After an avalanche of accusations by the US in July, no US evidence at all was included in the Dutch preliminary report in September. Pro-Russian forces delivered the black boxes to the Dutch within 3 days of the disaster, and yesterday Russia presented the radar data of the scene.
Last time, false intelligence information was used to launch a war in Iraq. This time it is on a much bigger scale - fueling Cold War 2.0.... US public remains under the almost impenetrable misinformation bubble. However, Europe is not likely to join this adventure, where it has a lot to lose... In Libya, Syria, Ukraine, the body counts are real, the rest of the information dubious...
- 08:48:According to Malaysia Airlines, there were 154 Dutch passengers, 43 Malaysians, including 15 crew, 27 Australians, 12 Indonesians, four Germans, four Belgians, three Filipinos and one Canadian on board the doomed flight.
Luggage and belongings are seen near the site of Thursday's Boeing 777 plane crash, near the settlement of Grabovo in the Donetsk region.

MH17
- Initially, US claimed MH17 was downed by ground to air missiles SA-11 (Russian) or BUK (Russian). Now data from various sources suggests it was downed by air to air fire.

Absence of America’s so-called “intelligence” regarding the downing of Malaysia Airlines MH17 over Ukraine in a 34 page Dutch Safety Board preliminary report raises serious questions about the credibility and legitimacy of both America’s political agenda, and all agencies, organizations, and political parties currently behind it.

The report titled, “Preliminary Report: Crash involving Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200 flight MH17″ (.pdf), cites a wide variety of evidence in its attempt to determine the cause of flight MH17′s crash and to prevent similar accidents or incidents from occurring again in the future. Among this evidence includes the cockpit voice recorder (CVR), the flight data recorder (FDR), analysis of recorded air traffic control (ATC) surveillance data and radio communication, analysis of the meteorological circumstances, forensic examination of the wreckage (if recovered and possible foreign objects if found), results of the pathological investigation, and analysis of the in-flight break up sequence.
Satellite images are referenced in regards to analyzing the crash site after the disaster, however, no where in the report is mentioned any evidence whatsoever of satellite images of missile launchers, intelligence from the United States regarding missile launches, or any information or evidence at all in any regard suggesting a missile had destroyed MH17. In fact, the report concludes by stating:

With the black boxes in hand and a wealth of data from multiple sources both onboard the aircraft and from the ground in both Ukraine and Russia, the Dutch Safety Board was still hesitant to draw any conclusions and insisted that none be jumped to.
The report specifically mentions information collected from Russia, including air traffic control and radar data – both of which were publicly shared by Russia in the aftermath of the disaster. The report also cites data collected from Ukraine air traffic controllers. The United States however, apart from providing technical information about the aircraft itself considering it was manufactured in the US, provided absolutely no data in any regard according to the report.

Missing US Intel Points to Fabrications
Had the US actually possessed any credible information to substantiate its claims that MH17 was shot down by a missile, such evidence surely would have been submitted to and included in the Dutch Safety Board’s preliminary reporting. That it is predictably missing confirms what commentators, analysts, and politicians around the world had long since suspected – the West’s premature conclusions regarding MH17′s demise were driven by a political agenda, not a factually based search for the truth. The evidence that MH17 was shot down by a missile as the West insisted is missing because it never existed in the first place.
That the Dutch Safety Board possesses such a vast amount of information but is still unable to draw anything but the most tentative conclusions, exposes the alleged certainty of Western pundits and politicians in the hours and days after MH17′s loss as an utterly irresponsible, politically motivated, exploitation of tragedy at best, and at worst, exposing the West – NATO in particular – as possible suspects in a crime they clearly stood the most to benefit from.
Fabrications Establish Motive
In the wake of the MH17 tragedy, the West would rush through a series of sanctions against Russia as well as justify further military aid for the regime in Kiev, Ukraine and the literal Neo-Nazi militant battalions serving its pro-Western agenda amid a brutal civil war raging in the country’s eastern most provinces. With sanctions in hand, and the war raging on in earnest, the MH17 disaster dropped entirely out of Western narratives as if it never occurred. Surely if the West had solid evidence implicating eastern Ukrainian rebels and/or Russia, the world would never have heard the end of the MH17 disaster until the truth was fully aired before the public.

For example, Reuters in a report titled, “Malaysia: Dutch report suggests MH-17 shot down from ground,” would brazenly claim:
The title of Reuters’ propaganda piece directly contradicts its first paragraph which reveals “experts,” not the actual Dutch Safety Board report, claimed it was “shot down from the ground,” while the report itself says nothing of the sort. The experts cited by Reuters in fact had no association whatsoever with the preliminary report and instead are the same mainstay of cherry picked commentators the West constantly defers to while building up and perpetuating utterly fabricated narratives to advance its agenda globally.
The lesson to be learned from the MH17 disaster is that real investigations and their subsequent conclusions take time – weeks or even months. Anyone drawing immediate conclusions within hours or days after an event like the MH17 disaster are exploiting tragedy at best, and at worst implicate themselves as suspects having created it in the first place to serve as impetus for further chaos, conflict, and confusion.
Those incapable of resisting the need to jump to conclusions are those who are least suitable to lead. The United States, United Kingdom, and the European Union have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are at best tasteless, irresponsible, politically motivated exploiters of human tragedy, and at worst, the prime suspects of a heinous act of mass murder aimed at perpetuating their agenda of war and carnage in Ukraine and beyond.

BBC time line of same day responses to the incident
03:04:
Australian PM Tony Abbott speaks in Parliament: "This is a grim day for our country and it's a grim day for our world." He says MH17 was shot down, "it seems by Russia-backed rebels".
- 03:52:In a statement, the White House has urged Russia, pro-Russian separatists and Ukraine "to support an immediate cease-fire in order to ensure safe and unfettered access to the crash site for international investigators and in order to facilitate the recovery of remains".
- 03:54:The White House statement went on to demand that no evidence be tampered with, and called on Russia to de-escalate the crisis and support a path to peace.
- 04:44:American officials say they suspect a Russian-made missile had shot down MH17, reports The New York Times. An adviser to the Ukrainian interior minister had earlier alleged that the missile was fired by a Russian-made Buk launcher.
- 06:54:American foreign policy expert Damon Wilson tells the BBC that Russia's President Putin seems to be using his usual tactics in relation to the latest disaster - "taking something for which he has a great sense of culpability and blaming it on Ukraine".
- 07:31:Professor Michael Clarke, of the Royal United Services Institute, tells the BBC that the evidence gathered so far points to a mistaken attack by Russian separatist forces. "We know that the separatists actually boasted on 29 June that they had captured an SA-11 air defence system from the Ukrainians... We've also got the evidence that's been coming out overnight that the leader of the separatists Igor Strelkov... tweeted that he had brought down an Antanov 26 Russian transport. He then deleted that tweet very very quickly."
- 07:53:In an article in the Daily Telegraph, Royal United Services Institute Fellow Shashank Joshi argues that "this is about as bad as it could get for Moscow". He says that after months of sponsoring a covert war in Ukraine's borders, "it looks increasingly plausible - though far from certain - that one of their proxies might be responsible for the biggest act of terror in modern European history" - bigger even than the Madrid train bombing of 2004 with 191 fatalities.
- 08:10:Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott describes Russia's response to the downing of MH17 as "deeply, deeply unsatisfactory". Mr Abbott has argued that the crash was "not an accident, but a crime".
- 08:47:The Buk surface-to-air missile system that pro-Russian separatists allegedly used to shoot down the Malaysian plane has been sneaked into Russia overnight, Anton Herashchenko, adviser to the Ukrainian interior minister, says on Facebook. (BBC Monitoring)
09:10:
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott is demanding an independent inquiry into the downing of a Malaysian jetliner and says Russia's response is "deeply, deeply unsatisfactory."
09:11:
Pictures have emerged showing a convoy of pro-Russian militants allegedly transporting the Buk surface-to-air system to the location from which it supposedly shot down the Malaysian airliner. They have been circulated by pro-Ukrainian journalist Dmytro Tymchuk, an authoritative military reporter in Ukraine, according to BBC Monitoring
09:13:
"The Russians are done for. This is an international crime which must be investigated by the international tribunal in The Hague," Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk says. Speaking at a meeting in Kiev, he also said that Ukraine should prepare for "full restrictions" on trade with Russia, Interfax-Ukraine news agency reports.
09:32:
Statement from Ukrainian ombudsman Valeriya Lutkovska: "It is hurtful to accept and it is even more difficult to understand the deaths of hundreds of innocent people including 80 children. Previously, these monsters from the so-called [separatist] Donetsk and Luhansk people's republics killed, maimed and used Ukrainian children as a live shield. Now, they have reached out with their bloodied hands towards children from all over the world." (BBC Monitoring via Interfax-Ukraine).
09:43:
Ukrainian authorities release what they say are intercepts of phone conversations between pro-Russian separatists and what appear to be Russian military officers saying that separatists shot down flight MH17.
12:33:
The speaker of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe's (OSCE) Parliamentary Assembly, Finnish MP Ilkka Kanerva, has issued a statement condemning the "downing" of the jet. "A swift, thorough, international investigation is needed to determine the exact circumstances of the crash and bring the perpetrators to justice," he said.
"However, there are already strong indications that a missile launched from rebel-controlled areas may have caused this catastrophe. In that case, there would be no doubt that those responsible for the illicit flow of military hardware and weapons into eastern Ukraine and those who directly or indirectly challenge the Ukrainian government's authority over its own territory bear the ultimate responsibility. I reiterate my call for an unconditional ceasefire that is respected by all sides and urge the governments in Moscow and Kyiv to do all in their power to immediately de-escalate this situation."
"We are not going to take the crashed Boeing's flight recorders" - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
13:02: BBC Monitoring
"Attempts to call the plane crash a terrorist act are unacceptable" - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

How do you investigate an international air disaster in a battle zone? What trace would a surface-to-air missile leave on a jet compared to that of an air-to-air missile? Why are the stakes so high here? Read our Q&A.
14:14:
British MP Sir Malcolm Rifkind, who chairs the parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee, tells the BBC that there is "a very powerful argument for very wide-ranging economic and financial sanctions" against Russia if it is proven that the plane was hit by equipment provided by Russia to the rebels.
14:21: Oleg Boldyrev BBC Russian
In the Russian media, the mood is sombre and no one denies it is a tragedy. Many commentators and politicians are pressing the line that the Ukrainian army is to blame.
14:41:
Chinese state news agency Xinhua has published a commentary warning against "hasty conclusions" on who is to blame for the crash. It criticises Western countries for making a "one-sided accusation" against east Ukrainian rebels and Russia.
14:58: Christian Fraser BBC News, Paris
The suspected shooting down of a passenger plane by Russian separatists in Ukraine is putting more international pressure on France to pull the plug on a deal to sell two warships to Russia. But it may be too late to stop this particular deal. Half the money has already been paid, and pulling out would cost France hundreds of millions of euros.
14:59:
A preliminary US intelligence analysis has concluded that MH17 was probably hit by a missile fired by pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine, US broadcaster CNN reports, citing an anonymous US defence official.
15:19:
"We will turn every stone and if it becomes clear that this was an attack I will be personally responsible for guaranteeing that the people responsible will be determined. That's what we owe the innocent victims and their families" - Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte.
15:21:
Mark Rutte added that he had spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who promised Russia would guarantee a full, international, independent inquiry.
15:29:
Ukraine's SBU security service has confiscated recordings of conversations between Ukrainian air traffic control officers and the crew of the doomed airliner, a source in Kiev has told Interfax news agency.
15:30:
US envoy Samantha Power tells the UN Security Council that the plane was "likely downed by a surface to air missile".
15:36:
"We cannot rule out technical assistance from Russian personnel... This [the attack on the plane] follows a pattern of actions by Russia-backed separatists" - US envoy to the UN Samantha Power
15:32: Nick Bryant BBC News, New York
The British ambassador to the UN had very strong words of condemnation, not just about what happened with the downing of the plane but for the kind of support Russia has reportedly been giving separatists in Ukraine. He said the UN Security Council had to go further than its press statement and demand separatists lay down their arms.
- 15:38:UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is alarmed at what appear to be "credible, numerous reports that suggest that a sophisticated surface-to-air missile was used" to bring down the Malaysian plane, UN political affairs chief Jeffrey Feltman says.
- 15:41:"Russia can end this war, Russia must end this war" - US envoy Samantha Power.
15:49:
The leaders of Russia and Malaysia spoke by telephone on Friday, stressing the need for an objective investigation into the plane crash and the need to stop military operations in eastern Ukraine to facilitate the probe, Reuters reports, citing a Kremlin statement.
16:18:
US ambassador Samantha Power says the US believes that a SA-11 missile was fired from an area controlled by pro-Russian separatists, who had previously boasted about obtaining such missiles. She said Russia has provided SA-11s and other heavy weapons to the separatists.
16:20:
Russia's envoy to the UN, Vitaly Churkin, tells the UN Security Council there must be an impartial open investigation.
16:29:
Russian envoy Vitaly Churkin speaking at the UN Security Council: "We put all blame on the Ukraine government."
16:34: Nick Bryant BBC News, New York
Russian envoy Vitaly Churkin blamed the Ukrainian government for exacerbating the crisis and shelling civilians. He didn't answer any of the specific allegations put by the British and Americans that the plane was shot by Russian-supplied hardware. What this really was was a blanket condemnation of the actions of the Ukrainian government.
16:44:
To shoot down a plane at such a high altitude would only be possible using a BUK system, says Yuriy Sergeyev, Ukraine representative to the UN.
16:56:
Mr Obama described the plane crash as a "tragedy" and urged a credible investigation.
- Malaysian Minister of Defence Hishammuddin Husseintweets: Pres Putin has announced he has directed Russian Millitary 2 assist fully on investigation of #MH370 I have directed our CDF 2 contact them.
- 17:03:Mr Obama: "Too early to be able to guess what the intentions of those who might have launched the surface to air missile might have had. Investigations will be ongoing."
- 17:22:President Obama says the plane was shot by a surface-to-air missile. "The shot was taken from territory that was controlled by the Russian separatists," he said.
- 17:04:Mr Obama: "We don't have time for propaganda, we don't have time for games."
17:09:
Mr Obama: "We have increasing confidence the shot came from areas controlled by the separatists."
Malaysian Minister of Defence Hishammuddin Hussein
tweets: Pres Putin said Russian Military will assist fully in the #MH17 investigation. I have directed our CDF to contact them!
US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power
tweets: #Russia has power to prevent tragedies like the unspeakable one that happened yesterday. It can end this war. It must end this war. #MH17
18:05:
US President Obama has said in a press conference that there is evidence the Malaysia Airlines flight was shot down by a surface-to-air-missile.
18:27: Bridget Kendall BBC News, Moscow
Russian officials have held back from directly accusing Kiev of shooting down the plane. But more broadly, they are saying that Kiev has to bear responsibility. The key is what they do - will they accept the outcome of any international investigation?
