MH17-ONE YEAR ON...WHO SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY?

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
