War

Russian news reports a Malaysian passenger jet was shot down over Ukraine. Rebels blamed. Alternative report claims a new anti-aircraft system deployed by the Ukrainian coupmeisters shot the plane down. More. This could be an accident, but if it wasn't, the rebels had nothing to gain.

"Ukraine's state security chief accused two Russian military intelligence officers of involvement in the downing of a Malaysian passenger plane in eastern Ukraine on Thursday and said they must be punished for their 'crime'.

SBU chief Valentyn Nalivaychenko said he based his allegation on intercepts of phone conversations between the two officers."

That's convenient for the warmongers. I hope we don't end up comparing this to the Lusitania. This sounds way too much like the false flag chemical attacks in Syria.

"As the drama unfolded, several other passenger jets were flying through Ukrainian airspace on one of the main routes from Europe to Asia for air traffic.
Today's calamity will prompt questions about why the route was still being used given previous incidents."

To people who care about others, that seems foolish, but maybe ruler wanted this to happen.

"A UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) spokesman said: 'The Ukrainian authorities are responsible for managing their airspace and the UK or other countries cannot enforce airspace restrictions in the area.

'However, the CAA has previously issued advice to UK airlines on operating in this area and following this incident, Eurocontrol (the European air traffic control body) has issued advice to airlines to plan routes that avoid the area.'

This evening, the Department for Transport in London said flights were now being diverted."

Fat lot of good that does after these people were already killed.

"The 17-year-old jet was shot down over Donetsk in Eastern Ukraine despite commercial aircraft being warned against using the airspace because of the ongoing conflict.

One of the major questions is whether the Malaysian flight crew received the warning from flight safety officials about the risk to safety."

We'll never get an honest answer to that.

Captain Sully wants to know why the plane was flying over a war zone too.

CBS reported pro-Russian separatists shot down the plane, then later reported they had no facts.

The number of people on the plane magically jumped from 295 to 298.

"The plane was shot down, because the Russian air defense systems was affording protection to Russian mercenaries and terrorists in this area. Ukraine will present the evidence of Russian military involvement into the Boeing crash."

But will it be real evidence or something created by NSA?

The black box went to Moscow. Everybody has interests in Ukraine, so nobody can be trusted.

This is pretty good evidence the rebels shot it down by mistake.

"Social media posts by pro-Russian insurgents -- most of them hastily removed -- suggest the rebels thought they had shot down a Ukrainian army plane before realising in horror that it was in fact a packed Malaysian airliner."

Again, these could have been faked. You can't know anymore. 

Why Israel's rulers attacks Gaza.

"Hamas has publicly stated that it was not responsible for the deaths, and the claim is credible. Increasingly isolated, it had just concluded reconciliation talks with Fatah, a popular move with the Palestinian public, which it was not likely to jeopardize.
Bombing Gaza is convenient for Israel for many reasons: It ends further progress on Palestinian unity talks. It ends focus on the failure of the Kerry peace talks during which Israel continued to announce illegal settlement construction. It reminds all Palestinians that they will suffer a similar fate if they have the temerity to defy Israel. And it unites Israelis like nothing else."

This is a good reminder that rulers on both sides profit from war, and that's why it never ends.
