US/NATO backed Kiev Neo-Nazi regime intended target Putin's plane but hit Malaysian Airline MH17 instead?

category international | anti-war / imperialism | opinion/analysis author Friday July 18, 2014 14:03author by T Report this post to the editors

Did Putin's presidential jet fly same route about 30 minutes earlier?

Yesterday afternoon tragically 295 people lost their lives. What we do know is that if the Kiev fascist regime had any sort of tenuous proof that the separatists had shot it down the Western media would be screaming bloody murder. Instead they are quite coy and initially qualified it with the word accident. And accident of sorts it may well have been because it looks like this may have been more than yet another provocation by US/NATO via their neo-Nazi puppets in Kiev to widen the conflict but in fact may have been a direct attempt to assassinate president Putin because it has been reported his presidential plane flew over the same region approximately 30 minutes earlier. More on this later. But first some details on the lead up to this.
putin_plane_malaysian_plane_july_2014.jpg

The plane was flying at 10,000 metres (33,000 ft) which is very high and could only have been shot down by a missile and not reachable by a shoulder launched type of heat seeking missile. It came down in Ukraine 60 km from the Russia border.

The ITAR-Tass news agency reported that:
A competent source cited objective control data as indicating that the Ukrainian army’s (i.e. the Kiev Nazis) Buk air defense battalion had been moved to the Donetsk area on Wednesday, July 16. Another such battalion is getting ready for redeployment in Kharkov.

The source said aircraft flying at altitudes higher than 10,000 meters could be reached only by weapons like S-300 or
Buk systems. The militia does not have and cannot have such weapons, the source said.


And From RT: The Donetsk People's Republic PM Aleksandr Boroday has called the incident a "provocation by the Ukrainian military".

"We confirm that the plane crashed not far from Donetsk," Boroday said. "Representatives of Donetsk People's Republic have headed to the scene of the plane search."

"Self-defense forces have no air-defense, which could target transport aircraft at that height," he told Interfax.

"We have only MANPADs (portable anti-aircraft missile complex) which hit targets at 3-4 kilometers," Sergey Kavtaradze, representative for Donetsk People’s Republic PM, also told journalists.


It is reported that the black box recorders have been found by the local anti-Kiev militia and intend to hand them over to Russia authorities as they don't trust the Kiev regime to properly investigate the incident.

The context to the conflict so far is that the Kiev neo-Nazi forces have been suffering badly in their clashes over the past few months with the separatists because much of the real Ukrainian army melted away as there are not many people in Ukraine who actually want to fight for these thugs who are in power so that the country can be stripped clean by the IMF and Western capital as very severe austerity is in the works.

The Kiev regime has already imposed widespread repression, had banned the Russia language, attacked and killed civilians in the Eastern cities with bombings, airstrikes and shootings and murdered protestors in Odessa back in May by locking them into House of Trade Unions building and burning the building down. Those who tried to escape were beaten to death. The regime is very outwardly neo Nazi and racist and are one of the most regressive groups to seize power in a long time. And all losing sides need an injection in the arm. In the case of Syria we have seen time and time again the foreign Jihadists fighters who have run a bombing and murder campaign for several years now in Syria and financed and backed by Saudi, Qatar and USA/UK intelligence with considerable Turkish support, have been pushed back and defeated many times and there have been multiple provocations to escale the conflict to the point where the use of 'humanitarian' bombing can be justified. The extremism went as far as Middle Eastern and Western backed terrorists carrying out a chemical weapons attack and then trying but failing to pin it on the Assad regime. The situation in Ukraine is in many respects very similar.

However returning to the possibility raised earlier, perhaps the key to this tragic affair hinges on whether Putin's plane flew the same route shortly before the attack because he was returning from Brazil (where the creation of a BRICS development bank with $50 billion capital was setup and is designed as an alternative to the IMF for BRICS countries). To give some credence to this, the dimensions and colourings of the Russian presidential plane and the Malaysian plane were very alike as seen in the image below and if his was the intended target then it would put the whole incident in a completely different and far more dangerous sphere and plugs directly into the financial war taking place where the US dollar is struggling to retain its status as global reserve currency, manipulation of the gold market and the recent announcement of a huge $800 billion deal between Russia and China for trade in energy which would use their own currencies and NOT use the dollar. Currently all international trade, including oil is done in dollars creating a huge artificial demand for the currency of a country that no longer produces much except military hardware and propaganda out of Hollywood. Official Russian government reports deny that he flew over the conflict region but it is difficult to ascertain whether this is true or not and they are covering up the embarrassment and security lapse of such a near miss.

Quoting from RT
Malaysian Airlines MH17 plane was travelling almost the same route as Russia’s President Vladimir Putin’s jet shortly before the crash that killed 295, Interfax news agency reports citing sources.

"I can say that Putin’s plane and the Malaysian Boeing intersected at the same point and the same echelon. That was close to Warsaw on 330-m echelon at the height of 10,100 meters. The presidential jet was there at 16:21 Moscow time and the Malaysian aircraft - 15:44 Moscow time," a source told the news agency on condition of anonymity.

"The contours of the aircrafts are similar, linear dimensions are also very similar, as for the coloring, at a quite remote distance they are almost identical", the source added.


Another compelling fact of this case is this is the second Malaysian airline to reach a tragic end. Flight MH370 disappeared over the Indian Ocean in March and it is widely believed it was some sort of hijack. It had completely changed course. Despite all of the coverage around the incident, there was little mention of the massive US military airbase on the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean which is within 500 miles of where it allegedly went down. Given the massive ramp up and spending on the Cyber attack capabilities of the US in recent years which has rapidly developed, hijack may have been a form of cyber hijack in which control of the plane was taken over and it is unclear what happened after that but certainly in the development of such these new offensive capabilities one can conclude that a real life test of these systems is bound to ocur and there was no better candidate for Washington than Malaysia because their outright refusal to follow the Washington consensus. In the late 1990s during the Asian crisis Malaysia threw out the IMF and Washington has forgotten that disobedience. Beside cosying up to China in recent years and thereby breaking ranks with the US-Anglo global dominance has also displeased the US. After all in light of the Snowden leaks about the NSA in the past year or so, the level, capabilities and extent of spying and disruption carried out by the intelligence agencies is far beyond what even most people and activists could conceive of a few short years ago. And the pervasiveness is staggering. Combine this with the technology and capabilities demonstrated by drones and the utter contempt for human life where already thousands of people, mainly in Afghanistan and Pakistan have been killed in these drone attacks, it is not very hard to imagine that the lives of civilians of the 'disobedient' nation of Malaysia don't count for much either.

Therefore whatever happened to MH370 in March, it seems rather odd and coincidental that another Malaysian airliner is hit. If this was a random missile that went wrong or was intended for another plane, it still seems odd that it was a Malaysian plane. A more logical explanation is that the attack was some kind of pretext to cause worldwide outrage and blame it on the separatists & Russia and in this way turn public opinion against Russia and justify new attacks and broadening of the conflict. The game plan afterall in installing the neo Nazi puppets in Ukraine was to plunder the country and bring in NATO and provoking civil war along the Russia border which is exactly what is happening. The next stage of the plan is to push these disturbances further East making use of the many different ethnic groups inside Russia to bring chaos and a series of rolling Color Revolutions and hopefully to the breakup of Russia thereby removing one of only two powers that can pose any serious challenge to Washington. With Yeltsin they nearly succeeded in destroying the country.

Where things went wrong for the attackers and their handlers is that the plane was not full of Malaysians and instead there were 154 Dutch people on board. The European countries have so far allowed themselves and some willingly, to be bullied by the US into publicaly supporting the neo Nazis in Kiev and imposing sanctions on Russia but now that so many Dutch have been killed it may not be so easy to turn this into a stick to bash the separatists and Russians and there will be many high up in Dutch government, military and intelligence circles who know exactly what the bigger game is and will not be so enthusiastic to go along with it anymore.

Already in the press the Western media have utilised social media to plant stories of tapped telephone calls from the leader of the separatists claiming that had shot down the plane. Such false stories have to be put into the context of what makes sense, is logical and the wider agenda. On the other hand reproduce here is a set of tweets from a Spanish air traffic controller working in Kiev who strongly suggests this was carried out by Ukraine.
