Dutch MH-17 Report Seems to Imply Kiev Downed the Plane, Not Russia (archive)

(archived from October 13, 2015)

by Scott Creighton

UPDATE: This study shows through a couple of real world experiments, that the plane was downed by an older version of the Russian-made rocket and not the newer one Russia uses today. Kiev still has and uses the older systems and if you look below in the article, you will see photos of them posted by Kiev military forces in the area at the time of the shoot-down (second photo of BUK systems and rockets in the collection below.

Dutch authorities have finally released their much awaited report on the downing of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH-17 and have concluded that the plane was shot down by a BUK missile system and more specifically, a “Russian made” 9N314 fragmentation warhead found on the 9M38 missile.

Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was downed by a Russian-made “warhead” fired from eastern Ukraine that detonated outside the jet’s cockpit, Dutch investigators confirmed in their final report Tuesday. NBC “news”

This of course is being used as “proof positive” to suggest Russia had some involvement in the downing of the plane by at least supplying the munitions and BUK system to rebels in Eastern Ukraine fighting against our puppet regime in Kiev.

Imagine that. More Russia bashing as they are wiping out our CIA-backed terrorists in Syria.

You can expect a resurgence of the story of Russia driving BUKs into Ukraine to shoot down commercial jets I suppose. What you wont see repeated is the story of the Ukrainian BUK 312 crew member saying that crap is a lie.

Unfortunately for folks who have a bit more information at their disposal, the conclusion doesn’t really point to Russia or the separatists at all and in fact, this conclusion is not really news. A study by the Russian manufacturer of the system came to the same conclusion back in June.

The Ukrainian military had in it’s possession several BUK missile systems armed with these exact same rockets and even posted bragging videos of them deploying them in the area just prior to the downing of Flight MH-17 and just after it.

So, who does this Dutch report cast blame on? Well, minus the invisible Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine, it seems to me that it places blame for the downing of the jet firmly on the side of our neo-Nazis in Kiev.

A Russian defence firm says an old Buk missile it used to manufacture brought down Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine on 17 July 2014.

The Almaz-Antey firm said the Buk M1 guided missile was fired from an area south of Zaroshchenske….

There is controversy about who controlled the Zaroshchenske area at the time. The Russian military said the town was under Ukrainian military control, whereas Ukrainian officials insisted it was already held by the rebels.

Almaz-Antey said it had analysed shrapnel damage and identified the missile as “9M38M1 of the Buk M1 system” BBC June 2, 2015

So it has already been well established that the missile that brought down Flight MH-17 was probably a 9M38 fired from a BUK system.

Does the fact that the system is Russian made mean the rebels in Donbas did the deed? Hardly.

Emboldened by Robert Parry’s Death, War-mongering Liar Eliot Higgins (Bellingcat) Crawls Out of the Ooze With More Chemical Weapons Propaganda (archive)

(archived from Feb 11 2018)

by Scott Creighton

Recently the widely discredited pro-war, anti-Russian, anti-Iranian, anti-Syrian, anti-self respect, Atlantic Council-backed blogger Eliot Higgins (“Brown Moses” and Bellingcat) popped his ugly head back up out of the weeds where the liar has been laying low since his last public smack down by Robert Parry a year or so ago. And once again, he’s doing his best to pay the bills by making up more unsubstantiated propaganda about whatever enemy the Atlantic Council happens to be demonizing at the moment. In this case it’s Iran and Syria. And in this case I guess he is somewhat reassured his lies might go undiscovered due to the recent untimely death of Mr. Parry (but my guess is… that just ain’t so)

“Bild worked with the research of the human rights group, Syrians for Truth and Justice, and the online investigative journalist website Bellingcat to expose the shocking evidence of “Made in Germany” technology used in alleged Syrian and Iranian regime war crimes. Eliot Higgins, from Bellingcat, told Bild both gas attacks showed that “the rockets were produced in 2016 and delivered from Iran.” Fox News, Feb. 8,2018

In this case Eliot, a Brit (like the guy who made up the “White Helmets” hearts and minds campaign out of al Qaeda and ISIS terrorists and like all the ISIS spokespeople and many of their terrorist kidnappers (remember The Beatles?)) has teamed up with someone from Syrians for Truth and Justice (backed by the European Endowment for Democracy (a Russia-hating, “pro-democracy” color revolution inciting organization that doesn’t think Germany gives them enough money for their “work”)) to scribble the latest of his bullshit junk “science” to blame Iran and Syria for the latest chemical weapons attacks.

Alazon Higgins to Debate Eiron Postol on the Subject of Khan Sheikoun Event

Barney Fife is going to debate Albert Einstein on the subject of relativity. Ok... not really. But close. Eliot Higgins is going to debate Theodore Postol on the subject of Khan Sheikoun false flag event.

This is what happens when idiots start to believe their own hype.

Bellingcat Admits It's a Bought-off Tool of Soros, the neocons and Regime Change NGOs

Eliot Higgins gave a press conference today in which he admitted he was paid by NATO through the warmongering Atlantic Council, George Soros' Open Society globalist foundation and our very own National Endowment for Democracy which was set up to do the dirty work of the CIA back in 1983.

And he just finished a workshop with Glenn Greenwald's Intercept teaching them his tricks of the trade.

Anyone still believing anything that comes from this group's "open sourced" investigations should be forced to wear a helmet all day and have a responsible adult check their meds before they take them.






Omidyar’s Intercept Teams Up with War-Propaganda Firm Bellingcat

by Whitney Webb, Mint Press News

The Intercept, along with its parent company First Look Media, recently hosted a workshop for pro-war, Google-funded organization Bellingcat in New York. The workshop, which cost $2,500 per person to attend and lasted five days, aimed to instruct participants in how to perform investigations using “open source” tools — with Bellingcat’s past, controversial investigations for use as case studies. The details of the workshop have not been made public and Bellingcat founder Elliott Higgins declined to elaborate on the workshop when pressed on social media.
 
The decision on the part of The Intercept is particularly troubling given that the publication has long been associated with the track records of its founding members, such as Jeremy Scahill and Glenn Greenwald, who have long been promoted as important “progressive” and “anti-war” voices in the U.S. media landscape.

Greenwald publicly distanced himself from the decision to host the workshop, stating on Twitter that he was not involved in making that decision and that — if he had been — it was not one “that I would have made.” However, he stopped short of condemning the decision...
