Laurie Oakes – Just Another Australian Presstitute

Our esteemed Laurie Oakes looking very gravitas.

Laurie Oakes writing in his latest article “Now Prime Minister Abbott must act over Vladimir Putin” for the Herald Sun October 17, 2014 – has proved he is just a patsy of the mainstream propaganda media. He has long been in the top list of journo’s in this country, but this article reveals his true colours. Firstly he should have done his home work and just a little bit of investigating before trying to inflame tensions with a country as powerful. And like the rest of Abbott’s team, maybe take into account that there is a presumption of innocence in a sane world.

The Power Index writes: “No journalist in Canberra carries as much gravitas as Laurie Oakes“, so Laurie  advocates in his article:

“But giving Putin the cold shoulder will not be enough. Having promised confrontation, Abbott needs to deliver it. He needs to be seen to be conveying to Putin in no uncertain terms the fury Australians feel about what happened to the plane”.

It is embarrassing that one of our top journalists is actually blatantly accusing Putin for murdering 38 Australians before the outcome of an investigation and based on the facts – that are easily researched. But Mr Oakes is just parroting the NATO/Washington/Canberra script. It is actually shameful. I was writing to Julie Bishops office from the first week – but after several weeks and more of my emails they referred my query to the Federal Police (to scare me off???).  Yet they never once referred to the facts that I put forward.

And it is not me putting these facts forward. I was merely informing DFAT of what the (OSCE) International Monitor, Michael Bociurkiw, was reporting. He was one of two monitors on the ground and had became intimate with the wreckage over a number of days. He reported that several pieces of fuselage had ‘machine-gun fire’ type bullet holes. His observation, along with eye witnesses and Russian radar does not point to Russia.

The Dutch preliminary report in early September said: MH17 was brought down by “a large number of high energy objects that penetrated the aircraft from the outside”. And then there’s the report of the “oxygen mask” that accidentally slipped out on television: Dutch Foreign Minister Frans Timmermans accidentally revealed that someone had “donned an oxygen mask before the fatal crash, suggesting some on board might have been aware of their impending deaths”. Thus, surely it would be prudent to wait for the outcome of a detailed investigation. Lets pray the evidence is not infected by secret deals and that the investigation is produced without fear or favour.

I am no fan of much of Russia’s policies – but the mainstream media have accused Russia for trying to obstruct the investigation, when Russia was the only country to quickly disclose its Intel and radar data. Russian radar had spotted a second aircraft in the ill-fated airliner’s vicinity just before the crash and that it was likely a Ukrainian fighter jet.

Yet Laurie, you say:

“The charge is based on hard intelligence information“.

Maybe you have information we don’t – or is this just more of your gravitas BS. Your “hard intelligence” I think refers to “orders” from the Global Corporate Kleptocrats trying to muscle in on Ukraine’s resources. 

Laurie – below I have provided a 101 on MH17 to get you up to speed with some of the facts.

Lets start with Michael Bociurkiw (on Canadian TV)

Team Australia vs Team Russia

But we do live in an insane world Laurie – that’s why you can get away with the BS you reported.

This is a murder investigation of 37 Australians so I hope the investigation will be done without fear or favour. But I am skeptical. As I predicted in an earlier posts – that blame will probably quietly switch from Russia to a Ukrainian jet fighter flown by rogue pilot from another EU country who was on medication. He he got mixed up and thought he was shooting down a Russian (or Putin’s) plane. End of story.
