The closer that millions
of online sleuths come to tracing the trajectory and destination of the
missing
Malaysian Airlines jetliner, the likelier it becomes that the
National Security Agency and CIA will resort to
disinformation, including
the planting of falsified evidence, to throw off their pursuers in what
increasingly
appears to be an electronic hijacking by those spy agencies.
More layers of the
ongoing cover-up are being hatched now that eyewitnesses at the
Huvadhu Atoll, a
diving area in the southern Maldives,, have reported
sightings of "a low-flying jumbo jet.: South of Huvadhu
Atoll,
the closest U.S. military facility is Diego Garcia in the Chagos
Islands. The joint U.S. Navy submarine
and Air Force facility has
underground hangers huge enough to conceal B-52 bombers, a convenient
hiding
place for a Boeing-777.
Huvadhu is a prominent
marker in the vast Indian Ocean, used as the turning point for
flights into Diego Garcia. There valuable cargo - either classified
documents or a human intelligence asset - can be secretly landed and
reloaded on a USAF
cargo jet or a Navy submarine. Countless secret
and illegal "extraordinary rendition" flights were sent to
Diego
Garcia in the war on terror, and there is no practical reason
why the same US intelligence agencies would not
use it to land a
civilian aircraft hijacked by remote control.
Pieces of the wreckage
spotted by US ally Australia further south of Diego Garcia could be a
decoy site,
salted with physical evidence of airplane parts that have
been moved surreptitiously. As in the unsolved mystery of Amelia
Earhart, who was on an espionage mission against the Japanese forces
in the South Pacific before her disappearance, there
is the
possibility that a hostile military force moved tantalizing evidence
from the actual landing site to a more
distant remote island by plane
or ship.
Malaysia Targeted by
Air-Sea Battle Plan
The case of a MH370 has
been solely focused on the possibility of a route diversion by the
on-board crew.
Completely ignored in press releases and news reports
so far is the elephant in the room, or perhaps a better
analogy of a
Great White Shark in the bathtub - the massive U.S. Navy and Air
Force presence in the seas
and airspace surrounding Malaysia.
There is absolutely no
way that a flying object as large as a Boeing-777 could evade the
24-hour watch over
the South China Sea and the Andaman Sea by
NSA-USAF spy satellites, high-tech AEGIS destroyers, the
new class of
Littoral Combat Ships and P3 surveillance planes.
The reasons for
targeting Malaysia becomes clearer by examining the bigger picture of
an aggressive military
build-up in the Southeast Asia region by the
combined armed forces of the US, Japan and Australia under
Washington's "strategic pivot to Asia" policy. This
geopolitical strategy is carried out by the Pentagon and its
military
allies through the Air-Sea Battle Concept, which disperses Navy and
Air Force fighter jets across a
network of civilian airfields and
secret landing strips.
Beijing is not the only
target of the Air-Sea Battle Concept. Malaysia runs a close second to
China on
Washington's enemies list. Flight MH370, destined for
Beijing, is the literal embodiment of the economic
alliance and
political relationship between : China and Malaysia, making the
airliner a most convenient target.
Pressuring Kuala Lumpur
Located on the
geostrategic Malacca Strait, Malaysia is a predominantly Muslim
oil-producing nation with a
"Look East" policy allying
itself with Japan and China. Last year the Malaysian and Chinese
governments
established an economic alliance, which includes Asian
access to world oil reserves. In the eyes of Washington
and its
allies, these are sufficient grounds to treat Kuala Lumpur as an
adversary.
Even though the
Malaysian police force has cooperated closely with the US Embassy in
the war on terror,
which led to arrests of top-ranking Al
Qaeda-linked terrorists, that is not good enough. The late Moammar
Gaddhafi of Libya and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad also aided
Washington in post-911 anti-terrorism,
and look where it got them. It
is not enough to be a friend of America. For a leader to survive, he
must be a
groveling yes-man, a political slave - and never mind
America's long-forgotten principles of sovereignty or
self-determination.
Warnings from
Washington were repeatedly given to Malaysia over the past few years.
In late August 2013,
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel flew to Kuala
Lumpur last year to pressure the Defence Ministry to
cooperated with
the strategic pivot through joint naval-and-air exercises directed
against Chinese forces in
the Malaysian-claimed islets in the
Spratley group. These spits of rock and sand located off of Sabah,
the
Malaysian state in northwest Borneo, have names longer than their
diameters, for instance, Investigator Reef
and Mariveles Reef.
At the same time, a
mystery force led by a claimant to the title of Sultan of Saah send a
group of Filipino
gunmen, allegedly trained by a retired American
commando, attacked Sabah with a series of shootouts with
the
Malaysian Army. US counterinsurgency troops happened to be operating
in the southern Islamic-dominated areas of the Philippines, where the
"sultan" recruited his desperado guerrillas.
Meanwhile, as disclosed
by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, Washington with the cooperation
of
Singapore was massively eavesdropping on Malaysian communications,
banking and Internet traffic. Kuala
Lumpur filed a diplomatic protest
with Singapore, which downplayed its role as an agent for American,
British
and Israeli interests in Southeast Asia.
Not by any coincidence,
this writer earlier exposed the role of Google in trying to block
visitors to
pro-Palestinian websites in Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysia has taken an active role in sending aid boats to Gaza and
speaking on behalf of Palestinian rights at the UN. Google has close
relations with the electronic warfare operations of the
Pentagon and
the Israel Defense Force, and sponsors a research center in Technion,
a technical university in
Haifa closely integrated with the IDF.
MH370 is not the first
possible casualty of the strategic pivot policy. In May 2011, a
Sukhoi Superjet 100
airliner was "accidentally" downed in
nearby Indonesia. That mysterious crash into a mountain on a clear
day
happened after takeoff from Halim Air Base, the planning center
for the Air-Sea Battle Concept across the
vast Indonesian
archipelago. Sukhoi Aircraft Industries had strong connections with
Malaysia, where Russian
plane manufacturer was planning to build a
regional maintenance center - a business plan since canceled under
pressure from the Pentagon, Boeing and Lockheed.
The Malaysia has the
only air force in the region that flies Sukhoi jet fighters, which
unlike US-supplied
warplanes, cannot be electronically controlled and
disarmed by a computer-code signal from the Pentagon.
How to Knock Out
Aviation Electronics
The
flight paths of MH370 were not across uncharted waters, as news
reports suggest, but over some of the
world's most heavily watched
maritime channels. As soon as the jet lifted off Kuala Lumpur, its
communications signals and radar image were picked up by US Navy
signals intercepts officers stationed at Changi Navy Base and
Sembawang
dockyard in Singapore, which are effectively bases for the
7th
Fleet. Triple coverage would have been
provided by USAF listening
posts at Halim Air Base near Jakarta.
The Malaysian airliner
would then been picked up by the many USN ships patrolling the South
China Sea, in
and around the Spratley Islands. Besides AEGIS radar
ships, the Navy has dispatched a new class of Littoral
Combat Ships,
including the USS Freedom, to the pivot.
Beamed from one of
these ships, a powerful type of radar called X-band or
narrow-aperture radar could
easily have disabled all of the planes.
The advanced radar system, now used in electromagnetic warfare to
knock out missile and planes, led to the unintended blackout of Los
Angeles Airport (LAX) in April 2004.
As told to me by a
former Navy communications officer, "the new type of radar was
commissioned by
Admiral Jeremy Boorda, who was an enthusiast for
anything hi-tech. When our destroyer came to the port of
Los Angeles,
someone switched on the radar and the electrical power went down at
LAX and all of the
surrounding area. LAX was closed for hours, but
the incident was hushed up by the Pentagon." Boorda was
the
victim of an apparent suicide in 1996 after infuriating the officer
corps by exposing widespread problem of
rape in the naval ranks.
As reported in the
news, MH370 was steered toward the Indian Ocean by the insertion of a
computer
command into its navigation system. Since at least the 911
incident and possibly earlier, Boeing passenger jets
can be
remote-controlled by the US intelligence agencies. Any recently built
American-built aircraft can now
be electronically commandeered and
operated like a drone.
The only question is
whether the American government is willing to engage in such a
reckless disregard
innocent lives. That point has already been proven
in countless drone strikes against civilian compounds in
places like
Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq, the Horn of Africa and many unreported
locales. Though illegal and immoral, death from the skies is official
policy. Without any effective restraints, the Pentagon can easily
eliminate the passengers of Malaysian
Airlines.
Perhaps it is not too
late to save any surviving hostages, but that task would require a
commando team
Perhaps it is not too
late to save any surviving hostages, but that task would require a
commando team
capable of rescuing them from inside a heavily guarded
U.S. Military base in the center of the Indian Ocean
and flying them
to India, the only coastal country in the region secure enough from a
Pentagon counterstrike.
Rambo, are you ready?
Flying Under the Radar
After its electronic
systems were knocked out, MH370 made a sharp left turn toward the Kra
Peninsula along
the thinly populated and insurgency-troubled
Malaysia-Thai border. The jet dove to 6,000 feet and possibly
lower,
enabling it to evade detection by flying below the ground radar. Its
path, however, was briefly picked
up from the northern side, where
the Thai Air Force bases a fleet of Saab jet fighters.
Significantly, the
plane did not crash into the steep mountain range along the
Kelantan-Kedah state border, but
managed to fly in between the taller
peaks. Either the passengers and crew were blessed with incredible
luck
or the MH370 was flying under remote control. Remote piloting
software for a plane, now a readily available
for drones, was first
developed by Israeli programmers, all of them former IDF officers, in
Atel, Israel, prior to 911. The same team created the hacker-immune
Waterfall software for critical infrastructure, which was released
coincidentally at
the same time as the Stuxnet virus.
Then
MH370 crossed over the Strait of Malacca and the Andaman Sea, which
is crowded with commercial
vessels and oil tankers. That particular
section of the strategic passage is constantly monitored by NSA-CIA
surveillance stations assigned to protect Indonesia's Sumatra
offshore oil platforms operated by Exxon and
BP. Just north of Phuket
is the Thai Navy's 3rd
Headquarters, where American servicemen keep track of all
ship and
airplane traffic over the Andaman Sea.
It is impossible, in
short, with so many radar facilities and airbases in that oil-rich
sea for any jetliner, especially
along an unscheduled air route, to
go unspotted. So somebody is lying, and perhaps everybody is lying.
The Impunity of
Criminal States
The cargo manifest for
MH370 has yet to be released, just like the SwissAir 111 shipment of
pallets of bonds
was never disclosed. Perhaps the motive was an
economic crime, although that possibility is far-fetched since
Malaysia is not a major holder of US Treasury bonds
The other possible
motive is the human assets aboard the jet. The passenger manifest
does not disclose the
occupation or rank associated with the names.
Was there a VIP on board of extreme high value to Western
intelligence agencies?
The lesson of MH370 is
that the Great Powers act in secrecy and with impunity. Wars of
strategic interest are
no longer waged openly but are conducted by
proxy armies, mercenaries with guns, propaganda agents placed inside
of human-rights groups, media blackmail, social media manipulation
and spies in the sky.
Electronic warfare
against planes or against smartphones is by now routine and accepted
by dumbed-down
users, with no apologies or regrets expressed by the
NSA or the Pentagon. Smaller players who cross those
invisible red
lines or dare to put a stick in the eye of the big boys, end up
broken into tiny pieces. In this cruel
new world of subterfuge and
sabotage, one learns to play the game or is quickly ejected into
oblivion like a
lost airliner.
Against the prospect of
total domination of global society by spy agencies, resistance by any
means and for
whatever the cost is not just a game; it is political
duty and moral obligation to restore long-ignored
constitutional
principles and the rule of law. The all-powerful hunters will become
the frightened hunted, as is
starting to happen now as millions of
online users narrow down the destination of MH370.
