Another anniversary of the shooting down of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 by Russia. The first reports of the disaster appeared on... Russian TV, which at the time still believed it was a Ukrainian transport plane and boasted about it loudly, correctly stating the aircraft was shot down by Russian air defense systems. But half an hour later, when the first patrols arrived at the scene and it turned out that they had shot down a civilian aircraft, the earlier reports began to be frantically deleted. Half an hour earlier, the ‘Donetsk self-defence forces’ had advanced air defense systems, now they no longer had them and never had. An unprecedented falsification of events began. Moscow had not yet decided what narrative to push officially, so they pushed a dozen of them, including an Ukrainian Su-24, Mig-29, a "staged flight with dead bodies", an Ukrainian "Buk" launcher and many others, all inconsistent, some physically impossible (Su-24) and all mutually exclusive. Everyone Russia had was thrown onto the disinformation front line – below is material from Semion Piegov and Graham Phillips with men pretending to be locals, who are making up stories that they "saw a Ukrainian fighter jet". Experts quickly pointed out the inconsistency of this particular version – the men could not physically see a fighter jet flying at an altitude of 11 km, let alone identify its model or affiliation. But this didn't matter - Russian technique of "firehose of lies" is not intended at targeting one single version, but at flooding the public discourse with so many conflicting narratives that the audience gets confused and unable to rationally analyse any version, even if it's supported by solid evidence. And, based on all available evidence, there's just was just perpetrator of this war crime - Russian Federation.
