In Thirst For War, Sen. Inhofe Releases Fake Photos Of Russian Troops In Ukraine

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

Members of the Senate Armed Services Committee first viewed the graphic pictures in December. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R., Okla.) then obtained the photos and worked to independently verify and confirm the authenticity of the photos, before providing them exclusively to the Free Beacon.

 

Inhofe said he hopes the images act as a wake up call to the Obama administration and American people, who largely have been spared from seeing the graphic violence inflicted upon Ukraine by the Russian-backed separatists…

 

Following publication of this story, serious questions have been raised about the authenticity of some of the photographs provided by Sen. Jim Inhofe (R., Okla.). Several images of the Russian convoys appear to have been taken in 2008, during Russia’s conflict with Georgia. Given the similarities between the earlier images and those provided by the senator’s office, the Washington Free Beacon is investigating further and will update as necessary.

 

Sen. Inhofe said in a statement: “The Ukrainian parliament members who gave us these photos in print form as if it came directly from a camera really did themselves a disservice. We felt confident to release these photos because the images match the reporting of what is going on in the region. I was furious to learn one of the photos provided now appears to be falsified from an AP photo taken in 2008.

 

– From the Washington Free Beacon’s article: Updated: Provenance of Photos Showing Atrocities Questioned

Wondering just how similar the images were?

 

This is absolutely incredible. Incredible.

First of all, I don’t claim to have any idea about what is happening in Ukraine. Many people out there feel obligated to pick a side, but I can promise you that 99% of them don’t actually have a clue. I don’t think there are many “goods guys” on either side of this fight, and my assumption is that both sides are lying as much as possible. It’s a very sad situation, but very few people really knows what’s going on. That’s why I don’t comment on it much.

I wish I could say the same thing for United States Senators, you know, the people who actually play an important role in deciding when the country goes to war (that is, when Obama decides to consult them).

In his best attempt to impersonate war crazed Senator John McCain, Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma released photographic proof of Russian solders in Ukraine in order to push forward his bill to provide U.S. arms to Ukraine. Or so he thought…

The Washington Free Beacon reported:

Inhofe’s bill to arm the Ukrainians is sponsored by at least 16 other leading Republicans, including Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas), John Cornyn (Texas), Marco Rubio (Fla.), and Tom Cotton (Ark.).

 

The bill would authorize the United States to send lethal weaponry and require Obama to provide Congress with a “comprehensive strategy” to support Ukraine going forward.

 

The new evidence could help bolster the case on Capitol Hill for a new piece of legislation that would enable the United States to provide lethal military aid to the Ukrainians, who have been asking America for such support for months.

 

The pictures were taken between Aug. 24 and Sept. 5 in the midst of a Russian-backed incursion into Eastern Ukraine. The fighting has only grown more bloody in the ensuing months, as hundreds more Russians enter the country, according to congressional sources briefed on the conflict.

 

Members of the Senate Armed Services Committee first viewed the graphic pictures in December. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R., Okla.) then obtained the photos and worked to independently verify and confirm the authenticity of the photos, before providing them exclusively to the Free Beacon.

 

Inhofe said he hopes the images act as a wake up call to the Obama administration and American people, who largely have been spared from seeing the graphic violence inflicted upon Ukraine by the Russian-backed separatists.

There’s just one slight problem here. Some of the photos are totally fake, and are actually from Russia’s 2008 conflict with Georgia. More from the Washington Free Beacon:

UPDATE 3:11 P.M.: Following publication of this story, serious questions have been raised about the authenticity of some of the photographs provided by Sen. Jim Inhofe (R., Okla.). Several images of the Russian convoys appear to have been taken in 2008, during Russia’s conflict with Georgia. Given the similarities between the earlier images and those provided by the senator’s office, the Washington Free Beacon is investigating further and will update as necessary.

 

Sen. Inhofe said in a statement: “The Ukrainian parliament members who gave us these photos in print form as if it came directly from a camera really did themselves a disservice. We felt confident to release these photos because the images match the reporting of what is going on in the region. I was furious to learn one of the photos provided now appears to be falsified from an AP photo taken in 2008. This doesn’t change the fact that there is plenty of evidence Russia has made advances into the country with T-72 tanks and that pro-Russian separatists have been killing Ukrainians in cold blood.”

This is simply unbelievable, and further proof that U.S. “leadership” has absolutely no idea what they are doing. Very dangerous. The Daily Caller put it quite well:

Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) released photographs Thursday of what he says is confirmed Russian military action against Ukraine. He gave them “exclusively” to the Washington Free Beacon.

 

Except there’s just one problem — some of the photographs given to WFB from the 80-year-old senator date back to 2008 from the AP and aren’t exclusive at all.

 

The WFB points out that the photographic evidence could be pivotal in convincing Congress to back legislation that would give military assistance to the Ukranians. They say Inofe worked “independently” from Congress to verify the authenticity of the photographs.

 

Independently, meaning his office forget to do basic online image searches.

 

Inhofe, of course, bashes President Obama, saying he’s “slow to recognize” what is happening around the world.

 

But maybe it’s a certain Oklahoma senator who needs to take a class at the local Apple store.

You can’t make this stuff up. Further proof to not believe anything the government says, and to not start anymore wars.

Inhofe is a career politician.  Starting from mid-70's as mayor of Tulsa, to several terms as state senator.  The bible thumping, israel supporting morons keep reelecting this pos.  You'd think this guy would have a bit of sympathy for risking the children of his constituents.  Afterall, he lost his son in a plane wreck a few years ago.

Stop with this nonsense. There isn't one shred of scientific evidence that points to magical beams of energy or a nuclear detonation. However, there are mountains of evidence that conclusively prove that controlled demolitions using nano-thermite were the primary means of destroying the three World Trade Center buildings. You're either highly gullible, or you are a dis-info troll.

 

Which is it?

The whole "miniature nuclear device" or now (first time I've heard of it) "energy beams" is a planned misdirection by the ones who did 9/11, with the goal of tainting the 9/11 premise that it was an inside job.

The same semi-stupid people who believed the government 9/11 narrative when it first came out, but then started doubting, are probably the same semi-stupid ones that now believe these were "nukes", missing the point that the methods are basically  irrelevant to the intention and the fact that it was actually carried out.

It doesn't really matter whether the US Deep State used nail files, jackhammers or alien vaporization rays - the important part is that the US Deep State *did* it.

While I agree with you, you should look into "4th Generation Nuclear Weapons". They do no detonate like conventional explosives. Whereas with conventional explosives the blast plot forms a curve due to needing to heat the air before inflicting force, 4th generation weapons do not need to. Fourth generation weapons possess intense, highly localized blast zones with a "small" surrounding area of lethal radiation outside of the blast zone. They were designed in part to obliterate single structures without "much" collateral damage. These were not used in the 9/11 False Flag, but you should be aware of their existence. Knowing is half the battle! Go Joe!

We did have a productve healthy relationship with Russia.  That was before George Bush Jr., Dick Cheney and all their neo-con pals decided they were going to place our weapons in the countries neighboring Russia.  The MSM completely ignores this and casts Russia the party escalating tensions.

Our relationship with Russia was in excellent health up to the early 20th century when the central bankers plotted its destruction, looting, and enslavement and using a planned world war and revolution to do it, followed by terror to control the huge population.

The Czars of Russia resisted the establishment of a Rothschild central bank, and by sending its navy to guard our Atlantic and Pacific coasts during the Civil War, they deprived the central bankers again by blocking any interference. For their absolute refusal to submit they were destroyed and remade as our enemies the Soviets, a NWO invention in itself. Nastiest. Fairy. Tale. Ever.

As for the MSM, if they don't talk stupid they're out of a job, so they spout whatever nonsensical script is put in front of them.

That's why they destroyed the whole place then took control. The Czars wouldn't play along so they waited and plotted and got the Fed slush fund to finance the nonRussian Revolution.

Once the psychopathic central bankers covet anything they will do whatever it takes to get it, even if it means widespread violence and death and turning functional socities into a wasteland of terror. It's the only way they can make money, because they can't do any kind of honest work.

For you to exclusively blame Bush & Cheney (with 21 approving non-historians), saying that everything was hunky dory before them is juvenile and asisine, unless you also think Brzezinski was a member of Bush's cabinet. You probably know him as "Mika's daddy". He wrote The Grand Chessboard in 1997. Obviously you are unfamiliar with it. Google is your friend. Learn something.

“United States is becoming a failed state, and thus a danger to its own people and the world.” – Noam Chomsky, 2006  

 

Jim Quinn: Sanctions are implemented against any country that dares question American imperialism (Russia, Iran). Overthrow and ignominious imprisonment or death awaits any foreign leader questioning the petrodollar or standing in the way of America spreading democracy (Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, Egypt).

The mega-media complex of six corporations peddle the government issued pabulum about ISIS being an existential threat to our freedoms; Russia being led by the new Hitler and poised to take over Europe; Syria gassing innocent women and children; and Iran only six months away from a nuclear bomb (they’ve been six months away for the last fourteen years).

Hollywood does their part with patriotic drivel like American Sniper, designed to compel low IQ unemployed American youths to swell with pride and march down to enlistment centers, located in our plentiful urban ghettos.

over 1 QUADRILLION in world debt/derivatives, etc...no possible way to pay the losses back...all world fiat worthless paper currencies collapsing...all world gov-scum sociopath policies failing, all the psycho coke snorting banksters insolvent, the MIC building massive weapons and armies ready for fighting and massive profit.......EQUALS....WAR, WAR, WAR, WAR, WAR, WAR, WAR. 

Added bonus:  Wipe out millions and millions people by death, poverty, and global tyranny.

1984 has already been surpassed, "folks".

Or you could also say:  "We 1984'd some folks."

That's the goal...always has been...and war is the end-game for these psychos to cover their tracks and wipe out freedom, liberty and humanity.

It's very simple.  They've actually be working up to this for centuries.  They've written about it extensively in their own sick ways to tell us ahead of time what they've been planning. 

They feel that exempts them from any wrong doing if they give us these clues over time about their ultimate intentions so that it's really the 99%'s fault if we don't rise up and stop them before they succeed.

So far...they're winning.  But we're still in the fight as I see it. 

That's why they want to destroy the internet and radio.  Too many sheeple are now waking up.  The next big fight before the world war will be to destroy freedom of information, freedom of speech, etc. 

Then massive war.  May take a couple more generations...or they may just pull the fucking trigger tomorrow or next year.  Who knows...depends on how desperate they get and how they judge whether or not who is winning the "infowars", so to speak.

But you can obviously tell that everything is moving more and more rapidly by the fucking day, can't you?  Everything is speeding up big time towards only a couple outcomes.  Either outcome will be catastrophic for the world no matter which way it goes...our way or their way. 

Either way it's going to be about who triumphs on the other side and can pick up the pieces and establish control to rebuild the world in the right way or the evil way.

Is he inferring the separatists are shelling themsleves?  Which side is using cluster munitions?  It was John McStain that said "If we armed the Ukranian military properly, they wouldn't have to use cluster munitions".  That's the logic these phycopaths use.

True, the Ukranian army are the aggressors. They claim to be fighting terrorists but the shell cities and villages day and night making the civilians (inluding children and the elderly) hide in unheated basements during the cold winter. They probably took this attitude from Drone-bama who considers everyone in a warzone to be a terrorist so it's ok to kill everyone at a wedding party just because you suspect someone there to be a member of al-Qaida.

You all loving Putin are so dumb that i just dont know what to say. You are looking at one nonsense picture and you think you know everything.

Have you tried to look more closely at these "separatists"? These drunken fools without any ideas, any thinking any human impulses? They all are just cannon fodder for Putin.

Ukrainian army is nearly destroyed. Their tanks, their aircrafts and so on. Putin can crush completely Ukrainian army at any moment. But this is not the goal of the game. The goal is the death. Death of Ukrainians and Russian. It is why his support is constrained. He likes to send his soldiers to death.

Because he just has learnt to work this way. The same way used by Stalin and communists. Putin is hard cored heir of their philosophy. In reality the puppet.

What is so appealing you for Putin? Looks like you like him for the same merits as Obama. Big countries completely ruined. Russian people deprived of any hope. Dying of alcohol. Very small group of oligars (very often of jewish origin) ruling the country. Owning the country.

I'm living very close to Russia. I just see it. That is the truth. You are completely detached of reality. I can promise you. After a week of dwelling in Russia as a common man you would wish nothing but to return to USA.

USA and Russia are just two faces of the same monster. But dressed up differently. So all fools in this planet could love or hate what their masters command them.

E.g. you hate banks. But have you ever read history of russian revolution? Of overhelming jewish support? Without them, without big banks there would be no
revolution.

Your masters are playing you like kids. Because you are kids. And i often think that you'll became men only when Putin stamps on your face. Which his heavy army boot.

If you dont want it you have to start to think. Because this is the End Game. Ukraine. Oil. QE. Greece. Are correlated. They, your Masters want you to fear. To have false hope, false hate and love. To make new world from plain fools betrayed by their own false faith.

Are you really so stupid to believe that same ordinary people could fight with ukrainian army? With kalashnikovs vs ukrainian heavy military equipment? Few ordinary people without military training?

There are many Russian troops in Ukraine. There are high russian officers killed including GRU and KGB generals. There is heavy military equipment used by both sides. And there are pictures and videos. But what you see here? One stupid picture made for fools.

   

The war on this scale cannot be conducted by random russian separatists from random ukrainian labor force. There are needed trained specialists who can use advanced weapons. They are needed by both sides. So they are. Relatively small groups of professional russian troops using advanced, heavy weapons and the bulk of separatists are russians from the whole territory of former ZSRR. There are many ukrainian russians of corse.

But dont be fooled. If you assume advanced NATO help to Ukraine. So there must be advanced Russian effort to fight it. This is not war using pikes and arcs. This is not war of simple people.

Yeah, cave dwellers...

Vietnam, Iraq - were there separatists or just regular army?

Afghanistan, weren't they trained, massively supplied with good weapon?

Look at Ukraine. There are no mountains there. No jungle. It is the easiest terrain for massive war, for tanks. You can do nothing against professional army.

It is just ridiculous to me: to believe that some dumb separatists can destroy the whole Ukrainian army. As we have it now. But it is also becoming more and more clear to me. How dumb are people. How simple minded.

Most of the world, especially the world far away from USA believe in Obama, in USA , in their wealth, in their good intentions. But you do not of course!

But you believe in Putin. Why? Because you just like them know nothing. You are far away and you are just imagining. Creating your better world believing that there is someone, somewhere who is good and who will defeat your enemy.

Wesley Clark did an invaluable service to Russia when he gave the game away during the war to assist Kosovo rebels in separating from eeveel Serbia.

Remember that he was for attacking Russia back then. After 9/11, he gave away more clues about the game when he leaked the plan to overthrow the regimes in Egypt, Libya (done), Syria (ongoing), and Iran (ever closer).

If the Russians were paying attention (and it appears they were), they have had twenty years to prepare for what seems to be coming.

The psychos in charge aren't a product of true American culture...they're a product of the centuries long culture of world domination by tyrannical psychopaths.  American culture after the WWII has become the victim of these fuckers. 

They took the NAZI model and accelerated it via technology and refined it through the infiltration of all aspects of the culture and society.  It took them many, many decades to do this...they are and have been patient.

But I think we're now seeing them break down.  They're "sophistication", so to speak, is breaking down.  Maybe due to panic...maybe due to their own internal sickness getting the best of them. 

The internet and spread of information has really worked against them as well and you can tell the panic they're going through in how hard they're trying to destroy it.  But as the old saying goes, "me thinks they protest too much."...so they're desperation is now so very obvious that even their lies are finally working against them in different ways...subtle ways.  Like the Brian Williams lies, etc.  This is now bringing up many other lies, like the Hillary lies, etc.  It's catching on.

So now they're getting panicked and all of a sudden bringing out this FCC/FEC internet regulations to throttle down the freedom of information and speech.

This is only waking more sheeple up...maybe not as fast as we need...but it's still working against TPTB and hopefully will help speed up their destruction.

SA1,

Certainly the problem has nothing to do with real (founding fathers type) American culture and for the most part it is about American elitist psychopathic culture in conjunction with other psychopath elites from England and Germany.

But it goes back even before the meetings Leon Trotsky had in NY with the bankers in 1917 then left with full pockets for his happy Red Terror vacation.

So take a gander at THIS.

This reminds me of a lecture by Alexander Bard regarding the European invention of a mechanical printing press by Johannes Gutenberg in 1450. Bard speculated that if we were to ask Gutenberg himself as to why the invention was important, he'd answer: "To copy the Christian Bible, of course, and spread the word of God across the planet faster than can done by any rival method".

Anyone who invents and takes control of technology hopes to monopolize its use and typically has a narrow-minded grand plan. What Gutenberg failed to realize was that much like the Christian Bible, the printing press could be used to print every other kind of Bible, as well as non-religious and counter-religious literature as well.

Those who are using modern forms of mass propaganda underestimate all of the countermeasures that can be implemented using the very same tech.

US, EU and Ukraine can use Photoshop and edit video? Well, so can Russians. So can every other reader here at ZH. Hedgeless_horseman and Banzai, for instance, can have greater impact through their satire than hundreds of paid agents. Any image coming from the media can be peer-examined and the trickery revealed.

The unfortunate part is that our collective opinion will never have any impact on those who make the decisions. They start with the conclusion and work backwards, fabricating the evidence. It is done not to convince us, but to wash their hand clean and protect them from liabilities. It a Coling Powell excuse in case shit hits the fan: "The intel seemed credible".

This is the piece that has me confused.  We have been given some hints as to the computing power of the NSA.  We know what we are capable of on our own machines (thank you WB7!!).  With the machine power the government probably has at their disposal, why all this BS?  They're not even trying.  I find it hard to believe they could not have made a more credible effort around the MH17 shootdown, for example.  A powerpoint page with an arrow saying "see the pretty missile?"  Seriously?  I can't help but wonder if the "incompetence" is intentional.  I have no idea what purpose this could serve, but the absolute level of clownishness of a lot of this propaganda is beyond even the level of incompetence I expect of our government.  The rabbit hole runs way deep, and maybe those who claim the US is being set up as the fallguy to bring in world power aren't so crazy after all?

the first cash crop of 4,000 pounds of tobacco left Jamestown for London in 1614

Lots money and lots of tobacco inspired white people, mostly spanish, portugese and english to traffic Africans to the American colonies.

"we didn't lynch the natives"

 

Well, okay, yeah, (hangs head) we lynched some folks.

Today marks the 150th anniversary of the most terrible event in Minnesota’s history: The mass execution in Mankato of 38 Dakota Indians that followed the war between the Dakota Sioux tribes and the new state government. Revenge and rage drove the flawed legal proceedings behind the kangaroo-court convictions of 303 Indians who surrendered after the U.S.- Dakota war of that autumn. Only President Lincoln’s aversion to mass punishment limited the hangman’s toll to 38.

Funny thing, they were fighting to protect their homes and families. Just like the Donbassians. Nothing changes and we never learn.

Food for thought: what happened in 1492? Jews expelled from Spain.

Don't be so hard on yourself, America.

That sounds just like the Islamic expansion. Did you know three jewish tribes lived in Mecca and Medina long before mohammed started chopping heads? Guessing they don't get the right of return either huh?

Just sayin'

technically not robbery.  Robbery assumes a victim with damages after.  The natives were all killed off first and then the land was free for the taking.  Either way...a great start in creating a "free" society.

Anusocracy-

American "culture" is irrelevant.  What these sociopaths are doing is no different than what the British were doing prior to about 1950 (or The Dutch or The Spanish for that matter...) 

Political/economic/military empires are a very lucrative business but they ain't cheap to run.  Having the ability to print your own world reserve fiat currency helps.

The fight exists because we can't seem to stop our addiction to supersonic democracy. If we can get through the next 5 years without a big time war (featuring real plane loads of dead American soldiers) I will be shocked.
