Diego Garcia MH370 Conspiracy Theory

  • Obviously fabricated disinformation, but it may point to who really stole the plane

  • NEWS2VIEW  7 days ago

    The FBI may have found nothing suspicious but two weeks ago the Malaysian press reported something that the US media scarcely mentioned: that the deleted flight sim files contained desert landing strips, including those over the Maldives and the U.S. outpost at the atoll Diego Garcia. That's pretty suspicious to me! In addition, witnesses in boats and on islands in the Maldives report seeing a low-flying jumbo jet, some even reporting it to local police! Those accounts were plowed under with the news that wreckage may have been spotted near Perth, AU, which is where the focus has been ever since. They can't get any further away from where the witness reports suggested if they tried.
    If the FBI says there is nothing suspicious than why not clear the contradiction between their findings and those reported in Malaysia, which seemingly implicated the pilot? Here in the U.S., there was just two or three stories that appeared briefly, one of them here on ABC News, indicating that Diego Garcia may be a place of interest. Cable news broadcasters such as CNN never reported this angle, as far as I know though. With every other wild theory and would-be lead the topic of intense 24/7 scrutiny on cable news, what you have to find odd is when one possibility of the many they were willing to entertain goes largely unmentioned. Diego Garcia came up briefly and didn't acquire all the frenzy every other lead generated. Perhaps that is not surprising, however. Diego Garcia is a highly-protected military installation with some of the best radar technology in the region. For all we know, base commanders scrambled and intercepted MH370 and, unable to raise them on radio and aware that the transponder was not operating, shot the flight down for intruding on protected airspace. There's no way to know if that happened, of course, but the fact that it is the one question not seriously broached by the 24/7 news coverage of this missing flight suggests that something is amiss.
    Thanks to the fact that the search has gone everywhere BUT there, any nation or military entity with concern that the Malaysian aircraft no longer was operating the transponder, had deviated from the flight path and might be under hostile control would have had plenty of time to shoot the jet down and clean up the evidence (between cloud cover and ocean garbage even the best satellite intel can't uncover everything). Moreover, it's not like shooting down a passenger jet is unheard of, as horrifying as the thought may be. After the first plane struck the WTC on 9/11 no less than President Bush (per his memoirs), called for any other rogue aircraft to be shot down that day. Had the aircraft in PA not been taken down by its passengers in route, presumably, to the White House, U.S. military would have brought it down. That's why we cannot rule out that it happened here — and that IF it happened it would be a grave embarrassment a largely classified military installation would hardly wish to take responsibility for.
    Diego Garcia is a strategic asset in the wars America has fought in the mideast, and allegedly a location where terrorism suspects have been interrogated. Without evidence of a crash site it cannot be proven that MH370 crashed at all. The aircraft could have put down somewhere or been shot down, both of which would explain why all leads thus far have amounted to nothing. What's telling here is that the media has jumped on every other lead, no matter how vague (or later retracted), but where are the infographics on CNN and the news websites showing conducive landing strips in the various flight-path regions these past couple of weeks? They're not saying, and that says everything!

      Here is why people believe the US hijacked this plane.
      1. The Russian "GRU" released its intelligence report, containing this information.
      They had received a tip of highly suspicious cargo boarded on the MV-Maersk which was being protected by two former Navy Seals working for Trident Group, Mark Daniel Kennedy and Jeffrey Keith Reynolds. Both of these men were found dead within 24hours of offloading this cargo. This cargo was loaded on Flight 370 this caused the VKO (russian aerospace defense forces) to immedietly track it via sattelite during its entire flight.
      According to the Kremlin the Chinese Government had made plans to divert the flight via AC from Beijing to HAK, this never happened as the Russians observed, upon entering PLA flyzone the plane diverted course and landed on the US Navy Base DIEGO GARCIA. Russia is perplexed as why US media outlets are not demanding the US radar plots and satellite images of the INDIAN OCEAN and South China Sea Regions which is under surveillence 24/7 due to vital shipping and air lanes.
      Within 24 hours of landing 4 separate flights have landed on Diego Garcia containing top American and Chinese disease scientists and experts.




    Diego Garcia theorists hate the USA and Israel - perhaps the real culprit also hates the USA and Israel

    I still think it landed on Diego Garcia where the passengers were disposed of, refueled, re-painted with a different airline logo, and continued to Israel or another terrorist country.
    Just my opinion based on my observations of terrorist countries like Israel and the United States.

              Poitras is the reporter who along with Guardian columnist Glenn Greenwald began breaking stories of bulk domestic and international NSA surveillance at the beginning of the summer. I first met her one year ago at a hacker’s conference in Manhattan, where she was intently focused on filming NSA whistle-blower William Binney for a new documentary on leaks and government surveillance. It was Poitras whom the source of this summer’s NSA reports, Booz Allen Hamilton contractor-turned-whistle-blower and fugitive Edward Snowden, contacted when he failed to get Greenwald to take him seriously. Snowden had read an article by Greenwald saying the U.S. had detained Poitras more than 40 times at airports for interrogations related to her work. I

                Can anyone rule out the possibility that the aircraft failed to respond to an intercept as it neared Diego Garcia prompting a shoot-down response because it failed to respond to radio calls? Perhaps the crew was no longer in control due to terrorists, mechanical malfunction or loss of oxygen much earlier, and inability to keep the aircraft away from protected air space triggered a deadly intercept? Similarly, can we rule out the accident of "friendly fire" during Chinese or US navy practice?
                Such scenarios may provoke an international incident, tensions and embarrassment. This could be motive for international authorities to cover up. If the plane is never found or it is found without answer to what became of the passengers, this is what I would suspect. There are too many people participating in the search to fail to detect emergency beacons if the aircraft crashed. But it could make sense if those beacons were retreived and silenced right away to delay the search. The other scenario in which those emergency beacons would not be detected is if the aircraft landed safely.
                My heart goes out to the victims of this flight. Even in the US many still believe accidental missile strike from nearby US navy exercises brought down TWA Flight 800 in 1996. I knew an employee of TWA at the time of the accident who felt friendly fire brought down that passenger jet near New Jersey. There were American witnesses to what appeared to be a strike by explosive or missile when TWA 800 went down, but like the witnesses of MH370 flying low over the Maldives the eyewitnesses were discredited. Does this sound familiar? Sadly, to me, yes.
                In this case you have a pilot who alledgedly had several airstrips, including Diego Garcia, in his home flight simulator. Secondly, you have fishermen and island nation witnesses who say they saw MH370 flying very low into the area. Now the authorities say those reports are false? If it were me, I would believe the witness reports of a low flying jumbo jet. These witnesses have less cause for embarrassment and lies than the authorities. If the cause of the lost flight increases tensions with the US, China or a neighboring nation the international authorities may not want the facts to come to light. The wittnesses would have no such fear or concern and for this reason can be trusted.
                It is not too late for the members of flight MH370 to be found. However, if the plane or its passengers are not accounted for months or years from now, such a theory cannot be ruled out as an explanation. Who would wish to take responsibility for shooting down a passenger jet after all? It could be too shameful to admit the true cause. Without debris or emergency beacons found either a very fast cleanup and recovery occurred to cover the accident up or the aircraft landed safely and we shall soon learn the whereabouts. Never give up hope!

              • NEWS2VIEW  24 days ago
                That was my theory last week too --- shot down when the aircraft could not be raised on radio or thought to be under hostile control. Friendly fire is still thought by many to have brought down TWA flight 800. An accidental let alone intentional military takedown would be one scenario to account for the contradictions and delays, not to mention no emergency transponders detected.

            • Russia Calls U.S. Aid to Ukraine Illegal Amid Standoff

              • NEWS2VIEW  a month ago
                "Russia is wresting control of Crimea, sparking the worst crisis between Russia and the West since the Cold War."
                First let me say: I have no relationship or ancestry tied to Eastern Europe/Russia. What I do have, like everyone else here, is access to an Internet connection that can take me to international news sources just as quickly as I can visit (and compare) the coverage of this Ukraine/Crimea crisis domestically. And I have a couple of observations.
                For starters, why does the bulk of American news — not opinion pieces but hard news coverage — FAIL to preface these fightin' words — references to Putin "wrestling control", "seizing" or "invading" Crimea — with the word "alleged" as a modifier? A March 10 AP news story failed, similarly, to modify a reference to Ukraine's (unelected) prime minister, with whom Obama and the EU are negotiating, as an "interim" or "acting" leader. Is it supposed to fly over readers' heads that part of this present controversy pertains to an unwillingness to wait until Ukraine democratically elects a replacement for the president they ran off? American media does a similar disservice insofar as news coverage tacitly implies outside international observers in Crimea have confirmed that the citizens in Crimea made no solicitation for Russia's help!
                Even if Crimea's people did not seek "protection", as Putin claims, American media glosses over yet another reality: With Russia's Black Sea Fleet IN Crimea, who would expect Putin to leave their own naval base there wide open to incursion thanks to political and social instability dominating Ukraine at the moment? If the shoe were on the other foot, and Turkey (Japan or Germany) had just run off its leadership and violence encroached upon a US military base abroad, would the United States do any less to secure its interests — be it to protect American military personnel or merely to retain control of a strategic asset? I hardly think any of this should be surprising, let alone "irrational" or "unprovoked". And yet given the sloppy coverage here, one could be forgiven for awakening one day to the news that a stable Ukraine — not one currently without the benefit of democratically-elected leadership! — had been overrun by Russian troops.
                It doesn't matter if you look at The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times or the AP: the very language used to convey this story has contributed heavily to the he-said/she-said tone of this international fiasco. The fact is, there is a dispute over international law afoot with meritorious arguments on both sides. Alas, American media is so accustomed to over-simplifying issues — dumbing them down if you will — that we are on the receiving end only of Other People's Conclusions (OPC) about whether Putin has "invaded" Crimea or been "invited" to Crimea. The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle. But no matter what that truth may be, BOTH sides need to stand down and take a deep breath. The EU/US should not be attempting to obtain binding agreements from Ukraine's non-elected leader; likewise, Putin should not back a referendum in Crimea at gunpoint.
                I am sickened by the negligent tone of media coverage on the whole. US media dropped the ball in the ramp-up to the Iraq war, unquestioningly promulgating Bush Administration claims about a tie-in between Iraq and 9/11 (and that's not counting the weapons of mass destruction said to be in Iraq). American media is doing the same sloppy job now, too (suggesting, among other things, that the loss of funding for independent, investigative journalism in the U.S. can have dire consequences). Americans are suffering the injury of "press release journalism" passing for hard news coverage. Responsible journalists and their editors will question and corroborate everything before inferring conclusions. Instead, American media has become an unwitting tool in the battle for public opinion, at best, and a negligent, irresponsible propaganda piece at worst.
                If one seeks out news and views on Ukraine's predicament dating back much further — before the protests in Ukraine landed on American media radar — a more nuanced picture emerges. Radio Free Europe, in November, characterized the youth who comprised the protests that later turned violent as sufferers of a "generational rift". How many Americans appreciate that young people led Ukraine's support of an EU deal only by a thin margin, otherwise sentiment in favor of the EU vs. Russian bailout was roughly split 50/50? It might also interest American readers to know that all this mayhem began with a group of 20-somethings who compared their protests to that of Occupy Wall Street! Even more ironic, in reading comments by EU citizens in response to those news stories abroad, many are left scratching their heads as to how Ukraine's protesters could have come to the conclusion that the grass would be greener on the EU side of the fence — when the EU is increasingly cash-strapped unable, even, to solve the European unemployment problem running rampant in Greece, Italy, Spain and elsewhere!

                • NEWS2VIEW  a month ago
                  Aircraft don't merely "disappear", except perhaps, in the Bermuda Triangle. Seat cushions, insulation — all that would have floated to the ocean's surface unless, perhaps, the aircraft was utterly vaporized.
                  Now that we know that the Malaysian aircraft went dead to radar only to deviate off course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the aircraft was shot down intentionally. In President Bush's memoirs it is said he thought that after the first plane struck the World Trade Centers, the US military would shoot down other errant private aircraft on his orders. If the Malaysian aircraft were downed by terrorists we would likely know of it. But if it was brought down preemptively by a national authority in the region, it likely poses a severe embarrassment and potential international crisis. Given that some of the passengers were from Ukraine, and tensions between Putin and the EU/US are currently boiling over regarding Ukraine, it's not hard to imagine why a motive might exist for a cover up.
                  It's still possible the remains of this plane will be found at sea, but it's also increasingly likely that a cover-up is going on to avert an international crisis. This could very well be a case of preemptive strike against an aircraft thought to be hijacked by terrorists OR a friendly-fire incident; either way it would give motive for a cover up.

                There is precedent for a jetliner going missing

                • NEWS2VIEW  a month ago
                  If memory serves, within the past three to five years Russian nuclear subs approached the East Coast without our consent. Likewise, speculation holds that the Chinese may have done a similar move off the West Coast (remember the supposed missile launch off the Southern California coast in 2010)? The too-close approach of a non-ally in US territorial waters could be the basis for retaliation but instead those news stories died a quiet death.
                  How does this tie in with the missing Malaysian aircraft? Perhaps in this respect: We have an international crisis brewing in Ukraine, with Putin and the EU/US issuing mutual threats. Because some of the passengers on the missing aircraft are said to be from Ukraine, potentially any harm to come to them could inflame tensions between Putin, his allies and the West. Would international authorities wish to admit as much if it could bring on a potential war?
                  The possibilities, as I see it, are this: We either have to believe the aircraft was vaporized by a tremendous blast, leaving very little evidence OR one or more nations knows something but refuses to release what they know.
                  One consideration pertains to changes in aviation safety protocols post 9/11: suppose terrorists gained control of the cockpit, deviated from the designated flight path and could not be raised. If memory serves, doesn't turning off an aircraft's transponders, under some national security protocols, justify shooting an aircraft down? And if a nation actually shot down this Malaysian aircraft because terrorists gained control of the cockpit would anybody take responsibility for preemptively downing a passenger aircraft?
                  You either have to envision the impossible — that the aircraft was plucked out of existence by a UFO or a Bermuda Triangle phenomena — or you have to ask what scenario would be so embarrassing or potentially destabilizing to world affairs that we would be loath to admit it? (Not unlike the friendly fire — American naval exercises — that many still believe brought down TWA flight 800 off of New Jersey in 1996.)
                  Like the approach of Chinese and Russian subs to the US mainland, there are times in history when I suspect leaders either wish to minimize or entirely suppress the truth of an event in effort to keep a lid on an explosive or embarrassing situation. It's still possible the aircraft will be recovered if, in fact, it suffered mechanical failure. If, on the other hand, terrorists brought the Malaysian flight down safely for the purpose of making demands or threats of some sort, perhaps the negotiations are under a news blackout for the purpose of national security. Only time will tell.
