Damning evidence of looting at MH17 crash site grows: Relatives claim victims' phones are answered..

A series of disturbing new allegations emerged today that added further weight to claims pro-Russian rebels looted the MH17 crash scene to sabotage the investigation and cash in on the disaster.

In the first, desperate relatives revealed how they had called the mobile phones of their loves ones - only for them to be answered by strangers with 'eastern European-sounding voices'....

New evidence has also emerged that the rebels allegedly planned to sabotage the investigation by contaminating the site with parts from other planes....

Meanwhile, an alleged decree by rebel commander Igor Strelkov appears to admit that the bodies of dead passengers were looted by pro-Russian rebels.

Rather than ordering any looted possessions to be returned to the families, it demands they are taken to Strelkov's headquarters so they can be used to fund the insurgency campaign he is conducting.

The text of order number 432, pictured here, says in Russian:

'To all detachments of Donetsk People's Republic army, to soldiers and commanders who from 18 to 21 July 2014 in the area where the Boeing 777 of Malaysian airlines crashed and who possess personal belongings related to this airplane.

'Before 8 pm on 23 July 2014 you must give these things away to the headquarters of DPR army. Valuable items (watches, earrings, lockets and other jewellery) must be sent to the DPR Defence Fund.'

It is signed by rebel army commander Colonel Igor Strelkov, and carries what appears to be an official stamp....

Now they have cemented their image as thugs.

The text of order number 432, pictured here, says in Russian: 'To all detachments of Donetsk People's Republic army, to soldiers and commanders who from 18 to 21 July 2014 in the area where the Boeing 777 of Malaysian airlines crashed and who possess personal belongings related to this airplane.

'Before 8 pm on 23 July 2014 you must give these things away to the headquarters of DPR army. Valuable items (watches, earrings, lockets and other jewellery) must be sent to the DPR Defence Fund.'

It is signed by rebel army commander Colonel Igor Strelkov, and carries what appears to be an official stamp.

The alleged order has been posted on social media websites in Ukraine and Russia.

Best Ukrainian propaganda (if that's what it is) to date!

Speaking of relativism, did anyone in New Orleans or LA issue the sort of directive I posted above?
