Ukraine's Security Service Has Confiscated Air Traffic Control Recordings With Malaysian Jet

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Earlier, when we commented in the abnormality in the flight path of flight MH-17 we said that "perhaps before coming to "certain" conclusion about the involvement of this rebel or that, the key questions one should ask before casting blame, is why did the pilot divert from his usual flight plan, why did he fly above restricted airspace, and just what, if any instructions, did Kiev air control give the pilot in the minutes before the tragic explosion?"

The simple answer would have come if Ukraine had merely released the Air Traffic Control recording from the tower and flight MH 17, something Malaysia did in the aftermath of the disappearance of flight MH 370, which at last check has still not been uncovered.

It now appears that answer will not be forthcoming because as the BBC reports "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."

What happens to the recordings next is completely unknown. What is known is that any hope of getting an undoctored explanation why the plane flew as it did, or what the pilots may have seen or said in the moments before the explosion, is forever gone.

It also means that any hope of actually working with facts instead of emotional appeals, and getting to the bottom of the Malaysian airline tragedy, resides in what may be recorded by the black box, whose location right now is now exactly clear. From the Independent:

"Ukraine's emergency services have found two black boxes at the crash site of the downed Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, the governor of eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region has been quoted as saying.

 

"Two black boxes were found by our emergency services. I have no information on where these boxes are at the moment," Kostyantyn Batovsky told the Interfax-Ukraine news agency.

 

Pro-Russian separatists in the region said on Thursday they had found one black box when the Malaysian airliner came down between Krasni Luch in Luhansk region and Shakhtarsk in the neighbouring region of Donetsk.

 

The Interfax-Ukraine news agency had claimed the first black box has been sent to Moscow for analysis, the BBC reported. The news agency now reports a second black box has been recovered at the crash site.

 

Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has been quoted as saying Russia does not plan to take the "black box" flight recorders from downed Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in territory held by pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine,

 

However, separatist leader Aleksandr Borodai told the Associated Press: "No black boxes have been found ... We hope that experts will track them down and create a picture of what has happened."

 

A spokesman for the Emergencies Ministry in Kiev declined to comment on the report.

In other words, even more fact-free confusion and speculation which is just what a propaganda-based reporting system needs.

And so, just like in the case of flight MH-370, what actually happened with MH-17 may never be known.

"That would be a hell of a feat to flee Ukraine to Spain in 24 hours especially when you are on the radar so to speak."...

How do we know for certain he's in Spain?  If the U.S. can pull what it's already pulled with illegal kidnappings of "alleged terrorists" and individuals with relations in the diplomatic community of countries they are interested in especially Italy and Spain he may wind up with a shortened lifespan post 9/11 rules!

We don't that is why I asked.

They won't because it will cause more headaches than problems solved especially since he is probably in Russian protection right about now and besides the information can't be coaborrated by anything else he has except for his word or so we know at the moment. It is easier to discredit and disinformation someone's word in a case like this. Which is exactly what is going on right now concerning information coming to light.

Or for that matter the names of those that were tortured and murdered that will never appear on a Holocaust memorial wall commemorating their wrongful deaths in places like Camp Buca or Abu Ghraib along with hundreds of black sites we will never know about where they were murdered!

Go read the wikileaks files on those 146 first before commenting. You'll see that they don't snatch and grab people then stick them in Guantanamo unless they have connections 'terrorist' groups. They are technically prisoners of war but the rules have never been updated to reflect dealing with conflicts involving non nation states so it is anything goes until international law finally deals with it and even then it is not like anyone follows the rules anyways now as is.

Yes of course wikileaks...  And what does "wikileaks" have to say about the NDAA Section 1021 and 1022 on the issue of what constitutes the "battlefield" as of December 31, 2011 with respect to "perpetrators" who may have "connections" to 9/11 as you put it both past, present and future for rendition and torture?

Last I checked Dewey I didn't see a Constitutional Convention to ratify any of the Amendment(s) to the Constitution, so how are they technically prisoners of war under our own Consitution let alone the international courts that still technically acknowledge Geneva?  To get around that one I thought they changed the status to something called "enemy combatant" to permit rendition and torture at will without warrant or justification on the basis of not being idenified with formal papers or a uniform which means just about anyone can be snatched and grabbed without a declaration of probable cause after 9/11?

When wikileaks provides the caption at the bottom of it's pages to the Patriot Act(s) and NDAA that say that the Executive, Judicial and Legislative are and have been breaking the law by usurpation of their sworn oath(s) and charter to the U.S. Constitution by declaring the Patriot Act and NDAA "The Law", I'll start relying on wikileaks alot more!

The lawyers are involved for starters especially once you start dealing with detaining US citizens and that includes across multiple 3 letter agencies and the WH.... It is one thing to make a guy who is a legitimate threat to disappear but it loses it's effectiveness when you abuse it detaining anyone and everyone like a Spanish air traffic controller who already made information public. Think chuckleheads.

The reality is if they want to disappear a US citizen NDAA or not they will very simply without breaking any laws. They have an affliate in the jurisdiction where they reside take care of it.

Kiev involvement in MH-17 disaster.

Seems he was twitting the whole thing about the air force planes accompanying the airliner until the 3 min mark and how the path was diverted and how the orders to shoot were from the Interior Ministry and not Defense.... aka our Nazi partneers in crime over there.... thus the need to seize all the records to prevent furthe 'leaks' of the truth and whatnot. This seems the same type of shoddy work our psycho intel crew is known for... hint, hint.

Christian apologists such as G. K. Chesterton repeated and amplified the significance of the "death" of Pan, suggesting that with the "death" of Pan came the advent of theology. To this effect, Chesterton once said, "It is said truly in a sense that Pan died because Christ was born. It is almost as true in another sense that men knew that Christ was born because Pan was already dead.

I've seen it mentioned elsewhere. Here's the three key dates:

2. 17/July/1998 = Malaysia MH17 plane first registered.

3. 17/July/2014 = MH17 shot down.

The number 7 was curiously related to H. P. Blavatsky and the Theosophical Society. "Lucifer" was first published in 1887, and 1887 is the sum of 17 hundreds, 17 tens, and 17 units; H. P. B. lived at 17 Lansdowne Road, and 17 Avenue Road; "Lucifer" was published at 7 Duke Street; 7 volumes were completed at her death; Colonel Olcott first met her at 7 Beckman Street, and later at 71 Broadway, New York. Anna Kingsford was elected president first of the London T. S. Lodge on 7th January 1883; "Isis Unveiled" was published in 1877, and the Third volume of the "Secret Doctrine" was published in 1897, after her death.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretton_Woods_Conference

The Bretton Woods Conference, formally known as the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference, was the gathering of 730 delegates from all 44 Allied nations at the Mount Washington Hotel, situated in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, United States, to regulate the international monetary and financial order after the conclusion of World War II.[1]

The conference was held from the 1st to 22nd of July, 1944. Agreements were executed that later established the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD, which is part of today's World Bank Group) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The International Monetary Fund formally came into existence on 27 December 1945, when the first 29 countries ratified its Articles of Agreement.[23] By the end of 1946 the Fund had grown to 39 members.[24] On 1 March 1947, the IMF began its financial operations,[25] and on 8 May France became the first country to borrow from it.

This is what Joshua aka Jesus really preached when he talked about the fish which is being able to feed oneself without idoltry. These fuckers just took the idea and bastardized using substitute symbolism to deceive and pyschologicaly accept as a god to worship through deception.

I'm not sure why all this confusion. The British windbag to the UN Security Council made it clear in his speech today at the UN that Russia is most certainly to blame. End of. I noted he was reading off a script (presumably written by The Foreign Office).

It wasn't necessary, but Obama advised viewers & listeners not to jump to conclusions about "who did it", saying we must avoid speculation. Before going on to speculate that indications are that it was the Russian backed seppos "who did it" and that Russia must stop supporting them with training/weapons etal.

They are meant to freeze. Then they get a tanker of Obama gaz from US shale production (also a lie, most likely LNG from somewhere else entirely.)

Then freezing and starving peons of the EU get warm and fuzzy feelings that the Obamao in the Sky is watching over them...and things in the USA and the Ukraine must be far better and the future much brighter.

The plane came down in pro Russian separatist territory.  How did Kiev get the black box?  This makes absolutely no sense unless now black boxes are appearing mysteriously all over the place.  The Russians have one or not?  Sounds like no one officially wants to know what really happened including the Russians.  They all probably already know and no one wants to reveal anything to the world at large.  Almost sounds like collusion between Russia, Kiev and the US.

The problem with that. Assume someone did record it. You need to be able to verify the voices on the recording. The person listening may know it is real but how does anyone else who doesn't. You have to take it at face value it is true. That is easy to discredit/disinformation to get people to not believe it even if it is true. This isn't the Nudelman recording where there are plenty of other voice recording samples that could be used to verify the call as being legit. Not only verify but independently verify it by a third party, why do you think the State Department just came right out and said it was legit and didn't run a disinformation/discredit op on the recording when it leaked. Even then since this a relatively unknown individual like those rebels you can using actors fake relatives claiming to have said information.

Has to come down hard on Putin and Russia - this was all orchestrated by Kiev and Washington. The timing is just too damn perfect - right when sanctions have been slammed on Russia again and the U.S. and Europe are screaming for more Russian financial/economic 'blood'. This gives them the added traction they need, if it succeeds.

 

But the Rooskies may well have intel to disprove it and to expose Kiev and their puppet-masters for what they really are - lying cowards.

 

You know what this dirty false flag op proves? How DAMNED AFRAID Europe and the U.S. are of a resurgent, independent Russia. So afraid that they went to such an extent to try to slam Putin's Russia back into a convenient corner, by tarring and feathering Putin with this 'scandal'.

 

I'm betting Pootie is just one good step ahead of them, though - watch for Russia intel disclosure that will slam the onus right back where it belongs - Kiev and Company.

OK, so Sergei Lavrov has been quoted as saying Russia does not plan to take the "black box" flight recorders.

Lavrov is a very clever man so there must be a reason why he said this. Perhaps they:

- from their military monitoring/spys, already have complete proof of what happened,

- don't want there to be any possibility that they could have tampered with the evidence in the boxes,

- have pointed out to the US that Malaysia owns the boxes so should decide where they are decoded. On MH370 I think Boeing decoded the boxes,

- have threatened the US, who no doubt has similar evidence, that they will publish (in the UN perhaps) if the boxes are not processed properly with full IATA support.

The game of strategic chess continues.

These recordings will be edited and portions erased.  They will then be released, few outside of the US will believe the deception but they will still be used as justifications later.  Putin says Russia will not take control of the black boxes.  If that is true the data on the black boxes will be edited/erased in the same fashion.  Russia says it will not control the investigation.  The area is controlled by E and W Ukran thus the WUkran govt with the oversight and involvement of the CIA and FBI will control the investigation. This shoot down was not a mistake but planned with the knowledge and assistance of the CIA/FBI.

Putin the chess player or Putin the realist who is desperate to minimize the damage to his country that is being pursued by the allies?  What has happened to Russia's friends?  Iraq, Libya, Syria and other smaller lesser knowns.  China is good but the other BRICS types are weak and may fold easily. And Malaysia has not been willing to be the US puppet, that is one reason they have been targeted.  The US is also trying to drive a wedge between Russia and Malaysia by shooting down their jet and blaming Russia.

The only card Putin seems to have is to wait for winter, and the allies do not appear to intend to let him sit and wait.  If Putin had been decisive at the beginning of the Ukran problems and supported action by the legit govt things would be very different. His actions were not of a chess player working a winning postion but one working for a survival strategy.

I think Russia knows what happened to MH370, 9/11, Germany's gold, and others but keeps it's mouth shut out of fear of angering TPTB too much and getting swift (and SWIFT) actions.

We are just one major false flag, possibly within the US borders, before unilateral trade restrictions against Russia are announced and EU countries forced to comply.  At  that time the US will use NATO to take postions within Ukraine and will possibly begin actions to destabilize countries that border Russia but are not with the allies. 

If Putin can make it to winter it will only serve to get the EU countries to pressure the allies to back off until Spring.  Then Putin has a little more time to try and to cause an economic crisis in the US.

The propaganda campaign has follow the same script as other false flags for the most part.  They are not sure what will be thrown at them so they come out vague on facts but hard hitting on a political front (gun control, Russia, etc).  Then they have to modify their version of the facts as others come forth with information that makes them look foolish or illinformed.  But they do not care, they keep hitting the political agenda.

In some instances they even contradict themselves, at times this seems intential in order to creat so much confusion no one knows what facts to believe anymore and then people just listen to the political agenda.

I think they have done well so far.  Their version was put out quickly, they had a story line of it's Russia's fault (but we do not have the facts or backup for our claims yet) and that is the mantra repeated by the govt and the talking heads.  They appear clumsy only to those looking for consistent facts and evidence trails. 

Perhaps there are some as I do not watch the msm news much, but have any of the msm talking heads pointed the finger at WUkran, the most I've heard are brief comments by msm that the "rebels" claim it was WUkran, then they discredit the rebels and even set the stage for future counter revelations by saying "none of this would be happening if Russia had not caused all this" type of BS.

I think their propoganda campaign is working well for the mass audience it is intended for.

Invasion of Iraq (BOTH times)

Any more the story is created based on what people will believe, so much testing is done to feel along.  No matter how disjointed the story ends up being (from its origins) beacuse people will have effectively helped create the story (I figure that us here contribute by way of pointing out how given points can be attacked) everyone will have a stake in the story and just go along with it (as a result).  Make the water so muddy that no one wants to tread into it (and make sure to taint those crazy that would try it).

What is DONE is more important than what gets SAID.  At this point the US is continuing to draw itself into that arena: perhaps its to keep Europe dependent on it? (Germany is starting to lean a bit and something needs to be done to sway the EU ship away from Russia.)

The Assholes.

 

Everyone has a chance to look at the senseless carnage and ask, "Could we maybe go about this in some other way?"

 

Instead, the fingers point to the four cardinal directions.  Everyone says, "Don't blame me! Blame the man behind that tree!"

 

There are really only a few countries capable of conducting a comprehensive investigation of the crash site.  By convention it is the country where the crash happened.  But Ukraine isn't one of the countries that can do it.  And which Ukrainians would do it? The West or the East?  Next would be the owner of the Airline.  But Malaysia isn't really capable of doing it either.

Two of the best countries with a lot of aviation experience to do the investigation are Russia and the US.

If the two children in the respective State Houses could stop pointing fingers it would be a perfect time to offer an olive branch and do a joint investigation, then both can announce how they will work to prevent this from happening again.

Too much to expect from the Children-In-Chief.

I read a report that Putin's plane was in the vicinity of the Malaysian airline. The Malaysian plane was downed at 15:44 while the presidential plane flew over the same area at 16:21 (all Moscow time). If all this is true then the real target of the downing was Putin himself.

Sure there was a report.

 

Do you really think Putin would fly over people who want him dead and have the means to do it, for no reason whatsoever?

What report said is that Putin's plane was at the same point and echelon.

 

The intended flight route was 6,000  miles long, at 35,000 ft going South East.

Any flight that was flying at 35,000  feet going East or North East would cross that flight path, and for an instant be "at the same point and echelon" as the fatal flight.

Also, there are reports that an IL76 Ukrainian West army resupply flight was in the area and may have been a much more probable target.

If the Ukrainian East army did not have the full BUK set of equipment, which seems likely, they may have launched the missile on line of sight at the IL76 (they shot another one down with a shorter range also lorry mounted AA misile last month) and missed (probably not difficuly as it is a very fast missile so not much margin of error). The missile then kept on going and homed with its internal radar guidance on the unfortunate 777.

I want to copyright this explanation.

A question for anyone that knows ...

Is there any reason why the data captured on black box flight and cockpit recorders could not be simultaneously "live stream" to a specialist international flight data centre somewhere? And, if it is possible to do this, why weren't such protocols put in place ten/twenty years ago?

It seems utterly bizarre to me that you have to physically retrieve the box to pull the data. Surely, in the majority of air accidents, it is, by default, difficult to retrieve the box intact.

It also may be recalled that the new governor of Donetsk Region, who is quoted here, is junta-appointed Ukraine Oligarch Sergey Taruta, ranked by Forbes magazine among the richest people in the world, with his estimated wealth being over 2.7 billion US dollars, putting him among the top-10 wealthiest people in Ukraine. Kostyantyn Batovsky is adviser to Taruta.

As reported by RT in March, Taruta is one of the two of Ukraine’s oligarchs appointed by the self-proclaimed government in Kiev to govern large industrial regions in the defiant east. “One of the reasons for the Maidan protest was the influence the rich have on politics in the country.”

The appointments of new governors of Donetsk and Dnepropetrovsk Regions were made in early March as the Kiev junta was struggling to consolidate power after the coup…

The Kiev-appointed Dnepropetrovsk governor is Igor Kolomoysky, Ukraine’s third-wealthiest man, with an estimated fortune of $2.4 billion. "Kolomoysky has a dual Ukrainian-Israeli citizenship and controls his business empire from Switzerland.”

As one commenter said at the time of the appointments: “Are they handing out fiefs? I’m sick of it. Is that what the people died for at the Maidan?”

You should watch the European TV coverage of Lugansk. Shelling civilian areas with absolutely no military (pro-separatist) value and cutting civilian men,  women and children down with the shrapnel. Makes Gaza look tame.  Chocolate man in Kiev is really making a "scorched earth" battle plan REAL.

Most likely scenario is that Kiev ATC diverted the plane toward Donetsk, sent two fighters to trail it so that it didn't change course, set up their own SAM battery in the disputed territory, and blasted the plane from the sky. This is the only scenario that fits the facts and also fits the motive.

Why does that fit better than:

- the aircraft chose a stupid route

- the East Ukrainians had lost their early warning radar, but thought they saw another Uke transport

-So they lit up the radar on the TELAR and shot it?

 

If they don't have a TELAR, how have they been shooting down AN-26's at the same altitude?

Why should I believe people could see tiny camoflage fighters at 33,000 ft, when I can barely see GIGANTIC BRIGHTLY PAINTED Civilian aircraft at the same height reliably?

Try it!

1)  Go to http://www.flightradar24.com

2) Choose a plane at approximately the right altitude over your head.

3) Go outside and try to see it.

4) Report back the color it was painted (cause if you can't see that, you ain't gonna see the camoflaged fighter)

 

Is this so unreasonable?  If you can barely see a huge airplane at that altitude, why should you believe reports that others could see tiny camoflaged fighters?

AN26 at same altitude?

Need check that. Not sure they fly that high.

AN26 shoots were very much lower, as far as I remember.

There is a huge difference between something that fits the facts and something that stretches them. The scenario in which the plane was purposefully diverted and escorted to its sure death by the Kiev's regime, is the one that fits the facts. Everything else is obfuscation and misdirection.  All of that to say is that I agree with NoWayJose.

I'm not sure why people are pounding on you.  I'd hold out your offerings as true possibilities that are withing the scope of reasonableness.  I have not yet made by purchase of which story, so in no way am I purchasing yours at this time.

Folks should consider how lesser-trained militants(?) that don't have the luxury of a full blown connection to intelligence and military body might react to something like this.  If it's the case that civilian aircraft haven't been flying in this area then I could see these folks being a bit spooked and quick on a trigger.  I suppose it's possible that Russia was well aware of what was going on but didn't notify (intentionally or technical reasons?), perhaps like US agencies knowing about the lead-up to 9/11 but doing nothing; maybe, MAYBE, Russia sees this as a way to get in the area and cliam the right to help protect these folks? (about the only motive I could see here)

That's right. I forgot about the Western Ukranians' irrational hatred of the Dutch.

Partial to Whisky & Cognac in the winter months and Cold Beer & Gin Tonics ( plenty lemons ) in the summer months no one can accuse me of clouded judgement when i say that the 3 stooges ( Coconut Boy Barry, John Al Nusra McStain , John HossShit Kerry ) are well overpaid by the Bankster Mafia for fucking up entry points to WW111.

Furthermore any 3 regulars on Z/H could do a far better job using our tax-payer funds.

There's no investment advice on this site. This isn't Seeking Alpha.

Show me one article that says buy or short stock XYX.

You can definitely try to front run stocks using the info on this site since that's what most "investing" is these days.

POOF, and another one is GONE'd!  No tear shed for the loss of trolls... but sad that folks have to be booted; I suppose, however, that adults eventually need to be called to act, and it's not with glee (just doing yer job Tylers, a job that I know that you don't enjoy but sometimes shit needs to be shoveled).

Don't discount CNN. They spent 1000 hours covering MH370. And 99% of it was baseless speculation.

Actually, since you mention it, why don't you find a better site?
