    Does the Convention on Civil Aviation say anything about secrecy pacts signed by countries involved in investigating an air crash?
    Before the usual suspects make the predictable tin foil accusations note that the Netherland's government did not deny that such a pact exists.


    https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2014/11/22/mh17-n22.html


    From your link
    Asked about Russian allegations that a Ukrainian fighter jet shot down MH17, Westerbeke refused to deny them. He stated that, “a shooting down by a surface-to-air missile remains the most likely scenario.

    :rolleyes:

    Here's an interesting read on the Russian operation on muddying the waters

    Very interesting read and so true
    In the end, the “white noise” method may be effective abroad as well, helping to end possibilities of bringing those guilty to justice

    Evident here in different threads ;)

    I notice the Guardian is reporting that the pilot's body was "interfered" with and shrapnel was removed? If anyone can find where the report said this please post a link. Thanks.
    Page 84
    I see the Guardian made an "error".

    So all the western worlds privately owned media are ganging up together to present a unified narrative on this whole situation. Where do they formulate their "evil" agenda. Is there like a secret mountain base? Is their leader a safari suited bald guy who likes to pet Persian cats ;)

    The only thing the vast majority of these organisations agree on is making money and if there is a story that gives them a jump over all the others they will run with it. If you honestly believe that they will shelve a massive story like this or mold it under instructions then you have serious reality issues.

    Matt Cooper explained it rather well on the radio a few weeks ago, referring to his time in the Sunday Tribune - which at the time was surviving on handout's from O'Reilly's INM.

    He said that Corporate journalists don't have to be instructed not to annoy the hand that feeds; you simply don't get to be an editor who decides what's published if you do.

    MSM hacks therefore self select for defence of their Corporate/Oligarch interests just as surely as the journalists in RT do.

    Will we have to wait this long for the truth to come out about MH17and MH370 ?

    "Back in 1983, the US secretly informed Japan that a Korean Air Boeing-747 was downed over the Soviet Union by mistake, a declassified document reveals. Officially, Washington always accused Moscow of intentionally shooting down the passenger jet".

    "For decades, Washington and the international community have been insisting that the catastrophe that claimed 269 lives took place because Soviet Air Force deliberately shot down the passenger liner".

    So we've always known russia shot down the kal flight ,
    And the first part of the MH17 investigation was published in October and the 2nd part the criminal investigation is due in February 2016.

    And it wasn't an accident the Kal flight could easily have been identified by its lit up tail ,
    Add the fact the Russian aircraft fired it's machine guns it had no tracer rounds so the kal crew wouldn't have ever seen the warning shots .
    Posted the actual transcript of the incident a while back

    Well, given the Ukrainian "security services" and the Dutch investigators were so busy selling off parts of the evidence, maybe never - at least officially!

    You should read the article in full.

    "On September 1, 1983, Korean Air flight KE007 undertook its regular route from New York to Seoul via Anchorage, Alaska.

    After taking off from Anchorage, the Boeing held a course for the South Korean capital, but for some still not decisively known reason severely, by 500km, deviated from its course, flying over the Kamchatka Peninsula and Sakhalin, territories where the Soviet Union had multiple military bases and other secretive installations.

    It must be noted that KE007 was approaching Soviet airspace simultaneously with a Boeing RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft, and at a certain point the radar marks of the two aircraft merged. Later on, one of these marks on military radars entered Soviet airspace.

    Throughout the flight, the KAL Boeing was flying with navigation lights out and withstood from establishing radio contact with the Soviet Sukhoi Su-15 fighter jets that took off to intercept the intruder, with the intention to force it make a landing on a Soviet airfield.

    The Soviet military pilots that approached the intruder could not identify the aircraft visually from a distance of several kilometers because it was too dark and they could not believe that a plane without identification that had just passed a restricted airspace over Kamchatka could be some sort of passenger liner.

    Once it became obvious that the suspected reconnaissance aircraft was going to escape with the data obtained, the Soviet pilots were ordered to shoot down the intruder aircraft".

    Indeed, and Ireland, which was later to facilitate US War Crimes for decades in Shannon, actually shut the Airport down to Soviet civilian aircraft re-fuelling in protest at the "deliberate shooting down" of the spy plane.

    It didn't take post 9/11 actions to trash our imaginary "neutrality" or our very selective support for International Law! :rolleyes:

    The pilot of the fighter jet recognised the Boeing as a civilian aircraft but took the shot nonetheless .. And then the order to shoot it down even over neutral territory

    Bellingcat investigation

    https://www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-europe/2015/10/08/mh17-the-open-source-evidence/
    Summary

    Based on the information above, it can be concluded that on July 17, 2014 a Buk missile launcher, originating from the 53rd Brigade near Kursk, Russia, travelled from Donetsk to Snizhne. It was then unloaded and drove under its own power to a field south of Snizhne, where at approximately 4:20 pm it launched a surface-to-air missile that hit Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 as it flew over Ukraine. On the morning of July 18, the Buk missile launcher was driven from Luhansk, Ukraine, across the border to Russia.

    Alternative scenarios presented by the Russian Ministry of Defense and Almaz-Antey are at best deeply flawed, and at worst show a deliberate attempt to mislead using fabricated evidence.

    In fairness, they have done a good job at convincing a lot of people in the West that Russia is actually a half normal country. They have shaped opinion and many people in the west are easily led, especially on social media.

    The Russians have in my opinion won most of the important propaganda battles recently.

    They give great value for money; a true Public Service that highlights all sorts of facts and issues our Western State and Corporate media would rather we ignore - RT is a win-win for all of us.

    I just wish with their vast resources the Chinese could develop a fraction as influential and effective and outlet.

    It would be interesting to get their take on MH-17, given their own experience with Malaysian Airlines.
