Malaysian Flight 370 Diego Garcia conspiracy theory.
2014-04-19
No link. From the email of a former colleague.
Yet another theory, if you can stand it.
If it wasn't such a tragic event we could all freely laugh with great gusto at the mainstream media regarding the disappearance of Malaysian flight 370. Every single source, substantiated or not, was taken as a great revelation. It was and continues to be a sad circus of events.

If those following the serious clues left available there is only one question to ask Why does no one mention the Indian Ocean's most advanced and secure air base, the stationary Aircraft Carrier located south of the southern tip of India called Diego Garcia? Not a peep. Not even an indication of a US managed military installation that monitors everything in this war region. In fact the best old metaphor regarding the lack of reference to this location is "The Silence Is Deafening."

So here it is--

As CNN, Fox, MSNBC, CBC, BBC, CTV and all the rest are prepared to spout off theories without any solid confirmation, here is one from a source who wishes to remain unidentified from Northwest BC Canada. This individual comes from a three decade long background of exposing the secrets the one percent and the military forces would rather have remained secret. He has recently revealed what happened to flight 370. 'Film at Eleven'.

Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah prepared and practised with his home flight simulator and had determined the maximum speed and angle of decent the Boeing 777 could withstand. As soon as the flight reached the extent of the Malaysian radar capability, when he knew they would no longer expect to see his radar signal, he wished the ground crews good night. He then turned off one tracking device, waited to see if anyone responded or raised alarm for 15 minutes, then turned off all communication devices. He locked the cabin door to prevent anyone from entering after asking his co-pilot to get him a drink or check on a system outside of the cockpit.
Curious, what became of the FBI simulator investigation ?
The Captain then immediately turned the plane southwest into a know flight path and climbed to over 40,000 ft. the maximum structural capability of the Boeing 777. He put on the pilot supplied air mask and kept the plane at over 40,000 ft until he was certain all the passengers and crew, including his co-pilot, were asphyxiated.

From his flight simulator experimentation he had already determined the precise coordinates where he would initiate his next action. To bring the plane down at the maximum speed and maximum angle of decent to make a direct hit on the fuel storage tanks at Diego Garcia.
Because...
As he initiated this direct course of action the American Military had not been concerned with the radar blip of this flight at 40,000 plus feet. They monitor vessels and flights which appear to be a threat or are invading their space. However they were suddenly brought into complete attention as their warning systems set off alarms. The base at Diego Garcia attempted to make radio contact and immediately dispatching interceptors. Knowing full well this was an imminent threat, having no time to debate the issue and recognizing the aircraft was operating in what was basically 'stealth mode, uncommunicative, the plane was shot out of the sky.

Becoming aware of which flight it was with the political and potential military repercussions, the US military ordered a complete lock down on all communications regarding the event and began dispatching crews to locate and pick up all the debris.

When the rest of the world became aware the flight was missing the US Navy offered all their resource to help them look for it in the South China Sea, then the Gulf of Thailand, Bay of Bengal and the Strait of Malacca. This kept the worlds attention focused away from the location they were cleaning up. US 7th Fleet Commander William Marks told CNN "We wait for the Malaysians to tell us where to search and we go there."

This is the most telling statement of all. Since when does the US take directions from Malaysia unless they are simply providing the rope to let them hang themselves. The
most powerful radar systems in the region are at Diego Garcia. A perfect target for such an attack, one the USA stopped and one they simply cannot reveal to the world due to the nationality of the passengers on board.

They will continue to assist in the search while doing everything to ensure no one even mentions Diego Garcia in the mainstream media.
Diego Garcia and it's extensive radar capability continues to go unmentioned, as does the Auzzie Jindalee Operational Radar Network (JORN) along the western coast.

#12  It's at the bottom of the ocean.

Diego Garcia is a US base, but does anyone think an airliner could land at DG and for a month and a half none of the US servicemen there would remark on it?

How'd they guide the plane in without the ATC crew knowing?

How'd they get it into a hangar without the air service crews being told one of their buildings was off limits?

How'd it taxi from the landing strip to the hangar without anyone noticing? Even at night, it either has lights on it or blocks out lights on the background AND MAKES A LOT OF NOISE.

How'd they deal with the passengers -- dead or alive -- without anyone noticing?

But, hey, the US is the target de jour, so the nutcases will make up anything.

Since when does the US take directions from Malaysia...


We ALWAYS wait for advice from the local government during disasters. It's called respecting sovereignty and not doing it causes endless problems.

The press doesn't mention DG because the press is populated by uneducated, uninformed talking heads hired for their relations and looks.

#9  Besoeker, I think a lot of the conspiracy theories floating around are deliberate lies being spread as chaff because the truth just isn't that bloody useful to them, and would be (to use an unfortunate turn of phrase) inconvenient. Noone had any grand money-making plans for going to war with Malaysia.

Anyway, if you want to see something that is less agit-proppy, I would suggest Duncan Steel's website. He's constructed routes for the plane that go through the Northern arc of the ping ring that match the doppler data from Immarsat. (In short, their data re: the southern route was either wrong or they were dissembling). You can reach it at http://www.duncansteel.com/.

Ranks a very strong 'B' coming from you.

#7  Until the truth is know, there are no bad ideas, only degrees of likely probability to be racked and stacked.

#4  I still smell a rat.

I still think the danged thing is sitting on the ground somewhere remote waiting to be turned into an enormous flying bomb coming to a neighborhood near you.

All of this chasing around checking on seagulls, pallets, and stray Styrofoam is a series of red herrings diversionary tactics.

If anything, someone knows exactly where this bird went down so it should not be this needle in a haystack thing. I am surprised neither the Aussies, the Chinese or us have a clue where this thing went down...

Has anyone been tracking large random purchases of JP-5?

#3  My theory is that it somehow went back in time to 9/11, and then didn't crash into the Pentagon. Soon to be a major motion picture.
Any takers?..

#2  Thanks Zen. Appears to be making the rounds. The shame is, not that it is being told, but that events are in such a mess we could give it a second thought.

#1  That was actually posted in an anonymous comment here back on the 10th to some consternation. A cursory search (bing, web only) suggests it may have originated on March 17 on an eclectic Canadian site.
