Getting Past The Lies

By Gordon Duff with Jim W. Dean

Scroll below for Oriental Review’s take on this event:

Unconfirmed:  Malaysian plane mistaken for Putin’s private jet which had flown over the area only moments before, leaving Israel and the Kiev junta as prime suspects.  This may well have been an assassination attempt on Putin.

We have people on the scene now (1:45PM EST) who have found a bag of passports and medical equipment.  We will keep you updated.

With the beginning of the Israeli ground attack on Gaza, might they well claim the plane was:

1:  An “Egyptian horse barge,” shot down by mistake

2: Spying on Israeli troop movements

(ref:  USS Liberty Israeli cover stories)

From Mike Harris:

—

Initial stories, traced back to Israeli intelligence, that a Russian jet is responsible for downing the Malaysian Airlines 777 with all aboard, are being disseminated to anyone stupid enough to listen.  Showing their hand this early is a monumental blunder.

Here is what we have so far, unconfirmed.  An American built F 15 fighter took off from an airfield in Azerbaijan.  Back in 2010, Azerbaijan claimed that this and one other airfield was taken over by Armenian militants.  However, these two facilities were home to Israeli aircraft that relocated there as while participating in training exercises with the Turkish Air Force.  Turkey allowed Israel to train pilots in strategic bombing in areas selected because they closely resembled potential Israeli targets in Iran.

Israel would send 8 aircraft in for training with the Turks, 6 would return to Israel, two went on to Azerbaijan in preparation for a planned air assault on Iran.  To aid this effort, Saudi Arabia put out cover stories stating that it had denied Israeli requests to cross their territory to attack Iran.

These bases are supplied through the Georgian seaport of Poti.  Armaments for the “attack that never happened” were offloaded in Poti by the USS Grapple in 2010 and shipped with help of Chechen extremists working with the Jamestown Foundation and Rand Corporation.

Those two organizations were recently found to be working with groups in Turkey in support of ISIS operations in Iraq as reported by Jeffrey Silverman, Veterans Today Bureau Chief working out of Tbilisi.

The reason for the attack on the airliner is not clear and can only be speculated on.  This is an extremely serious incident.  Pro-Russian separatists in the Ukraine have no air defense systems capable of operating that high, or a need for them with air ground attack being their main concern.  US surveillance which includes AWAC, drones and satellites is capable of detecting the launch of any air defense missile, ground based, capable of reaching the necessary 32,000 foot altitude.

Such a weapon would have been spotted in seconds and, as all such systems in the region are under continual surveillance due to the sensitive nature of the conflict and the history of allegations made, making claims we expect to be made outlandish.

There are questions.  Why two Malaysian Airlines planes?  If someone or something so threatening that this act was seen as ”reasonable and justified,” even by the Israelis, was undertaken, we will never hear the truth.  Minimally, biological or chemical agents capable of global holocaust would have to have been onboard.

After the disappearance of Flight 370, author Chris Bollyn published photographs of a plane that looked identical to flight 370 stating that plane was in Israel and was likely to be used by that nation in a terror attack.  The story, both fascinating and yet reeking of wild conspiracy theory, dominated alternative media for some time.  There is now serious reason to reassess the story, why was it written, what were the sources and was it simply a hoax or tied to something far more serious.

The only other possibility is destabilization of the region and to push for a world war.  It is reasonable to suggest that an Israeli plane was involved because we know they have the only clandestine capability within the region.

As to the plot or reason, simply blaming Israel is not supportable, no more than blaming Hamas for murdering the 3 children a few short weeks ago.

Thus, we assume these as high probability:

• An aircraft was used, most likely an American built F15 because of range and capability.
• Azerbaijan was used because we know of clandestine bases there, which were confirmed by military officers who defected to Iran in 2013.
• We know Israel has some role, yet undefined, because they are spreading stories blaming Russia.
• As this is a second Malaysian Airlines plane to go down, we look for false stories regarding Israel and Malaysian planes and reassess their meaning.
• As is always the case, que bono, who benefits?

We ask readers to watch the world news and those in the region, report directly to our bureau there.
