NEW MH17 SENSATION: German experts point finger at Ukrainian air-force jets.

BY JOHN WARD

ukrainejetsSurface to air missile attack ruled out as calibre of cockpit bullet holes puts Ukraine pilots in the frame for MH17 murders

This is what a German pilot-cum-air technology expert Peter Haisenko has just published on the subject of the MH17 disaster (my emphases):

‘The misfortune of the Malaysian MH 017 is known to all. The flight
recorder is in England and is being evaluated. What can come of this?
May be more than you want to accept….if you look at the image of
Cockpit-Fragments, this picture is certainly shocking.
Entry And Exit holes from bullets in the area of the Cockpit. This is not speculation, but analysis of clear facts: the cockpit
shows clear evidence of bullet holes. You can see the entry holes and
some exit points. The edges of the bullet holes are bent inwards,
these are much smaller and round in shape. A 30mm calibre. The exit
holes are less well formed and the edges are torn outwards.
Furthermore it is visible that the exit holes have torn the double
aluminium skin and bent them outwards. That is to say, splinters from
inside the cockpit blew through the outside of the cabin. The open
rivets have also been bent outwards….There is only one conclusion one can make, and that is that this: the
aircraft was not hit by a missile. The damage to the aircraft is
exclusively in the cockpit area….

Armour-Piercing Ammunition. Russia has published radar data that a
Ukranian SU 25 was close to MH 017. this corresponds with Spanish air
traffic control that two Ukranian fighter aircraft were in direct
contact with MH 017. Examine the weaponry of the SU 25: it is fitted
out with a 30mm cannon Type GSch-302 /AO-17A, with 250 rounds of
splintering exploding bullets on a belt – shrapnel rounds. The cockpit
of MH 017 was hit from TWO sides, as there are entry and exit holes on
the same side….’
Very compelling stuff, is it not?

Now read this (also German) article by defence expert Bernd Biederman, who offers equally sound reasons why the
shooting down could NOT have been from a surface to air missile:

‘ the shooting down of the Malaysian
Boeing on July 17 in the Eastern Ukraine “could not have been hit by a
surface to air defense missile” .

This is the assessment of retired Colonel Bernd Biedermann in an
article for the daily newspaper published in Berlin “new Germany”
(Thursday edition). Had splinters from a surface to air missile hit
the plane, it would have immediately caught fire, argues the NVA
anti-aircraft missile specialist. His reasoning is because of the
“enormous frictional heat that the splinters generate on penetrating
the fuselage. A single splinter contains the same kinetic energy as a
40-ton freight car hitting the buffers at 60 kilometers per hour.” In
the case of the Malaysian Boeing, scattered fires had broken out after
the impact with the ground, because hot debris from the aircraft had
come in contact with combustible materials.

Biedermann is familiar with Soviet and Russian air defense technology,
he led units in the duty officer system in East Germany and taught at
the Military Academy in the field of anti-aircraft missile troops.’

Articles are beginning to appear across the Web to the effect that Angela Merkel is disturbed by (and growing tired of) the incessant US propaganda being emitted in favour of its energy agenda….and so we must perhaps in turn view these articles in the light of her alleged new agenda concerning the creation of an alternative bloc to that of America. (More on this here in the near future).

But spin or not, these analyses make sense. The US State Dept has now shifted its position from ‘Russian atrocity’ to ‘tragic accident’. The above opinions suggest that neither are true: they suggest strongly that the Ukrainian air force took out MH17.

  1. This article uses a picture of an SU-27, but the German “experts” claim Ukrainian SU-25s shot down MH17. One large problem, the SU-25 Frogfoot is not a fighter, but an attack aircraft analogous to the USAF A-10. It has a maximum service ceiling of 23,000 feet when unloaded, and around 16,000 with full weapons. MH17 was cruising at 33K feet, 10K feet (almost 2 miles) higher than the SU-25 can reach.
    It is also too slow to effectively intercept a Boeing 777, with a maximum airspeed of only 31 mph above the airliner’s cruising speed. What kind of aviation “expert” can ignore the inability of an SU-25 to intercept an airliner at cruising altitude and speed?

      • Flight follow websites show MH17 was flying at 33,000 ft at 490 knots just prior to be shot down. Also, there have been no reports to suggest it had descended from that altitude before disappearing from radar screens.
        Let’s remember that the rebel leader tweeted that they had just shot down an AN-26 in the same area & time as when MH17 crashed. That’s pretty convincing evidence by itself.

          • who plan to shoot mh17. to make it looks like freedom fighters got capabilities to do that. and they (cia) very greedy, didnot supply fuel till home, only till ukraine

          • do you know that I can create multiple social media accounts and pretend to be you and tweet and post till the cows come home? Having a social media account is not like having a passport , anybody can claim to be anybody and make any claims they want. It’s all hearsay and speculation. Where is the proof the evidence from the USA? Where is it? Why is nobody asking to see it? Why are the refusing to release it ? These are the questions you should be asking

        • Not admissible in court. Fairly weak, since the tweets from the Spanish air traffic controller (industry confirmed) have been censored out of existence.
          Also websites have all been tampered, including ones showing departure time.
          Early photos from crash (ones not tampered with) and Russian data is all we have to go on.

          Reply
        • Actually not quite true.
          It did descent slightly from aprox 33k to aprox 32k, after instructions from flight control.
          Other then that we have no proof untill kiev releases the flightdata they have ran off with.

          Reply
      • how woule Kiev have information? The Flight Data Recorder is in England. The aircraft does not answer to or inform Kiev. Kiev do not release data because they do not HAVE data.

    • You are unfortunately an incredibly stupid idiot. I don’t buy any conspiracy theory garbage so I will just wait until the findings are reported and also take the information released by the Russian MOD as highly credible until shown otherwise.
      You are proof that any clown can go on the internet type in SU-25 and then post nonsense on the internet. In reality the spec given,just to satisfy non experts , regarding things like speed and cruising altitude- are a load of garbage.
      That plane is structurally designed to be able to go way about that “service ceiling” you stupidly refer to…as high as 11000m in certain conditions. The only reason for this stat of 7000m stated on website is due to impact on the engine….this can still be fine flying way above 7000m provided it does this for a brief period of time and not a cruising altitude.
      That speed is easily able to intercept the 777 also.

      Reply
      • You are quick to call someone an idiot while hiding behind an anonymous “guest” persona. Actually, unless the sole purpose of the SU-25s that day was to shoot down MH-17, they would never be flown clean. The Frogfoot had problems with flying in Afghanistan and is not a high-altitude aircraft.
        Only someone who knows very little about military aviation would state that an SU-25 would ever be sent to intercept a 777. The plane lacks afterburners, and it’s only slight speed advantage would mean any intercept mission would take too long and have impossibly low odds of success. There is a reason air superiority fighters have supersonic capabilities for high closure speed and excess maneuvering energy. Jeez, all you need is a little experience with a combat flight sim, but you obviously don’t even have that.

        • Actually, the service ceiling of a Su-25T (airtight cabin) is 33,000ft (10,000m) with full load. Service ceiling is the ceiling where aircraft can presume static horizontal fight. Su-25Ts DYNAMIC ceiling is approximately 50,000ft (15,000m).
          Su-25T with full tanks and full combat load weight 16,800kg – tw ratio = 0,49
          Su-25T with full tanks and 2xR-60 weight 12,500kg = t/w ratio = 0,66
          F-104 Starfighter was able to have a service ceiling of 50,000ft (15,000m) at combat load having TWICE smaller t/w ratio and higher wing load.
          But most of all, R-60 can attack aircraft at 10km (30,000ft) PLUS to attitude of attacking aircraft.
          Also, an Su-25T attacking a Boeing 777 at its 10,500m with R-60 could be WAY below it. It could reach it with R-60 even from 4,000-5,000m?.

          Reply
          • Why do I bother? The SU-25T/SU-39 was produced in very small numbers, none going to Ukraine. All the SU-25s possessed by Ukraine have unpressurized cockpits, limiting them to uunder 23000 feet.
            The above article states these “experts” proposing damage from an SU-25’s 30mm canon, NOT an R-60 a2a missle. And you don’t send a subsonic, ground attack aircraft to shoot down a 777 cruising at FL33, when you have SU-27s and Mig-29s available.

    • I don’t know why you are concentrating on this SU-25 or SU-27 thing. It does not matter!! Remember the press conference Russia said “probably” so I give a shit what military fighter it was.
      The FACT is that it is almost impossible that a ground air missile hit the plane and that there are entry and exit holes in the cockpit of the MH17.
      So stay to the facts and don’t loose in site discussions.
      If this is confirmed all the discussion from the west world is a lie!
      And with the next step we can ask the question what plane type can create wholes like this.

      • It’s hard for surface to air missiles to hit an aircraft??? Then why do the Russians have so many batteries of them? Why did they sell many of them over the years to Cuba, N Korea, Libya, China, Vietnam, Iran, etc? We lost a U-2 over Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. We lost many fighter & bombers to SA-6 SAM sites during Vietnam. Israel has lost fighter jets to SAMs during their several wars. Libya shot down a Chad bomber back in 1987 using an SA-6 too. Saddam’s Iraq Army tried to shoot down US & Allied fighters during Operation Desert Storm, Northern Watch * Southern Watch. The Serbs shot down Capt Scott Grady in an F-16 and they got another one during the Kosovo conflict. I could site many other shoot downs.
        So, shooting an unarmed, unaware civil airliner with a big shiny radar return would not be overly difficult for a much newer system like the BUK that’s involved in this criminal act by the rebels.

        • You distract from the topic. I don’t ask whom to blame.
          Let’s face the facts before judging. So fact number
          1. Photo of the peace of the cockpit shows entry and exit holes
          2. The plane didn’t burn when it felled down (video evidence)
          3. Plane had plenty of fuel on board at the time of the crash and a ground to air rocket would have inflamed the plane in the air
          5. The peaces of the plane behind the cockpit had no explosion damages except for a part of the wing surface.
          I don’t ask the question who is responsible. I just ask the question how do these facts match the official version. So don’t distract in site discussions.
          If you accept these facts we can discuss further on the question how is this possible and maybe who can do this.
          But by accepting these facts you have to admit that the official western version is a lie. As one BUK cannot create entry and exist holes!
          And if you don’t accept these facts you don’t accept reality.

          • I was replying to “almost impossible that a ground air missile hit the plane” comment and I never said who I thought was to blame. My comments are relevant to this conversation, even if they disagree with you.
            The 777 only has fuel tanks in the wings and the wing box area of the fuselage. There is no fuel tanks in the area in front of the wings nor behind them. This also explains fairly well why the wreckage only burned at one location where the main landing gear are easily visible in the debris along with both engines.
            How does a missile start a fire in flight if the explosives detonate some 50-100 feet away from the target? The primary shrapnel is made up of steel balls some 10 mm in size and they would have nothing flammable in them.
            Air temperature at 33,000 ft is around -50 Fahrenheit, then add in the jets speed of 490 knots/560 MPH and it would be pretty hard for any flammable missile material to catch the fuel vapors on fire.

          • The cockpit does not look at all as it would have been hit by a missile in 50 – 100 feet distance. You have to understand that the cockpit is even reinforced as it is exposed to particular stress.
            As the expert stated frictional heat that the splinters generate on penetrating
            the fuselage immediately causes fire.
            I’ll have a high resolution image of the cockpit with 8500×5700 resolution. Very detailed!! But this site does not allow links in comments as it looks like.

          • That’s an awful lot of pitting & darkening to what was a white paint job. To me it looks like residue from the missiles warhead. On several of those holes, they seem to be entry holes coming in from just off of the nose. Since their are two layers of sheetmetal, I believe that angled hit would push up on the far side of the impact area. It will be interesting to see what the crash investigation report says.

          • What ever the crash inverstigation report will say, people will allways point a finger that it was done by CIA or whoever. That are kinda people sleeping with aluminium foil on there head to, lol
            That are people that achive nothing in there life and blame anybody else for there mistakes and have nothing better to do or simply like this “expert” to boost his book sales with lies and so on with nothing behind the story.

          • wrong, the speed passenger plane has and how bullets travel the damage infront is made from explosion and shrapnel hits. Bullets would make clean hits not this.

          • How in the hell would a shrapnel make ENTRY holes?! You suggest that after explosion a shrapnel can fly away from a plane then turn around and make an entry hole? Well that’s smart. And in this picture ENTRY holes are obvious!

          • the surface to air missile doesnt explode just like that hat your used to see in movies! It explodes before it this a plane and with that the missile itself has shrapnels that are done exactly for this.

          • what are you talking about actually??? missile explodes about 20m from the plane and spreading the shrapnels to the target to rip it apart. Alot of weapons are done like that, even mines. BUK missile is made to destroy alot of things and while it travels at speed above beeing able to hit exactly the target it is done so it explodes near the targed so it hits it with sharpnels. Again, you need to check how this kinda missiles work as they DONT hit the target directly!

          • Most of my posting deals with factual data. I only mad a couple of comments that implicate the rebels with nothing said about Russian involvement. So, how did you get “blame Russia” out of that?

          • I would say you are the shill, Eric ohnson is posting facts that you refuse to answer exceot with crass insults. Your’s is typical of the Russina propgandists or the conspiracy theorists.

          • ” I never said who I thought was to blame. My comments are relevant to this conversation,” ? You_ did_ say this:
            *would not be overly difficult for a much newer system like *the BUK that’s involved in this criminal act by the rebels.*”
            That would seem to be saying that the “rebels” are to blamse…

          • Since all conspiracies are equally valid based on the facts why are you sure the panel was not shot up by drunk Russian separatist militia? Maybe he wasn’t drunk nut acting on Moscow’s orders?
            As to your points 1,2,3 and 5 (NO #4?) a SAM hit at 30,000 feet would cause massive IMPLOSION, thus the exploding fireball might not occur. (IDK, I am no expert.) Is there enough data on the wreckage to make any determination?

          • I have mentioned that a large SAM missile exploding in front of MH17 fits what information we have at this point. Russian media reported on June 29 that these rebels had captured Ukrainian BUK. Add that rebel social media announcement just after the shoot down and there are several natural tie ins there.
            Airliners are pressurized at 8000 to 10,000 ft for passenger comfort. So it would be the opposite of an implosion as there would be a huge loss of pressure as it bled out thru these numerous holes and cracks in the fuselage.
            The wreckage will tell us a lot and that’s why so many folks wonder why the Russians carted away the cockpit area and other parts of the aircraft. We need to get the investigators out there in a safe environment so they can find the evidence to prove what really happened on that day.

          • The photos of the plane prove nothing. We don’t know if it is the same plane, we don’t know when the holes were put there – maybe the groudn forces did it to obfuscate the issue.

          • How do you know they are bullet holes? If anything, there hole size seems to be in the 10 mm range and I don’t know of any aircraft that shoot that size bullet. The ones I know of are 20 to 25 mm with only the A-10 carrying a 30 mm gun. That basic fact rules out a fighter jet’s gun causing the damages.

          • Did you read the article? The German pilot clearly explains that they are bullet holes of 30 mm. And that the damage to the cockpit on the pilot’s side could not be caused by a missile. The larger holes are from the inside out.

        • except evidence recovered from the downed craft is NOT supportive of the BUK missile system having been used. If it DID support that weapons system, the ONLY ones in the area were in the hands of the Ukrainian government forces, NOT the “russian backed” or leaning “rebel” forces. Whether it was a BUK or a Ukrainian Air Force craft, the Ukrainian government forces seem to be the guilty at this point. And guess WHO is backing and furthering the aims of that government’s military? Yup.. the good ol US of A.

          • Russian media reported on June 29 that the rebels had captured BUK vehicles. That puts them in rebel hands over 2 weeks before the shoot down on Jul 17.
            Sadly, Obama has only provide some MREs for the Ukraine military, that is no real support at all. Real support would include satellite intelligence of rebel & troop locations, rifles, ammo, night vision goggles, etc.

          • “Russian media reported on June 29 that the rebels had captured BUK vehicles.”
            Way too oversimplified. So, they captured an entire SAM site, plus its entire dozen or so crew and support hardware intact? I doubt that.
            A “BUK vehicle” alone doth not an effective and combat-ready BUK SAM site make!
            From the Ukrainian government website for the state-owned defence company “UKROBORONSERVICE” which services, maintains, enhances, and SELLS BUK missile systems to various third-parties:
            The BUK-M1 system includes:
            – Air defense guided missiles 9M38M1;
            – Command post 9S470M1;
            – Early warning and target designation radar unit 9S18M1 KUPOL-M1;
            – Self-propelled SAM launching system 9A310M1;
            – Launcher-loader module 9A39.
            You need at least a command vehicle, a launcher, some missiles, and a targetting radar vehicle (KUPOL radar vehicle). Plus you need a minimum of about a dozen trained guys, who are experienced working TOGETHER as an air-defense team to work the system. This includes radar operator, missile operator, vehicle operator/loader, driver(s), and support staff, plus a commander of some kind.
            Where would the rebels get an entire complete long-range SAM site, plus a complete integrated and trained crew for the same type (and version!) of SAM site? These are not footsoldier operated single-user IGLA MANPAD missiles we’re talking about, which, incidentally, ALL the other aircraft shootdown videos from Ukraine feature heavily.
            Without all of these, you CANNOT engage an airliner (which cannot really even be clearly visually detected at 10,000 meters altitude).
            Go ahead and google some interior photos of the KUPOL and BUK missile launcher control panels and tell me how untrained rebels would spitball (without wasting all the missiles) how to use this high-tech piece of kit effectively?
            And further, if the Ukrainians or even the Russians saw that the rebels, somehow, had setup a KUPOL site and thought it was effective, they would not send a single aircraft anywhere near the thing (BUK pretty much a 100% kill probability against fighters) but would move some howitzers or GRAD rockets within range and smash the thing with artillery (or maybe a lone KA50 at treetop level) within hours of it powering up…unless they WANTED the rebels to have it.

        • even if the mh17 was shot down by BUK it was shot down by Ukrainian BUK , did you notice that Ukraine had 2 missile systems in the area and in range to shoot it down days up to the incident? Yeah you see the Russians released actual real verifiable satellite evidence , The USA releases illustrations and claims.

    • HoustonReal, you strike me as highly squared-away in your knowledge of military aviation. Your well-worded comment gave me pause after encountering the *unofficial* German report. I knew nothing about the SU25, but the photos I’ve seen confirm your description of a ground-attack aircraft – of a similar breeding as an A1-E skyraider.
      That said, I will remain highly skeptical of the NATO/Western narrative – just on account of what they did to Libya in 2010 – the flimsiness of their Cassus Belli, and how they left that country. The NATO/Western narrative sinks even lower when we witness two years of murderous insurrection in Syria, with a steady flow of foreign Islamist fighters who receive funding from secretive sources in the persian Gulf monarchies. And this funding manages to get through despite the global reach of the *Patriot Act* and its strict prohibition of funding terrorism.
      You are certainly not “an incredibly stupid idiot.” I appreciate your well-thought comment.

      • Vincent, Here are some more things to consider.
        I’m no expert on missiles, but I do know a few things about them. The main point is that they use shrapnel to hit their target vs an actual missile hit to increase the likelyhood of damaging/destroying the target. The shrapnel design of choice is steel balls that are roughly the 3/8 inch or 10 mm size for aerodynamics (they’re traveling at 2000+ MPH) and ability to punch through aircraft components.
        Most anti-aircraft missiles detonate some 50-100 feet away from the target to ensure a wide field of shrapnel and thus something will hit the target.
        If MH17 was shot down by a jet that was following it, the damages would be to the rear of the jet, not in the cockpit area & other frontal areas.
        If it was shot down with an infra red missile, the target would have been one of the engines with damage focused on the engine and wing area.
        There is a photo that shows extensive shrapnel damage to a piece of the skin that’s below the pilot’s window with additional shrapnel damage to the left wing tip. That damage is way more than any aircraft mounted missile can carry. For example the R-27/AA-10 has infra red and/or radar guidance. But, it only weighs 540 pounds total with the warhead weighing 86 pounds vs the BUK’s 190 pound warhead.

        • Missiles actually use continious rod warheads within an external shrapnel-producing prefragmented case. Pure shrapnel shells/warheads are world war 2 technology, they produce lots of damaged aircraft but relatively few shootdowns. Continious rod warheads cut the aircraft apart and greatly improve the kill ratio, they have been around since the 50’s.

      • you have no idea how the plane work, you think that su 25 would actually be able to get ahead of a plane that runs double of speed his operation speed in 10000m?
        Just so you know, if even su 25 would manage to 10k, it would take him hours to do it, higher it goes, slowe it would become, the plane would probably have its 30% of his topspeed and even thinking how it would get infront of 900kmh passanger plane than even maneuver to shot at it…

    • Wrong.
      The absolute Max service ceiling isnt the same as the normal top servicing ceiling.
      It is defined for service ceiling up to 7000 meters, but max ceiling is set at aprox 10.500.
      And can proberly go a litle over that also. (Most planes can go 30-100% over described ceilings).
      But they cant hold it there over time. They can just get up there, and then not lobg after have to decline. And often use oxygen-masks.
      Its a normal trick used in most big wars. Germans used it often in their surprise attacks in ww2.

  2. This article is the regular misdirection generated to mix the truth with lies right before your eyes so the majority populous who might come across the information have their interest extinguished when the false parts of the story are exposed. This serves to destroy the truth that is contained in the story. This is how the public are steered away from important factual information. The populous are mostly not educated regarding psychological warfare and it’s regular patterns and strategies. The claims about the passengers having been killed before the flight began was another trap for the stupid who do not think for themselves. A very large proportion of the alternative media are mixing 90% truth with 10% nutty so the truth always remains hidden right before the worlds view. The truth in this article is that all the evidence does suggest the BUK story is a clever misdirection but the rest is invention and speculation designed to poison the truth. This article is designed to make fools of those who pass it on as credible.
    Never forget the financial resources of the money printer are limitless.

    • Please let me know to which evidence you refer. The USA STILL hasn’t released any “proof” and the Kiev fascists have removed the air-traffic controller voice recordings, which they’re refusing to release. Have you even asked yourself, if they’re so sure it was the Russians or rebels, why they just don’t release the recordings immediately, so the entire world can hear what happened? Have you noticed the USA aren’t jumping up and down for the release of the recordings?? Now, go ask yourself why, without asking mommy or daddy to think for you.

      • I don’t think it is the rebels or the Russians. I agree we need all the forensic evidence uncovered to be able to hold the guilty to account.
        It is unlikely an honest investigation will be conducted. The German evidence has all the fingerprints of mischief.
        I will confess having read some of John Ward’s background analysis the mischief might be different to that I first imagined.

        • I have been wondering why Russia has not been calling far more strongly for key evidence like the ATC logs to be released. You’d sort of expect the US to act like the records didn’t exist, if they knew more than they were telling, but Russia?
          Also, the Russian radar traces, even the fragments that have been publicly presented, are pretty cut and dried. By looking at altitudes and airspeeds, and origins of radar tracks, it can fairly simply be ascertained exactly what number and type of aircraft were airborne in the area at that time. We can’t assume that Russia doesn’t watch Ukraine as carefully as possible these days.
          Russia and the US both have very advanced Non-Cooperative-Target-Recognition equipment, and it can work at quite long ranges, and only a fool wouldn’t put it to use having it so close to an active war zone, even if only for training and research.

          • What has this photo got to do with MH17, there is no way that the lady shown could have held on to her child as they fell from the sky so the picture is irrelevant to the source subject.

      • Pilots pleading to not be shot down and hearing their screams as the bullets pierce the cockpit are not conducive to the Zionist lies being swallowed hook, line and sinker by a gullible public.

      • The initial report on MH17 is now out, it shows the 2 black boxes were not interfered with and the report states that ATC in Ukraine was in touch with MH17 about 2 minutes before it disintegrated in mid air. So even if Kiev has destroyed their recordings relating to the flight there are still those from the black boxes available.

        • But Ukraine has unaccountably been part of a NATO-controlled investigation omitting Malaysia and giving each partner country rights to release or quash any evidence that runs counter to their interests. In other words, there is a secret agreement to cover up evidence that harms the national interest of Netherlands, Ukraine, Australia, and Belgium. All four nations are now involved in a conspiracy to coverup, showing their own complicity as accessories or prime suspects.

    • The financial resources of the money printer are NOT limitless. In fact this should be obvious. Never in the Federal Reserve’s history has its balance sheet expanded to the degree it has these past five years. Being a lender of last resort and remaining extraordinarily active as such these past five years, one simply must conclude the U.S. banking system in fact is hopelessly insolvent. Indeed, the Federal Reserve’s extraordinary activism these past five years rather vividly reveals the U.S. banking system in truth is on its last legs. Were it not, then why would desperately trapped lenders of last resort (let’s include the U.S. Treasury here, too, because its role in sustaining the illusion of the banking system’s solvency is in fact the deciding one) throw everything but the kitchen sink at a banking system whose “assets” obviously have less intrinsic value than the truckloads of discarded wares filling a municipal garbage dump. Again, the Fed’s extraordinary activism proves this.
      But wait, you say, what about the recovery of asset values as a result of the Fed’s extraordinary activism? Well, we might argue various technical matters influencing this, yet we might better recall the sequence of events leading to the destruction of Bear Stearns followed by Lehman Brothers six months afterward, and begin this trip down memory lane in, say, February 2007 when two of Bear’s sub-prime mortgage funds blew up. Although at the time the aggressive “money printer” was Wall Street (through its securitizations and structured finance regimes) and not the Federal Reserve, eight full months of rising markets went into the books before cracks further exposing the U.S. banking system’s utter insolvency in February 2007 were more widely recognized, and not for another twelve months did the dam break wide open subsequent to first recognition in October 2007. Over that twelve month interim we saw Bear Stearns, whose shares were trading in the $70-$80 range during the first half of March 2008, trade down to $2 within a mere matter days. Bang! From tireless efforts sustaining the illusion of its solvency to complete disillusionment, all in the bat of an eye. More or less the same thing happened with Lehman Brothers. The “limitless” money printers won’t let ’em go went the thinking. Bang! Buh-bye Bear. Buh-bye Lehman.
      I’m sorry, but the “money printer” does NOT possess limitless financial resources. Inasmuch as mankind is subject to “natural law,” so too is finance. On this note we might agree wealth CAN be created out of thin air. It is, indeed, possible to create “something” from “nothing.” The manifestation of this possibility, however, will always result in a marked increase in the productive powers of labor–always. Indeed, this, and this alone, is the ultimate “backing” determining a banking system’s solvency. Make people wealthier in truth (by making their labor more productive) and not only can they pay their debts, but they can increase their savings and, as well, afford to go even deeper into debt (if, and only if, the opportunity to further increase their productive powers should arise, which opportunity, itself, likely will be leveraging previous increase realized). Yet what have we seen most vividly since 2008? Has ANY of the supposedly “limitless” largesse of the money printer gone toward financing schemes offering to increase the productive powers of labor? The utter destruction of labor imposed upon the so-called “PIIGS” of the EMU were the London School’s answer! Quite the opposite to what ultimately is needed to sustain a banking system’s solvency!
      The “limitless” money printers won’t let the trans-Atlantic banking system crater, goes the thinking today. However, just like Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers in 2008, we’re just waiting for the BANG! The fact of the matter is this end cannot be stopped. Not as long as the London School continues to remain Wall Street’s master. Which leads this thought to certain blatant deceptions of the past year, among which MH017 is the latest. Is it in the average American’s interest to be increasing odds of a nuclear confrontation with Russia? Last year’s Ghouta (Syria) chemical weapons fraud couldn’t push the envelope promoting this very same end–nuclear confrontation with Russia–so what does a US State Department indistinguishable from the London Foreign Office do next? It elevates fascists and neo-Nazis in Ukraine, right on the doorstep of Russia! Then worked by a decrepit, anti-American oligarchy propping up such mental midgets as Secretary of State John Kerry are media assets indistinguishable from the BBC, making every effort to vilify a Russia whose London School adherents are increasingly being marginalized under Putin. Obviously, the thinking is there are no shortage of suckers who will swallow the bait. Truth is most Americans wouldn’t know their REAL enemy from an enema. Little wonder given a US media that, through and through, is indistinguishable from the BBC. Little wonder, too, given the manner in which institutions of government have been reduced in their effectiveness to the level of feckless European parliaments.
      The enemy is not Russia. It’s London. Always was and always will be. Anyone arguing differently is a dupe, at the very least, and quite possibly something far worse.
      Per MH017, of no minor consequence was Putin’s leadership behind mid-July’s creation of a BRICS Development Bank challenging the hegemony of a rotten IMF system whose ideological framework is LSE through and through. Seeing what these pricks imposed on the so-called “PIIGS” of the EMU is it any wonder fascists and neo-Nazis needed to be elevated in Ukraine, this that the vile IMF’s LSE policy of rape and pillage be rammed down Ukraine’s throat?
      Per MH017 being the second Malaysian Air flight this year targeted for destruction, Malaysia’s 1997 imposition of capital controls and currency exchange controls in response to economic attacks coming from the London-New York Axis of Fraud might best be recalled here. This is how tyrants who smile behind veils of unfettered free market capitalism pay back victims who resist.
      Tying a little bow on this wordy package I will conclude by saying all things are not what they seem. This applies to money printers whose resources are believed “limitless,” as well as to who are the REAL enemies to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Peace out. (And speak of out, Kerry must go…)

      • I wasn’t suggesting printing money was going to end well. I was making the point the money printer doesn’t have a financing limitation
        and therefor ultimately controls all things that rely on money until the printing press is confiscated. The power of the printing press allows
        the money printer to effectively create the reality for most of mankind who have no clue about the magic of money from thin air.

        • I argue the money printer does have a financing limitation, and this is true no matter the ends to which its finance is directed. Yet the issue goes deeper than this, and you touch upon it when you argue the money printer possesses power to effectively create reality. Ben Franklin and Alexander Hamilton both understood this very well, which is why power to create credit was delegated to Congress in Article I Section 8 of the Constitution. Being a formidable power, its application was intended to uplift every noble principle clearly enumerated in the Constitution’s Preamble (particularly per promoting the general Welfare).
          It is toward this ultimate benchmark of accountability (principles enumerated in the Constitution’s Preamble) we can argue whether the Federal Reserve is a constitutionally legitimate institution. As presently configured with self-imposed limitations fraudulently argued as bolstering the institution’s “independence,” I side with those who claim the Federal Reserve is an unconstitutional enterprise. I suspect we agree on this point. Rightly so, too, because we both see the Fed is aggressively legitimizing a Ponzi scheme whose consequence in fact denigrates every last humanist principle enumerated in the Constitution’s Preamble. There is not one single point listed there that has not been compromised with considerable assistance from the Federal Reserve as presently configured.
          On this point, too, just how Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke are not sharing a prison cell with Bernie Madoff (whose Ponzi scheme was child’s play in comparison) is a most perplexing phenomenon for those who would claim the United States embraces “the rule of law.” Truth is we are a lawless nation filled with citizens too busy trying to make ends meet to challenge criminals in leadership positions who otherwise are paraded as being “respectable.” Let’s not deceive ourselves either. This is a bi-partisan affair. Both major parties have been subverted by Wall Street interests serving in their capacity as junior partners to the City of London and its animator, the Bank of England. We probably agree this relationship must be dissolved. Yet we probably disagree on what institutional framework must necessarily replace this. Being a Hamiltonian, I recognize desirable power that could be availed through a national credit system directing finance to ends serving to uplift the productive powers of labor. I understand how Anglophiles propping up Andrew Jackson subverted this power, and that this power has not yet been recovered even to this day, all on account of outright lies and deceptions that are kept alive by enterprises acting to destroy the means by which the U.S. constitutional republic could flourish and fully manifest its unique position among all nations as a temple of liberty and a beacon of hope.

  3. Why is this article showing an SU-27 vs the SU-25 that the Russian media said was following MH17? The SU-27 is an air to air fighter jet. But, the SU-25 is a close air support jet with a service ceiling of 23,000 ft. Thus this puts a major hole in what the Russian media has been proclaiming.

    Reply
    • An attack aircraft with a 30mm cannon is capable of hitting a slow moving large target like a jet airliner at ~3000m higher altitude as its effective range is probably around 4000m but it would be a tough shot to make. More likely is that the Su-25 could have used AAMs to bring down MH17, as the Su-25 can carry short-range IR-guided AAMs on its outer wing pylons (like AA-8 “Aphids”).
      Not saying it did, but it is certainly possible.

        The worrying thing for air travelers now is that there seems to be no sense of responsibility for safety, since only a few airlines chose to deviate from this route. Something needs to be done about this pretty damn quick! And since most airlines are apparently not prepared to consider passenger safety above financial gain, it needs to be an international body with legal backing!

It was kiev duty to give a safe path for the malasyan plane.. 10 times before that same plane flew over ukraine avoiding the warzone.. but this time it was directly guided to the middle of the war zone.
          Kiev had the 100% responsability to warn the pilots of an airliners ,over the dangerous place.. they flying ,because they were losing many military Planes over there too. Kiev simply wanted to frame the Rebels ,by shooting down a civilian plane and get world support for its illegal war. Rebels had nothing to win shooting down a civilian plane on top that BUK defenses require professionals that the Rebels don’t have.,. The missiles have to be guided by Radio using Radars.. is very complex stuff . They do not chase automatically .. they are radio guided and not by eye sight or any camera but by Radars.

  7. The testimony came from Colonel Bernd Biedermann who led units in the duty officer system in East Germany. East Germany was a Warsaw Pact Member and satellite of Russia throughout the cold war. So this guy was from behind the curtain and was indoctrinated by the USSR during the cold warperiod . Anyone who served in such a capacity ( a senior commanding officer ) would have been heavily indoctrinated in Soviet propaganda and thinking. Also his loyalty would have been watched and evaluated closely by the Soviet overlords. If war had broken out, he would have commanded units against NATO under orders emanating from the Kremlin. So we have established his loyalties that existed throughout his military career. How does that make him an unbiased and credible witness against the west and Ukraine now?

  8. Just a layman’s opinion here, but the “holes” in the fuselage around the cockpit appear to be of varying sizes. This appears to a layman to indicate shrapnel of some sort. But I cannot say for certain, because I do not know if Bullets may also be known to produce holes of various sizes.

  9. First off go look how big a 30mm entry and exit hole is and second an SU-25 max operating ceiling is 10,000 feet BELOW a 777, so rounds would be entering from the bottom not the sides and consider a 777 max cruise speed is much faster than that of an SU-25, so how did this fighter catch up to and climb high and fast enough to attack the plane? On the other hand 2 surface to air missiles exploding on opposite sides of the 777 could produce the damage seen.

  14. First, aircraft cannon don’t fire “bullets”… They fire (exploding) “shells”… Second, such shells would NOT exit the fuselage as they would explode upon entering the fuselage…
    On the other side, the BUK (SA-11) missile will explode when near to its target and this explosion will direct a cone of red hot shrapnel into the target… Shrapnel, being non explosive, will go through the aircraft (enter on one side and exit on the other side) unless stopped by something substantive (e.g. instrumentation, a galley appliance etc)…
    Both can create fires onboard after hitting… The shell through its explosion and the shrapnel due to its heat as well as its residual energy…

    Reply
    • Radar proximity fuses do not rule out the missile impacting the target, as they can be configured to detonate when the radar detects the range to target is increasing, ie missile is passing the target. If the radar detects taht the distance to target is continuously diminishing, it will not detonate and will allow impact under these conditions.

The Ukrainian authorities have confiscated the ATC tapes, and the British — Western shills — now have the cockpit voice recorder, so the exchanges between Kiev ATC and MH17 ***WOULD*** be under their control, excepting that those radio transmissions would also, one would think, have been picked up and recorded by the Russians. We shall see.
    Why did the Malaysians give the “Black boxes” to the Brits, knowing their bias in this matter? What security arrangements are in place to monitor the examination of those “boxes” to insure the data is preserved, faithfully and transparently presented, and not tampered with? Any such arrangements?

I am inclined to believe that Ukraine shot down the plane too but as I discuss the radar images released by the Russians many people who disagree claim that the Russian Radar images of the Ukrainian fighter jet are false .. First they claim that an SU25 cannot reach that altitude , then they claim that in the radar images it looks like the alleged SU25 is hovering or at a stand still whilst the MH17 continues to move in one direction. Their claim is that an SU25 cannot reach the altitude and it cannot Hover … Can anyone with any other opinions help me clarify these issues?

    • Watch the news conference yourself (it’s on YouTube) – there are two speakers, the first guy seems more sloppy in his comments (or his translator is worse). In the second segment, which shows the actual radar data, the second guy only speaks of a “military aircraft” – it has no ID transponders like commercial aircraft, so they assume it’s military. They only see it once it climbs above 5 km (because of the distance from the Russian AirTrafficControl (ATC) radars on the border. They don’t even see it until AFTER the MH17 has suffered “abrupt speed loss’ – after any missile (AAM or SAM) has damaged it. It appears to “hover” at that scale (the screen is 100’s of km wide) but it could be circling in 5 km loops and you wouldn’t notice it. The Russian guy says it appears to be “circling the area of the shootdown for 4 minutes”.
      It would be nice if the Investigators analyzed the data the Russians turned over, to see if the ATC radars could distinguish – just by radar signature – an Su-25 from an Su-27. I bet they can’t.
      And the radar data didn’t show anything about the “military aircraft” flying at 10,000 m – only that they saw it AFTER it climbed above 5km altitude, which was AFTER the MH17 Boeing was hit.

  24. Only problem in this Kremlin lies is that SU-25 ceiling is 7km and MH17 was flying more than 10km. Russians probably can’t think, but developed world knows that it’s impossible to hit flying plane from other flying plane with 30mm cannon in such a distance.

  25. This is very important news. It is essential that we know who brought down this civilian airliner and why because a dreadful crime has been committed against those on board.
    The US right, like Hilary Clinton, along with its allies like Tony Abbott, wanted to blame Russia for this crime. Now they are going to have to back down.
    It would be wise for some of these pollies to sit back and wait for the results of the Dutch investigation team rather than making stupid threats against Vladimir Putin. he may not be a nice man, but that does not mean he was responsible for the downing of MH17.
