Thanks Greg for some truth for a change. The real reason the West wants to attack Russia is the formation of the BRICS Nations and heaven forbid their own bank that will eventually rival our Central Bankers.These bankers have destroyed our economies with money printing created as debt which continues to enslave us.

Putin was part of their New World Order but now has jumped ship for freedom.

This is by far the most comprehensive account I have yet read of what really happened to Malaysian Airlines flight MH17. The link to The Malaysian Airline MH17 Crash: Sixteen Central Issues Which Cannot be Ignored by Julie Lévesque makes for compelling reading.
And I second Arjay's comment about sanctions being the main game as far as the West is concerned. For the West, it is imperative that Russia is impoverished, or at least financially crippled, before the new BRICS bank can get up and running. And lest we think it is only Russia that is in the cross-hairs of destabilisation, does anyone else find it suspiciously opportune that just yesterday an incident in China's Xinjiang Province involving the local Uighurs blew up.
Further to the role of the Ukraine Air Force in the war against the Donbas separatists, a video from The Saker website (which I can no longer find - sorry) has a separatist telling how Ukraine jets had been flying over disputed territory by hiding in the slip stream of commercial airliners, dropping down to loose their bombs, and scooting back up to regain cover. Plausible, and one reason why the separatists could have accidentally shot down the Malaysian airliner.
But I still think in the end, if we ever get that far, we will find that it was an air-to-air missile, and not a ground-to-air one, that brought the airliner down.
Another question to consider is why is it proving so difficult to get the independent police on the ground at the crash site. Could it be that the Ukrainian forces are pushing for control of this area prior to the observers being able to gather any forensic evidence because they know that that evidence will put the lie to their claim that Russia did it?

Greg, either enlist the services of a subeditor or re-read and critically edit your own work and the large number of typos mark you as an amateur.

Cut out some of the asides and jargon, then reduce the number of adverbs and adjectives to a minimum and your otherwise excellent work will become readable and reach a wider audience.

Congratulations Gregory.

"Along with being an tireless campaigner against official corruption" you win the Order of Lenin for this unreadable 2,900 word damp-squid.

I understand the film based on this article will be a sure runner-up at the Dapto Film Festival.

You'll have a packed audience of all 9 of the special loonies on OLO. Two, so far, are above.

Good luck with the self-published book on Amazon. Maybe bribe capitalist Amazon extra for placement in the Curious but Unread section.

Yes, true!
But the response then and now, is entirely different!
No great power, or or seriously armed regional dissidents, prevented the Iranian bodies being found, and returned to grieving relatives, all of who, were at least offered some compensation and a mia culpa/sincere apologies, from/by the US!
Were that we could have just that much real show of real remorse from the callous and indifferent Russians, who created this disaster, with their stage managed attempted annexation of another nation's sovereign territory!
And in so doing, need to remain cognoscenti, what's good for the goose is good for the gander!
Rhrosty.

Oh Greg has the revelation that all mankind is open to corruption and the US is no different. Thank God though that up until recent times the inclusion of biblical principles has made US a superpower and a country where multitudes wanted to live. Now that the secularist have infiltrated all institutions corruption has increased dramatically and the country is stuffed. I doubt though it has reached the corruption levels of the likes of Hamas or the United Nations.
