its so obvious to all except the asleep sheep what is going on here.
When all global news networks carry the same narrative despite no evidence ITS ALWAYS a false flag.
Voice recordings in this day and age mean precisely jack shit.

yeah, when the whole world except for you agree, it is obvious that everyone else is delusional...:biggrin:

think about it, you are dispagaging an article that is just asking a bunch of questions, it's not trying to say who did it. in fact they are writing in a reasonable way, saying that we need to wait for the investigation. it's your sources that are jumping on 1 explanation, even though no investigation is done yet. so which sources seem more objective in your opinion? the ones talking about Putins missile on the day it happened, or the ones just reporting objectively and saying we have to wait and see? just use your intellect, what seems more objective to you.

do you even know how bad the mainstream media is faring, how low their ratings are? compared to which alternative media is booming, i wonder why? maybe people are sick of being told what to think and believe without evidence.

i do think SativeBreather has a very good point, when they all jump on the same boat and blame the same side, before an investigation has even got underway, you have to wonder. what's the rush to judgment? isn't it more logical to say lets wait and see?

MH-17 Black Boxes Will Be Analyzed In The UK Whose Prime Minister Compares "Russian Aggression" To Nazi Germany

Now that the black boxes from flight MH-17 have been handed over by the Ukraine separatists to Malaysian authorities (somewhat denting the credibility of the fabricated Ukrainian YouTube clip in which the rebels were "instructed" by Moscow to hide the black boxes), there was one question: which impartial entity and/or country would be tasked with an objective retrieval and analysis of the contents. A little while ago we got the answer courtesy of none other than UK Prime Minister David Cameron:

So the Dutch are incapable of analyzing black boxes on their own and needed London's help? Curious.

AP has more:
Britain's prime minister says black boxes from the Malaysia Airlines plane downed in eastern Ukraine will be examined by U.K. air accident investigators.



David Cameron said on Twitter that British experts at the Air Accidents Investigation Branch will retrieve data from the flight recorders for analysis, following a request from the Dutch government.


Earlier Tuesday, pro-Russia separatists in Ukraine handed the two black boxes from Flight 17 over to Malaysian investigators in the city of Donetsk. Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said the handover was part of an agreement he had reached with rebel leader Alexander Borodai.



Najib said the black boxes appeared "to be in good condition."

It remains to be seen if the Air Traffic Control recordings with flight MH17 which as we reported last week were confiscated by the Ukraine secret service, would also be provided to London for a comparable objective inquiry.

In the meantime, we await said "objective" conclusion of what the Farnborough crack investigators uncover, the same investigators from the unquestionably objective UK, whose Prime Minister also made the tape one short hour ago, after he "lost patience with Vladimir Putin’s “bluster and obfuscation” on Monday night and called on Europe to impose “hard-hitting sanctions” on Russia after the downing of Flight MH17. In his strongest intervention since the disaster, which killed 298 people, the Prime Minister invoked the spectre of the Second World War and compared Russia’s aggression to that of Nazi Germany."

Truly impartial objectivity all around.

If there is a reasoned argument somewhere in this^, I ain't seeing it.
Lots of spittle-flecked name calling though, and some people do seem to find that an acceptable alternative these days.

I'm very calm, used to it, so no, no splittle flecked anything here.
And none of it untrue.

Not letting the OSCE in was like 3 or 4 days ago. They have since been permitted limited access. Maybe more since then.

I object to being told that I am asleep, brainwashed, ignorant etc because I have come to a different conclusion to the person delivering the invective.
Yeah, my eyes were "open" when I still believed any old shit that someone with a website or a snappy youtube video with "Lux Aeterna" for the music said. They are still open, but now I view the world through a sceptical lens, with a high UVB(Unbelievable Vacuous Bollocks) filter rating.

LOL deleting my last post.

Go on then, enlighten me, which TOU did my post break.

EDIT. I jumped the gun with the snark. I'm leaving it up though because I said it and I don't like to look like I'm covering my tracks. My apologies.

it's amazing that just saying lets wait for the official investigation is seen as believing in conspiracy theories. to me it's just about staying objective. this event can lead to a world war, whats the rush to judgment about? sorry but i'm not keen on having another world war, specially not based on a lie. so lets really be sure first. i know we don't learn about it in school, but we don't need another Lusitania, or golf of Tonkin. like i say i'm shocked to see the US president reacting like the worst news pundit and basing his arguments on you tube videos and social media posts. where is the presidential dignity, why is he stoking the fires of war instead of letting an investigation take place before making his decision? am i really the only person that thinks this is worrying.

not at all. smaller squabbles than this stated WW1, & the way it ended & how the Allies treated Germany afterwards were the seeds that started WW2. I, for one, am not surprised at anything our idiot president says or does. the "rush to judgement" on here anyway, was partly a result of some folks yelling "false flag" at every intimation that it might be the rebels. if one side will not even consider evidence, you can blow off the other side trying to be objective. when & if they ever show radar & satellite footage showing where the missile came from, the world will know. BUT, it may never be made public because disclosing it would reveal one sides capabilities to the other. personally, I think there are several countries whose military could show you within a mile or so of where flight 370 went in at too....but they are NOT going to lay their cards on the table without a damn good reason.

Malaysian Airlines has re-routed its commercial flight paths over Syria now that Ukranian airspace is closed... Other Airlines use an air corridor over Turkey between Syria and Azerbaijan.
http://in.reuters.com/article/2014/07/21/ukraine-crisis-malay-airline-idINKBN0FQ11R20140721

isn't there a war going on there too? is fuel so expensive that they continue to put passengers at risk after losing two planes in a matter of months ? I think I would pick a different airline...:ying:

By the way, they are now saying that it was not a Buk missle, but rather a SA-11 surface-to-air missile. Supposedly, a Russian officer pushed the button that killed 298 innocent civilians.
July 22, 2014 | 9:21am

A Russian military officer personally pushed the launch button on

surface-to-air missiles that blew Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17

out of the sky, a senior Ukrainian official said Tuesday.

The stunning revelation was made by Vitaly Nayda, Ukraine’s

director of informational security, according to CNN.

Moscow-backed separatists in eastern Ukrainehad been blamed for the midair slaughter
that killed 298 people last Thursday.

US intelligence found that a 150-truck convoy — carrying rocket

launchers, tanks and other military hardware — had recently

rolled into rebel-held eastern Ukraine from southwest Russia.

The Russians also provided training in use of these air-defense

systems, according to US intelligence.

But Nayda’s revelation now brings the mass murder directly to

Moscow’s doorstep.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Russia’s fingerprints have been

all over this tragedy from the start. And whether an itchy

Russian trigger finger actually pushed the button is almost

irrelevant, according to McCain, former ranking member of the

Senate Armed Services Committee.

“We know it was Russia that caused this whole turmoil,” McCain

told CNN Tuesday. “Whether it is a Russian [who pushed the

button] or not is really not too vital in deciding that Vladimir

Putin is a KGB colonel and international pariah.”

A train carrying most of the victims’ remains finally arrived in

the government-controlled Ukrainian city of Kharkiv on Tuesday.

Of the nearly 300 Flight MH17 victims, 198 were Dutch citizens,

and Amsterdam expects to have the remains back in the Netherlands

on Wednesday.

“It is our aim — and at the moment our expectation — that

sometime tomorrow, the first plane carrying victims will leave

for Eindhoven,” said Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte.

Later, the following story emerged:

"The United States hasn’t found proof of direct Russian government involvement in shooting down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 — but senior intelligence officials on Tuesday blamed Moscow for supplying the missile.

Officials said Russia “created the conditions” that led to the deadly attack by arming the Ukrainian rebels suspected of firing the SA-11 surface-to-air missile that blew the Boeing 777 out of the sky on Thursday.

One official also said the passenger plane was most likely shot down “by mistake” — killing all 298 people aboard and sparking an ongoing crisis.

The officials said they didn’t know if any Russians were present when the weapon was fired, or who pushed the button.

“We don’t know a name, we don’t know a rank and we’re not even 100 percent sure of a nationality,” one official said.
“There is not going to be a Perry Mason moment here.”

Earlier in the day, a Ukrainian official said the missile was “absolutely” fired by a Russian.

Vitaly Nayda, Ukraine’s director of informational security, told CNN that his government “taped conversations” of a Russian officer with his office in Moscow “several minutes before the missile was launched.”

“They knew the plane was coming with constant speed, in constant direction,” Nayda said.

Meanwhile, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said the aircraft’s wreckage had been tampered with “on an industrial scale,” noting darkly, “After the crime, comes the coverup.”

Col. Andriy Lysenko of the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council also alleged that Russian military operatives had “worked at the crash site under the guise of civilians.”

European monitors saw men in uniforms use power tools to chop up remnants of the passenger plane, a spokesman for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe said.

“The rear part of the aircraft, one of the biggest intact pieces, has definitely been hacked into,” OSCE spokesman Michael Bociurkiw said.

He added that “a diesel-powered saw” was used to cut apart the cockpit, possibly in a legitimate effort to recover bodies.

Also Tuesday, a Dutch official questioned if all 282 bodies purportedly turned over by rebels arrived by train in the government-controlled Ukrainian city of Kharkiv.

Jan Tuinder, head of a forensics body-recovery team, said investigators would return to the crash scene to search for more remains, the BBC reported.

One thing not in dispute: Ukranian military are destroying/tampering with evidence.
Story continues to change/evolve......

Armedoldhippy: Yes there is. I also posted the alternative routes other airlines are flying which bypass Syria. That Malaysian Airlines would fly over another war zone when an alternative route is so close by was so dumbfounding that I thought I would share the incredulity.

I share it with you, bro. I guess they gotta show a profit somehow after losing two multi-million dollar jets & nearly 600 passengers whose families are going to sue them back into the stone age. I'm still looking for published radar tracking/satellite pix of the missile launch. it may take weeks/months before they figure out how to do it & not reveal the sensitivity /resolution of the cameras involved. giving up info like that will not bring any passengers back to life & could bite you in the ass in the future if you were watching for missiles headed YOUR direction, something that both Russia & the US worry about.:ying: only thing I have found is butt-bite Biden saying they came from rebel-held territory & conspiracy nuts on alt news sources claiming that they have a un-named source who knows a guy that blah blah blah. still no film footage up that I have seen.

US State Department "Confident" MH17 "Mistakenly" Downed By Separatists, Finds No Direct Link To Russia

.
UPDATE: Having failed absymally with their earlier release of "information," US intelligence officials have tried to give more information... sadly this does not include any actual evidence, just statements and confirmation of YouTube clips...

Via WaPo,
Senior U.S. intelligence officials cited sensors that traced the path of the missile, shrapnel markings on the downed aircraft, voiceprint analysis of separatists claiming credit for the strike, and a flood of photos and other data from social media sites.



The officials also for the first time identified a sprawling Russian military installation near the city of Rostov as the main conduit of Russian support to separatists in Ukraine, describing it as a hub of training and weapons that has expanded dramatically over the past month. The officials said that tanks, rocket launchers and other arms have continued to flow into Ukraine



...



Senior U.S. intelligence officials said they have ruled out the possibility that Ukrainian forces were responsible for the attack.



“That is not a plausible scenario,” said one senior U.S. official, who noted that American intelligence agencies have confirmed that Ukraine had no anti-aircraft missile system within range of the Malaysian flight at the time it was struck.



...



The official was one of three senior U.S. intelligence officials who spoke on condition of anonymity during a briefing arranged for reporters in Washington



...



“We are seeing a full-court press by the Russian government to instruct affiliated or friendly elements to manipulate the media environment to spread Russia’s version of the story,” the official said. “What this looks like again is a classic case of blaming the victims.”



...



The officials also declined to provide more details on the satellites and other sophisticated sensors that enabled them to trace the path of the missile, citing concerns about compromising secret U.S. capabilities.



...



The U.S. officials said they have confirmed the authenticity of some of those recordings, including one in which the self-proclaimed defense minister of the Donetsk People’s Republic, Igor Strelkov, claimed responsibility for shooting down a military transport plane at the time the Malaysian aircraft was struck.



Analysis comparing that audio clip to other confirmed recordings of Strelkov’s voice “confirmed these were authentic conversations,” one of the officials said.



...



“If you listen to Youtube you get that: ‘we’re finding civilians,’” a senior U.S. intelligence official said. Partly for that reason, the official said, “the most plausible explanation to me is [it was] a mistake.”

So once again no actual evidence... conjecture on 'unknown' recordings provided by Ukraine (ignoring for a moment the fact that the ones that have been released publicly have been proved false). Illustrations of a large Russian military base near the border of Ukraine... well is anyone surprised by that?





With a somewhat shocking lack of evidence, AP reports that US officials (on condition of anonymity) have stated that intelligence suggests Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 was mistakenly shot down by separatists and can find no link to Russia.

However, the unnamed non-proof-providing officials believed Russia "created the conditions" for the downing of MH17. For now there is not even a YouTube clip to confirm this... as officials do not make the new technical evidence public...

No direct Russian role in MH17 downing -- US intel
[YOUTUBEIF]BqC1w0cuoFk[/YOUTUBEIF]

As opposed to Russia's detailed 30-minute press conference,

•U.S. INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS DID NOT MAKE PUBLIC NEW TECHNICAL EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT ASSERTION THAT PLANE WAS DOWNED BY SA-11 MISSILE OR THAT MISSILE WAS FIRED BY SEPARATISTS
•U.S. INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS SAY THEY BELIEVE PRO-RUSSIAN SEPARATISTS PROBABLY SHOT DOWN MALAYSIAN PASSENGER AIRLINER “BY MISTAKE"


As Bloomberg notes,

•OFFICIALS DISCUSS MH17 INTELLIGENCE ON CONDITION OF ANONYMITY
•U.S. CITES CLASSIFIED IMAGES MAKING CASE ON MH17 SHOOTDOWN
•U.S. OFFICIALS CONFIDENT IN DETECTION OF JULY 17 MISSILE LAUNCH
AP reports,

Senior U.S. intelligence officials say they have no evidence of direct Russian government involvement in the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.



They say the passenger jet was likely felled by an SA-11 surface-to-air missile fired by Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine and that Russia "created the conditions" for the downing by arming the separatists.



The officials briefed reporters Tuesday under ground rules that their names not be used in discussing intelligence related to last week's air disaster, which killed 298 people.



They said they did not know if any Russians were present at the missile launch, and they wouldn't say that the missile crew was trained in Russia.

So it seems like all we have is...
( Picture )

h/t @BarbaraStarrCNN

Which is right in the heart of separatist-held territory...

( Picture )



Satellite image shows spread of debris from Malaysia Airlines flight

( Picture )


So - to sum up - having told the world that they would release details surrounding intelligence about the MH17 disaster, US officials have pulled a "trust us" moment... blamed the "terrorists" and given themselves an out with Putin... all with absolutely no public proof whatsoever...

* * *

Which leaves us with one question - What happened between The White House and Putin (and perhaps Merkel) that ended with this lowering the tone of the debate?

man the nyt articles just scream speculative bs. first the black boxes were being sent to moscow, then some 30 bodies were being sent to Moscow, then investigators were kept away, but they say they weren't, they show footage of a rebel picking up a teddy and show a pic saying hes looting, then they show a pic of someone opening luggage, again a looter, turns out it was an investigator looking for id documents, then they claim certain missiles were smuggled back to Russia, when it turns out they were filmed in a city that under government control in Ukraine, they claim a recording between rebels proves it, then we find out the recording is manipulated and pieces together from past radio communications after knocking down the military planes. there comes a point where you have to ask yourself if you really want to take such people at their word.

Mccain is te biggest war monger out there, he hates Putin with a personal passion. he's also show such terrible judgment in the past that him saying it is so, should sow more doubt, lol.

btw Retro, the sa11 is the nato name for the buk if im not mistaken.

some more thoughts on all this

some more thoughts on all this

the Russians actually showed some satellite images showing the buk missile system belonging to Ukraine deployed in good positions to do the deed, it also shows the storage area where they are normally kept and how one unit disappears from the parking lot a short while before the event. one should also ask one self, if the missile system in the film about the supposed border crossing of the buk system, is not a Russian buk system, or on Russian territory, but actually in government held territory in Ukraine, then why oh why is there 1 missile missing from that government controlled system? this was being asked when it was thought to be a Russian system, but now we now it was Ukrainian, no one is interested what happened to the missile thats missing?

link to the Russian preliminary investigation, very important to read, you do not know the Russian position if you have not read this. what the media claims as the Russian position is just more made up bs. the Russians have not actually got a position or a take yet.

http://themillenniumreport.com/2014...n-close-approach-to-mh17-before-crash-moscow/

one thing no one has mentioned yet, is the war games that were being held on the black sea involving the Ukrainian military. these exercises finished on the day the plane was shot down. do you know what was the purpose officially of this war exercise? well it was about watching and controlling international civilian passenger jets. i don't remember the exact designation, but the name says it all.

so despite all this they have not shown one image to back up their speculations. they had a satellite pointed right at the event, but not one pic has been forthcoming, why?

if you think about it the only reason to rush to judgment is to try and influence public opinion. in the old days presidents used to say things like; this is a terrible tragedy and we must find out exactly what happened, we must make sure not react to speculation and accusations and wait for the evidence to tell the story. now it's like, what happened, oh the Russians did it believe me i know, can't show you any proof, but i know its so, i have a mountain of evidence, so i have to be right, but i can't show you evidence as it's all in the news and social media anyway, who needs to investigate and show proof, we know.......LMAO.

but some how or other, people are swallowing this.

and even still i'm ready to believe it was the Russians or the rebels, but i'd like to see some proof that stands up to closer examination. what a terrible thing to ask i know.
