There was no “All right, good night”

Today’s report:
KUALA LUMPUR/PERTH – The last words from the cockpit of the missing Malaysian airliner were a standard “Good night Malaysian three seven zero”, Malaysian authorities said, changing their account of the critical last communication from a more casual “All right, good night.” The correction almost four weeks after Flight MH370 vanished was made as Malaysian authorities face heavy criticism, particularly from China, for mismanaging the search and holding back information.

The verdict is that if nothing else this incident has revealed that the Pacific and Indian oceans are hotspots right now and the respective militaries of the surrounding nations do not want to reveal that they knew the location, crash site and flight path that the plane took.
Those oceans are teeming with submarines, warships, satellites etc. Many of these would have picked up on the plane’s presence but could not reveal that they knew about it as it would have revealed sensitive military information.
It goes without saying that the Malaysian authorities could not reveal the true sources that would have explained that the plane had flown south-west – the least likely of trajectories. The Chinese are also keeping mum for obvious reasons. One can hardly expect the Chinese to make an announcement in this vein: ‘oh yeh, we have 3 subs spying on British, Indian and Australian interests in the Indian Ocean so we happened to detect a plane strangely flying over our radars’.
You can hardly blame the poor relatives for becoming so despondent.
In almost four weeks we have heard so many different versions of events that suspicions are bound to arise.
I have a feeling that the Malaysian authorities and the airline are hiding the truth because the truth will expose some glaring deficiencies on the part of either one or the other or both.
Here’s some more information, Daphne, lest your case grows cold: http://www.naturalnews.com/044511_Flight_370_reality_check_government_involvement.html
[Daphne – Thank you, Kevin, that’s a very interesting article. And I’m glad to see that he’s saying there pretty much what I wrote about pilot suicide & c.]
Ahemm, now I am going to get meself in trouble. Tried to steer clear of the subject – because I had already made my thoughts very clear here.
But how can Kev reconcile the following two statements in the article:
1. “Somebody is covering up the truth of what happened to MH370, and it looks almost certain that the Malaysian government is part of this cover-up, as I previously reported.”
2. “Flight 370 most likely did not crash; it was almost certainly taken over (possibly by remote control) and flown to a destination with all passengers alive and the aircraft in one piece.
What happens from there is anyone’s guess, but the most likely use of such a stolen aircraft is to turn it into a massive airborne weapons delivery system to be outfitted with biological, chemical or nuclear weapons. Believe me when I say this is the real scenario being discussed behind closed doors at the Pentagon. The “pilot suicide” explanation is merely the sucker’s version of events for public consumption.”
An argument is always as good as its ability to avoid inconsistency within its parts. To put it differently, an argument’s logic must be without flaws.
It is clear that Mike Adams is contradicting himself in his article.
So I ask:
1. Why would the Malaysian government steal its own aircraft, and then seek to cover it up?
Malaysia Airlines is controlled by the government of Malaysia.
If the Malaysian government, alone or in collusion with others, wanted to use one of its planes for terrorism purposes, why would it steal one of its planes while full of passengers in the air en route to Beijing?
What is the real purpose of such act: Is it that of shocking the world and drawing the world’s attention to what is happening here, or is it that of obtaining and hiding a weapon to use later?
Couldn’t the Malaysian government simply withdraw one of the planes in the fleet and use it for the terrorist purpose at the time when the need for such terrorist act arises?
Why would it HIDE one of its planes in full VIEW of the world and under such intense attention by the media?
That said, I do agree that the media attention in this case should be fully on the Malaysian government. The way they have handled the publication of information has been very poor.
This should lead the media to see the real issue. When you have a government which is not democratic and transparent, you cannot trust that government, even in issues of such gravity when the whole world’s attention is on that government. Non democratic governments give no value to the truth, to the right of others to facts for their own conclusions.
This is what Mike Adams says in another article about the possibility that MH370 landed in Iran or Pakistan:
“This flight path, however, would have put it directly over India, and it is difficult to imagine the Indian government not noticing a Boeing 777 aircraft flying over its airspace without a transponder. Then again, the Malaysian government seems to have no idea where the plane went, either, and so we may be dealing with regional military incompetence on these matters, or possibly some amazing new stealth technology that was somehow deployed on the plane.”
http://www.naturalnews.com/044307_flight_370_passengers_alive_air_piracy.html
Who said that the Malaysian government has no idea where the plane went? I think that the Malaysian government knew very well where that plane went within the territory covered by Malaysia’s military radar. What the Malaysian government doesn’t seem to know is why no one in its military command took any action when the plane was caught on radar.
Is Adams suggesting that India, a country in a nuclear dispute with its neighbour Pakistan, does not have the capability to detect a Boeing 777 flying across its territory to, wait for it, Pakistan or Iran?
And what’s that nonsense about “stealth technology”? Does Adams have an explanation for every part of his theory, or do parts of his theory stand on fiction?
Adams developed his theory of a stolen plane on 14 March, and he has not changed it since. But since 14 March, new evidence has been revealed. Important new facts were:
1. The countries in East Asia have confirmed that their radar did not show any signs of MH370.
2. Inmarsat, a British company, has analysed satellite data which showed that the plane went southwards on the Indian Ocean.
Adams also excludes any reference to the two “flight corridors” which Inmarsat had identified from the hourly pings. Those corridors exclude several of the locations on the circle suggested by him.
Adams suggests that the plane may be in Iran or Pakistan.
Pakistan has its own national airline, Pakistan International Airlines. Its fleet includes Boeing 777s and Boeing 747s.
Iran Air has a number of Airbus A300s and Boeing 747s.
Can’t see why the governments of Pakistan or Iran would prefer to collude with the landing on their territory of a stolen plane for a terrorist purpose rather than handing over one of their own planes.
The primary radar data has been compiled and released for over a week now;
http://tmfassociates.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Beijing-event.jpg
They have a good idea of where the aircraft went, before it flew out of radar range. Inmarsat have proved without a doubt in my mind that the aircraft is in the Southern Indian ocean. Now we wait, and hope they find something.
Ciccio, I meant to ask you, why do you assume the Captain was more prone to commit suicide than the First officer?
“Ciccio, I meant to ask you, why do you assume the Captain was more prone to commit suicide than the First officer?”
Well, I have to admit that when I said that I thought that Captain Ahmad Shah was the prime suspect in my hypothesis, I did not know that the First officer was planning to get married.
But, seriously, my conclusion was based on information about Mr. Ahmad Shah which had been published by the Dailymail, and which I thought was consistent with the facts about the “deliberate” flight path taken by MH370. It was the Dailymail which first revealed Mr. Ahmad Shah’s political activism and his pessimism about democracy. Other media had already published the fact that Mr. Ahmad Shah was a very experienced pilot and had a flight simulator at home.
What I also found intriguing was the fact that Malaysian authorities denied that they had searched his home in the first few days, but then made a show out of it about 6 days after MH370 disappeared.
For the time being, Mr. Ahmad Shah remains a suspect, and he is innocent until proven guilty.
The article quoted by Kevin contains some factual errors and a very big logical non sequitur.
No country on Earth (not even North Korea) has radar cover along every inch of its airspace, from the ground up to the stratosphere. Once beyond radar range (typically around 300-350 km), even a Boeing 777 becomes invisible. It’s as simple as that. And radar isn’t some magic screen. Just like visible light, it is refracted, reflected, scattered and absorbed. Even a simple thing like rain can severely diminish the capabilities of a radar system.
The non sequitur is the government collusion theory, which assumes that the aircraft was detected by radar, but that someone turned a blind eye.
If we really want to apply Occam’s razor, then the simplest theory is a hijacking where the aim was simply to kill everyone on board. The days of stand-offs on the tarmac at Luqa are over. Perhaps even the days of airliners crashing into skyscrapers.
“The days of stand-offs on the tarmac at Luqa are over.”
Exactly. What’s the point of negotiating with KMB for more fuel when the airport security has been taken over by the Egyptians?
I agree with the gist but not with the conclusion.
This is something along the lines of that infamous tragedy of 1980 Ustica/Itavia.
When governments and security services are involved everything gets blurred.
It was the French, the Italians, the USA and the Libyans then.
The cover-up reached gargantuan proportions. These people do not tell on each other.
Who is it this time round?
We will never know for sure.
Hardly. A British technical commission proved empiricialy that a bomb in the lavatory brought down that aircraft. This was during the Years of Lead in Italy, so it stands to reason that domestic terrorism was most likely. But conspiracy is always more exciting…
According to the late Italian president Francesco Cossiga there was no bomb in the toilet.
Cossiga was prime minister when the tragedy took place.
He declared publicly that according to information he received from the head of the Italian secret services, Sismi, the aircraft was brought down by an Exocet missile fired from a French airforce fighter aircraft.
Cossiga also added that there was no way the French would ever own up.
He told journalists publicly that if any of them had any intention of insisting with the French government they would very likely end up involved in a car accident.
That is the modus operandi of secret services.
Ask Al Fayed.
The French were determined to get Gaddafi who was flying back to Libya a few thousand metres from the downed Itavia aircraft.
It took them another thirty years to finally succeed.
Yes, all of that is true, and the Italian Supreme court even ruled it was a missile just last year. However Francesco Cossiga was no air crash investigator, and the 2013 court case ignored most of the scientifically validated evidence. (They even detonated a bomb in a mock up of a rear section of a DC-9.)
Here is the technical report: http://www.airmanshiponline.com/spring2000/spring2000/05-isasdc9.htm
It concludes: ‘The possibility of a missile penetrating the fuselage close to the engine exhaust and exploding inside is ruled out because of the lack of penetration of nearby structure by pieces of metal casing.
The original hypothesis of a missile exploding close to the aircraft, although tenable when little wreckage was available for examination, is now irrevocably ruled out due to the total lack of appropriate damage to the almost complete aircraft skin now available and, primarily because this cannot explain the damage around the toilet.
1) It is concluded that the accident was brought about by in-flight break-up resulting from extensive structural damage caused by the detonation of an explosive charge in the rear (starboard) toilet.’
Smacks of Ustica.

What do you make of this? Allegedly Philip Wood the IBM employee says the plane was hijacked and they are prisoners..
Not really convinced this is authentic. One of the EXIF fields says Photoshop 3.
http://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/27834494/
In the end, what makes it very likely faked is the SMALL image size 320×240 (set in the exif fields).. such a small size is odd or unlikely to be the default, however I googled and found that an apple bug can get images to be uploaded at this site:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/9367147#9367147
When I saved the image, it had the full EXIF saying the location was on Diego Garcia. Checked with different software, but there was a Photoshop v3 record there too, which indicates it is might be faked.

In this video, Philip’s girlfriend says Governments are intentionally misleading us:

This is important too too, a UN-backed treaty body said there were no explosions or crashes detected:
http://www.unmultimedia.org/radio/english/2014/03/vienna-treaty-body-says-no-malaysia-plane-explosion-detected/#.Uzp8MiNuvJs
Of course, if the black jpeg is faked, it’s a very good fake created by someone who is quite intelligent and had the right programs to do it.
Interestingly Jim Stone is going on how the image he would has been hacked.. and he wants to upload the original one later…
The jpeg on his site is identical byte by byte to the one on the plebs website. Of course if both sites might have been hacked, but we don’t really have proof of that..
