Ron Paul Slams Media MH17 "War Propaganda", Claims US "Knows A Lot More Than It's Telling Us"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Former Congressman Ron Paul warns the US government knows "more than it is telling" about the Malaysian aircraft that crashed in eastern Ukraine last month, killing 298 people on board and seriously damaging US-Russian relations in the process. In an apparent effort to provide some balance of opinion against what he calls "war propaganda", Paul issued the following succinct statement:

The U.S. government has grown strangely quiet on the accusation that it was Russia or her allies that brought down the Malaysian airliner with a buk anti-aircraft missile.

 

The little that we have heard from U.S. intelligence is that it has no evidence that Russia was involved. Yet the war propaganda was successful in convincing the American public that it was all Russia’s fault. It’s hard to believe that the U.S., with all of its spy satellites available for monitoring everything in Ukraine that precise proof of who did what and when is not available.

 

When evidence contradicts our government’s accusations, the evidence is never revealed to the public - for national security reasons, of course. Some independent sources claim that the crash site revealed evidence that bullet holes may have come from a fighter jet. If true, it would implicate western Ukraine.

 

Questions do remain regarding the serious international incident. Too bad we can’t count on our government to just tell us the truth and show us the evidence.

 

I’m convinced that it knows a lot more than it’s telling us.

*  *  *

As we noted here - there appears to be plenty that we are not being told about MH17.

I think its probable that the US was winky wink with a plane full of Dutch citizens shot down by Ukraine because the plan is the wrestle the oil and gas dependency from Russia. Its all business,just ask Hunter Biden. They want the European Union outraged but 33% of all gas is from Russia. This is a longterm competitive business strategy for Ukraine,US and petrodollar communities.

my other 2 cents worth-

that analysis claiming a plane shot the cockpit from either side (because entry and exit holes are side by side on the cockpit wreckage) may discount the possibility of just one plane firing machine gun rounds into a cockpit/plane that is spinning out of control - or spinning to avoid its attacker

There is something very strange with MH17 flying the wrong serial number too...there is much more to this story.  9M-MRC was in two places at once...as evidenced in pictures taken in Amsterdam before MH17 took off. Someone playing hide the Malaysian 777 game.

The KEY to Dr. Paul's statement is that this story has "convinced" the US American and European Sheeple that Russia is to blame, and thus setting off a chain of really bad stuff.

German DAX is down 15% since second set of RU sanctions, if Germans don't get some backbone and dump the Euro and embrace resource rich RU, the Western Bankers will surely achieve a victory here.

As a other side note....us the US taxpayers PAY for our intelligence services, and those guys deliver NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING.  What a complete waste.

The pilot's cockpit looked like swiss cheese.  Whether machine-gun fire, or shrapnel there was no way either of those two were even alive to steer the thing.  Short of a Vincent Vega (Pulp Fiction) style holy miracle- which would also be decidedly short-lived.

C'mon Ron. quit toying with us.  Who has the desk plaque in his office with the words "THE BUK STOPS HERE."  Is it the Ukranian president with the unspellable last name?  Did Victoria Nuland have something to do with the cover-up?  Or is the culprit not a top public official but a SU-25 flight commander who ordered the shootdown because he could?  Putin denies responsibilty but how can you trust a former KGB spy?  Yes, the best suspect appears to be none of the above, instead being VP Joe Biden's oil drilling son, who has the most to gain from turbulence in Ukraine.

Garbage website.

 

The picture displayed (supposedly of MH17 crashing) is actually the crash of a Boeing 727, PSA Flight 182, into North Park, San Diego, California, USA, on September 25, 1978. It was on approach and it had collided with a Cessna.

 

I attempted to correct it and was not allowed. It is far too difficult to register to post. They are in the business of publishing MISINFORMATION.

 

If they are inaccurate in one part of the report then you can impeach their testimony on that.

Living here in San Diego County, I rememeber that day all too well. (I was living in Phoenix at the time but I have close ties to this place.) I have flown in and out of Lindbergh Field many times and it has left its mark.

Not necessary for them to have some kind of 'unfortunate accident'. They are able to have the MSM ignore both them and their supporters, which is where most of the brain dead populace gets their news. Their message only reaches people like us, who always hear it because we have up on the MSM and looked for it. It is telling that you haven't heard shit from the gov or the presstitutes lately. A lot less coverage than the other missing jet received. I agree with them. The US knows it was their puppets in Ukraine, not the rebels or the Russians, which is why they are letting this one slip away. No way do I believe the us gov doesn't know exactly what happened to that thing. And I'd say that initial bout of propaganda worked exactly as it's supposed to. By now, it's engrained in the memory of most as 'that malasian jet the Russians shot down'. Most people still believe whatever fox or msnbc tells them for some reason.

I think the War Crimes Trial is the epi-center of the larger scandal -

while Paruiby organized the Ukranian jets attack on the Malayasian passenger plane - the real story is the probability of the plane being a Malayasian scheduled flight

there must be several hundred flights per day going both east and west over the Ukraine - with the bulk of the flights major airlines: Lufthansa / BA / Air France / KLM / Air China/ Singapore etc to 25 major direct destinations in europe and asia

Malayasian Airlines represent less than 1% of the flights probably much less

so what are the odds they would get tagged? - then take the odds for two Malayasian flights going down in less than six months?

Would love for an algo to run an article on probability !!!!!

what it means is that not only was CIA informed by Paruiby of the hit since they were prepared including Obama with Propaganda machine instantly - if you remember -  but CIA must have designated the hit not Ukraine Military  - as payback for the Trial along with blaming Putin as part of the scam

The Dutch are really idiots for believing any of this

The propaganda was instantaneous, just like after Sandy Hook. Scripted in advance.

Also, from wikiP Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission. Another suspect, more recently convicted. 

In November 2013, the tribunal convicted State of Israel guilty of genocide of the Palestinian people and convicted former Israeli general Amos Yaron for crimes against humanity and genocide for his involvement in the Sabra and Shatila massacre.[12]

That's what I'm talking about. This Guy, Ron Paul has the knowledge that America needs. He's been doing this stuff forever. He knows what he's talking about and I'm sure he knows more then he is talking about. He just needs the support, as in feet in the streets, to create a dynamic scenario, that I for one would like to see. If you start getting answers to the right questions, you could definitely shake this fucker up. Rethinking foreign relations would be a step in the right direction.

It's not impossible.

He has repeatedly pointed out the basis of all the USA's problems, the privately owned Fed. Solve that and everything from crooked elections to strange wars automatically resolve themselves. Adventures start hitting the middle and lower classes much harder where it hurts, the checkbook, when the printing presses are restrained. This includes the bribing of the underclasses for their votes, they must earn their livelihood, which solves the illegals problems. Everything gets better if it's abolished.

2. and will at least will avoid fucking things up even worse

3. you already know no such person exists

4. and at this point your pretty sure it's not going to matter because the chances of us making it that far are growing slimmer every day.

Until the Pope says that MH17 was hit by a missile shot by the separatists, I will continue to believe that the Ukrainian fighters strafed it and hit it with an air to air missile. 

But why did they?

Why such violence?

Was it just to knock it down and then to blame it on Moscow and the separatists?

Or did a little bird whisper into Victoria Nuland's greasy ear that Putin was on the plane, having heard that NATO was out to assassinate him?  

As Jabba of Kiev is completely beholden to our American Gorgon, he had no problem ordering his jets to bring down a plane with 300 innocents aboard to get Vladimir Putin.

The Americans approved the strike.

I am the first to admit that getting Putin on a commercial carrier is quite a stretch, but remember we are dealing with the likes of Nuland, Kerry, Obama and Poroshenko, brainless mutants of the Maidan.

It seems to me there are two possible explanations for why Ukraine Security Forces shot down MH17 and you have raised them both.

Of the two, I'd go for it being a deliberate act of criminality with the intention to blame it on Putin/Russia. If Poreshenko and his Nuland handlers were involved, that increases the likelyhood of this being the explanation. No wonder the black box contents have still not been released. And no wonder the 30mm bullet holes in the cockpit fuselage isn't being discussed by MSM and Western political elites.

 

I can't see how the other explanation stands up:

Although Malaysia Airlines colours are extremely similar to the presidential jet that Putin uses, I cannot see Ukraine ATC and its handlers making such a mistake. After all, MH17 was in contact with ATC in Kiev before it was shot down and ATC knew it was not Putin's plane.

I agree with you, but we must leave no conspiracy theory unturned.

If it was the Nuland-Poroshenko nexus and Ukrainian fighters shot MH17 out of the sky, did they not think that the strafing of the cockpit and fuselage would give them away?

Can they be that stupid?

I have something more to add to the "kill Putin" motive.  I admit I don't know the mechanics of it at all.  Perhaps you do.

But it thickens the plot.

Say, the FSB learned while Putin was in Brazil that there was a plot against him and his plane would be targeted on the trip back home, but they didn't know where.

 The FSB puts Putin on a private jet out of Brazil to Amsterdam and flies his state plane there empty.  Now Putin, Russia's Air Force One, and MH17 are all at Amsterdam's Airport.

Here's the 'Tinker, Tailor' part.

The FSB manages to switch the transponders on the two planes. I know what a transponder does but that's all I know about them.  It may not be possible.

Kiev ATC thinks that MH17 is Putin's plane The markings are similar enough to fool the pilots who don't think they are murdering 300 souls, but are assassinating a tyrant. 

I hope you don't think I'm too nutz for thinking this one up.

It's an interesting theory. No, I don't think you're nuts. All these possibilities need to be examined. So far, it looks like a slam dunk carried out by Ukie security forces that didn't go exactly according to plan.

Western elites could have claimed that the strafing of the cockpit fuselage with 30mm bullet holes was carried out by Russian forces because their intention was to bring down MH17 over the Ukie border on Russian territory. Any defence put up by Russia would then be easily dismissed as lies.

Too bad for them that it came down over Ukie territory because the plane took an unexpected sharp left turn immediately after being hit - probably caused by the air-to-air heat-seeking missile hitting the right hand engine.

 

Whatever the FSB might have learned about an attempted shoot-down of his plane, he nevertheless continued to fly home on his own plane, so that implies this aspect of the theory is a dead end. And the only closeness his plane had with MH17 was back over Warsaw. From then on the two routes went in different directions (Putin headed to NE and MH17 to SE).

Also, the plane that was shot down was correctly identified as MH17 - plenty of evidence on flightradar24.com to show this. They still have the flight path records from their radar tracking.

My explanation gave the Ukrainians the same excuse for shooting down MH17 as the Americans recently gave the Russians: that MH17 was MISTAKENLY shot down. 

If the Ukes didn't mistakenly shoot it down, then they intentionally shot it down.  

Even after the American lie that got us into Iraq, or the Syrian false flag sarin attack that killed 1300, and lies that came out of Maidan, it's still hard to accept the blatant treachery of our government.

I didn't like my idea anyway as it made the Russians complicit in this tragedy.

Why the countries who lost citizens on MH17 aren't loudly demanding that Ukrainians make public the ATC tape is puzzling

But I read today that Malaysia is continuing its investigation in both Amsterdam and Kiev.

I can't see the the Dutch or Malaysians covering this up to protect Poroshenko or Nuland.

Certainly, the families of the 300 will seek redress in the Hague.

Let's plat a game: day 1 Putin tells Merkel 'It was not us nor our guys'.

Merkel waits silently. 

Washinton makes big noise.

No evidence comes out supporting DC.

Evidence of Ukranian involvement is known within a few days.

Washington demands sanctions.

Merkel still waits, pressure from her industry builds.

At what point does she publicly tell DC to fuck off?

or...does she go through diplomatic channels and make demands for her continued silence?

We little people won't be told anything but those  who run governments must be getting edgy about a nuclear superpower (us) seemingly going off the rails.

How would you handle this cluster fuck...diplomatically of course.

If it  were not Ukraine, they would provide Air Trafic Recordins as well the man who worked with the plane (Dnepropetrovsk controller). But  Kiev and MSM keeps grave silence, and that proves that MH17 downed Kiev authorities.

A comment about MH17 I posted on an earlier thread:

 

Ron Paul is right. The story of MH17 has taken some strange twists in the recent week or so...

The strongest evidence produced so far are the visible round bullet holes in sections of the cockpit fuselage which - according to a German ex-pilot & aviation expert - were probably made by Ukraine's SU-25 fighter jets which are fitted with a 30mm cannon. The holes exactly match. He is quite clear they could not have been made by missile fragments (A-2-A or G-2-A). They are visibly too round for that and some are entry holes, others are exit holes, indicating it was attacked from two sides. A missile cannot do that.

Then there were the two eye witness interviews published by the BBC on video where the witnesses were quite clear that they heard loud bangs in the sky at the time of the downing. They also allege without hesitation that they saw two military jets in the sky at the time, trailing MH17. The BBC pulled the videos, claiming they were not up to their usual standard of news. Yeah right.

Then we have the MH17 black boxes sent to Farnborough/UK for analysis. Nothing has been heard of them since. The voice recordings could have been released within 24-48 hours.

Further evidence is that the Kiev ATC ordered MH17 to reduce altitude to 30,000ft prior to the incident. This will have been to ensure it was within range of the two SU-25's because they have an operational ceiling of 10,000m (33,000ft), not the 23,000ft asserted by some people posting on ZH and elsewhere (paid .gov disinformation trolls?).

Joining up the dots, it is virtually certain that MH17 was attacked by the Ukraine air force with 30mm cannon and an air-to-air missile (before or after being attacked with cannon fire).

YET, none of these revelations have been touched on by MSM. A conspiracy of silence is in place. If MH17 ever gets mentioned nowadays, these revelations are completely ignored and all comment is based upon the circumstances that existed before the revelations were made public.

The USG, UKG, MSM and hoards of expert "talking heads" wheeled on to TV News shows are collectively guilty of a massive cover up of mass murder of 298 innocent people.

When they can knock the WTC 1, 2 and 7 down in broad daylight, killing over 3000 people (10 Times that which were aboard MH17) and blame that on people living in caves in Afghanistan...

 

...AND NOBODY PITCHES A BITCH...

 

then...

 

I SUSPECT THAT EMBOLDENS THEM as they know that they can get away WITH ANYTHING.

 

And really...you guys are shocked at the MH17 Murders?

 

How many of you were Gung Ho for war with Afghanistan and Iraq when it first happened?

 

It was pretty damned lonely back then, being in the minority whom knew that it was a farce, a FALSE FLAG, and being against those fucking wars.

Regarding 9/11, I have long believed that WTC B7 was brought down by controlled demolition. I can see no other rational explanation and all the evidence points that way.

It then raises the possibility that WTC1 & WTC2 were also brought down in the same way. BUT it doesn't change the fact that both of these buildings were hit by airplanes. We saw that live on TV. What I have not finally decided is whether these planes were being flown by a bunch of Arabs (Atta & Co) or if they were being flown remotely by "other parties". This is a possibility. The jury's out.

The first thing that convinced me was that the price of Gold did not spike.

 

Greenspan had announced that the Gold had been moved to an undisclosed location. (Later it was disclosed that it was being stored in the underground vaults of the New York Federal Reserve Branch.)

 

Knowing that the WTC was a Gold Bank, and that physical transactions were done in the basement, then it would be reasonable to assume that it was, at least, buried and not available for delivery.

 

Why...oh why...would they move all of that Gold?

 

I will not move my Gold unless...I THOUGHT IT WAS AT RISK. It is a risk to move it. There were Thousands of Metric Tons in those underground vaults at the WORLD TRADE CENTER. It would take WEEKS to move it.

 

That was the Smoking Gun of the Inside Job.

GATA (Gold Anti Trust Action) had the records of the Gold Price Fixing by the Federal Reserve and had turned that over to the Courts for trial. This was also stored in WTC 7...conveniently.

 

All of that evidence burned.

The problem with MH plane colors is that they look like very much the same as a Russian flag along the fuselage.  Very much doubt a Russian operator would even by mistake shoot a plane reflecting such flag colors.

seems obvious to me that someone on the ground identified the plane as a Russian plane... and then?

"Within 24 hours from the tragic MH-17 flight, US officials rushed to align with the Ukrainian government, based on 'evidence' that came out remarkably fast. While in other cases, the Western hypocrites 'recommend sangfroid' and suggest to every direction not to rush to make conclusions, this is a case where they completely violate their own 'calm down' policy as advice to others."

 The area where the Malaysian passenger jet MH17 fell in Ukraine is a crash site not a crime site! Painting it as a crime site does not make it so. Whether shot down by accident or intentionally, most of the evidence on how and why this occurred will most likely come from sources other than the crash site or fields where the flight went down. I for one feel total disgust and seriously distressed that this tragedy has become nothing more than a propaganda gem. More on this topic in the article below.

Ron Paul has his supporters, and he has his detractors.

Ron Paul's time has passed. He does not have a respected leadership role to play.

Let him talk. Let him get it out of his system. He may be right on certain points, but there is no value in accepting everything he says simply because he has said it.

It is reasonable to expect the world's security services to know more about MH17 that they are letting on. That is their reason for being. You can decry that they are not sharing that information if you want. It doesn't change the rules of the game.

According to Pareto's rule, he is not part of the group that makes up the minds of the general population.
