Turkey Is Lying — Paul Craig Roberts
Turkey Is Lying
Paul Craig Roberts
Tyler Durden at Zero Hedge has posted the flight paths of the Russian aircraft according to Turkey and to Russia. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-11-24/17-seconds-changed-world-leaked-letter-exposes-turkeys-hair-trigger-reality
We know that Turkey is lying for three reasons.
One reason is that NATO governments lie every time that they open their mouths.
A
second reason is that Turkey’s claim that the SU-24 was in Turkey’s
airspace for 17 seconds but only traveled 1.15 miles means that the
SU-24 was flying at stall speed! The entire Western media was too
incompetent to do the basic math!
A
third reason is that, assuming Turkey’s claim of a 17 second airspace
violation is true, 17 seconds is not long enough for a Turkish pilot to
get clearance for such a serious and reckless act as shooting down a
Russian military aircraft. If the SU-24 was flying at a normal speed
rather than one that would be unable to keep the aircraft aloft, the
alleged airspace violation would not have been long enough to be
noticed. A shootdown had to have been pre-arranged. The Turks, knowing
that the Russians were foolishly trusting to the agreement that there be
no air to air encounters, told pilots to look for an opportunity. In my
recent article, I gave a reason for this reckless act: http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2015/11/24/turkey-has-destroyed-russias-delusion-of-western-cooperation-paul-craig-roberts/
Turkey’s
explanation to the UN Security Council gives itself away as a lie. The
letter states: “This morning (24 November) 2 SU-24 planes, the
nationality of which are unknown have approached Turkish national
airspace. The planes in question have been warned 10 times during a
period of 5 minutes via ‘Emergency’ channel and asked to change their
headings south immediately.”
As
SU-24 are Russian aircraft, as Turkey is able to identify that the
aircraft are SU-24s, how then can the nationality of the aircraft be
unknown? Would Turkey risk shooting down a US or Israeli aircraft by
firing at an unknown aircraft? If the SU-24 takes 17 seconds to fly 1.15
miles, the SU-24s would have only traveled 20.29 miles in five minutes.
Does anyone believe that a supersonic aircraft can fly at stall speed
for 17 seconds, much less for five minutes?
Do
not expect any truth from any Western government or from any Western
media. Governments and media know that the Western populations are
uneducated, unaware, and can be relied upon to accept any preposterous
story. In the West the Matrix has a firm grip. The Russians need to wake
up to this fact.
NPR
this morning confirmed that the media is a government propaganda organ.
The Diane Rehm show on NPR presented us with a group of talking heads.
Only one was informed, a professor at the Middle East Institute of the
London School of Economics. The rest of the “experts” were the typical
dumbshit Americans. They repeated all of the lies. “Russia is attacking
everyone except ISIS.” How can there be anyone but ISIS to attack when
the US general overseeing the area recently told Congress that “only 5”
of our trained “rebels” remained? Yet the myth of “moderate rebels” is
kept alive by these liars.
“The
refugees are fleeing the brutal Assad.” Notice that it is always Assad
who is brutal, not ISIS which has cut out opponents hearts and eaten
them and routinely cuts off peoples heads and commits the most atrocious
atrocities. Here we have “experts” blaming Assad. The “experts” said
that the refugees are fleeing from Assad not from ISIS. The refugee
problem is Assad’s fault, not the fault of ISIS. It is all Assad’s fault
because he doesn’t give up and turn Syria over to Washington’s ISIS
henchmen.
There
was no acknowledgement from the “experts” that ISIS is a Washington
creation or that until the Paris attack Washington was strongly backing
ISIS with both words and weapons against the Russian air attacks that
caught both Washington and ISIS off guard. This is extraordinary
considering the fact that US responsibility for ISIS was acknowledged on
TV by the former head of the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency. https://www.rt.com/usa/312050-dia-flynn-islamic-state/
Gullible
Americans who give money to NPR are supporting lies and propaganda that
have resulted in the deaths and dislocation of millions of peoples and
that are leading to WWIII. The Western media whores are complicit in the
crimes, because they fail their responsibility to hold government
accountable and make it impossible for valid information to reach
people. The Western media serves as cheerleaders for death and
destruction.
