The original BBC Video Report was published by BBC Russian Service on July 23, 2014. Why did BBC delete this report by Olga Ivshina? Is it because the BBC team was unable to find any evidence that a rocket was launched in the area that the Ukrainian Security Service (“SBU”) alleges to be the place from which the Novorossiya Militia launched a “BUK” missile?
Or is it because every eyewitness interviewed by the BBC team specifically indicated the presence of Ukrainian military aircraft right beside the Malaysian Airlines Boeing MH17 at the time that it was shot down?
Or is it because of eyewitness accounts (like the one posted following the transcript of the BBC report) confirming that the Ukrainian air force regularly used civilian aircraft flying over Novorossiya as human shields to protect its military aircraft conducting strikes against civilian population from the Militia’s anti-aircraft units?
I reserve the final judgment to the readers of this blog. This entry is broken down into:
- Introductory paragraphs to the BBC video report;
- English-language transcript of the BBC video report [CENSORED BY BBC AND WITHDRAWN, BUT STILL AROUND IN SPANISH, AS SEEN BELOW] and,
- A video interview with Elena, a Militia fighter, recorded in Slavyansk on or about June 18, 2014, or one month prior to the MH17 catastrophe, wherein she states that, even then, the Ukrainian military aircraft would customarily hide behind civilian aircraft to bomb civilian targets on the ground.
In the last part of this entry Elena predicts that the Ukrainian military will stage the horrible catastrophe like the MH17 crash – she makes this prediction one whole month prior to the disaster.
Below: censored video by the BBC because it contradicts the official Anglo-American version of events.

Transcript of the BBC Video Report
DPR Representative: Here it is.
Olga Ivshina, BBC: The black boxes from the crashed Boeing are finally being transferred into the hands of the experts. However, how much can they tell us?
The recorders logged the coordinates and the heading of the aircraft at the time of the incident and may have recorded the sound of the explosion. However, they will not tell us what exactly caused the explosion.
The inhabitants of the nearby villages are certain that they saw military aircraft in the sky shortly prior to the catastrophe. According to them, it actually was the jet fighters that brought down the Boeing.
Eyewitness #1: There were two explosions in the air. And this is how it broke apart. And [the fragments] blew apart like this, to the sides. And when …
Eyewitness #2: … And there was another aircraft, a military one, beside it. Everybody saw it.
Eyewitness #1: Yes, yes. It was flying under it, because it could be seen. It was proceeding underneath, below the civilian one.
Eyewitness #3: There were sounds of an explosion. But they were in the sky. They came from the sky. Then this plane made a sharp turn-around like this. It changed its trajectory and headed in that direction [indicating the direction with her hands].
Olga Ivshina, BBC: The Ukrainian government rejects this version of events. They believe that the Boeing was shot down using a missile from a “BUK” complex that came in from the direction of Russia.
Vitaliy Naida, Department of Counterintelligence of SBU [Ukrainian Security Service]: This was a BUK M1 system from which the aircraft was shot down. It came to Ukraine early in the morning on the 17th of July. It was delivered by a tow truck to the city of Donetsk. After that, it was redeployed from Donetsk, as part of a column of military equipment, to the area of the city of Torez, to the area of Snezhnoye, to the area of Pervomaisk.
Olga Ivshina, BBC: The Ukrainian Security Service has published photographs and a video, which, in its opinion, prove that the Boeing was shot down with a “BUK” missile. We attempted to verify these photographs and information at the location.
One of the photographs showed a landscape not far from the city of Torez, on which smoke could be seen coming from the presumed location of the missile’s launch. We attempted to find this location, and it appears that we were successful.
We are now on the outskirts of the city of Torez. Behind me, approximately five kilometres away, is the city of Snezhnoye. And the landscape here matches the landscape that we can see on the photograph published by the Ukrainian Security Service.
To find the place from which the smoke was allegedly coming from, we adopted as markers these three poplars and the group of trees. Presumably, this is the place that can be seen on the photograph published by the SBU. And here are our markers: the three solitary poplars and the small group of trees in the distance.
The smoke that can be seen on the photograph came from somewhere over there [pointing behind her], behind my back. The SBU believes that this is a trace coming from the launch of a “BUK” missile.
However, it must be noted that there are here, approximately in the same place, the Saur-Mogila memorial, near which the fighting continues almost unabated, and a coalmine. It turns out that the smoke with the same degree of probability could have been coming from any of these locations.
Having circled around the nearby fields, we were unable to find any traces of a missile launch. Nor did the local inhabitants that we encountered see any “BUK” either.
At the ruins of an apartment building in the city of Snezhnoye, the topic of the jet fighters that may have been escorting civilian aircraft comes up again. A bomb dropped from above took away the lives of eleven civilians here.
Sergey Godovanets, Commander of the Militia of the city of Snezhnoye: They use these civilian aircraft to hide behind them. It is only now that they stopped flying over us – but, usually, civilian aircraft would always fly above us. And they hide [behind them]. [The experience in] Slavyansk had demonstrated that they would fly out from behind a civilian aircraft, bomb away, and then hide, once again, behind the civilian aircraft and fly away.
Olga Ivshina, BBC: The commander of the local militia emphasizes that they have no weaponry capable of shooting down a jet fighter [flying] at a significant height. However, he says that if such weaponry were to appear, they would have tried to.
Sergey Godovanets: If we know that it is not a civilian aircraft, but a military one, then – yes.
Olga Ivshina, BBC: So, could the Boeing have been shot down by the militias that had mistaken it for a military aircraft? There is as yet no unequivocal confirmation of either this or any other version [of what took place]. The international experts are just beginning their work with the information obtained from the crashed airliner. It now appears that it is difficult to overstate the importance of this investigation.

Ukrainian Emergency workers carry a victim’s body in a bag at the crash site of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 near the village of Hrabove, Donetsk region, eastern Ukraine.
More blatant anti-Russian propaganda. The West was prepared to milk this false flag for all the mileage it could—and did. The coverage was “saturation” for several weeks.
The Anglo-American press had a field day demonizing Russia, Putin and the rebels. Guilty as charged, without a trial. The evidence is still being “massaged” to conform to the propaganda line.
The Dutch have loyally and shamefully participated in the propaganda lynching of Russia. This image sentimentalizes the tragedy.
An Emergencies Ministry member walks at the site of a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 plane crash.
More unfounded accusations.
Experts disputing the BUK missile theory favored by the West have argued that the pilots’ cockpit was riddled with 30mm cannon holes, the weapon used in Ukrainian jet fighters.
BUK mobile battery. Another example of this insidious suggestion of blame. BUKs are widely used in many countries, starting with Ukraine’s military itself.
A victim’s remains. One person who will never know who actually did it.
Brainwashed and prostituted cartoonists have naturally done their part to keep the demonization slanders alive…
Anti-Russian propaganda has been blatant throughout the MH17 incident, a classical false flag. But the unkindest cut has been the collaboration of many nominal leftists.
The Russian TV account included radar signatures of a Mig 29 flying close to the doomed liner.
Russia tracked the whole incident on her air radar networks, but her evidence has been rejected by the West.
Dead passenger still attached to seat.
MH17 engine. All the credible evidence points to Kiev and Washington as the perpetrators, albeit protected by a huge propaganda shield. False flag, anyone?
German investigators are claiming that the forward part of MH17 is riddled with bullet holes, apparently 30mm, which is the main armament of the Ukrainian jets which were tailing the airliner. [freerepublic.com]
John McCain was naturally on tap to pronounce Putin culpable. The fact that the mainstream media treat this vermin with respect and offer him a constant platform for his lies and warmongering defines the role of the corporate media better than anything else.
The Western media had field day blaming Putin for the shooting down of MH17. The fact that all (admitted) evidence points to Ukrainian planes and not a BUK battery has been quietly buried and no official report has come forth so far.
Blaming him for the MH17 shutdown, traced to Kiev and possibly CIA false flag.
The UK’s Guardian joins the lynching mob. So much for liberals. But then again we know that liberals can never be counted for truth when it matters.
