“biggest entertainment crime ever perpetrated upon the American TV viewer”

Agree completely. The show was a complete fraud. In fact, I pretty much quit watching TV after that except for a little sports and news.

It’s buried in the End Zone at Giants Stadium.

CNN has a new website format, and they want everyone to visit.

Then you were saved from a few years of ignorant viewing trying to divine some purpose and actual story to the thing.

Unmitigated RIPOFF. It rambled on for years, each episode revealing a ‘veil’ and adding another. Fantastic sensationalized horsesh!t by a team of writers who undoubtedly were stoned to their gills, each week pulling fantasia from their keesters. Viewership finally dwindled some or the producers caught their addicted writers during one of their “creation” sessions, or something..who knows.

Anyway, it came time to wrap all that priors years’ crap into some kind of coherent story baseline. The bottom line last episode......they were ALL dead and somewhere in the afterlife - they wouldn’t even say “heaven”.

Think “Dallas” and the Bobby Shower Scene and the “it was all a dream” sequence. Then drop two tons of horsesh!t on that, bake it; smoke it along with some Peyote, weed; do a few lines of coke, and then shoot up a needlefull and you have this series’ “coherent storyline.”

I feel like I was raped by that series.

Interesting article, anyway. I liked his comment that Putin may have pulled it off as a warning to Obama b/c of the sanctions. Who knows?

Ah, but the strawberries! That’s, that’s where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, and with, with geometric logic, that, that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox did exist.

What if you hijack a plane and repaint it to make it look like someone else’s aircraft when you finally use it to do whatever you’re planning? That way someone else gets blamed for what happened.

For instance, repaint a 777 with American Airlines livery and then slam the thing into the Kaaba in Mecca. No matter what denials the US makes the entire Muslim world will be forever enraged at America because in their minds an American Airlines plane destroyed their holy site.

While this is certainly fanciful I would not put it past Putin, a KGB agent, to run a ‘maskirovka’ like this because that’s the kind of thing that the KGB excelled (excels?) at.

Okay, a little “carzy,” but well written, and at least he doesn’t take himself too seriously.

Why bother to hijack it? You can buy a plane and paint it however you like.

Boneyards are everywhere:

If you’ve got the cash (like if you were backed by Saudi oil) you can get a plane with varying levels of paperwork. Park in a place with bad weather and do a little insurance fraud and you can even make it so nobody knows you have a plane.

You’ll notice a bunch of those boneyards are in Russia, if Putin wants a plane Putin gots a plane.

The hijack angle just never made sense. It’s a harder way to get a plane, with a lot more complication and a lot more opportunities for it to go wrong.

The theory of “what happened” seems plausible. The open questions throw huge doubt - what happened to the passengers? Why bury the plane? For what reason was the entire event, as theorized, carried out?

Not that I believe his conclusion. But this is hardly tinfoilhat stuff.

One thing is for certain, he's put a lot of time and thought into all of this and it makes more sense than what the authorities have been telling us.....

It doesn’t take rocket science to convert a Boeing into a drone, what about all those crash survivability tests of decades ago?

No nukes are necessary to obliterate the Kaaba & the grand mosque in Mecca. A diving airliner full of fuel is practically overkill in that case. Saudi air defenses? Ha. Ha ha.

Only question left is who would benefit from kicking over the world’s biggest hornets nest? China? Putin? Certain Muslim sects?

His guess is as good as anyone’s

Nobody else has figured out where it got to.

The hijack angle is making more sense with every passing day that the airliner goes missing.

Not at all, actually the opposite, the longer it goes unfound the more likely it crashed into the ocean. The ocean eats things. We’ve watched things crash into the ocean and had a hard time finding the actual wreckage. Break something up in deep water with strong currents and lots of stuff growing and it’s just basically gone, maybe centuries from now some very deep sea diver might find some pieces while on vacation. That’s generally how things get recovered.

For my two cents, that thing’s in a Burmese swamp.

“And yet, once I started looking for evidence, I found it. One of the commenters on my blog had learned that the compartment on 777s called the electronics-and-equipment bay, or E/E bay, can be accessed via a hatch in the front of the first-class cabin.15 If perpetrators got in there, a long shot, they would have access to equipment that could be used to change the BFO value of its satellite transmissions. They could even take over the flight controls.”

Oh c’mon! Who would leave a security hole this big in a plane? Geez!
