On Tuesday August 11th, the Dutch Public Prosecutor
announced that the Dutch Safety Board (DSB) and the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) had investigated several parts,
possibly originating from a Buk surface-to-air missile system, that had been found during a previous recovery mission in eastern Ukraine.
Chief investigator with the Dutch National Prosecutors' Office, Fred Westerbeke,
remarked on the announcement:
"We found seven parts. Parts that from the first investigation were shown to not originate from the plane. Further investigation showed that these parts probably originate from a missile system - and most likely even a BUK missile system. They were found during the various recovery operations that took place a month or two ago and you can imagine that we are talking here about a complete aircraft - or a big part of an aircraft - with all kinds of pieces that have been brought here and researched and where reconstruction takes place. So it's not something to be viewed as: well, here are a few pieces, do some research on it, and that's it. This concerns a gigantic research of which these pieces are a part."
Westerbeke stresses that he is involved in an ongoing and serious investigation that takes time, yet talks freely to the press about the possibility that the non-Boeing pieces might be from a Buk missile launcher! Along with this blatant attempt to influence the investigation, the Public Prosecutor stated in the same announcement that "
at present the conclusion cannot be drawn that there is a causal connection between the discovered parts and the crash of flight MH17." Are these people schizophrenic? Or are we expected to believe that a Buk missile launcher just happened to be found among the wreckage but wasn't used to shoot down MH17 as Western governments and their media lackey's have been touting for over a year? The Dutch investigation team are clearly talking out of both sides of their mouths and this investigation is already a consummate farce with a conclusion established long before the final report is delivered.
Of course, the mainstream media wasted no time in seizing on the statements and using them in the latest round of the game "Let's all defame Russia". To name a few examples of many: BBC's "
MH17: 'Russian missile parts' at Ukraine crash site", The Independent's
"MH17 crash: Fragments of Russian missile BUK launcher found at crash site", Yahoo News' "
MH17 probe finds 'probable' Russian missile pieces at crash site".
Despite making these claims that they surely knew would end up making global headlines, the Joint Investigation Team spokesman Wim de Bruin
cynically told RT: "
it's too early to draw any conclusion at this moment."
Comment: Obviously the police don't want the public to become aware of their blatantly criminal actions:
