Illarionov: Why was the Amsterdam Boeing shot down? 

The flow of information that has been let out in the last five plus days provides a sufficient number of facts in order to reach the most probably conclusion, given the situation: it was a planned terrorist act.

In light of the abundance of already publicized information the text below does not contain links to documents, calculations, publications, which are available in excess at the current time on informational resources and which are available to anyone who is interested.

The location of the “Buk-M1” during the launch of the land-air missile.

The field near the khutor Beregis near the villages of Pervomayske and Chervony Zhovten, to the south of the town of Snizhne and to the southeast of Torez.

The transfer (subordination) of the “Buk-M1” system to civilian or military leadership of the PRD.

Did not happen.

The order to launch the missile.

The Russian Armed Forces General Headquarters, Moscow.

Is an accidental launch of the missile possible, bringing about the demise of the MH17 flight?

Due to the technical characteristics of the missile launch (including the so-called “illumination” of the already launched missile) – it is impossible.

Is it possible that the missile was launched to target the Ukrainian military transportation jet An-24 (An-26)?

In light of varying technical characteristics (sizes and silhouette of the jet, the maximum altitude and maximum speed) of the An-24 (An-26) and the Boeing 777, as well as the flight routes it is absolutely impossible.

Why MH17? 

Throughout July 17th several dozens passenger planes passed over the location of the “Buk-M1” system (including the Lufthansa Munich-Delhi flight twenty minutes before and Singapore Airlines Copenhagen-Singapore a minute later). None of them suffered but MH17. Why was the MH17 chosen?

To execute the prepared plan first and foremost it was necessary to exclude airplanes of Russian air carriers, airlines of CIS countries, the US, Germany, France, the planes of all airlines that were flying from the east and south. The victim should have been a plane that either departed from Warsaw (“the capital of pre-front states” in World War IV led by Russia) or Amsterdam (“the capital of sin” in the concept of the decaying, perverse West which is countered with Putin’s spiritual Russia which came to defend the real values, which is getting off its knees). However a crash with a flight from Warsaw would have inevitably brought about a new impulse of accusations of the Kremlin leadership in systematic terrorism against the Poles. However the main thing is that they were unable to achieve the effect they authors of this devilish plan were counting on. Therefore the only flight that was left was MH17, which departed from Amsterdam on July 17th 2014. As usually its route lay a bit to the south, the Russian government was forced to close 12 airways in order to leave one possible route to the pilots – L980 which passed near the cities of Torez and Snizhne. It was there that a qualified, well-prepared, completely sober Russian crew of the “Buk M-1” that carried out exclusively the orders of their direct military commandment, was expecting them.

What is the essence of the “Amsterdam flight” plan?

The “Novorossiya” project that was so solemnly publicized on April 17th and aimed to prevent Ukraine’s integration into western economical, political and military alliances, is on the brink of defeat. The possible consequences of its loss for the authors, initiators and organizers has been discussed numerous times. The only possible way to salvage “project Novorossiya” from a complete and total fiasco is suspend military action of the Ukrainian army in the East of Ukraine.

By July 17th, they have tried and employed:

  • military resistance of the “separatists,” which turned out to be relatively effective only in the beginning, and in the recent time was broken by the strengthening regular Ukrainian army;
  • diplomatic pressure through Merkel, Hollande and others which turned out to be insufficient.

A new, much more powerful method able (according to the plan) to “shock” the drowsy European society – for it, horrified by the deaths of hundreds of their citizens, including children, to harshly demand that their governments put any kind of pressure on the leaders of Banderites and Ukro-fascists and force them to suspend military action of the Ukrainian army in the East of Ukraine.

A ceasefire would have allowed the Kremlin to feed fuel to the fire on Donbas with mercenaries and weapons, meanwhile institutionalizing and legitimatizing the big Ukrainian “Transnistria.” After the end of the initial ceasefire, well-developed mechanisms (thanks to Transnistria, Abkhazia, South Ossetia) should have been enacted to extend it to 5, 10, 20, 30, 50 years, during which the Donetsk and Luhansk ulcers could have dragged Ukraine back from integrating into western alliances.

After the success of “Amsterdam flight,” the operation “Peacekeeper” has begun.

Operation “Peacekeeper” 

After receiving information about the successful terrorist act, the main author of “Peacekeeper” operation communicated with the US President B. Obama, informing him of the tragedy, and “emphasized the necessity of an undulated and indisputable suspension of military action on both sides in the southeast of Ukraine, which have already led to numerous victims and forced hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians to seek refuge in Russia. The unacceptability of the Ukrainian army shooting at Russian territory was emphasized, as it resulted in victims among Russian victims. The Russian President informed Barack Obama about the means employed by the Russian side to restore consultations of the contact group with the involvement of the representatives of the Ukrainian southeast. The hope was expressed that the American side will make an investment in launching the peace talks process in Ukraine.”

In the further days all, without exception, public actions of the author (telephone conversations with the leaders of other states, public statements, moments of silence) were aimed at achieving a suspension of military action on part of Ukraine. Europe and the US, as if on command, started campaigns of demands, petitions, protests with the demand that their governments “immediately stop the massacre in Ukraine.”

Operation “Peacekeeper” is already partially successful – P. Poroshenko declared a suspension of military action within a range of 40 km of the MH17 crash site.

The role of the “separatists” in the “Amsterdam flight” operation

The Kremlin betrayed them, by using them as the prime suspect.

  • MH17 was downed not by “black Cossacks” (40 km away from the site, which is physically impossible);
  • “Bezler’s account” was delivered in such away that the SSU intercepted it and presented it to the world, first and foremost directing the search of the culprits in the “separatists’” direction;
  • Bezler himself was obviously shocked by the fact he discovered (which confirms that he did not participate in the operation, and only reported on it) of the destruction of the passenger airliner – as opposed to the icy calmness of his Moscow curator;
  • the actions of the “separatists” with the bodies of the dead and the plane parts increase the impression that was created (regardless of their total control from Moscow);
  • posting materials on social media in Girkin’s name with the goal of attracting attention to the terrorist act’s authorship on part of the “separatists”;
  • the Kremlin unfolded the propagandist machine “It wasn’t Putin!”
  • the campaign includes invasive propaganda forces; even some prominent representatives of the intellectual opposition were caught in the trap, and started publicizing the version of the “separatists” blame which is convenient for the Kremlin (the concept of the “monkey with a grenade”), the version that has no grounds, however, as the “separatists” never had the funds nor the opportunity for committing such a terrorist acts.

“It wasn’t the Georgians. Or the separatists. It is a third power,” this is what the OSCE observer officer told me while drawing his eyes to the map of Russia, about the authors of the terrorists acts in South Ossetia in the summer of 2008 that led to the hot phase of the Russia-Georgia war in August of the same year.
