u2014 ongoing additional crimes, which have been, and remain, effectively hidden till now.<\/p>\n

The reader can see and consider here all of the conclusive evidence in the MH17 case \u2014 it can be reached via the present article\u2019s links.\u00a0Unlike the \u2018news\u2019-reports in The West\u2019s \u2018news\u2019-media, the presentation here is\u00a0not presuming readers\u2019 trust<\/em>, but is instead providing\u00a0to all readers access to\u00a0the actual evidence<\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 evidence that is accepted by\u00a0both\u00a0sides. That\u2019s what the links here are for: examination\u00a0by any skeptics<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Skepticism in judging anything is not only good; it is essential to justice. Trust should\u00a0never\u00a0be\u00a0given<\/em>; it should\u00a0only<\/em>\u00a0be\u00a0earned<\/em>. Otherwise, no democracy can function. Only dictatorship can function in a country that\u2019s controlled by lies, and by liars. Liars are believed by people who have faith in them. Thus, faith in anything or anyone can poison judgment. The way to test the case that is presented here is to click onto a link wherever one wants to see and examine the evidence. Without examining (usually by spot-checking) the evidence, no reader can intelligently judge any case. Dictatorship is almost inevitable in a counry where spot-checking of the actual evidence isn\u2019t\u00a0the norm<\/em>. Most \u2018news\u2019-media don\u2019t even\u00a0enable\u00a0such spot-checking. This is why \u2018news\u2019-media are so often actually propaganda-media instead.<\/p>\n

So, here\u2019s the complete MH17 case, for any reader to judge:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The last announcement from the official investigation, the Netherlands-headed \u201cJoint Investigative Team\u201d (JIT), was on 24 May 2018, and it headlined\u00a0\u201cUpdate in criminal investigation MH17 disaster\u201d<\/a>. It said:<\/p>\n

The JIT is convinced that the BUK-TELAR\u00a0[missile and launcher]\u00a0that was used to down MH17, originates from the 53rd Anti Aircraft Missile brigade (hereinafter 53rd brigade), a unit of the Russian army from Kursk in the Russian Federation. \u2026 This fingerprint has been compared with numerous images of BUK-TELARS, both Ukrainian and Russian ones. The only BUK-TELAR on which this combination of characteristics also was found, is a BUK-TELAR that was recorded several times when it joined a convoy of the 53rd brigade on 23 \u2013 25 June 2014.<\/em><\/p>\n

Consequently, the JIT presumes that within the 53rd brigade and within the circle around it, people have knowledge about the operation in which that particular BUK-TELAR was deployed. \u2026 Already in September 2016, the JIT disclosed that MH17 was downed with a BUK missile of the 9M38 series. \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

The missile engine\u2019s casing shows the number 9\u00a0\u0434\u00a01318869032.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Typical of Western \u2018news\u2019-media\u2019s coverage of that presentation, was CNN\u2019s report the same day, May 24th of 2018. It was headlined\u00a0“Missile that downed MH17 ‘owned by Russian brigade\u2019”<\/a>. It stated: \u201c\u2018At the time this area was under control of pro-Russian separatists,\u2019 said Fred Westerbeke, chief prosecutor of the National Prosecutor\u2019s Office of the Netherlands. The Buk launcher of the 9M38 series \u2018was transported from the territory of the Russian Federation and was returned to that territory of the Russian Federation afterwards\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian side claimed they had finally found evidence which would enable them definitively to place the blame for the MH17 shoot-down on Russia. So, the very next day, May 25th<\/sup>,\u00a0Britain\u2019s Telegraph\u00a0bannered\u00a0“Netherlands and Australia call for compensation for MH17 victims as they accuse Russia of downing plane”<\/a>\u00a0and reported that \u201cAustralia and the Netherlands have said they hold Russia legally responsible for the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight 17 over Ukraine in 2014 and will seek reparations for relatives of the 298 people killed.\u201d This demand against Russia was coming \u201cthe day after the Dutch-led international investigation concluded that the Russian military had deployed the Buk surface-to-air missile that shot down the plane.\u201d<\/p>\n

Four months later, on 17 September 2018, the Russian Ministry of Defense youtubed its response, which is titled\u00a0\u201cBriefing on newly discovered evidence pertaining to the crash of the MH17 flight\u201d<\/a><\/strong>. It presented the actual history of the Buk missile and launcher which Ukraine and the other Governments on the JIT said had brought down the MH17. (The JIT includes four countries, Netherlands, Ukraine, Belgium, and Australia, with a fifth, Malaysia, having been brought in only later, after it finally agreed to\u00a0allow Ukraine a veto over any conclusions that the team will publish<\/em><\/strong>. Malaysia\u2019s participation\u00a0started<\/a>\u00a0on 4 December 2014; but whether Malaysia has actually been\u00a0allowed to play a role in the \u2018investigation\u2019 isn\u2019t clear<\/a>.) Russia, during the intervening months after the JIT\u2019s May 24th presentation, had tracked down all of those serial numbers,\u00a08868720<\/a>, and\u00a01318869032<\/a>, and\u00a09M38<\/a>, and found (as\u00a0you can see there by clicking on each, especially onto the\u00a0\u201cBriefing\u201d<\/a>\u00a0itself<\/strong>) that after the acquisition of the launcher and missile, by Ukraine in 1986, from Russia, that missile and its launcher had\u00a0always, and constantly since their transfer to Ukraine in 1986, remained in Ukraine,<\/em> and never again were located in Russia. So: if the JIT\u2019s supplied evidence is authentic \u2014 which the Ukrainian team asserts it to be \u2014 then it\u00a0outright convicts\u00a0<\/em>Ukraine. This is an evidentiary checkmate, against the Ukrainian side.<\/p>\n

******************<\/p>\n

With the passage now of years, the precise cause of the shooting-down of the Malaysian passenger plane MH17 on 17 July 2014 has been becoming clearer and clearer, despite the rigorous continuing attempts by Western \u2018news\u2019 media to cover it up and to hide from the public the growing and by-now\u00a0irrefutable\u00a0<\/em>evidence (presented here) that clearly shows what and who actually brought down this airliner.<\/p>\n

In the years since I headlined on August 24th of 2014 the news,\u00a0\u201cMH-17 \u2018Investigation\u2019: Secret August 8th Agreement Seeps Out: Perpetrator of the Downing\u00a0in Ukraine,\u00a0of the Malaysian Airliner, Will Stay Hidden\u201d<\/a><\/strong>, the key fact about the official \u2018investigation\u2019 has actually been that the Government of Ukraine was, on 8 August 2014, granted veto-power over any official finding which would be produced by the Joint Investigative Team. On 20 November 2014, Russian Television headlined\u00a0\u201cDutch government refuses to reveal \u2018secret deal\u2019 into MH17 crash probe\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and reported that Holland\u2019s science-publishers Elsevier had filed for this information under that country\u2019s Freedom of Information Act, and the Government simply refused to comply with that law. The leaders of Western nations apparently want the black-box and much other basic data in their possession to remain hidden, and the four nations had signed this secret agreement to allow the Government of Ukraine to block any report that incriminates Ukraine in the MH17 shoot-down. But additional evidence has nonetheless become public, and all of it confirms and adds yet further details to the explanation that was first put forth by the retired German Lufthansa pilot Peter Haisenko, whose independent investigation had concluded that Ukrainian Government fighter-jets intentionally shot down this civilian plane. He did not rule out the possibility that a Buk missile had simultaneously been used there, but he made clear that at least one fighter-jet had been used in this shoot-down.<\/p>\n

However, if those parts of a Buk missile, which were the focus of the Netherlands team\u2019s presentation on May 24th<\/sup>, were indeed retrieved from the crash-site as that team claims, then a Buk missile had also hit the MH17. Serious question would nonetheless exist as to whether that Buk was fired by troops who were working for Ukraine, or instead for Russia (or else for Donbas separatists who were working in conjunction with Russia, which was\u00a0Ukraine\u2019s and America\u2019s original version of the event<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Precisely what the method was, by which the direct perpetrators brought down the MH17, has gradually become clearer, despite this continuation of Western secrecy (and Ukraine\u2019s veto-power over the \u2018findings\u2019) regarding the contents of the black boxes, and of the US satellite images, and of the Ukrainian air-traffic-control radar recordings, and of other evidence-sources that\u00a0are still being held\u00a0secret<\/u><\/em> by The West and not made available to their \u2018news\u2019 media nor to anyone outside a tight official circle<\/strong>\u00a0of those Western nations\u2019 intelligence agencies.<\/p>\n

But now, Russia has actually \u2014 on 17 September 2018 \u2014 exposed the outright\u00a0fraudulence\u00a0<\/em>of the JIT\u2019s 24 May 2018 presentation, and The West (the US Government\u2019s allies) entirely ignored the conclusive evidence that that presentation by the JIT itself actually contained and to which Russia was pointing, so that there can no longer be reasonable doubt about The West\u2019s intentional and still ongoing fraudulence regarding the entire MH17 matter.<\/p>\n

Also entirely ignored in the Ukrainain team\u2019s \u2018explanation\u2019 of the event is why Ukraine\u2019s air-traffic control had guided the MH17\u2019s pilot to fly over the conflict-zone where Ukraine\u2019s civil war was being waged and where Ukraine\u2019s war-planes were bombing. The MH17\u2019s pilot\u00a0was instructed by Ukraine\u2019s air-traffic control to take that path instead of the one that the airline had planned and that had become normal during the civil war<\/a>. This was highly abnormal, and it doomed the MH17. Clearly, only Ukraine\u2019s Government could, and did, do that \u2014 change the route, and for only that one plane. Yet, still, the Netherlands-headed team blames Russia and is trusted in The West, but Russia is not. (Now, why would that be?)<\/p>\n

Russia has constantly been releasing its own investigations regarding MH-17; and, in the process, Russia on September 17th not only provided further details as to how the downing actually happened (it wasn\u2019t by mistake, as the West contends it was), but they have also, in prior presentations, exposed the absurd impossibility of the Ukrainian Government\u2019s \u2018explanation\u2019 of this event (that\u00a0only\u00a0a Buk had been used), which is the \u2018explanation\u2019 that is still being parroted unquestioningly and unflinchingly by officials in Washington, Europe, and NATO, and also by Western \u2018news\u2019 media. (As my\u00a0news-report on 24 August 2014<\/a>\u00a0explained,\u00a0that secret August 8th<\/sup> agreement was signed by the four governments which formed the JIT team and which had been handed by Malaysia the black boxes to study \u2014 Ukraine, Belgium, Australia, and Netherlands \u2014 and the JIT granted to the Ukrainian Government a veto over anything that the team\u2019s official report would say<\/a><\/strong>. This is probably the reason why\u00a0the subsequent officially released report on those black boxes<\/a>said essentially nothing. It was a brazen insult to the 298 victims\u2019 families. The presumption has been that all of them will have faith, not be skeptical, regarding the JIT team.)<\/p>\n

Though Russia doesn\u2019t possess those black boxes (which,\u00a0by chance, were handed by the pro-Russian separatists to the Malaysian Government\u2019s representative, and yet that Government handed them to Netherland\u2019s Government instead of to Russia\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 apparently trusting Netherlands more than trusting Russia or even themselves), Russia does possess, and publicly reveals, evidence that\u2019s conclusive on its own; and it is 100% consistent with Haisenko\u2019s reconstruction of the event, regardless whether a Buk was involved or not. Russian Television had issued in October 2014 a 25-minute documentary on the event, and it starts with people whom they interviewed in that region, who were describing their having seen at least one and perhaps two planes rising toward the airliner, and then the airliner coming down from the sky. Other witnesses told them that they saw an SU-25 fighter plane take off in that general area just minutes before the airliner came down.<\/p>\n

First, the Missing BBC Report:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The BBC had previously posted to their website on 23 July 2014, just six days after the event itself,\u00a0a news report in Russian via their Russian service<\/a>\u00a0(fortunately\u00a0archived by Global Research<\/a>), about the downing, but they quickly removed it without explanation. Fortunately, however, some Russian-speakers had managed to download it before it was yanked; and at least two of those downloads were posted to youtube, the first one having been posted there on 28 July 2014, with English subscripts, and with the headline,\u00a0\u201cUKRAINE Eyewitness Confirm Military Jet Flew Besides MH17 Airliner: BBC Censors Video 25Jul2014\u201d<\/a>. (It\u2019s gone now, but, actually, several witnesses, and not just one, were interviewed there \u2014 there wasn\u2019t just\u00a0one\u00a0\u201cEyewitness\u201d.) Furthermore, Global Research posted on 10 September 2014 a transcript of it, headlining,\u00a0\u201cDeleted BBC Report. \u2018Ukrainian Fighter Jet Shot Down MHI7\u2019, Donetsk Eyewitnesses.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0(The video itself is still at youtube and it will be linked-to just below here, so that you will be able to view it.)<\/p>\n

The interviews by the BBC were done by their reporter\u00a0Olga Ivshina<\/a>. (Also see\u00a0http:\/\/archive.is\/vFoh9<\/a>.) She had filmed local residents in the crash-debris area. In one passage of her 23 July 2014 news-report, there were two residents simultaneously who described what they had seen. One of them said, \u201cAnd there was another aircraft.\u201d The other continued immediately, in order to describe the other plane, \u201ca military one, beside it [\u2018it\u2019 being the airliner]. Everybody saw it. It was proceeding underneath below the civilian one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here is the second, and clearer, version of that clip. (It\u2019s the one that\u2019s\u00a0still live at youtube<\/strong>.) The key portion on it is at 0:38-042 in the video:<\/p>\n

httpv:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=C812MrH6TK4<\/p>\n

That was the 9 September 2014 repost of it, with the same subscript-translation into English, only the visual is sharper.<\/p>\n

And here is an apology, dated 25 July 2014, by the BBC, for their having removed their original video of this interview \u2014 and\u00a0yet they still didn\u2019t repost it;\u00a0they still continue to blockade it; even today the only versions available, of these, the earliest recorded interviews of people who said they witnessed the event, are the independently posted ones, but here is the BBC\u2019s apology:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/russian\/blogs\/2014\/07\/140725_blog_editors_bbc_story_republished.shtml<\/a><\/p>\n

Here, then, is that BBC apology google-translated into English: http:\/\/archive.is\/kc291<\/a><\/p>\n

So: clearly,\u00a0BBC has done\u00a0all that they could to remove evidence<\/em>,\u00a0which they had mistakenly broadcast, which had fit the retired Lufthansa pilot Peter Haisenko\u2019s reconstruction of the event, and which contradicted the US-Ukrainian reconstruction of it \u2014 the reconstruction that Western \u2018news\u2019 media project, and on the basis of which US President Barack Obama won from the EU\u00a0stiff increases in<\/a>, and\u00a0subsequent extensions of<\/a>, the economic sanctions against Russia, all on the basis of lies.<\/p>\n

(Subsequently, on 17 December 2018, South Front headlined\u00a0\u201c\u2018EDITORIAL BOARD DEMANDS BLOOD\u2019: INSIDE LOOK AT HOW BBC TRIES TO FIND PROOF OF RUSSIAN INFLUENCE ON YELLOW VEST PROTESTS\u201d<\/a>, and they reported that Ivshina had texted to a BBC stringer, on the streets of Paris, instructions of what story-lines were wanted by BBC management regarding the \u201cYellow Vests\u201d demonstrations against French President Emmanuel Macron,\u00a0\u201dYes, I\u2019m searching for the angles))) The editorial board wants blood, yo)))\u201d<\/a>. \u201cAnd if you find these ultra-rightists [at the protests], will they talk about Putin and Moscow? Well, at least the Russians go to the protests, right?\u201d Ivshina was instructing her French stringer what to look for, in order for her to be able to report\u00a0the type of \u2018news\u2019 that her bosses wanted to publish<\/em>. Perhaps Ivshina had been chastised in 2014 and had learned to never again be caught reporting anything that challenges the UK Government\u2019s anti-Russia propaganda-line.)<\/p>\n

So, this valuable eyewitness-testimony to the MH17 event is available despite Western \u2018news\u2019 media (or, more-accurately, propaganda-media), and the reason for the news-suppression is clear to anyone who views\u00a0that BBC 23 July 2014 report<\/a><\/strong>, which presents several eyewitnesses, interviewed separately as individuals,\u00a0not as a group<\/em>, and yet all of whose testimonies \u2014 perhaps despite Ivshina\u2019s wish for them not to say this \u2014 report having observed\u00a0the very same basic narrative, of at least one<\/em>\u00a0military jet rising toward the airliner just before it came down.<\/p>\n

In other words: it is clear that BBC had yanked this report because it didn\u2019t confirm the West\u2019s story-line, which says that Ukrainian pro-Russian separatists had fired a \u201cBuk\u201d ground-based missile at the airliner, thinking that the civilian plane was a Ukrainian Government war-plane about to bomb them and their families. But, first of all, the Ukrainian Government was virtually admitting there that they\u00a0were bombing these villagers<\/a>, which means that they were perpetrating an ethnic cleansing operation there, which\u00a0indeed that Government was doing<\/a>; but, secondly, the Ukrainian Government\u2019s statement also\u00a0acknowledged that if the event had happened in that way, it would have been unintentional, a tragic accident on the part of the rebels there.<\/em> (The JIT\u2019s line now is that it was instead an outright Russian attack against the MH17.)<\/p>\n

So, then, why did \u201cthe international community\u201d respond with massive economic sanctions against\u00a0Russia\u00a0<\/em>on account of this downing \u2014 by, as it turns out, Ukraine? The whole Western propaganda position was designed for a public of sheer fools, if not of outright psychopathic ones, who cared not a bit about the plights of the victims of an\u00a0ethnic-cleansing campaign<\/a>. They cared only about victims in \u201cThe West.\u201d The West\u2019s basic story-line doesn\u2019t make sense without recognizing that we were financing\u00a0ethnic cleansing<\/a>\u00a0to clear the land in southeastern Ukraine, and that any support that Russia would be providing to those separatists would have been defensive in nature, not offensive. Yet Russia gets the blame when this passenger jet goes down? Even though Ukraine\u2019s air-traffic control had guided the pilot there? In any case, that story-line of Russian guilt is false, from start to finish. And now (at least after 17 September 2018) it is finished. But Western \u2018news\u2019-media still continue to broadcast the lies, as if it weren\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Here is how outright\u00a0ludicrous\u00a0<\/em>it actually is, and sound reason in itself that anyone in the military had to have known, from the very get-go, that the \u201cBuk\u201d \u2018explanation\u2019 was a line of pure malarkey:<\/p>\n

The Russian Documentary:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 22 October 2014 Russian documentary was titled,\u00a0\u201cMH-17: The Untold Story,\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and it presents, among much else, videos of several \u201cBuk\u201d missiles being fired on other occasions, just to show how utterly ludicrous the initial Ukraine-US-and-allied \u2018explanation of the MH17 event was. On\u00a05 November 2014<\/a>, I summarized that, with screen-shots from the Russian documentary.<\/p>\n

So, when even the BBC\u2019s reporter wasn\u2019t able to find anyone in that entire region who recounts having seen anything of the sort, just how likely would the Ukrainian Government\u2019s line on that matter \u2014 that not only was this done by a lone Buk but it was fired by (at first) pro-Russian separatists, and (then) by the Russian army \u2014 actually be? Obviously, any person with any military knowledge whatsoever had to have recognized virtually immediately that the Ukrainian Government\u2019s story-line on the MH-17 downing was a pile of sheer malarkey, but did anyone in the Western \u2018news\u2019 media report that it was \u2014 that the Western line there was not just a lie, but an absurd one, one that requires an ignorant public in order for it to be able to be taken seriously at all by the public? One that requires an ignorant public, to\u00a0remain\u00a0<\/em>ignorant? This is supposed to be the Western \u2018news\u2019\u00a0media, with a free press, and a democracy, a truthfully informed citizenry, who can vote based upon truths, not on mere lies?<\/p>\n

Here is the way that\u00a0the Russian TV documentary<\/a>\u00a0opens:<\/p>\n

Several of the locals there told Russian TV\u2019s reporter that they had seen a military jet rise toward the airliner; and not a one of these individuals were any of the same ones who had testified the exact same thing to the BBC\u2019s reporter, whose news-piece had been squelched by her managers.<\/p>\n

Here Is how Mh17 Was Shot Down:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, to the substance of the explanation of how this plane was actually brought down:<\/p>\n

Earlier, I had summarized the evidence for Peter Haisenko\u2019s reconstruction of the event, but I questioned his having accepted the eyewitness testimony to the effect that the planes that shot down the airliner were SU-25s. In Haisenko\u2019s Russian TV interview, he stuck by his belief that it was probably SU-25s instead of SU-27s or Mig 29s, both of which are also in the Ukrainian Air Force, and all three of which use 30-millimeter machine-guns or \u201ccannons.\u201d But since the fact is that all three of those attack-plane models use machine-guns (\u201ccannons\u201d) with 30-caliber bullets (which is the size that clearly was used, especially on the cockpit), the effect would be identically-sized round 30-caliber entry-holes, no matter what. My last major report on that evidence, prior to the 8 August 2014 formation of the JIT and their mutual agreement to report nothing that would be incriminating to Ukraine\u2019s Government regarding the MH17 incident, was\u00a0\u201cSystematically Reconstructing the Shoot-Down of the Malaysian Airliner: The Guilt Is Clear and Damning.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0That basically fills in (and the links, in that report, document with pictures and videos that) the actual way that this plane was downed, and that\u00a0why\u00a0<\/em>it was downed was \u201cto get the EU to go along with stiffened sanctions against Russia\u201d. Obama (via\u00a0the regime that he had installed in a February 2014 coup in Kiev<\/a>) succeeded there in getting the international sanctions against Russia that he had been wanting. Obama, and certainly not Putin \u2014 and now we know it wasn\u2019t Russia at all (not even if a Buk was involved) \u2014 was the key person behind this. The 298 MH17 murder-victims on 17 July 2014 were murdered by Barack Obama (via his agents such as\u00a0Victoria Nuland \u2014 she ran Obama\u2019s Ukrainian operation<\/a>), just as clearly as (if not even more clearly than) Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman al-Saud (via his agents at the Sauds\u2019 Istanbul Consulate) murdered Jamal Khashoggi on 2 October 2018.<\/p>\n

International actions (such as economic sanctions) are based upon such fabrications, and \u2018evidence\u2019 taken out of its full context, as\u00a0this from the far-right\u00a0Forbes\u00a0<\/em>commentator Paul Roderick Gregory<\/a>, but there are no such\u00a0fakes<\/a>, nor out-of-context items of evidence, in the case that has been presented here. That\u2019s the difference between news-reporting versus propaganda; but, in the United States today, propaganda passes as if it were \u2018news,\u2019 and authentic news that doesn\u2019t fit the regime\u2019s cooked-up narrative is suppressed entirely. The scandal isn\u2019t just Obama, and it\u2019s not just Ukraine; it is also the propaganda-organs, and even (though to the least extent) their audiences who subscribe to such lying \u2018news\u2019-media.<\/p>\n

Western governments, and their \u2018news\u2019 media, are treating their citizens, their own publics, not really as citizens, but as suckers. They are treating them as subjects, instead of as citizens. This is not authentic democracy. It is neo-feudal; it is, in fact, fascism.<\/p>\n

The entire \u201cBuk\u201d \u2018explanation\u2019 of the downing of the Malaysian airliner (the idea that\u00a0only\u00a0<\/em>a Buk missile caused the physical wreckage which was found) is for suckers only; and everyone in official circles, and in the press, who peddles it, is just as fake as the ridiculous story-line that he or she is peddling. To fall for it, after being provided all of the authentic evidence, which has been linked-to here, one would have to be a willing\u00a0slave<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0psychopaths<\/a>. In this case, the psychopath was Obama, who not only had\u00a0perpetrated a bloody coup to overthrow the democratically elected President of Ukraine in February 2014<\/a>\u00a0but who also was now struggling, and had a very pressing obsession, to get the EU to accept his sanctions against Russia for its having accepted the pleas of Crimeans (who had voted 75% for that President) to become restored again to Russia. The 14 July 2014 mass-murder that was set up to be blamed against Russia was Obama\u2019s trick that enabled him to win his way on this.<\/p>\n

Conclusions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

By no means do we know every detail about how the MH17 was shot down, but what we do now know for certain is that the narrative for that event which was supplied by Ukraine\u2019s team on May 24th \u2014 the official account of how it happened \u2014 isn\u2019t just false; it is outright fraudulent. Ukraine\u2019s team supplied evidence which, if it is authentic, actually convicts Ukraine. And Western \u2018news\u2019-media hide this crucial fact.<\/p>\n

So, now, we know why Western governments have hidden, instead of making available to the public, the black-box data and the other evidence that they still refuse to provide to the public. They are aiming to scam the public, not to inform it. Lying is their game. They might call it \u2018patriotism.\u2019 Traitors would likely do that. Traitors to\u00a0any\u00a0<\/em>country could do it. And, so, they do. Their believers constitute their political base.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, anyone they fool becomes their tool, and everyone else is purely their victim \u2014 helpless to oust (much less, to replace) the tyrants who make things bad for everyone but themselves and their colleagues, the insiders at the very top.<\/p>\n

Just the day before the MH17 shoot-down, Bloomberg News had headlined, on 16 July 2014,\u00a0“EU Readies Russia Sanctions Amid US Pressure on Ukraine\u201d<\/a>, and reported that \u201cthe US urges the bloc to take a tougher stance against Moscow.\u201d The day before that, on July 15th<\/sup>, Bloomberg\u2019s headline had been\u00a0\u201cEU Leaders Weigh Sanctions Against Russia Over Ukraine\u201d<\/a>, and that report opened, \u201cEuropean Union leaders meeting in Brussels will consider expanded sanctions against Russia over the Ukraine conflict, as the US urges the bloc to take a tougher stand against Moscow.\u201d Was the July 17th event only coincidentally timed perfectly in order to achieve what Obama was determined to produce: the first Ukraine-based anti-Russia sanctions? The\u00a0regime that Obama had installed in Ukraine in February 2014<\/a>\u00a0needed not only his support, but also the support of the IMF (in order to obtain loans), and of the EU (which it was seeking to join). There was probably even more pressure placed upon the leaders in Ukraine than there was upon the leaders in the EU. But there was plenty upon them both. The EU was widely reported to be balking at increasing the sanctions against Russia. Obama needed the EU to approve quickly his increased sanctions, so as to keep the momentum going for\u00a0his entire anti-Russian campaign, which had been the reason behind his February 2014 coup in Ukraine<\/a>. Something dramatic now was needed, in order for Obama to win the EU\u2019s full cooperation. After all,\u00a0Obama had secretly started at least by 2011 his operation to take over Ukraine<\/a>. This operation was, for him, one of the central objectives of his entire two-term Presidency. Ukraine \u2014 and Ukraine alone \u2014 now had within its power the capacity to deliver to him the EU\u2019s participation. Ukraine delivered it, precisely when it was the most urgently needed. This was essential in order for Ukraine to be able to enter the EU. And entering the EU would be essential in order for Ukraine to be able to enter NATO \u2014 the next key step in the Bilderbergers\u2019 plan.<\/p>\n

Continuing the sanctions is easier than originally imposing them was. On 22 December 2018, UAwire headlined\u00a0\u201cEU extends economic sanctions against Russia\u201d<\/a>, and reported that on December 14th<\/sup>, the\u00a0EU\u2019s sanctions against Russia<\/a>, which are based upon alleged Russian aggressions in or against Ukraine, are being extended: UAwire noted \u201cThese measures were initially introduced on July 31, 2014 for one year in response to Russia’s actions to destabilize the situation in Ukraine, and then strengthened in September 2014.\u201d The EU supports, and participates in, the US regime\u2019s lies and sanctions against Russia.\u00a0These crimes and lies started as Obama\u2019s, but continued under his successor Trump, and have been also the EU\u2019s crimes throughout<\/a>, by the EU\u2019s joining, instead of condemning, not only those sanctions but also\u00a0the lies upon which those sanctions are based<\/a>. The EU thus indirectly shares the US Government\u2019s guilt in the mass-murders that occurred on 17 July 2014.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the\u00a0survivors\u2019 families<\/a>\u00a0and Malaysia Airlines (which is owned by the Malaysian Government), and their Governments, will file both civil and criminal charges now initially against Ukraine and its President Petro Poroshenko, and ultimately against Victoria Nuland, Barack Obama, and the United States, but also against the Dutch Government, for its collusion with the United States Government in its fraudulent \u2018investigation\u2019 that had\u00a0pre-established blame against Russia<\/a>. (However, the secret agreement that Malaysia signed to join the JIT might prohibit Malaysia from joining such suits.) Netherlands pre-established Russian blame especially by means of its 8 August 2014 secret four-party agreement (joined later by Malaysia\u2019s Government) to allow Ukraine, an actual\u00a0suspect\u00a0in this case, to hold veto power over the assignment of blame in this entire matter. However, not only the survivors of the 298 victims should be suing, but all of the victims should be represented in this case. There were also many violations of international laws. Obama\u2019s\u00a0coup<\/a>\u00a0against Ukraine was one such. The MH17 shoot-down resulted from\u00a0that coup<\/a>, couldn\u2019t have occurred without it, and was an extension from it. That coup is thus an important part of the MH17 case.<\/p>\n

On 20 September 2017, the now 5 countries in the JIT signed a joint\u00a0\u201cMemorandum of Understanding\u201d<\/a>\u00a0saying \u201cArrangements for signatories and other grieving nations to make financial contributions to the national proceedings in the Netherlands will be laid down in a financial memorandum of understanding,\u201d and that \u201cThis Memorandum will remain in effect for five years and will be automatically extended for successive five-year periods.\u201d So, they intend to continue their \u2018investigation\u2019 into MH17 until they can present to the world evidence that Russia did it. Perhaps before that happens, however, all of the victims and their children will already have passed away and this fraud and farce will finally end, as secretly as it began, and only few people will even care, anymore, about it.<\/p>\n

Or will victims and their families, instead, initiate whatever legal proceedings they can,\u00a0right now<\/em>, against all members of the JIT, for their cover-up, and against the ringleaders, in the US, who demanded this mass-murder to be done, and against the perpetrators in Ukraine, who actually ordered and did it?<\/p>\n

Maybe they\u2019ll even be able to get Barack Obama to return to the Nobel committee their 2009 Peace Prize.<\/p>\n

The US regime\u00a0masterminded<\/a>\u00a0this mass-murder in order to win the EU\u2019s support for sanctions\u00a0against Russia<\/a>, and\u00a0the EU knowingly complied<\/a>, and continues to comply, with the American regime\u2019s ongoing aggressions and lies against Russia. The 298 MH17 murder-victims are thus not only the US regime\u2019s victims, but vicariously victims also of the EU \u2014 and not,\u00a0at all<\/em>, of Russia. Russia was instead the real intended target of the possible Ukrainian Buk missile, and of the Ukrainian fighter-jets, that brought down the MH17. The MH17 victims were merely \u201ccollateral damages\u201d in\u00a0the US regime\u2019s secret decades-long and ongoing anti-Russia war<\/a>. This is how today\u2019s America competes in the world, by\u00a0playing very dirty, and getting away with it, helped by its allies, which endorse, and join in, the US regime\u2019s atrocities<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, which major news-media in The West will report these solidly documented facts? Isn\u2019t it time, finally, that they should\u00a0start<\/em>\u00a0doing that? Or, do they have no honor, at all?<\/p>\n
