I LAUGHED WHEN I READ THIS. I THINK YOU WILL TOO.

The latest buzz regarding MH17 is this article in De Volksrant.

Post summarising details of the new Volkskrant article on #MH17, some very interesting stuff in there https://t.co/S11Td349Ua #PutinAtWar

Apparently someone from De Volksrant went to Donbass and asked a few questions about BUKs and missiles. But despite the alleged atmosphere of fear, which the articles alleged 'witnesses' cite, the reporter lived to tell the tale!

I have a Google translation of the article (original is in Dutch). Only one 'witness' is named, a nurse called Galina, who is quoted as saying that all she heard was the bang of MH17 exploding. No missiles. No planes. Just a bang.

Another 'witness' who is not named, but who apparently asked the reporter to say "hello" to a Mike Thijssen from Waalwijk, says that he saw a missile fired from Ukrainian territory. But the article casts doubt on this 'witness' by describing him as "of a vodka bottle armed with a thin man", suggesting he is a drunk.

And it seems Pyotr Fedotov was also interviewed. Fedotov is the man who Reuters says saw a missile fired from rebel-held territory but was afraid to say so on camera. Fedotov then told RT that he said no such thing. RT has asked Reuters to show the interview in full. So far Reuters has not done so. But this De Volksrant article tries to destroy Fedotov's credibility, which is funny considering this is supposed to be a piece of reporting, not propaganda, right?

Anyway, the reporter went to the village where Fedotov lives. Did the reporter find anyone who saw or a heard a missile? Nope. Here is what the translation says:

Facing a Reuters reporter told some residents of the village that they had seen happen to a rocket. The colossus zigzagged a bit in the air, indicating that the missile must be fired nearby. But if we walk the Red October Street, no one appears to have seen or noticed. One man even said not to have heard the massive explosion of the device. A Muscovite in a shiny tracksuit, whose mother lives in the village, waves aside reports of a BUK missile away. All nonsense. Later we find out that he was the man who had told Reuters about the zigzagging missile, though he recanted those statements again to the Russian TV. Apparently he liked to conceal it better that fudge to us.

NOBODY IN THAT VILLAGE SAW OR HEARD ANYTHING!!

If Reuters released the Fedotov interview then I'll trust them. But when then the dude who runs Reuters sits on the board of The Atlantic Council then I'm sceptical that the full interview will be released.

But this is apparently contradicted by a woman from a nearby village who says she saw and heard the missile. But again, she is anonymous. But curiously, even though it seems nobody in the hamlet Red October saw or heard anything anything from 2Km away, the residents of the tower block where the photo of the alleged plume of smoke was taken saw the plume clearly, from 14 km away!! But again, nobody would give their name.

So who owns De Volksrant? Christian van Thillo. His family own several newspapers in Belgium, and he is very much the Rupert Murdoch of Belgium. In fact Murdoch is van Thillo's idol!

Is van Thillo a member of Bilderberg? Apparently not, but he does mingle with some very dodgy people, as you would expect of a member of the elite of Belgium, home of NATO and the Marc Dutroux. Van Thillo is a member of Le Cercle de Lorraine. Guess who are also members? Bilderberg supremo Etienne Davignon, and Count Maurice Lippens, also Bilderberg. Both are accused as kiddie-fiddlers.

Van Thillo is currently the Chairman of the European Publishers Council.

But read this. A former employee of van Thillo accuses him of tyranny and editorial control!!

Mediatycoon Christian Van Thillo in voetsporen Rupert Murdoch

So let's recap:
1. this De Volksrant article has apparently found 'witnesses' who saw/heard a missile, or saw a plume of smoke from 14km away, but we do not know their names or see their faces;
2. those people who could be identified, including Fedotov, say they saw nothing or a missile fired from Ukrainian territory;
3. no fighter jets are mentioned but is the reporter telling us everything he was told, or just what he wants us to read, or what his editor wants us to read?
3. and De Volksrant is owned by Christian van Thillo who mingles with Bilderbergers and accused kiddie-fiddlers, is accused of being a tyrant and of editorial control, and who idolises Rupert Murdoch;

What we need to know about van Thillo is how his newspapers have reported on Dutroux, Syria and Ukraine.

And lest we forget: Belgium is the home of NATO.

Sleep tight...
