The Propaganda On The MH-17 Disaster By The Dutch Anti-Russia Lobby In The Run-up To The March 9th Trial

In the run-up to the MH17 trial, the propaganda machine is running at full speed. On 9 March, 2020, the trial will be held in the judicial complex in Schiphol Airport. The four suspects, according to the JIT (Joint Investigation Team), should appear and be tried. The problem for the Dutch court is that the four suspects will most likely not appear, making this a show process for the relatives of the victims of the MH-17 disaster.

According to an anti-Russian propaganda site called; “Raam op Rusland
The Netherlands is doing well in Russia. A newly held survey:

Despite the chill in bilateral relations, the Netherlands is fairly well-regarded by Russian citizens. According to an opinion poll conducted by the Moscow independent opinion polling agency Levada-Center, which turns out not to be an independent institute as it claims to be, as I will explain later on in the article, on behalf of Leiden University and “Raam op Rusland”. It is the first time that such an opinion poll has been held in Russia about the Netherlands and the outcome is spectacular. But the Dutch government must do more to adjust some stubborn ideas – that we, The Netherlands, are a rather insignificant country, and a sanctuary for drugs and prostitution.” Which is unfortunately for the Netherlands, reality. The Netherlands is ironically called the “narco-state” of Europe, by most other EU countries.
Double-checking the study's findings about MH-17
It becomes even more interesting when the MH17 is mentioned: “Because the results of the first survey, according to “Raam op Rusland”, seemed too paradoxical, Levada repeated the questions about this disaster as an additional check in a second study. Twice the same answers rolled out globally. What did they find out? Approximately 60 percent follow the official line from Moscow: the plane was brought down by the Ukrainian armed forces or volunteer battalions. Not surprising. What the rest thinks is that: more than a quarter misses the question. Levada experiences that more often. In the case of possible covert interventions outside Russia, such as the poisoning of the Russian ex-spy Skripal in 2018, "difficult to say" or "anyone could have done it" is a commonly used option to keep everything open”.
Then they published on February 14 the most absurd article, which again is conducted by the Levada-Center in cooperation with “Raam op Rusland” stating:
Russian citizens are open to the financial consequences of the MH17 disaster if it turns out that Russia has indeed been involved in the shooting of the Malaysian passenger plane. If research by the international community shows that Russia is (partly) responsible for the MH17 disaster, then according to a large majority of Russians, Russia must also pay smart money to the bereaved.
Research by the Levada-Center shows that 55 percent of the Russian population thinks that the Russian government should compensate the families of the victims if it is established that the "Russian side is guilty" of the crash of the Malaysian passenger plane on July 17, 2014.”
What is this so-called Levada-Center? According to their own website, they write the following;
Levada Analytical Center (Levada-Center)
It is a Russian non-governmental research organization. The Center regularly conducts sociological research. The Levada-Center is one of the largest Russian centers in the field.
Staff of the center brings together experts in the field of sociology, political science, economics, psychology, market research, public opinion polls and organization of data processing. The team is guided by the principles of WAPOR and ESOMAR. Senior staff has been trained in the USA and Western Europe. The research team has been conducting regular public opinion polls across the country since 1988.
Polling results and expertise of the Center’s staff is broadly covered by national and international media such as Kommersant, Vedomosti, Gazeta.ru, the Economist, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Reuters, BBC Radio, and others. 
So this center was established before the fall of the Soviet Union and sponsored by liberal Western countries, strange to say the least.
Even King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands is now part of the propaganda although he has no political power whatsoever. I assume the Dutch government and the JIT are getting nervous:
King Willem-Alexander spoke last week with the members of the Joint Investigating Team, about the downing of flight MH-17. This happened in the run-up to the court case that starts on March 9. The king has listened to personal experiences from the employees of the Public Prosecution Service, the Ministry of Justice and Security and the Dutch police. Amongs other things, the complexity of such an investigation was highlighted and how the relatives are guided in the process.
Four suspects, including three Russians, are being prosecuted for their involvement. These are the Russian Igor Girkin (48), his right-hand Sergey Dubinsky (56) and his assistant Oleg Pulatov (52), and the Ukrainian Leonid Kharchenko (47). Among other things, they have had a share in the transport of the rocket.
The charge against them is to cause MH-17 to be shot down, resulting in the death of all occupants, and the murder of the 298 victims. The process, which takes place at the judicial complex at Schiphol, can be followed via a stream.

In December 2019, the Russian Foreign Ministry's spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stressed that the Netherlands was seeking to hide its own faults in the MH17 plane crash probe by making claims against Moscow. The Russian Prosecutor General's Office has stated that the Netherlands is shunning a full-fledged investigation into the MH-17 crash. The Office said that it had asked the Netherlands to share MH17 files in view of the fact that three Russian nationals are suspects in the MH17 case, but that the request was refused.
The above-mentioned facts argue that it will be indeed a show process, where the accused are already proven guilty by the Western media and politicians.
