FOR 88 PAGES, the reader gazes upon the painting of a splendorous picture, delineating sumptuous details and rarely (if ever) seen glimpses of secretive worlds, BUT when it arrives at page 57, the fourth to last paragraph, it hurls a bucket of whitewash over it.
2/5 "While the Forensic Team found no evidence that the downing of Flight PS752 was premeditated, this in no way absolves Irans of its responsibility for the actions it took - or failed to take - which led to the downing."
CAVEAT LECTOR, a Latin phrase "let the reader beware":
3/5 There is a general principle that goes, 'Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.' Eight words. Concise and blunt. In this case, they apply.
Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau et al. ('et al.' is an important inclusion), like Tom Sawyer has persuaded his gang to obfuscate
4/5 garble and ultimately, befog Canadians while he metaphorically sits by and sees that it is well done.
Over the coming days and weeks, through a series of tweets and by other means, concerted efforts will begin to strip away the many of the layers now being carefully
5/5 installed, and to denude this government of its false covering with respect to Flight #PS752.
"There are conditions of blindness so voluntary that they become complicity." Paul Bourget
The Canadian Forensic Examination and Assessment Team have presented what reads as a purportedly 'detailed' [italics] report, but one that befogs more than it illuminates.
2/5 IN THIS COMING SERIES, a light will be redirected where it is needed, and where it is not wanted.
THE TRUTH IS UGLY and this Liberal government doesn't care about uncovering, much less pursuing it.
In the end, the forensic report is more about whitewashing than analysis.
3/5 IN FACT, it is actually worse than a deliberate attempt to conceal unpalatable or incriminating facts about the downing Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752.
Not surprisingly, the report has been polished. It bears the lacquer of a subtle, emerging political rendering.
2/2 IS IT REASONABLE THAT a refusal to investigate the murder of 55 Canadian citizens aboard #PS752 by an alleged "terrorist activity" might constitute a betrayal of the said Oath? **
"Canada's eight-month forensic examination of the destruction of Flight PS752 shows that Canada does not have evidence of its own proving the catastrophe was 'premeditated',"
2/3 A NUMBER OF points immediately stand out in the @CBCNews story. However, at risk of stating the obvious, it is not possible to assess these without first reviewing the referred unclassified forensics report of the downing of Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 #PS752.
3/3 Language is as important as the information.
THAT SAID, and in closing, there is a general truth which says: "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence."
AS A FORMER @rcmpgrcpolice#RCMP (Ret'd), and risking serious understatement, it is outrageous that @CommrRCMPGRC has decided to NOT open a Canadian criminal investigation.
2/5 IT FLIES IN THE FACE of the Criminal Code of Canada with respect to "act of terrorism", the provisions of which formed the subject of a decision by Ontario Superior Court Justice Belobaba.
AS A RESULT, there exist sufficient grounds, authourity and jurisdiction to warrant
3/5 the opening of a Canadian criminal investigation.
THE INTENTIONAL SHOOTING DOWN of Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 with 55 Canadian citizens aboard (and 30 permanent residents), by any definition or understanding, constitutes a 'mass murder' event.
THERE'S A (SHAMEFUL) 'Ministerial shell game' underway.
"Without such answers,how can we ever be confident that Iran's airspace is safe for international civil aviation ... we are doing all we can to prevent another tragedy?"@OmarAlghabra
2/12
WHILE Minister of Transport Omar Alghabra addresses the UN International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) with a "symbolic gesture" for #PS752, it is done solely in the context of the Safer Skies Initiative, a Canada-established initiative protecting global civil aviation.
3/12
THAT SAID, for one of the worst mass murders of Canadian citizens in history, omitted was any mention that no Canadian criminal investigation is open.
IN FACT, RCMP Commissioner Lucki made her decision in spite of a recent Ontario court ruling
3
IN THE COMING WEEKS that answer will begin to take shape.
PLAINLY, Transport Minister ALGHABRA has not been authorized to refer to #PS752 as an «ATROCITY». He remains shackled by PMO @CanadianPM to a narrative that permits the use of "tragedy" only.
