Questions the Media Haven’t Been Asking about Flight MH370
By Doug E. Steil | Aletho News | March 19, 2014
By now, many people following the reports of Flight MH370, the missing Malaysian aircraft, are becoming very suspicious of a cover-up, almost as if though there is no genuine interest in locating the plane, yet going through the superficial motions of at least attempting to do so. Though some officially released information should be considered reliable because elaborate recovery efforts by numerous countries depend on it, for instance the two arcs showing possible 40° locations of the last “ping” with a satellite in geostationary orbit (which would exclude the possibility of the plane having been diverted, say, to the Diego Garcia military base or a variety of other places that have been mentioned), what seems more interesting is the information nobody mentions and the media appear too afraid to ask. For example:
* Why haven’t the corresponding data for previous possible “ping” locations been publicly released, thus constraining the area of the aircraft’s possible location, hence allowing more focus on prioritized search areas?
* Who were those lucky people who had booked that particular flight but did not board (according to initial reports some of them even checked in their luggage) and why has there been no public information about them?
More than seven years ago, in 2006, a publication by the name of Homeland Security News Wire, whose editor in chief studied at Tel Aviv University, ran a brief story about Boeing’s Uninterruptible Auto Pilot System. In the wake of the still missing Boeing 777 aircraft, another publication ran a story, which stated in part:
Perhaps the most unsettling information in regards to the missing Boeing 777 comes from retired 35 year Delta pilot, Field McConnell, who states that since 1995, Boeing Uninterruptible Auto Pilots have been equipped in Boeing planes. This information was apparently not released until March of 2007, following a subsequent lawsuit by McConnell. The modification was reported to the FAA, NTSB and ALPA (airline pilots association). According to McConnell’s documents, Boeing is said to have stated that by end of 2009 all Boeing planes would be fitted with the BUAP – making them impossible to manually hijack within the plane but susceptible to remote control by the military, according the flight veteran.
At least one organization, Voice of Russia, bothered to interview the retired pilot, mentioned above, on this particular topic, but it is obviously not deemed to be sufficiently relevant for general public consumption, as though it were yet another taboo subject, just too “hot” to address.
Aside from such issues as an unauthorized intruder with malicious intent being able to hack the airplane’s avionics and communications system with external piloting commands that override those of the pilots inside the cockpit, the alleged ubiquity of such an autopilot system raises other questions that ought to be addressed; here are just eight:
* Is it only a nation’s military that is authorized to activate the system in an emergency situation?
* Would multiple military organizations be involved in the case of an actual on-board hijacking, say, over Europe?
* Could the military of Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, and perhaps even Indonesia and India have been in the loop about the situation involving Flight MH370?
* Would those authorized to intervene be able to actively supersede the malicious commands of an unauthorized commandeering attempt?
* Wouldn’t it make more sense for the airline operating the aircraft to be primarily responsible, through a 24-hour command center on stand-by, with the military of the countries the aircraft is flying over or near at any particular moment?
* Who would be in charge, say, of an aircraft from a European airline flying over international waters far away, on the other side of the world?
* Could the central command in the case of such rare emergencies that require 24-hour stand-by have been contractually delegated to a private security company to deal with, simply for the sake of expediency or cost, just as the security operations at many airports have been delegated to Israeli-run companies?
* Does the software for these remote autopilot systems get customized or at least regularly updated to fix or at least patch up known or possible security leaks?

The lies about the 1967 war are still more powerful than the truth
By Alan Hart | June 4, 2012
In retrospect it can be seen that the 1967 war, the Six Days War, was the turning point in the relationship between the Zionist state of Israel and the Jews of the world (the majority of Jews who prefer to live not in Israel but as citizens of many other nations). Until the 1967 war, and with the exception of a minority of who were politically active, most non-Israeli Jews did not have – how can I put it? – a great empathy with Zionism’s child. Israel was there and, in the sub-consciousness, a refuge of last resort; but the Jewish nationalism it represented had not generated the overtly enthusiastic support of the Jews of the world. The Jews of Israel were in their chosen place and the Jews of the world were in their chosen places. There was not, so to speak, a great feeling of togetherness. At a point David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s founding father and first prime minister, was so disillusioned by the indifference of world Jewry that he went public with his criticism – not enough Jews were coming to live in Israel.
So how and why did the 1967 war transform the relationship between the Jews of the world and Israel? … continue

MH 370 is in a large hanger just off the North-East end of the runway at Diego Garcia. To search anywhere else is counter-productive.

That satellite ‘ping arc’ is disinformation from a source compromised by an entity with much to hide — ie, the US government. The last publicly known heading of the plane was toward Diego Garcia. What happened is that the NSA intercepted message traffic (ie, email) about two Iranians with stolen passports aboard MH370 and it was erroneously determined by the CIA that it was a ‘slam dunk’ they were hijackers. To prevent the imagined potential hijacking by ‘Iranian terrorists,’ the plane was electronically hijacked by the CIA using the uninterruptible autopilot and diverted to Diego Garcia. The plane either crashed en route, was shot down on approach, or landed and is being ‘detained’ in secrecy.
Why the latter? As we all know now, the ‘Iranian hijackers’ were really just two kids trying to get into Germany for jobs. What should have been a heroic operation for the NSA/CIA, proving the value of its back doors into all US software, has turned into a potential public relations nightmare. Therefore I don’t rule out a fourth possibility: that crew and passengers were reloaded aboard the plane, which was then sent into an even more remote part of the ocean to crash.
Need proof that this is a US national security operation? Well, when was the plane hijacked? March 8. When was Eric Snowden scheduled to speak at SXSW? March 10. Gosh, isn’t that coincidental? They (the US national security apparatus) thought they were going to blow away the biggest public appearance by their biggest critic by proving to all the world how important it is to have US national security snooping our email and hard drives and controlling every commercial jet plane. And instead, they proved his precise point, that they are a bunch of evil incompetents.
Need more proof? As mentioned, the plane’s last reported heading was directly toward Diego Garcia. Yet the mainstream media has never mentioned this. The two most forbidden words in the corporate media are DIEGO GARCIA. It’s a case of the dog that didn’t bark, because the entity that controls the US corporate media also controls Diego Garcia.
Half of the plane’s potential path is on a route to Diego Garcia, and the best long-range over-the-horizon aircraft detection radar in the world is based at Diego Garcia, and it should have been routine to ask, what was seen by the radar installation at Diego Garcia. But no, no one in the media seems to be aware that Diego Garcia even exists.
Finally, interpreting satellite ‘ping data’ into an arc is ridiculous, because the uninterruptible autopilot system would automatically insert additional timing delays into the reporting system as it reviews and reports all aircraft data before allowing it to be transmitted publicly. Even a few milliseconds of transmission delay would throw off the signal-transmission-time-to-distance calculation by hundreds, even thousands of miles. If you use Google Image Search, you’ll find that the ‘MH370 satellite arc’ really is just a circle which encloses the area in which the plane could have resided, and that circle, by the way, appears to be centered almost directly above . . . wait for it . . . DIEGO GARCIA.

1) The conjecture about the plane landing in Diego Garcia gained traction last Friday, before the final “ping” date was released.
2) No plausible scenario was ever suggested, why to hijack the plane over there.
3) The hangers there are not sufficiently big to hide a 777 from satellite observation.
4) The last reported heading was westward, toward the Andaman Islands, obviously to avoid radar in Sumatra, not “directly toward Diego Garcia”.
5) Ground radar at Diego Garcia is too far away to pick up aircraft flying south; (Expensive AWACS aircraft don’t get deployed in the middle of nowhere above the ocean on an early Saturday morning to monitor virtually no aircraft movements.)
6) It’s too simplistic and transparent to outsiders to disregard evidence contradicting one’s pet hypothesis as mere “disinformation” while embracing alleged phantom reports that were never made in the first place.
7) The notion that the US government wanted to make a civilian airliner disappear as a distraction from Edward Snowden making an appearance somewhere is absolutely preposterous.
8) At this point, a fair conclusion is that those who continue to promote the nebulous “Diego Garcia landing” conjecture without any cogent narrative or motive are just “poisoning the well”.

“The hangars are not big enough to hide a 777 from satellite observation” — whose satellite? Why has its entire flight not been seen by satellites — or has it been, and those who run the satellites just don’t choose to share?
“The last reported heading was westward” — by whom? At least the reports of a southward heading had names attached.
“No plausible scenario was ever suggested” — yet? Alternatively, when did been_there_done_that become the arbiter of “plausible”?
I think b_t_d_t is trying too hard. I was actually kind of waffling on the Diego Garcia idea until his debunking effort gave me the feeling that someone reeeally wants the public steered away from DG.
I don’t suppose it had anything to do with either Snowdon or the kids. I’m anticipating a 777-involved false-flag, perhaps arranged to appear Iranian. If it doesn’t happen, I’ll be relieved.

Facts are the US military know the exact whereabouts of any flying machines within striking distance of DG.
It would be lies to suggest this is not the case.
Facts are also that the US military also has the ability to neutralize such devices,in the case of civilian Boeing aircraft they can fly them with more ease than a drone.
To deny that is preposterous.
So really it’s who gained control of the Jet and for what purpose,well,as can be seen the purpose is to irritate as many people as possible and cause distress.
What we cannot see may well hurt us,which was the reasoning behind the space based theatre of operations.
They did weaponize space.

So on the weight of the evidence this ‘dry run’ utilising a civilian passenger jet supplied by Boeing proved to be modestly successful.
Would you fly Boeing knowing their track record and the ubiquity of US military facilities that mushroomed after the Atom bombing visited upon the proving ground previously known as Japan?

I reported the Boeing Uninterruptible Autopilot in two lawsuits; Civil Case 3:07-cv-24 in Feb 2007 and Civil Case 1:08-1600 (RMC) in 2008. Boeing has been honest and responsive; the Airline Pilots Association has been neither. Boeing announced on 3 March, 2007 the existence of the BUAP which is why I didn’t ‘serve’ the first lawsuit. The second lawsuit was ‘in play for 2 years and 5 months and was dismissed in a FRAUD UPON THE COURT. I, Field McConnell (the Plaintiff) have advised ALPA and Judge Rosemary M. Collyer of my INTENT TO SUE. The letter is public and can be found by googling this trio [ Field McConnell + alpa + intent to sue ] There have been 5 such incidents since I first exposed the BUAP on 10 Dec 2006: Adam Air 574, Kenya Airways 507, Air France 447, Sukhoi Superjet 100 [ all hull loss all fatals ] and the missing or ‘lost hull’ of MH370. How does ALPA explain not pursuing the truth in the interest of safety? We are about to find out. Field McConnell fieldmcc@yahoo.com
