Biggest Dutch Daily Calls For NATO Intervention To Protect MH17; Feinstein Tells Putin To "Man Up And Confess"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Shortly after we first reported about the MH-17 tragedy, we said that the key variable would be proving who the shooter was, as the grand fingerpointing theater was about to begin. We also noted that the actual answer to "who did it" was irrelevant, for the great propaganda machine had already made up its mind and was on overdrive. It promptly led to such ridiculous comments from non other than the Pentagon which said that, on one hand:

  • 'STRAINS CREDULITY' SA-11 FIRED WITHOUT RUSSIAN AID: KIRBY

and yet:

  • 'WE JUST DON'T KNOW' WHO FIRED SA-11 MISSILE AT PLANE: KIRBY

So, "we don't know who did it" as long as Putin did it.

As expected, the narrative that the jet was shot down over Ukraine by Putin promptly became the go to version of the western media, and in the absence of actual facts, the appeal to emotions took over and quickly hit a fever pitch. Below is a sampling of some UK newspaper front pages. Clearly, facts be damned, the media knows all already.

In fact, one needs do nothing more than listen to that supreme "the NSA spying is good for you" demagogue, Dianne Feinstein, to know that the "west" is by now convinced the propaganda was has been won. To wit, from Telegraph:

Dianne Feinstein, chairman of the US Senate Intelligence Committee, has urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to "man up" and admit Russia made a mistake.

 

She told CNN: "I think this has become a huge human drama, and I think the nexus between Russia and the separatists has been established very clearly, so the issue is where is Putin?

 

"I would say, 'Putin, you have to man up. You should talk to the world. You should say, if this is a mistake, which I hope it was, say it.

 

"I think the world has to rise up and say we've had enough of this.

 

"You cannot let this kind of thing happen, and Russia continues to prepare it for the next strike down of a civilian plane. There will be repercussions from this."

But if the "facts" were so overwhelmingly against the separatists, why does it matter if Putin admits? After all it would surely assist the demonization campaign against Russia if the former KGB spy kept up his version of events.

So facts be damned, everyone in the west, from the most crony politician to the biggest tabloid has "undisputed" proof Putin did it. But what now: what is the endgame?

Once again the answer is simple: Western military intervention, this time in the conflict zone, under the guise of public anger against Putin, to reinforce the dwindling Ukraine army forces and to repel the separatists, in the process regaining the critical industrial regions of Ukraine which also are the location of vast natural gas deposits. Certainly showing to Gazprom just who was in charge of this key natural gas nexus wouldn't hurt either. After all the west has already invested so much in the current Ukraine government, it can't all be for nothing.

And we know that because a few hours ago, the biggest Dutch newspaper, Telegraaf, openly asked for military intervention by NATO to protect MH 17 and calls Putin a "KGB liar."

So what happens next? Well, since no crisis should ever be put to waste (especially a crisis created by the same entities who end up benefiting the most from it) the big push over the next week will likely involve setting the stage for the Western arrival (led by NATO or some other grand Western alliance) to secure the MH-17 site, to repel the separatists, and to reinforce armed forces that, courtesy of extensive CIA intervention in recent months, are aligned with said "reinforcers", all the while further provoking Putin and Russia, leading to even more sanctions and countersanctions.

To all those who see this as nothing but a deja vu of the Syrian fiasco scenario that unwound over the past two years with such unprecedented humiliation for the US State Depratment, you are not alone.

true.

but, what "educated / intellectual circle" are you referring to, in this instance?

i would not characterize government propoganda put forth by the corrupted media as being in any way educated, nor intellectual. it is merely propogana.

Not quite sure what is supposed to happen here.

Russia steps forward and says "An excitable 20 year old with the separatists pressed a button and killed some civilians.  The Donetsk government will prosecute and there will be a trial, but let's remember that in war civilians do die.  No one likes it, but it happens."

Western media will be permitted to observe the Donetsk government's prosecution.  

The seperatists will be provided with encrypted communications and appropriate weapons.  Winter is coming and special measures will be taken to provide southeast Ukraine with natural gas for keeping the citizens warm.  The rest of Ukraine still owes $6 Billion before they will receive any.  

Have a nice day.

Jesus Christ, if you don't buy into sucking Putin's cock you must be an "exceptional" American.   How brain dead do you enjoy being?   I'm simply looking at the situation and it's fucking obvious the separatists shot the damn plane down.  In fact, they even announced they did when they still thought it was a Ukrainian military cargo plane.   Two of which they had shot down earlier in the week using the same weapons system.

Are you people afraid of the facts?  Unable to even attempt an objective look at things?  Yet you all harangue the media for doing the same thing you do except they come from a different viewpoint -- American propaganda rather than Russian propaganda?

Hilarious.

And don't for one fucking minute incinuate I support the crimes of the Western governments.

If you are going to use the logic to explain the downing of the plane, it would be nice to actually share that logic with the rest of us.

Or maybe "Logic" is a name of a person, and he/she told you that separatists shot down the plane?

Does it even matter if the rebels shot it down? There is no sane person will say that they would have intended to bring it down. Aircraft overflying war zones surely must be considered to be at risk. As I mentioned in a previous reply, an Iran Air Airbus (Flgt 665) was shot down over the Persian Gulf by the USS Vincennes killing 290 people including 66 children.

GHW Bush even refused to apologise, not being an "apologise for America kind of guy". 

More disturbing questions have been raised as to whether MH017 was diverted north to overfly Donestk while other flights had been diverted south to avoid the conflict zone. If there is any truth to these allegations, then this must raise very serious suspicions.

Agreed. Too many Putin cheerleaders on here. He may be making our 'leaders' look stupid right now, but he is still an authoritarian thug. It's not like putins Russia is some kind of beacon of freedom either, quite the opposite. I'm very unhappy with the US govts actions, but that doesn't mean I am going to put another authoritarian up on a pedestal. Enough with the putin worship.

In Follow His Money, Forbes Columnist Paul Roderick Gregory in an effort to Get Putin wrote in March while screaming “President Obama: Act and act now! There is no need to establish Russian violations of international treaties” : “Among these [Russian] kleptocrats, Vladimir Putin could well be the richest, but his wealth is carefully hidden. It is taboo and dangerous even to talk about. Forbes has not been able to estimate his fortune.”

IOW, claiming he's wealthy but not able to substantiate it. That pretty much is a summary of US media: a claim but not able to establish.

 It’s the “kleptocrats” in Russia and Israel who hate Putin. It’s because Putin has refused to sell Russia out from underneath his people; he has established limits, unlike in the U.S. where the US Congress has been bought out by the international banking cartel, the Fed.

For decades America’s manufacturing, patents, technological innovation and jobs have been sold out of America by America's oligarchs. In Putin’s Russia, it doesn’t work that way. Russian resources and Russian oligarchs are held in check because the Putin Administration realizes that Russia’s resources and technologies are only beneficial to Russia when they are used for Russia.

And unlike the U.S. banker-bought Congress, a former State Department official says that “No one has ever been able to come up with a bribery charge against Putin.”*

Therein rests Putin’s problem, his integrity. And they hate him. Putin four months after taking office made a deal with Russia’s oligarchs (largely Jewish plutocrats): they could keep their illegally gained wealth if they personally stayed out of Russia’s politics. And the proverbial hit the U.S., oligarch-owned media fan..

They decided to bring Putin to heel and the demonization began.

Says Sharon Tennison who has observed Russia these past 30 years and been committed to opening relations between Washington and Moscow: “US media and officials then began to champion the oligarchs, particularly Mikhail Khodorkovsky. The latter became highly political, didn’t pay taxes, and prior to being apprehended and jailed was in the process of selling a major portion of Russia’s largest private oil company, Yukos Oil, to Exxon Mobil. Unfortunately, to U.S. media and governing structures, Khodorkovsky became a martyr…”

The Jewish Khodorskovsky went to jail, Exxon Mobil didn’t get Russia’s oil, and Russia's oil is still in Russia.

If you were serious (about ads by Putin), you make the same kind of logical error that others do too often.

Calling for hard evidence rather than just ungrounded accusations is not being a 'Putin lover'.  Using ramped up emotionalism to rile the public, (while presenting no hard evidence), raises suspicions. When it was pointed out that the eastern separatists didn't have weapons capable of reaching the altitude of KH17, a US State Dept official replied that the Russians must have helped them. This is a faulty 'begging the question' logical fallacy. Providing no hard evidence to support their accusation, they make another unsupported accusation. The phenomenom of piling on and pushing this meme (again, without supporting proof) is highly suspicious. Its a very good idea to be suspicious of anyone trying to push rushed conclusions on the public. That should raise a Red Flag for anyone who is capable of thinking. This does not make you a 'Putin lover' (though, perhaps it makes you a thermonuclear World War 3 'hater').

I do agree with you that some people here are too eager to jump to conclusions. (Though the percentages here are less than most other places where the worlds events are discussed.)  America has been at war & under attack by those seeking to dumb down her citizens through the public 'schools' for a hundred years. These efforts seemed to have accelerated starting in the mid 1960s. People aren't taught history, civics, or critical thinking skills anymore. They are subjected to constant p.c. 'messages'. They are vulnerable to propaganda. They can't see through the logical fallacies and emotional manipulation.

yes, I've been wondering the same thing. Tyler needed another revenue stream?

"Moscow has played "the usual game of deflection," noting it has put out "nonsense stories to send people down a rabbit hole" and hamper the investigation."

"These separatist leaders are taking orders from Russia and (Russian President Vladimir Putin) has to realize the consequence of sending heavy and sophisticated weapons to a gang of sociopaths, extremists, violent thugs, nationalists and agents who are just given weapons and told to make chaos..."

"Shortly after the passenger plane was downed, Strelkov – seen smirking in propaganda photos – tweeted a boastful message claiming responsibility. 
At the time, he apparently believed he had shot down an Antonov-26 military plane..."

"Russian government agencies have been accused of editing a Wikipedia article to suggest the Ukrainian military was responsible for the downing of the Malaysia Airlines flight MH17"

Novaya Gazeta, Russia’s only independent investigative newspaper,infiltrated its “troll farm” of commenters on Russian blogs last September.

"Recently a new group of trolls know as the Russian Arm of Anonymous has been flooding the comments section of American websites...with pro-Russian comments."

"The Guardian readers’ editor reports 40,000 comments a day by an “orchestrated pro-Kremlin campaign” of pro-Russia trolling on Ukraine stories."

@Sudden death

A strange response

I was refering to the first round and not the second.

You are not the same Sudden Death that I remember. although its been a long time since I was in Zero Hedge land and my memory is a bit hazy now.

A guy from your part of the world should know at least some history and dates of the Great war at the very least. and have some idea of eurolands geography .(i.e Cork in in Europe)

Zero Hedge has been taken over by the body Snatchers.

When Ireland was part of the UK we listened to a morality play in the house of commons before the war.

"We must save Belgiums Sovereignty" and all that jazz.

But yee guys were never a bloody nation in the first place - yee were simply a nice collection of towns dependent on world trade.

 The Prussians were no doubt a nasty bunch of militaristic morons but morality has nothing to do with war baby.

@Escrava

The worlds long distance production , distribution and consumption system has broken down as people cannot afford the goods that are produced.

 

There is a deep inertia in the system that can only be solved via two mechanisms.

1. You give people back their wealth (purchasing power)

For example in Ireland you give debt slaves the keys to their house.

2. You go to war.

Think of the economc crisis in Dublin 1913. (the lockout)

War is a means of changing   supply chains while maintaining the concentration of political and economic power.

We are witnessing a form of Fordism via the blunt use of power.

There is other currents also.

Such as a deep  Talmudic attack on cultural foundations but both work together to form this current nightmare.

Cork,

I started reading this thread but stopped because I don't want to pollute my taughts.

Here's my take: US/Nato would not go to war over a commercial flight. I mean, under the normal circumstances.

So what is the end game?

Don't know mate.

The world has got too weird even for me.

The solution for most people is to return to village and market town level cooperation but thats not the solution for those guys with the levers of power in their hands.

They will forever take our purchasing power away and use that surplus to overbuild capacity using their demonic scarcity engine as their primary tool making cooperation impossible.

Both sides backed down over the Cuban missile crisis.

JFK first thru' back channels, ordering the removal of US nukes from Turkey.

Cuban missiles were the Kremlin response, not the provocation, that caused the crisis, as most

'history' books claim now.Once JKF backed down,so did the Kremlin.

The irony was the nukes in Turkey were SNAFU, but the Kremlin never knew it.

The other irony was the 178+ tactical nukes ,already deployed in Cuba, that

the US knew nothing of at the time.

Pure luck homo sapiens did not end then.

Churchill,

Pretty good…, BUT, the second paragraph.

Kennedy did not have to use the back channels, because those missiles in Turkey were to be removed as you pointed it out. New type of missile was to be placed in submarines.

Khrushchev backed down.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter. And your take might be the right one.

Now, what’s going on here? Let’s forget who shutdown the airplane, for now.

It’s obvious too early to know all the facts. However, West propaganda machine is in full swing.

We also have the BRICS’s jumping ship last week. My guess is that their leaders see the water [Titanic metaphor] and they don’t trust the captain [US] while the general public still dancing [the BS].

Then, I read in one of Dubai Banker’s post the Eurozone is moving towards Russia.

Again…, Archduke or Cuba moment?

Dork, the lock out your refer to, as you almost certainly know, was a result of the rise of trade unionism with big Jim Larkin. The workers had started to organise and demand their fair share, and the bosses, led by William Martin Murphy,major industialism and owner of The Irish Independent were determined to break them. As a Dubliner, this is imbibed with mother's milk and surely you saw the dramatisation on RTE of James Plunketts "Strumpet City"?

I get creeped out walking the streets alone sometimes. 

Now a plane goes down in Ukraine, which can only benefit the new regime after the $4billion invested by the USA into regime change, and the western dollar central banking zionist mafia.

Not a fucking coincidence that Israel invaded Gaza and they are killing more women and children than passangers died in the plane immediatly after it went down.

"Now the Americans are over there." Just re-read Omar Bradley's auto biography. He had a million man Army (one of three American ones in The heart of the Reich at the time) and "couldn't understand why the Russians were taking so long to take Berlin."

He wrote that book in the 50's!

Not one mention of Operation Zitadelle or he opening weeks of Barbarossa. Simply put...great auto biography but poor war historian.

Because Bradley wasn't fighting von Manstein on a front five times the size of the British Allies. Citadell lasted but a couple of weeks when it was called off by Hitler after US troops landed in Siciley with no Italian resistence. Try reading Lost Victories by von Manstein to get a real feel for the area of Ukraine and the perils of being trapped on the "balcony" of the Donetz area. Nearly all of von Mansteins experience was developed in the exact areas in the news now.

von Manstein in his echeloned defense in 1943 was probably the best generalship in the entire Second World war in all theatres.

If Hitler hadn't recalled him in disgrace he could have held the Russians up maybe as long as 18 months to two years.

Hitler was a good offensive general, howeever he never understood defensive strategies.

No wonder you think Hitler was an offensive "general" fucking corporal and nothing more.  Field Marshall von Manstein was called back with Field Marshall von Kliest and handed his swords to his knights cross by Hitler himself. He was then relieved of command with the excuse that the need for grand strategy had passed. If von Manstein had been given operational control of the southwern wing he would have crushed the russians in eastern ukraine.
