US airforce pilot & airline captain says MH370 hijacked by CIA, flown to
Diego Garcia

Newsletter published on 11 February 2017

Friends,

This material is at http://www.mailstar.net/MH370.html

Yesterday, I did a Skype video call with Field McConnell, a former US
airforce pilot (flew F4s & F16s) and former airline captain (747-400)
with Delta Airlines & Northwest airlines.

He believes MH370 was hijacked by the CIA and flown to Diego Garcia; and
thinks it quite possible that the plane tracked off Western Australia
was a decoy plane. The same happened with 9/11.

He resigned from his airline rather than shut up.

Here is a youtube of Field McConnell (who I Skyped with) addressing a
meeting about MH370 and 9/11: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0K-i3Zxb3Q

He says that the planes were electronically hijacked by intelligence
agencies, using technology called "Uninterruptible AutoPilot".

There's a Boeing Uninterruptible AutoPilot, and a Thales one.

All modern planes have it; they can be flown remotely as a drone.

The pilot of American 77, which supposedly hit the Pentagon, was a
friend of his.

In fact, a missile hit the Pentagon; AA77 was switched and, he says,
detonated over the Atlantic Ocean.

This sort of "decoy plane" was first advocated in Operation Northwoods,
in 1961. At that time, the Joint Chiefs of Staff signed off on it. They
wanted to stage a False Flag attack, to be blamed on Cuba, as an excuse
to invade it.

But President Kennedy, and Attorney General Robert Kennedy, vetoed it,
and sacked the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Papers on the plan were released about 1995, as part of an investigation
into the assassination of JFK.

However, Wikipedia omits the best bits. Here they are, from the book
that broke the story:

Body of Secrets**

**

by James Bamford**

**

DOUBLEDAY

New York

2001**

**

{p. 82}**According to secret and long‑hidden documents obtained for
/Body of Secrets, /the *Joint Ghiefs of Staff* drew up and approved
plans for what may be the most corrupt plan ever created by the U.S.
government. In the name of anticommunism, they *proposed launching a
secret and bloody war of terrorism against their own country* in
order*to trick the American public into supporting* an ill‑conceived
*war *they intended to launch *against Cuba*.**

**

Codenamed *Operation Northwoods, the plan, which had the written
approval of the Chairman and every member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff*,
called for innocent people to be shot on American streets; for boats
carrying refugees fleeing Cuba to be sunk on the high seas; for a wave
of violent terrorism to be launched in Washington, D.C., Miami, and
elsewhere. *People would be framed for bombings they did not commit;
planes would be hijacked*. Using phony evidence, all of it would be
blamed on Castro, thus giving Lemnitzer and his cabal the excuse, as
well as the public and international backing, they needed to launch
their war. ...

**

{p. 83}**They would have to *trick the American public and world opinion
into hating Cuba* ...

**

Among the actions recommended was "a series of well coordinated
incidents to take place in and around" the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo
Bay, Cuba. This included *dressing "friendly" Cubans in Cuban military
uniforms* and then *have them "start riots* near the main gate of the
base. Others would pretend to be saboteurs inside the base. Ammunition
would be blown up, fires started, aircraft sabotaged, mortars fired at
the base with damage to installations."**

**

The suggested operations grew progressively more outrageous. Another
called for an action similar to the infamous incident in February *1898
when an explosion aboard the battleship /Maine /in Havana harbor killed
266 U.S. sailors*. Although the exact cause of the explosion remained
undetermined, it sparked the Spanish‑American War with Cuba. Incited by
the deadly blast, more than one million men volunteered for duty.
Lemnitzer and his generals came up with a similar plan. "*We could blow
up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba*," they proposed;
"casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause a helpful wave of
national indignation." ...

**

{p. 85}**Bombings were proposed, false arrests, hijackings:*...*

**

-"*Hijacking attempts against civil air and surface craft* could appear
to continue as harassing measures condoned by the Government of Cuba." ...

**

*AN AIRCRAFT AT ELGIN AFB WOULD BE PAINTED AND NUMBERED AS AN EXACT
DUPLICATE FOR A CIVIL REGISTERED AIRCRAFT*belonging to a CIA proprietary
organization in the Miami

{p. 86} area. At a designated time the *DUPLICATE WOULD BE SUBSTITUTED
FOR THE ACTUAL CIVIL AIRCRAFT* AND WOULD BE *LOADED WITH THE SELECTED
PASSENGERS, ALL BOARDED UNDER *carefully prepared *ALIASES*. The actual
*REGISTERED AIRCRAFT WOULD BE CONVERTED TO A DRONE* [a remotely
controlled unmanned aircraft]. Take off times of the drone aircraft and
the actual aircraft will be scheduled to allow a RENDEZVOUS south of
Florida.**

**

FROM THE RENDEZVOUS POINT *THE PASSENGER‑CARRYING AIRCRAFT *will descend
to minimum altitude and go directly *into an auxiliary field *at Elgin
AFB where arrangements will have been made to*EVACUATE THE PASSENGERs*
and return the aircraft to its original status. The *drone aircraft
meanwhile will continue to fly the filed flight plan*. When over Cuba
the drone will be *transmitting* on the international distress frequency
*a "May Day" message* stating he is *under attack by Cuban MiG
aircraft*. The transmission will be interrupted by *DESTRUCTION OF THE
AIRCRAFT,* which will be *TRIGGERED BY RADIO SIGNAL*. This will allow
ICAO [International Civil Aviation Organization] radio stations in the
Western Hemisphere to tell the U.S. what has happened to the aircraft
instead of the U.S. trying to "sell" the incident.**

**

Finally, there was a plan to "*make it appear that Communist Cuban MiGs
have destroyed a USAF aircraft over international waters in an
unprovoked attack*." It was a particularly believable operation given
the decade of shootdowns that had just taken place.**

**

In the final sentence of his *letter to Secretary McNamara recommending
the operations*, Lemnitzer made a grab for even more power, *asking that
the Joint Chiefs be placed in charge of carrying out Operation
Northwoods and the invasion*. "It is recommended," he wrote, "that this
responsibility for both overt and covert military operations be assigned
to the Joint Chiefs of Staf£"**

**

At 2:30 on the afternoon of Tuesday, March 13, 1962, Lemnitzer**went
over last‑minute details of Operation Northwoods with his covert ac­tion
chief, Brigadier General William H. Craig, and signed the document.**He
then went to a "special meeting" in McNamara's office. An hour later**

**

{p. 87}**he *met with Kennedy's military representative, General Maxwell
Taylor*. What happened during those meetings is unknown. But*three days
later, President Kennedy told Lemnitzer that there was virtually no
possibility that the U.S. would ever use overt military force in Cuba.*

**

*Undeterred, Lemnitzer and the Chiefs persisted, virtually to the point
of demanding that they be given authority to invade and take over Cub*a.
About a month after submitting Operation Northwoods, they met in the
"tank," as the JCS conference room was called, and agreed on the wording
of a tough memorandum to McNamara. "The *Joint Chiefs of Staff believe
that the Cuban problem must be solved in the near future*," they wrote.
"Further, they see no prospect of early success in overthrowing the
p'resent communist regime either as a result of internal uprising or
external political, economic or psychological pressures. Accordingly
they believe that *military intervention by the United States will be
required to overthrow the present communist regime*." ...

**

{p. 89}**As has been described, *the document was signed and fully
approved by Lemnitzer and the rest of the Joint Chiefs *and addressed to
the Secretary of Defense for his signature. Whether it went beyond
McNamara to the president and the attorney general is not known.**

**

Even after Lemnitzer lost his job, *the Joint Chiefs kept planning
"pretext" operations at least into 1963*. Among their proposals was a
plan to *deliberately create a war between Cuba and any of a number of
its Latin American neighbors. This would give the United States military
an excuse to come in on the side of Cuba's adversary *and get rid of
Castro. ...**

**

{p. 90} Although they never succeeded in launching America into a phony
war with Cuba, *they may have done so with Vietnam*. More than 50,000
Americans and more than 2 million Vietnamese were eventually killed in
that war.**

**

It has long been suspected that the *1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident*—the
spark that led to America's long war in Vietnam—was largely staged or
provoked by U.S. officials in order to build up congressional and public
support for American involvement. Over the years, serious questions have
been raised about the alleged attack by North Vietnamese patrol boats on
two American destroyers in the Gul£ But defenders of the Pentagon have
always denied such charges, arguing that senior officials would never
engage in such deceit.**

**

{p. 91} Now, however, in light of the Operation Northwoods documents, it
is clear that deceiving the public and trumping up wars for Americans to
fight and die ig was standard, approved policy at the highest levels of
the Pentagon. In fact, the Gulf of Tonkin seems right out of the
Operation Northwoods playbook: "We could blow up a U.S. ship in
Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba . . . casualty lists in U.S. newspapers
would cause a helpful wave of indignation." One need only replace
"Guantanamo Bay" with "Tonkin Gulf," and "Cuba" with "North Vietnam."
The Gulf of Tonkin incident may or may not have been stagemanaged, but
the senior Pentagon leadership at the time was clearly capable of such
deceit.*...*
