    Again you seem to be contradicting yourself.
    You say that they are discretely using secret numbers.
    But you are also saying that you know the numbers and that they are obvious.

    Could you explain that the inherent power of number is?

    I don't see any contradiction. If the German army were sending out coded messages over radio signals during WWII and there is a team in Bletchley Park who have decoded the messages it isn't a contradiction.

    That might be so if he didn't both say they were trying to be discreet as well as say they were deliberately being obvious.
    That is a contradiction.

    This also assumes that there is something to be decoded in the first place.

    I have also read that an identical twin to the same Malaysian Boeing 747, was found in a storage hanger in Tel Aviv.
    Hmmm.....
    Who was on the plane?
    Top researchers and scientists for Special Ops Military.
    All Specializing in Weapons Cloaking Technology

    Patents co owned with Rothschild
    Until the plane went down...
    He now owns it all.

    Hmmmm....

    Russian report now stating it was shot down by a fighter jet.

    Russian state-controlled TV has broadcast what it called "sensational" photographs, which it said supported Moscow's theory that Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was shot down by a Ukrainian fighter jet.

    I stopped taking that piece seriously after the part in bold

    It actually got funnier after that:
    Bellingcat, a British investigative journalism website, described the photographs as "a crude fabrication", highlighting what it said were several inconsistencies, which included signs that the photos had been partly compiled from historical Google Earth imagery dating from 2012.

    I'm not really following this CT much but the tiniest bit of googling would show that the photo is a wopper of a fake.

    Given how easily it can be shown to be a fake, I can only assume that anyone presenting this photo as evidence for anything is attempting to deceive - I highly doubt anyone could be so gullible as to believe that the image is genuine.

    After 17 months, wreckage of a Boeing 777 is being recovered - most likely from flight 370.

    The next few weeks should be interesting in this case, but by the looks of it - the plane hit the Indian Ocean, whether it was a mid-air explosion or something else remains to be seen, this paragraph caught my eye though
    If the serial number on the flaperon confirms that it is from Flight 370, then the laboratory can use sophisticated tools to try to glean more information about the causes of the crash, such as whether its shape corresponds more to a mid-air explosion or a crash into the ocean.

    It's reported in RT that Putin's plane was in the vicinity of the Malaysian jet when it was shot down.

    Being shot down by mistake when the real target is Putin seems a more likely theory than some of the clutching at straws here.

    I was going to post that about Putin being either 20 mins ahead or behind the Maylasian plane that was shot down. Also, it seems a pilot has been recorded stating, very nervously, something to the effect that he shot the wrong plane....I will see if I can find a link, not saying I necessarily believe it is/isn't a fake.

    I do believe the US would certainly assasinate Putin if they could, no wonder he went to that G8 thing surrounded by navy ships. Putin, in a fair fight, would wipe the American military's eye everytime, he one shrewd crafty operator.

    I doibt very much that it was a botched assassination of putin by ukraine or the US. There are easier and less obviously stupid ways of doing things. Nervous rebels newly trained on a surface to air missile system with itchy trigger fingers messed up and launched a missile at a far away target maybe another plane and then shot the airliner down. Interesting to see the dutch report out next week

    Have the US not armed or at least funded for the arming of "Rebels". Just out of interest,are you pro-US ,or pro Russian, or neutral,. my own view is that the US/NATO etc will do anything to paint a negative impression of Russia

    I consider myself neutral .. US invasion in Iraq was reprihensible .. It opened my eyes as to what you can get away with ... Now I suspect some Russian involvement ..... Geo politics are a nasty buiseness..

    But to come back to the discussion .. I have seen no evidence of "western hardware" being used in Ukraine directly linked to mh17 ...

    Russian involvement in what? The MH17? And from what evidence do you suspect it?

    Just a hunch regarding MH17 ..

    Only verifiable fact that will come out of it would be it was Russian made ... But that of course does not say the Russians did it


  • Registered Users Posts: 943 ✭✭✭SNAKEDOC


    I personally think it was one big **** up by rebels trained by russian army regulars who supplied anti aircraft batteries to them to be used against soviet built aircraft that the ukrianian air force were using against the rebels. Russia wanted ukraine back so funded and supplied rebels no big secret there when russian soldiers families were being given fantasy stories about how they died when they were " on leave" rebels get anxious let fly with a missile during a period where there are several aircraft over head maybe they were targeting a fighter who knows but it wnded up bringing down a passenger liner. Thats story one.
    Ukraine pissed at the rebels decide to bring down a plane and blame the rebels so wait for a liner close to the no fly heigjt limit mh17 was 1000 feet above limit of 32,000 and bring it down over an area where a buk has being spotted. Problem is any investigation will be able to destinguish between an air to air shot and a land based missile by the damage. So story two is less likely.
    i believe these are the only two possible explainations and the first will more than likely be the official findings of any report. Land based buk fired by total amateurs ending in diseaster.

    It was never in any doubt. The question now though is whether regular Russian forces brought down MH17 or rather irregular pro Russian separatists manning the BUK launcher. The latter is quite likely as well given that many Russian "rebels" came from Russia and were formerly in the Soviet/Russian army. Many are also veterans of the Afghan War.

    My view is that it was shot down by a Russian crew

    This system was only in Ukraine for a short while ....

    Or a mix of both, with Russian military "advisers" overseeing Russian rebels operating the BUK. The launcher in question vanished back into Russia fairly quickly afterwards.

    I think it takes months to train up a crew ... Add, that according to bellingcat this system only entered Ukraine a day or so prior to the shooting down I believe it was a well trained Russian crew

    It should be remembered that many of these so-called "rebels" are Soviet Army veterans that fought in Afghanistan who'd have experience with such anti-air platforms. It's equally likely that a Russian regular crew manned the BUK that shot down MH17 as a "rebel" crew. Not that it matters, both the "rebel" army and Russian forces are under the control of the Kremlin. Ultimately it is the Kremlin that is to blame for the deaths of those 298 civilians on flight MH17.


  • Registered Users Posts: 943 ✭✭✭SNAKEDOC


    For those saying rebels could have shot it down you have to remember those missile systems are very complex weapons systems and a former soldier from afgan twenty years ago isnt goin to be able to jump into it and loose off a missile it takes a team of guys working in sincrony to accuire a target lovk on and arm the missile track the target and fire. It takes a massive amount of training and even then it is complicated. I dont believe it was anything leas than a rebel unit commanded by very highly knowledgable russian forces or a russian unit itself who fired the missile. The plane was taken down from 32,000 feet by one missile so by all accounts an experienced crew.

    Saying it was never in any doubt doesn't mean a thing. You don't know who did it and you have no proof who did it. The people who have the proof who did it are not making that proof available because it somehow undercuts who they are claiming did.

    If you say you've got proof of something and refuse to reveal it then chances are only 2 possibilities, 1. You don't have proof OR 2. what you have proves something different.

    For the record, the investigation found that the only BUK systems in Eastern Ukraine, the area where they claim the missile was launched were in Ukrainian hands. Nobody else. Unless you are now going to state that your intelligence is better than theirs and that the rebels possess some kind of sophisticated cloaking technology, haha.

    This is like the Chilcot inquiry. It will be swept under the rug and no evidence will be forthcoming...only allusion for gullible people like you. The truth might partly come out in 15 years when all the parties have left the stage, kinda like bloody Sunday and then the perps will claim an accident or something and that I'm quite confident will be the Ukrainians.

    Not only that but the investigation determined that the only BUK systems in the area of the launch were in Ukrainian hands. Also the "Russia did it gang" explain that the Ukrainians couldn't have done it because the rebels don't have an airforce ergo they couldn't have done it. How's that for mentally retarded logic? :pac:

    Really? That would make the youngest of them probably over 50 years old. And the ones who were in afghanistan at the start and were experienced soldiers and officers pushing sixty to seventy.
    Any more made up bullsh1t theories? Pensioners waging a guerilla war against an army with tanks and gunships and bombers and attack aircraft and knocking airliners out of the sky :pac:

    Are you aware that the missile that allegedly struck the MH-17 was last produced in 1986 and completely decommissioned from the Russian Army in 2011. Are you maintaining that they brought a system that they no longer used into Ukraine?

    Can you point to a reputable source stating this

    All i hear and see are your opinions countering actual evidence ...

    Just to add
    The crash of flight MH17 on 17 July 2014 was caused by the detonation of a 9N314M-type warhead launched from the eastern part of Ukraine using a Buk missile system

    How does almaz aty explain the bow-tie and cubes fragments that were found in the wreckage and bodies of the crew ? These shape of fragments are only used on 9N314M-type warheads

    And the commision did not Ignore the Almazaty findings evident on page 144 of the report

    But hey if its in the Belfast telegraph you must be right :o

    Maybe you should familiarize yourself with both the bellincat and the dutch report ... They are full of actual evidence and facts.
