The MH17 Report That Should Have Been

TND Guest Contributor: Russell Bentley |

The Dutch cover up report on MH17 comes out on Monday. Of course, I have not read the final draft yet, because the contents are secret, but I know bullshit when I smell it, and I can smell it all the way from Amsterdam. I do not have to read it to know it is a lie. But I will, and it will be. How can I be so sure? Because I know what happened, I have been told by an eyewitness. But even before that, all the circumstantial evidence really puts the answer beyond any reasonable doubt. And when the Dutch publish their lies on Monday, I expect the Russians will reply with the truth, and with their proof. In the meantime, let’s consider what we already know…

There are already far too many discrepancies for any serious person to give the Dutch “report” any credence, regardless of what it says. If this report was not a cover up, if it actually was concerned with the truth, instead of just being a cover up of an obvious false flag, it would have come out at least a year ago, rather than 16 months after the fact. Why do you think it took so long?

False flags are used by fascist warmongers the way a carpenter uses a hammer. It is one of their primary tools: Gulf of Tonkin, 9/11, Iraqi WMD’s, Syrian sarin, MH17… You don’t have to be a genius to see the pattern here. And many people do. Gone are the days when eyewitnesses in Dealy Plaza or Lower Manhattan will say “I thought I knew what I saw, but after reading the government report, I guess I was wrong.” The Fascists have learned from their past mistakes. The world is much more informed and aware than it was in November ’63 or September 2001. So this time, they take their time to craft their lies carefully, to try and avoid another “magic bullet” or WTC 7. But a lie is still a lie, and the truth will out. Many people around the world are waking up and refusing to believe the lies, and I am sure it will be the same with the MH17 report. But this time, let’s do something about it.

How can I be sure the report will be a lie if I haven’t read it yet? Well, for one thing, the authors of the report have been lying all along, with their leaks and comments and misleading innuendo. This article is an excellent example of what I mean. But even without all these documented falsehoods by the authors, you don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to draw an accurate and obvious conclusion from the circumstances. Let’s do our own investigation of the publicly acknowledged historical facts…

First, always ask “Cui bono”, who benefits?  Certainly not the Russians or the Novorussians. Is it really possible to believe that either would shoot down a civilian airliner on purpose or by accident? On purpose, not possible.It would be suicidal for them, as well as criminally insane to do so. By accident? Do you really think soldiers trained on a sophisticated weapons system like the BUK could not tell the difference between the radar signature of a civilian airliner and a military jet fighter? No, whoever shot MH17 down, knew it was a civilian airliner, and targeted it on purpose, but there are many reasons to doubt it was even shot down by a BUK.

The photographs of the fuselage of MH17’s cockpit are all you really need to see. The perfectly round  30 mm holes can be seen in photos on Google Images . Or listen to what Canadian citizen and OSCE monitor Michael Bociurkiw said, just a few days after the event. Russian military radar detected at least one SU-25 in close proximity to MH17 just before the crash, consistent with eyewitness accounts from people on the ground at the time, including DNP Prime Minister Alexander Zaharshenko (6:14) Interestingly, the Wikipedia and other information sources about SU-25 flight capabilities were edited and changed before July 17th, to reduce the flight ceiling from 10,000 meters to 7,000 meters. The SU-25 CAN fly at 10,000 meters, (10:50) the height that MH17 was at when it was attacked. The SU-25 is armed with two 30 mm cannons. The Ukrainian Air Force has Su-25’s. The DNR does not.

But beyond all the evidence out there for anyone who wants to find it, just ask yourself the obvious questions – why did Yatsenyuk resign less than a week later, only to be ordered to return. Why did it take 16 months for the report to come out, why does the US release meticulous satellite images of Russian forces in Syria, but releases none from Ukraine, when it is a known fact that the US had a satellite over Ukraine when MH17 was shot down? What ever happened to the air traffic control tapes from Kiev ATC, or the air traffic controller Carlos from Spain who tweeted about Ukrainian SBU agents confiscating the tapes minutes after MH17 went down? If the Dutch report does not include US satellite images, info from the Black Boxes (that the DNR turned over to investigators days after they were found), the Kiev ATC tapes, and the info about the metal fragments found in the autopsies of the victims, it is total bullshit. Which is what I expect.

I went to the MH17 crash site a few days ago. I visited two memorials for the 298 victims who were murdered in the skies above Novorussia. Two places where human bodies fell like rain. Innocent men, women, and 80 innocent children, sacrificed by genuine Evil, to perpetuate a lie. As I stood there, I thought to myself that I had never been to the site of a mas murder before, and then it occurred to me that indeed I had. When I was in the US Army, stationed in Germany over 30 years ago, I went to Dachau concentration camp, outside Munich. I did not want to go, but I felt a moral obligation to do so, to look true Evil in the face, to see its work, and I did the same outside Torrez last week, again. And before I went to Torrez, I wondered what kind of person could pull the trigger, sending 298 innocent human beings to their deaths, and standing there at the memorial in GOLOBO, I knew. Those that did this are the same as those who filled the ovens at Dachau, and who burned men, women and children to death on Odessa. Those that can say killing half a million children was “Worth it”, those who can use the words “infinitely easy” and “kill a million people” in the same sentence. Nazis. You know who did this, and so do I. And I understood that those who did this, and those who ordered it to be done, are not human, they are monsters. As are their Dutch lying lackeys who will try to cover up this crime on Monday, October 13th, 2015.

I have been to Amsterdam many times, and have flown out of Schiphol Airport more than once myself. The people who boarded Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 on that terrible day back in 2014 did not think the war in Donbass could ever effect them. It did. Those of us still here must take a lesson from them. Or we too will suffer their fate. There is a war going on, all over the world, right now, today. This war is between Humanity and those who want to exterminate most of us and enslave the rest. Donbass and Syria are the front lines, and what happens in these places will determine the future for us all. Remember that, and think, and engage, with your heart and with your mind. We are all in this together, and the day of reckoning is near. Forego the comforting lie and face the hard truth. The future of Humanity depends upon your doing so.
