UKRAINE RELEASES YOUTUBE CLIP “PROVING” REBELS SHOT DOWN MALAYSIAN FLIGHT MH-17
Is this merely yet another false flag provocation?

by ZERO HEDGE Almost
exactly one year ago, the world was nearly brought to the verge of a
global war by proxy involving the US and Russia (and Europe and China)
over a staged, false flag YouTube clip “proving” the Assad regime had
used toxic gas (gas that was made in Britain as it was later revealed)
to kill several hundred civilians in the country’s ongoing war against
what subsequently turned out to be al-Qaeda funded and trained rebels
(and which now are fighting across the border with another former
US-puppet state, Iraq). Luckily, back
then an all out confrontation was averted in the last minute over what
was ultimately nothing but a gambit by Qatar to have its gas pipeline
enter Europe and leave Gazprom in the cold (literally and
metaphorically).
A year later, it is
deja vu all over again, when the same energy and geopolitical tensions
(Europe, natural gas, etc) are once again at the frontline, and while
the theater of combat may be different, the same key players – Russia
and the US – are once again behind the proxy conflict in Ukraine, and
where Gazprom is once again the fulcrum party. The only missing link was
a YouTube clip which would bring the world to the edge of war again.
Moments ago Ukraine released what may be just that missing “YouTube” link, when it unveiled a 2:23
minute video supposedly proving that “militants of “Bes” group shot
down with a Russian anti-aircraft missile a Malaysian Airlines Boeing
777 passenger jet heading from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.”
In the clip, Ukraine
presents what it alleges are several recorded conversations, first of
all between a pro-Russian separatist and his coordinator Vasyl Geranin,
who is said to be a colonel of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the
General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces. In summary, this conversation
talks about the downing of a jet. There is no distinction whether this
is a civilian or a military jet, and may well refer to the shot down
Ukrainian Su-25 which we reported earlier today was shot down overnight,
and which Ukraine at first claimed had been shot down by a Russian
warplane, something which Russia promptly denied hours later (and before
the Malaysian Airline tragedy happened).
The purported smoking gun
is “revealed” in the second section which begins 43 seconds and lasting
one minute in between a “Major” and “Grek” who are also allegedly
Russian rebels. It is here that the conversation goes into explicit
detail describing the contents of the downed airplane, and makes it
clear that it is a civilian airplane, describing the civilian carnage,
and stopping just why of naming this a Malaysian Airlines flight.
This is the key segment as
it explicitly makes it clear that the plane the alleged separatists in
the first part were talking about was not the Su-25 but MH 17. The only
problem is that there is absolutely no way to confirm who “Major” and
“Grek” are, and considering the entire Ukraine civil war has been merely
one provocation and counter-provocation after another, explicitly
staged in advance by either the CIA on the side of Kiev or the Kremlin
on the Russian side, one does have to wonder whether the said two
“smoking gun” participants aren’t merely two random people speaking
Russian and reading off a script?
The clip concludes with
another unnamed “Militant” who supposedly is speaking to Mykola
Kozitsyn, one of the purported leaders of the Cossacks operating in east
Ukraine. The Militant makes it clear to Kozitsyn that it is not a
military plane and has “Malaysian Airlines” written on the side. One
wonders just where one could find such writing on the side of the
crashed and exploded fuselage but that one is for the forensics to
decide.
In other words, if indeed
all the participants in this YouTube are as they have been presented,
then surely this does put the pro-Russian rebel movement in a very
unsavory light.

DETAILS OF VICTIMS START TO EMERGE AS UKRAINE REBELS ALLOW ACCESS TO CRASH SITE
by NICK HALLETT
Pro-Russian separatists are to give international investigators access to the crash site of the downed Malaysian Airlines jet in eastern Ukraine. The BBC reports that the rebels have pledged to secure the site and allow for bodies to be recovered.
Both sides in the conflict
have blamed each other, with the Ukrainian government describing it as a
"act of terror" and accusing Russian-backed rebels of shooting the
plane down with a missile.
At a press conference
earlier, Huib Gorter, Senior Vice President of Malaysian Airlines,
confirmed that so far they have identified that 154 of the passengers
were Dutch, 27 Australian, 43 Malaysian (including the 15 crew), 12
Indonesian, nine British, four German, three Philippino, and one
Canadian.
The dead include several delegates heading to an Aids conference in Australian, including world-renowned researcher Joep Lange. According to the Telegraph, the first Briton has been named as Glenn Thomas, a former BBC journalist who worked for the World Health Organisation.
The Boeing 777 was flying
from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur when it was downed over eastern Ukraine.
It fell around the border of the Luhansk and Shakhtarsk regions, in
territory under rebel control, meaning that Ukrainian authorities have
been unable to access it.
Ukraine has now declared
the territory a no-fly zone, although flight data today showed that just
about every plane in the region is avoiding the entire country.
