Whistleblower: U.S. Satellite Images Show Ukrainian Troops Shooting Down MH17
Source tells award winning reporter, Washington was lying about responsibility for tragedy.
Award winning former Associated Press reporter Robert
Parry has been told by an intelligence source that the United States is
in possession of satellite imagery which shows that Ukrainian troops
were responsible for the shoot down of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17.
In the absence of any proper investigation, media
rhetoric over the last few days has firmly pointed the finger of blame
for the downing of the aircraft on Russian-backed Ukrainian rebels, but Parry’s source tells a different story.
What I’ve been told by one source, who has provided accurate information on similar matters in the past, is that U.S. intelligence agencies do have detailed satellite images of the likely missile battery that launched the fateful missile, but the battery appears to have been under the control of Ukrainian government troops dressed in what look like Ukrainian uniforms.
The source said CIA analysts were still not ruling out
the possibility that the troops were actually eastern Ukrainian rebels
in similar uniforms but the initial assessment was that the troops were
Ukrainian soldiers. There also was the suggestion that the soldiers
involved were undisciplined and possibly drunk, since the imagery showed
what looked like beer bottles scattered around the site, the source
said.
Although the establishment press has attempted to deride
any questioning of the official narrative that Ukrainian rebels were
responsible for the incident by invoking the tired “conspiracy theory”
pejorative, Parry can hardly be dismissed as a crank given his key role
in covering the Iran-Contra scandal for the Associated Press and
Newsweek. Indeed, Parry’s investigative work on intelligence matters,
for which he was awarded the George Polk Award, suggests that the
information provided by his source is worthy of serious attention.
U.S. and Ukrainian authorities continue to insist that
Moscow-backed separatists were responsible for the tragedy, asserting
that a BUK missile system was used to bring down the airliner.
However,
this was contradicted by Ukraine’s Prosecutor General Vitaliy Yarema,
who stated, “The military told the president after the passenger plane
had been shot down that the terrorists did not possess our Buk missile
systems.”
In a related development, audio experts who conducted a
study into the authenticity of a recording released by Ukrainian
authorities which implicated Russian-backed rebels as being responsible
for the missile attack on MH17 concluded that the tape was fabricated.
“The tape’s second fragment consists of three pieces but
was presented as a single audio recording. However, a spectral and time
analysis has showed that the dialog was cut into pieces and then
assembled. Short pauses in the tape are very indicative: the audio file
has preserved time marks which show that the dialog was assembled from
various episodes, the expert said,” reports ITAR-TASS.
