(1) Archive of newsletters on MH370 - by Peter Myers, July 27,
2014
Readers, I hope you will forgive me for sending out fewer bulletins
lately. I live like a peasant - "Plain Living and High Thinking", as
Thoreau put it - which means that I am the carpenter, plumber, gardener,
orchardist, mechanic etc at my small farm and one other block. In
addition, I am editor of a Garden club newsletter.
However, be
assured that I have been collecting information as usual. I
have a huge
backlog to send to you.
The Wikipedia article on Malaysia Airlines Flight
370 says that the
search "became the largest and most expensive in history":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_370
We
conspiracy analysts see it as a new 9/11. And an Inside Job, just
like 9/11.
But whereas 9/11 is likely to have been a Mossad job (with
backing from
traitorous elements in the US Government), most of us see
MH370 as a CIA
operation. The exceptions are Christopher Bollyn and
Yoichi Shimatsu, who
see it as Mossad.
Because MH370 is so important, I am archiving all my
newsletters about
it. You can see that archive at http://mailstar.net/bulletins/bulletins.html
My
two earlier newsletters on MH370 are archived there:
1: Maldives
sightings: http://mailstar.net/bulletins/140319-b2362-MH370.rtf
2:
Mahathir alleges remote hijacking by CIA; Yoichi Shimatsu presents a
detailed case: http://mailstar.net/bulletins/140521-b2388-MH370.rtf
This
newsletter (the third in the series) is archived there at
http://mailstar.net/bulletins/140727-b2420-MH370.rtf
I
hope that you will download all three of them from there, and keep
them for
reference.
The rtf files should download for opening in Word, with
formatting (eg
bold) preserved. Please report any problems.
Some
readers forward selected bulletins (of mine) to their mailing
lists. Because
this one is so big, it is likely to be truncated by some
email providers or
browsers. I had to keep it big, to preserve the unity
of the material, but
immediately after I send it to you as a single
newsletter, I will also send
it out as two halves, which should escape
that truncation if you forward
them.
(2) MH370: Internet contributors assemble evidence of Hijacking to
Diego
Garcia - by Peter Myers, July 27, 2014
The Daily Mail has a
useful graphic on what happened to MH370:
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/03/18/article-2583076-1C60477200000578-722_634x634_popup.jpg
The
main Wikipedia article on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 makes no
mention of
Georesonance, Philip Wood, or Diego Garcia, and the Maldives
is only
mentioned in a footnote, but these are covered in an additional
webpage on
Unofficial Disappearance Theories:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_370_unofficial_disappearance_theories
(items
3-6) The Maldives sightings of an airliner flying low the morning
after
MH370 disappeared were discounted by the head of the Maldives
National
Defence Force. He said that there was no radar trace of the
plane. However,
it had been reported as flying unusually low over the
Maldives. MH370 was
also reported as flying low over over Malaysia and
Indonesia to dodge radar,
so the Maldives Commander's dismissal should
not be taken as positive
proof.
He gave no further details of why he dismissed the sightings, and
whether he even talked to those who reported them. The media did not ask
further questions. We do not normally accept military information as
beyond question, because militaries have their own agenda and like to
shape the news, embed reporters etc.
In 2013, the US put to the
Maldives Government a draft agreement for a
military base there. These days,
they're not called a "base" but a "lily
pad". The proposal is covered at
items 3 to 6 below. The Maldives
Government was willing, but in the end
turned it down because its
neighbours India and Sri Lanka were upset at such
an intrusion into
their backyard.
The proposal does show, however,
that there was liason between the top
levels of the Maldives and US
militaries - most likely the Command at
Diego Garcia. Therefore, if that
Command had phoned the head of the
Maldives Military after the Maldives
sightings were reported, he may
have obliged without much investigation. One
should not take his
statements as conclusive at all.
It would cost
only $10,000 dollars or so for the official inquiry, or
for the Western
media, to send personnel to the Maldives to interview
all those who reported
sightings, and document them. Yet, that path has
been spurned, even while
the cost of the official inquiry approaches $90
million.
(items 7-8)
Aviation experts say that when a big airliner like the 777
hits the ocean,
it's like hitting concrete. There's lots of Debris, and
much of it floats on
water (eg seats). That happened with Air France
Flight 447: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_447.
Such
debris was not found; therefore MH370 landed somewhere. Also see item
40, by Aviator, on this.
(items 9-13) Diego Garcia is the obvious
place. Also see Yoichi
Shimatsu's detailed case in my 2nd newsletter about
MH370. When Jay
Carney responded, "I'll rule that one out", journalists took
that
rebuttal as definitive. It did not occur to them that Government
spokesmen might lie, or even be ignorant about what really happened.
They did not ask, for example, why Diego Garcia Suspended All Flights On
March 8th 2014 for 72 hrs (item 10).
(items 14-20) New Scientist
& the Wall St Journal reported that MH370
send a number of data packets
to Rolls Royce, maker of its engines.
Rolls-Royce later went quiet on this;
Boeing likewise. Tony Gosling saw
it as "the clear signature of an
Information Operations campaign to stop
publication" (item 39). The motive
is likely connected to the US
military's China focus (Air-Sea Battle), and
technology and expertise
being sent to China aboard MH370. Aviator wondered
"what caused Rolls
Royce to clam up about what they knew? US threats? No
more engine sales
into the US market maybe?" (item 40).
(items 21-26)
Bush Jnr announced technology "to take over distressed
aircraft and land it
by remote control". Boeing Parented remote control
of a plane in 2006, and
the US Airforce later demonstrated it.
Remote-control software disconnects
onboard controls, and provides Power
"from an alternative power control
element" (item 25).
(items 27-8) The Mainstream Media reported that MH370
was 'thrown around
like a fighter jet in attempt to dodge radar', and
navigating between
way-points as it headed west towards the Andaman Islands.
They interpret
this is mean that the plane had been hijacked by a skilled
aviator,
perhaps the pilot or co-pilot. Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah was an
inlaw
of Anwar Ibrahim, and a poltical supporter of his who wore a T-shirt
saying "Democracy Dead" (see the Daily Mail graphic). Yet a hijacking
would not benefit Anwar's political position, but rather imperil it,
which is why Anwar went to great trouble to distance himself from
speculation about it. The Mainstream Media have not wondered who the
hijacker might be, if not the pilot or co-pilot; the only exception is
Sally Leivesley, a former British Home Office scientific adviser who
warned that MH370 may have been 'cyber-hijacked' using a mobile phone or
USB stick (see my first newsletter on MH370). Even she, however, did not
publicly wonder if the hijacking might have been done, not by amateurs
but by Government intelligence agents using a computer.
(items 29-30)
The MH370 handshake (attempt to log-on to the IMMARSAT
satellite) at 2.25am
was unusual. Experts say it indicates power
interruption by a hijacker
attempting to dodge radar. They assume that
the hijacker would be onboard,
and do not consider a remote hijacker -
except that the President of
Emirates, biggest user of 777s, worries
that they can be remotely hijacked
(item 26). The real worry, which they
dare not express, is that they cannot
trust the US and British Governments.
(items 31-32) The Australian navy
admits it followed a false trail of
pings, wasting millions of Dollars and
precious weeks when the Black Box
would be emitting. Satellite experts
writing in The Atlantic (Monthly)
concluded that Immarsat's mathematics,
which produced the two famous
arcs defining the search area, was
faulty.
(items 33-38) Georesonance, a Geophysical survey company using
Nuclear
Magnetic Resonance technology from the Soviet Union, claimed that it
had
located wreckage in the Bay of Bengal. This is not consistent with the
idea that MH370 landed on Diego Garcia, but it should have been
investigated. At least, the search team should have approached to the
company's experts to see its data. Georesonance announced in a Press
Release of June 30, 2014 that the official search had not done so,
despite having wasted Millions on its own false trails.
(items 39-40)
The best overall summaries by Tony Gosling, who says the
disappearance was
orchestrated by the West's Military Industrial Complex
(item 39), and by
Aviator, who notes that a 777's engines, being lower
than the fuselage,
would make contact with the water first, causing a
rapid nose down and
cartwheeling. "Wreckage beacon clearly visible and
heard. With there being
so many items on board that float and transmit"
(item 40).
MALDIVES
SIGHTINGS Dismissed without Investigation
(3) Maldives sightings
discounted by Maldives National Defence Force

Missing
Malaysia Airlines plane: Maldives discounted as possible
location for
MH370
Sydney Morning Herald, March 19, 2014
Eyewitness reports of
a possible sighting of missing Malaysian Airlines
Flight MH370 flying near
the Maldives have been officially discounted in
a statement issued by the
Maldives National Defence Force.
These reports were also confirmed by
Malaysia's Transport Minister,
Hishamuddin Hussein.
"Based on the
monitoring up to date, no indication of Flight MH370 has
been observed on
any military radars in the country,” the statement said.
"Furthermore,
the data of radars at Maldives airports have also been
analysed and shows no
indication of the said flight. The Maldives
National Defence Force will
continue to render any assistance required
by the Maldives Police Service
and international authorities on the
search for the missing flight and
related issues.”
Earlier reports had quoted several residents of
Kudahuvadhoo in Dhaal
atoll who saw a low-flying aircraft heading in a
south-easterly
direction on the morning of March 8, prompting speculation
that it could
have been Malaysian Airlines flight MH370.
The
residents said the aircraft had markings similar to the missing
Malaysian
Airlines plane.
The Maldives news website Minivan News quoted five
eyewitnesses who said
they saw the aircraft. “It was about 6:30 in the
morning, I heard a loud
noise and went out to see what it was,” Adam Saeed,
a teacher at
Kudahuvadhoo school, told the Maldives news website Minivan
News.
“I saw a flight flying very low and it had a red straight line in
the
middle of it. The flight was travelling north-west to south-east,” he
said.
Another islander, who identified himself as Hamzath, told Minivan
News
that he had also seen a low-flying plane heading from north-west to
south-east.
“People started talking about it when they realised that
the flight that
we saw had the same characteristics as of the missing
plane,” Hamzath said.
‘‘We are still not saying it is the same plane, we
just wanted to report
it just in case.”
Another suggested that the
reports had been exaggerated.
“A plane did fly near the island,” said the
witness who was not named.
“It wasn’t that big, as big as people
say.”
“These days, people will be out fishing every morning. Around 30
people
would always be there in the morning – but no one talked about it
then.
If it was that noticeable, loud and big, people would
talk."
When asked about the possibility of a plane of this size landing
on an
isolated airstrip in the atolls, Maldives National Defence Force
spokesman Major Hussain Ali said this was not possible.
“If you are
asking are there any landing strips outside of the main
commercial airports,
the answer is no,” Major Hussain said.
(4) US draft agreement for
military presence in Maldives (2013)
http://in.rbth.com/blogs/2013/04/26/us_seeks_military_presence_in_maldives_24183.html
US
seeks military presence in Maldives
April 26, 2013 M K
Bhadrakumar
In a dramatic turn to the Great Game in the Indian Ocean, the
United
States’ strategies towards the island archipelago of Maldives have
come
under the scanner.
The intriguing ‘leak’ of a draft Status of
Forces Agreement [SOFA]
between the United States and the Maldivian
government has led to
reluctant confirmation by both countries that they are
indeed involved
in discussion with each other to conclude such an
agreement.
The draft agreement “incorporates the principal provisions and
necessary
authorisations for the temporary presence and activities of United
States forces in the Republic of Maldives and, in the specific
situations indicated herein, the presence and activities of United
States contractors in the Republic of Maldives.”
However, the US
embassy in Colombo has maintained that “There are no
plans for a permanent
military base in Maldives. SOFAs are normal
practice wherever the Unites
States cooperates closely with a country’s
national security forces. SOFAs
generally establish the framework under
which US personnel operate in a
country when supporting security-related
activities and the United States is
currently party to more than 100
agreements that may be considered a
SOFA.”
On the other hand, the draft SOFA is a sweeping document which
says,
“The Republic of the Maldives authorises United States forces to
exercise all rights and authorities with Agreed Facilities and Areas
that are necessary for their use, operation, defence or control,
including the right to undertake new construction works and make
alterations and improvements.”
Interestingly, the US recently signed
a memorandum of understanding with
Maldives, which will lead to the American
side providing the border
control, system for the island and manage it.
Effectively, it puts the
US in control of entry points into the island from
the outside world.
The Maldives government insists that it is yet to
decide on the SOFA.
Evidently, the US is pressing hard. Last month, a US
aircraft carrier
USS John C Stennis visited Maldives.
The draft SOFA
envisages that the Maldives would “furnish, without
charge” to the US
unspecified “Agreed Facilities and Areas”, and “such
other facilities and
areas in the territory and territorial seas of the
Republic of Maldives as
may be provided by the Republic of Maldives in
the future.”
It
specifies: “The Republic of the Maldives authorizes United States
forces to
exercise all rights and authorities with Agreed Facilities and
Areas that
are necessary for their use, operation, defense or control,
including the
right to undertake new construction works and make
alterations and
improvements.”
It further says, the US would be authorised to “control
entry” to areas
provided for its “exclusive use,” and would be permitted to
operate its
own telecommunications system and use the radio spectrum “free
of cost
to the United States”.
Besides, the US would also be granted
access to and use of “aerial
ports, sea ports and agreed facilities for
transit, support and related
activities; bunkering of ships, refuelling of
aircraft, maintenance of
vessels, aircraft, vehicles and equipment,
accommodation of personnel,
communications, ship visits, training,
exercises, humanitarian activities.”
Interestingly, the SOFA confers on
the US personnel (and civilian staff)
“the privileges, exemptions and
immunities equivalent to those accorded
to the administrative and technical
staff of a diplomatic mission under
the Vienna Convention”, and guarantees
that the Maldives laws won’t be
applicable to the US personnel, who will be
subject exclusively to the
criminal jurisdiction of the United
States.
The US personnel and contractors would also be permitted to
import and
export personal property, equipment, supplies and technology
without
license, restriction or inspection, or the payment of any taxes,
charges
or customs duties.
Most important, the vessels and vehicles
operated by, and for, US forces
would be permitted to enter and move freely
within the territorial seas
of the Maldives, free from boarding, inspection
or the payment of
landing, parking, port or harbour fees.
It is
unclear whether New Delhi is aware of this hugely important
development,
which holds far-reaching implications for India’s strategic
environment.
The Maldives Defence Minister Mohamed Nazim concluded a
4-day visit to
India only 10 days ago. The Indian statement on Nazim’s talks
with his
counterpart A. K. Antony said, “As close neighbours sharing common
security concerns, there is scope to further develop the relationship in
mutually agreed areas. Shri Antony conveyed that India stands committed
to enhance the ongoing defence and security partnership with
Maldives.”
Needless to say, it will be a tectonic shift in the
geopolitics of the
Indian Ocean region if the US secures a military presence
in the
Maldives. General
The India-Maldives ties came under serious
strain in the recent period
following Delhi’s ill-conceived move to push a
democracy project in
Maldives. The US diplomacy has apparently cashed in on
the resultant
situation by filling in the crucial role that India
traditionally
occupied in Maldives’ national security
calculus.
Significantly, the western powers – US, Britain, Australia,
etc. – have
all but piped down lately on the democracy deficit in Maldives.
In
retrospect, the democracy project served the key purpose of pressuring
the Maldives government to open up to western patronage.
In sum,
India’s loss has been the US’s gain. The draft SOFA is here.

US "lily pad" proposed for Maldives (2013)
http://in.rbth.com/blogs/2013/05/08/americas_coconut_grove_lily_pad_in_maldives_24665.html
America’s
coconut grove, lily pad in Maldives
May 8, 2013 M K
Bhadrakumar
The US is acquiring some very valuable real estate in the
Indian Ocean
by exploiting the perceived insecurity of the political elites
who
usurped power and currently matter in Malé.
The American
diplomats on the South Asia beat maintain that there are
“no plans for US
base in Maldives.” The US stance is that their Status
of Forces Agreement
[SOFA] under negotiation with the government of
Maldives is a “normal
practice.”
They argue, the US has signed SOFAs with over 100 countries,
so what’s
the big deal. The Maldives Defence Minister Mohamed Nazim says
that as
per his understanding, the SOFA would facilitate “joint military
training exercises” that the US has proposed. Meanwhile, Chinese
newspaper Global Times has carried on Monday a Xinhua agency report
appropriately entitled “Maldives could allow increased US military
presence.”
Do these reports contradict each other? To my mind, the
reports are
variations of a single theme. Consider the following: The
current US
policy disfavours the setting up of old-fashioned military bases
abroad,
which would be wasteful and unwarranted in the post-Cold War era.
Clearly, Okinawa in Japan or Yongsan in Seoul are a thing of the
past.
The United States is currently negotiating a SOFA with Afghanistan.
But
Washington maintains that it has no intentions of setting up military
bases in Afghanistan – although the intention is quite obviously to
establish open-ended American military presence in the region.
No one
can take exception to such diplomatic sophistry. The former US
defence
secretary Donald Rumsfeld who had a way with words conjured up a
brilliant
expression to describe the post-modern American military bases
abroad. He
called them “lily-pads” and embedded the label in a new
military doctrine
signifying a fundamental shift in how the US forces
are deployed worldwide
in the 21st century.
A reasonable compromise under the circumstances will
be to refer to the
upcoming US military bases in the Maldives as “lily
pads.” Plainly put,
the US-Maldives SOFA happens to contain terms and
provisions, which go
way beyond what the Pentagon would operationally need
for a bunch of
beefy American trainers to visit the island archipelago to
train the
armed forces of Maldives. Pentagon has coined a nice expression to
call
its military training programme for the Maldives – “coconut
grove.”
Funnily, too, according to the latest CIA Fact Sheet, the
Maldives as a
country would have 4167 men and 3595 women “reaching
militarily
significant annually”, which is to say, Pentagon will have a real
hard
time finding people to come to the coconut grove to get
trained.
To be sure, all this is a joke. Who is it that the American
diplomats
are kidding? Plainly put, the US is acquiring some very valuable
real
estate in the Indian Ocean by exploiting the perceived insecurity of
the
political elites who usurped power and currently matter in
Malé.
Britain found Gan military base in the Maldives to be of great
worth
during World War II operations. It gave up Gan in 1976 as it pulled
out
from “east of Suez.” The Pentagon now wants it back. Period.
But
the real stunner today has been the claim by a senior US state
department
official in Washington that the Obama administration
consulted New Delhi
about the upcoming SOFA with the Maldives.
Of course, there is no way to
cross-check an American diplomat’s claim.
But then, any Indian pundit would
know the US is a benign military power
and its military presence is a great
thing to have – be it in the lily
pads in Singapore, Thailand, Diego Garcia
or Bahrain or the dozens of
lily pads spread across the Persian Gulf region
or the new lily pads
coming up in Afghanistan and the Maldives. Conceivably,
the more lily
pads the merrier; they keep the Chinese away.

Maldives Rejects "lily pad" Military Pact with US, because it would
upset
neighbors (India, Sri Lanka)
http://www.defensenews.com/article/20140122/DEFREG03/301220025/Maldives-Rejects-Military-Pact-US
Maldives
Rejects Military Pact With US
Jan. 22, 2014 - 02:53PM | By AGENCE
FRANCE-PRESSE
COLOMBO, SRI LANKA — The Maldives has decided not to take
part in a
proposed military cooperation pact with the United States over
fears
that it could upset the regional power India, senior officials said
Wednesday.
Speaking on a visit to Sri Lanka, the atoll nation’s new
President
Abdulla Yameen said he did not want to proceed with the Status of
Forces
Agreement (SOFA) that would have given the US a foothold in his
archipelago located across the main east-west sea route.
“There have
been discussions before ... we are not going to pursue it,”
he told
reporters in Colombo during his second overseas visit since
winning
elections two months ago.
The US had confirmed early last year
discussions on the accord, but had
said it had no intention of setting up
any bases in the Maldives.
Although the president gave no reason for the
decision, Mohamed Shareef,
a minister in Yameen’s office, said it had been
made over fears that the
pact would upset its neighbors, including
India.
“We have told them that we can’t do it because both India and Sri
Lanka
are also not happy with it,” said Shareef, without giving further
details.
Shareef said the proposed SOFA would have given the US military
access
to two atolls in the nation of 1,192 tiny coral islands scattered
some
800 kilometers (500 miles) across the equator.
He noted that the
US military already had a considerable presence in
Diego Garcia, a British
territory, about 700 kilometers (437 miles)
south of the Maldivian
archipelago.
India is the regional super power and is highly sensitive to
outside
presence in the Indian Ocean area. It has also been recently
involved in
a diplomatic bust-up with the US over the treatment of one of
its
diplomats in New York. [...]

The
plane truth: Malaysia Airlines boss on what really happened the
night flight
MH370 went missing
Londoner Hugh Dunleavy has spent the past 107 days
working tirelessly to
find flight MH370. Here the Malaysia Airlines boss
tells Lucy Tobin what
really happened during the night that sparked a
thousand theories
LUCY TOBIN
The Evening Standard,
London

It
was four in the morning and Hugh Dunleavy was heading to Kuala Lumpur
airport to fly to a conference in Borneo when his phone flashed with an
emergency text. Malaysia Airlines’ commercial boss never made it to that
conference. Instead he spent the next 72 hours working non-stop to find
out why flight MH370 had gone missing and trying to explain his lack of
an answer to hundreds of distraught relatives in a grief limbo.
The
now-infamous flight lost contact with air traffic control at 1.34am
on March
8, an hour after take-off. But in this, his first major
interview since
MH370 disappeared, Dunleavy reports it was three hours
later by the time air
traffic controllers — having tried and failed to
get a response from the
plane and from radar controllers in Vietnam,
Hong Kong and China — sent that
emergency text.
Dunleavy is one of London’s brightest expats: he grew up
in Ealing, took
a PhD in physics at Sheffield University then started his
career working
in a role “I can’t talk about” for the Ministry of Defence.
He was the
first to arrive at the airline’s emergency control room that
morning;
then he became Malaysia Airlines’ public face as the tragedy
unfolded.
“My first thought was that the pilot had fallen asleep, or
something had
gone wrong with the communication system,” he says. “We had
five other
aircraft in the sky nearby, so our senior pilots started
contacting
them, asking if they’d seen MH370, getting them to ping it. But
we got
no response.”
Three months since that plane and its 239
passengers and crew went
missing, there’s still no trace. “Something
untoward happened to that
plane. I think it made a turn to come back, then a
sequence of events
overtook it, and it was unable to return to base. I
believe it’s
somewhere in the south Indian Ocean. But when [a plane] hits
the ocean
it’s like hitting concrete. The wreckage could be spread over a
big
area. And there are mountains and canyons in that ocean. I think it
could take a really long time to find. We’re talking decades.”

Missing Plane Mystery
Solved?
By Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor, for Press TV
Two
former high-level insiders may have solved two of the mysteries
surrounding
the disappearance of Malaysian Flight 370:
What caused the plane to
suddenly fly off-course? And why are all of the
governments involved
covering up the truth?
Had MH 370 crashed in the ocean, it would have
left a huge,
easily-visible debris field. Countries with satellite
surveillance
systems, and their partners, know exactly where the plane went.
Boeing
and its engine-manufacturer Rolls Royce also know, since planes and
engines have GPS systems. (You can buy a GPS system for a little over
$50 in the US; it would be naive to think a $320 million aircraft
doesn't have one.) Even the INMARSAT satellite "pings" that we have been
told can only sweep a broad arc of possible locations could in reality
be used to locate the aircraft with some precision, due to the fact that
radio transmissions vary in signatures according to time of day,
sunspots, and so on. The "hunt for the airliner" peddled to the
mainstream media is clearly a charade.
So what are all of the major
players - both in governments and the
aircraft industry - working so hard to
hide?
Matthias Chang, a barrister who served as Political Secretary to
Malaysian Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, explained during an
exclusive Truth Jihad Radio interview that only a remote-hijacking
fly-by-wire scenario can explain the plane's disappearance. Chang's
views were confirmed by Gene "Chip" Tatum, a former Special Forces Air
Combat Controller and US Army special operations pilot who has carried
out ultra-sensitive missions at the direct orders of US
Presidents.
Chang says the Malaysian government has been given sealed
evidence by
one or more foreign governments concerning the fate of MH-370.
As a
condition of receiving that evidence, Malaysia is not allowed to
divulge it.
Matthias Chang is familiar with the highest levels of power
in Malaysia.
He presumably has some idea of what is in the sealed evidence.
But if he
did know, he could not say it directly.
Maybe that is why
Matthias Chang recently sent an email to MH-370
investigators in the
alternative media with a "hint":
"WHAT IF THE DISAPPEARANCE OF MH 370 IS
SUCH THAT IF THE TRUTH BE KNOWN
AS TO HOW IT HAPPENED IT WOULD NOT ONLY BE A
SECURITY ISSUE, IT WOULD
ALSO HAVE A GLOBAL IMPACT ON THE WORLD'S ECONOMY.
'THINGS' (USED IN A
BROAD SENSE, AND SO YOU HAVE TO THINK WHAT 'THINGS'
THAT) WOULD COME TO
A COMPLETE HALT, ALMOST A COMPLETE SHUT
DOWN."
What "things" would "come to a complete halt" and badly damage the
world
economy if the truth about MH-370 were told?
Chip Tatum thinks
those "things" are commercial airplanes. In our
interview Friday night,
Tatum suggested that the current generation of
airliners' fly-by-wire
systems are extremely vulnerable to catastrophic
sabotage, including
electronic hijacking.
Tatum called the alleged search for the aircraft "a
smokescreen...
They're keeping the media busy in the South Indian Ocean
while things
are being done in other areas. I think the government doesn't
want us to
know what they know because they don't think we can handle the
truth."
But what could that truth possibly be? Tatum explains: "If it
were known
that something is that easily hijacked by remote control, people
would
stop flying. And then you're talking about a huge impact on business
and
everything else."
So when Matthias Chang says that the truth
about MH-370 would cause
"things" to come to a complete halt, he is
presumably referring to
commercial air traffic. I asked Chang point blank if
this was true. He
did not deny it. But rather than confirm this hypothesis -
which may be
off-limits to direct discussion due to its inclusion in the
sealed
evidence Malaysia has been given - Chang directed me to his most
recent
article at FutureFastForward.com citing evidence that new technology
allows planes to be flown from the ground.
Chip Tatum speculates that
a bright teenager with a laptop and a cell
phone could hack into commercial
aircraft fly-by-wire systems. He
explains that in newer aircraft, cables
driven by pilot controls have
been replaced by computers sending electronic
signals. While
technologies have been patented for protecting these
fly-by-wire systems
- notably US Patent #8,391,493, which the US government
immediately
"disappeared" from Patent Office records by invoking the
Invention
Secrecy Act - they apparently have not yet been implemented. If
Tatum is
right, commercial aircraft currently flying are wide-open for
remote
hijacking.
The scenario outlined by Chang and Tatum explains
how MH370 was
hijacked, and why all the major players are covering up the
truth. But
it does not explain who remote-hijacked MH370 and why.

Day
43 Malaysian plane mystery: US military base on Diego Garcia atoll
IS
involved
Submitted by SteveMT on Thu, 03/13/2014 - 14:26
Does
anyone else smell a rat close by? This incident is beginning to
stink of
American involvement. Nothing like it has ever occurred in
aviation history.
Cell phone calls not able to be traced; no radar
tracings; transponders
turned off; no wreckage spotted; and a large
plane with 239 people aboard
vanishes without a trace. Enter the secret
military base at the Diego Garcia
atoll, which has a huge runway and is
four hours flying time from Malaysia.
Only government personal with a
high security clearance work there; clearly
visible are over a dozen
B-52 aircraft on the 2014 satellite Google Map.
With the tens of
billions of dollars needed to build and maintain this
facility, Diego
Garcia must have its own dedicated satellite surveillance
system that
would show any aircraft, ships, or submarines getting even
remotely
close to this facility. However, the level of sophistication of its
radar is classified and unverifiable. With the plane now missing for 43
days (1,000+ hours), the 'thinkables' have become unlikely and so the
'unthinkables' have become possibilities.
This is pure speculation NO
LONGER, or so it would seem! Maldives island
residents reported sighting of
'low flying jet' on the morning of the
plane's disappearance that was
finally reported on twelve days after the
fact. The pilot of the missing
plane had a home flight simulator, which
was been reported twelve days later
to contain the landing simulation
program of the Diego Garcia runway along
with four other runway
approaches in the region. Whether any, all, or none
of this information
is true is still a matter of conjecture. What remains a
fact is that not
a trace of the Malaysian 777-200ER has been found. At his
daily news
briefing on 3-18-14, WH spokesperson Jay Carney has denied any
involvement of the Diego Garcia facility with the disappearance of
flight MH370.

Was
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Redirected to Diego Garcia?
It has now
become fairly evident that the disappearance of Malaysia
Airlines Flight 370
from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing is not accidental. In
fact, there is a strong
possibility that the flight was commandeered to
the US military base at
Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. A bizarre
“extraordinary
rendition“?
DIEGO GARCIA. The Secret U.S. Naval Base UPDATED 4/8 – Video
about Diego
Garcia Why did Flight 370 try to hide its
whereabouts?
MH370 was a 777-200 service carrying 239 passenger and crew
on a regular
Kuala Lumpur to Beijing service. To recap, it left KL at 12.40
am, it
disappeared as a commercial radar trace at 1.22 am close to the area
where such radar visibility to the Malaysia air traffic control system
drops off, and was never observed as entering Vietnam controlled air
space on a path intended to cross that country to the South China Sea
and continue past Hong Kong toward its destination.
The transponders
on Flight 370 was switched off immediately after it was
outside the
visibility of Malaysia’s air traffic control! To quote a
poster GarageYears
on a forum for professional pilots,
Turning off the transponder isn’t
just a toggle or push-button, the
switch is a rotary and you’d have to move
it two positions to get it
into the standby condition.
This could
only have been done by a compromised crew, or by hijackers.
To quote another
forum member Tfor2,
1. It was a hi-jack (transponder turned off, no
Mayday), and the plane
was not under the control of the pilots. It flew to
wherever was
demanded, and something happened thereafter causing it to
crash,
probably from an effort to regain control (as with United 93 during
events of 9/11). So it could be anywhere. An eye-witness will eventually
come forward.
2. The most fearsome worry to come out of this is how
come an aircraft
can invade national territory without military or civil or
satellite
detection? This leaves a hole in the defense systems of all
countries.
To quote a professional A330 pilot,
I think the flight
deck was compromised.
But that’s not the only sign that Flight 370 was
trying to hide its
whereabouts. Immediately after shutting off its
transponders, Flight 370
made a U-turn and headed in the direction of Diego
Garcia, crossing
Malaysia in the process. If there indeed had been a massive
technical
failure, the crew would have tried to safely ditch the plane at
sea, not
return to Malaysia. And if there had been a cabin decompression,
the
plane would have slowly lost altitude, crashing into the Gulf of
Thailand. Malaysia’s Air Force Chief General Rodzali Daud first raised
the possibility that the plane had reversed course the very next day
(9th March), and he was quoted by a Malay-language paper as saying the
jet had been tracked hundreds of miles from its intended flight path,
over the Strait of Malacca off western Malaysia, and up to 320
kilometres northwest of the Malaysian state of Penang, after which it
either disappeared or Malaysian radar lost capability to track it. It
was clearly flying low, as if to avoid detection by radar.
After
turning off its transponder, Flight 370 turned around and headed
to the
direction of Diego Garcia. [...]

To quote another poster Frenchwalker on the same aforementioned
forum,
Just to point out on some of the information provided by the
Malaysian
military last night around its last know position, more so around
the
fact the the aircraft descended to around 3000ft would this simply be to
maintain Visual Flight Rules , cloud base in Kuala Lumpur usually sits
between 3000ft and 10,000ft this would indicate the the person in
command certainly had control of the Aircraft
A possible flight path
of Flight 370, from where it was last observed on
radar in Penang, to Diego
Garcia.
If the plane was headed towards Diego Garcia (which is under
eight hours
of flying time from Kuala Lumpur), it would have been captured
on
Indonesian radars as well, and it was likely to have crossed over
Indonesia. But unlike Malaysia, Indonesia is a defacto Globalist client
state, and would immediately cover up such information. Australia also
has a sophisticated radar network, but we haven’t heard from them
either.
Apart from radar, there is also other “live” data associated with
commercial aircraft, which is not being discussed. To quote another user
of the forum Davionics,
Why has nobody confirmed/announced if there
were any transmissions sent
via SATCOM? Seems to be the elephant in the room
– the media currently
appears to have an unhealthy tunneled obsession with;
radar, ads-b,
voice comms, gps, black boxes, etc.
Surely ACARS and
engine telemetry data could shine a good dose of light
on this incredibly
sad fiasco.
Many aircraft today also have Panasonic Avionics
high-bandwidth
eXconnect GCS (Global Communications Suite) to augment
SATCOM.
Investigators have now confirmed that such live data indicated
that the
plane continued to fly even after its last radar contact. The just
won’t
tell us when the data transmissions ended (which would indicate when
the
flight landed). To quote,
“Throughout the roughly four hours
after the jet dropped from civilian
radar screens, these people said, the
link operated in a kind of standby
mode and sought to establish contact with
a satellite or satellites.
These transmissions did not include data, they
said, but the periodic
contacts indicate to investigators that the plane was
still intact and
believed to be flying.
Investigators are still
working to fully understand the information,
according to one person briefed
on the matter. The transmissions, this
person said, were comparable to the
plane “saying I’m here, I’m ready to
send data.”
And there is still
no word about the signals from monitoring systems
embedded in the plane’s
Rolls-Royce PLC engines, which would have
stopped when the plane
landed.
Diego Garcia is the strongest US military-air force base in the
Indian
Ocean. It served as a forwarding base in almost all American
conflicts
in the Gulf and in Afghanistan. It was also a transit venue for
the
infamous “extraordinary renditions.” It possesses formidable radar
capabilities, as well as several airstrips. And large hangars that can
hide aircraft. To quote a commenter on a pilot’s website who believed
the plane was in Diego Garcia,
My speculation is of this being a
super-duper, super-extraordinary form
of rendition.
And most
important of all, Diego Garcia has a staff who follow a code of
not asking
too many questions and keeping their eyes wide shut. Unlike
Malaysia, there
are no General Dauds in Diego Garcia, who would blurt
out what they saw on
military radar.

Good Times? Why Malaysia?
The presence of a large number
of Chinese passengers on board the doomed
flight is being used to strain
relations between Communist China and
Malaysia, and it may contribute to a
future deterioration of their
relationship, resulting in increased
justification of Chinese presence
in the region, and maybe even future
Chinese aggression. This may also
help explain why a Malaysian plane was
targeted, as opposed to an
Indonesian plane (Indonesia is already in the
hands of the Globalists,
and therefore never gets any brinkmanship from
Communist China, which is
a creation of the Globalists).
Malaysia is
probably the only country in the world whose recent
leadership has openly
criticized the IMF, Israel, the War on Terror and
made claims that 9/11 was
an Inside Job. Malaysia has a bustling
economy, but the Globalists prefer
plantation style economies, such as
neighbouring Indonesia, which is
completely under Globalist control.
Since Malaysia cannot be subject to the
so-called War on Terror unless
they start openly supporting Al-Qaida, the
only other alternative the
Globalists have is to feed it to China, and the
Panda will invite itself
for lunch, Al-Qaida or not.
Mainstream media
has repeatedly stressed at Chinese impatience with
Malaysian “incompetence.”
While it is true that the present mess would
not have been possible unless
many Malaysian officials were compromised,
so were many officials of other
governments involved in the search and
rescue efforts. And despite such high
level corruption, the deliberately
concealed fact that the plane had
reversed course and moved Westwards
did come out, albeit in a muffled way.
It is unlikely that such
disclosure would have ever happened in any of the
neighbouring
Globalist-dominated countries.
Compared to Globalist
dominated Indonesia, Malaysia has gotten away with
prosperity. But for how
long?
Other Odd Ends
* Initially there were reports of some
passengers who did not
board the plane, but then Malaysian authorities were
forced to “retract”
their statements. Passengers connected to the Global
Elite usually
receive advance warnings.
* Flight 370 had 20
employees of Texas based Freescale
Semiconductors. It would be interesting
to know what their latest
projects were. It is unclear whether or not the
company counted the NSA
among its clients. To quote Wikipedia on the
company,
In the 1960s, one of the U. S. space program’s goals was to land
a man
on the moon and return him safely to Earth [Not Quite!]. In 1968, NASA
began manned Apollo flights that led to the first lunar landing in July
1969. Apollo 11 was particularly significant for hundreds of employees
involved in designing, testing and producing its electronics. A division
of Motorola, which became Freescale Semiconductor, supplied thousands of
semiconductor devices, ground-based tracking and checkout equipment, and
12 on-board tracking and communications units. An “up-data link” in the
Apollo’s command module received signals from Earth to relay to other
on-board systems. A transponder received and transmitted voice and
television signals and scientific data.
[.......] and Motorola’s
MPC5200 microprocessor deployed telematic
systems for General Motors’ OnStar
systems.
[.......] In addition, a recent ABI Research market study report
states
that Freescale owns 60% share of the Radio Frequency (RF)
semiconductor
device market.
[.......] Also in 2011, Freescale
announced the company’s first
magnetometer for location tracking in smart
mobile devices.
* Confirmation of Iranian passengers travelling on
false European
passports. While they have been ruled out as hijackers, the
Powers That
Be sometimes do use Iranians for dirty work. There was also an
attempt
to portray them as favourably as possible.
* If a missile
destroyed Flight 370, the missile would have left a
radar signature (Thanks
to Mike Adams). [...]

out"

Malaysia
Airlines Flight 370 unofficial disappearance theories
[...] Diego
Garcia
Conspiracy theorists have suggested that MH370 was either captured
by
the United States and then flown to the United States' military base on
Diego Garcia[29] or that the plane landed at the base directly. The
latter theory was raised at a White House daily briefing on 18 March,
whereupon press secretary Jay Carney responded, "I'll rule that one
out."[30] Underpinning the Diego Garcia theory were several elements,
not only the purported area of the co-pilot cell contact and the plane's
westward turn, both of which were consistent with a flight path toward
the island, but also a message and image tied to a passenger. Shortly
after the disappearance a message was posted to the 4chan site reading,
"I have been held hostage by unknown military personal after my flight
was hijacked (blindfolded). I work for IBM and I have managed to hide my
cellphone in my ass during the hijack. I have been separated from the
rest of the passengers and I am in a cell. My name is Philip Wood. I
think I have been drugged as well and cannot think clearly."
The
accompanying photo's Exif data identified not only the iPhone and a
photo
time shortly preceding the transmission, but GPS coordinates
pinpointing a
building directly on Diego Garcia. It was claimed the
image was faked as at
least one version suggested manipulation by the
use of software package
Picasa,[31] though the Jim Stone Freelance site
claims it had an original
copy prior to a particularly severe hacking,
dismissed the variants as
shillage, provided a screenshot of the
original GPS coordinate readouts,
rejected the claim the concealment was
physically untenable, disproved the
counterclaims that Wood was never an
IBM engineer or on the plane (citing
passenger manifests and Wood's
LinkedIn profile), and cited a military
source to attest wireless cell
service in fact is available on Diego
Garcia.[32] In addition, a
screenshot was in circulation alleged to be taken
from the Diego Garcia
base website itself indicating that flight traffic on
Diego Garcia was
suspended for the 72 hours, effectively bracketing the time
at which the
plane would have landed.[33] [...]

Missing
Malaysia Airlines plane: Philip Wood’s lover Sarah Bajc gets
death threat,
FBI investigate
* by: Shoba Rao
* May 11, 2014
1:26PM
SINCE Flight MH370 vanished, life hasn’t been the same for one of
the
passengers’ girlfriends who’s been robbed, had a death threat and
bizarre telephone calls.
Sarah Bajc has revealed she has also been
robbed twice. But neither she
nor the FBI can explain how the series of
frightening incidents are
linked to her partner Philip Wood, who went
missing on the Malaysia
Airlines plane.
All she knows is that they
started after the plane went missing, and who
ever is behind the incidents
has left her very upset.
Bajc told NBC News she got an instant message
warning that “I’m going to
come and kill you next” about two weeks after
MH370 disappeared on March 8.
The phone calls came from a China-based
number, and once an FBI agent
assigned to help her and Wood’s family was
alerted to the strange calls,
they stopped.
A number of pornographic
images and phone calls were also received from
the samephone
number.
“It was just another straw on the camel’s back, very upsetting,”
Bajc
told NBC News.
Bajc claims the phone calls and messages started
after her apartment was
robbed for the first time, two weeks after MH370
officially went missing.
“Whoever came wasn’t very careful because I’m a
real neat freak, so it
was immediately apparent to me that some things had
been moved,” she said.
“My housekeeper was out of town so it couldn’t
have been her and I got
home before my son got back.
The password on
my safe had been reset which happens when you try the
wrong code three
times.”
“The second time was a couple weeks later and my neighbour saw
two
people leaving my apartment. I have no illusions of privacy here [in
Beijing].”
Bajc was preparing to move from Beijing to live with her
partner, a
50-year-old IBM Malaysia employee.

disappearance, two Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting
System (ACARS) reports had been automatically issued to engine
manufacturer Rolls-Royce's monitoring centre in the United Kingdom;[45]

aloft for four hours after its transponder went
offline.[46][47][48]
The following day, Hishammuddin Hussein, the acting
Malaysian Minister
of Transport, refuted the details of The Wall Street
Journal report
stating that the final engine transmission was received at
01:07 MYT,
prior to the flight's disappearance from secondary radar.[48] The
WSJ
later amended its report and stated simply that the belief of continued
flight was "based on analysis of signals sent by the Boeing 777's
satellite-communication link... the link operated in a kind of standby
mode and sought to establish contact with a satellite or satellites.
These transmissions did not include data..."[49][50]

received data from MH370, but US Govt gagged

US
'holding back' in MH370 search to avoid leaking intel to China
*
Want China Times Staff Reporter, Taiwan
* 2014-03-19
The United
States could be withholding information in the search for
missing Malaysia
Airlines flight MH370 out of fears that military or
technological secrets
could be leaked to China, reports iFeng, the
website of Hong Kong's Phoenix
Television. [...]
The iFeng report alleges that Boeing, the US
manufacturer of the plane,
and Rolls-Royce, its engine maker, had indeed
received flight-time
diagnostic data from the missing B777-200 for up to
four hours after it
disappeared as claimed by media reports last week, but
were prevented by
US authorities from divulging the information as it
contained military
secrets it wants to keep from China.
To avoid
being sanctioned by US authorities, Rolls-Royce and Boeing had
no choice but
to publicly deny holding the information, though at the
same time they
intentionally leaked their technological capabilities to
media outlets to
avoid damaging their prospects in the Chinese market,
iFeng
said.
According to the iFeng report, there is a precedent for why US
companies
are wary of releasing technical expertise to China. During the
1980s,
China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, the main
contractor
of the Chinese space program, cooperated with American aerospace
and
defense contractor Hughes Aircraft Company on satellite technology. When
the two sides exchanged information in the hope of determining why a
particular launch failed, the US company divulged key technical
knowledge to the Chinese company that helped the latter advance its
satellite technology by 10 years. The US government subsequently issued
heavy penalties against Hughes and put the entire industry on alert when
dealing with Chinese aerospace counterparts.
The US has therefore
deliberately taken a back seat in the investigation
into flight MH370
because it is concerned about demonstrating its
military and technological
might to rivals such as China, iFeng said.
The US should have by far the
most data on the whereabouts of the
missing plane as it has military bases
in Singapore, the Indian Ocean
and Thailans, the report said, adding that
the United States also uses
military radar in Afghanistan and Pakistan and
is an ally of Australia
in the south. Combined with its weather satellites,
marine satellites
and spy satellites, it is difficult to understand why the
US has not
taken the lead in the search and investigation, iFeng said.

By Peter Apps and Tim Hepher
Fri
Mar 28, 2014 7:28pm GMT
(Reuters) - The search for flight MH370, the
Malaysian jetliner that
vanished over the South China Sea on March 8, has
involved more than two
dozen countries and 60 aircraft and ships but been
bedevilled by
regional rivalries.
While Malaysia has been accused of
a muddled response and poor
communications, China has showcased its growing
military clout and
reach, while some involved in the operation say other
countries have
dragged their feet on disclosing details that might give away
sensitive
defence data.
That has highlighted growing tensions in a
region where the rise of
China is fuelling an arms race, and where several
countries including
China, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines are
engaged in
territorial disputes, with the control of shipping lanes, fishing
and
potential hydrocarbon reserves at stake.
The Malaysian Airline
jet, which disappeared en route from Kuala Lumpur
to Beijing, was last
officially detected hundreds of miles off course on
the wrong side of the
Malaysian peninsula.
As mystery deepened over the fate of the Boeing 777
and its 239
passengers and crew, most of them Chinese, it became clear that
highly
classified military technology might hold the key.
A
reluctance to share sensitive data appeared to harden as the search
area
widened.

least 4 hours

Did Malaysian plane fly toward Indian Ocean after last
contact?
Last Updated Mar 13, 2014 7:04 PM EDT
KUALA LUMPUR,
Malaysia -- Malaysian authorities expanded their search
for the missing
jetliner westward toward India on Thursday, saying it
may have flown for
several hours after its last contact with the ground.
CBS News
correspondent Bob Orr reports that there are technical
indicators suggesting
the plane continued to fly for an unspecified
period of time after civilian
air traffic controllers lost radar contact
with the jet. Sources say the
Boeing 777 continued to attempt to
transmit routine data about the plane's
engines and performance to
satellites. Malaysian authorities and Boeing
apparently did not downlink
the data, so details from plane's transmissions
are not known.
But, the fact that the jet was continuing to send signals
is a strong
indication that the jet did not crash immediately after radar
contact
was lost. The engines instead continued to run, Orr reports, meaning
the
plane continued in flight or perhaps was on the ground but still
producing power.
In addition, U.S. radar experts have looked at the
Malaysian military
radar track, which seemed to show the jet flying hundreds
of miles off
course west of its flight path, and back across the Malaysian
peninsula.
Sources say the radar appears to be legitimate and there is a
strong
reason to suspect that the unidentified blips - seen on military
controller screens - are images of Malaysian Airlines 370.
All of
this, Orr reports, is leading to the possibility that the jet
flew for hours
toward the Indian Ocean. And it is the reason the search
field is expanding
in that direction. [...]
The Wall Street Journal newspaper quoted U.S.
investigators on Thursday
as saying they suspected the plane remained in the
air for about four
hours after its last confirmed contact, citing data from
the plane's
engines that are automatically transmitted to the ground as part
of a
routine maintenance program.
"This opens up a whole host of new
questions," CBS News aviation and
safety expert Captain Chesley "Sully"
Sullenberger said on "CBS This
Morning."
"There's still much we don't
know," said Sullenberger, explaining that
only Boeing, or the manufacturer
of the engines on the aircraft, Rolls
Royce, could confirm or deny the
report.
Hishammuddin said the government had contacted Boeing and Rolls
Royce,
the engine manufacturer, and both said the last engine data was
received
at 1:07 a.m., around 23 minutes before the plane's transponders,
which
identify it to commercial radar and nearby planes, stopped
working.
Two sources close to the investigation told Reuters that Boeing
and
Rolls-Royce did not receive any maintenance data from the jet after the
point at which its pilots last made contact.
CBS News contacted Rolls
Royce twice on Thursday morning at the
company's U.K. headquarters. The
company refused to comment on the Wall
Street Journal
report.
Aviation experts tell CBS News the engine data would have been
transmitted to Malaysia Airlines ground control, and then possibly on to
Rolls Royce, by a decades-old system known as ACARS. The simple data
transmission system is widely used in commercial aviation, and sends
automated messages on virtually every operating system on an aircraft to
the ground at regular intervals.
According to an article in the New
Scientist, published on Tuesday, the
Boeing 777-200 that left Kuala Lumpur
for Flight 370 sent just two ACARS
data transmissions to the ground, one
just after takeoff and a second
after it reached cruising altitude. The
article did not mention any
further transmissions. [...]

Malaysian plane sent out engine data before vanishing
* 17:23 11
March 2014 by Paul Marks
The missing Malaysia Airlines jet sent at least
two bursts of technical
data back to the airline before it disappeared, New
Scientist has
learned. The data may help investigators understand what went
wrong with
the aircraft, no trace of which has yet been found.
To aid
maintenance, most airlines use the Aircraft Communications
Addressing and
Reporting System (ACARS), which automatically collates
and files four
technical reports during every flight so that engineers
can spot problems.
These reports are sent via VHF radio or satellite at
take-off, during the
climb, at some point while cruising, and on landing.
Malaysia Airlines
has not revealed if it has learned anything from ACARS
data, or if it has
any. Its eleventh media statement since the plane
disappeared said: "All
Malaysia Airlines aircraft are equipped with...
ACARS which transmits data
automatically. Nevertheless, there were no
distress calls and no information
was relayed."
This would suggest no concrete data is to hand. But New
Scientist
understands that the maker of the missing Boeing 777's Trent 800
engines, Rolls Royce, received two data reports from flight MH370 at its
global engine health monitoring centre in Derby, UK, where it keeps
real-time tabs on its engines in use. One was broadcast as MH370 took
off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, the other during the 777's
climb out towards Beijing. [...]

ROLLS-ROYCE has backed the
Malaysian government's dismissal of media
reports over the missing passenger
plane.
The reports suggested that engine data gathered by Rolls-Royce
showed
that the missing Malaysia Airlines jet may have flown on for hours
after
it vanished from radar screens.
On Thursday, The Wall Street
Journal ran a report claiming that US
aviation investigators and national
security officials believed the
plane flew for a total of five hours, based
on data automatically
downloaded and sent to the ground from the Boeing
777's Rolls-Royce engines.
Flight MH370, which was fitted with two
Derby-built Rolls-Royce Trent
800 engines, has been missing for more than a
week now. [...]
But Malaysian Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein was
quick to
dismiss the report, saying it was "inaccurate".
He said the
last transmission from the aircraft indicated that
everything was
normal.
He said: "Rolls-Royce and Boeing teams are here in Kuala Lumpur
and have
worked with the investigations team since Sunday.
"Whenever
there are new details, they must be corroborated. Since these
media reports,
Malaysia Airlines has asked Rolls-Royce and Boeing
specifically about this
data. As far as Rolls-Royce and Boeing are
concerned, those reports are
inaccurate."
In a statement, Rolls-Royce said: "Rolls-Royce concurs with
the
statement made on Thursday by Malaysia's Transport Minister Hishammuddin
Hussein regarding engine health monitoring data received from the
aircraft.
"Rolls-Royce continues to provide its full support to the
authorities
and Malaysia Airlines." [...]

Raytheon
and Air Force Demonstrate Civil-Military Interoperability for
GPS-Based
Precision Auto-Landing System.
MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire/
--
A government-industry team accomplished the first precision approach
by
a civil aircraft using a military Global Positioning System (GPS)
landing system on Aug. 25 at Holloman AFB, N.M., Raytheon Company (NYSE:
RTN) announced today. A FedEx Express 727-200 Aircraft equipped with a
Rockwell-Collins GNLU-930 Multi-Mode Receiver landed using a
Raytheon-developed military ground station. Raytheon designed and
developed the differential GPS ground station under an Air Force
contract for the Joint Precision Approach and Landings System (JPALS)
program. The JPALS system is being developed to meet the Defense
Department's need for an anti-jam, secure, all weather Category II/III
aircraft landing system that will be fully interoperable with planned
civil systems utilizing the same technology. Raytheon and the U.S. Air
Force have been conducting extensive flight testing for JPALS at
Holloman over the last three months. The FedEx Express 727-200 aircraft
at Holloman successfully conducted a total of sixteen Category I
approaches. After completing a number of pilot flown approaches for
reference the aircraft conducted six full autolands using the JPALS
ground station. "The consistency of the approaches allowed us to proceed
to actual autolandings with very little delay," said Steve Kuhar, Senior
Technical Advisor Flight Department for FedEx Express. The aircraft was
guided by differential GPS corrections, integrity information, and
precision approach path points transmitted from the Raytheon developed
JPALS ground station. Although the approaches were restricted to
Category I, accuracies sufficient to meet Cat II/III requirements were
observed. Raytheon is the world leader in designing and building
satellite-based navigation and landing solutions for civil and military
applications. In addition to developing JPALS for the Department of
Defense, Raytheon is also developing both the Local Area Augmentation
System (LAAS) and the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) for the
Federal Aviation Administration. The JPALS and LAAS will provide an
interoperable landing capability for military and civil applications.
"Raytheon is committed to developing and deploying satellite based
navigation and landing systems for the military and the flying public,"
said Bob Eckel, Raytheon vice president for Air Traffic Management. "We
understand the importance of this technology and are proud to be a part
of the success achieved this summer during JPALS testing at Holloman."
With headquarters in Lexington, Mass., Raytheon Company is a global
technology leader in defense, government and commercial electronics, and
business and special mission aircraft. [...]

MH370
search: Boeing has patent for autopilot tech
Sira Habibu
The
Star/Asia News Network
Saturday, Apr 12, 2014
PETALING JAYA - When
it was first speculated that Flight MH370 could
have been hijacked via
remote control access, many dismissed it as
far-fetched science
fiction.
But the technology to navigate planes, ships, trains, buses and
other
vehicles by remote control has been around for about a
decade.
The Boeing Company, the world's leading aerospace company and the
largest manufacturer of commercial jetliners and military aircraft, has
the technology.
It owns a patent for a system that enables remote
controlling of its
aircraft to counter hijacking attempts.
Boeing
applied for the patent for an "uninterruptible autopilot control
system"
about 11 years ago, and was awarded it in 2006.
The system can be
activated when the security of onboard controls are
jeopardised.
"The
method and systems of the present invention provide techniques for
automatically navigating, flying and landing an air vehicle," states the
report for the US patent number US7142971B2.
Once activated, an
aircraft could be automatically navigated, flown and
made to land without
input from anyone on board.
"Any onboard capability to supercede the
automatic control system may be
disabled by disconnecting the onboard
controls," states the report.
Power is provided to the automatic control
system "from an alternative
power control element that is inaccessible (to
anyone on board the
vehicle)".
According to the patent report,
control commands could be received from
a remote location and/or from
predetermined control commands stored on
board the plane.
Boeing
applied for the patent on Feb 19, 2003, barely two years after
the Sept 11
attack in which hijacked planes rammed into the World Trade
Centre, reducing
the gigantic buildings into rubble.
Eric D. Brown, Douglas C. Cameron,
Krish R. Krothapalli, Walter von
Klein Jr and Todd M. William invented the
system for Boeing. The patent
was awarded three years later on Nov 28,
2006.
When the automatic control system is activated, no one on board the
aircraft would be capable of controlling its flight.
The patent
report also states that a signal might be transmitted to at
least one remote
location from the plane to indicate that the
uninterruptible autopilot mode
of the air vehicle has been engaged.
The system includes a dedicated
communication link between the aircraft
and a remote location, distinct from
any communication link established
for other types of
communication.
According to an independent analyst James Corbett, the US
Federal
Aviation Administration had reported on the Federal Registrar last
November that the Boeing 777-200, -300 and -300ER aircraft were equipped
with an electronics security system to check unauthorised internal
access.

Emirates'
Clark Sees MH370 Investigation Deficiencies
Jun 3, 2014 Jens Flottau |
AWIN First
Emirates Airline President Tim Clark is demanding more
transparency in
the investigation of the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines
flight
MH370. "We are the largest operator of the Boeing 777 in the world. I
need to know how anybody could interdict our systems," Clark told
Aviation Week in an interview on the sidelines of the International Air
Transport Association's (IATA) annual general assembly in Doha, Qatar.
"Something is not right here and we need to get to the bottom of
it."
Clark criticized how the investigation into the disappearance of the
Malaysian Boeing 777 has been handled. "There have been many questions
unanswered or dealt with in a manner that is unacceptable to the
forensic nature of the inquiry." He believes that "this aircraft was
disabled in three primary systems. To be able to disable those requires
a knowledge of the system which even our pilots in Emirates don't know
how to do. Somebody got on board and knew exactly what they were up
to."
Clark also does not believe that the aircraft was not seen when it
flew
over land in Malaysia after its initial unplanned left turn. "The
notion
that the track of an aircraft going across the Malaysian peninsula
was
not picked up on primary radar, sorry, I don't subscribe to that
view."
The Emirates President is also skeptical about the industry
initiatives
on flight tracking. "We have never lost an aeroplane in 50
years, we
have always known where they are. Whoever was clever enough to
interdict
the system, will be able to interdict this one as well." To Clark,
tracking is not the main issue: "the first thing you need to do is do
not allow anybody on board to disable ACARS - job done."

Airlines flight MH370: Stricken plane was 'thrown around like a

Investigators now convinced that plane was

source claims
TOMAS JIVANDA
Sunday 13 April 2014
The
missing Malaysia Airlines flight was “thrown around like a fighter
jet” in a
bid to dodge radar detection after it disappeared, Malaysian
military
investigators reportedly now believe.
An unnamed source cited by The
Sunday Times added that officials are now
convinced that the plane was
“flown very low at a very high speed”.
The source concluded: “And it was
being flown to avoid radar.”
It is also possible that the flight surged
to 45,000 feet - 10,000 above
its normal cruising altitude of 35,000 feet -
after disappearing, before
dropping to as low as 5000 feet, reports by
investigators have suggested.
The low altitude would fit in with a report
by Malaysia’s New Straits
Times newspaper that co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid
tried to make a
mid-flight phone call shortly before the plane
disappeared.
In order for the phone signal to reach the reported
telecommunications
tower near the Malaysian city of Penang, the plane would
needed to have
been flying under 7000 feet.
The newspaper report said
the signal ended abruptly before contact was
established.

discovered possible new evidence of tampering with the
plane's cockpit
equipment.
A report released by Australian air crash investigators has
revealed
that the missing Boeing 777 suffered a mysterious power outage
during
the early stages of its flight, which experts believe could be part
of
an attempt to avoid radar detection.
According to the report, the
plane's satellite data unit made an
unexpected "log-on" request to a
satellite less than 90 minutes into its
flight from the Malaysian capital,
Kuala Lumpur, to the Chinese city of
Beijing. The reports says the log-on
request - known as a "handshake" -
appears likely to have been caused by an
interruption of electrical
power on board the plane.
"A log-on
request in the middle of a flight is not common," said the
report, by the
Australian Transport Safety Bureau. "An analysis was
performed which
determined that the characteristics and timing of the
logon requests were
best matched as resulting from power interruption."
David Gleave, an
aviation safety expert from Loughborough University,
said the interruption
to the power supply appeared to be the result of
someone in the cockpit
attempting to minimise the use of the aircraft's
systems. The action, he
said, was consistent with an attempt to turn the
plane's communications and
other systems off in an attempt to avoid
radar detection.
"A person
could be messing around in the cockpit which would lead to a
power
interruption," he said. "It could be a deliberate act to switch
off both
engines for some time. By messing about within the cockpit you
could switch
off the power temporarily and switch it on again when you
need the other
systems to fly the aeroplane."
Inmarsat, the company that officially
analysed flight data from MH370,
has confirmed the assessment but says it
does not know why the aircraft
experienced a power failure.
"It does
appear there was a power failure on those two occasions," Chris
McLaughlin,
from Inmarsat, told The Telegraph. "It is another little
mystery. We cannot
explain it. We don't know why. We just know it did it."
The Australian
report released by Australian authorities has revealed
that the Boeing 777
attempted to log on to Inmarsat satellites at
2.25am, three minutes after it
was detected by Malaysian military radar.
This was as the plane was
flying north of the Indonesian island of
Sumatra. The aircraft had already
veered away from the course that would
have taken it to its destination of
Beijing, but had not yet made its
turn south towards the Indian
Ocean.
The aircraft experienced another such log-on request almost six
hours
later, though this was its seventh and final satellite handshake and
is
believed to have been caused by the plane running out of fuel and
electrical power before apparently crashing, somewhere in the southern
Indian Ocean. The other five handshakes were initiated by the satellite
ground station and were not considered unusual.
Asked whether the
power interruption could have been caused by a
mechanical fault, Mr Gleave
said: "There are credible mechanical
failures that could cause it. But you
would not then fly along for
hundreds of miles and disappear in the Indian
Ocean."
Another aviation expert, Peter Marosszeky, from the University of
New
South Wales, agreed, saying the power interruption must have been
intended by someone on board. He said the interruption would not have
caused an entire power failure but would have involved a "conscious"
attempt to remove power from selected systems on the plane.
"It would
have to be a deliberate act of turning power off on certain
systems on the
aeroplane," he said. "The aircraft has so many backup
systems. Any form of
power interruption is always backed up by another
system.
"The person
doing it would have to know what they are doing. It would
have to be a
deliberate act to hijack or sabotage the aircraft."
An international team
in Malaysia investigating the cause of the crash
has not yet released its
findings formally, but has indicated it
believes the plane was deliberately
flown off course. The plane
disappeared on March 8 with 239 passengers
aboard but an international
air, sea and underwater search has failed to
find any wreckage.
The Australian report added that the plane appeared to
have flown on
autopilot across the Indian Ocean and that the crew and
passengers were
likely to have been unresponsive due to lack of oxygen
during the
southward flight.
It has recommended an underwater search
in an area about 1,100 miles
west of Australia, around the location where
the plane's seventh
"handshake" is believed to have occurred.
The
report also notes that the plane's in-flight entertainment system
delivered
a satellite message 90 seconds after the first power failure
but not after
the second failure hours later. This, it says, "could
indicate a complete
loss of generated electrical power shortly after the
seventh
handshake".
The new underwater search will begin in August and cover
about 23,000
square miles. It is expected to take up to a year.

Natural News reports the handshake/log-on as "cockpit tampering" to

Near-conclusive
evidence that Malaysia Airlines MH370 was hijacked:
cockpit tampering
deliberately hid plane from radar
Tuesday, July 01, 2014
by Mike
Adams, the Health Ranger
(NaturalNews) New evidence is now emerging that
Malaysia Airlines flight
370 was almost certainly hijacked. This is now
readily apparent from the
fact that the aircraft cockpit electrical systems
were tampered with,
reports the Telegraph. (1) [...]
How transponders
and squawk codes work
When aircraft clear departure at a large airport,
the departure
controllers give them a "squawk" code to enter into their
transponders.
Squawk codes are 4-digit codes such as 0251.
Once the
pilot enters this code into their transponder, Air Traffic
Control (ATC)
sees that squawk code number assigned to that plane's icon
on their radar
screen. Heading and altitude information will also be
shown next to the
squawk code.
A commercial airline pilot would never voluntarily turn off
their
transponder. Flying without a transponder not only makes you invisible
to ATC, it also makes you invisible to other nearby planes which can hit
you mid-air, especially when flying in or out of busy airport traffic
patterns. As a bonus, it also gets your commercial pilot's license
yanked by the FAA or other aviation authorities. Switching off a
transponder puts all the lives of the crew and passengers at
risk.
The fact that the MH370 transponder was switched off almost
certainly
means the airplane was hijacked by someone who knew how to hide
the
plane from radar. The plane was then flown for many hours afterward,
according to satellite signals. This also means there was a deliberate
attempt to transport the plane to another location, not to dump it in
the ocean as is thoughtlessly suggested by mainstream media. (Nobody
goes to the trouble of hiding a plane from ATC radar and flying it for
seven hours just to dump it in the ocean.)
The fact that the
transponder was powered off also means the hijacker(s)
were very technically
educated about aircraft and transponders. They
knew how to disable the
electrical subsystem, in other words. That takes
specialized knowledge that
"ordinary" hijackers wouldn't know.
Yet more proof of the hijacking:
emergency squawk codes were not used
Want even more proof that the plane
was hijacked and didn't just suffer
a radio communications failure of some
kind?
All commercial airline pilots are taught to memorize so-called
emergency
squawk codes. These include:
7500 Hijack in
progress
7600 Communications failure
7700 In-flight
emergency
7777 Military intercept
Had this plane suffered a com
failure that took out its radios, the
pilot would have simply squawked 7600
and ATC would have known the com
units had failed, but the plane could still
be flown.
Had the plane been hijacked by an "ordinary" hijacker with
little
aviation knowledge, the pilot could have covertly entered a squawk
code
of 7500, indicating a hijacking. This only requires entering the four
digits on a small keypad typically located near the Primary Function
Display (PDF).
IMMARSAT FALSE TRAILS
(31) MH370:
Australian navy admits it followed a false trail of pings

MH370:
Australian navy followed false trail in search for missing plane
May 30,
2014
The exposure of a false trail of pings has led to experts abandoning
a
search area identified as the final resting place of Malaysia Airlines
flight MH370, calling into question two months of search efforts.
The
area in the Indian Ocean became the focus of international attention
on
April 11 after the Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, announced he was
confident
signals had been detected from MH370's black box, narrowing
the search to an
850-square kilometre zone.
But on Thursday Deputy Prime Minister Warren
Truss went before
Parliament to say the ''pings'' were the best information
the government
had at the time but ''the area can now be
discounted''.
Mr Truss said a ''painstaking'' search of an area up to
60,000 square
kilometres would now follow an oceanographic survey of the sea
floor and
an extensive review of all data available surrounding the plane's
disappearance.
He made the announcement after Australian aviation
authorities declared
the plane was not in the Indian Ocean search zone where
the pings were
detected, and warned a revised search could take more than a
year.
''The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has advised that
the
search in the vicinity of the acoustic detections can now be considered
complete and in its professional judgment, the area can now be
discounted as the final resting place of MH370,'' the Joint Agency
Co-ordination Centre said on Thursday. [...]
The official word came
after a US Navy official told CNN this morning
that the pings are now
universally believed to have come from a man-made
source unrelated to the
missing jetliner, and not from the plane’s data
or cockpit voice
recorders.
Michael Dean, the Navy’s deputy director of ocean engineering,
said that
if the pings had come from the recorders, searchers would have
found them.
“Our best theory at this point is that (the pings were)
likely some
sound produced by the ship ... or within the electronics of the
Towed
Pinger Locator,” Dean said.
“Always your fear any time you put
electronic equipment in the water is
that if any water gets in and grounds
or shorts something out, that you
could start producing sound.”

Why
the Official Explanation of MH370's Demise Doesn't Hold Up
Outside
satellite experts say investigators could be looking in the
wrong
ocean.
ARI N. SCHULMAN
The Atlantic
MAY 8 2014, 8:00 AM
ET
Investigators searching for the missing Malaysian Airlines flight were
ebullient when they detected what sounded like signals from the plane's
black boxes. This was a month ago, and it seemed just a matter of time
before the plane was finally discovered.
But now the search of 154
square miles of ocean floor around the signals
has concluded with no trace
of wreckage found. Pessimism is growing as
to whether those signals actually
had anything to do with Flight 370. If
they didn't, the search area would
return to a size of tens of thousands
of square miles.
Even before
the black-box search turned up empty, observers had begun to
raise doubts
about whether searchers were looking in the right place.
Authorities have
treated the conclusion that the plane crashed in the
ocean west of Australia
as definitive, owing to a much-vaunted
mathematical analysis of satellite
signals sent by the plane. But
scientists and engineers outside of the
investigation have been working
to verify that analysis, and many say that
it just doesn't hold up. [...]
Inmarsat concluded that the flight ended
in the southern Indian Ocean,
and its analysis has become the canonical text
of the Flight 370 search.
It’s the bit of data from which all other
judgments flow—from the
conclusive announcement by Malaysia’s prime minister
that the plane has
been lost with no survivors, to the black-box search
area, to the high
confidence in the acoustic signals, to the dismissal by
Australian
authorities of a survey company’s new claim to have detected
plane wreckage.
Although Inmarsat officials have described the
mathematical analysis as
"groundbreaking," it's actually based on some
relatively straightforward
geometry. Here’s how it works: Every so often
(usually about once an
hour), Inmarsat’s satellite sends a message to the
plane’s communication
system, asking for a simple response to show that it’s
still switched
on. This response doesn’t specify the plane’s location or the
direction
it's heading, but it does have some useful information that
narrows down
the possibilities.
You can think of the ping math like a
game of Marco Polo played over
22,000 miles of outer space. You can’t see
the plane. But you shout
Marco, and the plane shouts back Polo. Based on how
long the plane takes
to respond, you know how far away it is. And from the
pitch of its
voice, you can tell whether it’s moving toward you or away from
you—like
the sound of a car on the highway—and about how fast.
This
information is far from perfect. You know how far the plane was for
each
ping, but the ping could be coming from any direction. And you how
fast the
plane is moving toward or away from you. It could also be
moving right or
left, up or down, and the speeds would sound the same.
The task of the
Inmarsat engineers has been to take these pieces and put
them together,
working backwards to reconstruct possible flight paths
that would fit the
data.
What’s the Frequency?
There are two relevant pieces of
information for each ping: the time it
took to travel from plane to
satellite, and the radio frequency at which
it was received. It’s important
to keep in mind that the transit times
of the pings correspond to distances
between satellite and plane, while
frequencies correspond to relative speeds
between satellite and plane.
And this part’s critical: Relative speed isn’t
the plane’s actual
airspeed, just how fast it’s moving toward or away from
the satellite.
Authorities haven't released much information about the
distances--just
the now-famous "two arcs" graphic, derived in part from the
distance of
the very last ping. But they've released much more information
about the
ping frequencies. In fact, they released a graph that shows all of
them:
Inmarsat
This graph is the most important piece of evidence
in the Inmarsat
analysis. What it appears to show is the frequency shifts or
"offsets"--the difference between the normal "pitch" of the plane's
voice (its radio frequency) and the one you actually hear.
{visit the
webpage to see the diagrams}
The graph also shows the shifts that would
be expected for two
hypothetical flight paths, one northbound and one
southbound, with the
measured values closely matching the southbound path.
This is why
officials have been so steadfastly confident that the plane went
south.
It seems to be an open-and-shut verdict of mathematics.
So it
should be straightforward to make sure that the math is right.
That’s just
what a group of analysts outside the investigation has been
attempting to
verify. The major players have been Michael Exner, founder
of the American
Mobile Satellite Corporation; Duncan Steel, a physicist
and visiting
scientist at NASA’s Ames Research Center; and satellite
technology
consultant Tim Farrar. They’ve used flight and navigation
software like STK,
which allows you to chart and make precise
calculations about flight
scenarios like this one. On their blogs and in
an ongoing email chain,
they’ve been trying to piece together the clues
about Flight 370 and make
sense of Inmarsat’s analysis. What follows is
an attempt to explain and
assess their conclusions.
What We Know
Although the satellite data
provides the most important clues about the
plane’s overall flight path,
they’re not the only clues available.
Authorities have some basic but
crucial additional information about the
flight that can help to make sense
of the satellite math:
1. The satellite’s precise coordinates
The
satellite in contact with Flight 370 was Inmarsat’s IOR satellite,
parked in
geostationary orbit above the Indian Ocean. The satellite is
meant to be
stationary, but its orbit has decayed somewhat, so that it
actually rotates
slightly around its previously fixed position. Its path
is publicly
available from the Center for Space Standards & Innovation.
2. The
plane’s takeoff time and coordinates
16:41 UTC from the Kuala Lumpur
airport.
3. The plane’s general motion toward or away from the
satellite
From radar tracking, we know the plane traveled northeast,
away from
the satellite, over the first 40 minutes after takeoff, then
westward,
toward the satellite, until 94 minutes into the flight, when it
was last
detected on radar. Inmarsat spokesmen have stated that the ping
distances got progressively longer over the last five hours of flight,
meaning that the plane was moving away from the satellite during that
time.
4. Two flight paths investigators think are consistent with the
ping data
In addition to the frequency shift graph, the Inmarsat report
includes a
map with two “Example Southern Tracks,” one assuming a flight
speed of
400 knots, the other a speed of 450 knots.
These bits of
knowledge allow us to put some basic constraints on what a
graph of the ping
frequency shifts should look like. We’ll use more
precise numbers later; for
now, it’s helpful just to have some
qualitative sense of what to
expect:
5. Frequency shifts that should all be negative
When the
plane is moving away from the satellite, the radio signal gets
stretched
out, so the frequency decreases. This means that the frequency
shifts should
be negative over most of the flight. Although there was an
approximately
one-hour period starting 40 minutes after takeoff when
radar showed the
plane moving westward, toward the satellite, the graph
shows that no pings
were sent during that time—so actually, all of the
shifts on the graph
should be negative.
6. Frequency shifts before takeoff that should be
near zero
Plotting the satellite’s path in STK, you can see that it moves
through
an ellipse centered around the equator. Space scientist Steel has
created this graphic of the satellite’s motion, including marks for its
position when the plane took off and when it last pinged the
satellite:
The satellite’s motion is almost entirely north-south, and the
plane’s
takeoff location in Kuala Lumpur is almost due east of the
satellite.
This means that the satellite was only barely moving relative to
Kuala
Lumpur, so the frequency shift for a plane nearly stationary on the
ground at the airport would be nearly zero.
7. Frequency shift graph
should match map of southbound flight paths
The way the Marc-Polo math
works is that, if you assume the plane
traveled at some constant speed, you
can produce at most one path north
and one path south that fit the ping
data. As the example flight paths
on Inmarsat’s map show, the faster you
assume the plane was moving
overall, the more sharply the path must arc away
from the satellite.
This constraint also works the other way: Since
flight paths for a given
airspeed are unique, you can work backwards from
these example paths,
plotting them in STK to get approximate values for the
ping distances
and relative speeds Inmarsat used to produce them. The
relative speeds
can then be converted into frequency shifts, which should
roughly match
the values on the frequency graph. (This is all assuming that
Inmarsat
didn’t plot the two example paths at random but based on the ping
data.)
We’ll put more precise numbers on this below.
The Troubled
Graph
But the graph defies these expectations. Taken at face value, the
graph
shows the plane moving at a significant speed before it even took off,
then moving toward the satellite every time it was pinged. This
interpretation is completely at odds with the official conclusion, and
flatly contradicted by other evidence.
The first problem seems rather
straightforward to resolve: the reason
the frequency shifts aren't negative
is probably that Inmarsat just
graphed them as positive. Plotting absolute
values is a common practice
among engineers, like stating the distance to
the ocean floor as a
positive depth value rather than a negative elevation
value.
But the problem of the large frequency shift before takeoff is
more
vexing. Exactly how fast does the graph show the plane and satellite
moving away from each other prior to takeoff? The first ping on the
graph was sent at 16:30 UTC, eleven minutes prior to takeoff. The
graphed frequency shift for this ping is about -85 Hz. Public records
show that the signal from the plane to the satellite uses a frequency of
1626 to 1660 MHz. STK calculations show the satellite’s relative motion
was just 2 miles per hour toward the airport at this time. Factoring in
the satellite’s angle above the horizon, the plane would need to have
been moving at least 50 miles per hour on the ground to produce this
frequency shift—implausibly high eleven minutes prior to takeoff, when
flight transcripts show the plane had just pushed back from the gate and
not yet begun to taxi.
On the other side of the frequency graph, the
plane’s last ping, at
00:11 UTC, shows a measured frequency shift of about
-252 Hz, working
out to a plane-to-satellite speed of just 103 miles per
hour. But the
sample southbound paths published by Inmarsat show the plane
receding
from the satellite at about 272 miles per hour at this
time.
In other words, the frequency shifts are much higher than they
should be
at the beginning of the graph, and much lower than they should be
at the
end. Looking at the graph, it’s almost as if there’s something
contributing to these frequency shift values other than just the motion
between the satellite and the plane.
Cracking the 'Doppler
Code'
Exner, an engineer who’s developed satellite and meteorology
technologies since the early 1970s, noted that the measured frequency
shifts might come not just from each ping’s transmission from plane to
satellite, but also from the ping’s subsequent transmission from the
satellite to a ground station that connects the satellites into the
Inmarsat network. In other words, Exner may have found the hidden source
that seems to be throwing off the frequency graph.
Inmarsat’s
analysis is highly ambiguous about whether the
satellite-to-ground
transmission contributed to the measured frequency
shift. But if it did, a
ground station located significantly south of
the satellite would have
resulted in frequency shifts that could account
for the measured shifts
being too large at the beginning of the graph
and too small at the end. And
sure enough, Inmarsat’s analysis states
that the ground station receiving
the transmission was located in Australia.
It’s possible to check the
theory more precisely. Public records of
Inmarsat ground stations show just
one in Australia: in Perth. Using
STK, you can precisely chart the
satellite’s speed relative to this
station, and, using the
satellite-to-ground signal frequency (about 3.6
GHz), you can then factor
the satellite-to-ground shifts out of the
frequency graph. Finally, you can
at last calculate the true
satellite-to-plane speed values.
The
results seem to be nearly perfect. For the first ping, you wind up
with a
satellite-to-plane speed of about 1 mile per hour—just what you’d
expect for
a plane stationary or slowly taxiing eleven minutes before
takeoff. This
finding seems to provide a basic sanity check for
interpreting the graph,
and led Exner to declare on Twitter, “Doppler
code cracked.” He produced a
new graph of the frequency shifts, shown
below. The gently sloping blue line
shows the shifts between the
satellite and the ground station in Perth,
while the dotted red line
shows the newly calculated satellite-to-plane
shifts:
to understand the Inmarsat analysis. But that just means that
Inmarsat’s
analysis, as it has been presented, remains deeply confusing, or
perhaps
deeply confused. And there are other reasons to believe that
Inmarsat’s
analysis is not just unclear but mistaken. (Inmarsat stands by
its
analysis. More on that in a minute.)
Recall that the Marco-Polo
math alone doesn’t allow you to tell which
direction pings are coming from.
So how could Inmarsat claim to
distinguish between a northern and southern
path at all? The reason is
that the satellite itself wasn’t stationary.
Because the satellite was
moving north-south, it would have been moving
faster toward one path
than another—specifically, faster toward a southbound
track than a
northbound one over the last several hours of the flight. This
means
that the frequency shifts would also differ between a northbound and
southbound path, as the graph shows with its two predicted paths.
But
this is actually where the graph makes the least sense. The graph
only shows
different predicted values for the north and south tracks
beginning at 19:40
UTC (presumably Inmarsat’s model used actual radar
before this). By this
time, the satellite was traveling south, and its
southward speed would
increase for the rest of the flight. The frequency
shift plots for northern
and southern paths, then, should get steadily
further apart for the rest of
the flight. Instead, the graph shows them
growing closer. Eventually, they
even pass each other: by the end of the
flight, the graph shows the
satellite traveling faster toward a
northbound flight path than a southbound
one, even though the satellite
itself was flying south.
One ping
alone is damning. At 19:40 UTC, the satellite was almost
motionless, having
just reached its northernmost point. The graph shows
a difference of about
80 Hz between predicted northbound and southbound
paths at this time, which
would require the satellite to be moving 33
miles per hour faster toward the
southbound path than the northbound
one. But the satellite’s overall speed
was just 0.07 miles per hour at
that time.
Inmarsat claims that it
found a difference between a southbound and
northbound path based on the
satellite’s motion. But a graph of the
frequency shifts along those paths
should look very different from the
one Inmarsat has produced.
Either
Inmarsat's analysis doesn't totally make sense, or it's flat-out
wrong.
[...]
For the last two months, I’ve been trying to get authorities to
answer
these questions. Malaysia Airlines has not returned multiple requests
for comment, nor have officials at the Malaysian Ministry of
Transportation. Australia’s Joint Agency Coordination Centre and the
UK’s Air Accidents Investigation Branch, which have been heavily
involved in the investigation, both declined to comment.
An Inmarsat
official told me that to “a high degree of certainty, the
proponents of
other paths are wrong. The model has been carefully mapped
out using all the
available data.”
The official cited Inmarsat’s participation in the
investigation as
preventing it from giving further detail, and did not reply
to requests
for comments on even basic technical questions about the
analysis.
Inmarsat has repeatedly claimed that it checked its model against
other
aircrafts that were flying at the time, and peer-reviewed the model
with
other industry experts. But Inmarsat won’t say who reviewed it, how
closely, or what level of detail they were given.
Until officials
provide more information, the claim that Flight 370 went
south rests not on
the weight of mathematics but on faith in authority.
Inmarsat officials and
search authorities seem to want it both ways:
They release charts, graphics,
and statements that give the appearance
of being backed by math and science,
while refusing to fully explain
their methodologies. And over the course of
this investigation, those
authorities have repeatedly issued confident
pronouncements that they’ve
later quietly walked back.
The biggest
risk to the investigation now is that authorities continue
to assume they’ve
finally found the area where the plane went down,
while failing to explore
other possibilities simply because they don’t
fit with a mathematical
analysis that may not even hold up.
After all, searchers have yet to find
any hard evidence—not so much as a
shred of debris—to confirm that they’re
looking in the right ocean.

(34) Claim of MH370
wreckage in Bay of Bengal obligates search;
Bangladesh sends

Claim
of possible Flight 370 wreckage obligates searchers to look,
experts
say
By Tom Watkins and Holly Yan, CNN
April 30, 2014 -- Updated
1842 GMT (0242 HKT)
* Bangladesh sends two frigates into the Bay of
Bengal to investigate
* "The investigators are going to be hard-pressed
to blow this
off," says aviation analyst
* More than 600 military
members from around the world end their
air search
* Crews will now
search a larger area of the ocean floor
(CNN) -- Even as they were
rejecting as far-fetched an Australian
company's assertion that it may have
identified the resting place of
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 -- thousands of
miles from where
investigators have been searching -- experts acknowledged
Wednesday that
they have little choice but to check it out.
"The
investigators are going to be hard-pressed to blow this off," said
Mary
Schiavo, a former inspector general for the Department of
Transportation. "I
think, at this point, because of the lack of results
where they've been
searching for six weeks, they're almost stuck. They
have to go
look."
The Adelaide-based firm GeoResonance has said that electromagnetic
fields captured by airborne multispectral images some 118 miles (190
kilometers) off the coast of Bangladesh in the Bay of Bengal showed
evidence of aluminum, titanium, copper and other elements that could
have been part of the Boeing 777-200ER, which disappeared from radar on
March 8 while en route from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing.
"The
company is not declaring this is MH370, however it should be
investigated,"
GeoResonance said Tuesday in a news release.
GeoResonance Managing
Director Pavel Kursa, citing intellectual property
concerns, would not
explain how the imaging works.
Nevertheless, the company got its wish on
Wednesday, when Bangladesh
sent two navy frigates into the Bay of Bengal to
the location cited by
GeoResonance. "As soon as they get there, they will
search and verify
the information," Commodore Rashed Ali, director of
Bangladesh navy
intelligence, told CNN in Dhaka.
The chief
coordinator of the Joint Agency Coordination Centre, retired
Chief Air
Marshal Angus Houston, held out little optimism that any such
search would
prove fruitful. He told Sky News International that the
search area in the
Indian Ocean had been set based on pings believed to
have emanated from one
or both of the plane's voice and data recorders.
"The advice from the
experts is that's probably where the aircraft lost
power and, somewhere
close to that, it probably entered the water."
CNN aviation expert Miles
O'Brien said GeoResonance's claims are not
supported by experts. "My blood
is boiling," he told CNN's "New Day."
"I've talked to the leading experts in
satellite imaging capability at
NASA, and they know of no technology that is
capable of doing this. I am
just horrified that a company would use this
event to gain attention
like this."
He called on company officials to
offer "a full explanation" for their
assertion, which he said appeared to be
based on "magic box" technology.
Sending investigators to the Bay of
Bengal would draw away from the
limited resources that are focused in the
southern Indian Ocean, O'Brien
said.
But that won't stop them from
going, he predicted. "I think they have
to," he said. "It's a public
relations thing now."
David Gallo, director of special projects at the
Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institution, also expressed skepticism. "It's so
revolutionary, and I don't know anyone that knows of this kind of
technology," he told CNN. "And I know most of the people in this
business."
'We were being ignored'
The company's director, David
Pope, said he had not wanted to go public,
but did so only after his
information was disregarded.
"We're a large group of scientists, and we
were being ignored, and we
thought we had a moral obligation to get our
findings to the
authorities," he told CNN's "New Day" on
Tuesday.
GeoResonance's technology was created to search for nuclear,
biological
and chemical weaponry under the ocean's surface or beneath the
earth in
bunkers, Pope said.
And the company's news release said its
search technology was reliable.
"In the past, it had been successfully
applied to locate submersed
structures, ships, munitions and aircraft," it
said. "In some instances
objects that were buried under layers of silt could
not be identified by
other means."
The company began its search four
days after the plane went missing and
sent officials initial findings on
March 31, Pope said. It followed up
with a full report on April 15, which it
would not make public.
"We only send our report to Government authorities
as it contains the
exact coordinates of what we believe to be the wreckage
of an aircraft,"
Pope said Wednesday in an e-mail.
By going public
with their conclusion, if not their data, the company
says it hopes it will
spur officials to take its claim seriously.
Malaysian authorities
contacted GeoResonance on Tuesday and were "very
interested, very excited"
about the findings, Pope said.
Inmarsat, the company whose satellite had
the last known contact with
MH370, remains "very confident" in its analysis
that the plane ended up
in the southern Indian Ocean, a source close to the
MH370 investigation
told CNN.
The Inmarsat analysis is "based on
testable physics and mathematics,"
the source said, and has been reviewed by
U.S., British and Malaysian
authorities as well as an independent satellite
company.

investigating
aircraft wreckage in Bay of Bengal

Missing
Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370: Why isn't Bay of Bengal Wreckage
Being
Explored?
By Samantha Payne
July 2, 2014 17:45
BST
A geophysical survey company has slammed the Australian authorities
for
failing to investigate aircraft wreckage in the Bay of Bengal while the
search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370
continues.
Australian firm GeoResonance has called the Australian
Transport and
Safety Bureau (ATSB), "ignorant" and "slanderous" for not
exploring an
aircraft wreck it identified via its satellites, 190km south of
the
Bangladesh coastline.
While GeoResonance has never claimed the
discovery is missing MH370, it
argues the wreck is a lead that still "must
be thoroughly followed through".
GeoResonance says on its website that it
offers a unique and proven
method of geophysical survey that detects
electromagnetic fields from
various chemical elements.
In a statement
this week, the firm said: "The main reason for ignoring
the location is the
Australian Transport and Safety Bureau [ATSB]
Chairman Martin Dolan making a
statement that GeoResonance methodology
cannot do what we claim.
“The
families and friends of those on board MH370 are dismayed that
Inmarsat
admitted the raw data released was only enough to prove their
original
model”
"This is without ever having anyone contacting GeoResonance for a
technical presentation. This slanderous and ignorant statement by a
senior public servant is unfathomable when GeoResonance regularly
produces accurate results for commercial clients around the
globe."
The firm also criticised British satellite company Inmarsat, for
releasing only the data that confirmed its 'seventh arc' theory instead
of publishing all of the raw data to explore alternative
locations.
"The families and friends of those on board MH370 are dismayed
that
Inmarsat admitted the raw data released was only enough to prove their
original model", the GeoResonance statement said.
"Everyone was
expecting all of the raw data to be released which would
have allowed
alternative models to be created. This could have shown up
any errors that
may exist in the original model which "assumes" MH370
ended up in the
Southern Indian Ocean."
GeoResonance questions why Australian radar – the
Jindalee Operational
Radar Network (JORN) - did not detect the Boeing 777,
given the theory
that it crashed into the Southern Indian Ocean.

GeoResonance Press Release of June 30, 2014
http://georesonance.com/20140630
Press Release.pdf
GeoResonance Press Release
June 30,
2014
The staff at GeoResonance are not prone to conspiracy theories, we
all
deal with facts and science. It appears some of the authorities involved
in the search have not been completely transparent with all of the
facts. The MH370 tragedy has created more world interest than any event
since 9/11, under those circumstances 100% transparency is a must. There
are many unanswered questions.
The families and friends of those on
board MH370 are dismayed that
Inmarsat admitted the raw data released was
only enough to prove their
original model. Everyone was expecting all of the
raw data to be
released which would have allowed alternative models to be
created. This
could have shown up any errors that may exist in the original
model
which "assumes" MH370 ended up in the Southern Indian
Ocean.
Many people are asking why the Australian over the horizon radar
Jindalee Operational Radar Network (JORN) did not see MH370. The map
below showing the JORN range is taken from an Australian Air Force fact
sheet on JORN
(https://www.airforce.gov.au/docs/JORN_Fact_Sheet.pdf):
Figure 1. JORN
radar locations and coverage
On 26th of June 2014, the
Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss presented
the latest search area in the
Southern Indian Ocean: Figure 2. New MH370
search zone
{http://www.jacc.gov.au/media/releases/2014/june/mr052.aspx}
It is clear
if MH370 did fly along or land on the assumed Inmarsat
Southern arc flight
path, then JORN would have seen it to the North/West
and West of Australia.
One report suggests the Laverton based radar may
have been looking North for
Asylum seekers arriving by boat. If this is
reality it would have been
looking to the North and West of Christmas
Island as that is where nearly
all boats head to or past when making for
Australia from Indonesia. No
matter which direction the Laverton radar
was looking whether North or West,
it should have seen a large
commercial aircraft on the assumed Southern arc.
Angus Houston
representing JACC and Martin Dolan Chairman of ATSB have
stated numerous
times the Inmarsat model of a Southern arc is a fact. Family
members and
experts are asking the Australian authorities why JORN did not
see MH370
if the Southern arc is indeed a fact. They have been given flawed
logic
on radar direction, but mainly silence. Independent investigators will
be asking the Australian Government many questions on this topic.
The
families are asking why some commercial cargo remains unidentified.
Considering the scale of this tragedy all details must be released. The
families want to know why the Malaysian Government would withhold such
crucial information.
The families also would like to know why Rolls
Royce will not release
the data on pings sent from MH370 at: 2:25am, 2:27am
and 8:19am. The
pings at 2:25am and 2:27am are out of the ordinary, as pings
should
normally be sent every hour only unless there is a problem with an
engine. The data would normally include engine performance details as
well as other aircraft data.
GeoResonance stands by its claim that we
have located what appears to be
the wreck of an aircraft 190km South of the
Bangladesh coastline in
1,000 to 1,100 metres of water. We have never
claimed this to be MH370,
however it is a lead that must be thoroughly
followed through. It has
been confirmed that the precise location supplied
by GeoResonance to all
authorities involved in the search for MH370 has not
been searched. The
main reason for ignoring the location is the Australian
Transport and
Safety Bureau (ATSB) Chairman Martin Dolan making a statement
that
GeoResonance methodology cannot do what we claim. This is without ever
having anyone contacting GeoResonance for a technical presentation. This
slanderous and ignorant statement by a senior public servant is
unfathomable when GeoResonance regularly produces accurate results for
commercial clients around the globe.
GeoResonance staff wish all of
the families and friends of those on
board MH370 all the best in the
continued search for their loved ones.

Adelaide
company GeoResonance to use former Soviet Union weapons
technology to search
for for oil and gas in SA, Qld
* by: Valerina Changarathil

The Advertiser, Adelaide, April 29, 2013 11:30PM
NUCLEAR magnetic
resonance technology used by the former Soviet Union
defence forces to
detect biological and chemical weapons will be a key
tool in the latest oil
and gas efforts of Adelaide mining identity Carl
Dorsch.
Mr Dorsch
has bought two tenements totalling 1200sq km to explore for
oil and
conventional and unconventional gas.
He was formerly the managing
director of Adelaide Energy, which was
taken over by Beach Energy in
2011.
One tenement is in the Cooper Basin in South Australia and the
other
bigger one is in the Surat Basin in Queensland and will be assets in a
new entity owned by Mr Dorsch once the transaction formalities have been
completed.
A chance meeting with Adelaide exploration technology
company
GeoResonance managing director Pavel Kursa led to a formal
partnership,
which will see GeoResonance put its technology to the test in
Australia
for the first time.
GeoResonance has exclusive access to
demilitarised technology now owned
by the Sevastopol National University of
Nuclear Energy and Industry in
Ukraine, Mr Kursa said.
Under the
agreement, GeoResonance will first process satellite imagery
of the area to
identify the presence of hydrocarbons - the components
found in oil and gas
- and follow it up with an on-site survey.
"Our remote sensing
proprietory technology will help us process existing
multispectral images
and identify these deposits if they exist," Mr
Kursa said. [...]
Mr
Kursa said the technology had been used in Indonesia, UAE, Iran and
Congo to
find other resources.
Adelaide-based David Pope and Perth-based Peter Fox
are joint partners
in GeoResonance, which is also supported by SA finance
specialist Max
Harris.
(38) Oil rig worker loses job after MH370
'fire in the sky' report

Missing
Malaysia Airlines flight: Oil rig worker Mike McKay loses job
after MH370
'fire in the sky' report
June 9, 2014
Reports from an oil rig
worker who saw a fire in the sky on the night
Malaysia Airlines flight 370
disappeared are being taken seriously,
police sources have
confirmed.
But New Zealander Mike McKay, 55, has lost his job in the
''circus''
that developed after his report to authorities was
leaked.
Mr McKay had been working on the Songa Mercur oil rig in the
South China
Sea when he saw an ''orange light'' on an especially clear
night.
The object was still in one piece and close to where MH370 first
dropped
off radar between Malaysia and Vietnam on March 8 with 239
Advertisement
He emailed his employer and Vietnamese authorities about
his sighting,
but his statement was leaked, which included his full name,
email,
passport number, and full details of the company operating the
rig.
In the ensuing media storm, Mr McKay said the Japanese-based
petroleum
company, Idemitsu, was flooded with emails and he was taken off
the rig.
He is now unemployed and disappointed his efforts at reporting
potentially vital information turned into such a circus.
''I was only
trying to privately help,'' he told Fairfax Media during a
series of
interviews.
''If it was the aeroplane I saw, then it must have been an
external
fire. How far would an aeroplane stay in the air after such a
fire?''
Mr McKay has worked in oil and gas exploration for more than 30
years,
mostly in Southeast Asia, but returned to his native New Zealand
while
waiting for more work.
His initial statement described what he
believed to be an aircraft on
fire at a high altitude. The fire burned
itself out in about 10 to 15
seconds and he gave an exact location based on
his position on the oil
rig platform.
''There was no lateral
movement, so it was either coming toward our
location, stationary (falling)
or going away from our location,'' he wrote.
His sighting, however,
appeared to be quickly discounted as one of the
many hoaxes and false leads
which have hampered the three-month
international search effort.
Mr
McKay's reluctance to go public, and his complete lack of an internet
presence, also raised doubts about the credibility of the report, which
began on social media and gained traction largely through MH370
conspiracy theory websites.
But Fairfax Media tracked down the oil
industry worker and confirmed
with two police sources that he is being
treated as a truthful and
credible witness.
He was interviewed at
length about his sighting at a police station near
Auckland and his
statement has since been forwarded to Malaysian
authorities. [...]

Malaysia
MH370: Who has means & motive to take a plane full of
people?

by the
BBC, Tony Gosling is a British land rights activist, historian &
investigative radio journalist.
Published time: April 04, 2014

Enough in the way of misstatements, contradictions and other
evidence
has emerged from the developing story of 'lost' Malaysian Airlines
flight 370 to form a case for its disappearance being orchestrated by
the West's Military Industrial Complex. [...]
First on Thursday,
March 13, came Rolls Royce's surprise announcement
that the Boeing 777's two
Trent engines had been running for five or so
hours after the plane was
'lost'. Then on Tuesday, March 18, came
reports from a small Maldives
newspaper 'Haveeru' that half a dozen
islanders had first heard and then
seen a 'jumbo jet' flying very low.
To quote the paper: "They said that it
was a white aircraft, with red
stripes across it - which is what the
Malaysia Airlines flights
typically look like, and it was heading in a
southerly direction."
Both these stories were greeted in the
international press by an
avalanche of denials from government, military and
other 'expert'
sources, none of whom could possibly have known whether or
not the Rolls
Royce or the Maldives Islanders were correct or not. This
massive and
instantaneous reaction is the clear signature of an Information
Operations campaign to stop publication and broadcasting of those
stories to the world's public and it largely worked.
In the case of
Rolls Royce, a retraction was even extracted from the
engine manufacturers
which the next day was forgotten, because the
evidence Rolls Royce had was
so robust and watertight. Far fewer
individuals are killed, so the military
argue, by the use of lies to win
over a population than with guns, bombs and
tanks. Quite right they are too.
But what happens when journalists who
are better at telling the truth
than they are at lying are surreptitiously
assassinated, as is widely
believed to be the case with Rolling Stone
journalist Michael Hastings?
He had told the truth about US Afghan General
Stanley McChrystal and got
him sacked from the top post.
Hastings was
about to expose the new head of the CIA director John
Brennan who is an
advocate for using US Army Information Operations
(I-Ops) Psychological
Warfare cells against domestic US journalists and
politicians. It's widely
believed, including by former White House
cyber-security adviser Richard
Clarke said that Michael's Mercedes was
'consistent with a car cyber
attack', or hacked. Accelerated to
breakneck speed then steered into a tree
where it exploded and he died.
With MH370 we have two clear examples of
hard evidence where military
style 'news management' or information warfare'
appears to be the only
explanation for cascades of malicious news stories
spreading at the
speed of light around the worlds news-wires designed to
kill what may
well be the truth stone dead.
Similarities to the 9/11
attacks and Britain's role
The bizarre zigzag routes followed by MH370
are exactly the sort of
flight path demonstrated during the September 11
attacks. On 9/11 we saw
the same mysterious switching off, whether remotely
or by the pilots, of
transponders which should have been reporting the
planes' speed,
altitude and position to air traffic control. If anything,
the 777 is
even more liable to cyber hijacking than the 767s involved in the
9/11
attacks. It was the first production aircraft to have no controls by
which the pilot has direct influence over any part of the aircraft. It's
all via the flight management system.
Britain's role too has not been
entirely as an honest broker. Private
military connected firm Inmarsat have
given impressive looking maps
instructing rescuers where to search, but
consistently failed to reveal
the raw data which, they say, led to those
conclusions. The UK Air
Accident Investigation Branch too has given expert
advice without
fleshing out the full reasons for its conclusions.
On
the other hand, Rolls Royce is the star of the piece, exposing an
enormous
flaw in the initial 'lost plane' theory: that MH370 flew on for
over five
hours. Airliners in trouble simply do not fly on for five
hours and then
plunge into the sea.
In the land where, as of last week, friends and
family are prohibited
from sending Bibles to their loved ones in prison,
nothing in the way of
barbarism from our real leaders across the Atlantic,
now entirely
contemptuous of the world and citizenry they are supposed to
serve,
would surprise me.

http://www.stormfront.org/forum/t1044524/
05-31-2014, 11:50 PM
Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777-200ER Flight
MH370
Let us consider firstly the Aircraft and the installed
systems.
1) Engines Rolls Royce Trent 895 the 94,300 lbs. thrust engines
fitted
to this model.
2) Maximum range 7,725 miles
3)
Radio/Radar/ communications devices. VHF and UHF radios/ Satellite
repeaters/ 4 Search and rescue beacon transmitters placed in the
aircraft extremities/ Flight Data recorder with search beacon
transmitter / cockpit voice recorder with search beacon
transmitter/Passive radar transponder transmitter/ Active radar
detectable from the ground Doppler weather and anti-collision
radars/Satellite transmitters for 2 ACAS systems for Boeing and Rolls
Royce/Satellite repeater radio for onboard mobile phones passenger seat
phones
4) 440 life jacket beacons activated by sea water./440
floatation
devices seat cushions/ Life rafts capable of carrying ALL the
passengers
and crew, this aircraft was cleared for extended flight over
water and
as such, rafts are an FAA requirement for
certification!
Let me first dispense with all the outlandish theories put
forward.
a) Alien abduction promoted by the media to muddy the waters,
with nonsense!
b) Shot down by the US navy exercise with Thailand in the
South china
/Gulf of Thailand, the book with this explanation should be
placed in
the fiction section of the Library. This does not explain how it
took 15
mins. to lose all communications or why the ACAS system continued to
function for a further five hours after communications and transponder
signal loss, or why systems were deliberately disabled, it does not
explain how Penang Radar tracked this aero plane out at least 40 miles
on a westward heading into the Eastern Indian Ocean, or why the SARS
beacons on the extremities such as the very top of the vertical
stabilizer or the opposite wing tip away from the missile hit, did not
activate! I think we can dispense with this load of old cobblers!
Missiles carry approx. 9 lbs. of explosives, incapable of completely
destroying an aircraft of this size in flight.. And finally none of the
floatation devices or Life rafts were seen in this area. By the way the
life rafts automatically deploy nd inflate on deployment on ditching in
water!.
c) MH370 Landed in Australia /Pakistan/Iran and other
ridiculous
scenarios, this Machine would have to have been super stealth to
have
accomplished this feat avoiding all the various military Radars. From
Australia, India, Diego Garcia, The US and Royal Navy boats over the
horizon radars etc. etc.
Let me now turn to the published media cover
up, real evidence what we
have been told officially
1) The Active
communications systems were turned off over a period of at
least 15 minutes!
Only someone with a clear knowledge of the aircraft
systems and the location
of the equipment/switch gear would know how to
achieve this aim including
the pilots. If the pilots were responsible
for this gradual disablement of
the systems why did it take 15 minutes?
2) The Aircraft did not reverse
course it flew directly westwards and
rapidly descended how come none of the
passengers used the onboard
mobile phone system to contact anyone? Why would
the Co-pilot connect
only briefly with the Penang mobile system towers when
there is a
satellite repeater on board; that boosts mobile phone signals and
relays
them through a Satellites link it does not require ground based
towers!
3) Rolls Royce made the initial announcement that the engines
were
communicating via ACAS satellites systems for 5 + hours after the
initial disappearance what caused Rolls Royce to clam up about what they
knew? US threats? No more engine sales into the US market
maybe?
From my perspective as an aviator Rolls Royce knows exactly where
this
Flight landed but are saying nothing!
4) The Pilot practiced
landing at a military airfield Diego Garcia using
his private simulator we
are told seven times but hey who knows how many
practice landings he
accomplished. Bearing in mind his marital problems
I wonder how many US
dollars it would take to get him to acquiesce in
the US navy hijacking via
the global hawk system and the NSA back doors
in the fly by wire computers?
There is now a scheme to take over an
aircraft to prevent genuine hijackers
successfully completing their
mission by taking remote control in this very
fashion!
5) Why would the Aircraft be hijacked and flown to a secret safe
landing? Let me see what we know there were 21+ free-scale employees on
board working for the Chinese branch of this cyberspace/cyber warfare
company designing and developing computer hardware we also know there
was an IBM exec on board. Along with a considerable amount of cargo
which was destined for Beijing ,it is reported there was a newly
developed chip amongst the cargo apparently this chip was designed and
programmed to take control of any computer system in which it was
inserted or had communications with a massive military prize for China.
And definitely not what the Pentagon would approve of!
6) With this
Aircraft and these engines to ditch in the sea would be
very hazardous, when
coming into land on the surface then engines being
lower than the fuselage
would make contact with the water first the
addition drag from the sea water
would cause a rapid nose down attitude
the nose would dig in and the
aircraft cartwheel until it broke into a
million pieces. Wreckage beacon
clearly visible and heard. With there
being so many items on board that
float and transmit in such a scenario.
7) Taking the Radar tracking at
Penang the heading the timing of the
engine runs the fuel load the height
variations distances from
disappearance to Beijing or to Diego Garcia that
being 3,700 kilometers
and 3,100 kilometers respectively this cushion of
around 500 to 600 or
so kilometers would allow the plane to fly low for the
journey past most
radar consuming more fuel before climbing to altitude to
create fuel
efficiency once again for their flight to Diego
Garcia..
8) Climbing to 44,000 feet it was claimed was to suffocate the
passengers a completely unnecessary maneuver, depressurizing at its
cruising altitude of 35,000 would have done the job. However when
depressurized all the cabin oxygen masks would have dropped giving the
passengers 15 to 20 minutes to take some action. No!! The real reason
for the climb was to be above the air lanes! without their
Doppler/anti-collision radar active they would be in danger but at
44,000 feet they have a minimum height separation of 3,000 feet and
avoid any chance of midair collision.
