Russian Media on Downed Airliner: The CIA Did It
nbcnews.com ^ | July 21, 2014

Posted on 07/21/2014 1:16:53 PM PDT by Tailgunner Joe

Just one day after the horrific tragedy that left 298 people dead, Russia's Channel One ran a package telling its audience that the entire incident was orchestrated by the United States, specifically by the CIA. A document was broadcast purportedly showing that the U.S. was planning to do the same thing during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

Viewers learned that the "U.S. orchestrated this because Ukrainian government is not sophisticated enough to orchestrate this," according to the broadcast, which was translated from the original Russian by CNBC. According to Channel One, Russia's swift economic growth has inspired the United States to try to damage Russia's economy.

The government of Russian President Vladimir Putin financially supports and editorially controls a domestic media machine that has become reminiscent of the Soviet propaganda machine, and the former KGB agent has shut down most independent news channels that may stray from the Kremlin line.

Kiev has mercenaries fighting in eastern Ukranian. The pro-Kiev posters are quite open about that. It's quite possible those contract fighting have training on complicated weapons from previous contracts.

Should we worry? Yeah. The US caused ISIS, and they're out of control, well trained, smart, and capable of all kinds of mischief. I wouldn't be surprised if situations occur all over the world designed to instigate war.

Great, now the CIA e-mails will go missing. Oh wait, they
don’t have e-mail.

I think George Bush and Lindsey Lohan did it but
nobody will listen.

Or

Putin, you just shot down a civilian airliner and the
United States “Fagboy in Chief” is not happy, happy happy.

What you gonna do now?

“In Russia, America is the tyrant of the Earth. What’s sad is that Obama and co are too lazy and/or incompetent to address this propaganda.”

Tough to do, when Obama and his people, in fact, the entire Democrat/Media complex, has been doing this for the last 20 years....

You bet. I don't think Poroshenko even controls all the elements of his own government, especially the Interior Ministry.

Of course I wouldn’t laugh.

The Common Sense crowd of the United States has spent all of their years trying to fix every mistake libtard nation throws at us.

They have a weak everything policy except when it comes to taxation on hard working Americans.

To be fair, Putin was popular during the Bush Administration as well. The Russian people have given up on trying to erect a truly free society and are embracing their serfdom past.

I was curious too...did a search of 'ukraine mercenaries'.

Seems all of the stories are either Russian sources or western media repeating Russian claims of US mercenaries working for Greystone in Ukrainian uniforms trying to incite a civil war - they have been pushing this since April. Hardly pro-Kiev though.

It does explain where their absurd claim that the CIA shot down the jet came from. I must say in soviet accent...is boolsheet.

I figured as much. Just don’t dare call it “propaganda.” Someone might mention MSNBC in order to change the subject.

How hard would it be for the CIA or one of its surrogates to gain access to one of these mobile systems?

Except Strelkov and his stooges already admitted to shooting it down, albeit they thought it was a Ukrainian transport carrier. Strelkov also admitted that the recordings from the Ukrainian SBU are real, he just claims he was "taken out of context" when talking to his Russkie handler.

Maybe Strelkov, a Russian GRU, is a double agent working for NATO?

...or maybe you're just regurgitating talking points from the Clinton/Kerry State Dept. with whom you share an agenda.

In light of the recent Malaysia Airlines tragedies (one missing, one brought down by the Russians) I completed a project I began some time ago to remind us of an earlier Russian involved murder of hundreds of innocents. Will someone please remind obozo that it’s still a jungle out there!

Freedom of the press is highly overrated, especially if they are allied with enemies of the state.

By all rights we should have an anti-communist press in America, but in fact we have a pro communist press, just like in Russia.

They both serve the cause of international communism.

It's about time the Right in this country took matters in hand.

Create the conditions that make it impossible for the American marxists to ever seize power in the USA again.
