Op-ed: MH-17 ... searching for the truth
Op-ed:
MH-17...Searching for the Truth By: Diane Sori and Craig Andresen
On July 17th another Malaysian plane...MH-17... went down but this time it
was different. Different than MH-370 in that this one did indeed crash.
However, crashing is NOT what makes this different...being shot down out
of the sky does. While early reports have everyone blaming Vladimir Putin or Russia for
this take down there are a few things that just do NOT add up. First, Putin was the one who told Obama that a plane was down and
that in and of itself seems an odd thing for someone supposedly involved
to have done. What's even odder is that Obama was fast to accuse Putin
of downing the plane before the debris of the plane even had a chance
for its fires to die down.
The
more we learn...in mere bits and pieces...the more questions are
raised. Questions like...was this an actual surface-to-air take down or
was this done by an air-to air-missile? The actual flight path as compared to what should have been the
flight path was changed. According to Malaysian air officials, the
common route for these planes traveling to Asia would have been about
200 miles south of the flight path this plane was on. Malaysian Air is
saying that air traffic control out of Kiev moved MH-17 to a flight path
200 miles north of the one normally used which sent MH-17 directly over
the war zone, an alteration probably done while the plane was still in
Polish airspace.
Why did they move this plane 200 miles north over the exact area
where other military planes had recently been shot down? Part of
the problem is that the Kiev government has reportedly seized those
records from air traffic control so we might NEVER know.
Another
part of the problem is that air traffic control knew damn
well this was a civilian airliner and NOT a military plane yet they
diverted it over rebel held territory, which raises the question of why
would Ukrainian officials send a civilian plane over enemy territory? One
possibility is that this was a deliberate set-up done
specifically to create collateral damage which would then be used to
defame Putin. And worse yet, could Obama have been part of NOT the take
down itself but in setting the blame game stage, especially since he
has been 'neutered' so to speak on the international stage by Putin.
Remember, Obama rushed to judgment, blaming Putin based on supposed
'classified
intel’ before any official investigation had begun. And then there was
something he said, something that even at the time seemed to be a
preemptive strike should the truth start to leak out. “Our immediate focus will be on recovering those who were lost,
investigating exactly what happened and putting forward the facts. And I
want to point out there will likely be misinformation as well. I think
it’s very important for folks to sift through what is factually based
and what is simply speculation,” Obama said.
Recovering those lost was Obama's primary goal NOT getting to the truth...more like silencing the truth if you ask us. Now
more questions...if this was a Buk missile it would have been an
SA-11, and according to Jane's Digest...the military weapons digest...to
track, lock on, and fire you need a minimum of 5-1/2 minutes. Then you
need a visual on the target, and while the SA-11 is guided by radar, you
still have to have a visual on the target. MH-17 was a Boeing 777,
which we
know was at cruising altitude of 33,000 feet and flying at a speed of
about 580 ground miles per hour. Because of the flight path and where it
was shot down, the plane would only have been over the target area for
about a minute and ten seconds, so…if this was a surface-to-air missile
how did they manage to track it for the required minimum time or get a
visual on it, especially on what was obviously a cloudy, overcast day as
can be clearly seen in the videos of the explosion? That's what's making us think that there's a better likelihood that
this was an air-to-air missile and NOT a ground-to-air missile. But
what of the SAM...the SA-11 that was reportedly fired? We know for
a fact that Ukraine has had several military aircraft, both fighters
and cargo aircraft, shot down in that very area so somebody is most
definitely firing missiles but...what if this was an attempt to shoot
down yet another ‘military aircraft’ and MH-17 was a case of mistaken
identity. Could the separatists have mistaken a Ukrainian fighter jet
tailing a civilian aircraft for a Ukrainian fighter escorting a
Ukrainian cargo jet...that is indeed a likely possibility...and a
heat-seeking SA-11 would have targeted the greatest heat source...the
exploding MH-17. Seen so briefly on the overcast day, separatists could very well have
taken a shot as the fighter jet fired at MH-17, and as the SA-11
surface-to-air missiles are heat seekers, the SAM would naturally be
drawn to the exploding jet leaving the initial impression with the
separatists that they had successfully hit their target.
But
even with this possibility, we keep coming back to this very important
fact...Ukraine has the SU-25, a fighter jet that carries air-to-air
missiles. And this fighter jet can gain an altitude of 6.2 plus miles
and is equipped with air-to-air R-60 missiles that can hit a target at a
distance up to 7.4 plus miles.
The R-60 air-to-air
missile, while updated now, is still available in its original form and as the
older version would be less expensive for a struggling nation to purchase. We
believe those to be the missiles that are being used by Ukraine. The R-60 is equipped
with a fragmentation warhead and a proximity fuse NOT at all unlike the warhead
and fuse system used in the SA-11 and either would account for the reported
shrapnel damage to MH-17.
And
this SU-25 jet is what the Russian military said they detected gaining
altitude towards MH-17 on the day of the take down. Here we have a
Ukrainian fighter jet... according to the Russians a mere 2 to 3 miles
away from MH-17...and its presence of the Ukrainian can be confirmed by
video shots made by the Rostov monitoring center. Also, according to
the Russian Defense Ministry, at the moment of the MH-17 crash an
American 'spy' satellite was parked in a geosynchronous orbit that
specific area of eastern Ukraine, and we... the U.S. government...was
asked to publish the space photos and data captured to help show the
truth about who shot down the plane, but to date these photos have NOT
been published. Gee...we wonder why...sarcastically said of course.
However, either scenario...surface-to-air or air-to-air...could have resulted in
the destruction of MH-17 at 33,000 feet and left telltale signs of
shrapnel penetration of the aircraft.
But
why would a Ukrainian fighter jet do this...why would Ukraine do this?
Simply because Ukraine is losing against Russian forces...and losing
big...and desperation could well be setting in is why. What better way
to turn the
world’s public opinion their way than to place the blame for civilian
deaths in such a horrific fashion on Russia...on Putin. Collateral damage is one thing but intentionally caused collateral
damage is something else entirely. But could Ukraine have known ahead of
time from the passenger flight manifest that MH-17 was mostly full of
Europeans, as this too could help rouse Europe against Russia, at least
for the purpose of sanctions. Now that we've presented two possibilities let's look at one quite different from the others
but still something that must be considered in this day and age of muslim terrorists....could MH-17 been brought
down by an internal explosion that just happened to occur at the same time
the rebels were firing their rockets...could this be Lockerbie
revisited? Remember, at this time we've been told a missile was fired but NO one to
date has yet seen the 'classified intel.' Could a bomb have been in the
cargo hold and been on a timer or detonated by someone on board...just
something to think about. And while with Lockerbie terrorists did
immediately take credit for the downing, with MH-17 NO terrorists
have yet piped in, but could...and we only say could...the terrorists
actually be the Ukrainians themselves...again solely to discredit Putin
and the Russians. And remember, NO terrorist group...NO islamic terrorist group...has yet
taken credit for MH-370 which is still missing. Now think of this very
scary thought...isn't it more effective NOT to take credit for a plane's
downing and keep people on edge as it is to run and scream 'we did it.'
The unknown is always more frightening than the known and this would
serve terrorists... jihadis...well...as in keep them guessing...keep
them scared.
But
at this point NO matter who took down MH-17 one thing
remains...Barack HUSSEIN Obama's rush to place the blame on Vladimir
Putin and Russia. Like we've said previously, Putin has totally
emasculated Obama in the eyes of the world. Now Obama is seen NOT as
leading from behind but seen as NOT leading at all. The 'Russian Bear'
is now in a position of strength for while he currently controls the
flow of oil into Europe, with both Ukraine and Crimea brought back into
the 'motherland' he would acquire his much wanted and needed warm water
port on the Black Sea. This NOT only would get Putin even more control
over the flow of oil
into Europe, but would aid him NOT in his rebuilding of the old Soviet
Union
but in his rebuilding of the Russian Empire. This in turn would knock
the U.S. down to the
world's number two superpower with Russia becoming number one. But when all is said and done the take down of MH-17 could very well
be as we are being told (but we doubt it)...as in the separatists shot a surface-to-air
missile and brought this plane down. We are just offering some
alternative scenarios to think about, because when Obama rushes to
judgment, and when the media blindly falls in lockstep with him, our antennas need to
be at full alert. Remember, the last time Obama rushed to judgment was
over a YouTube video and we all know how that turned out now don't we.
