This is another sign of van der Pijl's degradation, 5 articles written *exclusively* for Global Research. They are all oafish attempts to blame Kyiv for the downing of flight MH17 accompanied by invitations to read his book "Flight MH17, Ukraine and the New Cold War. Prism of Disaster" You can get a flavor from one of them at https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-downing-of-malaysian-airlines-flight-mh17-and-the-new-cold-war-with-russia/5638505:
"Recent events, such as the alleged gas incident in Douma (Syria), the assault of father and daughter Skripal in Salisbury, as well as the accusations of systematic doping of Russian athletes, confirm one of the book’s basic conclusions: Moscow is being accused of misdeeds of all kinds and subjected to sanctions before any serious investigation has occurred to establish its culpability."
This is the sort of thing you'd expect to see on Global Research but why would a highly respected Marxist intellectual stoop that low unless Marxism has given way to conspiracism? I guess I know the answer. This stuff is highly seductive. As my friends in LA used to tell me, if I moved out there I could leave my brain behind.
