time to review your two minutes of hate sponsored by the empire, in this case about a plane being shot down;
Earlier, Moscow called on the Dutch-led team investigating the July
2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine to
focus on an impartial analysis of available data. Malaysia’s prime
minister has called the team’s latest claims a politically-motivated
witch hunt against Russia.
Dutch investigators refused to accept potentially groundbreaking new
material in the MH17 case from German private investigator Josef Resch,
and did not account for his material in their presentation on the case
last month, Resch has said.
According to the investigator, his material was rejected by the
Dutch-led Joint Investigation Team (JIT) after he asked to make it
public.
Resch said his materials included important new
information, including audio recordings about air traffic in the area
on the day of the incident, recordings of the communications of
Ukrainian servicemen, recordings related to Russian President Vladimir
Putin’s flight from Brazil to Moscow on the day of the crash, personal
recordings of pilots about the incident, and other evidence.
None of this information was used in JIT’s June presentation, which
reiterated earlier claims about MH17 being ‘downed by a Russian-made Buk
missile’, the investigator said.
“Our highest possible security, if it can be
guaranteed at all, can be ensured with a public statement, along with
the disclosure of information to the JIT and the prosecutor,” Resch
insisted, clarifying that he wants to see a public disclosure of his
information out of fear for his life after receiving multiple death
threats for his research.
The investigator said he was prepared to reveal the name of his
source to JIT investigators, and provide them with other important
information, including alleged secret documents previously thought
destroyed containing the notes of unnamed high-ranking officials and
politicians, and intelligence agents, as well as “extra documents” whose
contents he said he could not discuss out of concerns for his safety.
The JIT has yet to to respond to Resch, while Dutch prosecutors wrote
him a letter saying his offer would be “taken into consideration,” but
adding that his request to make the information public was “very
unusual” and capable of “damaging” the probe. Prosecutors advised him to
appeal to German prosecutors instead.
In the letter, seen by Sputnik, Dutch prosecutors told Resch that he
could send his material to the JIT via a special online form.
Resch has been investigating the MH17 disaster since 2014 in his capacity as a private investigator.
MH17 Case
Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 was downed on 17 July 2014 while en
route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur over an area of eastern Ukraine
mired in civil conflict as a result of the Maidan coup in Kiev in
February of that year. All 298 passengers and crew aboard the plane,
most of them Dutch nationals, were killed.
The Ukrainian military and authorities in the self-proclaimed Donbass
republics blamed each other for the tragedy, with eastern Ukrainian
militias saying the did not have access to the kinds of anti-aircraft
missiles that could down an airliner, or the personnel to operate them,
while Kiev, the US and several European powers rushed to blame Russia,
before an official investigation could even be launched.
The Netherlands set up a Joint Investigative Team to probe the MH17
case, but refused to allow Russia to join despite Moscow’s repeated
offers to help. JIT concluded that the airliner had been shot down by a
Buk missile, supposedly from a launcher belonging to a Russian
anti-aircraft missile brigade ordinarily stationed in Kursk, near the
Ukrainian border, but refused to share concrete evidence to corroborate
its claims.
Russia conducted its own investigation, concluding that MH17 was
downed by an older version of the Buk missile manufactured in 1986 and
fielded by Ukraine, with Russia phasing out its stocks of the missile in
a military modernisation program in the 2000s. Russia’s probe included
extensive studies of forensic evidence, as well as the previously
unprecedented
declassification of previously secret information about advanced military hardware, and a
complex experiment by defence concern Almaz-Antey, maker of the Buk, to determine who shot the plane down.
Last month, following the publication of JIT’s latest claims, which
included the naming of three Russian nationals and one Ukrainian
national as suspects in the case, Moscow
slammed the
accusations, and once again called for an unbiased investigation.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow could only recognise the
results of a probe if it was able to participate in it. Malaysian Prime
Minister Mahathir Mohamad similarly dismissed JIT’s claims, saying Kuala
Lumpur was
“very unhappy” about the probe, “because from the very beginning it was a political issue on how to accuse Russia of wrongdoing”............
