Immediately following the bloody Islamic terrorist train bombings of 2004 in Madrid, Spain, rock troubadour Willie Nile wrote and recorded a stirring, anguished, martial-sounding song titled Cell Phones Ringing in the Pockets of the Dead. His inspiration for the song came when he saw a newspaper headline with the same wording, the article being about the grim and grisly aftermath of the Madrid bombings. In an interview, Nile described reading the article:
‘…I’m reading the paper, and one of the headlines was “Cell Phones Ringing in the Pockets of the Dead.” And I went, “That’s not what I think it is.” And sure enough, in reading the article, it said that some 190 or so body bags lined up along the train tracks, and cell phones were going off in all the bags. And the workers were just flipping out and having a tough time dealing with that.’
Yesterday, I encountered an an eerily similar article, with an eerily similar headline, concerning the recent mysterious disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370. The headline in UK Daily Mail Online asks: “Why are the cell phones of Malaysian Airlines passengers still ringing?”
The strange and unexplained fact, now, is that when many loved ones and associates try to call the cell phones of missing passengers and crew, they hear ring tones and indications that the phones are, somehow, apparently still turned on and ringing–instead of calls just going straight to voicemail as they would if the phones were underwater in the ocean or otherwise destroyed/disabled. Furthermore, many passengers’ smartphone and social media profiles show them as logged in, online, and even active. Authorities are stumped as to why this is, as they are regarding all other aspects of the flight’s fate.
Pilot suicide and even “sudden jihad syndrome” has not been ruled out, especially seeing as there are plenty of precedents for that explanation. Islamic terrorists have been and are determined to strike at the aviation industry everywhere and anywhere they can. Would you fly on an airplane piloted by Muslims?
So far, we know about two young Iranian men flying together, on stolen passports, departing a majority-Muslim country (Malaysia is 61% Muslim) with one-way tickets to Beijing, and for connecting flights to Europe.
Then there is the 27-year-old co-pilot, Fariq Abdul Hamid. Two young Australian women have come forward with photographic proof that in 2011, while they were passengers on flight MH370, the same co-pilot, Hamid, was at the controls, and he was smoking cigarettes while he invited the girls into the cockpit to keep him company and pose for pictures with him and the pilot for the entire flight. Of course, such misbehavior by pilots indicate a wanton disregard for flight safety protocols at the minimum, and possibly a test-run of general policy violations, to see what could be gotten away with in preparation for a later coordinated hijacking (with the assistance of cohorts on board) at the worst.
Some are perplexed as to how and why Muslim terrorists might target a flight bound for Beijing, but those of us with a handle on happenings around the globe can give them a lesson: In July of 2012, six militant separatist Chinese Muslim Uyghurs attempted to hijack a domestic Chinese passenger flight. They were thwarted when the passengers and crew rose up and subdued them, beating two of the hijackers to death.
Uyghur Muslims are the same group of which 10 of their members carried out last week’s terrorist knife attack which killed and wounded scores of people at a Chinese train station, and whose terrorist members have also spent time in Guantanamo Bay U.S. military prison after having been captured on the battlefield in Afghanistan.
As for flight MH370, add in the new revelations about what experts call the otherwise ultra-reliable, ultra-advanced Airbus 777 having suddenly turned very sharply and inexplicably off-course to the West, as if deliberately steered in almost the opposite direction from where it was supposed to go, with the transponders at the front and rear of the plane apparently having been turned off (they are programmed to send emergency locator signals if, among other events, saltwater touches them), and the situation looks even more suspicious.
There have been multiple, sometimes bizarre precedents in aviation which provoke all kinds of comparisons and speculations about similarities. It took nearly two full years to locate the bulk of the wreckage of Air France flight 447 after it disappeared without communications while enroute from Brazil to Paris, crashing into the Atlantic Ocean, allegedly due to pilot error.
Further adding to the legends (both solved and unsolved) of mysterious aircraft disappearances, an expert on CNN recently described how two commercial airliners simultaneously once disappeared without explanation for many months. It was eventually learned, long afterward and contrary to all other theories which had been developed and investigated exhaustively, that they became hopelessly lost and eventually crashed because a satellite which was normally used to assist aircraft navigation had instead been diverted to help monitor a space shuttle launch–that explanation evaded authorities for many months afterwards, who had been stumped as to what happened to the planes, and why.
In July of 1996, TWA flight 800 infamously exploded and crashed into the Atlantic Ocean shortly after takeoff from New York City’s JFK airport. Conspiracy expert Jack Cashill, in his writings and documentaries, has effectively dis-proven the official government story which alleges a mere technical malfunction in that case.
Cashill not only thoroughly debunked the technical details put forth by the government; he provides ample eyewitness evidence indicating a missile fired at and hitting the plane, and evidence of an official cover-up by the Clinton administration not wanting to appear weak on international terrorism–just as with the abundance of evidence of foreign Islamic involvement in the Oklahoma City bombing, which Cashill and author Jayna Davis demonstrate as having been squashed by the likes of Janet Reno in the run-up to Clinton’s re-election.
Cashill urges everyone to not trust any official information coming out related to the mystery of flight MH370. I do, too. However, for the time being, we have to go on what we are provided.
Right now what we have to go on is not much more than the eerie, ominous echoes of cell phones ringing inside Davy Jones’ locker, and decades of airplanes being hijacked and blown-up by murderous Muslims.
I’m in
Oh, my.
Name-calling.
What a bad ass.
It is my personal opinion Humblegunner looks for factual material, not just opinion writing. Opinions are suppositions, whereas facts further truth about a subject, allowing for others to post other facts about that subject and that benefits all readers.
There are times I post an article of facts I wrote about some aspect of prepping (wrote it on another prepper website) but I only post it if we have that subject going on a prepper thread started by our “director”, Kartographer. I believe Humblegunner reads some of those articles and doesn't find them objectionable. However, when I post one, I usually notify him of the posting. And, I NEVER start a thread with an article of mine.
Bloggers starting a thread, who post part of their article so the reader has to leave FR and go to their blog to read the rest, in order for the blogger to get more hits on his/her blog, is not acceptable and I'm in total agreement with that. Their blog should stand on its own or die from no readers.
Stick with facts, not just opinion. As Sgt. Joe Friday said, “It's the facts, ma'am, just the facts.”
Malaysia has a large Chinese population which is dominant in the business, generally well to do.
Would a native Malaysian Muslim (the co-pilot) be fanatically sympathetic to the (perceived) plight Chinese Muslims? That might simply depend what Mosque he happened to attend and whom there he fell in with.
Airbus? I think not.

Check this out, here it says his wife & 3 kids moved out day before flight: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/missing-malaysian-airlines-fears-over-3247649
Responding to or even spending a second contemplating anything Humblegunner has to write is a waste of time.
He’s a one trick pony. Worse than Chett99 and his pit bull stories.
I enjoyed reading your article and it put some things into better perspective for me. Please don’t lessen your contributions based on the snarky comments of a basement dweller.
BTW, ignore any village idiot, town drunk, sociopath or troll hidden in plain sight on your thread :)
Could this be “gay rights terrorism”?

Excerpt:
Fears emerged tonight that the pilot of the missing Malaysia Airlines jet may have hijacked the plane himself as an anti-government protest.
Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah was a fervent supporter of his country’s opposition leader who was jailed for homosexuality - illegal in Malaysia - only hours before flight MH370 vanished with 239 passengers and crew on board, the Sunday Mirror can reveal.
Thanks so much, Bart.
Lol thanks, Cajun ;-)
Bless your heart. I was just thinking about the Dan Rather/fake Bush national guard memo thing in terms of Freeper activism a couple of hours ago, after this thread went the way it did...
A quick check of my sign-up date should have answered that for you.
You seem to believe that anyone posting an "original idea" here is in "error" for doing so.
You seem to think that everyone using Free Republic for self promotion is doing us a great favor.
Buckhead didn't write blog articles.
But that distinction is probably lost on you.
You will note that Mr. Joy posts only his own material:
http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/by:iching/index?tab=articles
If that doesn't just leap out and scream "self-promotion" at you, I won't be able to explain it to you.
I suggest you look again, then post a correction of your false statement.
Correction:
Brer Joy on rare occasion posts something someone else wrote.
As recently as last December.
Great moniker for him, lots of us are tired of his nonsense.
Thanks for posting, good article.
