Dutch Safety Board: Preliminary Report with Black Box Data Results on Sept. 9, 2014
Investigation into #MH17 will continue
unabated after issuing preliminary report.
Final report expected within a year.
@Onderzoeksraad See question 7. WHY
won’t DSB release ALL black box data, voice
and other evidence? Makes no sense!
Bloggers already “know” the conclusion of the DSB report: The Russians did it! Expect more western propaganda.
The whodunit question won’t be answered by the Dutch Safety Board tomorrow, nor in the final report. It’s not their task to point to a culprit, that’s what the criminal investigation is set up for. It will be a lengthy road, all experts are firm, the person ultimately responsible will never face justice.
See renowned attorney International Law Geert Jan Knoops and today’s NRC dagblad Benjamin Ferencz, prosecutor at Nuremburg trial.
As I predicted, propaganda machinery start churning.
Continued below the fold …
From PM Cameron’s propaganda station, regurgitating the same old bull from the early reports. Nothing substantial, will the BBC be held accountable? This article gets propagated via social media, such a dud. I’m quite disappointed Derek Sauer joined this crowd!
MH17 shoot-down suspects ‘were Russian’ claim eyewitnesses | BBC News | 5 hrs ago |
The crew of the BUK missile launcher suspected of shooting down the Malaysian Airways passenger jet MH17 on 17 July were Russian soldiers, according to eyewitnesses interviewed by BBC Panorama.
Reporter John Sweeney told the Today programme that three eyewitnesses separately told the programme that they saw the BUK in rebel-held territory a few hours before the Boeing jet was hit. He added that one eyewitness said that the BUK’s crew “spoke with
RussianMoscow accents”.See the full story on BBC Panorama: Putin’s Gamble, BBC One, 8.30 BST, Monday 8 September.
I heard this on BBC overnight. No mention of black box, no mention of Ukrainian civil radar or military radar, no US intel satellite pictures.
I guess they can just say that there was nothing by the crew after MH17 was struck, but there’s the question of who redirected the airliner over the battle zone, which would be on any recordings made prior to the plane being hit.
I wonder what Russia has. We know that they have radar of the Ukrainian jet fighters. Do they have intel satellites parked over Ukraine? They may have proof of the west’s obfuscation and they are just waiting for the right moment to spring the information. If they do, I’d suggest that they release it BEFORE the official report.
I believe this reporter is not reliable. This evening he was interviewed on Dutch TV in Nieuwsuur [English spoken]. Causing uproar across the Internet –

○ MH17: Malaysia will ask UN to send its peacekeeper to Eastern Ukraine
Malaysia will ask the United Nations (UN) to send its peacekeeping force to eastern Ukraine to enable the investigation teams to enter the MH17 crash site, said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai. The UN should fulfil its promise to provide a safe passage for the teams, including from Malaysia.

“We are asking the UN to take immediate action so that investigation can be implemented, we regret the attitude of the Ukrainian government that has yet to fulfill its promise to the team investigating into the area safely despite all the efforts and negotiations have been carried out, including Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.”
