The Ukrainian government on Saturday also provided new details about the missile attack on the passenger jet, saying the rocket was fired from a BUK-M1 antiaircraft system in the town of Snizhne, about 12 miles from the Russian border.
Vitaly Nayda, the head of counterintelligence for the Ukrainian State Security Service, said at a news conference that separatist rebels had been in possession of at least three BUK-M1 systems, and that after the Flight 17 disaster had taken them across the border into Russia . “We have identified the place from which they launched that missile,” Mr. Nayda said. “That area where they launched the missile was under control of terrorist organizations.”
Officials were certain, he said, that the rebels knew they were aiming at a plane flying above 10,000 meters, or 32,800 feet. While this is in the range of a passenger jet’s normal cruising altitude, he also said that Ukrainian military aircraft sometimes fly that high. “There is no doubt that terrorists knew that they had launched a missile against a plane that was higher than 10,000 meters,” Mr. Nayda said, adding, “We know for sure that the terrorists have the plan to shoot down every military plane, every military plane, even cargo plane, every helicopter, in the air over Donetsk and Luhansk regions.”
Speaking in Kiev, the capital, Mr. Nayda presented photographs that he said showed the BUK-M1 systems in Donetsk, as well as on the road toward Russia. He said that at 2 a.m. on Friday -- less than 12 hours after the Malaysian jet fell from the skies -- two BUK-M1 systems were taken across the border into Russia and that a third was taken across the border at 4 a.m. along with a vehicle used to help operate the surface-to-air missile system.This is all fantastic bullshit of course. What we are now witnessing is a propaganda bum rush where the U.S. and its fascist concoction in Kiev are attempting to stampede public opinion towards the blame of Russia. The target audience here is Europe. It is settled wisdom that in a public opinion campaign the side that can shape the narrative first is the side that wins. Regardless of the eventual outcome of the investigation as to what caused the Boeing 777 to blow apart in midair and who is responsible, if the U.S. gets out front first it controls the story.
We saw the exact thing happen with the Ghouta chemical attack last August. Obama came forth stridently and assured the public the Assad regime was to blame. There was no question. The Syrian government fired sarin-laden missiles at its own people, slaughtering innocent women and children. When Obama's ironclad guarantees of Assad's guilt collapsed, when evidence emerged that Jihadis had access to sarin, was there any mea culpa by the administration? Of course not. The U.S. is doing the same thing now with Flight 17.
The Saker has a good overview of what is happening in his post, "Memories, recollections, guesses and speculations about MH17," the first paragraph of which reads:
I think that any analysis of the events surrounding the downing of MH17 should begin with the following admission: no matter what, the AngloZionists will blame Russia. Just like 9/11, there is no way, no amount of evidence, which would affect the unanimous chorus of Imperial doubleplusgoodthinkers in their conclusion that obviously it could only have been "the Russians". So don't expect to come across The Proof which will prove that the Empire is lying because if 9/11 proved anything it is that even hard, undeniable truth can be easily ignored by the elites and their media.In the meantime, to help relax on this Saturday, check out Gonjasufi's 2010 full-length release, A Sufi and a Killer. Gonjasufi, a.k.a., Sumach Ecks, a Las Vegas yoga instructor, produces lo-fi trip hop that is soothing and quiet. I think you will enjoy it. Recently, the whole album was available to stream for free on YouTube. But now I can only find individual tracks. "Kowboyz&indians," though not my favorite, is usually the cut that is selected:
