Our working theory is essentially HERE.  While it represents a rough outline to explain the Malaysian Government reaction – it’s supported by more recent confirmations including: the passports of the two Iranian Nationals were used the year before to obtain Chinese entry visa’s in June of 2013.   In addition, a commercial flight fitting the profile of a Boeing 777  was potentially spotted flying through the Southern Maldives; just south of heavy shipping lanes which one would seek to avoid if flying dark.

Regardless of whether the Northern Route (through Western China/Himalayas) or Southern Route (around India – Maldives report) was taken, the destination becomes the real question.
Detection, or more aptly the ability to escape detection, is really a no-brainer.   No-one who actually has experience in intelligence or military disputes the ability to fly undetected into an autonomous region – “if you know what you are doing”.    The U.S. Military does it all the time with surveillance flights and drones.
If the theory of Islamists taking the flight is maintained – the supporting state/nation then becomes the larger issue.    Iran or Pakistan ? Both are within flight distance, and both have ideological elements within them which would support such an agenda.
So lets look at what Retired General McInerney has to say: (more…)

 Previously: “Watch The Maldives”   Now today:

HAVEERU NEWS – Residents of the remote Maldives island of Kuda Huvadhoo in Dhaal Atoll have reported seeing a “low flying jumbo jet” on the morning of the disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

Whilst the disappearance of the Boeing 777 jet, carrying 239 passengers has left the whole world in bewilderment, several residents of Kuda Huvadhoo told Haveeru on Tuesday that they saw a “low flying jumbo jet” at around 6:15am 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. (more…)

This is something the TV media are not reporting to the extent it is an explosive development.  

We know from media reports the two stolen passports were used by two Iranian Nationals.    We have previously been told the passports were used to try and gain entry to Europe their final destination.   However, if this report from the LA Times is accurate EVERYTHING changes and actually aligns with our theory of why the plane was taken.

BEIJING — Stolen passports carried by two Iranian men to board missing Malaysia  Airlines Flight 370 were used last year by two people applying for visas to  work as entertainers in China, according to the head of an entertainment  company. (more…)

The pilot moved his wife and 3 kids the day before the plane goes missing and we are only just hearing about this NOW ?   Good grief.. 

(Telegraph) […]  Evidence of a plot by Malaysian Islamists to hijack a passenger jet in a 9/11-style attack is being investigated in connection with the disappearance of Flight MH370.
An al-Qaeda supergrass (informer) told a court last week that four to five Malaysian men had been planning to take control of a plane, using a bomb hidden in a shoe to blow open the cockpit door.

A reliable outside Tree House military source says “watch the Maldives“... 

• Police investigate data from home flight  simulator of captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, 53
• Investigators speak of his ‘obsessive’  support for opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim
• Police officers fear  Ibrahim being jailed could have left Shah profoundly upset

(Via UK Daily Mail ) Police are investigating the possibility that  the pilot of missing Flight MH370 hijacked his own aircraft in a bizarre  political protest.
The Mail on Sunday has learned that Captain  Zaharie Ahmad Shah was an ‘obsessive’ supporter of Malaysia’s opposition leader,  Anwar Ibrahim. And hours before the doomed flight left Kuala Lumpur it is  understood 53-year-old Shah attended a controversial trial in which Ibrahim was  jailed for five years.
Campaigners say the politician, the key  challenger to Malaysia’s ruling party, was the victim of a long-running smear  campaign and had faced trumped-up charges. (more…)

INVESTIGATORS NOW BELIEVE THE MISSING BOEING 777 FLEW FOR 8 HOURS!
 (Via New York Post )  Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said Saturday that authorities now know the  transponder on the jet was intentionally disabled, and the plane turned back  from its flight to Beijing and flew across Malaysia. Najib said authorities are  now trying to trace the plane across two possible ‘corridors’ — a northern  corridor from the border of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan through to northern  Thailand, and a southern corridor from Indonesia to the southern Indian Ocean.
Malaysia’s leader said Saturday the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight  370 was the result of “deliberate action.”
Earlier, a Malaysian official said it was “conclusive” the plane was  hijacked. But Prime Minister Najib Razak said investigators are still looking at  all possibilities.
Najib said authorities now know the missing Malaysia airliner’s transponder  was intentionally disabled, and it turned back from its flight to Beijing and  flew across Malaysia. (more…)

Previous reports outlined that immediately after leaving Malaysian airspace and air traffic controllers two separate communications tools were shut down.   The capability to transmit radio messaging was shut down and then, twenty minutes later, both Transponders -the systems which identify aircraft location/status-  were manually turned off.   Now this:

REUTERS – Military radar data suggests a Malaysia Airlines jetliner missing for nearly a week was deliberately flown hundreds of miles off course, heightening suspicions of foul play among investigators, sources told Reuters on Friday.

Analysis of the Malaysia data suggests the plane, with 239 people on board, diverted from its intended northeast route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing and flew west instead, using airline flight corridors normally employed for routes to the Middle East and Europe, said sources familiar with investigations into the Boeing 777′s disappearance. (more…)

Given recent reports and media releases a growing contingent of people are beginning to wonder if this is a “tail wagging dog story”.     A constructed event diverting all international attention away from what is taking place with Russia, Ukraine – and to a lesser degree, Venuzela…..

Malaysian Authorities Do Not Find Missing Plane Where Chinese Satellite Images Showed Possible Debris.

Officials suspect that the plane flew for a total of five hours based on data automatically downloaded and sent back to Rolls Royce – the manufacturers of the Boeing 777′s engines. US counter-terrorism teams are now pursuing the astonishing possibility that the plane and its 239 passengers was diverted to an undisclosed location ‘with the intention of using it later for another purpose’.  (link)

The tickets were purchased by an Iranian middle man.  Apparently, the men were trying to flee Iran and illegally enter/immigrate to Europe.

(Via The Telegraph)  The two men travelling on stolen passports on the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 that mysteriously disappeared on Saturday have been identified as Iranian nationals.
The YouTube ID of mJrNpmGNIcY?feature=player_embedded is invalid.
A BBC Persian report quotes an Iranian friend of one of the men, who said he hosted the pair in Kuala Lumpur after they arrived from Tehran in the days preceding their flight to Beijing.
The friend, who knew one of the men from his school days in Iran, said the men had bought the fake passports because they wanted to migrate to Europe.  The pair were travelling on passports belonging to Christian Kozel, an 30-year-old Austrian, and Luigi Maraldi, a 37-year-old Italian. (more…)

The first pieces of an aircraft that mysteriously vanished in southeast Asia  Saturday may have finally been found.  Pieces of the Malaysia Airlines flight’s inner door and a piece of the tail  was found about 50 miles south-southwest of Tho Chu island, Vietnam officials  said Sunday, according to the Wall Street Journal.
CHINA – Thirty-four aircraft, 40 ships, and officials from no fewer than 8 countries are involved in the search.
That an international jet liner can apparently vanish while cruising at 35,000 feet, with no sign of a distress signal or trouble, has rattled the nerves and captured the attention of many. That is, after all, the safest portion of a flight.
Officials leading the search so far have been unable to identify a field of debris — which is unusual for a plane that may have plunged into the sea. “The fact that we are unable to find any debris so far appears to indicate that the aircraft is likely to have disintegrated at around 35,000 feet,” a source involved in the search told Reuters.
