Eric Zeusse — Evidence Is Now Conclusive: Two Ukrainian Government Fighter-Jets Shot Down Malaysian Airlines MH17
But evidence needs to be evaluated on its merit instead of only its source.
Intelligence involves sifting through a lot of information and evaluating it based on a number of factors, constantly adjusting probability in light of new information.
Will the public ever know precisely what happened for sure. Seldom in most cases.
I presume that people are familiar with the reporting in conventional media and the spin. I try to provide other information to take into account in coming up with a likely narrative, motivation, etc.
If readers have other information they regard as relevant they are invited to report it and source it in the comments here.
In this case we are attempting to understand what political and economic impact this incident is likely to have in terms of what may have happened, how the various parties are engaged and related, and how it relates to local, regional, and global context.
BTW, by "probability" above, I am using the ordinary language term in the sense of likelihood or guess rather than the result of a mathematical probability function.
Eric Zuesse is a Lyndon LaRouche troll.
ReplyDeleteAnything from the "globalresearch" website is most likely false.

ReplyDeleteExactly.
And anyway, I'd like to know who is truly reliable? Carlos Slim Helu's NYT?
