INITIAL REACTION BELLING CAT'S LATEST MH17 REPORT

My initial reaction is : Yes. So what?

Russia transported BUKs down to the border. So what?

But the report does not establish when the BUKs got into or out of Ukraine, if they were in Ukraine at all.

According to a video published to YouTube64 by the Joint Investigation Team,65 a Buk missile launcher was seen around midnight on 17 July (the night between 16 and 17 July) in “Сєверний“(Syeverniy) in Ukraine as well as in the early morning (around 5:00 AM) of 18 July driving through Lugansk in the direction of the border. An article published 19 July66 on a Ukrainian news site (mainly consisting of an interview with the head of Ukraine’s security service, Vitaly Naida), indicated that the missile launcher was seen on 18 July around 2:00 AM in Lugansk oblast traveling in the direction of “Северный - Верхняя Ореховка Российской Федерации“(Severniy – Verkhnyaya Orekhovka Rossiyskoy Federatsii), where, according to the article, two trucks hauling Buk missile launchers crossed the border, one of which had four missiles and the other three.61

The article went on to say that around 4:00 AM the same day, three more trucks crossed the border at that location, one hauling an empty trailer, one hauling a missile launcher with four missiles, and one hauling a military vehicle, which might have been a control unit (note: the vehicle was likely covered, so it could not be identified).

Yet on page 44 is a frame from a video showing the infamous BUK with missing missile which clearly shows the time "around 05.00 hrs".

So you tell me why a BUK seen in Luhansk at 2am, according to Naida, on its way to Severniy would be in a west suburb of Luhansk at 5am? Did the cabin driver fancy a bacon butty from his favourite truckstop to the west of Luhansk while transporting the alleged BUK that shot down MH17? COMPLETE NONSENSE!! You'd want to get the hell out of Dodge asap, not hang around. Which implies that Naida is lying.

Remember, the source of both of all these allegations is the SBU.

We have no idea who says they saw "a Buk missile launcher...around midnight on 17 July (the night between 16 and 17 July) in “Сєверний“(Syeverniy) in Ukraine" (quote from above). For all we know that could be someone anonymously phoning the MH17 JIT!!!

But can you remember what else the SBU said?

The SBU released a sick tape cobbled together from other tapes which they said proved 100% beyond doubt that MH17 was shot down by Cossacks from Chernukino.

Yes. Good work in detecting that track through the field. But there is no evidence provided that a BUK went through that field. Other military transport may have. But that killer evidence is still elusive. At the moment is all circumstantial.

But do you know what else is circumstantial?

Earlier this week Higgins posted a video in which an eyewitness clearly says, and shows with his hands, that something (BUK missile? plane?) attacked MH17 from its rear. And that is in addition to the other 8 eyewitnesses who have gone on camera, faces clear for all to see to be identified, who say that they saw a fighter jet when MH17 was shot down.

But who interviewed this guy who says MH17 was attacked from behind? Paris Match, the same Paris Match that Belling Cat's earlier report referred to, the source of the Paris Match photo of a BUK on a trailer apparently travelling east from Donetsk.

BTW, I highlighted the contradiction in Naida's statements months ago, possibly before Christmas last year.
