US State Department "Confident" MH17 "Mistakenly" Downed By Separatists, Finds No Direct Link To Russia
UPDATE: Having failed absymally with their earlier release of "information," US intelligence officials have tried to give more information... sadly this does not include any actual evidence, just statements and confirmation of YouTube clips...
Senior U.S. intelligence officials cited sensors that traced the path of the missile, shrapnel markings on the downed aircraft, voiceprint analysis of separatists claiming credit for the strike, and a flood of photos and other data from social media sites.
The officials also for the first time identified a sprawling Russian military installation near the city of Rostov as the main conduit of Russian support to separatists in Ukraine, describing it as a hub of training and weapons that has expanded dramatically over the past month. The officials said that tanks, rocket launchers and other arms have continued to flow into Ukraine
...
Senior U.S. intelligence officials said they have ruled out the possibility that Ukrainian forces were responsible for the attack.
“That is not a plausible scenario,” said one senior U.S. official, who noted that American intelligence agencies have confirmed that Ukraine had no anti-aircraft missile system within range of the Malaysian flight at the time it was struck.
...
The official was one of three senior U.S. intelligence officials who spoke on condition of anonymity during a briefing arranged for reporters in Washington
...
“We are seeing a full-court press by the Russian government to instruct affiliated or friendly elements to manipulate the media environment to spread Russia’s version of the story,” the official said. “What this looks like again is a classic case of blaming the victims.”
...
The officials also declined to provide more details on the satellites and other sophisticated sensors that enabled them to trace the path of the missile, citing concerns about compromising secret U.S. capabilities.
...
The U.S. officials said they have confirmed the authenticity of some of those recordings, including one in which the self-proclaimed defense minister of the Donetsk People’s Republic, Igor Strelkov, claimed responsibility for shooting down a military transport plane at the time the Malaysian aircraft was struck.
Analysis comparing that audio clip to other confirmed recordings of Strelkov’s voice “confirmed these were authentic conversations,” one of the officials said.
...
“If you listen to Youtube you get that: ‘we’re finding civilians,’” a senior U.S. intelligence official said. Partly for that reason, the official said, “the most plausible explanation to me is [it was] a mistake.”
* * *
So once again no actual evidence... conjecture on 'unknown' recordings provided by Ukraine (ignoring for a moment the fact that the ones that have been released publicly have been proved false). Illustrations of a large Russian military base near the border of Ukraine... well is anyone surprised by that?
With a somewhat shocking lack of evidence, AP reports that US officials (on condition of anonymity) have stated that intelligence suggests Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 was mistakenly shot down by separatists and can find no link to Russia.
However, the unnamed non-proof-providing officials believed Russia "created the conditions" for the downing of MH17. For now there is not even a YouTube clip to confirm this... as officials do not make the new technical evidence public...
As opposed to Russia's detailed 30-minute press conference,
- U.S. INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS DID NOT MAKE PUBLIC NEW TECHNICAL EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT ASSERTION THAT PLANE WAS DOWNED BY SA-11 MISSILE OR THAT MISSILE WAS FIRED BY SEPARATISTS
- U.S. INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS SAY THEY BELIEVE PRO-RUSSIAN SEPARATISTS PROBABLY SHOT DOWN MALAYSIAN PASSENGER AIRLINER “BY MISTAKE"
As Bloomberg notes,
- OFFICIALS DISCUSS MH17 INTELLIGENCE ON CONDITION OF ANONYMITY
- U.S. CITES CLASSIFIED IMAGES MAKING CASE ON MH17 SHOOTDOWN
- U.S. OFFICIALS CONFIDENT IN DETECTION OF JULY 17 MISSILE LAUNCH
Senior U.S. intelligence officials say they have no evidence of direct Russian government involvement in the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.
They say the passenger jet was likely felled by an SA-11 surface-to-air missile fired by Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine and that Russia "created the conditions" for the downing by arming the separatists.
The officials briefed reporters Tuesday under ground rules that their names not be used in discussing intelligence related to last week's air disaster, which killed 298 people.
They said they did not know if any Russians were present at the missile launch, and they wouldn't say that the missile crew was trained in Russia.
A senior official said the most likely explanation was the plane was shot down by mistake.
So it seems like all we have is...
h/t @BarbaraStarrCNN
Which is right in the heart of separatist-held territory...
Satellite image shows spread of debris from Malaysia Airlines flight
* * *
So - to sum up - having told the world that they would release details surrounding intelligence about the MH17 disaster, US officials have pulled a "trust us" moment... blamed the "terrorists" and given themselves an out with Putin... all with absolutely no public proof whatsoever...
* * *
Which leaves us with one question - What happened between The White House and Putin (and perhaps Merkel) that ended with this lowering the tone of the debate?

US FEDGOV is shredding their credibility by the week.
Just kick back, drink some beer (I recommend Founders "Dirty Bastard" Scottish Ale)...and watch the shit show continue.
No need to get all stoopid and revolutionary and take up arms....they're butt fucking themselves into oblivion.
Organize a block party with beer and ribs and become non producers and you'll all be sitting in the winners circle when this stoopid fuckstick show is all over.
Ok bitchez. I've said from the get-go that the rebels shot this plane down. Any of you think Strelkov is a white knight? Any of you think Putin is "hands off" on this threat to his western border?
Why wouldn't the rebels shoot that plane down, given the capability and opportunity? It's a war zone, and nobody follows the rules anymore.
There's another thing, too. Maybe it's bullshit, but Strelkov said most of the bodies he found were cadavers- drained of blood and dead long before the crash.
What if this was a disease bomb headed to Kuala Lumpur? It is after all, the location of the tribunal who found, unanimously, that Israel and the United States are guilty of war crimes.
Sooo, Putin probably did it, via the rebels, to try and destroy the plague onboard, but the West can't say much because if they do, the actual truth starts leaking out.
Strelkov is a beleagured commander in a very tight spot, but to just flat-out state that most of the passengers were dead and stinking on arrival is very odd. He would have to have had previous knowledge of a plot to say that. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't.
The bottom line is; It seems as if Victoria Nuland and John Kerry and the rest of the neocons in America and Israel are having their asses handed to them on a silver platter- and they finally realize it. Thus the retreat from the previous claims.
That must be why Poroshenko needs to conscript more cannon fodder.
Perhaps you didn't see this report:

Weapons of mass distraction.
how about it was the ukraine govt going after putin's plane.... oooops
queue lackey with animation of all this to show off at UN.
On behalf of all parents: FUCK THE WAR MONGERS!
On youtube, you can find videos proving Obama is not a citizen ! Can we impeahc him now.
My new Tin Foil Hat theory for the night:
Mossad did it for cover for Israel's Gaza invasion.
Putin and the Russkies figured it out and threatened to expose it today. Obama and the Chicago gang immediately started backpedaling, letting Russia off the hook. Putin may even get the eastern Ukraine by leveraging this knowledge.
The theory that the (Jewish, Israel citizen) PM of Ukraine was behind the disaster isn't tinfoil at all. Stranger things have happened involving international intrigue. Was it a coincidence that the recent round of attacks against the Palestinians began at the same time it was shot down? And while the people of the world were sidetracked with the horrors of the crash hundreds of Palestinians were being murdered. Was that coincidental, too? I don't particularly believe in coincidences, much less tragic combinations of them.
cut off all flights to Israel permanently!!!
Yeah... The odds of MH17 going down on the exact same day the Israelis randomly start a devastating ground invasion of Gaza are pretty damned steep, perhaps approaching infinitesimal. Maybe Israel had nothing to do with MH17 and just used it as cover when the news came out, in which case they would have started the invasion perhaps several hours later. If they started the invasion at the same time as or slightly before MH17 went down, that's way beyond the pale. I'll have to look into the exact time the invasion started and the exact time the plane went down.
"On 17 July 2014 Israel launched a ground invasion.[122] Israel's first military casualty in the operation was Eitan Barak, 20, who was killed hours after the ground incursion began, reportedly by friendly fire."

...in which the Secretariat of State trots out the "evidence" from the US intelligence community contained in the Government Assessment (not called an intelligence community assessment because the intelligence community knew, as later confirmed by Seymour Hersh, it was nothing more than flimsy tripe).
It is just me, or does anyone else see a pattern emerging here?
Yes friend we may be in the gutter but we're looking up at the stars.
The ELITE still behave like we're back in the peasant no vote feudalistic times and they sent pigeon false flag tidbits.
That's strike 3 (more like 76) for US. Is is time to get a boot from UN security Council?
...in which the Secretariat of State trots out the "evidence"....
I fucking lost it right there.
Feedbag.....Aaahh good stuff mate.
Perhaps Zerohedge can branch off into two websites, one economics and one political.
They can be called Zerohedge & RT News, respectively.
I almost comment on that.
Perhaps you can branch off and take your 3rd grade sarcasm to some other site where trolls go.
So what do you think happened? Putin was on the ground with rebel separtississis and struck a hole in one at 33k feet? BTW, geopolitics is directly correlative to economic happenings. Like, say, when they closed down Wall Street for 9/11? Get it?
16 weeks and you're making suggestions as to the format of the site?
Has anyone else noticed the influx of drones in the last number of weeks?
Have we been discovered?
Truly
More down votes than weeks...
Does geopolitics - and many other topics - not affect economics??
Ironic you make that point about the time that it appears zh and gw are shown to fairly justified in thier doubts. Is it that truth doesnt matter its a matter of picking sides and accepting what is handed to you. Thats a valued mindset for someone in the military but they are machines taking orders.
In fact rt is a valid source for alternative info. If you wanted to watch ron paul in a presidential debate it was one of few sources.
Welcome, asshole.
So where is your video, Mr Kerry?
Here is Kerry's video showing the US 'ketch-upping'.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AAhkswKitQg
Okay, but Ukraine army had 4-5 missile launchers connected to radars right where the plane was downed. It is not even certain the rebels had one operational launcher, and they did not have a radar. Remember how high and fast that plane was and was only in range for a short time. How do rebels minus radar engage that plane. No MANPAD can down anything at that height. If this was a rebel shoot down, unlikley, but IF, then who in fucks sake sent that plane right into the combat zone with missile launches and air strikes happening EVERY DAY. WHY and WHO?
Here is the 'proof' the US has - NSA intercepts showing Kiev air trafgic controllers changing the route of MH17. Satellite images showing the launch site with soldiers dressed in Western Ukraine uniforms and an entire fully equipped battery of multiple launchers with command centers and radar units attached that moved into the area then moved out after the crash. NSA intercepts between the BUK units and Kiev discussing the missile launch. AWACS radar showing a Ukrainian jet shadowing MH17 and releasing chaff. And of course, the main proof is that they saw it on the Internet.
Jack Burton asked:
Look for the name Igor Kolomoisky and you may have the answer to both questions.
BTW, Jack, this is a little off topic, but I thought you'd appreciate it. It's a brief interview with Natalia Poklonskaya about the situation with refugees and lawlessness in Ukraine, with english subtitles.
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=117_1405083645
Thanks stooge, I do like watching her. I am such a sucker for a pretty face!
Well, the first day news:
Then, the Russian military showed photos of surface-to-air missiles located in the area close to the Malaysian plane. It showed that there was a military jet in the area.
It the Ukrainian military lied about the missiles and the plane, we can assume that they lied about everything.
--------------------------------------------
Here is the latest video on youtube showing how Russians shot down the plane. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrYZiiR5Zno
This is framing, accepting only those parts of possible evidence (how weak it may be) that supports your stance and ignoring or discrediting everything else.
We've seen that earlier. Many times earlier...
Also included is the false claim that UA hasn't any anti-aircraft missile system within range, bc there's still a complete lack of proof that the BUK near Teraz has been in hands of the separatists.
Remember Syria? They've then ruled out the rebel-opposition as well...
But they're already crawling back some meters. No link is found with Russia? The blaming throughout the world over the last 5 days and all these calls for sanctions is backed by almost nothing? 'But hey, that's what we've wanted in the first place', right?
It doesn't matter if the rebels didn't have any adequate weapons to down the plane.
It doesn't matter if the rebels were there or somewhere else.
It doesn't matter if there is not a single evidence to support the official narrative and plenty to dispute it.
America is at war with any form of truth. Nothing sincere and honest is allowed. Lying criminals are glorified and decent people are getting jailed, assassinated or poisoned with GMO and millions of other food "enhancers". Soon, this country will choke on its own lies and I hope we can all survive to see the world without it.
The US is doing some serious back tracking. Now they want the "mistake" story to stick. This is simply another cover for a CIA/State Dept. op gone bad.
Going to need a quick diversion, can't let the sheep get the wrong idea, this one is so flimsy even they will eventually figure it out..
So how about another school shooting, oh yeah.. summer, schools out..
..to the mall!...oh yeah.. empty, the sheep are broke..
tick..tock.. we still have some of those suitcase thingeys left over from the breakup?
This is what happened.
Some large Europeane countries have spoken to the US and told them to STFU or they will reveal what Really went on. The US has quickly gone....'we will be good, please don't tell'.
The deal is the Ukraine shot down this plane, a moronic and murderous false flag.
Now everybody will sit and hold their breath hoping that Rusia doesn't produce conclusive proof that Ukraine did it.
Bernard-Henri Lévy, the French, or rather French-Jewish John McCain, has a lovely op-ed in the NYT
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/23/opinion/putins-crime-europes-cowardice...
It is so over-the-top, breathless and sophomoric you have to wonder why the Times would print it. Levy is of course, a committed Zionist, and quite disposed to urging "hey - let's you and him fight" like America's beloved neocons - I say beloved because they are in the Obama administration, especially State, and in the media, and the public has no quarrel with their frequent newspaper columns, television appearances, and references to poor Neville Chamberlain, history's punching bag.
I was surprised to see some over the top anti-Putin stuff from Reason.com - you'd expect them to see through some of the smoke and mirrors. But Cathy Young, a Russian Jew, seems to have a special venom for Putin that is hard to explain.
I ask you - why are so many of Putin's most vocal shrill critics in the US members of a group making up less than 2.7% of your population - Jews have to be half of the talking heads and columnists and journalists I've seen in the US, and many in the UK and Canada, who are absolutely over-the-top with the war mongering and propagandizing....
Is Putin and Russia, it is fair to at least ask... in some way {especially given the fact that the oligarchs who grew fat under Yeltsin were almost *all* Jews in a nation where they are under 2% of the populace} if there's something like organized, international Zionist, or simply international organized Jewry, which sees in Putin and Russia[or Christian Orthodoxy?] something which makes them shrill - which they seem to fear more than Iran {which they know does not possess nukes - a clever ruse undone if you know about the long history of crying wolf - but the media doesn't much discuss that...}.
Putin is so targeted by the neocons, of course mostly right wing Jews, hence a minority of that people, but ALSO by Jews who would declare themselves the mortal enemies of the neocons...
Come, let's be adults... Godwin's Law can wait... why are Jews in the US, France, Canada, Israel, the UK, even Spain and Germany and Belgium so angry with poor Putin? An anger mixed, I think, with some genuine and deep fear... which can only be about Israel indirectly - maybe the dovetailing of the realist-militarists and the neocons... without Russia, Iran, therefore Syria, therefore Lebanon [and Iraq] are all significantly and suddenly weaker...
Oded Yinon, my friends.... the Godfather of PNAC.
also, dear NSA, I need my glasses and my shoes, so I can have them, please.
ATC tapes and the confirmation that Black Box was passed to ICAO might lead to downing the voice:
Here is my thinking - based on my knowledge of Russian ATC system from 25 years ago.
In Russia and in Ukraine airspace is controlled by Military (In US by Civil Aviation). In Ukraine and Russia the flights are not just flying anywhere but through corridors (around 20KM wide). Airspace beyond (left and right of the corridor) is controlled by Military. So restrictions are not just in the corridor, but also outside of the corridor. So, what happens when flight deviates? ATC have to call up his buddy, Air Defense/Military Controller and give him hands up.
Russia claims that flight was deviated 14 km from the corridor – this means that plane was in a zone controlled by Ukrainian Military and + War Zone. Civilian Controller might have forgotten to advice military or Ukrainian Military were suspicious.
Russian also claims there was a military plane – which is probably true since the flight would have been in Military zone, and an interceptor might have sent. Military Controllers might ask them to lower the plane down for visual recognition.
It could have been anyone who might fire a shot, but Ukrainian is more likely. A) It breached route, went to Combat zone B) it was getting closer to the border. So once Washington got confirmation that black box was passed to ICAO and that combined with ATC tapes they heard and Russian claims – they simply don’t have anything to say. That is my thinking. I might be wrong.

Those bast...ds.
Their ritornello on the need of secrecy.
i think putin had an off mic talk with o'bama, you've got maybe 2 more yrs. and i'm still going to be here, you, nato, and the neo-nazi's have been exposed, to the coup, so start backing out of the ukraine.
our satelites show the same as yours.
I suspect that there was a major rebellion in State and possibly the military about this--high level honorable folks who weren't going to let neocon tribal puppets lie us into nukaler combat toe-to-toe with the Rooskis, even though there would be important promotions and personal citations for each and ever last one of them regardless of their race, their color, or their creed.
Former Associated Press and Newsweek Reporter: American Satellite Photos Show People Who Shot Down Malaysian Plane May Have Been Wearing UKRAINIAN Army Uniforms
Mistakenly after fighters right behind jammed the civilian radar responder and spoofed if to look like a military target.
This after Kiev forces used civilian aircraft to hide behind on their bombing raids.

I think there is something incriminating known about usa or their regime in Kiev and in Washington they know it is out and back peddling has begon.
rebels can't be at fault because ron paul says so.
I don't know who is dumber, a low info democratic voter or you ron paul devotees and your non-stop false flag consiracy rumors Imean the more farfetched the scenario the more you azz clowns eat it up
Gee, I would say "lost money" is more dumb than lowfo voters and a bag of hammers.
Despite the back tracking, Brussel's bitches are now more committed than ever to work hard at getting some sort of agreement on sanctions against Russia. Which means that by this time next week, nobody will even talk about this in Brussels.
Geeze how many more times do the dumpkopfs need to be told: Ukraine 'separitists' havent the weapons to down a jet high in the sky
amateurs worldwide are used to listen to ATC and the chatting between pilots. the equipment to listen costs from 500 up.
I just wonder, if one of them was listenning to the conversation between the Ua ATC and the airplanes in that area.
What if the acompaning fighters have been using MH17 to cover their presence, there, atack and disapear without being hit? what if federalists really fired and didn't get the fighter, but the plane?
anyhow according to the information, whitch I read so far on the net, the only one, who I point at, is CIA+dual citizen (born) Walzman (now) Porosenko.

Germany Secretly Planning on Joining BRICS
Jim Willie says no matter who shot down the Malaysian commercial jet over Ukraine recently, there is going to be massive fallout.
Willie contends, “Here’s the big, big consequence. The U.S. is basically telling Europe you have two choices here. Join us with the war against Russia. Join us with the sanctions against Russia. Join us in constant war and conflicts, isolation and destruction to your economy and denial of your energy supply and removal of contracts. Join us with this war and sanctions because we’d really like you to keep the dollar regime going.
http://usawatchdog.com/germany-secretly-planning-on-joining-brics-jim-wi...
This is mindboggling. It would blow the legs off the EU and US.
Jim Willie has a good track record and it makes a lot of sense for Germany to do that. Not least, secure energy supplies and expanding markets for its manufactured goods. It already has car plants in Brazil ... with BMW soon to build one there.
Dearest Vlad,
Please excuse the secrecy we have requested for the visit by our FM. However, we must seek protection from the USSA and its deviant dope-addicted puppet president. We hope to sign the agreement you have offered to protect Germany and exchange the gold stolen from us for BMWs and other cool German stuff.
----Germany.

Will Cameron take Obama's cock out of his mouth and apologise to Putin?
Cameron's Party is into much younger stuff than Obama......besides he wants a J P Morgan Travelling Fellowship like Blair. British public schoolboys are available for hire to rich Americans or sodomising Saudis
It is high time America got itself a sane President who can make all these neocon and bankster bastards shot up and crawl back into their holes. It would be universally stupid to let them drive the world to the point of no return.
We had one. He never made it out of Dealy Plaza alive.
Yep.
I still think Reagan tried, but after he was shot by the BCS he backed off.
I will always think he loved America, so maybe I am idealistic.
One thing about this puzzles me.
If, as has been proven over and over again and mentioned many times, except by the cock sucking lackeys of the MSM, and ample videos on you tube, when one of these rockets gets fired it leaves a fucking great vapor trail like a fucking Apollo going to the moon.
Up to 10 kilometers.
So, if no one saw one of these things leaving a vast vapor trail at the site or within 3o km from where these lying fuckers said it was fired from,
Then how come no one else anywhere else in the Ukraine hasn't send pictures snapped on their cellphone when they gazed at the sky an thought
"oooh look, some lucky fuckers are going to the moon."
Funny that dontcha think
Which leaves now pretty certain that what shot that plane down was no more a fucking rocket from the ground as a fucking jet fighter, sent there precisely yo target that plane, as according to one analysis I read, even a top class well experienced bunch of operators could only estimate success at less than one in 50 of hitting a plane at first shot.
Hmmmm.... good point!
"So, if no one saw one of these things leaving a vast vapor trail at the site or within 3o km from where these lying fuckers said it was fired from,"
For all the youtube video of shit in this region, other than this event you would think everyone has a freaking camera capturing everything going on.

"They would not say that the missile crew was trained in Russia". Who cares WHERE the crew was trained? It is obvious they were trained BY the Russians.
This kind of shit goes on with most govts. Today we have, likely, tons of CIA agents training rouge militant groups (many likely Muslim Bhood and other Al Q groups) in many regions in which there is shit going on. Likely NOT unlike what happened in this case. IMO, Putin is behind the separatist's to the same extent that Obama was behind the AlQ factions that made off with all those weapons in the Benghazi attacks.
If the US govt official response is that they will not say these peeps are directly under the control, or directly trained by the Russian govt IMO that may be a negotiated response between the US and Putin. Sorta like - Putin= "Obama, discontinue this talk that I am behind this event, and I will not release proof the US was behind the AlQ attack in Benghazi (or whatever)", and Obama responds, "OK, Mr Putin, sir, thank you very much for that. I will make sure to not implicate you in this".
In Obama's mind, the damage has been done already to Putin - previous conversations with the media everyone "knows" that we think Putin was behind this.
Deathstar powers-down war engines. Waits patiently.
Its almost as if this event was used to distract us from some other world event.
Trajectory of stated position points toward truth - extrapolate.
Did anyone look at the stack of passports they collected from the crash site.
Un like 911, this time all of them are perfect..
Boarding passes, no marks or bends. Just like when they hand them to you before you hold them to check your sea.

Playing geopolitical games of course has nothing to do with it. All one needs to remember are the now infamous words "fuck the EU".
