This year's in--Russia tactic seems to just combine the two, so you got Orthodox priests walking around with red Lenin banners.

The BBC documentary, The Conspiracy Files: Who Shot Down MH17?, is on tomorrow at 9pm BST on BBC 2, and should be a good watch, not least because I'm in it. There's a bunch of theories tested about MH17, and so more evidence supporting key theories.

They take a look at various claims made by various individuals and groups, in some case interviewing those people, and then get experts to weigh in. I know they look at the SU-25 theory, which is then demolished by experts saying it was physically impossible; they investigative claims the smoke photos were fake, which includes testing claims by an RT journalists they interview you can't see it from the place it was supposedly taken from (which they show is bullshit too); and I get to call the Russian MoD on all the bullshit they put out in their July 21st 2014 press conference. It's an hour long, so they cover quite a bit of stuff.

Belsat is an anti-Lukashenko news organization based in Poland because they can't operate in Belarus. The Night Wolves were in Brest attempting to enter Poland, and this Belsat reporter asked the local leader of the Belarusian Republican Youth Union whether Crimea belonged to Ukraine or Russia. He couldn't answer the question. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iub-y2COLtM And the Night Wolves were denied entry into Poland. http://belsat.eu/en/news/whose-land-is-crimea-pro-lukashenka-organisation-activist-on-both-sides-of-the-fence/

Right up there with the important of calling out media outlets for referring to SPGs as tanks. Which is to say not important at all, in the slightest, because most people think "Fighter" just means "Jet plane for war" and "Tank" means "Armored gun on tracks".

My favourite bit is they actually broadcast the bit where I called the Russian MoD liars and said they were absolutely disgusting. [edit] This bit: https://twitter.com/bellingcat/status/727740537625776129 Episode is here on iPlayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0791ns4/the-conspiracy-files-who-shot-down-mh17 And for the moment it's on YouTube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XATQcYIzrPM Brown Moses fucked around with this message at 06:53 on May 5, 2016 |

Where is your evidence that he went to Bosnia? You have him confused with another American volunteer from New York. It's true he smuggled marijuana across the border with Mexico, which makes him even cooler as a person. Marijuana is now decriminalized in most US states. He makes a pretty good defense of it in his Graham Phillips interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S-bFdiFzkA

Wow, why even give Ray McGovern the time of day? He didn't even put up an attempt at any sort of evidence. Just the usual conspiracy theory hand-wringing of "they have it they just won't show it" and "This has been proven to be false" without any contribution.

I have to say, this internet wall is not doing anything good for BBC as a news outlet. They're pretty much killed themselves as far as the rest of the world is concerned. I had to try two whole proxies before I could watch it.

http://www.defense.gov/News-Article-View/Article/751800/resurgent-russia-poses-threat-to-nato-new-commander-says This is some strong language coming out of NATO recently and not the Baltic countries for a change. I wonder how much of the concern is based on military intelligence on Russian plans and how much is wardrum beating. I doubt Obama would have come all the way to Narva to give that speech about protecting the Baltics unless there was good evidence that he needs to send a crystal clear message.
