Nalyvaichenko is the man who in August 2014 lied about rebels in Eastern Ukraine having tried to shoot down a Russian passenger aircraft in order to provide Russia with a casus belli. The SBU removed that lie from its own website, but it has been archived and there is also a video from the press conference.
It would also be good to understand that the JIT does not want to be associated with Vovk, the former MH17 principal investigator of the SBU. He said that Jews are not Ukrainians and that they must be destroyed. He also said that JIT researcher Wilbert Paulissen is a friend of his and that he stayed at his house. His view of the disaster is also different. According to Vovk, MH17 may have been shot down with a BUK which the rebels had captured from the Ukrainian army.
With the new SBU head, Vasyl Hrytsak, the Dutch authorities won't feel comfortable either. That is the person responsible for the murder of a Russian journalist, which was staged with pig's blood, and yet Hrytsak was still present at the last press conference of the JIT. You can see him sitting to the right of leader of the investigation, Fred Westerbeke.
I think the Netherlands made a big mistake when they became so close with Ukraine. People have underestimated how corrupt and criminal the current regime is. It now even appears that Kiev has spied on the Dutch MH17 mission.
The British investigative collective Bellingcat plays a remarkable role in the MH17 research. Many of their findings have been taken aboard by the JIT. They have severely attacked you several times. You would be a "useful idiot" of Putin; you criticize only Western research but not Kremlin propaganda.
You forget the word truther. The word is mainly linked to people who question the official version of 9/11.
Eliot Higgins, founder of Bellingcat, again recently called me a truther and idiot. That was because of my correspondence with the Russian representative at the United Nations. I asked Polyanskiy why Russia does not provide satellite data and other data to support its claim that Ukraine had BUK installations in the vicinity of the crash site.
Polyanskiy replied that Russia has done this and will add data, but that the JIT ignores it. Higgins then completely twists Polyanskiy's words. Higgins turns"delivering satellite data" into "Russia admits it submits MH17 Truther websites and blogs about #MH17 to the JIT as evidence." And then he adds: "Russia admits to supplying conspiracy blogs to the JIT as #MH17 evidence. If they have to resort to that then they really are totally fucked."
When I challenge Higgins on this, he tweets: "I don't deal with idiots like Max who still think MH17 was a false flag." Here I still get off easy. "Suck my balls" is how Higgins addresses Russian diplomats. Shortly after the publication of an article about this vulgarity, Higgins quietly removes three tweets, but fortunately they were archived online.
Obviously, the rough language of Eliot Higgins cannot be justified. However, it was a reaction to an allegation from Polyanskiy. He said that Bellingcat and JIT based their claims on counterfeits. When Higgins asked him to prove this, he did not respond. That is not good, is it?
Not good indeed.
You have followed the route which, according to the JIT and Bellingcat, the Volvo low-loader with the BUK installation would have taken. You came to a place near a bridge, and you asked yourself if the low-loader would fit underneath. Does that or any other findings from you, demonstrate that the route indicated by the JIT can not be correct?
When I drove route H21 from Donetsk to Torez in 2015, I had serious doubts whether the combination Volvo trailer with Buk-Telar could fit under a certain bridge.
Higgins reacted almost immediately. Again, the slur truther was made with the reprimand that the Buk could have driven via 'the really obvious turn' if it wouldn't have fit under the bridge.
After the tweet from Higgins, I went back to the spot and made a video that shows that the 'really obvious exit' cannot be used at all because of concrete blocks which have been there for years.
The issue here is not whether the Buk fits under the bridge or not, because the Telar can be driven from the low-loader before the bridge, and after having passed the bridge drive back on the low-loader again. The issue here is that Higgins from his sofa claims something with absolute certainty, and when a refutation of his claim is made by someone who does research on the location, he does not withdraw his claim.
