The MH17 Show Trial Isn’t About Justice Or Closure, But Information Warfare
Andrew Korybko
The MH17 tragedy is back in the news after the start of this case’s show trial in the Netherlands, which isn’t about bringing the alleged perpetrators to justice or helping the victims’ families find closure, but waging information warfare against Russia in an attempt to “conclusively” pin the blame for this crime on its supposed proxies in Eastern Ukraine so as to ruin President Putin’s international reputation once and for all.
The world is once again talking about the MH17 tragedy after the start of this case’s show trial in the Netherlands, where four of the alleged perpetrators are being accused of murder. It’s unlikely that they’ll appear before the court, so the entire process is more about show than substance.
In case the reader doesn’t remember exactly what happened on that fateful summer day on 17 July, 2014, the author recommends that they review his most recent analysis on the issue from earlier this year titled “Latest MH17 Documentary By SBU Whistleblower Shares Some Shocking Truths”, which covers what he believes to be the most convincing version of events that transpired immediately before, during, and after the passenger jet was shot down over Eastern Ukraine.
In short, the conventional narrative that the Russian-aligned rebels there were responsible is debunked as a convenient cover-up for masking Kiev’s culpability, which in turn also makes that government’s Western backers — and not Russia — indirectly responsible. It’s therefore understandable that a lot of powerful forces are invested in making their manufactured version of the “truth” the “official” one, hence the show trial, which is nothing more than an attempt to “conclusively” pin the blame for this crime on Russia and its supposed proxies in Eastern Ukraine.
Before going any further, it needs to be said that victims’ families have every right to be upset about what happened, and that everyone should respect their right to draw their own conclusions about what took place even if one doesn’t ultimately agree with them. The author doesn’t believe that Russia or the Eastern Ukrainian rebels were responsible, but acknowledges that some of the victims’ families think differently, especially after some of them staged a silent protest outside of the Russian Embassy in The Hague over the weekend.
Nobody should criticize the victims’ families and thus make this all the more harder for them to deal with, but there’s also nothing wrong with talking about how their reaction to this tragedy is being exploited by those who are relying upon it to convince others that their interpretation of events is the only correct one.
Politicizing the suffering of innocent people is wrong no matter who does it or why, which is why it’s morally reprehensible that others are taking advantage of them under the guise of “giving them a voice” in order to push their narrative onto the broader public. The ongoing trial isn’t about bringing the alleged perpetrators to justice or helping the victim’s families find closure, but waging information warfare against Russia, the purpose of which is to ruin its international reputation and that of its leader once and for all.
President Putin is generally despised by the West but loved by the non-West because of his domestic and foreign policy successes over the past 20 years, which greatly contributed to bringing the emerging Multipolar World Order about. Even his detractors recognize that he’s an epochal figure whose legacy will certainly be studied for generations to come by people all across the world, they just regard Russia’s return to international prominence as being detrimental to their countries’ zero-sum interests.
Nevertheless, they also wisely understand that soft power is more important than ever before in today’s interconnected, globalized world, especially after the information-communication technology revolution of the early 2000s, so they have a driving motivation to defame the Russian leader any chance they get.
Regrettably, the MH17 tragedy is cynically seen as the “perfect opportunity” to ruin his legacy by forever associating him with what happened even though he played no role in those events whatsoever, nor did his countrymen. All that’s important to the “perception managers” who manufactured this weaponized narrative is that the lingering suspicion of President Putin’s possible involvement “credibly” exists, which explains the infowar importance of the ongoing show trial for supposedly “confirming” that.
Back to the show trial itself, it’s predictable that the accused will probably be found “guilty” for the aforementioned political reasons of pinning the blame for that tragedy entirely on Russia and the Eastern Ukrainian rebels so as to defect from the “inconvenient” facts that have since come to light implicating Kiev and its Western backers, which was explained in the author’s analysis that he cited in the opening paragraph of this article.
The overall soft power impact of this seemingly inevitable conclusion will likely be minimal, however, seeing as how most people have already made up their minds about who was really responsible. Those who are convinced that Russia played a role will feel “vindicated” by the anticipated verdict, while those who have remained skeptical this entire time could use the newfound attention to this case to share the “inconvenient” evidence that was just touched upon with others.
The takeaway from all this “legal” drama is that tragedies will almost always be politicized for information warfare purposes, especially if the case can remotely be made that Russia or any of the West’s other geopolitical rivals might have had even an indirect role in whatever it is that transpired, so these countries should brace themselves to expect more such show trials in the future and take steps to ensure that their side of the story is heard by as many people as possible.

MH17 Show Trial
The MH17 tragedy is back in the news after the start of this caseās show trial in the Netherlands, which isnāt about bringing the alleged perpetrators to justice or helping the victimsā families find closure, but waging information warfare against Russia in an attempt to āconclusivelyā pin the blame for this crime on its supposed proxies in Eastern Ukraine so as to ruin President Putinās international reputation once and for all.
I see that the stinking, Evil, farce of the Lockerbie set-up has taken its inevitable U-turn. When Libya was set up by the West as the patsy over Lockerbie, it was well-known what the truth of the matter was. Iran had paid the PFLP in Beirut to bring down a US plane in revenge for the USS Vincennes’ deliberate destruction of an Iranian air-bus, over the Persian Gulf. The PFLP secreted the bomb on board, inside a radio, having penetrated a US DEA drug sting operation, that ensured that the baggage was not checked on its voyage towards the USA. However, the US needed Iran and Syria to stay out of the way as Iraq was destroyed in the First Gulf War, so the phony ‘Gaddaffi did it’ garbage was concocted, and a corrupt show trial, conducted from the body of the court by US officials openly signalling the prosecution.… Read more Ā»
Excellent article:
MH17 ā The trial of shame has begun in the Netherlands
http://www.donbass-insider.com/2020/03/12/mh17-the-trial-of-shame-has-begun-in-the-netherlands/
While Dutch prosecutors are playing international political games they lost focus on domestic crime: Dutch national charged in takedown of obscene website selling over 2,000 “real rape” and child pornography videos, funded by cryptocurrency
It’s just like 9/11: ignore any evidence that does not fit the narrative.
9/11 first responder evidence was stonewalled en masse, as multiple independent witnesses testified about explosions and repeated bangs consistent with controlled demolition.
All the crime scene evidence was shipped off to China without criminal investigators being able to examine it first. A1 criminal procedure, that.
WTC7 was covered up, is still covered up by the MSM. Oops: a building which was brought down but not by terrorists.
Everyone covered up what was nicked from the WTC vaults. It might provide some answers to cui bono.
Exactly the same is happening in the MH17 saga: the script is that ‘it’s Russia wot dun it.’ Anything which deviates from that must be deemed inadmissible.
This is not due process, it is due malfeasance.
Unfortunately, like 9/11, Rhys, people are believing that people died in a plane crash and are debating who was responsible just as they believe that people died on 9/11 and are debating who was responsible when:
All the evidence shows that death and injury were staged on 9/11
https://occamsrazorterrorevents.weebly.com/3000-dead-and-6000-injured-a-lie.html
All the evidence shows that the crash of MH-17 was faked
https://occamsrazorterrorevents.weebly.com/blog/did-mh-17-crash-in-eastern-ukraine
They push out Story 1 for the believers, Story 2 for the skeptics and disbelievers when all along it’s Story 3. It’s a simple propaganda technique using focusing and terms such as “false flag” (it wasn’t the alleged group responsible but another) to lead people astray.
Petra, if these events are staged, then somebody is staging them, with the hope or intention of benefiting from them. Yes? Otherwise why would they bother staging them?
So please. Before you post any more of your inane drivel. Would you try to provide a coherent answer to this simple question:
WHY would the people who benefit from these events go to all the trouble of staging them, when it is a million times easier just to do it for real? WHY? WHY?
I judge by the evidence not the whys and wherefores, Stonky, and the evidence clearly shows that death and injury were staged. As I keep repeating very monotonously, they always TELL us when they’re staging and in the case of 9/11 they give us obviously fake dead bodies, obviously photoshopped photos of people with their lost loved one, alleged victims who are, in fact, suffering from vitiligo. Just to point out that you don’t need a motive to make a claim about something, only evidence. A motive does not prove or disprove anything although it can help your case, of course. In any case, however, I’m not sure why you think it would be so much easier to do it for real. That really puzzles me. — Many people needed to be involved in the massive exercise that was 9/11 and I don’t think all the people involved would be… Read more Ā»
Oops! “alleged victims who are, in fact, suffering from vitiligo” should be “alleged burns victims …”.
Sorry, scrap, virus, it’s the plane crash we’re talking about. It’s pretty easy to stage a plane crash when you stage it like MH-17’s, that is, with complete absence of realism.
If it was entirely staged it would have needed cooperation from the ordinary people and militias of Donbass who were st the time in the midst of a very real struggle for their survival against the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev. MH17 provided an excuse to hit these people even harder. They gained nothing from it and lost a great deal. A false flag is probable, a hoax in these circs seems vanishingly improbable.
Tho for the record one of the Donbas locals first on the scene did claim the bodies smelled of formaldehyde. š¤·š»āāļø
Admin, one must judge by the evidence, not speculation about what you think should or would have happened. Evidence rules! What the evidence shows is that the crash was staged. Period. And there is zero, absolutely zero evidence to contradict that hypothesis. If you think you have any, please let me know what it is, because they are, as I keep saying, utterly scrupulous in never faking a piece of evidence so well (and I’m sure they could if they wanted to) that a believer of their story can brandish it in support of it. Admin, you never really seem to get that evidence rules, do you? Your argument is pure speculation and “vanishingly improbable” is a completely meaningless conjecture when the evidence clearly shows staging. What doesn’t count as evidence: — People being interviewed and saying one thing or another – these people could be crisis actors — A… Read more Ā»
I remember seeing the video by the woman who claimed that the bodies smelled of formaldehyde. That video has been removed from YouTube – I found the reference to that video on Live Leak:
WHY would the people who benefit from these events go to all the trouble of staging them, when it is a million times easier just to do it for real? WHY? WHY? So, Stonky, got any answers to my questions? Your question indicates that you are utterly convinced that doing it for real is so much easier. Where is your explanation for that conviction? You know what disappoints me most since I woke up: — Not that the power elite are totally hoaxing us — Not that people won’t give consideration to the evidence Nope. What disappoints me the most is how belief-driven people are regardless of what side of the conspiracy fence they’re on and the fact that they will simply withdraw from argument because they cannot defend their belief but refuse to recognise that as they cannot defend it they should change their minds about that belief.

In the photo at the top of the article, that pale bald judge looks as if he suddenly realized he was caught about to whip it out and masturbate…
That aside, who on earth designed those legal robes? Most peculiar. Some ‘designer’ was presumably paid thousands of pounds to come up with that unique styling. But why? It’s not a fashion show, for heaven’s sake.
ln Europe, in court, it is a long-held tradition that the lawyers and the judges wear robes. In the UK and all the British ex-colonies, they also wear wigs.
Hi V,
I realise that it is convention to wear robes within certain disciplines – I’ve worn them myself. But have you actually studied the design of the ones being worn in the picture from the Netherlands court room? Apart from the ornate embroidery on what would appear to be ceremonial robes worn by the UK Supreme Court judges, robes are usually a simple design, sometimes accompanied by a sash of some sort – why would they need to be anything other than plain. But the ones in the picture look like they were designed by Jean Paul Gaultier. š
The designs vary from country to country. Some are elaborate, others are very simple.
Jean Paul Gaultier would have designed robes that hug the body and reveal a lot of flesh!
And Bibs for the drooling. Either from senescence or anticipation, or both.
UK Supreme Court judges’ robes:
US graduates and UK university graduates also wear robes and weird hats with tassels!
This chap would be improperly dressed at Oxford without black shoes and a white bow tie.
(Though he could now self identify as a woman and wear a black skirt and white blouse instead.)
An undergraduate taking his finals complained that he had not been served a tankard of ale, to which he was entitled.
He was given a tankard of ale, but was then fined for failing to wear his sword.
I found that picture on an American website selling graduation regalia to American students.
Or he had just finished, and was re-adjusting his dress.
A Kangaroo costume seems appropriate seeing as the “court” most likely has already reached a verdict.
‘Most likely..’-masterly understatement!
The World turns …
Off Topic prob
‘The grand jury investigating WikiLeaks was dismissed by federal judge.’
But this is immense and I will post it at a current article – feel free to delete mods – i only post it here as most readers prob only ever go to the most recent article.
https://mobile.twitter.com/kgosztola/status/1238233439247257601
It speaks to the concept of Show Trials and maybe a few goodfolk who believe in justice.
It appears truth is breaking out everywhere
‘A FOURTH whistleblower from the OPCW has now spoken out to defend inspectors who challenged a cover-up of the chemical weapons probe in Douma, Syria’
https://mobile.twitter.com/BenjaminNorton/status/1238194099548762112
I caught up with this on Piers Robinson’s twitter feed, re-tweeted today by OffG. It is exactly the sort of progress required for the truth to become impossible for the MSM to ignore. I have forwarded the Grayzone article to my MP, who was aware of my disgust at the coalition attack on Syria post-Douma from my previous communications with him.
Also, a Federal judge ordered the immediate release of Chelsea Manning from jail, the court hearing scheduled for today was cancelled, but she still has to pay the $264,000 fine.
Hopefully, someone will create an official fundraiser with a credible fundraising site such as GoFundMe to raise the money to pay her fine.
The day after I suggested on YouTube that an official fundraiser should be organized to pay for her court fines on GoFundMe, someone did just that:
https://www.gofundme.com/f/Help-Fund-Chelseas-Living-Expenses
It took about one and a half days for the money to be raised! As that fundraiser was exclusively for paying her court fines, a new GoFundMe was created to help her with living expenses:
https://www.gofundme.com/f/Help-Fund-Chelseas-Living-Expenses
I tried to donate to the first fundraiser, but my payments wouldn’t go through, so I checked my account and found that I’m totally broke – I only have 80 Swiss centimes (0.8 of a Swiss Franc) left in my account. The only way I could help was to share the links on Facebook – on my wall and in a group – and on several YouTube videos about her.
It’s hilarious. I’ve argued about the staging of this crash on OffG before and after the arguments I made my own blog post and ensured that I made my case clearly to defend against those arguments. I didn’t just put a link to my blog post in my comment below (because commenters can, of course, choose not to consult it) but made the effort to include much of the argument with evidence directly from the media which could not show more clearly that the crash was staged and yet still there is “argument” against staging – no reasonable argument, of course, which isn’t possible because in the staging of events, deliberate anomalies are always present and there is a complete absence of anything convincingly real – they’re scrupulous in that way when they stage – but “argument” nevertheless. In addition to the “argument” there are a number of downvotes. Can… Read more Ā»

Copied to clipboard!
Sorry Petra, i’m not letting you get away with this. Lets dance.
And, of course, if one plane crash faked why not another … and another … and another? I do like the creativity of the YouTuber in this one for PS-752, the Ukrainian plane alleged to have crashed in Tehran. https://youtu.be/vftD3hh6Yro
You are a small minded, naive, insensitive and inexperienced twit. I hate responses like what I am sending to you. I hate name calling. But the sheer stupidity of your post made me very angry. I go to crash sites. It is my job. I know families who bury hands, feet and limbs. I know MH 17 families that did so. I have seen and touched wreckage. I have seen and touched pieces of the weapon. The murdering, lying, propaganda masters from Russia did this. Period. A person of some intelligence and who’s eyes really see the broken world the way it is, know that this was a real horrific tragedy and not some fantasy to entertain idiots like you.
Complete and utter bullshit. There is zero evidence that Russia was involved, and a mountain of evidence that the Ukraine did this.
Proof that you are wrong:
http://www.donbass-insider.com/2020/03/12/mh17-the-trial-of-shame-has-begun-in-the-netherlands/
News articles are not proof. You do not know what evidence is. You are not involved. You are not close enough to know anything. You are a useful idiot. A troll. A lost soul. With no hope of being anything else.
Oh look – it is Crispy back with a new handle and potato!
ROTFLMFAO!
Stop the projection, YOU Ukronazi troll.
Please give your proper name, who you work for and credentials and then you will have some credibility. Otherwise, you have zero.
Might have credibility. But not security. Playing your wasteful game just became too risky. Good luck hating.
Keep up the lying, old boy-it suits your type.
I believe your supposed biography not one jot.
I applaud your consistency and sense of conviction.

ā Nobody should criticize the victimsā families and thus make this all the more harder for them to deal withā how about no! Letās criticise them
They have suffered great tragedies, then been ruthlessly brainwashed with the threat of instant MSM vilification if they deviate from the script, so, no, we shouldn’t criticise them.
I remember the day this happened. I told some Eastern European people I know who hadn’t heard about it and they didn’t want to know any details, just became highly agitated and started jumping up and down, shouting, “Putin! Russia!! Putin! Russia!! Putin! Russia!!” The following day the Daily Bugle and all the rest of the MSM were screaming, “Putin Murderer!! Putin’s Victims!! Putin’s Thugs!!” When I first saw the photos, the wrecked cockpit was riddled with what looked like machine gun bullets to me. It seemed highly likely, to coin a phrase, that it had been brought down by short range gunfire targeting the pilots. Whether that’s what actually happened, I don’t know. Historians are divided about King Charles I, who was put on trial and beheaded in 1649. Some think he was an out and out tyrant, others that he was just a weak and foolish man. It’s… Read more Ā»
I’m not good at projectile impacts Paul but as the evidence shows this was staged I wouldn’t be surprised if your supposition that the cockpit was riddled with machine gun bullets is correct … and then there’s the issue of us being shown cockpits that look different from each other.
Certainly, it doesn’t look as if it was riddled with the projectiles described below, does it?
In the first video at this ABC News article (at 2:51), they tell us:
https://abcnews.go.com/International/breaking-mh17-crash-reports-findings/story?id=34441015
The aeroplane was perforated by hundreds of high-energy objects shaped like cubes and bow-ties.
It was, I believe, Geoffery Robertson who declared that Charles got far better justice than he ever gave any of his people.
Good article , however the vested interests in the west will continue to spin this monstrous lie . It was obvious the day this happened that only ukrainian fascists had anything to gain from this act of savagery. The Dutch should be ashamed of themselves for facilitating this fraud .
I am dutch, and amazed how -dutch- people keep on going
with the “Russia Russia” no matter what.
I admit to being a fan of The Poetinator, un frere de poetain so to speak.
But apart from my warm admiration for his eloquence and statesman-ship,
there were too much shenanigans mixed in the whole situation.
The Russians provided radar data, and the all the officials do
is act and complain like a bunch of winey bitches without any
sense of duty or proper decorum.
Mr. crypto-jew bonesman John Kerry had the satelite images
but refused to hand them over because FU little people.
The Ukraine has been granted veto right in the JIT investigation.
That in itself gives the game away in my perspective.
And Bellingcat. What a creepy asshole. Words fail me, ugh.

Oh and here’s the grief-stricken Maslin parents of three young children who allegedly died on MH-17.

Oh dear, an obnoxious little turd is spreading its usual poison.
Integrity Initiative scrapes bottom of barrel, or Azov Battalion butcher with no ‘Moskalis’ to torture, getting bored.
Those boys at 77 Bde have to take whoever they can get.
”… he (Putin, of course) started this crisis in Ukraine, due to his inability to except the fact that Ukraine rejected his bent so called alternative.” I think you’ll find that it was Yanukovich’s rejection of the EU’s Association Agreement that precipitated the events in the Maidan. These events were funded and sponsored by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and Soros’ Open Society. According to Victoria Nuland, the then Assistant Secretary for Eastern European affairs, the coup cost a cost a cool $5 billion – this according to her talk to the American press club in a meeting in Washington this was apparently the going rate for colour revolutions. Prior to this she and the US Ambassador in Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt were openly strolling around Independence Square in Kiev at the height of the events encouraging the likes of Right Sector, Svoboda, and various other ultra-nationalist groups to overthrow… Read more Ā»
Thank you, Francis, for stating the plain facts so clearly and succinctly. Doubt whether you’ll get a coherent response from Crispy, though – or any response at all!
A rouge elephant eh?
Perhaps a pink elephant is apt, as the U$ is really dumb when it comes to attempted covering up of their numerous ‘misdeeds’ around the world since at least ww2.
You got released too early, crispy.
Ever heard of cui bono? The Romans figured it first. Today, it’s the foundation of many a legal system world over. Your ranting contradicts it, in what way has Russia benefitted from the downing of the MH17 airliner, heh?
53 down vote thingies
wow!
I think what is concerning about the official MH17 narrative is not just the discrepancies which have been highlighted but as mentioned below, the long track record of miscarriages of justice and false pretexts. The list is endless – even over 25 years from questionable events in Bosnia, then Kosovo, Iraq, Libya and Syria the most shocking of all. Aside from the doubts expressed by various independent journalists/researchers about this, anyone with a functioning brain and attention span of a few minutes must doubt this official narrative. This event follows the pattern of all the others subsequently disproven – blame first, politicising, smearing doubters and and media hysteria. The onus of proof falls strongly on those making the allegations, especially so their previous lies and crimes follow them like a stench. The truth will come out on this and if (and I’m open to a number of possible scenarios) Ukraine… Read more Ā»
I wouldn’t hold your breath. After 30 years and the conviction and subsequent death of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi for the Lockerbie bombing, apart from a few of the victim’s relatives who campaigned against a wrongful conviction, it is only now that there is political interest in reopening the case.
I bet a straw poll, if conducted today, would find a huge majority believing al-Megrahi was rightly found guilty.
I wouldn’t be so sure. Douma from 2018 has now been debunked. Yes, we still need to chip away at the ignorance in the general public because MSM still largely not reporting that. But as one huge lie gets exposed and more widely reported the others will go. There’s too many people starting to question, and mainstream journalists coming over slowly. Once a bit of momentum builds they’ll all start to come out of denial mode. That’s human nature and what the powers of be are terrified of.
Megrahi’s biography outlines the fabrications there, as does ‘The Maltese Double-Cross’ video. The Dutch elite are as morally corrupt as is imaginable.
A huge majority of people polled would certainly believe al-Megrahi to be guilty. Whether he actually was guilty is another thing.
The truth, that Iran paid the PFLP in Beirut to bring down a US plane as revenge for the deliberate shooting-down of an Iranian air-bus, over the Persian Gulf, by the USS Vincennes, and that the bomb was secreted aboard, inside a radio, by the penetration of a US DEA drug-sting operation, was well-known within weeks. In fact it was thus reported for c.18 months in the Western MSM, but then, when Iranian and Syrian acquiescence was required for the destruction of Iraq in the First Gulf War, the Western MSM presstitutes changed the narrative instantly and completely, and the truth was flushed down the ‘Memory Hole’, and Libya blamed instead. You need truly vile presstitute liars and hypocrites to pull this sort of thing off, and they are as multitudinous as cockroaches, but less appealing.
Lie after lie, kangaroo court after kangaroo court-the ‘Rule of Law’ in the Glorious West in all its splendour.
Instead of wigs and gowns, the judges and barristers should just get togged up in kangaroo outfits.
The International Court Of Justice (YA RLY) that has shown its true colours by
focussing on african militia leaders, and was complicit in the death of Milosevic
and had one suspect commit suicide while in court…
He we go again. The ever compliant Dutch have, at the bequest of their American masters, been ordered to squeeze every last drop of propaganda out of this episode which in fact still remains a mystery to this day. So starting from the premise: Putin did it: This farce has already been decided in advance. Guilty, guilty, guilty. One would have thought in terms of motive – cui bono? Why would Putin carry out such an irrational act? But such considerations are waived aside; we know who the guilty ones are. This being the stated case there seem little point in pursuing the matter any further. But hey, if you wish to raise the issue again there was the little matter of Iran Air Flight 655 was a scheduled passenger flight from Tehran to Dubai via Bandar Abbas that was shot down on 3 July 1988 by an SM-2MR surface-to-air… Read more Ā»
It isn’t really a mystery at all, it is a fake mystery. The BUK belonged to the Ukrainian military.
Agreed and proven at the time.
I was wryly amused by the headine in the graun yesterday, though I didn’t bother to read further in that rag, namely:
Lockerbie bomber conviction ‘may have been miscarriage of justice’
You don’t say! Only 30 years late. I wonder if some headline in the 2050s will scream “MH17 shootdown conviction ‘may have been miscarriage of justice'”.
Because, as with the Skripals and Assange, guilty verdict first, sham court proceedings later.
Show trials have now moved the west after once being a feature of the Soviet Union.
The west isn’t so bad at doing its own show trials when high political reputations are at stake, but I’d agree that they are becoming every bit as shameless as anything McCarthy ever carried out.
In the USA conviction rates, without ‘plea bargaining’, approach 100%. But that’s the ‘Rule of Law’, and don’t forget-it’s better to be guilty and rich, than innocent and poor.
Of course having a private prison system, that reeks of corruption from law enforcement to law enactment, has nothing at all to do with such incredibly high conviction rates, (he says sarcastically).
Just as Julian Assange will be extradited to the United States to face a grotesque show trial there, and almost certainly be found guilty, so too, the 4 ‘defendants’ in this ‘trial’ will be found guilty. Already, that disgusting toilet paper substitute, The Guardian, has come out with the headline: ‘MH17 trial: Russia Keen to Thwart Investigation Says Prosecutor’. There you go in a nutshell. As you so aptly point out Andrew. From the very same sewer who has smeared, lied, censored, and ridiculed Julian Assange. And still profited most handsomely from Wikileaks expose’s. You just cannot get any lower. Anywhere. And with this trial, the boot will be stuck into Putin and Russia over and over repeatedly. Was it Goebbels who said ‘if you repeat a big lie often enough, people will come to believe it’? And who I really feel sorry for in all this, is the victims… Read more Ā»
I would never use The Guardian as toilet paper, I don’t want my bottom to be covered in ulcers!
Ugh… Yeah, point taken V. Was about to have a look at the video clip you posted further down.
And yes, correct, it was Kiev who diverted the flight over the conflict zone. I wonder how much coverage that’ll receive in the glorious free press of the Empire.
That was sarcasm btw. I’m almost expecting a few headlines along the lines of… ‘Putin Personally Ordered MH17 Shot Down’.
You know, just like Assange smeared faeces on his walls. Or that pigs fly. Or that true democracy and freedom flourishes in the West.
‘Putin pressed button himself!’
‘Like to treat like’, doesn’t work with excrement.
Eliot-“suckmyballs”-Bellingcat-Brown Moses-Higgins involvement should alert everyone that the whole thing is a sham and that British intelligence is deeply involved.
Anyone who has confidence in the impartiality of courts convened to investigate the actions of any state that is not aligned with the US is naive in the extreme.
Such parties have about as much chance of receiving justice as Julian Assange does.
It might be different if we had a MSM capable of independent thought, or not in thrall to fake news but instead we have the Beeb and the Guardian neither who can be trusted as far as you can throw them.
It is sad to see learnĆØd men, such as judges and lawyers, willingly cooperating in this kangaroo court.
What has happened to the Dutch? They seem to have sunk to levels even below the boot-licking British.
When this cynical charade blames innocents to exonerate the evil rĆ©gime in Kiev, we’ll know that Kabuki theatre is alive and well.
It’s true. Netherlands has long had a reputation for risking political incorrectness in the pursuit of common decency and justice.
I guess the bribe money is reaching legendary proportions…
We have become a total cuck nation.
I blame Bilderberg and the pedopower EU aka the NeoLibs.
The Netherlands is a narco state (Commission Van Traa 1994 – 1996).
Alleged pedophilia/child abuse among high officials/elites
(Rolodex-Affaire, shut down) not proven.
The political murder of Pim Fortuyn (RIP 6th may 2002) took place in a MEDIA-park…
A show trial as absurd as the Lockerbie travesty. The Netherlands is a true stooge regime. The sudden transfiguration of the disaster from ghastly accident, to deliberate ‘murder’ is particularly revolting.
I don’t think it was an accident at all, Kolomoisky’s declaration notwithstanding.
http://www.whathappenedtoflightmh17.com/what-is-the-role-of-oligarch-kolomoisky-and-his-private-army-in-the-shot-down-of-mh17/
Is that the Kolomoisky described in Haaretz ‘..the most powerful Jew in the world’?
Yes.
It was no accident the Ukrainian fascists shot down the airliner in a successful attempt to justify more arms and aid form the US..
Our government just wants the US to be happy.
They are very eager to please, thus the bit of extra effort.

JIT WITNESS: Two fighter jets were following MH17
Premiered 19 hours ago
Joint Investigation Team interviewed witnesses that confirmed presence of Ukrainian fighter jets near MH17 shortly before the crash. This video features one of these witnesses Alexander Bozenko. We were able to trace him in Donbass rebel territory and check his testimony.
Link to a complete JIT file on the witness can be found in our newsletter https://us4.campaign-archive.com/?u=055d0542fc506a8c7b6067843&id=7b8d85b159
Who benefited from downing civilian MH17?
Not Russia or the rebels it supports, they didn’t need any more bad PR abroad.
Not the Dutch, Malaysians or Australian populations.
West Ukraine wanted to blacken enemy Russia and had the gloves off – so motive available.
The Five Eyes wanted to split Ukraine’s industry from its symbiosis with Russia’s – motive available.
Why did the EU allow civilian air traffic over that semi air war zone? To save some aviation fuel in case of bypass?
The EU had nothing to do with allowing civilan air traffic over that conflict zone. It is Kiev which instructed MH-17 to divert its flight a bit northward and over the conflict zone. Malaysian Airlines MH17 Was Ordered to Fly over the East Ukraine Warzone Malaysian Airlines Confirms that it was Instructed to Fly MH17 at Lower Altitude over East Ukraine Excerpt: The flight path on July 17th was changed. The flight and its operators followed the rules. But on the ground, the rules of war were broken. In an unacceptable act of aggression, it appears that MH17 was shot down; its passengers and crew killed by a missile. (MAS, ibid) While the audio records of the MH17 flight have been confiscated by the Kiev government, the order to change the flight path did not come from Eurocontrol. Did this order to change the flight path come from the Ukrainian… Read more Ā»
Exactly. Thatās a key point that I remembered about the whole affair which places the blame squarely on Ukraine despite whatever other āevidenceā these Dutch lackeys fabricate.
Globalresearch,fake news, conspiracy website run by nutters
Compared to you, they are the paragon of sanity!
You should consider what it means to be a regular opponent of genuine fact-finding. Surely that’s not exactly an example of mental stability. Or, we could more appositely consider Krishnamurti’s perceptive comment that “it is no measure of mental health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”…
C’mon. It’s not too late. Refuse the peanuts they’re paying you for being an amateur jerk, and think about your moral future.
Pot, kettle.
Obviously you are suffering from rectal cranial inversion.
Pray what conspiracy did you see printed in Globalresearch? Just asking.
Who benefited? Was Malaysia being punished for their opposition to Israel?

This is a continuation of a centuries-old phenomenon, as is well explained in the article I link here. March 6, 2020 The Long Roots of Our Russophobia Exerpt: The origins of Russophobic discourse date back to a schism in the Church during the Middle Ages when Charlemagne was crowned emperor of the Roman empire and modified the Christian liturgy to introduce reforms execrated by the Eastern Orthodox Churches of the Byzantine empire. Mettan writes that āthe Europe of Charlemagne and of the year 1000 was in need of a foil in the East to rebuild herself, just as the Europe of the 2000s needs Russia to consolidate her union.ā Before the schism, European rulers had no negative opinions of Russia. When Capetian King Henri I found himself a widower, he turned towards the prestigious Kiev kingdom two thousand miles away and married Vladimirās granddaughter, Princess Ann.

The Dutch used to have good connections with Russia: Peter the Great worked “incognito” in the Netherlands and pick up plenty of ideas.
The spoil sports now are the CIA eagles who need an enemy to keep their budgets up. They found another poodle in Europe – Dutch PM Rutte – who is doing their bidding. The whole Dutch establishment- including MSM are following his lead – into the wilderness. They followed him blindly into the biomass burn fiasco, the N2 fiasco and the Natural gas abolishment fiasco. He might not survive a next election.
Indeed – Peter the Great traveled incognito (despite being six feet eight inches tall). He went to Holland to learn shipbuilding. I have an engraving of the simple wooden cabin he lived in during his stay there.

….no its a reaction to authoritarian head bangers like Putin,who’s basically creating a proto fascist,ultra nationalist army to fight his war against the liberal world
An army of fascist scum and their delinquent camp followers in the so called anti war,anti globalisation movement,oh, plus a bunch of angry silly lefty types
He does this because he’s a weak,angry and insecure man,who was brought up and mentally conditioned in a totalitarian Stalinist state
What could possibly be wrong with such a person???
Answers on a post card!
Good gracious, how utterly wrong you are. It is abundantly clear that you don’t have the first scintilla of the first iota of the foggiest idea about Putin.
You are full of hatred. That kind of hatred is the result of the distillation of ignorance by the fire of fear.
Tell me what part is false? Putin born and brought up in a totalitarian state Trys as hard as he can to undermine western liberal order,because the weaker it is the more impressive he looks,domestically and on the international stage Constantly plays the big victim Constantly plays the big ‘ Russia saved the world from fascists’ Encourage fascist and neo Nazis in Europe,ask yourself do you encourage such people? Do such people have hearts of gold? He’s basically taken it upon himself to now stand as president for life,more like dictator for life! By all accounts life is becoming more authoritarian in Russia,journalists,bloggers and activists are all targeted,some murdered,others beaten up,or giving criminal conviction in real kangaroo courts If you want a proper discussion on Putin lets have one,but i don’t think its the kind of thing Off Guardian likes to encourage,hense my opening comments about the author of this… Read more Ā»
Ukronazi for sure. In a basement in Kiev, possibly, or somewhere in the emigre’ infestations.
All of it is false, and just as false is your above response to me.
It may not be hatred. Just humdrum peskiness of the kind which can be bought cheaply by some vested interests.
You are far too generous!
Perhaps you’re right …
I reserve the right to change my mind though …
”Putin,whoās basically creating a proto fascist,ultra nationalist army to fight his war against the liberal world.”
The only ‘proto fascist ultra nationalist army’, you are likely to see in the Ukraine are the US/EU backed irregular militias comprising of Svoboda, Right-Sector, the Azov Battalion, the Tornado Battalion, the Aidar Battalion all who hail from all points west of Kiev, stretching back to the Lviv and the Carpathians.
Whisper it softly, but of course all of this is consistent with US foreign policy; it is an open secret that the US, along with the vassal Saudis, has backed, trained and paid for the most reactionary jihadists, and whabbist ultras in their wars against other countries not controlled by the US.
Yawn!
You forgot to mention that these militias you mentioned are for the most part neo-Nazi and quite openly so.
