MH17: Dastardly CIA 'plot' to shoot down plane 'revealed' in Russia

[Blue_Tires]

Los Angeles: A Russian newspaper posted an audiotape on its website that purports to reveal two US spies plotting to bring down Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over Ukraine last year.

One hitch: The conversations are so stilted and oddly worded that they have been widely dismissed by native English speakers as obviously fake.

The two men alleged to be Americans, identified by Komsomolskaya Pravda in its Wednesday posting as David Hamilton and David Lloyd Stern, speak with accents and in words and phrases that resemble Russian manners of speaking that have been translated into English and read from a script.

In the series of six recordings allegedly intercepted between the two men said to be CIA agents, they refer to orders from their leaders to implicate pro-Russia separatists in the plane's destruction – a scenario Russia's state-run media have put forward since the July 17, 2014, crash of MH17 in which all 298 on board were killed.

Nothing to see here...Just Moscow creating a laughably fake recording and hoping someone out there is fuckin' stupid enough to believe it...

1. Shades of old Soviet style propaganda methods.

The sad thing is that there is a minority here on DU who will accept this as the gospel truth.

2. You don't understand!!!!

The really awful accents and syntax, and the really stilted reading is all a way to disguise the fact that they really ARE CIA Agents! Open your eyes decadent American Imperialists!
