Passing the Buk By William Bowles

22 July 2014

Well, aside from a few comments I’ve posted on Moon of Alabama, I’ve spent most of the time reading (when I’ve not been compiling) just about everything I could on the subject of the downing of Malaysian Airlines #MH17 and I think it’s pretty obvious that the Russians have been fitted up for this horrendous crime by the Kiev authorities (and possibly others) and, it must be said, they did a pretty bad job of it! If it wasn’t for the craven and complicit corporate/state media in the West simply not reporting on the actual events of the 17 July as they have been revealed, the reality of the frame would be obvious to everyone.

Ukraine News Links 22 July 2014

22 July 2014 18:25:30 — williambowles.info

There are so many news items on events in Ukraine that it’s hard for me to keep up with them! Below, find just today’s stories (after weeding out irrelevant stuff), I doubt I’ll get round to updating yesterday’s releases, there’s just too much of it! Strange to say, even before MH17, coverage of the Fascist onslaught on Gaza has been a fraction of the Ukraine coverage, which gives you a good indication of where the Western media is at.

Malaysia Airlines MH17 crash

22 July 2014 — Tigr.net

[Another interesting article on the downing of MH17. AS more information like this emerges, I’d say that it’s all pointing to the plane being hit by an air-to-air missile perhaps originating with the Kiev authorities. WB]

The news of the crash of the Malaysian “Boeing 777″ split the whole world in just a few minutes based on a predetermined basis: “believe / do not believe” that the blame lies with Russia / U.S.A. / Ukraine / Donetsk. While the international investigation has not even started, most viewers and opinion leaders very quickly – after just fifteen or twenty minutes after the news related to the disaster started to arrive – already knew who were to blame.

On Political Underpinnings of Strelkov’s Harassment

22 July 2014 — Cassad.eng

[This is an interesting article, if overlong, yet it gives a good idea of the dynamics of the situation, the conflicting personalities and rivalries between oligarchs and would-be political ‘commissars’. It also gives us a better understanding of the relationship between the Eastern Ukraine and Russia and especially, what the federalists expected Putin to do. WB]

On Political Underpinnings of Strelkov’s Harassment

As it is quite obvious, the campaign of harassing Mr. Strelkov that was launched yesterday did not come from nowhere and has a purely political genesis. Leaving Slavyansk, where as many expected he would perish together with his brigade, he became a so-called “wildcard”, which ruined a number of the previously existing scenarios.

Original Text: Cassad.Net by Colonel Cassad

Some genuinely do not understand why, for some time now, along with his usual military briefings, Strelkov has been making fairly pessimistic statements. In reality, the reasons here are fairly transparent.
