Making a Boeing 777 with 239 crew and passengers vanish without a trace isn’t easy. Maybe a rogue pilot or a hijacker could pull it off. Or, it may be so difficult only a government — specifically, an intelligence agency– could do it. What little we actually know about Malaysian Airlines MH370 suggests the plane was intentionally diverted. But why? And by whom? As for where it ended up, we have only experts’ educated guesses, with no confirming physical evidence.
The most compelling argument for a black ops scenario is that it takes the resources and know-how of a government intelligence agency to make a commercial jetliner disappear without a trace. Also, given the today’s technological capabilities, how could governments with advanced surveillance capabilities (such as ours) not know where the plane is? In a black ops scenario, the plausible response is they do know, but they’re not sharing, because they’re in cahoots or sympathy with whoever did it.
One of the more intriguing facts about MH370 is that a group of 20 employees from a high-tech company were aboard. Could they have been a target of someone, either for kidnapping or assassination? Who has been “disappearing” scientists and engineers recently? Well, Mossad, one of the world’s most capable black ops agencies has been trying to impede Iran’s nuclear program by targeting people working for it. Was there a connection between any MH370 passengers and Iran’s nuclear program? To the best of my knowledge, I don’t think so, but it’s an interesting question.
I’m not insinuating that Israel killed a planeload of innocent people to get at a few it considered dangerous, although clearly people are capable of such acts — in the U.S. alone, at least four airliners have been blown up by bombs, usually to collect life insurance on a passenger. But even if MH370’s disappearance was a black op, there are other countries that might be responsible. It just seems a little weird that our government is contributing only minimal resources to the search, and is making only desultory efforts to help find the plane — as if they already know it’s not where searchers are looking and/or don’t want it to be found — even though some American citizens and a bunch of employees of an American company were aboard
In any case, this is all speculation, nothing more. What I know for sure is the plane isn’t hidden in my garage. It wouldn’t fit. Nor is my backyard big enough to dig a hole to bury it. So stop looking at me like that.
I didn’t do it.
