MH17: Liars
exposed, yet again!!! 
US: No Evidence of Direct Russia Link to Plane Downing
After
Days of Officials Throwing Blame, Intel Officials Concede Facts Not There
by Jason Ditz, July 22, 2014
After days of hysterical accusations against Russia over
the downing of flight MH17, and days of promising super secret evidence existed to vindicate those claims, the administration
made the decision to allow intelligence officials to release a public
assessment to reporters today.
They’re probably rethinking tonight, after the intelligence
community conceded, in front of a room of reporter, that there is “no evidence” whatsoever
linking Russia to the downing of MH17…
US Story on MH17 Unravels Over Lack of Real Evidence
Case
Built Almost Entirely on YouTube Videos, Tweeted Photos
by Jason Ditz, July 22, 2014
The Obama Administration’s narrative
of Russian guilt in the Malaysia Airlines MH17 downing is unraveling like a
cheap sweater tonight, under the increasing realization that dubious social
media-sourced evidence is essentially all there is, and the admission by US
intelligence officials that there is no real evidence pointing to Russia at all.
What is now being euphemistically called “major evidentiary and legal obstacles,” but would more
correctly be called “completely full of holes,” it is quickly becoming a case
study in why random videos you found on YouTube are not a great way to build a
case in a major international incident.
Take the photograph released over the
weekend on social media, showing the putative 9k37 Buk that shot down the plane
just hanging out in the middle of a quiet square in a rebel town. It would be
pretty damning, if true, but it also would raise a lot of questions, chiefly
why the rebels left the vehicle in such a conspicuous place during an alleged
coverup.
The photo, like YouTube videos claiming to be the rebels
confessing to the shoot-down but built on content created a day before the
plane crashed in the first place, was quickly labeled “unable to be verified,”
and with deeper digging seem probable forgeries.
People who have been on social media for more than a few
minutes know how much nonsense is presented as absolute truth there, and the
Obama Administration’s decision to base its entire case on stuff they read
there, going to the extent of arguing with a dubious press, has clearly not
served them well.
