Last Seconds Of MH17 Flight Were Snapshot By A Spy Satellite

Lost in the mix and ignored by "mainstream media" is the fact that this crash was the direct result of Obama's CIA engineered and financed coup in Kiev - making the White House criminals responsible and culpable for the crash and death of the passengers

According to information obtained from the email of George Bilt, a former MIT alumni and aviation expert for more than 20 years, the Malaysian Boeing 777 flight #MH17 Amsterdam – Kuala-Lumpur, which tragically collapsed on July 17, 2014, was shot down by a Ukrainian fighter jet chasing it.

The email was sent a few days ago attention to the Russian Union of Engineers which published a preliminary Incident Report on MH17 [1].

“I fully agree with the results of your analysis of the causes of Boeing catastrophe. It was shot down by a fighter jet.”

– wrote the author who presented himself as George Bilt.

The assertion was supported by a space photo made presumably by a US or UK spy satellite at the moment of attack around 13:20 UTC on July 17, 2014. 

Russian Channel 1 has released satellite images edivencing that Malaysian Boeing MH17 (top of picture) was shot down by a Ukrainian warplane (bottom left).

The picture, which clearly shows the launch from the left wing fighter exactly the cockpit, was attached to the e-mail. The landscape, weather, aircraft sizes on picture are fully consistent with the circumstances of the accident.

Ivan Andrievsky, the first Vice-President of the Russian Union of Engineers comments:

“Here is a space picture taken from a low orbit. According to the coordinates specified in the picture, we can assume that it was taken by a US or British spy satellite. We conducted a detailed analysis of the image and there was no sign of a fake here.”

On July 21 the head of Main Directorate for Operations of the HQ of Russia’s Armed Forces, Lieutenant-General Andrey Kartopolov stated that according to the data of objective control a Ukraine Air Force military jet SU-25 was detected moments before the downfall of the Boeing.

Not Alone : New Radar Data Indicates Other Jets On MH17 Course Before Crash

More fodder for WWIII; Russian "rebels" do not, and have never had planes    

RT

11/15/2014

New radar data indicating that military aircraft were in the air near Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 when it crashed in eastern Ukraine on July 17 has been released by a Russian air safety consultancy.

The consultancy provided a snapshot representing the readings taken by a radar station located in Russia’s Rostov, near the Ukrainian border, shortly before and about 20 minutes after the MH17 crash.

According to Sergey Melnichenko, CEO of Aviation Safety consultancy, there were one or two warplanes in the air close to the Malaysian airliner. The data casts doubt on the version of the tragedy favored by Western nations, which claims the plane was shot down from the ground by rebel forces with a sophisticated surface-to-air missile.

The data “came from an air traffic control center in Rostov,” Melnichenko told Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper, declining to reveal which one and whether it was civilian or military. He assured that “we have full trust in the sources, which helped us make it available to the public.”

“The data clearly shows that at the moment of the crash and after it there were planes moving north of the Boeing course. Most likely, they were military, because the spots are very close to each other. The conclusion is that there were either one or two aircraft there,” Melnichenko told the daily.

Another indication that the planes in question were military aircraft is the fact that they didn’t respond to being scanned, Melnichenko said. Civilian planes always reply to signals from radar, while military aircraft are “usually unequipped with transmitter-responders or the pilots turn them off during combat flights,” he explained.

With the rebel forces possessing no air force of their own, Russia and Ukraine are the most logical parties to send warplanes to that area, the expert said. But it would have been impossible for a Russian warplane to make it over the border without being detected by Ukrainian and NATO radars.

“There would’ve been reaction on something like that long ago – from NATO and Ukraine. But there was no reaction because there was nothing to react to,” he explained.

The expert added that the presence of military planes north of the Boeing would put them in a position to the left of the plane. Some photos from the crash site showed damage to the cockpit’s left side, consistent with a scenario of an attack by those planes.

MH17 might have been shot down from air – chief Dutch investigator

All 298 people aboard Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 were killed when the airliner crashed on July 17. The plane was downed over the warzone in Ukraine’s Donetsk region, where Kiev authorities imposed after the February coup launched a military crackdown on rebels rejecting the change of power.

Both sides involved in the conflict have accused each other of bringing down the aircraft. Kiev and its Western sponsors claim it was shot by a BUK defense missile system brought from Russia, and hold Moscow accountable for the tragedy. No evidence has ever been presented, except for questionable photos floating online which claim to show the system.

In late October, the chief investigator with the Dutch National Prosecutors' Office, Fred Westerbeke, told Der Spiegel magazine that his team is open to the theory that another plane shot down the Malaysian airliner.

According to its website, Aviation Safety consultancy and analysis agency provides information, advice, and analytical services in the field of aviation safety for the members of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), a collective of former Soviet republics.

"It’s Called A Koala, Tony" : Twitter Explodes After Abbott Trades "Shirt Fronting" Putin For Cuddly Joint Pic

Elephant-eared, anteater-nosed PM furiously backtracks on ludicrous tough-guy stance when confronted with the real thing    

RT
11/15/2014

Twitter users have had a field day with Australian PM Tony Abbott’s claim that he would “shirtfront” Vladimir Putin at the G20 summit over the MH17 crash – because the leaders' face-to-face encounter actually resulted in a...koala cuddle.

Doofus Australian PM "shirtfronting" Putin

Yes, that’s right. Social media is abuzz with photos of Abbott and Putin snuggling up to the world’s cutest marsupial, even though previous statements had almost guaranteed that a scuffle was in the works.

When the soft, furry critter sunk its claws into Putin’s suit, the Australian PM seemed to feel quite soft and fuzzy inside himself; a smackdown shoulder charge appeared to be the last thing on his mind.

Abbott’s remark came back in October, after he told journalists that he would “shirtfront” the Russian president on the sidelines of the G20 summit over the MH17 tragedy.

“I am going to shirtfront Mr. Putin – you bet I am – I am going to be saying to Mr. Putin [that] Australians were murdered, they were murdered by Russian-backed rebels,” Abbott said.

Twitter users wondered why the promised “shirtfront” was no where to be found.

Abbot decides Bush "tough guy" shirt doesn't wear well on him

'Shirtfront' is a football term for a front-on chest bump or rough handling aimed at knocking a rival backwards to the ground. It is a “reportable offence and considered illegal,” according to the Australian Football Rules website.

Abbott has faced his fair share of criticism both online and in the media lately. Most recently, he came under fire for stating that before colonization in 1788, the country was “nothing except bushes” – apparently forgetting about the country's indigenous peoples.

Hilarious digger hick provides comic relief at G20

Meanwhile, the only “shirtfronting” to take place happened on Friday at the official greeting for the G20 summit in Brisbane – but it wasn't by Abbott; it was by Canadian PM Stephen Harper. Putin approached the Canadian PM with his hand extended, which Harper shook while simultaneously accusing Putin of sending troops to Ukraine. “Well I guess I’ll shake your hand, but I only have one thing to say to you: you need to get out of Ukraine,” Harper said, as cited by his spokesman Jason MacDonald.

According to the Kremlin’s press service, Putin’s reply was that “unfortunately it is impossible – because we are not there.”

Western media is closely following every step of the Russian president at the G20 summit. 

Putin highly amused at Abbot antics

After his meetings with British PM David Cameron and France’s President Francois Hollande, during which the Ukraine crisis was discussed, Reuters cited “an unnamed source in the Russian delegation” claiming that Putin planned to leave the summit early after Western leaders' pressure over the Ukraine crisis.

Russian presidential spokesperson Dmitry Peskov denied those reports, saying they were simply wrong.

"The G20 summit ends tomorrow [on Sunday] and Vladimir Putin will surely leave it – when all the work is finished,” he told Kommersant FM radio.

7.3 Magnitude Earthquake Rocks Indonesia, Sparks Tsunami Warning

Damage reports still coming in, tsunami warning reported cancelled

AGENCIES
11/15/2014 - 0351 Western Jakarta Time

A magnitude-7.1 earthquake struck Indonesia on Saturday, causing tsunami warnings for a time throughout the region.

The temblor's epicenter was located 154 km (96 miles) northwest of Kota Ternate, Indonesia, and the major earthquake occurred 10:31 a.m. local time Saturday (9:31 p.m. EST Friday), the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center reported.

The earthquake had an initial magnitude of 7.3 but was downgraded slightly by the USGS.

Tsunami advisories were issued for Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, the Solomon Islands and other areas but were later dropped.

A tsunami wave of 9 centimeters (3.54 inches) was reported on the island of Jailolo, The Associated Press reported.

There were no reports of damage or injuries, The AP reported.

Nine strong aftershocks, ranging from magnitude 4.5 to magnitude 5.9, occurred in the first seven hours after the major earthquake, the USGS said.“Tsunami waves are possible for coasts located within 300 kilometres,” said the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

The centre said tsunami waves could hit parts of Indonesia, as well the Philippines, Japan, Taiwan and islands in the South Pacific.

Tsunami waves between 30 centimetres (12 inches) and one metre could hit parts of Indonesia, said the centre, while waves below 30 centimetres were forecast for the coasts of the Philippines, the centre said.

“We have issued an early tsunami warning,” an official from Indonesia's meteorological agency told AFP.

Julius Galgiano, Philippine government seismologist, said the Philippines had also issued a tsunami warning.

“We are telling (local communities) to have a tsunami watch in areas along the coast,” he said. But added that no evacuation orders had been issued and the tsunami waves were not expected to be high.

There were no immediate reports of any damage caused by the quake itself or any casualties.

Indonesia sits on the Pacific “Ring of Fire” where continental plates collide, causing frequent seismic and volcanic activity.

A huge undersea quake in 2004 triggered a tsunami that killed more than 170,000 people in Aceh province, on western Sumatra island, and tens of thousands more in other countries with coasts on the Indian Ocean.

A 6.1-magnitude quake that hit inland in Aceh in July last year left at least 30 people dead and thousands homeless.

Agencies say that the earthquake has the potential to create large tsunami waves along the nearby coasts. As of now, there have been no reports of any casualties due to the earthquake.

According to a statement issued by The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, the earthquake is strong enough to generate hazardous tsunami waves within 300 kilometers (186 miles) of the epicenter. The areas that are likely to be affected by these potential tsunami waves are the coastal areas of Indonesia and areas of southern Philippines. The statement adds that the height of these tsunami waves could reach over a meter. The communities of Tabukan Tengah on the North Sulawesi island are located the closest to the epicenter of the earthquake, and are at immediate risk if the tsunami does occur, the agency said.

If the earthquake does create a tsunami, its effects are likely to be felt in faraway Japan – in the southern Okinawa Island of the country. Other areas that could potentially see the effects of the tsunami include the U.S. territory of Guam, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean. It could take up to six hours for the tsunami to reach these places.

Indonesia is a group of islands located on what is known as the very active Pacific Ring of Fire, and is very prone to high intensity earthquakes. There are several active volcanoes in this region as well. Indonesia was very badly affected in the 2004 earthquake, when a strong earthquake hit the Banda Aceh province in the country. It generated massive tsunami waves across south and south-east Asia, resulting in the deaths of over 230,000 people across several countries. It remains to date one of the most destructive natural calamities in modern times.
