Kermit Heartsong - Ukraine - ZBIG's Grand Chess Board & How The West Was Checkmated

The video showing a BUK missile system being driven back across the Russian border was quickly debunked during the Russian military press conference. During the conference, Defence Minister Karatapolov pointed out that a billboard in the background of the supposed BUK missile system headed to Russia, was, in fact, shot in Krasnoarmeisk, Ukraine, which had been under Ukrainian military control since May 11, 2014.

The Western “evidence ,” upon examination, had once again become non-evidence, and was never to be discussed again in polite circles.

One month and a day after the downing of Flight MH17, Russia formally asked the United Nations Security Council, “Where are the ATC records?”

Several months after the downing of Malaysian Flight MH17, the West has barely uttered a word about flight MH17 and the ATC records have still not seen the light of day. Given the tendency of the West to continually blare unsubstantiated and false accusations against Putin, Russia and the Novorossiyans, the silence in the West is deafening. Deafening because of the lack of continuing accusations, given that the West now has actual data sources. This on its face appears quite damning. If the West was, indeed, in possession of forensic evidence that pointed to the culpability of Russia or of the Novorossiya freedom fighters, its reportage would be ceaseless. However, “all is quiet on the Western Front.” But there’s more.

Imagine a scenario wherein the countries conducting the investigation — Ukraine, the Netherlands, Australia and Belgium — sign an agreement wherein any of them can veto the results of the investigation, should they disagree with its conclusion. Further imagine that the country to whom the plane belongs and that is legally responsible for conducting an investigation, Malaysia, is actually denied participation for the first several months of the investigation.

An online article published by Live Journal titled, “The Causes of the MH17 Crash are Classified: Ukraine, Netherlands, Australia, Belgium Signed a Non-disclosure Agreement,” states that any one of the signatories to the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) can actually veto the publication of the black box investigative results of Flight MH17 (Magnay 2014). This should, of course, be troubling to anyone interested in an honest and open investigation.

In direct relation to the Live Journal article, an article in The Australian entitled, “Russians Push Flight MH17 Crash Conspiracy” quoted Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, who stated:

We must not allow the investigation of the MH17 crash to be manipulated into oblivion. No one has told us anything coherent about the reasons why the recordings of the black boxes cannot be released fully. The truth must be revealed. (Magnay 2014)

Why would the West allow countries responsible for investigating the MH17 crash to execute and sign a non-disclosure agreement? What have they to hide? Would they be hiding Russian culpability or, perhaps, their own?

And yes, the Malaysians were, indeed, denied a role in the investigation of the downing of one of their own planes. In the article, “A View from Australia: Why the Secrecy on the MH17 Investigation?” James O’Neill, an Australian barrister and former academic describes the situation:

Under International Air Transport Association rules, the parties responsible for the investigation would be the Malaysians, as owners of the plane and home country of the airline, and the Ukrainians, over whose territory the atrocity occurred. It was the Dutch, however, who took the lead role, citing two facts: the plane had departed from Amsterdam; and they had suffered the largest number of their nationals as victims. The Malaysians were initially excluded from the inquiry for reasons that have never been satisfactorily explained. They were finally invited to join the Joint Inquiry on 2 December 2014. (O’Neill 2014)

How does the denial of participation of the country, Malaysia, legally responsible for the investigation of MH17’s downing square?

The Truth Outs

“The Western intelligence and the Americans are very well aware of all the details: who shot [flight MH17] down, why and what for, but manipulate this information and this incident for their own benefit. This provocation was organized to lay [the blame] on Russia and force it into sending troops to Ukraine, officially, but the Russian government did not succumb to this provocation,”

— Retired Lt. Gen. Nikolai Pushkarev, formerly of the Russian Armed Forces' Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU)

There now appears to be a trail of evidence, that points to alternative culprits responsible for the downing of Flight MH17.

Leaked reports and private testimonies from Western intelligence agents have long pointed to the following scenario, but now there is further proof. An article published August 3, 2014 in ConsortiumNews entitled, “Flight 17 Shoot-Down Scenario Shifts,” by Robert Parry (2014) states:

Contrary to the Obama administration’s public claims blaming eastern Ukrainian rebels and Russia for the shoot-down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, some US intelligence analysts have concluded that the rebels and Russia were likely not at fault and that it appears Ukrainian government forces were to blame, according to a source briefed on these findings. This judgment — at odds with what President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry have expressed publicly — is based largely on the absence of US government evidence that Russia supplied the rebels with a Buk anti-aircraft missile system that would be needed to hit a civilian jetliner flying at 33,000 feet, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity. (Parry 2014)

The interesting parallel here is that this same intelligence community had long discounted the fact that Saddam Hussein had rebuilt his weapons programs or that Iraq had in its possession any Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs). The intelligence community’s information was quickly validated, however, as the Iraq war was enjoined.

A little over a decade later, history repeats itself via the divergent narratives of Western governments: their attendant media versus their own intelligence communities.

According to Michael Bociurkiw, a monitor with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), who was one of the first investigators to reach the crash site and to begin a forensic examination:

There have been two or three pieces of fuselage that have been really pockmarked with what almost looks like machine-gun fire, very very strong machine-gun fire. (CBC News 2014)

Mr. Bociurkiw’s response when asked if he had uncovered any signs of a missile hitting MH17 during the investigation was, “No, we haven’t” (CBC News 2014).

Additional confirmation of machine-gun fire being used to bring down MH17 was provided by Peter Haisenko, a retired Lufthansa pilot, who, after viewing the high-resolution images of the holes in the fuselage, concluded that:

You can see the entry and exit holes. The edge of a portion of the holes is bent inwards. These are the smaller holes, round and clean, showing the entry points most likeley [those] of a 30 millimeter caliber projectile. The edge of the other, the larger and slightly frayed exit holes showing shreds of metal pointing produced by the same caliber projectiles. Moreover, it is evident that these exit holes of the outer layer of the double aluminum reinforced structure are shredded or bent — outwardly!.. It had to have been a hail of bullets from both sides that brought the plane down. (CBC News 2014)

The positioning of the round entry and exit holes, on the left and right side of MH17’s cockpit would appear to establish, at the very least, another cause responsible for MH17’s downing.
