As you know Malaysian Airlines MH17 was shot down last week killing close to 300 people including very prominent AIDS researchers and even someone who was working on anti-cancer drugs which was reported in various media including the CBC http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/malaysia-airlines-flight-mh17-aids-scientists-jeop-lange... and my sympathies to their families
I saw reports that the Ukraine Air Traffic control told them to fly lower http://www.prisonplanet.com/ukraine-air-traffic-controllers-instructed-mh17-to-fly-lower... as Malaysia Airlines in this reprot was told to fly at 33,000 ft just skimming 1000 ft above the restricted air altitude
and the report shows how they requested 35,000 ft and has raised questions as to why they were told to do this and it makes no sense to me either why you would tell them to fly at that height but also why were they diverted over a war zone in the first place when reports show that the FAA months back told US bound planes not to fly over Ukraine
But what is also interesting is how quickly the US blamed Russia despite their evidence being from youtube and social media http://www.infowars.com/u-s-admits-mh17-evidence-is-based-on-youtube-clips... which in the video you will see an intense exchange with AP reporter Matt Lee and US State Department Spokesperson Marie Harf Lee who basically cornered Harf into admitting their so called evidence presented by the United States to blame Russian backed rebels for the shoot down of MH17 was all based on youtube clips and social media posts
The reporter begins by asking how the US planned on showing their "forensic evidence" proving it was Russian backed rebels to which she reeled off talking points and later stated "we know, we saw in social media afterwards...of the pro-Russian separatists bragging about shooting down an aircraft"
and so on and so forth I have to give Lee credit for doing his job and asking the tough questions given that challenging the official narrative behind the MH17 shootdown is really backed up by nothing more than flimsy evidence and has been demonized as "Russian propaganda" just like when the chemical attacks in Syria last year were falsely blamed on the Assad regime when it was the western backed rebels in Syria that launched those chemical attacks
And the youtube video showing of a conversation between a separatist leader and a Russian Military commander which purported to show that it was the rebels who were responsible according to audio experts was an outright fraud
Even while Russia has provided evidence from actual radar and satellite evidence to show that Ukrainian fighter jets were following the doomed plane
Kiev and Washington blamed it on Russian separatists with flimsy evidence from youtube and social media while Russia seems to be the only ones who have provided something concrete and also the article shows how Kiev failed to release the air traffic control recordings because they were confiscated by Ukrainian security forces and this could have offered insight into what the hell really happened but it is clear they have something to hide and that should disturbs us all
My own take is based on all of this I think that this plane was a target given the high level aids researchers and the fact the recordings were confiscated illustrates to me that they are trying to cover up that evidence and that is just wrong and only fuels my own suspicions that there is more than what they are telling us
