Decisive evidence as to how the July 17 [2014] shooting-down of the MH17 Malaysian airliner occurred is being hidden by the four-nation team that\u2019s doing the official \u2018investigation\u2019 into the plane-downing incident.<\/em><\/p>\n

This decisive evidence is the coroner\u2019s report on the corpse of the airliner\u2019s pilot. If the pilot was killed by bullets, then the standard \u2018explanation\u2019 of the downing (that the plane was downed by a ground-fired missile) isn\u2019t just false, it\u2019s an outright hoax. So: where\u2019s the pilot\u2019s autopsy?<\/p>\n

This investigation is important because stringent economic sanctions against Russia were instituted immediately after the downing; these sanctions were based upon never-substantiated charges from the Ukrainian Government, and from\u00a0its sponsor the U.S. Government,<\/a>\u00a0alleging that the plane had been downed by rebels who were supported by Russia. (The \u201cBuk\u201d missile launcher charged by Ukraine as the cause was\u00a0actually manned by Ukraine\u2019s soldiers<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The same Government, the U.S., that had lied its way into invading Iraq, might now be orchestrating still-more-dangerous frauds, with the potential even for\u00a0a nuclear war against Russia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The four nations doing the official investigation and report into the airliner-downing are: Ukraine, Australia, Belgium, and Netherlands. All four are U.S. allies; and, one of them, Ukraine, is one of the two main suspects in this case, the other being separatists against the Ukrainian Government. (They\u2019re\u00a0not represented in this \u2018investigation<\/em>.\u2019) The United States and Ukraine say that the airliner was downed by separatists who mistakenly thought that they were shooting down a Ukrainian bomber instead of an airliner. (Even if that had been true, the U.S. would\u00a0still have been the ultimate cause of the downing.<\/a>\u00a0The whole cover-story\u00a0was designed to be believed only by fools<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

However, the Ukrainian Government, which until now has maintained steadfastly that there is only one possible explanation for the downing \u2014 their explanation, that it had been downed by a \u201cBuk\u201d ground-fired missile controlled by the rebels \u2014\u00a0finally changed their tune on December 21st, and announced that maybe it wasn\u2019t<\/a>. Apparently, the other three nations on the team are refusing to sign their names onto a joint report from all four (according to the secret agreement signed by them all on\u00a0August 8th, this report will be unanimous or else it won\u2019t be at all<\/a>) that commits to Ukraine\u2019s \u2018explanation,\u2019 because the real evidence is overwhelmingly against it \u2014 as will herein be explained and documented.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0London\u2019s\u00a0Daily Mail<\/em>\u00a0on December 5th<\/a>, a video documentary from a Russian journalist \u201csuggested\u201d that, \u201cpieces of 30mm rounds were found in the bodies of the pilots.\u201d 30mm bullets are the same size of bullets that come from the types of fighter-jet planes that are in the Ukrainian Air Force, including the following jets: Su-25, Su-27, and Mig-29. 30mm bullets are very different from missile-shrapnel, which the U.S. and Ukraine allege had brought down this airliner.<\/p>\n

A retired Lufthansa pilot,\u00a0Peter Haisenko, examined a remarkably clear photo of the key piece of evidence on the downing, which is the side-panel of the fuselage right next to the pilot<\/a>; this panel was riddled with what he said were 30mm bullet holes, shot right into the spot where the pilot\u2019s belly would be. Apparently (if Haisenko is correct), the airliner\u2019s pilot was machine-gunned to death, his belly was ripped into by a hail of bullets, after which the attacking jet or jets fired a missile into the airliner\u2019s body, and the airliner then promptly plummeted to earth. No ground-fired missile was involved. (The ground-fired \u201cBuk\u201d would have been 33,000 feet below, much too far away for precise targeting at the plane\u2019s pilot; and shrapnel-holes are not round; they\u2019re very different from bullet-holes.)<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in question is whether the approximately two-foot-diameter gash into the fuselage right next to the pilot was the result of hundreds of bullets fired into the pilot\u2019s belly, as Haisenko alleges. If any bullets at all were involved in this downing, then the Ukrainian Government is the guilty party in it, because only they have an Air Force; the separatists do not. The separatists had no way to machine-gun the plane\u2019s pilot to death. The separatists were never that close to the airliner.<\/p>\n

Because of the allegation in the\u00a0Daily Mail<\/em>, I consulted the source of that allegation, which was\u00a0a documentary film that had been made by Russian journalist Andrei Karaulov<\/a>. Because it\u2019s in Russian, I engaged a Russian translator, who found that the source of the\u00a0Daily Mail\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0allegation was at\u00a03:50-5:00\u00a0on\u00a0this video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It says there:<\/p>\n

\u201cJudging by the cockpit fragments photos, the cockpit was shot by 30-mm cannon projectiles. There should be plenty of them in the pilots\u2019 bodies. As announced, the bodies of the passengers were transferred to relatives, but the bodies of both main and support jet crews (currently kept in the Netherlands), were in bad condition due to (1) heavy shelling targeted at the cockpit, and (2) crashing to earth.<\/em><\/strong> The projectiles must have been found by now, most certainly. Their type must have been definitely ascertained. Why are these findings not announced?\u00a0There is but one inference: the high professionals on the international investigation board are severely pressured by some powers, which don\u2019t want certain of the findings to be publicly disclosed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOne month ago [from the time of shooting the video] the international commission announced that it found certain \u2018objects\u2019 in pilots\u2019 bodies. I believe these were 30mm cannon projectile particles. When we were in Copenhagen, we were told by the international investigation commission that investigation results would be made public on\u00a09 October. To this day it hasn\u2019t been done.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

So: Where\u2019s this crucial autopsy-report? We\u2019ve seen\u00a0the side-panel with its bullet-holes<\/a>; were bullets lodged in the corpse?<\/em><\/p>\n

(Here are photos of the Pilot\u2019s coffin and funeral-procession.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

What we have gotten instead is the Ukrainian Government backing away from the \u2018explanation\u2019 that U.S. President Barack Obama,\u00a0who installed their regime<\/a>, endorsed, and used as his excuse for the EU to hike sanctions against Russia \u2014 an act of war, which now has been followed by the President and Congress\u00a0virtually declaring war against Russia by taking over Ukraine on Russia\u2019s very border<\/a>. Based totally on lies.<\/p>\n

Evidently, Obama believes that if George W. Bush could fool the American public into invading Iraq, Obama can fool them into invading Russia. Can it be: he\u2019s aiming to\u00a0out-do<\/em>\u00a0even Bush<\/a>?<\/p>\n

PS: a note that my translator wants to append:<\/p>\n

I have now read the Daily Mail article for the first time \u2014 what a distortion of the facts stated in the documentary!!!<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. They claim that, according to the Russian media, the air traffic controller and the pilot fled together, which was never said (nor even suggested) in the documentary. This was apparently done in order to make the documentary look ridiculous and far-fetched, which it is not.<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. They forget to mention, that authorities of Borispol\u00a0[the airport]\u00a0tower, when contacted by A. Karaulov\u2019s team, said they never had anyone by the name of Anna Petrenko\u00a0[the alleged fighter-jet\u2019s pilot alleged girlfriend]\u00a0on staff, when the opposite was said by lower rank employees. And when the journalists contacted some unnamed boss, s\/he just hung up the phone on them.<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. The article doesn\u2019t give any proof of the girl and the pilot still being alive, which makes it seem even more sinister\u00a0[i.e.: did the Government kill them, to silence them?].<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
