Ron Paul: What the Media Wont
Report About Malaysian Airlines
Flight MH17! [similar to the
chemical conspiracy against Syria]

politicians and media joined together to gain the maximum propaganda
value 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 an
investigation that it was pro-Russian rebels in the region who were
responsible. His ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, did the same
at the UN Security Council just one day after the crash!
While western media outlets rush to repeat government propaganda on
the event, there are a few things they will not report.
They will not report that the crisis in Ukraine started late last year, when
EU and US-supported protesters plotted the overthrow of the elected
Ukrainian president, Viktor Yanukovych. Without US-sponsored regime
change, it is unlikely that hundreds would have been killed in the unrest
that followed. Nor would the Malaysian Airlines crash have happened.
The media has reported that the plane must have been shot down by
Russian forces or Russian-backed separatists, because the missile that
reportedly brought down the plane was Russian made. But they will not
report 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 breakaway
Lugansk region since June, including 20 killed as government forces
bombed the city center the day after the plane crash! Most of these are
civilians and together they roughly equal the number killed in the plane
crash. By contrast, Russia has killed no one in Ukraine, and the
separatists have struck largely military, not civilian, targets.
They will not report that the US has strongly backed the Ukrainian
government in these attacks on civilians, which a State Department
spokeswoman called measured and moderate.
They will not report that neither Russia nor the separatists in eastern
Ukraine have anything to gain but everything to lose by shooting down a
passenger liner full of civilians.
They will not report that the Ukrainian government has much to gain by
pinning the attack on Russia, and that the Ukrainian prime minister has
already expressed his pleasure that Russia is being blamed for the
attack.
They will not report that the missile that apparently shot down the plane
was from a sophisticated surface-to-air missile system that requires a
good deal of training that the separatists do not have.
They will not report that the separatists in eastern Ukraine have inicted
considerable losses on the Ukrainian government in the week before the
plane was downed.
They will not report how similar this is to last summers US claim that the
Assad government in Syria had used poison gas against civilians in
Ghouta. Assad was also gaining the upper hand in his struggle with US-
backed rebels and the US claimed that the attack came from Syrian
government positions. Then, US claims led us to the brink of another war
in the Middle East. At the last minute public opposition forced Obama to
back down and we have learned since then that US claims about the
gas attack were false.
Of course it is entirely possible that the Obama administration and the
US media has it right this time, and Russia or the separatists in eastern
Ukraine either purposely or inadvertently shot down this aircraft. The real
point is, its very di!cult to get accurate information so everybody
engages in propaganda. At this point it would be unwise to say the
Russians did it, the Ukrainian government did it, or the rebels did it. Is it
so hard to simply demand a real investigation?

ABOUT RON PAUL INSTITUTE
The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity is a project of Dr. Pauls
Foundation for Rational Economics and Education (F.R.E.E.), founded in
the 1970s as an educational organization. The Institute continues and
expands Dr. Pauls lifetime of public advocacy for a peaceful foreign
policy and the protection of civil liberties at home.
The Institute mobilizes colleagues and collaborators of Dr. Pauls to
participate in a broad coalition to educate and advocate for fundamental
changes in our foreign and domestic policy.
A prosperous America is profoundly linked to a foreign policy rooted in
peaceful relations and trade with all. With peace, comes real prosperity.
Ron Pauls real legacy in his writing, teaching, and in politics is his
success bringing people of very di!erent backgrounds and perspectives
together under the common cause of peace, individual liberties, and
prosperity. His institute energetically continues this kind of coalition-
building in all aspects of its work. The Institute board is itself one of the
best examples of how broad a coalition can come together and work for
the same shared goals and values.
First and foremost a resource for supporters, the Institute provides timely
news and provocative analysis through its engaging website. Features
such as Congress Alert and Neo-Con Watch bring to life the latest
threats to our liberties at home and abroad in a capsule format. Longer
features and press analysis, as well as blog posts, regularly appear, giving
the Institute the character of an online magazine.
The Institute places special emphasis on education and on the next
generations, with a foreign policy summer school for university students
studying international a!airs and journalism.
It will aggressively promote student writing on foreign a!airs on its
website and will launch a student writing award program to recognize the
best of college journalism.
The Ron Paul Institute will provide the tools and the education to chart a
new course with the understanding that only through a peaceful foreign
policy can we hope for a prosperous tomorrow.
After a decade of US war against Iraq and Afghanistan, American public
opinion is clearly turning against the wars. Barely half still support the war
on Afghanistan and a clear majority now oppose the Iraq war.
