Malaysian Airlines MH17: Weathering the Propaganda Firestorm

Malaysian Airlines MH17: Weathering the Propaganda Firestorm

Global R., July 20, 2014

The level of unsubstantiated propaganda being directed against Russia regarding the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 has reached unprecedented lows.

There is tangible desperation across Western media establishments, their political spheres, and within their corporate-financier funded policy think-tanks as they attempt to reassert their agenda and narrative not only upon the crisis in Ukraine, but upon the entire world as their weakening grip becomes apparent to all.

The dangerous desperation emanating from the West follows the latest in a series of growing failures – the previous and most comparable being the loss of its proxy war against Syria and the desperate criminal conspiracy they unleashed in a failed attempt to save it.
Syria and the 2013 Damascus Sarin Gas Attack

In mid-2013 Syrian government forces had already begun an irreversible push to restore security across the country. While the West attempted to maintain the facade that terrorists operating within Syrian territory were still a viable threat to Damascus, reports even from the Western media itself indicated otherwise. The Independent’s April 2013 article, “They may be fighting for Syria, not Assad. They may also be winning: Robert Fisk reports from inside Syria,” even went as far as quoting Syrian forces as saying:

“Why should we use chemical weapons when our Mig aircraft and their bombs cause infinitely more destruction?”

It came as a surprise then, to analysts who were closely following the conflict to see in August 2013, a sarin gas attack in Damascus, on the same day UN inspectors arrived in the capital for the very purpose of investigating claims of previous chemical weapons use. Why would Damascus risk using chemical weapons when it was already winning the war soundly with more effective conventional weapons, especially under the nose of UN chemical weapon inspectors?

Answering the question of “cui bono?” was simple – NATO, its regional partners, and their proxy terrorists – who would benefit immensely if they could convince the world that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had “gassed his own people.” The Western propaganda machine was thrown into decisive motion.
The UN immediately set out to investigate the attacks but were unable to draw any conclusions as to who the perpetrators were. Citing “evidence” Western intelligence agencies had “collected,” but would not divulge, the West attempted to convict the Syrian government entirely in the court of public opinion.
