ROFLMAO – Hotel Mgr:

“We can’t wait for this to be  over, to tell you the truth,” he said in a sudden hush…

(Via Daily Mail)  Michelle Obama and three of her family  members are staying in a $8,350-per-night Beijing presidential suite, but  despite a 24-hour butler and other perks that come with the lodging, her  entourage has inconvenienced ‘pretty much everyone’ and made the hotel staff  ‘fed up,’ a well-placed hotel staffer has told MailOnline.
The sumptuous pad at the Westin Beijing  Chaoyang hotel – its website calls the room ‘an oasis of comfort –  is a 3,400-square-foot masterpiece including a private steam room, ‘corner sofas  with silk pillows,’ and in-room dining for six.
But the Obamas’ stay has already affected  staff and guests at the hotel, with the Westin front-desk veteran alleging that  Mrs. Obama’s mother Marian Robinson has been ‘barking at the staff since she  arrived.’
Government security forces from both  China  and the U.S. started Thursday to screen everyone who entered the  building,  including paying guests, setting up checkpoints that resemble those at airline  concourse entrances. (more…)

Bill Whittle lends his unique perspective as a pilot, and concludes that this Boeing 777 mystery was a certain hijacking.

AUSTRALIA – As the sun rises over the southern Indian Ocean the search resumes for missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 with possible objects discovered in the water deemed the “best lead” yet.
Four aircraft were tasked by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority to focus on a 23,000 square kilometre area about 2500 kilometres southwest of Perth.
The search planes set set off from Perth at 4am local time (7am AEDT) and it is expected they will take four hours to reach the search area.
They are investigating satellite data imagery which identified two objects possibly related to the missing Malaysia Airlines flight which disappeared on March 8 with 239 people on board. (more…)

Michelle Obama arrived in China on Thursday  for a weeklong visit that will steer  clear of politics and instead focusing on education and community.

The First Lady arrived in Beijing today,  accompanied by  daughters Sasha and Malia as well as her mother Marian  Robinson.   On Friday, she is to spend the day with Peng  Liyuan, the wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, something which diplomats hope  will build bridges between the two countries.

CNN is Reporting that Australian “authorities” are confirming that partial aircraft wreckage has been located.

All Global Media now confirm initial CNN report  – Australian Media
The Australian Prime-Minister, Tony Abbott, has given the media direct first-hand confirmation that they are reasonably sure they have located some of Malaysian Airlines 370 wreckage.
More air and sea assets are en-route to the vicinity for assistance, confirmation and recovery.

Here are the Satellite Images They are Working With:  (first image 24 meters – 79 feet)

Satellite imagery provided to AMSA …  of objects that may be possible debris of the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 in a revised area 185 km to the south east of the original search area.  (link)

Second object 5 meters – 17 feet:

@11:30 pm – Aerial Photographs of the wreckage have been taken by low flying reconnaissance aircraft and are currently en-route back to Australia.  Anticipated arrival back on mainland Australia 5hrs [Currently 00:00 (midnight EST) so photo’s should arrive approx. 05:00 am EST]  Here is Prime Minister announcement:

Update @1:00 am EST – Australian Press Conference (more…)

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…)
