Too many propagandas and conspiracy theories

Have you been noticing that we have been bombarded with an unreasonable high number of propagandas and conspiracy theories regarding the recent crash involving the Malaysian Airlines flight MH 17?

A few months ago we had another case of a Malaysian Airlines plane with almost the same size and capacity that went missing mysteriously (MH 370). I remember reading the many conflicting news reports about that incident. People mostly had no clue as to what actually happened to the airplane. When the investigation didn’t find/reveal anything insightful (as to the location of the crash, who and for what/motive), then all of the speculations started to sound believable. We couldn’t really verify or even reject any of the claims because we didn’t have access to the crash site, the black box or the victims.

This time everything is very different. We actually have a crash site, very good tracking capabilities (via satellites and flight trackers), ground reports of the incident, the black boxes, and even victim’s bodies. So, it shouldn’t really be that hard to piece everything together..right?

Wrong!

We are currently living in the age of technology where massive propaganda and conspiracy theories can be easily disseminated rapidly. If they don’t like the way you are thinking about something then they will try to change it, logically if they can, emotionally if they must.

I’m completely against these sort of mind manipulations (propagandas, conspiracies, false advertising, social experiments, what have you) because I think they are not entirely ethical.

Moving on.

I was trying to find a list of conspiracy theories about the crash, who said what, when and possibly a refutation of them. It seems no one has done a good job on it yet. I hope someone can do this in the future.

I saw an article today that analyzed one or two of the talking points (very narrowly in the context of what the American public might be interested to read). It is about one of the alleged comments made by the rebel leader after shooting down what he thought was a Ukrainian military plane which was later identified as flight MH 17. The site provided an evidence to support the claim; a screenshot of a post by the rebel leader which was deleted soon after.)

I think we should have a checklist of all the claims made; by who and when; and see if any of it can be supported with the existing facts.

I almost believe that we would be able to uncover all the facts truthfully if the investigators were given unlimited access to the site provided that the crucial evidences are not lost.
