But not us
An Australian MSM outlet known as news.com.au has published a video and transcript with the breathless title of "Full transcript: Russian-backed rebels ransack the wreckage of MH17 in shocking 17-minute video". The sub-title is :"For 17 minutes, they ransacked the luggage of innocent people who had just been shot out of the sky. The full transcript of the never-before-seen footage reveals what they were looking for." We are helped to the correct feelings with comments like: "No respect ... Rebels taking what they want " "Disgusting ... A rebel going through the bag of a victim".
So, this news outlet thought it had a scoop that would further cement the Accepted Western Story about MH17 and put more all-round blame on the rebels in eastern Ukraine.
But instead....
The problem with living in the bubble is that you don't know that you are inside the bubble. You do not understand that 1) there is no evidence worthy of the name that the rebels or the Russians shot MH17 down and 2) that your job is to manufacture more fake evidence.
What being in the bubble really means is that you are so far inside the bubble, that everybody you talk to is in the bubble with you, that everything you read or see is selected for the bubble-view. In the end, the bubble-view becomes the only view and you come to believe that there's no one outside the bubble except conspiracy theorists and Putin trolls. The walls of the bubble are thick and impenetrable. So you do not know what a "Sukhoi" is because you've never seen the evidence that a Ukrainian Sukhoi-27 shot MH-17 down.
So you have no idea when you rush to publish another smear job that what you have actually done is add another piece of evidence to the Sukhoi shoot down theory.
Here is some of the evidence (there is more) that MH17 was shot down by a Ukrainian fighter plane:
The suppressed (but not suppressed enough) BBC report of eyewitnesses.
And, thank you news.com.au, now there is your evidence.
Read these excerpts from the transcript. These people are not looting; they are trying to figure out which bits are from MH-17 and which from the Sukhoi fighter they shot down. They are going through the wreckage trying to understand what they have here.
Here are the excerpts that the inhabitants of Bubble-land didn't understand:
They say the Sukhoi (Fighter) brought down the civilian plane and ours brought down the fighter.
Background: But where is the Sukhoi?
There it is … it’s the passenger plane.
Background: [Undistinguished]. Where is the Sukhoi then?
Background: It’s confusing. No idea where the Sukhoi is, it’s burning here and there and debris everywhere
Background: Who’s opened a corridor for them to fly over here?
Cmdr: Hello, yes. They saw a pilot crawling at Rassipnaya. A pilot was seen crawling.Cmdr: It’s a civilian.
Cmdr:...F***. Passenger plane was f*****.
Cmdr: The other plane that fell down, they are after them, the pilots.
Background: The second one?
Cmdr: Yes, there’s 2 planes taken down. We need the second.
Background: The second one is a civilian too?
Background: The fighter jet brought down this one, and our people brought down the fighter.
Background: They decided to do it this way, to look like we have brought down the plane.
Yes Kalyian. I understood you, but we’re already at the crash site. A passenger plane was brought down. They brought down the passenger plane and we brought down the fighter.
We’re at the crash site.
Cmdr: The parachute jumpers are there.
Background: But there are two planes, from my understanding.
Background: And what’s the other one? A Sukoi?
Cmdr: A Sukhoi.
The Sukhoi brought down the plane and we brought down the Sukhoi.
Is it far from here? Where did it fall?
Looks like … Where’s the smoke coming from?
Somewhere else is burning, the 49 village.
I mean … the two pilots landed on parachutes.
Cmdr: Five parachutes jumped off this plane. Five people jumped off this plane on the bird site. How to get there?
