Ron Paul: “What the Media Won’tReport About Malaysian AirlinesFlight MH17″ [similar to thechemical conspiracy against Syria]syrianfreepressthe real SyrianFreePress network

politicians and media joined together to gain the maximum propagandavalue from the disaster. It had to be Russia; it had to be Putin, they said.President Obama held a press conference to claim – even before aninvestigation – that it was pro-Russian rebels in the region who wereresponsible. His ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, did the sameat the UN Security Council – just one day after the crash!

While western media outlets rush to repeat government propaganda onthe event, there are a few things they will not report.

They will not report that the crisis in Ukraine started late last year, whenEU and US-supported protesters plotted the overthrow of the electedUkrainian president, Viktor Yanukovych. Without US-sponsored “regimechange,” it is unlikely that hundreds would have been killed in the unrestthat followed. Nor would the Malaysian Airlines crash have happened.

The media has reported that the plane must have been shot down byRussian forces or Russian-backed separatists, because the missile thatreportedly brought down the plane was Russian made. But they will notreport that the Ukrainian government also uses the exact same Russian-made weapons.

They will not report that the post-coup government in Kiev has,according to OSCE monitors, killed 250 people in the breakawayLugansk region since June, including 20 killed as government forcesbombed the city center the day after the plane crash! Most of these arecivilians and together they roughly equal the number killed in the planecrash. By contrast, Russia has killed no one in Ukraine, and theseparatists have struck largely military, not civilian, targets.

They will not report that the US has strongly backed the Ukrainiangovernment in these attacks on civilians, which a State Departmentspokeswoman called “measured and moderate.”

They will not report that neither Russia nor the separatists in easternUkraine have anything to gain but everything to lose by shooting down apassenger liner full of civilians.

They will not report that the Ukrainian government has much to gain bypinning the attack on Russia, and that the Ukrainian prime minister hasalready expressed his pleasure that Russia is being blamed for theattack.

They will not report that the missile that apparently shot down the planewas from a sophisticated surface-to-air missile system that requires agood deal of training that the separatists do not have.

They will not report that the separatists in eastern Ukraine have inflictedconsiderable losses on the Ukrainian government in the week before theplane was downed.

They will not report how similar this is to last summer’s US claim that theAssad government in Syria had used poison gas against civilians inGhouta. Assad was also gaining the upper hand in his struggle with US-backed rebels and the US claimed that the attack came from Syriangovernment positions. Then, US claims led us to the brink of another warin the Middle East. At the last minute public opposition forced Obama toback down – and we have learned since then that US claims about thegas attack were false.

Of course it is entirely possible that the Obama administration and theUS media has it right this time, and Russia or the separatists in easternUkraine either purposely or inadvertently shot down this aircraft. The realpoint is, it’s very difficult to get accurate information so everybodyengages in propaganda. At this point it would be unwise to say theRussians did it, the Ukrainian government did it, or the rebels did it. Is itso hard to simply demand a real investigation?

ABOUT ‘RON PAUL INSTITUTE’

The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity is a project of Dr. Paul’sFoundation for Rational Economics and Education (F.R.E.E.), founded inthe 1970s as an educational organization. The Institute continues andexpands Dr. Paul’s lifetime of public advocacy for a peaceful foreignpolicy and the protection of civil liberties at home.

The Institute mobilizes colleagues and collaborators of Dr. Paul’s toparticipate in a broad coalition to educate and advocate for fundamentalchanges in our foreign and domestic policy.

A prosperous America is profoundly linked to a foreign policy rooted inpeaceful relations and trade with all. With peace, comes real prosperity.

Ron Paul’s real legacy in his writing, teaching, and in politics is hissuccess bringing people of very different backgrounds and perspectivestogether under the common cause of peace, individual liberties, andprosperity. His institute energetically continues this kind of “coalition-building” in all aspects of its work. The Institute board is itself one of thebest examples of how broad a coalition can come together and work forthe same shared goals and values.

First and foremost a resource for supporters, the Institute provides timelynews and provocative analysis through its engaging website. Featuressuch as “Congress Alert” and “Neo-Con Watch” bring to life the latestthreats to our liberties at home and abroad in a capsule format. Longerfeatures and press analysis, as well as blog posts, regularly appear, givingthe Institute the character of an online magazine.

The Institute places special emphasis on education and on the nextgenerations, with a foreign policy summer school for university studentsstudying international affairs and journalism.

It will aggressively promote student writing on foreign affairs on its

website and will launch a student writing award program to recognize thebest of college journalism.

The Ron Paul Institute will provide the tools and the education to chart anew course with the understanding that only through a peaceful foreignpolicy can we hope for a prosperous tomorrow. After a decade of US war against Iraq and Afghanistan, American publicopinion is clearly turning against the wars. Barely half still support the waron Afghanistan and a clear majority now oppose the Iraq war.
