I don't know for sure who shot down that airplane over the war zone in former eastern Ukraine. I do know that there has not been an investigation and the pro nazi Ukrainian rump government won't agree to a cease fire that could help assure the safety of international investigators. The people who shout " the Russians did it! " have a track record of lying their asses off to produce wars. There is no doubt that the Ukrainians have the equipment and skills to shoot a Boeing 777 down at 30,000 feet in the air moving at around 600 miles per hour. I believe they also have the motive- they are not making much progress in the civil war they caused and might want to see the US get more deeply involved. This reminds me of the Lusitania incident that brought the US into the First World War. The Lusitania was a British passenger ship that was loaded with American passengers and American munitions that were bound for Britain. The Germans sank the ship and the deaths of American passengers became the "reason" for American entry into the bloodbath on Britain's side.
Eric Garner was a 43 year old African American man who might have been selling untaxed cigarettes on a sidewalk in Staten Island, NYC. New York cops are "prohibited" from choking people but Garner, an obese man who suffers with asthma was choked to death as seen on you tube by two New York cops who still have their jobs. The NYPD has a lengthy history of killing unarmed Black men, brutalizing and killing mentally ill people and brutalizing protest demonstrators.
I have said that African Americans are the Palestinians of North America pauperized marginalized and always the targets of cops and "child protectors." Now more than ever they are vanishing from neighborhoods that once "belonged" to them replaced by well off white and Asian people. Recently there was a demonstration of well off networked Chinese immigrants in a one time neighborhood where Malcolm X once lived. They were opposing a homeless shelter peopled mainly by African American women and children. Their advice to the homeless Blacks was "get a job, pay your rent."
The Israelis are murdering Palestinians, destroying their homes and forcing into exile more thousands, just as the Ukrainian "Social Nationalists" are doing to their Russian speaking compatriots. The "Social Nationalists" have fighting by their side Israeli Jewish mercenaries as well as American "contractors".
