Bociurkiw\u00a0and one other colleague were the first international monitors to reach the wreckage\u00a0after the jet was shot down over a rebel-held region of eastern Ukraine July\u00a017.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That description of him is from the lead-in to the full interview with him,\u00a0at the 29 July 2014 CBC news article,\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/world\/malaysia-airlines-mh17-michael-bociurkiw-talks-about-being-first-at-the-crash-site-1.2721007\" >\u201cMalaysia Airlines MH17: Michael Bociurkiw talks about being first at the crash site.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0The far briefer youtube clip shows only what\u2019s presented on 6:10-6:24 of this CBC interview\u00a0with\u00a0Bociurkiw. The CBC reporter in the video precedes the interview by announcing, \u201cThe wreckage was still smoldering when a small team from the OSCE got there.\u201d So: he had to have been there really fast. \u201cNo other officials arrived for days,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>So: one of the two first international monitors on-site saw\u00a0conclusive evidence that the Malaysian plane had been hit by \u201cvery very strong\u00a0machine-gun fire,\u201d not by ground-based missile-fire.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Haisenko\u2019s reconstruction of the downing of that airliner, was here being essentially confirmed\u00a0on-site by one of the two first OSCE international monitors to arrive on-site, while the wreckage was still smoldering. That\u2019s as close to virgin, untouched evidence and testimony as we\u2019ll ever get. Unlike a black-box interpretation-analysis long afterward by the Russian Government, or by the British Government, or by the Ukrainian Government, each of which governments has a horse in this race, this testimony from\u00a0Bociurkiw\u00a0is raw, independent, and comes from one of the two earliest witnesses to the physical evidence. That\u2019s powerfully authoritative testimony, and it happens to confirm pilot Peter Haisenko\u2019s theory of what happened.\u00a0Bociurkiw arrived there fast because he negotiated with the locals for the rest of the OSCE team, who were organizing to come later: Bociurkiw speaks the local languages there \u2014 Ukrainian and Russian.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, this is hardly testimony from someone who is supportive of the anti-Government rebels. Earlier, there had been this,\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/pressimus.com\/Interpreter_Mag\/press\/3492\" >http:\/\/pressimus.com\/Interpreter_Mag\/press\/3492<\/a>, which transcribed the BBC\u2019s interview with\u00a0Bociurkiw\u00a0on July 22nd. He said then: \u201cWe\u2019re observing that major pieces, and I\u2019m looking at the tail fin as I said, and then there\u2019s also the rear cone section of the aircraft, they do look different than when we first saw them, \u2026\u00a0two days ago.\u201d So, he had arrived on-scene July 20th at the latest. (Neither the BBC nor the CBC, both of which interviewed him, were sufficiently professional to have reported the specific date at which\u00a0Bociurkiw\u00a0had actually arrived on-scene, but, from this, it couldn\u2019t have been after July 20th. The downing had occurred July 17th. If some of the debris was still \u201csmoldering\u201d as the CBC journalist said, then maybe he had arrived there even earlier.)<\/p>\n<p>The youtube snippet of Bociurkiw came to me via a reader-comment to my article, from Bill Johnson, after which I web-searched the youtube clip for its source and arrived then at the 29 July 2014 CBC news article and its accompanying video.<\/p>\n<p>Further, there\u2019s this crucial 21 July photo-reconstruction of that cockpit-fragment positioned into place on the aircraft\u00a0as it had originally been in that intact-airliner:\u00a0\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EzraBraam\" >https:\/\/twitter.com\/EzraBraam<\/a>. (Sometimes that doesn\u2019t work, so\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rumormillnews.com\/pix7\/mh17cockpithit.jpg?w=615\" >here\u2019s another screen of it from someone who copied it<\/a>.) Looking at that photo-reconstruction, one can easily tell that the SU-25 or other fighter-jet that was firing into the cockpit from the pilot\u2019s left side didn\u2019t just riddle the area surrounding the pilot with bullets, but that it then targeted-in specifically onto the pilot himself, producing at his location a huge gaping hole in the side of the plane precisely at the place where the pilot was seated. Furthermore, this gaping hole was produced by shooting into the plane, precisely at the pilot, from below and to the pilot\u2019s left, which is where that fighter-jet was located \u2014 not from above the airliner, and not from beside it, and\u00a0also not from below it.<\/p>\n<p>In other words: this was precise and closely-targeted firing against the pilot himself, not a blast directed broadly against, and aiming to hit, the plane anywhere, to bring it down.<\/p>\n<p>Haisenko explained how this penetration of the plane, though it was targeted specifically at the pilot, caused immediately a breaking-apart of\u00a0the entire aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>Other readers have responded to my news-report about\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.anderweltonline.com\/wissenschaft-und-technik\/luftfahrt-2014\/shocking-analysis-of-the-shooting-down-of-malaysian-mh17\/\" >Haisenko\u2019s article<\/a>, by saying that shrapnel from a Buk missile could similarly have caused those holes into the side of the cockpit. However, that objection ignores another key feature of Haisenko\u2019s analysis. Haisenko said there: \u201cYou can see the entry and exit holes. The edge of a portion of the holes is bent inwards. These are the smaller holes, round and clean, showing the entry points most likeley that of a 30 millimeter caliber\u00a0projectile. The edge of the other, the larger and slightly frayed exit holes showing shreds of metal pointing produced by the same caliber projectiles. Moreover, it is evident that \u2026 these exit holes of the outer\u00a0layer of the double aluminum reinforced structure are shredded or bent \u2014 outwardly!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What this means is that in order to have some of those holes frayed inwardly and the other holes frayed outwardly, there had to have been a second fighter-jet firing into the cockpit from the airliner\u2019s right-hand side.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s critically important, because no ground-based missile (or shrapnel therefrom) hitting the airliner could possibly have produced firing into the cockpit from\u00a0both\u00a0\u00a0sides of the plane. It had to have been a hail of bullets from both sides, that brought the plane down, in that circumstance. This is Haisenko\u2019s main discovery, by his pointing that out. You can\u2019t have projectiles going in both directions \u2014 into the left-hand-side fuselage panel from both its left and right sides \u2014 unless they are coming at the panel from different directions. Nobody before Haisenko had noticed that the projectiles had ripped through that panel from\u00a0both its left side and its right side. This is what rules out\u00a0any\u00a0\u00a0ground-fired missile.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Haisenko posted an extremely high-resolution image from that photo which he used, and it shows unequivocally that some of the bullet-holes were inbound while others of them were outbound:\u00a0Here it is, viewed\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.anderweltonline.com\/fileadmin\/user_upload\/PDF\/Cockpit-MH017.pdf\" >very close-up<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Although the fighter jets that were said to have been escorting the Malaysian plane into the war-zone were alleged to be SU-25 planes, a different type might have been used. SU-25s are designed to be flown up to 23,000 feet without an oxygen-mask, but can go much higher if the pilot does wear that mask, which was probably the case here. Of course, an airliner itself is fully pressurized. That pressurization inside the airliner is, moreover, a key part of Haisenko\u2019s reconstruction of this airliner\u2019s downing. Basically, Haisenko reconstructs the airliner\u2019s breaking apart as soon as that hail of bullets opened and released the plane\u2019s pressurization.<\/p>\n<p>The specific photo of that cockpit-fragment, which Haisenko had downloaded immediately after the disaster, was removed from the Internet, but other photos of this fragment were posted elsewhere, such as at the British publication (which, like the rest of the Western \u201cnews\u201d media is slanted pro-Obama, anti-Putin), on July 21st, headlining their anti-Putin missile-theory bias,\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ft.com\/intl\/cms\/s\/2\/1d6a9ac2-10e3-11e4-b116-00144feabdc0.html#axzz387M3CW00\" >\u201cMH17 crash: FT photo shows signs of damage from missile strike.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0Their \u201creporters\u201d opened with their blatant anti-Russian prejudice:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first apparent hard evidence that Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 was brought down by a surface-to-air missile is emerging from the crash site in eastern Ukraine, after experts confirmed on Monday there were signs of shrapnel damage to the aircraft.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although they didn\u2019t say in their opener that the \u201csurface-to-air missile\u201d was from the rebels, they made clear their pro-Ukrainian-Government anti-Russian bias by saying, \u201cOver the weekend, western intelligence agencies pointed to mounting evidence that backs Ukraine\u2019s claim that the aircraft with 298 people on board was shot down by mistake by pro-Russian separatists and Russian military personnel with an SA-11 missile launched from a Buk-M1 SAM battery.\u201d Their stenographers (or as they would say \u201creporters\u201d) stenographed (\u201creported\u201d) that, \u201cDouglas Barrie of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, said the photographic evidence \u2018was consistent with the kind of damage you would expect to see from the detonation of a high explosive fragmentation warhead of the type commonly used in a SAM system\u2019.\u201d No analyst\u00a0from the pro-Putin camp\u00a0 was interviewed by their \u201creporters.\u201d For example, Russia\u2019s Interfax News Service headlined on July 29th, the same day as the\u00a0FT\u2019s\u00a0\u00a0article, \u201cBoeing\u2019s downing by Buk\u00a0missile system unlikely \u2014 military expert,\u201d and they stenographed\u00a0their \u00a0\u201cexpert,\u201d as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Chief of the Russian Land\u00a0Forces\u2019 tactical air defense troops Maj. Gen. Mikhail Krush said he doubts that\u00a0the Malaysian passenger liner was brought down by a Buk surface-to-air missile\u00a0system. \u201cNo one\u00a0observed a Buk engaging targets in that region on that\u00a0day, which provides 95 percent proof that Buk systems were not used in this\u00a0concrete case,\u201d the general said in an interview with the\u00a0Voyenno-Promyshlenny Kuryer military weekly to be published on Wednesday [July 30th].\u00a0\u201dThis is no more than a theory for now. However, a guided missile launched\u00a0by a Buk missile system leaves behind a specific smoke trail\u00a0as it flies, like\u00a0a comet. In daylight this trail can be clearly seen within a radius of 20-25\u00a0kilometers from the missile system. It cannot remain unnoticed. There are no\u00a0eyewitnesses to confirm there was any. No\u00a0one reported a launch. This is one\u00a0thing,\u201d he said. \u201cSecond. The holes left by the strike elements on\u00a0the Boeing\u2019s outer skin indicate that the warhead blew up from below and\u00a0sideways. A Buk missile strikes\u00a0the target from above,\u201d he said. \u201cThe\u00a0damage done to the plane suggests that a different missile was used. Our\u00a0guidance method is a zoom, when the missile strikes the target from above\u00a0covering it with a thick\u00a0cloud of fragments\u201d the general said. \u201cI\u00a0cannot state categorically, guided by this data, but I can suggest, using my\u00a0experience, that it was not a Buk missile that hit the Boeing,\u201d the expert\u00a0said.<\/p>\n<p>General Krush\u2019s statement can fit with Haisenko\u2019s and with\u00a0Bociurkiw\u2019s, but not with\u00a0FT\u2019s\u00a0 or the rest of the \u201creporters\u201d (just consider them as rank propagandists) in the West.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. President Barack Obama has been saying all along that Russia \u2013\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonsblog.com\/2014\/06\/indications-u-s-planning-nuclear-attack-russia.html\" >against which he is actually systematically building toward war<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 and not Ukraine (which he\u2019s using as his\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonsblog.com\/2014\/06\/really-need-re-start-cold-war.html\" >chief vehicle to do that<\/a>), is to blame for this airliner-downing. Previously, he had said that the snipers who in February had killed many people at the Maidan demonstrations against the pro-Russian Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych came from Yanukovych\u2019s State Security Service and not from the far-right political parties that were trying to bring Yanukovych down and that Obama\u2019s agent Victoria Nuland selected to run the new Ukrainian government. But\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8-RyOaFwcEw\" >that too was an Obama lie<\/a>. He lies a lot, and it\u2019s just about the only type of statement he ever makes about Russia, and about Ukraine: lies.<\/p>\n<p>If someone wants to verify how rabidly the U.S. Government lies, and has lied since at least the time of George W. Bush\u2019s Presidency, just look at\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ddz2mw2vaEg\" >this video, by starting at 16:00 on it and going to 42:00 on it<\/a>, and you will be shocked. (It pertains to lies by Bush that are still being covered up by Obama.) And when you further consider the many obvious questions it points out, which U.S. \u201cnews\u201d media refused to ask and still refuse to ask about the matter, you\u2019ll recognize that we are being lied to systematically and with utter contempt of the public, and with no respect for the public\u2019s right to know the truth, even regarding massive history like that. It\u2019s really brutal.<\/p>\n<p>Ignorant \u201creporters\u201d sometimes slip-up and include, in their stenography, facts that actually support the opposite side\u2019s narrative of events and that discredit their own story-line. Such has been the case, for example, in the\u00a0Financial Times\u00a0 piece, which included the statement that, \u201cAnti-aircraft missiles are not designed to score a direct hit as they are targeted to destroy fast, agile fighter jets. Instead, they are designed to explode within about 20m of their target, sending out a cloud of red hot metal to increase the chances of inflicting as much damage as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But rather than merely \u201ca cloud of red hot metal,\u201d what actually brought down this plane was what Haisenko has said brought it down: magazines-full of carefully targeted rapid-fire machine-gun bullets pouring forth from below the plane, at both its left and right.<\/p>\n<p>This was a Ukrainian Government job. It was\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EzraBraam\" >close-in<\/a>. (No missile fired from the distance more than 30,000 feet down to the ground could have been that precise to target the pilot rather than the far larger target of the plane\u2019s entire body.)

Certainly, the contrast between that photo and\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rumormillnews.com\/pix7\/mh17cockpithit.jpg?w=615\" >this one<\/a>\u00a0is enormous.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, note also that the shrapnel damage to that plane comes from above it, which is where missiles usually hit a plane from, releasing their shrapnel from above, down onto the plane.

The democratic party you all think still exists is DEAD and only exists in your brain (the part that doesn\u2019t accept reality).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, U.S. Senate bill 2277, which invites Obama to provide direct U.S. military support to the Obama-installed Ukrainian regime, has 26 sponsors, and all of them are Republican U.S. Senators. Democratic Senators, by contrast, are just silent on Obama\u2019s turn toward nazism (or racist \u2014 in this case anti-ethnic-Russian racist \u2013\u00a0\u00a0fascism); the Senate\u2019s Democrats aren\u2019t seeking for it to be stepped up.<\/p>\n<p>This is a Republican policy, which congressional Democrats are simply afraid to oppose. Any realistic person knows that however far right Obama turns, the\u00a0<em>overt<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0Republican Party will turn even farther to the right, because they have to be to his right in order for them to be able to win Republican primaries and retain their\u00a0<em>own<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0Party\u2019s nomination. Just because Obama\u2019s game of moving the American political center as far to the right as he can move it is succeeding, doesn\u2019t mean that the Democratic Party itself should end. It instead means that progressives need to take the Democratic Party over, just like conservatives took the Republican Party over with Reagan. There is no other hope.<\/p>\n<p>If a Democrat in the U.S. House will simply introduce an impeachment resolution against Barack Obama, then the right-wing takeover of the Democratic Party might finally end, and the world might yet be saved, because the Democratic Party itself could then reject Obama as being a fake \u201cDemocrat,\u201d a Democrat-in-rhetoric-only. It could transform American politics \u2014 and American politics needs such a transformation, which would move the Democratic Party back to progressivism, more like the FDR Democratic Party was, so that Republican politicians would no longer need to be so fascist as they now have become (and as they now need to\u00a0<em>be<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0in order to be able to win their\u00a0<em>own<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0Party\u2019s nomination). If Democrats fail to renounce the conservatism of Obama and of the Clintons, then the Party will end, and needs to be replaced, just like the Republican Party replaced the Whig Party immediately before the Civil War. Nazism has become today\u2019s slavery-type issue \u2013 it\u2019s beyond the pale, and Obama\u2019s installation and endorsement of it in Ukraine is like James Buchanan\u2019s endorsement of slavery was during the 1850s: either the Democratic Party will become the progressive party, or else the Democratic Party is over.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s just my own theory of how Obama\u2019s frauds might yet be able to be overcome and defeated, if they still can be; it\u2019s not part of my presentation of the explanation of what brought down the Malaysian airliner, which has been an open case since July 17th, and which is now a closed case. This is past history, not future.<\/p>\n<p>The present news story is being circulated free of charge or copyright to all \u201cnews\u201d media in the English-speaking world, in the perhaps vain hope that the cover-ups of our leaders\u2019 constant lies will cease soon enough to avoid a World War III, even though communism is long since gone from Russia and so the ideological excuse wouldn\u2019t make any sense here.<\/p>\n<p>This\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonsblog.com\/2014\/07\/profits-ukraines-war.html\" >insanity<\/a>\u00a0is actually all about aristocratic conquest, like World War I was.
