I agree completely! Why in the world would anyone lie, fake, falsify, or cover up? No one could possibly care, or benefit from doing that. The whole idea that there is something crooked and sneaky going on is outrageous and unfounded.
If I remember correctly, there has been talk about (and I forget the term used) taking back into the Russian community the Romanovs and possibly returning what the Bolsheviks stole from them, which would include everything but the state lands and jewels. Also, this legal maneuver would make it possible for the Russians to set up a royal throne, again, which would bring in a great deal of tourist money like it does in England. And this has sparked interest from the top to the lowest black market leader.
Several international news services have reported that the remains are those of the children. Are they lying? Does anyone really believe if there weren't real evidence that such reputable sources would have relayed it? CBS, CNN, and the BBC are hardly the National Enquirer!
No, the articles and announcements by western news agencies are not lying when they are merely repeating what the Russians are tellings them. Nor are they doing their homework which is to make sure they aren't being feed "disinformation" either.
I doubt that most news broadcasting writers here in the US have any kind of historical background on Russia let alone the execution of Nicholas II and the others. And the finding of two pits with 40 fragments of bones and being told that they are the missing children of Nicholas II seems highly possible and they'd have no reason to even suspect that the remains might not be Alexei or Marie. Why would they? They wouldn't. So, the story to the uneducated news person is closed. Plus, it's a fact: They would hardly care about the matching of DNA/ mtDNA.... why? Details are boring and most people don't know enough to bother about this part of the story.
Meanwhile, some of us who know the story and know about Dr. Gill and Dr. Maples, etc. etc. etc., are unsure of what's actually happening.
According to some of the articles, the Orthodox Church has it's own doubts and they know everything about the characters of the Bolsheviks who later became known as the communists, and right up to the present day politicians [elected or and the unelected]. Perhaps this is what JK was meaning to show in the last two articles he's asks us to read.
The only reason this is taking so long and being tested in so many places is to, ironically, try to avoid the very thing that's happening here- over thinking questioning and conspiracy theories. They want their work to be so conclusive that this type of speculation will stop once and for all. Unfortunately in his excitement, the Russian official announced it to the press before the scientists were ready with their peer reviewed results, leading to the very type of talk they had hoped to prevent. That is all there is to it. No one is plotting anything, no one cares a thing about any of the claimants anymore and no one is hiding any secrets. Why in the world would anyone do that? Actually, finding out a Romanov had survived would be a lot more exciting than saying they didn't if they did. That would be a story for the ages, and make Russia famous! If they had been real it would be a much bigger story so they would never hide that. But sadly in reality though, there were no survivors, and we just need to account for all these bodies out of respect for the victims.
Yes, it's quite true, the scientists are having to prove the fragments are not just Romanov, they need to prove they did find DNA and the that the mtDNA matches Alexandra AND that the male was hemophiliac AND that the female bones weren't planted and merely extra bones taken from the mass grave and placed into the pit later in order to end the tale that GD Anastasia escaped.
If it was impossible for survivors, then there never would have been a trial in Germany in which a woman, known as Anna Anderson, could have tried to prove she was GD Anastasia. Although I don't believe AA as GD Anastasia, I can not just sweep the fact that the German court gave AA permission to go back into court and bring about a new trial to prove she was GD Anastasia.
This means to me that the German court believed it was possible for someone, one being GD Anastasia, to have survived the bullets of the Bolsheviks on the night of 17 July 1918 in the Ipatiev House in Ekaterinburg.
It is easy for many of you reading this to think it impossible for anyone to have escaped but the Germans understood the character of those who claimed to have killed all eleven. And, the German court, nor I, have swallowed hook, line and sinker what Yurovsky and the others have testified as being the truth.
I have never doubted that Lenin sent his old pal Yurovsky to Ekaterinburg with one sole purpose and that was to finally get his revenge which was accomplished when Nicholas II was executed. The other deaths was just icing on his cake presented to Lenin and his followers.
Lenin wasn't alone. Stalin on down to Kudrin sought revenge.
The Bolsheviki/communists didn't stop start nor stop with the execution of Nicholas II. No one knows how many humans were slaughtered or starved to death all because of this terrible need of revenge. It's estimated that 20 million died from the results of Lenin's and Stalin's direct or indirect orders. They had so much anger and hatred they even killed chickens if they had been in the coup owned by a "kulack"....
To reveal this madness to the masses that their "beloved" leaders (Lenin, Stalin and others) constructed the foundation of their new Russian world on the bodies of millions of innocent people isn't something even the modern politician care to do.... The Bolshvik/communist holocaust would over shadow the holocausts of all the countries, including the Nazi horror, in everyone's history books forever.
Now, I ask you, how can you tell me there isn't anything political about the deaths of the Romanovs, 20 million other Russians, and all those missing bodies of not just two missing children but the thousands and thousands of other innoscent victims not yet found in other mass graves?
