On the MH17 'bullet holes' stories. There's been a huge surge of stories insisting MH17 wreckage damage proves 'MH17 was shot down by cannon fire'. I've rarely seen a more concerted disinfo campaign. Very interesting to consider why this is being done. http://www.infowars.com/mh17-wreckage-seems-to-show-it-was-struck-with-bullets-and-a-r-60-air-to-air-missile/ http://wakeupfromyourslumber.com/blog/tom-sullivan/osce-monitors-identify-shrapnel-and-machine-gun-holes-no-evidence-missile-attack http://www.iraq-war.ru/article/317465 http://www.iraq-war.ru/article/317375 http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/entertainment/drama/news.php?q=1406816375 http://www.globalresearch.ca/support-mh17-truth-osce-monitors-identify-shrapnel-like-holes-indicating-shelling-no-firm-evidence-of-a-missile-attack/5394324 20140805 http://vineyardsaker.blogspot.it/2014/08/just-the-baseless-hypothesis-of.html A different text. More 'bullets' crap. http://www.iraq-war.ru/article/317625 Who was Behind the Downing of MH17? OSCE Monitor Mentions Machine Gun “Bullet Holes” in MH17, No Evidence of Missile By CBC Global Research, August 03, 2014 Original source http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/malaysia… – OSCE monitor Michael Bociurkiw mentions bullet holes in #MH17, not able to find any missile so far. http://www.globalresearch.ca/who-was-behind-the-downing-of-mh17-osce-monitor-mentions-machine-gun-bullet-holes-in-mh17-no-evidence-of-missile/5394693 -------------------- My comment posted to that: Intriguing machinations by TerraHertz on 05.08.2014 [11:23] There's an amazing proliferation of these 'looks like bullet holes' stories, all based on that bit of cockpit wreckage seen leaning against a pole. I'm curious, how many here have actually downloaded the very hi-res images of that fragment, and studied the image closely? I won't say anything now about my conclusions from doing that. Just want to know how many others have, and what's your opinion of the 'bullet holes' line? Both re it's accuracy, and the implications of that story being pushed so widely, by so many sources. The root of that story is an article posted on July 26th 2014, here: htt p://www.anderweltonline.com/wissenschaft-und-technik/luftfahrt-2014/schockierende-analyse-zum-abschuss-der-malaysian-mh-017/ (German text) htt p://www.anderweltonline.com/wissenschaft-und-technik/luftfahrt-2014/shocking-analysis-of-the-shooting-down-of-malaysian-mh17/ (English text) Shocking Analysis of the ‘Shooting Down’ of Malaysian MH17 It has since been copied multiple times, for instance: htt p://investmentwatchblog.com/new-mh17-sensation-german-experts-point-finger-at-ukrainian-air-force-jets/ Surface to air missile attack ruled out as calibre of cockpit bullet holes puts Ukraine pilots in the frame for MH17 murders Even posted twice here on iraq-war. The article's central claim is that the damage seen is the result of fighter jet cannon fire, not a missile strike. Linked in the original German article, is this picture contained in a 2.37 MB pdf: htt p://www.anderweltonline.com/fileadmin/user_upload/PDF/Cockpit-MH017.pdf It's a hi-res (4096 x 2730) photo of the cockpit hull section clearly showing weapon impact. For those worried about pdfs, I have converted the image-in-a-pdf to a plain 2.79 MB jpg image (quality 10) here: htt p://everist.org/MH017/Cockpit-MH017_q10.jpg Not edited, just load pdf, select image, save-as jpg. I chose jpg quality factor 10 (which slightly increased the file size) to minimize jpg loss of detail. I'd have posted a non-lossy png, except then the file size was 14MB! Incidentally, there are _many_ very hi-res photos of MH17 crash wreckage, including a dozen or so more of that same fragment from different angles, online here: htt ps://secure.flickr.com/photos/jeroenakkermans/sets/ Jeroen Akkermans - RTL News Berlin Awaiting your comments. Am currently writing up my interpretation of that fragment, and other MH17 related issues. ------------------------- 20140809 http://www.bollyn.com/home/#article_14814 The Israeli Photo of MH17 - Who is Yaron Mofaz? Updated August 3, 2014 20140811 http://www.nst.com.my/node/20925 US analysts conclude MH17 downed by aircraft INTELLIGENCE analysts in the United States had already concluded that Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was shot down by an air-to-air missile, and that the Ukrainian government had had something to do with it. This corroborates an emerging theory postulated by local 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 to earth. In a damning report dated Aug 3, headlined “Flight 17 Shoot-Down Scenario Shifts”, Associated Press reporter Robert Parry said “some US intelligence sources had concluded that the rebels and Russia were likely not at fault and that it appears Ukrainian government forces were to blame”. This new revelation was posted on GlobalResearch, an independent research and media organisation. (More 'cannon fire' bullshit) 20140811 https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2014/08/09/mala-a09.html Malaysian press charges Ukraine government shot down MH 17 Well the Malaysians have spoken out! Ukraine shot down their airliner and murdered hundreds of people in an attempt to start WW3! A Thursday article in the New Straits Times, Malaysia’s flagship English-language newspaper, charged the US- and European-backed Ukrainian regime in Kiev with shooting down Malaysian Airlines flight MH 17 in east Ukraine last month. Given the tightly controlled character of the Malaysian media, it appears that the accusation that Kiev shot down MH17 has the imprimatur of the Malaysian state. 20140811 http://www.blacklistednews.com/Systematically_Reconstructing_the_Shoot-Down_of_the_Malaysian_Airliner:_The_Guilt_Is_Clear_and_Damning/37107/0/38/38/Y/M.html Systematically Reconstructing the Shoot-Down of the Malaysian Airliner: The Guilt Is Clear and Damning Only idiots would trust Britain to interpret these black boxes to determine what and who brought down that plane. But, fortunately, the physical evidence lying on the ground at the site in Ukraine was photographed very quickly by locals there and uploaded to the Internet sometimes before any fighters and any governments were able to tamper with anything; and there happened to be one modest-looking item found at the site that tells a remarkably complete and entirely credible and convincing account of how this plane came down. It tells that the Ukrainian Government itself did this airliner-downing, with bullets, not with shrapnel. You’ll see the evidence laid out before you here; you won’t need to rely upon the British Government to tell you how this event happened. The evidence will tell you that. 20140811 http://www.bollyn.com/#article_14832 Christopher Bollyn - "The Downing of MH17 - Is Israel Involved?" Furthermore, Yaron Mofaz, a relative of Shaul Mofaz, former chief of staff of the Israeli military, oddly took a photograph of the ill-fated Malaysian plane at the airport in Amsterdam shortly before it was shot down, which he then provided to Reuters. Yaron Mofaz also happens to be a director of a Mofaz family company that works closely with a company in Florida that owns a former Malaysia Airlines airliner, virtually identical to the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 and MH17. This Malaysian airliner, it just so happens, was sent to Israel in late 2013 where it was parked in a hangar in Tel Aviv. For these and other reasons it is logical that we consider the possibility that the shooting down of MH17 was an Israeli false-flag operation with a twist. Therefore, the real question is not whether Israel was involved, but to what degree was Israel involved in the atrocity? - (Christopher Bollyn falling for the 'bullet holes' line. Other points good. But fails to mention the RC vs RD mystery.) 20140816 http://vineyardsaker.blogspot.it/2014/08/mh17-we-know-with-99-certainty-who-shot.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpDKuN3cV_o#t=486 MH17 - We know with 99% certainty who shot down MH17 - updated Aug 12 20140823 http://themillenniumreport.com/2014/08/boeing-777-was-downed-by-ukrainian-mig-29-romanian-expert-says/ Boeing-777 was downed by Ukrainian MiG-29, Romanian expert says “A surface-to-air missile, with a warhead weighing from 40 to 70 kilos, explodes not inside the object of destruction, but near it, at a distance of 50-100 meters. The detonation of the warhead produces a shock wave that disperses fragments with high velocities. They can puncture the fuselage of an aircraft, but given the size of the Boeing-777 (73 meters long, with a large wingspan), they can not lead to the destruction of the aircraft in separate smaller parts, as it happens with the aircraft that are 7-10 times smaller. Such fragments, when hitting a Boeing-777, can rupture the fuel system of the aircraft. The fuel can spread on the fuselage and wings, setting the whole plane on fire,” said the expert. 20140824 http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-causes-of-the-mh17-crash-are-classified-ukraine-netherlands-australia-belgium-signed-a-non-disclosure-agreement/5397194 The Causes of the MH17 Crash are “Classified”. Ukraine, Netherlands, Australia, Belgium Signed a “Non-disclosure Agreement” On August 8, Ukraine, the Netherlands, Australia and Belgium signed a non-disclosure agreement pertaining to data obtained during the investigation into the causes of the crash of Malaysian Airlines MH17 In the framework of the 4-country agreement signed on 8 August between Ukraine, the Netherlands, Belgium and Australia, information on the progress and results of the investigation of the disaster will remain classified. IF true, this silence is meant to continue to frame Russia and exonerate Ukraine. As reported in counterpsyops.com on 10 August 2014: A Thursday article in the New Straits Times, Malaysia’s flagship English-language newspaper, charged the US- and European-backed Ukrainian regime in Kiev with shooting down Malaysian Airlines flight MH 17 in east Ukraine last month. Given the tightly controlled character of the Malaysian media, it appears that the accusation that Kiev shot down MH17 has the imprimatur of the Malaysian state. The US and European media have buried this remarkable report, which refutes the wave of allegations planted by the CIA in international media claiming that Russian president Vladimir Putin was responsible for the destruction of MH17, without presenting any evidence to back up this charge. The New Straits Times article, titled “US analysts conclude MH17 downed by aircraft,” lays out evidence that Ukrainian fighter aircraft attacked the jetliner with first a missile, then with bursts of 30-millimeter machine gun fire from both sides of MH17. The Russian army has already presented detailed radar and satellite data showing a Ukrainian Sukhoi-25 fighter jet tailing MH17 shortly before the jetliner crashed. The Kiev regime denied that its fighters were airborne in the area, however. The New Straits Times article began, “Intelligence analysts in the United States have already concluded that Malaysia flight MH17 was shot down by an air-to-air missile, and that the Ukrainian government had had something to do with it. This corroborates an emerging theory postulated by local investigators that the Boeing 777-200 was crippled by an air-to-air missile and finished off with cannon fire from a jet that had been shadowing it as it plummeted to earth.” It cited “experts who had said that the photographs of the blast fragmentation patterns on the fuselage of the airliner showed 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.”
