Thanks 'MF':
General Flynn () was asked about MH370.
Martha - "Ashton Forbes on X. He says that the United States Government has incredible amounts of technology that we would just be..."
Flynn - "We'd be blown away."

Diego Garcia[edit]
Conspiracy theorists have suggested that MH370 was either captured by U.S. Navy SEALs and then flown to the U.S. Naval base on the atoll of Diego Garcia[31] in the British Indian Ocean Territory to bring to justice Chinese computer scientists believed to be responsible for hacking attacks on U.S. Department of Defense computer servers or that the plane landed at the base directly after being instructed to travel there.
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."[32]
Underpinning the Diego Garcia theory were several elements, one of which was the co-pilot's mobile phone contact and the plane's westward turn, both of which were consistent with a flight path toward the island.[citation needed]
In that vein, it was reported by the Daily Mirror, without giving a concrete source, that the captain had trained in landing on an Indian Ocean island with a short runway, using a flight simulator in his home computer.[33] Several mass media sources reported that the captain had trained using his aviasimulator to land on five runways—each at least 1,000 metres (0.62 mi) long—in the Indian Ocean region, namely Diego Garcia and Male International Airport (MLE) and other airstrips in India and Sri Lanka.[34][35]
These allegations were disputed by the FBI, which reported that after analyzing the impounded flight simulator, it had found "nothing suspicious whatsoever" and said that the Mirror's reports about the simulator's contents were "unsubstantiated and unsourced".[36][37]

Giving a new twist to the MH370 missing story, a former French airline boss has claimed that the Malaysia Airlines flight was shot down by the U.S. military near their base on Diego Garcia.[38]
In an article published on 18 March 2014, journalists Farah Ahmed and Ahmed Naif of the Maldivian newspaper Haveeru wrote: "...several residents of Kuda Huvadhoo told Haveeru on Tuesday that they saw a 'low flying jumbo jet' at around 06:15 on March 8. They said that it was a white aircraft, with red stripes across it—which is what the Malaysia Airlines flights typically look like. Eyewitnesses from the Kuda Huvadhoo concurred that the jet was traveling North to South-East, towards the Southern tip of the Maldives—Addu. They also noted the incredibly loud noise that the flight made when it flew over the island.

'I've never seen a jet flying so low over our island before. We've seen seaplanes, but I'm sure that this was not one of those. I could even make out the doors on the plane clearly.' said an eyewitness. 'It's not just me either, several other residents have reported seeing the exact same thing. Some people got out of their houses to see what was causing the tremendous noise too.' Mohamed Zaheem, the Island Councilor of Kuda Huvadhoo, said that the residents of the island had spoken about the incident."[39]
The discovery in late July 2015 of debris from a Boeing 777, on a beach on Réunion island, east of Madagascar, suspected (and later deemed "highly likely")[40][41] to be from MH370, quickly led to renewed Internet speculation that the plane had been shot down near Diego Garcia, which is 1,475 miles (2,374 km) away from Réunion,[42] out of fears of a terrorist attack.[42]

However, oceanographers such as Professor Charitha Pattiaratchi from the University of Western Australia said that "the arrival of MH370 debris in Réunion would conform to the expected path of ocean currents from the point in its flight path where it was believed to have crashed".[42] Many people, including some of those who believed the plane had landed safely on Diego Garcia (or elsewhere), quickly dismissed the debris as fake.[42]

Mahathir's theory was, as I had read it, "someone" manipulated remote devices to "control' MH370's flight to you-know-where, wakakaka!
I know these guys hate the Wankees guts, but this allegation is really Desperado territory.
ReplyDeleteDo these guys walk around with a tin-foil hat ?
