Flight MH-17 Black Boxes To Be Analyzed In "Impartial" London

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Now that the black boxes from flight MH-17 have been handed over by the Ukraine separatists to Malaysian authorities (somewhat denting the credibility of the fabricated Ukrainian YouTube clip in which the rebels were "instructed" by Moscow to hide the black boxes), there was one question: which impartial entity and/or country would be tasked with an objective retrieval and analysis of the contents. A little while ago we got the answer courtesy of none other than UK Prime Minister David Cameron:

So the Dutch are incapable of analyzing black boxes on their own and needed London's help? Curious.

AP has more: 

Britain's prime minister says black boxes from the Malaysia Airlines plane downed in eastern Ukraine will be examined by U.K. air accident investigators.

 

David Cameron said on Twitter that British experts at the Air Accidents Investigation Branch will retrieve data from the flight recorders for analysis, following a request from the Dutch government.

 

Earlier Tuesday, pro-Russia separatists in Ukraine handed the two black boxes from Flight 17 over to Malaysian investigators in the city of Donetsk. Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said the handover was part of an agreement he had reached with rebel leader Alexander Borodai.

 

Najib said the black boxes appeared "to be in good condition."

It remains to be seen if the Air Traffic Control recordings with flight MH17 which as we reported last week were confiscated by the Ukraine secret service, would also be provided to London for a comparable objective inquiry.

In the meantime, we await said "objective" conclusion of what the Farnborough crack investigators uncover, the same investigators from the unquestionably objective UK, whose Prime Minister also made the tape one short hour ago, after he "lost patience with Vladimir Putin’s “bluster and obfuscation” on Monday night and called on Europe to impose “hard-hitting sanctions” on Russia after the downing of Flight MH17. In his strongest intervention since the disaster, which killed 298 people, the Prime Minister invoked the spectre of the Second World War and compared Russia’s aggression to that of Nazi Germany."

Truly impartial objectivity all around.

They will delay any disclosure of their box analysis until the politics have settled out a bit. If Russia looks to be escaping the blame, or if the proof against the separatists appears too weak, then the recording will provide incontrovertible proof that the Russians were behind the whole thing. If it looks like the world squarely blames Russia and further sanctions come out of Europe, then the boxes will be inconclusive. They can bet that Russia has a copy and will not try and use it unless they must.

This is a process of escalation where they seek conflict without fault or responsibility. Pushing Russia into a fight by trying to force Russia to take the first swing. Russia may be playing rope-a-dope with Obama, waiting for him to stumble, falling on his own sword. Many of have disappointedly been waiting for the same for years. With each political attack Putin gains credibility at home and loses it around the world. He can stay on the ropes for only so long and will have to come out swinging. Lets hope it stays with a battle of words.

I agree that a lot of spins rely on public opinion.  I think that the best way out, because I figure that the uppers really do understand that ramifications of "positive" indictment, is to proclaim that the data is inconclusive.

This was just a test, a game of chicken.  The US/West is clearly out of position and if pushing further is only likely to discredit itself further (with its own citizens).

If they think they have an empire, there is still hope.

Obama sees no empire other than the entire world. America means shit to him and is only a tool, a stepping stone to higher aspirations. Look around, all nations are under attack, either economically or militarily or both. This is about the dissolution of national powers, ultimately all becoming dependent upon a more central notion of power...those who "create" money.

Mergers and acquisitions....always about power, and size is the ultimate arbiter. People who seek to rule, seek to rule it all, never truly satisfied with just one country. Hitler, Stalin, none of our past tyrants wanted to only rule a country or even a continent. Many continue to make this mistake, that of the appeaser, assuming that if we just give them what they ask, they will be satisfied. WE should not be appeasing our enemies, and most definitely not our leaders.

When i came to power, i took over a nation which was a democracy. Indeed, as long as Germany was a democracy we saw that everyone in the world came to their help and aid. Yes, the German people used to live in a democracy, and had been plundered and squeezed dry. No, what does democracy or authoritarian state mean for those INTERNATIONAL HYENAS? They're not interested in either!

They are only interested in one thing: Is anyone willing to let themselfes be plundered, yes or no? Is anyone stupid enough to keep quiet in the process, yes or no? And when a democracy is stupid enough to keep quiet, then it is good! And when a authoritarian government declares: "You do not plunder our people any longer neither from the inside or outside, " then that is bad. (today: think about all the authoritarian states in the arabic world, that are alliies of the west)

 

If we, as a so called "authoritarian state", which differs from the democracies by having the people behind them -  (applause) If we as an authoritarian state had also complied with all the sacrifices that the INTERNATIONAL PLUTOCRATS burdened us with; if I had said in 1933, "Esteemed Sirs in Geneva what would you have me to do?" "Aha! We will immediately write on the slate: 6 billions for 1933, 1934, 1935, excellent, we will deliver! Is there anything else you would like? Yes, ofcourse, Sir, we will also deliver that!" Then they would have said: "At last a sensible regime in Germany."

 

 

 

Some people seem not to understand, that the internationalists and plutocrats the Nazis fought against, the Red globalists in Moscow and the yellow ones in New York, won the war, not the Nazis.

If the Nazis would have won the war, White genocide would not exist. Cultural Marxism would not exist. Feminism, multiculturalism, gender mainstreaming, the flooding of White countries with colored people would not exist.

"Racism" as a codeword for anti-White would not exist. London would still be London and not little Pakistan. Paris would still be a European city, just like the USA would be a White country.

 

If the Ukraine would have real Nazis in power, they would not dance after Nodelman's and the Jews pipes. They would ally with Russia. They would not have Jewish leaders. They also would not support the EU with it's gay marriage and gender mainstreaming and modern anti-art - they would ally with Russia, the only European state left, defending European culture.

Perhaps the Russians have concluded that there will nothing of any real use on the flight recorders so letting "the enemy" open at least gives them gives them clean hands.  You would imagine these devices are configured so that they cannot be subsequently tapered with, although I don't that to be so.

Only the evidence counts and  those who handle the evidence must be transparent. I'm afraid that unless these tapes are made public in a very short time period the results are suspect. They must also be coorelated with the tower tapes.

At the end of this video, there is what looks like a Strela-10M SAM, which Alexander Borodai admitted the DND militias obtained recently.  Range of 5km, only 1/2 what would be required to shoot down the Malaysian airliner.  Militia has had to withdraw from at least a couple cities in the last few days however.

25th airmobile brigade troops were trapped defenders DNR (July 22, 2014)

Armoured DNR entered settlements Chervonaya tanneries and Dawn, located on the border of Ukraine with Russia, thus having closed the encirclement. 25th airmobile brigade APU, which held the supply corridor security forces attacking Lugansk, was blocked from all sides.

Militias from Slavic, who participated in the operation, consider this a small victory kind of revenge, because the 25th airmobile stood under that city at the checkpoint Rybhoz and constantly shelled residential areas.

Offensive militia failed to disrupt and aviation, which dealt a blow to Dmitrijevka. The attack was a success due to the impact on both flanks with artillery support DNR. Now the road along the border, along which trucks with ammunition for firing and Lugansk region from the south blocked.

- Our goal - to remain calm near the border with Russia - said the battalion commander with the call Samurai. - Ukrainians have tanks and "Grady", we know at this village firing of heavy guns. We have heard here Arabic speech, our intelligence reports that saw blacks. We fight against the regular army, the professional military. Slavs fighting each other correctly.

June 27, following an attack on the militia checkpoint Rybhoz under Slavic Ukrainian artillery struck by their own positions. Siloviki-blank shot in their own wounded soldiers, fulfilling orders from the command. More then 20 people were killed.

This is the same as dumping the recorders into sea. Nothing MI 6 claims to deliver as evidence form the recorders will be real. All lies, all the time. Governments are now so evil they will tell any lie or kill any innocents to further Neocon foreign policy goals. That said, the rulers of the Untied Kingdom are simply agents of the White House and Pentagon/CIA complex. Any person who believes these recorders will be anything but manipulated to deliver the lies Obama thug's want is a demonstable liar at best, and complete fucking fool at worst. I often wonder why Russia allows these games to continue in this and many other cases. The only decent act Russia has done since this whole coup started was to use force to allow Crimea to vote and then use force to enforce their borders. In all other aspects, Russia is allowing brave men to die for their freedom against Kiev, while they sip their vodka drinks in the Kremlin. Putin is make a shameful name for himself by his constant ass kissing and sell outs. He has maybe 2-3 months left before the giant American backed Kiev army shells and bombs the resistance out of existance. Lightly armed infantry can not stand up to unlimited artillery, rocket and air bombardment. Putin has allowed three times as many Donbass civilians to be executed by Kiev's bombs than ever died on thet plane. Yet we know what the uproar is about. The life of a Donbass civilian, child or woman is meaningless to the western powers, but let on EU citizen die and all hell must be paid.

Were I a rebel in Donbass, I would begin to consider a commando raid on Kiev itself. This is total war, the fascist capital, Like Berlin in 1945, should not be immune from their dirty war crimes. Putin claims his law enforcement is taking names and evidence all across Ukraine for the crimes to be prosecuted in future. This is looking like a big joke. Claiming to prepare legal cases against fascists using heavy rocket barrages on a city of 1 million people. This is a joke, Putin is looking like a total sell out. Do not think this is lost on the Russian people, the pressure to act is growing, if videos appear of fascists on the streets of Donetsk and the mass killings of civilians continue, and Putin goes fishing while allowing it. Well don't think he is all powerful, he is not.

Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. If Russia were to invade, NATO will say it's conclusive proof of Putin as an aggressive militarist bent on creating some sort of new Soviet Union. If he doesnt, Russians themselves will become enraged at the fact their people are being slaughtered across the border. He is playing it just about right at the moment by focusing on diplomacy.

I see your confusion. My post meant the force was used to hold the border closed from Kiev's forces to move into Crimea before the people could vote in peace. Not that force was used inside Crimea. I meant only the check points securing the border, the the prevention of Kiev's military form leaving their Crimea bases. If some Russian force has not stopped Kiev's forces, then the election could never have been held.

9/11? I do not buy the inside job story. I do buy that the administration knew it was coming in some form or other anc chose not to prevent it.

Double messages? I accept that it may look that way. But I always post just where my research of things leads me. Right now I am critical of Putin. Too many men are being killed because Self Defense Forces do not have the right weapons, weapons that Putin could see to it that these men get. I don't know why the fuck he lets these guys die in combat without the proper military weapons being sent in. The SDF forces have fought to hold the border open so Russia can send aid. But where is it?

It is probably true to say that the UK AAIB are among the best experts available, but their findings will most certainly have to be cleared by Cameron's government henchmen before release.

On this occasion, it would have been far more transparent to have sent them to a country which is impartial. Given Cameron's relentless abusive allegations towards Putin/Russia, Britain cannot be seen as impartial.

The Russians are good at concealing dolls within dolls. Maybe they have already extracted the data from the 2 black boxes and are waiting to see if the British AAIB tamper with the actual data from the boxes to yield a different set of outcomes.

(Assuming that all parties knew that when the boxes were delivered to the Malaysians that they would pass right through the Dutch and straight on to Farnborough. Or maybe the Russians thought the French were going to handle it and were given a double bluff by the Dutch).

As Israel carries out yet another attack on Gaza, jewelers worldwide continue to conceal the fact that blood diamonds are supporting one of the most abhorrent and prolonged injustices against a defenseless indigenous people. Israel’s “prominent and central position” in the global diamond industry has ensured that diamonds which fund war crimes in Palestine evade regulation. Consumers have been kept in the dark and lied to about the extent of this blood diamond problem responsible for 26/11 Mumbai Attacks.

The momenary ebb and flow of this crisis is incredble.    Yesterday it looked like Russia was taking down the USA/UK/Kiev BS with hard data.  Today, the Black Boxes are being given to the UK, pobably the most warmongering Russophobic government in the Europe.  I'm surpised at the Malaysian government doing this.   Maybe the former colonial master still has some IOU's to call in.  The only missing piece of the puzzle is where the hell does Germany stand.  Its silence is deafening. 

Off topic rant: It may not be PC to say this at a time like this, because of the plane crash tragically killing so many Dutch people, especially if there are Dutch reading this.  But what the hell,  facts are facts and I call it the way I see it.  Despite their public image of being a very gentle tolerant county, I'm not surpised at the Dutch government colluding with the warmongering Brits and USA,  given its selfish, money-grubbing, elitist, colonialist, and very bloody history. 

In the 1945-1949 Indonesian war for independence, the Dutch army gave the Nazis a run for the money in terms of sheer brutality (see link 1 below).  Hell, the SOB Henri Deterding, the Chairman of Royal Dutch Shell, which is essentially the tail that wags the dog in the Netherlands, was a fuggin proud Nazi lover if not a Nazi himself during the run up to W2 in the 30's (links 2 and 3 below).  I lived in the Netherlands for 5 years during the 90's and I can tell you that privately some of the Dutch have racist xenophobic attitudes that are on par with a KKK Grand Dragon  (e.g. as a Dutchman told me once:  "The southern Belgians (i.e. Walloons) are a slow dim-witted mongrel prace, but at least they can cook").

Can somebody enlighten me, why did Russians gave away both boxes without any insurance policy? Especially knowing that the Ukrainian secret service already confiscated  all records in regards to this flight.... Don't they know that in the modern, western politics decency is not permitted ? Is it one of those fatalistic, Russian flavored attitudes? Are they just letting it all go?

Because, the boxes don't do anything but record airplane data and crew voices. They don't record that the aircraft failure was due to a missile let alone who fired it. Everyone already knows that the plane was shot down, so they have nothing to lose. The headlines are all just sensasionalism.

I asked the same question earlier. Seems nobody is interested in it.

The most logical explanation I found so far is not a comfortable one...

I do not think, that Putin and his government would make such a mistake.

So excluding a mistak on the Russian side, the conclusion is, that they delivered the black boxes and they must have calculated that they could land in conspirative hands.

Thesis 1: They already have the data and have analyzed it.

Highly improbable. Extracting the data can take months. And since private companies, like Honeywell for Boeing, are producing the boxes, it's possible that Russia does not have all tools readily available to map and interpret the extracted data immediately.

 

Thesis 2: Russia wanted to get rid of the black boxes. No matter where they land.

Why?

Answer: They do not want to annex eastern Ukraine (contrary to the anti-Russian propaganda). If the black box lands in conspirative hands the possibility increases, that the claims, the separatists were behind it, increase. This could be the ticket for Putin to distance him from the separatists without losing his face in Russia.

The separatists would be sacrificed for the well being of Russia.

Putin is NOT a nationalist. He is a patriot in the sense of defending the state. Similar to monarchs, where the people didn't count, but only the state was important.

 

Counter argument: In the last days Russia has offered lots of hard facts that make the ZOGs allegations questionable.

BUT: Russia did never fingerpoint. They always talked about a tragedy.

But what is a tragedy? A tragedy is something that happens and nobody can avoid it. A crime is not a tragedy. This wording made me somewhat suspicious from the very beginning.

 

So the acting of Russia in the last days could have been a warning to the West: do not escalate this, we have lots of evidences that can proove you lying.

 

Maybe behind the scenes there is already a deal: the West stops to blame Russia for it, and Russia gave them the black boxes and stops supporting the separatists.

What I've noticed is that Russia often allows enemies some kind of "way out", so that they can walk away without too much fuss and with dignity. Russia just wants to be left alone and be free from the leaches that's been sucking the blood of Russia since 1917.

Awhile back, I read a book called "When Presidents Lie: A History of Official Deception and Its Consequences". It clearly describes how often defeated political opponents were declared as winners even though they were totally destroyed. I believe there is plenty of wisdom  in this attitude; this way you don't always have to fight to death.

You conclude:  "Maybe behind the scenes there is already a deal: the West stops to blame Russia for it, and Russia gave them the black boxes and stops supporting the separatists.".

So Kiev and NATO then kick the shit out of the Separatists, take eastern Ukraine, and end up on Russia's doorstep.  Sounds like a monumental strategic loss to Russia, essentially marking the end of it having any influence over its own historic backyard.  Game-set-match.  The NWO and banksters win.

Not so fast with the young horses.

If we look back, Putin is not acting aggressively. He is much more reacting, or waits until he makes his move, and then they are perfect.

For example Syria. In the last moment he rescued the world from war and opened Obama a way out - while the West was acting agressively.

Or let's take Crimea: here Russia acted quickly and took initiative. But why? Because the Black Sea is seen as a matter of Life and death for Russia and if they would have not acted, the consequences would have been clear: Sevastopol and the Black Sea would have been lost and NATO controlling it.

After the Russians in E.Ukraine saw the success of their brothers in reunification with the motherland the revolt in the east of Ukraine gained speed. But contrary to the Ziopropaganda and Putin and his government always said so, that they do not want the Ukraine fall apart, that they support the unity of Ukraine.

While in Crimea Russia acted within a weekend, in E.Ukraine to me it seems they decelerated. Does Russia need E.Ukraine? No. Contrary to Crimea.

 

Overall I think you are right, although I wouldn't call it checkmate, but the encirclement of Russia progresses. It fits nicely into the development of the last 25 years: NATO has broken all promises torwards Russia. Russia is being encircled, rockets placed around it. And Putin was not willing or capable to stop it.

But on the other hand Putin plays a slow but steady card: i.e. the cooperation with China. The BRICS bank.

Russia is huge. This means it has time. While I'm not sure if the ZOGs have much time left.

Seriously folks, does anyone expect to answer the pertinent questions via the black boxes?
