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

Interestingly, this evidence is missing entirely from all Western narratives.

But from where would the machine gun fire have come? And if it were possible for ground based machine-gun fire to reach MH17, at 30,000 feet, would it have been possible for ordnance to breach the left and right sides of the flight’s cockpit?

The physics of a single BUK missile or its shrapnel penetrating from above the left and right sides of the cockpit would also appear highly improbable. As described by Major General Mikhail Krush, chief of the Russian Land Forces’ tactical air defense troops, “The [BUK] missile strikes the target from above covering it with a thick cloud of fragments” (GlobalResearch 2014). Krush also mentioned in his interview with Voyenno-Promyshlenny Kuryer military weekly that:

…a guided missile launched by a Buk missile system leaves behind a specific smoke trail as it flies, like a comet. In daylight this trail can be clearly seen within a radius of 20–25 kilometers from the missile system. It cannot remain unnoticed. There are no eyewitnesses to confirm there was any. No one reported a launch. This is one thing. Second. The holes left by the strike elements on the Boeing’s outer skin indicate that the warhead blew up from below and sideways. A Buk missile strikes the target from above. (GlobalResearch 2014)

This begs the question, where would this type of ordnance have originated? Interestingly, the forensic radar and satellite data from the Russian press conference of July 21, 2014 provides a clue to this.

The data pointed to, at least, one unidentified aircraft trailing flight MH17 immediately prior to its downing. The aircraft was unidentified, as it was without a secondary or commercial transponder. This, however, led the Russian General to believe the plane to be of military design and possibly an SU-25 (equipped with 30mm cannons). Corroboration of the Russian general’s claim would come from a most unlikely place — Kiev Air Traffic Control (KATC).

Minutes after MH17’s downing on July 17, 2014, Spanish air traffic controller, Jose Carlos Barrios Sanchez, who was working contractually at Kiev’s Borispol airport, tweeted via his Twitter Feed, @spainbuca, the following information with the associated timeline, translated from Spanish by Luis Lopez (GlobalResearch 2014):

•10:21 — 17 July 2014: “Kiev Authorities, trying to make it look like an attack by pro-Russians”

•10:24 — 17 July 2014: “warning! It can be a downing, Malaysia Airlines B777 in Ukraine [sic], 280 passengers

•10:25 — 17 July 2014: “Warning! Kiev have what they wanted”

•10:25 — 17 July 2014: “[Military] has taken control of ATC in Kiev”

•10:30 — 17 July 2014: “The Malaysia Airlines B777 plane disappeared from the radar, there was no communication of any anomaly, confirmed”

•10:35 — 17 July 2014: “they will take from our phones and others stuff at any moment”

•10:38 — 17 July 2014: “Before They remove my phone or they break my head, shot down by Kiev”

•11:13 — 17 July 2014: “What are doing foreigners with kiev authorities in the tower? Gathering all the information”

•11:48 — 17 July 2014: “The B777 plane flew escorted by Ukraine jet fighter until 2 minutes before disappearing from the radar”

•12:01 — 17 July 2014: “all this is gathered in radars, to the unbelieving, shot down by kiev, here we know it and military air traffic control also”

•13:38 — 17 July 2014: “The fighters flew close to 777, up to 3 minutes before disappearing from the radar, just 3 minutes”

•16:06 — 17 July 2014: “Military commanders here (ATC) control tower, confirm that the missile is from the Ukrainian army”

To summarize, the downing of flight MH17, as documented by Spanish air traffic controller, identified as “Carlos,” documented via his Twitter account 1) that there were two Ukrainian military jets trailing flight MH17, 2) that it was the Ukrainian authorities, who were, in fact, responsible for the downing of flight MH17, and 3) that they sought to pin its downing on the Ukrainian rebels. Carlos’s Twitter account was immediately terminated after the tragedy.

Though all of “Carlos’s” claims have not been verified by a secondary source, to date, Russia’s release of radar and satellite data appears to verify the presence of, at least, one Ukrainian SU-25 warplane trailing flight MH17.

Additional confirmation, however, comes from several eyewitnesses in the Donetsk area that verified a second plane trailing flight MH17 immediately before its downing. The BBC reporter, Olga Ivshina, interviewed eyewitnesses in Donetsk, who had also seen the second plane. In her report, Ivshina related the claims of residents:

The inhabitants of the nearby villages are certain that they saw military aircraft in the sky shortly prior to the catastrophe. According to them, it actually was the jet fighters that brought down the Boeing. (Uhler 2014)

Ms. Ivshina’s report was subsequently, and without explanation, withdrawn from the BBC’s website, but it can still be found if one searches the web.

An article in Malaysia’s New Strait Times , an English language newspaper, entitled “US Analysts Conclude MH17 Downed by Aircraft,” charged that the US and European-backed regime in Kiev was responsible for shooting down Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 in Eastern Ukraine in July (Hussain 2014). The article went on to state that this charge corroborated the initial analysis put forward by OSCE investigators that:

The Boeing 777–200 was crippled by an air-to-air missile and finished off with cannon fire from a fighter that had been shadowing it as it plummeted. (Hussain 2014)

Further reference was made concerning the analysis of the plane’s fuselage. Experts described:

…blast fragmentation patterns on the fuselage of the airliner show[ing] two distinct shapes — the shredding pattern associated with a warhead packed with “flechettes,” and the more uniform, round-type penetration holes consistent with that of cannon rounds. (Hussain 2014)

Additionally, it is necessary to rule out the scenario even now pressed by Western mainstream media, that a BUK missile brought down Flight MH17.

In a Russian documentary, MH-17: The Untold Story presented by RT, which aired on October 27, 2014, an altogether overlooked, but critically important factor of the vapor trail of a BUK missile as it launches and then flies to its target was once again brought to light.

The vapor trail of a BUK missile, as reported in the documentary, is large and very noticeable. In this particular case the vapor trail would be white and up to 10,000 meters in length, remaining visible for up to ten minutes. And despite this fact, there is not one reported account of anyone seeing the vapor trail, not one.

Talk regarding the downing of Malaysian Flight MH17 has all but disappeared. Western mainstream media and Western Leaders with “mountains of evidence” linking the Novorossoyia Forces and thus Russia to the downing have fallen uncharacteristically silent, while their evidence appears deathly allergic to sunlight. And four months after Western countries (Netherlands, Denmark) received the flight data recorders from Flight MH17, their lone report could best be characterized as purposely vague and inconclusive.

The Dutch Safety Board’s report on Flight MH17’s flight data recorder, as aired on Democracy Now , determined that Flight MH17 had been hit by “high-energy objects” and broke apart in the air over Eastern Ukraine (Democracy Now 2014). The report, however, failed to assign responsibility or hypothesize the source of the “high-energy objects.”

Elephants appear to be wandering around US, EU, and NATO conference rooms, as eyes continually divert from the elephantine facts in the room, on the ground, and apparently in all of the various datasources — black boxes, radar, satellite, etc. There is, indeed, another culprit.
