PERHAPS BELLING CAT SHOULD USE THEIR CHECKDESK TO CHECK EVERYTHING IN THE CORRECTIV AND DER SPIEGEL REPORTS

Perhaps Belling Cat should apply their Checkdesk to the Collectiv and Der Spiegel reports before proclaiming them as the gospel truth instead of blindly accepting them without any apparent scrutiny?

I have pointed out several very important contradictions in those reports, some of which have massive consequence for Belling Cat themselves.

This is why I think that he and Belling Cat are the most dangerous people in the world at the moment. The USA claims to have data from 'sensors' which they shows that MH17 was shot down from Shnizhne. Yet they refuse to release that data, and other satellite images. Instead they rely on Belling Cat to 'prove' their case. And whenever Belling Cat give their stamp of approval it is pushed in the NATO media. Subsequently this is used by NATO and the Kiev Nazis to drive Ukraine towards NATO, which Russia will obviously resist, with full lethal force if necessary.

But Higgins and Belling Cat are not the professionals and experts that they or the NATO public think they are.

If Belling Cat were true investigative journalists they would see and highlight the following contradictions:
1. there are three proposed launch sites: Chernukino, 5 Km south of Shnizhne, and 3 Km north of Shnizhne;
2. the time and location of the video of the BUK in Luhansk has somehow changed: the time has changed from dawn of 18th July to either late afternoon or evening of 17th July; the location has somehow changed from a suburb a few Kms west of Luhansk to some as yet unidentified location on the N21 which does NOT repeat not travel through the west of Luhansk ut runs through the centre of Luhansk.

Why has this happened?

And does it matter to Belling Cat?

And why are the following not of any apparent concern to BellingCat:
1. that the USA says it has data from 'sensors' and satellite images to show that MH17 was shot down from separatists areas but refuses to release that data, and also has the NSA and CIA with all their rinky dinky super duper computers and teams of analysts, yet NATO is relying on Belling Cat to either 'prove' that Russia shot down MH17 or give their stamp of approval to any other report or evidence that 'proves' Russia shot down MH17, even if it contradicts everything that was 'proved' or approved before;
2. that the Ukraine military refuses to open their log books of military flights for 17th July saying that no flights took place w on 17th July, when several eyewitnesses have gone on record (in contrast to the Collectiv report) stating that military planes were close to MH17 when it was shot down;
3. that even though MH17 is believed to have been shot down by a BUK, Ukraine's BUKs are curiously being ignored.

Belling Cat are NATO propagandists not investigative journalists.

Well, what do you expect when one of their team works for George Soros?
