Down About Ukraine Coverage

And not because I have been in the "blogger gutter," because that is where you need to go for true investigation; what has me down is the disturbing distortions coming from the agenda-pushing propaganda pre$$ of AmeriKa. I will explain....

"MH17 – Another Fabricated Diversion of the Worst Sort" by  - Jul 19, 2014

It’s hard to watch the news pouring out about this latest obviously staged airliner hoax. The essence once again, as was the last lost Malaysian flight, is diversion and misdirection. This time from the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestine. What are we hearing about the brutal incursion into Gaza by the massive, vicious Israeli army intent on bulldozing those innocent residents into the sea? Almost nothing.

The US anti Russia rhetoric is another smokescreen. All of this is to gin up anger, hatred and most of all get your mind off what’s really going down.

What does the magician do? Draw your attention to one hand while the other is busy preparing the next trick. That these airliner tragedies are intertwined events is no mere coincidence. Already reports are coming in that the passengers were dead long before the crash, never mind that there was a duplicate Malaysian airliner in a Tel Aviv hangar all along, that jet fighters were tailing the plane, or that the MH17 commercial route resumed routinely following the incident. One easily wonders if that original flight was even out of Schiphol airport, which by the way doesn’t normally fly over Ukraine.

Smells like 9/11, doesn’t it.

Same planners. Same perpetrators. That’s why....

Turns out that last part is yes, indeed true, and that is when you should start hunting for clues. There is a range of investigation and debate starting here and rolling through the section until about here.  I took a look at a video and it looks like a staged and scripted scene to me. The whole story stinks in more ways than one and makes me feel I was on to something. I mean, "at bottom" you have to ask yourself: who benefits? 

Then there is the limited hangout, imho, of the actual event as reported is accurate. This is the sad thing. It has reached the point where not only am I doubting the press surrounding a reported event; I'm beginning to doubt that those events ever happened at all or distorted beyond recognition.

"Obama points at Russia as he calls for crash probe" by Matt Viser and David Filipov | Globe Staff   July 18, 2014

Related: Putin's Approval Rating Rising 

They made my point for me, and did they publish that a little too early (like the BBC did the dropping of WTC7) thinking Putin would free fall like a Malaysian airliner?

WASHINGTON — President Obama on Friday demanded an impartial investigation into the missile attack over eastern Ukraine that brought down the Malaysian Airlines jetliner, and hinted strongly that Russia bears at least partial responsibility for supporting and equipping separatist rebels who are suspected of launching the strike.

Don't worry, you are getting one. From what I heard the rebels are inviting in non-biased, independent third parties.

Obama said the downing of the plane, which killed all 298 people aboard, appeared to be linked to the ongoing conflict in the region that has been “facilitated in large part because of Russian support.”

He confirmed that the missile appeared to have been fired at the plane, which was cruising at 33,000 feet, from a region of Ukraine controlled by separatists. US officials said the surface-to-air missile was most likely Russian-made and that separatists fighting for independence from Kiev may have had technical assistance from Russia in its use.

“Nearly 300 innocent lives were taken — men, women, children, infants — who had nothing to do with the crisis in Ukraine,” Obama said in the White House briefing room. “Their deaths are an outrage of unspeakable proportions.”

Gaza, drones strikes, Iraq, Libya, Syrai, ISIS, stop it, sir. You screaming about it makes me suspicious of a false flag.

“This should snap everybody’s heads to attention,” the president added. “This certainly will be a wake-up call for Europe and the world that there are consequences to an escalating conflict in eastern Ukraine.’’

Do I really have to type anything?

But while US officials said the evidence pointed more strongly to Russian-backed separatists, Russia has denied involvement and suggested that Ukraine’s military might have been responsible, an assertion Ukraine rejected.

Ukraine has done an "oopsie" before, but who in their right mind in this world would believe US officials about anything anymore. Sorry, but, ahem, Iraqi WMD, bye! Save your breath.

Russian President Vladimir Putin called for talks, saying: “All sides to the conflict must swiftly halt fighting and begin peace negotiations. It is with great concern and sadness that we are watching what is happening in eastern Ukraine. It’s awful; it’s a tragedy.”

HOW DARE HE!!

Obama also called for a cease-fire in Ukraine.

Yeah, but the other guy was first.

But their dueling remarks indicated how the airliner tragedy has only added new tension to relations between the United States and Russia over the conflict. 

Let's just keep it to remarks, 'kay?

Whether the incident will encourage Europeans to join the United States in seeking tougher sanctions against Russia for fomenting rebellion in Ukraine remained unclear, however.

Yeah, they already failed to join the new U.S. sanctions regime.

Global reaction has consisted of calls to impartially investigate, rather than demands to punish Russia.

Meaning this false flag or hoax has FLOPPED!

“The immediate priority has to be for investigators to gain access to the crash site,” said Mark Lyall Grant, the British ambassador to the UN. “There must be no interference or tampering with the evidence.”

Don't let the FBI near it then.

A delegation from Europe traveled to the crash site on Friday afternoon to begin searching through wreckage that is spread out over fields between two villages in eastern Ukraine.

While separatists guarding the crash site allowed some Ukrainian government rescue teams to enter and begin collecting bodies, they were less cooperative with a team of monitors from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe who wanted to secure a safe route for the investigation and salvaging operations.

More NATO spies and provocateurs being inserted as well as cover-up clean-up operatives?

Reuters quoted Thomas Greminger, chairman of the organization’s permanent council in Vienna, as saying that armed separatists had prevented the monitors from gaining full access to the site.

So he says. Not what I saw or heard.

Obama said that US officials working through the flight manifest had identified one American, Quinn Lucas Schansman, who held dual US-Dutch citizenship.

I don't want to speculate of the ethnicity, but....

Among the Dutch citizens on the plane was Karlijn Keijzer, a 25-year-old doctoral student and former rower at Indiana University, the school announced.

A contingent of scientists heading to an AIDS conference in Australia were among the victims. Other reports said that at least 80 children died. Most of the victims on the flight — which left from Amsterdam bound for Kuala Lumpur — were Dutch.

Samantha Power, the US ambassador to the United Nations, said Friday that Russian personnel could have offered technical assistance in operating the surface-to-air missile that downed the jetliner.

“Russia must stop destabilizing Ukraine,” Power said during an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council. “Russia can end this war. Russia must end this war.”

They must stop what yo started? Pfft!

The 15-member Security Council called unanimously for ‘‘a full, thorough and independent international investigation’’ into the downing of the plane.

And while Obama said he did not “want to get ahead of the facts,” he connected the dots in a way that strongly suggested Russia shared culpability. He accused Putin of fomenting the kind of atmosphere that would lead to such an attack, including supplying “heavy weapons’’ and “antiaircraft weapons” to the separatists.

‘‘Obviously, we’re beginning to draw some conclusions given the nature of the shot that was fired,’’ Obama said. ‘‘There are only certain types of antiaircraft missiles that can reach up 30,000 feet and shoot down a passenger jet.’’

He noted that over the last several weeks, Russian-backed separatists have shot down a Ukrainian transport plane and a helicopter, and they have claimed responsibility for shooting down a Ukrainian fighter jet.

“We know that they are heavily armed and that they are trained. And we know that that’s not an accident,” he said. “That is happening because of Russian support. So it is not possible for these separatists to function the way they’re functioning, to have the equipment that they have . . . without sophisticated equipment and sophisticated training. And that is coming from Russia.”

If the plane was shot down by separatists, any motive was unclear. Obama declined to speculate, although some have suggested that the separatists were attempting to shoot down a Ukrainian military plane, not a civilian aircraft.

The Kremlin avoided addressing the mounting circumstantial evidence that the rebels fired the rockets, including recorded conversations released by Ukraine’s state security agency, which said it had intercepted phone calls of the separatists.

In one of the conversations....

In another conversation....

Russian state-run media uncritically reported the claim of the pro-Russia rebels that they have no weapons that could hit an airliner at that altitude....

Related:

"The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.... The Observatory said.... The Observatory said.... said the Observatory."

I don't want to be too critical.

Some Russian commentators have suggested that the attack was orchestrated by the United States as a way of putting pressure on Russia.... 

What we are seeing across the world is EVEN GOVERNMENTS are in on the FALSE FLAG GIGS by the great powers of EUSrael.


These comments reflect a popular view among Russian nationalists: that the United States supports an illegitimate government in Kiev as a way of waging a proxy war.

Not just them thinking or seeing that. So damn obvious!

Another nationalist political analyst, Sergey Markov, suggested in comments on his Facebook page that the Kiev government was trying to draw the United States into the conflict.

“It’s very likely that Kiev shot down this Boeing to provoke a direct American military involvement in the civil war in Ukraine on the side of the Kiev Junta,” Markov wrote.

Yeah, if the event was as reported.

"Russian role clear in crash, Kiev says" by David M. Herszenhorn and Sabrina Tavernise | New York Times   July 20, 2014

KIEV — The Ukrainian government said Saturday that it had proof that Russia had provided the surface-to-air missile system that shot down a Malaysia Airlines passenger jet over eastern Ukraine on Thursday, killing all 298 people aboard. 

Sorry, I just don't believe it.

That assertion came as officials from Malaysia and the Netherlands pleaded for politics to be put aside so they could recover their dead, still lying in a field in a war zone.

Ukraine also accused Russia and separatist rebels in the east of trying to cover up their role by blocking recovery workers from the crash site, removing evidence, and driving three missile launchers back to Russia just hours after the crash.

It's the old "I'm rubber, you're glue" argument. It's the Israel axiom, in that whatever the charge hurled those making the accusation are the ones guilty of the conduct. We have seen this movie before.

At a news conference in Kiev, Vitaly Nayda, the head of counterintelligence for the Ukrainian State Security Service, displayed photographs that he said showed the three Buk-M1 missile systems on the road to the Russian border.

Two of the devices, missile launchers mounted on armored vehicles, crossed the border into Russia about 2 a.m. Friday, or less than 10 hours after the jet, Flight 17, was blown apart in midair, he said. The third weapon crossed about 4 a.m.

Nayda said the missile had been fired from the town of Snizhne, in rebel-controlled territory, echoing US intelligence showing the missile coming from eastern Ukraine. Both the Ukrainians and the Americans said they believed that the separatist rebels would have needed help from Russia in order to fire such a weapon.

Tensions flared on several fronts Saturday with reports of heavy fighting between rebels and government forces in the eastern city of Luhansk, a reminder that the crash site is in an active combat zone.

Yeah, THAT'S ANOTHER THING! The on-the-ground coverage has been microscopic, meaning the Ukraine military must be committing horrific atrocities as it tries to take land under air cover of a plane crash.

The allegations of a cover-up, both to hide the weapons in the hours immediately after the missile strike and to stop investigators from collecting evidence, threatened to further inflame an already highly charged event.

Seeing those words in a paper that serves as one is.... you choose the word.


Officials from Malaysia and the Netherlands, which had the most citizens aboard the plane, urged that the crash site be secured and recovery operations allowed to proceed.

“We urge all those involved to respect the families, and the nations who have lost their sons and daughters in this attack,” Liow Tiong Lai, the Malaysian transport minister, said at a news conference Saturday. “Yes, MH-17 has become a geopolitical issue, but we must not forget that it is a human tragedy.”

In one way or another it is.

He added, “Days after the plane went down, the remains of 298 people lie uncovered. Citizens of 11 nations — none of whom are involved in the conflict in eastern Ukraine — cannot be laid to rest.”

In Kiev, officials also said there was still no clear information about the location of the flight data recorders.

I was told the "rebels" had secured them and passed them on to independent third parties.

They were said to have been recovered at the scene but then taken by rebels.

The way the FBI took 9/11 footage of the Pentagon strike away.

On Friday, rebels said they had the recorders and would turn them over to international investigators. On Saturday, however, a rebel leader, Alexander Borodai, said that the devices had not yet been found, local news services reported.

The Kremlin has forcefully denied any role in the downing of the plane and has gone on the offensive, saying that the Ukrainian military’s antiaircraft weapons may have been responsible.

They have crossed the border?

Ukrainian officials called for an international investigation.

“We have proof that the terrorist attack was planned and carried out with the involvement of representatives of the Russian Federation,” Nayda, the intelligence official, said. “We know that Russia is trying to hide its terrorist activity and their direct involvement.”

Russian officials have stopped short of directly pointing a finger at Kiev, but they have issued their own calls for a thorough international inquiry.

On Saturday, the Russian Foreign Ministry said it “appeals to both sides of the Ukrainian conflict, urging them to do everything possible to enable access for international experts to the airplane crash area in order to take action necessary for the investigation.”

In Malaysia, where officials are grappling with the tragedy of losing a second major jetliner this year, the government has joined the call for an investigation but is reluctant to assign blame for the crash.

Yeah, isn't that peculiar?

Experts and officials said two concerns shaped the Malaysian government’s wariness: its bruising experience with confusion after the loss of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 more than four months ago, and a desire not to alienate Russia and China, its main partner in East Asia.

Hmmmm!

*********************

On Saturday afternoon, it was not clear who was in charge at the crash site. Journalists were restricted from entering certain areas, at times by a man in fatigues who occasionally made his point by a firing a gun into the air. He wore a badge from the general prosecutor’s office.

Tents had been set up as a headquarters, but emergency workers said they did not know who was in charge of plane parts.

In Kiev, Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for Ukraine’s National Defense and Security Council, said that officials believed rebels were blocking access in order to remove missile fragments that would help prove that a Russian missile destroyed the plane.

He said officials from the state Emergency Services Ministry, the Interior Ministry, and the general prosecutor’s office had been denied access.

Senior Pentagon officials also expressed concerns about any loss of potential evidence but voiced confidence that analysts would be able to work around that. 

They didn't mind people picking up the front lawn the day of 9/11.

Borodai, a Russian citizen who is a leader of the separatist movement, has denied that rebels were interfering with the recovery operation.

On Saturday afternoon, rescue workers in blue uniforms directed the collection of bodies from the fields where they fell, placing them on stretchers and into black body bags.

A cluster of about 10 lay in the grass by the road, as men in pairs made their way through the grass, retrieving them.

"Downed Malaysian jet claimed victims from 11 countries" by Mike Corder | Associated Press   July 19, 2014

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The human cost of the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 hit home around the world Friday, upending scores of families and small communities spanning half of the planet, from a Dutch fishing village to an Australian football club and a Dubai cake store.

Relatives and colleagues paid emotional tribute to the dead. Students gathered to pray for lost friends, and Tour de France cyclists paused for a moment’s silence in memory of the 298 people killed in Ukraine.

This is really starting to smell stinky.

The victims came from 11 countries and all walks of life. They included an acclaimed AIDS researcher from Amsterdam, a nun and teacher from Sydney, a Dutch senator, and a World Health Organization spokesman.

‘‘Today, the stories are emerging about individual travelers,’’ Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said. ‘‘Youngsters, a big group of scientists, sometimes whole families who yesterday afternoon got on board and unknowingly headed toward their hopeless fate.’’

Because the plane took off from Amsterdam, most were Dutch headed for Kuala Lumpur. But others were from elsewhere in Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. One was a dual US-Dutch citizen, Malaysia Airlines said.

In Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, the Foreign Ministry announced that it planned to transport the victims to a special laboratory in the northeast city of Kharkiv, outside of rebel control, and was arranging visas and free hotel accommodations in Kiev and Kharkiv for relatives of the victims.

Would you really want to get on to a plane to Ukraine right now? Or travel there by train?

They left behind relatives searching for answers and clinging to memories.

‘‘It’s a black day,’’ said Ron Peter Pabellon, a Filipino cake maker in Dubai who fears he lost an aunt, uncle, and two cousins, one of them his best friend. ‘‘I want to see [them] with my own eyes because I don’t want to accept. I don’t want to believe.’’

The crash heaped tragedy upon tragedy for one Australian family that also had relatives aboard the Malaysian Airlines plane that vanished in March. Kaylene Mann’s brother, Rod Burrows, and sister-in-law, Mary Burrows, were on Flight 370, which is believed to have crashed into the southern Indian Ocean but has never been found. On Friday, Mann learned that her stepdaughter, Maree Rizk, was killed on Flight 17. ‘‘It’s just brought everyone, everything back,’’ said Greg Burrows, Mann’s brother. ‘‘It’s just . . . ripped our guts again.’’

Several passengers on Flight 17 were traveling to Melbourne for a major international AIDS conference....

"Leaders split on response to downing of Malaysian jet; All urge inquiry; sanctions unclear" by Alan Cowell, James Kanter and Dan Bilefsky | New York Times   July 19, 2014

LONDON — Angered and dismayed by the downing of a Malaysian airliner over Ukraine, European leaders cast about for some form of joint response to the tragedy on Friday, but, beyond calls for an international inquiry, they showed few signs of immediately following the United States in imposing harsher sanctions on Russia.

Then whatever happened was a FLOP because it didn't serve the purpose of a wake-up call or whatever Obummer said.

With sentiments ranging from shock to fury, political leaders across the globe urged a rapid, independent, and international effort to investigate the crash, which killed 298 people and provoked accusations and counteraccusations about who brought the plane down.

That's a pretty big rebuke to the U.S.

Speaking to reporters in Berlin, Angela Merkel, the chancellor of Germany, which has close economic ties with Moscow, said there were “many indications” that the Malaysian airliner “was shot down.” Both the Ukrainian government and its pro-Moscow separatist foes in east Ukraine, where the plane crashed, has blamed the other for bringing it down. US and Ukrainian officials say the jetliner was shot down by a Russian-made antiaircraft missile.

But Merkel declined to answer questions about whether she would back tougher sanctions against President Vladimir Putin of Russia, beyond the more limited measures the European Union has already agreed. The United States imposed a new and tougher round of sanctions on Russian companies and business executives Wednesday before the downing of the airliner Thursday.

Rather, Merkel suggested that the best solution lay in ending the conflict.

“Russia’s responsibility is clear,” the chancellor said Friday, calling on Putin and his government to do their part “to find ways to reach a permanent cease-fire.”

“It will be a difficult path, but there is no alternative to a political solution,” the chancellor told reporters.

She didn't really say they did it, did she?

Merkel indirectly suggested France should halt military exports to Russia, noting Germany had stopped its military cooperation with Russia this year....

Is that what part of this is about?

European officials in Brussels said it was possible that the EU would bring forward a deadline to list more Russian oligarchs and companies as part of a tough European sanctions policy unveiled this week.

But the bloc was likely to remain divided between those member states ready to confront Moscow and those that are reluctant, the officials said....

That lifts me up a bit.

"After sanctions, Moscow expands list of Americans barred from country" by Neil MacFarquhar | New York Times   July 20, 2014

Now I'm back down again.

MOSCOW — In response to US sanctions against members of the Russian Parliament, Moscow banned entry to Representative James P. Moran, a Virginia Democrat.

He once got into trouble for mentioning the power of the Israeli lobby. I guess he learned.

“He has more than once been accused of financial fraud but each time avoided responsibility,” the statement said. “One can find a lot of information on the Internet about his ‘feats’ and special attitude toward our country.”

Moran announced this year that he was retiring after 24 years in the House. Last year, he worked to ban the Pentagon from purchasing from the Russian state arms dealer, Rosoboronexport, and he recently supported continued funding for an exchange program that he said helped young opponents of President Vladimir V. Putin.

The two Americans placed on the sanctions list for their connection to the Guantánamo Bay prison were Rear Admiral Richard W. Butler, the previous prison commander, and Gladys Kessler, a senior judge for the US District Court in Washington. Both were involved in carrying out the decision to force-feed prisoners on hunger strike, according to the list on the Russian ministry’s website.

The Americans sanctioned for their involvement with Abu Ghraib included Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez, commander of the US forces in Iraq in 2003-04, when the scandal over the torture of detainees there erupted. Lower-ranking soldiers convicted of roles in the abuse were also listed.

Name from the past, huh?

The tit-for-tat sanctions lists are another reflection of the poor state of relations between Washington and Moscow.

Keep it tit for tat and not open combat and I'm somewhat happy in the moment. Time to roll this f***er back, though.

The United States began sanctions against Russian officials starting in late 2012 with the passage of the Magnitsky Act, intended to rebuke Russian officials involved in the death of Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian lawyer who died in prison after trying to investigate tax corruption.

How many guys die at Gitmo so far?

Washington has imposed three rounds of sanctions against Russia since its March annexation of Crimea....

Well, they voted to join Russia, but who wants to quibble about New York Times deceptions anymore? Accept them as a given and move along, move along....

"Evidence of Russia’s role in downed jet is mounting, Kerry says" by Noah Bierman | Globe Staff   July 21, 2014

That's who I am left with, yeah.

WASHINGTON —Secretary of State John F. Kerry, appearing exhausted and frustrated on Sunday morning television after one of the most difficult weeks in his tenure, lashed out at Russians on five network news programs.

And here I was going to defend him against Israel today. That's what happens when you carry Israel's water, John. Nothing but exhausted frustration and frustrated exhaustion.

In separate television interviews Sunday, two ranking members of Congress said Russia should take responsibility for the air crash.

“I think the nexus between Russia and the separatists has been established very clearly,” Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California, said on CNN. “So the issue is, where is Putin? And I would say, ‘Putin, you have to man up and admit responsibility.’

Weird for a woman asking a man to man up, butt....

“I think the world has to rise up and say, ‘We’ve had enough of this.’ I think Europe has to come together. I think Germany in particular has to lead. I think we have to continue with sanctions,” Feinstein added.

They are, except they are APPLYING IT to GAZA!

Representative Michael McCaul, Republican of Texas, said, “I think Putin is responsible and complicit for what has happened.”

And if he was not responsible and didn't do it? 

You want a war with Russia, you go fight it. Leave the rest of us out of them from now on.

"Iran dilutes its enriched uranium" | Associated Press   July 21, 2014

VIENNA — The move was expected....

Still, the development was noteworthy in reflecting Iran’s desire not to derail the diplomatic process — the report said Iran was observing all of its other commitments as well.

**************

Tehran is keen to seal a deal that would end nuclear-related sanctions on its economy but is resisting a US-led effort to put stiff, long-term constraints on atomic activities that have both peaceful and weapons-related applications.

The main dispute is over uranium enrichment, which can make both reactor fuel and the fissile core of nuclear warheads.

Well, the "one warhead" they could have built but had not "has now been converted or diluted," so no worry there.

Up to last week Tehran had demanded that it be allowed to expand its enrichment program over the next eight years to a level that would need about 190,000 current-model enriching centrifuges.

It now has about 20,000 centrifuges, with half of them operating. Iranian officials have recently signaled they are ready to freeze that number for now. But US Secretary of State John F. Kerry said last week it was ‘‘crystal clear’’ that even 10,000 are too many.

Why did you move the bar, John? Why did you fail to follow through on your word and show you can be held to an agreement? Why would anyone want to talk to you anymore if you can not?
