Why hasnt Washington joined Russian President Putin in calling for an
objective, non-politicized international investigation by experts of the case of
the Malaysian jetliner?
The Russian government continues to
release facts, including satellite photos showing the presence of Ukrainian Buk
anti-aircraft missiles in locations from which the airliner could have been
brought down by the missile system and documentation that a Ukrainian SU-25
fighter jet rapidly approached the Malaysian airliner prior to its downing.
The head of the Operations Directorate of Russian military headquarters
said at a Moscow press conference today (July 21) that the presence of the
Ukrainian military jet is confirmed by the Rostov monitoring
center.
The Russian Defense Ministry pointed out that at the moment of destruction of
MH-17 an American satellite was flying over the area. The Russian government
urges Washington to make available the photos and data captured by the
satellite.
President Putin has repeatedly stressed that the investigation of MH-17
requires a fully representative group of experts to be working at the site
under the guidance of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
Putins call for an independent expert examination by ICAO does not sound like a
person with anything to hide.
Turning to Washington Putin stated: In the meantime, no one [not even the
exceptional nation] has the right to use this tragedy to achieve their
narrowly selfish political goals.
Putin reminded Washington: We repeatedly called upon all conflicting sides
to stop the bloodshed immediately and to sit down at the negotiating table. I
can say with confidence that if military operations were not resumed [by Kiev]
on June 28 in eastern Ukraine, this tragedy wouldnt have happened.
What is the American response?
Lies and insinuations.
Yesterday (July 20) the US Secretary of
State, John Kerry confirmed that pro-Russian separatists were involved in the
downing of the Malaysian airliner and said that it was pretty clear that
Russia was involved. Here are Kerrys words: Its pretty clear that this is a
system that was transferred from Russia into the hands of separatists. We know
with confidence, with confidence, that the Ukrainians did not have such a system
anywhere near the vicinity at that point and time, so it obviously points a very
clear finger at the separatists.
Kerrys statement is just another of the endless lies told by US secretaries
of state in the 21st century. Who can forget Colin Powells package of lies
delivered to the UN about
Saddam Husseins weapons of mass
destruction or Kerrys lie repeated endlessly that Assad used chemical weapons
against his own people or the endless lies about Iranian nukes?
Remember that Kerry on a number of occasions stated that the US had proof
that Assad crossed the red line by using chemical weapons. However, Kerry was
never able to back up his statements with evidence. The US had no evidence to
give the British prime minister whose effort to have Parliament approve
Britains participation with Washington in a military attack on Syria was voted
down. Parliament told the prime minister, no evidence, no war.
Again here is Kerry declaring confidence in statements that are directly
contradicted by the Russian satellite photos and endless eye witnesses on the
ground.
Why doesnt Washington release its photos from its satellite?
The answer is for the same reason that
Washington will not release all the videos it confiscated and that it claims
prove that a hijacked 9/11 airliner hit the Pentagon. The videos do not support
Washingtons claim, and the US satellite photos do not support Kerrys
claim.
The UN weapons inspectors on the ground
in Iraq reported that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction. However, the fact
did not support Washingtons propaganda and was ignored. Washington started a
highly destructive war based on nothing but Washingtons intentional lie.
The International Atomic Energy Commissions inspectors on the ground in Iran
and
all 16 US intelligence agencies reported
that Iran had no nuclear weapons program.
However, the fact was inconsistent with Washingtons agenda and was ignored
by both the US government and the presstitute media.
We are witnessing the same thing right now with the assertions in the absence
of evidence that Russia is responsible for the downing of the Malaysian
airliner.
Not every member of the US government is as reckless as Kerry and John
McCain.
In place of direct lies, many US
officials use insinuations.
US Senator Diane Feinstein is the perfect
example. Interviewed on the presstitute TV station CNN, Feinstein said: The
issue is where is Putin? I would say, Putin, you have to man up. You should
talk to the world. You should say, if this is a mistake, which I hope it was,
say it.
Putin has been talking to the world
nonstop calling for an expert non-politicized investigation, and Feinstein is
asking Putin why he is hiding behind silence. We know you did it, Feinstein
insinuates, so just tell us whether you meant to or whether it was an
accident.
The way the entire Western news cycle was
orchestrated with blame instantly being placed on Russia long in advance of real
information suggests that the downing of the airliner was a Washington
operation. It is, of course, possible that the well-trained presstitute media
needed no orchestration from Washington in order to lay the blame on Russia. On
the other hand, some of the news performances seem too scripted not to have been
prepared in advance.
We also have the advanced preparation of
the youtube video that purports to show a Russian general and Ukrainian
separatists discussing having mistakenly downed a civilian airliner. As I
pointed out earlier, this video is twice damned. It was ready in advance and by
implicating the Russian military, it overlooked that the Russian military can
tell the difference between a civilian airliner and a military airplane. The
existence of the video itself implies that there was a plot to down the airliner
and blame Russia.
I have seen reports that the Russian
anti-aircraft missile system, as a safety device, is capable of contacting
aircraft transponders in order to verify the type of aircraft. If the reports
are correct and if the transponders from MH-17 are found, they might record the
contact.
I have seen reports that Ukrainian air
control changed the route of MH-17 and directed it to fly over the conflict
area. The transponders should also indicate whether
this is correct. If so, there clearly is
at least circumstantial evidence that this was an intentional act on the part of
Kiev, an act which would have required Washingtons blessing.
There are other reports that there is a
divergence between the Ukrainian military and the unofficial militias formed by
the right-wing Ukrainian extremists who apparently were the first to attack the
separatists. It is possible that Washington used the extremists to plot the
airliners destruction in order to blame Russia and use the accusations to
pressure the EU to go along with Washingtons unilateral sanctions against
Russia.
We do know that Washington is desperate
to break up the growing economic and political ties between Russia and
Europe.
If it was a plot to down an airliner, any
safety device on the missile system could have been turned off so as to give no
warning or leave any telltale sign. That could be the reason a Ukrainian fighter
was sent to inspect the airliner. Possibly the real target was Putins airliner
and incompetence in implementing the plot resulted in the destruction of a
civilian airliner.
As there are a number of possible
explanations, lets keep open minds and resist Washingtons propaganda until
facts and evidence are in. In the very least Washington is guilty of using the
incident to blame Russia in advance of the evidence. All Washington has shown us
so far is accusations and insinuations. If that is all Washington continues to
show us, we will know where the blame resides.
In the meantime, remember the story of
the boy who cried wolf! He lied so many times that when the wolf did come, no
one believed him. Will this be Washingtons ultimate fate?
Instead of declaring war on Iraq,
Afghanistan, Libya, Somalia, and Syria, why did Washington hide behind lies? If
Washington wants war with Iran, Russia, and China, why not simply declare war?
The reason that the US Constitution requires war to begin with a declaration of
war by Congress is to prevent the executive branch from orchestrating wars in
order to further hidden agendas. By abdicating its constitutional
responsibility, the US Congress is complicit in the executive branchs war
crimes. By approving Israels premeditated murder of Palestinians, the US
government is complicit in Israels war crimes.
Ask yourself this question: Would the
world be a safer place with less death, destruction and displaced peoples and
more truth and justice if the United States and Israel did not exist?
