MH17 – SACRIFICED AIRLINER » COUNTERPUNCH: TELLS THE FACTS
http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/07/25/mh17-sacrificed-airliner/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=mh17-sacrificed-airliner
“Most of the Southeast Asian countries are
historically client states of the ‘West’, [read,
you-know-whose Oriental gutter] with hardly
any independent, non-corporate media.
Indonesia has been exactly that since the 1965
‘events’. Malaysia, pushing for an independent
course under Dr Mahathir’s rule, is presently
being lured by the US [you-know-who], which
is trying to establish military bases there, or to
at least gain access to existing Malaysian ones.
Suddenly, a great amount of US funding has been
unleashed, to win over Malaysian intellectuals,
some of the most shamefully subservient in the
region. Several have already began departing
for ‘conferences’, ‘cultural exchanges’ and
‘writer’s retreats’, to destinations all over
the United States, all expenses paid.”
