Dear Friends + Interlocutors:

At this point, it’s open season…the Western press, NATO, Washington officialdom et al. will say anything to discredit Moscow, no matter how untrue, unfair and outrageous. See WSJ article linked below. Putin did not shoot down Flight MH17. That topic is for later.

Moscow was not allowed to take part in the Dutch investigation of MH17 just like it is not being allowed to take part in the Swedish investigation of the Nord Stream II pipeline blowup. Why? 

Remember, we are being told that Russia blew it up, their own pipeline. A new article by Seymour Hersh sets the record straight. Who ya gonna believe? The WH, the Pentagon, the CIA, the NY Times or Hersh? My money is on Hersh.
