WHO WAS
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DOWNING OF MH17?
I'm just an observer
like anyone else – but fortunately I possess an open mind. I've
looked at several reports by various media outlets like RT, CNN, Al
Jazeera – BBC as well as more alternative news stations...and I've
combined that with my own knowledge of the politics of the region. I
visited Ukraine in 2008 – Eastern Ukraine and spent some time in a
city called Mariupol on the coast. This region is famous for its
caviar and its steel refinery...and its football team… ( and of
course its beautiful women)!- but the conversations I was having then
already spoke about the divide and possibility of a civil war ...and
a split. I did in fact publish a blog saying exactly that… of
course it was smothered by the mainstream media- once again.
Lets have a look at
the facts.
1. MH17 flew across
Eastern Ukraine which was already a designated war zone.
2. Fragments of a
Russian BUK missile were supposedly found at the site.
3. Witnesses
apparently saw a jet attacking the airplane coming form Ukrainian
airspace.
4. Evidence was
tampered with before official investigators appeared at the site.
5. Video dialogue
was recorded by separatists saying “ who let this plane fly through
this corridor?”
Question:
1. Who shot the
plane down and how?
It was most likely
in my opinion shot down by surface to air missile supplied by Russia.
The witnesses that were interviewed can not be relied since they may
have been bribed or threatened to make such statements.
However, it cant be
ruled out that a Ukrainian jet shot the plane down. But why? - any
pilot would be trained to spot the difference between a civilian
aircraft and a military aircraft. He would have to be a complete
idiot to not know. Also he would have to receive the orders from the
highest authority. And the President would definitively be in the
know about such a counter intelligence plot. The only motivation for
this would of course be to make Russia look bad and for America to
escalate NATO occupation of the Western front. This of course would
make sense if it were so.
But there is no
direct evidence of this conspiracy. Not yet. In the absence of that
one has to go on the words of the Donesk commander as it happened.
They had the tools to shoot down jets entering their airspace – who
by the way were used to bomb civilian targets- so they were fully
justified in defending themselves by perceived threats. They probably
mistook it for a fighter jet – aimed the weapon ...and got lucky
...then realised it was a passenger jet. This is most likely what
happened. The weapon used could theoretically reach the high altitude
aircraft- which most likely wasn’t that high as normal.
So if the Ukrainian
airforce didn't shoot it down… who did? The Donesk defense force.
2. Who is
responsible for the downing of MH17?
The plane was flying
from West to East ( at least that is what the reports say)…
therefore it was flying across Ukrainian airspace. It was flying at a
low enough altitude to be shot down by surface to air BUK missiles.
It flew across Ukraine into the Eastern Ukrainian airspace – where
a genuine war was going on. It was tracked – without doubt by
Ukrainian air traffic controllers. They would have been aware that it
was a passenger plane flying across air space that was in a conflict
zone. They would have also been aware that according to any
international treaty on these matters- which the Ukrainian government
would have signed- that safety comes first.
It is standard
procedure NOT to route planes through conflict corridors. But they
did. WHY? -
This was an accident
waiting to happen and it in fact benefited the Ukranians in their
efforts to gain international support against the separatists and to
put Russia in the spotlight for supplying munitions and food. MH17
was a pawn. A pawn sacrificed to achieve a greater goal of bringing
NATO into Ukraine and defending its borders from Russian expansion
and separatists- they have already lost the jewel in the crown –
Crimea...and national pride is at an all time low. Ukrainian people
are very proud of their country. But the truth is not all of them
are. Some want to be with Russia. Its like a wife wanting to leave
her lover and wanting to go back to her husband… Russia in this
case ...is the husband.
But there is another
element besides this. The Malaysian airlines. They themselves
should have known WHERE their planes were flying… they should have
made it CLEAR to the pilot of the plane… we ARNT flying over
eastern Ukraine… its obvious. So they must also take a measure of
responsibility for cutting corners in the name of human lives.
They also need to
apologise to the victims…
So it may be that
the separatists pulled the trigger… in defense of their loved ones-
whom the Ukrainian air force were bombing( we saw it on TV every
day)…
They may have pulled
the trigger that shot the plane down… but it was most definitely
the fault of the flight controllers in Kiev – who should have known
better not to send civilian aircraft into conflict zones… and also
the responsibility of Malaysian airlines for NOT thinking of the
safety of their passengers first.
As ANY pilot knows …
whenever you fly somewhere...you log a flight plan. This flight plan
is KNOWN before the plane takes off. The corridor the flight plan was
logged in was ok'ed by the Malaysian pilots themselves...and logged.
This tragic event
should be a lesson both to airlines and to governments. You dont
allow passenger planes to fly through conflict zones. Who is
responsible for loading the gun ? - Who is repsonsible for this
tragedy?
Its obvious. The
airlines themselves. MALAYSIAN AIR.
But questions need
to be asked also from the air traffic controllers in Kiev.
3. Was there a
conspiracy – or was this an accident?
In my opinion – it
was an act of negligence . We all love a good conspiracy story –
but in this case ...I think its far more simple ... A chain of events
that were brought about by irresponsible airlines and air traffic
controllers. I don't believe this was a conspiracy. If the CIA were
involved – it still points back to the airlines. They have
autonomy. They can think. They can say yes or no. They chose
capitalism instead. They chose to cut a few corners and save gas by
flying through a WAR ZONE.
There's no need for
a cover up. War is war. Shit happens in war. War is terrible. But by
demonising Russia … all you are doing is shifting the blame for
what really happened and dishonouring the victims and their families.
4. What now?
Malaysian Air needs
to pay compensation to the families of the victims. The best thing
you can give the families of the victims however..is the truth. If
the separatists shot the plane down… admit it. If the Ukrainian
government over rode the wishes of the air traffic controllers…
expecting a disaster to happen so they could use it for propaganda
purposes to get NATO INVOLVED… they too need to apologise for
allowing the plane into a conflict corridor.
The BEST thing
besides the TRUTH to the victims …. is to sue for peace!The
Ukrainian government needs to bite the bullet and sit around the
table to negotiate peace. THIS CIVIL WAR MUST END.
This would be the
best thing for the victims of this disaster. Stop needless lives and
needless blood being spilt. That would be the BEST tribute for the
victims for the MH17 crash and the best way to honour their lives.
I thank you
