MH-17 inquiry, Episode 5: 'It was shot down by a MiG'

The 5th episode of MH-17 Inquiry has just been released, and it looks like a blockbuster.

Contrary to all speculation heretofore that Malaysian airlines flight MH-17 might have been shot down by a SU-25 - an aircraft primarily intended for the ground attack role - the producers of this documentary advance a different theory.

The MiG-29 has the speed, operational ceiling, and armament to shoot down a Boeing 777. And Ukraine has plenty of the fighters in its inventory.

More MH17 docs released; Dutch assumed pro-Russian separatists responsible

A court forced the Ministry of Security and Justice to publish more documents on the disaster with flight MH17 thanks to a joint call on the Freedom of Information Act by broadcasters NOS and RTL Nieuws and the Volkskrant. A number of new details were revealed, including that the Dutch government assumed from the first that [pro]-Russian separatists were behind the downing of the plane.

The documents released are the interpretation in reports of the National Coordinator for Counterterrorism and Security written shortly after the disaster. It involves facts over what happened, the perpetrators and large problems expected to follow. RTL Nieuws published the documents on their website.

The Dutch government quickly realized that no one could have survived the crash and that there were probably many Dutch victims. They were right - 196 of the 298 victims were Dutch. "Given the images of the crash, the probability of survivors is nil", the documents read. And: "(...) it is very likely that some of the victims are of Dutch nationality. Given the holiday period it is likely that there were several children on board."

Comment: Maybe certain documents requested are not being released because there is still mileage to be had by blaming Russia with false accusations and propaganda. Even if the Dutch are willing to share what they know, the instigators of the Ukraine pivot to the West are not likely to let that happen. The longer it takes for any official records to surface, the more assuredly the Ukraine or the West had its hand in this dreadful, false flag tragedy.

Closet racists? Bill and Hillary's history of destroying the African American community

clinton
Racism in America is a sensitive issue for politicians especially among U.S. presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. The question you need to ask yourself is Hillary Clinton a true champion of the African-American community? Her husband and former U.S. president Bill Clinton was called "the first black president" by author Toni Morrison in The New Yorker in 1998 where she wrote "white skin notwithstanding, this is our first black President. Blacker than any actual black person who could ever be elected in our children's lifetime." Morrison's comment did not have any merit regarding President Clinton as the "first black president", in fact his actions against the African American community suggests otherwise.

Does Hillary Clinton on the other hand care about the plight of a minority group who suffers from high-unemployment and incarceration rates that seems to be increasing year after year? Actions do speak louder than words and sometimes in Hillary Clinton's case "words" alone can say it all. You don't have to dig deep to find out the truth about Bill and Hillary's actions against the African American community.

Migrant crisis: Germany plans to flood Greece with unwanted refugees

Germany's Interior Minister argues that the country has done more than its fair share in attending to the migrant crisis caused by the gruesome conflict in Syria and that Greece should be forced to take on more refugees.

For the first time in five years, Germany has begun contemplating the idea of sending migrants back to Greece as Chancellor Angela Merkel's national popularity plummets from public outcry against her open door policy - a political shift that may have lasting reverberations throughout the European Union.

Comment: This is just what Greece doesn't need right now thanks to Germany pressing Greece into austerity.

Former Swedish Prime Minister: No doubt that Gülen was behind Turkey's coup attempt

There is no doubt that U.S.-based Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen and his movement were at the center of the failed coup attempt of July 15, former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt has said during a European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) delegation visit to Ankara.

"When I saw the coup attempt on television, the first suspect that came to my mind regarding who could have done this was Gülen. Developments since that day have clearly revealed that Gülen and the organization he leads were at the center of this attempt," Bildt was quoted as saying by state-run Anadolu Agency.

"In my talks both in Turkey and with foreign experts following Turkey, I saw that nobody has any doubt that Gülen was at the center of the coup attempt," he said.

Earlier, Bildt had also noted on Twitter that the delegation had not encountered a single person who doubted Gülen's involvement in the coup attempt.

U.S.-Russian Syria deal falls through again - Washington won't give up on its al-Qaeda allies

obama
© Jonathan Ernst / ReutersAl-Qaeda's biggest fan: U.S. President Barack Obama at the G20 Summit, in Hangzhou, China September 4, 2016.
Since the February ceasefire in Syria, which was broken by U.S.-supported Jihadis, Russia tried to press the U.S. into fulfilling the UN Security Council resolution 2254. The resolution signs off on the ceasefire but demands that all nations continue to fight the Islamic State and al-Qaeda.

But the U.S. continued to support al-Qaeda and its various front groups in Syria like Ahrar al-Sham and Jund al-Aqsa. "Moderate rebels" were armed with modern weapons by the U.S. and trained in camps in Turkey and Jordan. They were sent to Syria to integrated with al-Qaeda and made it impossible to fight one group without hitting the other. The U.S. used this ploy to protect al-Qaeda from Russian and Syrian attacks. Such attacks, it claimed, would break the ceasefire as they would also hit its "moderate rebels".

To gain some negotiating advantage Russia and its Syrian allies closed all access to east-Aleppo which is held by Jihadis. The U.S.-sponsored rebels and al-Qaeda responded with an attack in south Aleppo which then broke the newly established siege.

Comment: On Friday, Lavrov was somewhat optimistic, saying Moscow and Washington were seeing eye to eye and reaching an understanding on "most" Syrian issues during daily contacts between diplomats, military and intelligence personnel.
Lavrov added that "virtually all components of this task are already clear, an understanding has been reached on most issues." He emphasized however that the relations cannot continue if the USA continues to associate with terrorist groups in Syria. "The most important thing is that any agreements with the Americans on practical actions, on coordination of operations against terrorists will not be implemented if our American partners do not keep their promise to dissociate themselves from terrorists, above all, the Jabhat al-Nusra," he said. "Many of the groups considered acceptable by the US have actually affiliated with Jabhat al-Nusra, while Jabhat al-Nusra is using them to avoid being attacked."
Earlier today, the Russians were still publicly optimistic, Deputy FM Sergei Ryabkov saying a deal to work out a real ceasefire and U.S./Russian military cooperation was close:
"I will say that we are close to reaching a deal [with the United States]... there are no grounds to expect that everything would collapse," Ryabkov told reporters. Ryabkov added that at the same time he could not predict the date, when it would be announced about the reached agreement. "I think that this agreement could allow us to better understand, where are the terrorists that pose threat, including for Russia... and where are people, who do not consider the incumbent Damascus authorities as legitimate, but are ready to participate in a political process," Ryabkov said...
Of course, such statements could just be designed for public consumption; the Russians may well have predicted that the U.S. would not budge on its love for terrorists, so by appearing optimistic and willing to negotiate, it's the U.S. that ends up looking bad when the deal falls through because the U.S. refused to break up with their al-Qaeda boyfriends. But then came the inevitable "temporary setback" MoA describes above:
"Russians walked back on some of the areas we thought we were agreed on, so we are going back to capitals to consult," an unnamed senior State Department official was quoted as saying. The source did not provide additional information on the issues in question.

US President Barack Obama was cautious, if not alarming, when talking about the progress in the talks that were launched in mid-2016. "We're not there yet," he said on the sidelines of the G20 summit in China. "We have grave differences with the Russians in terms of both the parties we support but also the process that is required to bring about peace in Syria." "It's premature for us to say that there is a clear path forward, but there is the possibility at least for us to make some progress on that front," Obama added.
Because the U.S. supports al-Qaeda. Putin commented:
"We insist (and our American partners have had no objections to this) that the so-called 'healthy' opposition must be separated from radical groups and terrorist organizations, like al-Nusra Front. However, we have an impression that al-Nusra Front and the like are play acting, even rebranding themselves, but nothing has actually changed," Putin said. Radical groups have absorbed the moderate opposition, he added. "Apart from this, this is not a component of a domestic fight. These are foreign fighters who receive weapons and ammunition from abroad. In fact, our American partners agree with this, but they have no idea, how to do it," Putin said, referring to the efforts to separate terrorists from non-terrorists.
Lavrov and Kerry plan to continue talks on Monday.

Crisis looming as clock winds down on Afghan 'unity government' deal

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani (left) and Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah
Two years after a contentious, fraud-marred presidential election pushed Afghanistan to the brink of another bloody civil war, the country is once again staring into the abyss.

The compromise power deal signed by political rivals Ashraf Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah to avert that crisis expires at the end of this month, threatening to upend the beleaguered South Asian state's governing order with no clear alternative at hand.

The so-called national unity government (NUG) effectively installing President Ghani and Chief Executive Abdullah in September 2014 was a temporary solution to pave the way for an overhaul of the political system within two years.

Hillary Clinton: Rarely seen, heard or given access to by reporters assigned to follow her on campaign trail

killary rarely seen


The Democrat lets reporters trail her but tucks them away to keep them out of sight and herself out of reach.


Hillary Clinton has never felt comfortable with the traveling political press.

As first lady, she would sometimes arrange travel for herself and Chelsea separate from her husband, partly to avoid the protective pool of reporters assigned to the president. In 2008, she "fought tooth and nail," former aides said, to avoid sharing the plane with her press corps and relented only when her campaign was running out of money and had to either bring the reporters on board or downgrade to commercial.

And in 2016, with plenty of cash and a winning position in the race, Clinton has managed to keep the press at arm's length - preserving her private plane as a refuge where the only people around are her trusted campaign aides.

That changes on Labor Day, when the reporters and their press-leery candidate will for the first time board a "Stronger Together"-wrapped 737 from New York to Ohio to Iowa, and remain flying companions for the final stretch of the campaign.

Comment: From this NY Times article, further confirmation that Kill is doing one of the things she does best: shmoozing and asking for money. But take note of this prescient statement:
At a private fund-raiser Tuesday night at a waterfront Hamptons estate, Hillary Clinton danced alongside Jimmy Buffett, Jon Bon Jovi and Paul McCartney, and joined in a singalong finale to "Hey Jude."

"I stand between you and the apocalypse," a confident Mrs. Clinton declared to laughs, exhibiting a flash of self-awareness and humor to a crowd that included Calvin Klein and Harvey Weinstein and for whom the prospect of a Donald J. Trump presidency is dire.

Mr. Trump has pointed to Mrs. Clinton's noticeably scant schedule of campaign events this summer to suggest she has been hiding from the public. But Mrs. Clinton has been more than accessible to those who reside in some of the country's most moneyed enclaves and are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to see her. In the last two weeks of August, Mrs. Clinton raked in roughly $50 million at 22 fund-raising events, averaging around $150,000 an hour, according to a New York Times tally.
Given Kill's inflammatory rhetoric and self-serving accusations towards Russia in recent weeks, we can probably take her at her word.

The other speech: Hillary the hawk spreads her wings

Hillary Clinton
While the media and the American people were avidly watching and commenting on Donald Trump's much-awaited immigration speech, another peroration by a presidential candidate somehow got overlooked: Hillary Clinton's appearance before the American Legion. Overshadowed by Trump's visit to Mexico, and his subsequent stem-winder, Hillary's performance was greeted with tepid applause by her military audience, and pointedly ignored by her media cheering section. The reason for the latter's silence is perhaps due to the fact that it underscores one of her biggest vulnerabilities: her militant interventionism in an age when the American people are sick and tired of foreign wars.

She didn't waste any time getting down to her basic theme. Once through the preliminaries, she said:

"Thanks for your service in our armed forces. You wore the uniform. You took an oath. You put your life on the line to protect the greatest country on Earth. There are some who may argue with that, but not around me."

Who is she talking about? I've never heard anyone dispute that our soldiers put their lives on the line: and while a few old-fashioned Marxists and so-called "social justice warriors" may disagree that this is the greatest country on earth, they're all supporting her, if I'm not mistaken, rather than Trump. So whom is she arguing with?

Incredibly, she is trying to characterize her opponent - someone who has adopted "America First" as his campaign slogan - as being somehow anti-American.
