The odds are so astronomical that China could just “happen upon” the exact location of the missing airliner’s black boxes…..  such that, something else would be ab-so-lute-ly at play if this report turns out to be accurate. 

PERTH, Australia (AP) – A Chinese ship involved in the hunt for the missing Malaysian jetliner reported hearing a “pulse signal” Saturday in southern Indian Ocean waters with the same frequency emitted by the plane’s data recorders, as Malaysia vowed not to give up the search for the jet.
The Australian government agency coordinating the search for the missing plane said early Sunday that the electronic pulse signals reportedly detected by the Chinese ship are consistent with those of an aircraft black box. But retired Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, the head of the search coordination agency, said they “cannot verify any connection” at this stage between the electronic signals and the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
Military and civilian planes, ships with deep-sea searching equipment and a British nuclear submarine scoured a remote patch of the southern Indian Ocean off Australia’s west coast, in an increasingly urgent hunt for debris and the “black box” recorders that hold vital information about Malaysia Airlines Flight 370’s last hours.

Open Topic Discussion – Anything Goes…

Do you think the search team, or more importantly the statistical probability team, have any real substantive chance of EVER finding it ?

Gee, ya think.  Figured that out all on your own did ya ?

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (CNN) — The investigation into Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is now classified as a criminal investigation, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing the Malaysian police chief.

Inspector General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar said authorities have already recorded more than 170 statements and will interview more people for the Flight 370 probe, the Journal said.

But Bakar cautioned that what happened with Flight 370 might still be unknown after the investigation.

He added that the investigation into the flight simulator in the pilot’s house is still inconclusive. Authorities are awaiting an expert’s report on the simulator, he said. (more…)

Disclaimer:   Recent publications within the blogosphere paint a rather remarkable possibility.   HOWEVER, what I’m outlining here is the connection of them, and NOT the validation of them.
That said, a recent EXPLOSIVE ASPECT is either a very sick mind at play who has a really good technical capacity to create a possibility, OR – the genuine, albeit frightening, event.

Y’all know what our initial take was.  If you don’t well, go look through the 3 weeks of archives.    When the possibility of a “false flag operation” was raised, we outlined specifically who would benefit from it, why they would do it, and why they would do it now.
This latest web-reporting development goes in the direction of that “false flag”.
It begins with the discovery of a picture uploaded to the web reported with the following headline:  “IBM ENGINEER TAKEN FROM HIJACKED FLIGHT 370 GOT A SELFIE OUT TO THE INTERNET”   The article is HERE.
In essence the article says that MH-370 Passenger Philip Wood was able to post a picture to the web on March 18th 2014 along with the text:

I have been held hostage by unknown military personal after my flight was hijacked (blindfolded). I work for IBM and I have managed to hide my cellphone in my ass during the hijack. I have been separated from the rest of the passengers and I am in a cell. My name is Philip Wood. I think I have been drugged as well and cannot think clearly.

*tap*tap*tap,… *ahem*… Not to be all Captain Obvious, but what was the CIA Benghazi mission about again ?

The dots are all brutally obvious.   Team Putin (Iran/Russia) squishing Team Bam-Bam in EU and Syria.   In retort, Team Bam-Bam (Saudi Arabia/USA) poke eye of Assad.   Bam-Bam’s BFF Erdogan (Turkey) openly planning false flag operation against Assad.  …. and Who was Ambassador Stephens meeting with on 9/11/12 ?   Uh huh. 

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — (<– Huffington Post ) The Obama administration is considering allowing shipments of new air defense systems to Syrian rebels, a U.S. official said Friday.
President Barack Obama’s possible shift would likely be welcomed by Saudi Arabia, which has been pressing the White House to allow the man-portable air-defense systems, known as “manpads,” into Syria. Obama arrived in Saudi Arabia on Friday evening for meetings with King Abdullah.
Allowing manpads to be delivered to Syrian rebels would mark a shift in strategy for the U.S., which until this point has limited its lethal assistance to small weapons and ammunition, as well as humanitarian aid. The U.S. has been grappling for ways to boost the rebels, who have lost ground in recent months, allowing Syrian President Bashar Assad to regain a tighter grip on the war-torn nation. (more…)

Within 36 hours of Malaysian Flight #370 “going poof” our in-house aviation military expert [still active] said “watch the Maldives“.

Our response resembled the typical Tree House intellectual eloquence we are known for:  “Huh“?
At the time everyone was looking at the China Sea and East, why the heck would this jackrabbit say “watch the Maldives”, and more importantly “where the heck are the Maldives”?   Have another beer, borrow another $250, lets see if we can buy a vowel and get a clue.
International pesky GMT’s always hamper communication when you need it.   It took several days of phone tag before we could interrupt the seemingly perpetual BBQ and ask the question: “why the Maldives“?

On the advice of our primary source you might have noticed we had not updated any information about Malaysian Airlines Flight #370 for several days.
One of the reasons for us standing pat was very insightful intel from a good Treehouse friend who knows more about covert aviation capability than we could ever comprehend.   He advised us three days ago the assumptions would more than likely shift dramatically. Last night that exact situation happened.

The Australian authorities are now saying all satellite imaging (debris field) should be discarded.   In addition they are adjusting the search area 684 miles North and East of the initial search area.   In essence they are back to square one.
Our source predicted exactly that.   Why? (more…)

(Australia) […] (N)ew satellite images released yesterday found about 122 objects floating in the southern Indian Ocean.
HMAS Success remains in the search area about 2500 kilometres southwest of Perth and was joined by four Chinese ships — Xue Long, Kuulunshan, Haikon and Qiandaohu — in the search area.  Two Royal Australian Air Force P3 Orions, a Japanese Gulfstream jet, a US Navy P8 Poseidon and a Japanese P3 Orion will fly sorties throughout the day.
Five civil aircraft will fly to the search area.

The objects detected by a French satellite, measuring from one metre to 23 metres long, were picked up four days ago and sent to the Australian search co-ordinators yesterday.
Some of the objects appeared to be bright in colour and possibly of solid material.

This article summed up in two words:  “Allahu Akbar” !!
(Via UK Daily Mail) The pilot of doomed flight MH370 was devastated over his wife’s decision to move out of their family home, and could have taken the plane for a ‘last joyride’ before it crashed into the southern Indian Ocean killing all 239 people on board, says a long-time friend of the pilot.

The friend, also a pilot, said Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah didn’t appear to be in the right state of mind to be flying, warning that it was ‘very possible that neither the passengers nor the other crew on-board knew what was happening until it was too late’.

The Malaysian authorities are seemingly incapable of confronting the severity of the issues which would surround the disappearance of flight 370.    Western media, trapped inside the zone of political correctness, are unwilling to dig through the obfuscation.

Islam and Radical Muslim issues around a hijacking are far too disconcerting for the central Asian authorities to confront.   They just don’t want *that* conversation.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — It was the unwelcome, anguishing news that families of the missing had dreaded, and when they heard it from Malaysia’s prime minister Monday night there were shrieks and intense heartbreak: The missing Malaysian Airlines flight whose fate was a mystery that consumed the world had crashed into a remote corner of the Indian Ocean.

The news, based on fresh evidence gleaned from an unprecedented analysis of satellite data, meant it was all but impossible that any of the 239 passengers and crew on board the jetliner could have survived.
