There is only one party that stood to gain in this situation, and that party is Kiev government. The speed with which pronouncements came from Kiev showed massive preparation for the event.
No sane person has even an iota of doubt about what is happening. People can believe what they want to believe but truth ultimately prevails.
It is a fact that Russia did not shoot down MH17. Who shot it down is an interesting question.
Whether Russia supplied Buk system to rebels or not is besides the point. Russia has no interest in shooting down a civilian plane.
The West is hell-bent on starting a new war. The reasons are not difficult to understand.

They didn't release the ATC data because it didn't happen. There is nothing showing in the publicly available data that the aircraft changed heading, except to turn to the next waypoint, or altitude at any point after it crossed into Ukrainian controlled airspace.

So it's wild speculation to come up with any theory but the US being involved, but it's not to say its their fault. Nice logic.
You might be right that they did not descend, but I have read news accounts quoting the airline stating the opposite.
