    Further to my earlier post(s): why are these "sources" attempting to push the theory that the airplane crashed when so far, there is absolutely NO evidence to support this?
    Maybe something to do with the 400 million worth of cargo mentioned in one of those articles you referenced?

    The US narrative is more and more speaking about a highjacking now....slowly worming it's way for the last week firstly by mentioning the co-pilot having a "tendency" to allow "people" in to the cockpit, the pilot having a 777 flight simulator in his home (which I mentioned earlier in this thread) etc etc.

    Quote Two U.S. officials tell ABC News the U.S. believes that the shutdown of two communication systems happened separately on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. One source said this indicates the plane did not come out of the sky because of a catastrophic failure.
    The data reporting system, they believe, was shut down at 1:07 a.m. The transponder -- which transmits location and altitude -- shut down at 1:21 a.m.
    This indicates it may well have been a deliberate act, ABC News aviation consultant John Nance said.
    U.S. investigators told ABC News that the two modes of communication were "systematically shut down."
    That means the U.S. team "is convinced that there was manual intervention," a source said, which means it was likely not an accident or catastrophic malfunction that took the plane out of the sky.
    http://gma.yahoo.com/malaysia-airlin...ries.html?vp=1
    It's interesting how the "officials" KNOW this without any solid evidence.....through the media they are setting up the narrative regardless of what Malaysian officials are saying.

    They are probably right now dumping debris in the Indian Ocean that resembles a 777 so they can say they found the crash site! Obviously I DO NOT TRUST this US narrative unfolding right now!

    Added:

    Regardless of the truth, this unfolding narrative almost HAS TO be pinned on the pilot and or co-pilot being involved, someone either had to let somebody in the cockpit or the pilot himself manually flew the plane willingly.

    The strange twist gets even more strange!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    PS: one story after another is coming out right now through the MSM mentioning foul play and or highjacking....as if the are preparing the sheeple for the conclusion. I'm predicting they will find a debris field sometime today and claim it's the missing flight. If it really will be the missing flight is anyone's "guess"

    Those 20 electronic warfare specialists are, I presume, the 20 FreeScale Engineers who are mentioned several times earlier in this thread.

    The point about 20 people on board being electronic experts.......they were from a firm in Texas that designs the computer chips that go into smart meters. At least that info was in the article I first read. (Ie water, electric, gas. We heard a report which included the name of the firm. But I can't find it.

    I found it........not exactly the same. Maybe it has been edited. Imagine that.

    Missing Malaysia Airlines plane: Texas-based company says 20 employees aboard MH370
    Associated Press , Josh Frigerio
    10:59 AM, Mar 9, 2014
    5:30 PM, Mar 11, 2014

    A man waits in front of a notice aimed at relatives of passengers onboard Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 to gather at a local hotel at Beijing International Airport on March 8, 2014 in Beijing, China.
    Getty Images
    AUSTIN, TX - Twenty employees of an Austin-based technology company on board the missing Malaysia Airlines flight were en route to a business meeting in China, a spokeswoman for the tech firm said Sunday.

    The employees -- 12 from Malaysia and eight from China --work at facilities in their respective countries that manufacture semiconductor chips, said Freescale Semiconductor spokeswoman Jacey Zuniga.

    "We have several manufacturing sites in Kuala Lumpur and Tianjin, China. Those 20 employees were with those teams," she said.

    The employees were aboard Flight MH370, which lost contact with ground controllers somewhere between Malaysia and Vietnam after leaving Kuala Lumpur early Saturday morning for Beijing. The plane was carrying 239 people.

    Zuniga said the news of the 20 workers and the missing plane has been difficult for the company and its employees.

    "It's been a really tough weekend," she said.

    The company has assembled a team of counselors for those impacted by the tragedy.

    "We're really focused on our employees and their families and we're watching the latest developments like everybody else, waiting to hear more concrete news," she said.

    Freescale Semiconductor has been developing microprocessors, sensors and other technology for the past 50 years. The technology it creates is commonly referred to as embedded processors, which according to the firm are "stand-alone semiconductors that perform dedicated computing functions in electronic systems."

    The technology is used in a variety of things, including smartphones, appliances and automobiles.

    The company has more than 18,000 employees and operates manufacturing facilities, design centers and sales offices throughout the world. About 5,900 employees work in the United States; there are about 3,000 in Malaysia and about 4,000 in China.

    The company had revenue of $4.2 billion in 2013. Before 2004, it was a subsidiary of Motorola.

    On the company's Facebook page, various people, including some who identified themselves as former employees, offered their condolences and prayers to the families of the missing workers.

    Other tech firms expressed their support for the company and the missing workers.

    "We extend our condolences to the families and coworkers of the Freescale employees aboard Malaysia Airlines flight MH370," Dallas-based Texas Instruments wrote on its official Facebook page.

    There is other technology that achieves the same but works differently. I can't remember exactly now but someone
    involved in crash retrieval (was it Clifford Stone ?) mentioned once finding an airliner not that much damaged as if
    a giant just put it there ... This technology is in use for some time now.

    This was on the iON & BOb site on March 11th from the March 8th Payday Show.



    http://ionandbob.blogspot.ca/2014/03...light-370.html

    Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 Developing Story





    IBM executive Philip Wood


    Payday

    A man from Texas who worked at IBM was on Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370. According to iON, he should not have been on the plane. 8 March 2014


    Listen

    Video of Philip Wood.

    CNN: Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370: What we know and don’t know


    iON has also said that the 4G cellular network would allow calls to alternate worlds.

    Below from The Washington Post:


    One of the most eerie rumors came after a few relatives said they were able to call the cellphones of their loved ones or find them on a Chinese instant messenger service called QQ that indicated that their phones were still somehow online.

    A migrant worker in the room said that several other workers from his company were on the plane, including his brother-in-law. Among them, the QQ accounts of three still showed that they were online, he said Sunday afternoon.




    Adding to the mystery, other relatives in the room said that when they dialed some passengers’ numbers, they seemed to get ringing tones on the other side even though the calls were not picked up.

    The phantom calls triggered a new level of desperation and anger for some. They tried repeatedly Sunday and Monday to ask airline and police officials about the ringing calls and QQ accounts. However unlikely it was, many thought the phones might still be on, and that if authorities just tracked them down, their relatives might be found. But they were largely ignored.

    According to Singapore’s Strait Times, a Malaysia Airlines official, Hugh Dunleavy, told families that the company had tried calling mobile phones of crew members as well and that they had also rang. The company turned over those phone numbers to Chinese authorities.

    Based on that inner vision I had a few days ago where I posted it here, because that tall brick building that I saw at the beginning of that vision turned out to be a precog for an event that occurred the next morning which was that tall brick building that exploded and collapsed in NYC that was all over the news, this could mean that the Malaysian plane exploded. Everybody on board died hence why, in the next part of that vision, the plane flew into that spiraling tunnel.

    Do I personally think that vision was correct? Well, the information I receive in not from me... it's from other intelligences outside of myself and I do have enough of a success rate in terms of the hits I get when I get information like this that pops into my mind out of nowhere... I'm going with the theory that the plane exploded and that the pilots were flying the plane when that happened but because me and another person were sitting behind the pilots in that vision, this may indicate that there were one or 2 other people in that cockpit which suggests that the plane was hijacked.

    But in any case, the plane exploded and there are no survivors as indicated by the plane flying into a spiraling tunnel at the end of that vision.

    Because the plane flew UP, like a helicopter just before they flew into that tunnel, this could mean that the plane was at great heights at the time of the explosion. This could also explain why they have not found any debris yet anywhere on sea or land that's connected to the plane.

    Hi Swannette , I have been pondering this since before work this morning
    and did not have time to post. Then when I got home this afternoon I saw the
    Chinese list posted and made this little link, still not sure whether to post. But
    when I saw yours, I pressed save change to put it on the record. cheers steve

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



    Back on page 5 where I quoted Ion from Sat 8/3 he said cryptically as
    no one thought to push it at the time. Ions answer was.

    " It all goes back to IBM and the great state of Texas, Theres this little fella on
    the plane, that ain't supposed to be on the plane , and its gone. Go to South
    Vietnam and start digging a hole, You may find out where to go. "

    Then there is a couple of exchanges for only a couple of mins before Sarah
    completely changes direction, 'Fantasy Island is mentiontion glibly as Ion
    likes to joke to prompt more questions. Obviously I don't expect you to
    read into the words as I do listening to them every week.

    aprox 10 mins in for 3mins or so.



    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    So what I'm getting from the above and what is on this thread is......

    There was a plot to kidnap or kill the 20 Chinese tech specialists.



    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Which is why Philip Wood, 51, who worked in Kuala Lumpur
    was not supposed to have gone on to China. But in interviews

    Or as Bueres has pointed out it may be this man ???

    The plane has either crashed or is hidden on one of South Vietnams Islands
    Phu Quoc and Start digging in and you may find out where to go.

    There are other islands.....






    Phu Quoc looks like fantasy island and that's what ion was joking about.


    This obviously means more to me than most on here who probably
    wonder what I'm on about, but possible motives and if it not found
    by tomorrow night. Hopefully Ion will be pushed for more details.

    Bob sometimes censors ions answer if he thinks the 'spooks' will
    pay him a visit.....This is speculative and I'l put it out in parallel
    to the mainsteam reports I post for contrast. I don't no how a
    plane could have crashed on a holiday island and not be noticed.

    There is also a Freescale Semiconductor and Blackwater connection. I read that Blackwater owns Freescale. See here:

    Officials look at 'act of piracy' in jet's disappearance

    Vid on link......It says many people involved in the US
    are not allowed to speak publically giving way to Malaysia
    while the investigation is going on.

    The search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is still underway, after it
    vanished en route to Beijing. USA TODAY Transportation Reporter Bart Jansen
    details the confirmed data and the questions that many are still asking. VPC

    March 14, 2014

    KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Searchers zeroed in Friday on a remote island chain in
    the Indian Ocean for a missing jet that may have flown for hours after it vanished.

    A Malaysian government official involved in the probe told the Associated Press on
    Friday that investigators are increasingly certain the aircraft turned back after
    losing contact and that someone with aviation skills was responsible for the change
    in course. The official declined to be identified because he is not authorized to brief
    the media.

    Indian ships and planes expanded their search to areas west of the Andaman and
    Nicobar islands chain, hundreds of miles from the intended course of Flight MH370,
    said V.S.R. Murty, an Indian Coast Guard inspector-general.

    Several media outlets reported that U.S. officials said the flight sent signals to a
    satellite for four hours after the aircraft vanished early Saturday, raising the
    possibility the jet with its 239 people aboard could have flown far from the search areas.

    ABC News reported that two U.S. officials said two of the jet's communication
    systems shut down separately shortly after the craft last communicated its position.

    The data reporting system, the officials said, was shut down at 1:07 a.m. as the jet
    was on course an hour after takeoff from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The
    transponder, which transmits location and altitude, shut down at 1:21 a.m.

    The officials could not say whether the mechanisms were shut down deliberately by
    someone in the cockpit or during a possible electrical failure in which various
    systems shut down one after the other.

    Pointing to the communication systems' separate shutdowns, a U.S. official told the
    Associated Press that investigators are examining the possibility of "human
    intervention" in the jet's disappearance, adding it may have been "an act of piracy."
    The official, who wasn't authorized to talk to the media and spoke on condition of
    anonymity, said it was possible the jet may have landed somewhere.

    While searchers moved ahead with the possibility that the jet flew well to the west
    of its intended flight path after communication ended, seismologists at a Chinese
    university reported Friday they had detected a slight "seismic event" on the
    seafloor between Vietnam and Malaysia at the spot where the jet was around the
    time it vanished.

    SEARCH EFFORTS: How you can help find the jet

    The University of Science and Technology of China's Laboratory of Seismology and
    Physics of the Earth's Interior said in an online statement that signals from two
    seismic monitor stations in Malaysia indicated that a slight tremor occurred on the
    seafloor around 2.55 a.m. Saturday, about 90 miles off the southern tip of Vietnam.

    The report, first carried by the South China Morning Post, noted the area is not an
    earthquake zone.

    "It was a non-seismic zone; therefore, judging from the time and location of the
    event, it might be related to the missing MH370 flight," the statement said.

    The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) located a magnitude-2.7 earthquake off the
    west coast of Sumatra at the time of the "seismic event" noted by the Chinese, said
    Harley Benz of the USGS National Earthquake Information Center in Denver.

    Benz said tremors of that size are a daily occurrence in the region, refuting the
    Morning Post's claim. Other earthquake experts said such seismic activity is unlikely
    to be caused by a plane crash.

    "It's very unlikely that the aircraft would have hit the undersea floor strong enough
    to cause a seismic event that we could detect," said Paul Caruso, a geophysicist
    with USGS.

    "The bump from the plane hitting bottom of the ocean would not be noticeable,"
    said earthquake expert John Vidale of the University of Washington.

    Malaysia's acting Transport minister, Hishammuddin Hussein, refused to comment
    Friday on the possibility that the jet had flown for hours off course. He said the
    investigation team will not address or release information about any of those claims
    or others until the suggestions have been verified and corroborated.

    "I hope within a couple of days to have something conclusive," he told the news
    conference in Kuala Lumpur.

    Much of the early search has focused east of Malaysia in the South China Sea,
    where the aircraft last communicated with air-traffic base stations about an hour
    after departing for Beijing.

    Two days ago, six Indian navy and coast guard ships, plus reconnaissance planes,
    began searching eastern parts of the Andaman sea. Friday, they headed west of the
    Andaman and Nicobar islands near the Bay of Bengal.

    There are more than 500 islands in that chain, many of which are richly forested
    and uninhabited.

    Thursday, The Wall Street Journal quoted U.S. investigators as saying they
    suspected the jet stayed in the air for about four hours after its last confirmed
    contact, citing data automatically transmitted by the jet's satellite communication link.

    Apparently there was a dude on board who wasn't supposed to be....an IBM executive from Texas.
    This is a misunderstanding:

    First, there is Philip Wood, from IBM, who was on board and is still missing:


    Then, there is Greg Candelaria, who works in global technology services for IBM. He was scheduled to be on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 but changed his plans:


    "Some would call this luck," he said. "I would absolutely consider it 100 percent the grace of God. Now, several days into this, it's still kind of a goose-bump freaky kind of thing." (source)

    So that there was no dude on board who wasn't supposed to be. The truth is that there was one dude who was supposed to be on board but was not.
