Was the missing Malaysian airliner the victim of a terrorist test run? [VIDEO]
The Daily Caller ^ | 10 Mar 2014 | Brendan Bordelon

Posted on 03/10/2014 5:44:30 PM PDT by mandaladon

New information on two passengers from Malaysia Air Flight MH370 — which disappeared without a trace off the coast of Vietnam on Friday — raises the possbiilty the plane was bombed as a terrorist test run. If confirmed, the guilty organization’s silence means more attacks may be forthcoming.

While reports remain unsettled, most agree that two unknown individuals purchased tickets for the flight stolen fake Italian and Austrian passports. More ominously, the tickets were purchased together through an Iranian middleman, known to a travel agent only as “Mr. Ali.”

Terrorist organizations usually claim responsibility for their attacks, especially successful ones. But it wouldn’t be the first time an airliner was bombed without a confession and with false passports, and some experts can’t help but compare this mystery to an earlier bombing plot.

911 <-—— Landing training not even needed.

Boston Atrocity <-— Passports not needed after warning

Malaysian ??? <—— Stolen passports ignored

Waterboard anyone associated with these guys. That reminds me, hows Jarrett’s ‘SECRET DEAL WITH IRAN’ going? Has anyone been allowed to READ IT, YET?

Reminds me of the underwear bomber and the third party unknown guy that bought his ticket and got him on the Detroit plane. Wasn’t there some problem getting him on the plane?

Given the stolen passports slipping through the system successfully, there could be a dozen airliners up right now with terrorists on board doing the exact same thing.

Meanwhile, worldwide governments stick their thumbs up their collective asses!

My thoughts as well. The malefactors are alive and well.

Blowing the airliner up would indeed have been a terrible and cruel way to murder hundreds of people.

I’m more concerned — and I don’t know anything about piloting, air control, etc. — that there is some way that plane was taken to an airfield for later use in a 911 type attack.

I wouldn’t expect the target to be the US. That seems a long way to fly undetected, and the odds of another landing site for refueling would be next to impossible.

What would be a nearby target of high value that an airline flying on the deck could take out?

Until someone finds wreckage (and an oil slick doesn’t count), I’m not convinced it went down.

Iran stole our 'top secret' drone with no repercussions, so why not a commercial aircraft? That's a daunting task, but so are most thefts.

American intel says no evidence of an explosion detected in that area by satellites. A real head scratcher. F-16's, F/A-18's and F-22's on full alert I hope.

Remember Terry Nichols, McVeigh’s army buddy and older partner?

On his last flight home to the USA from a part of the Phillipines famous for Abu Sayef, airport security caught him trying to secret aboard the flight items that were identified as BOMB components.

Before his last flight he had left money for his wife “in the event that I never return”.

One Abu Sayef operative told police in interrofgation that one American they once met with was called “The Farmer” and that he had been an American solider and farmer.

Those two things were both true of Terry Nichols —farmer and ex-soldier.

It is obvious that this plane was hijacked. After it was commandeered the hijackers lowered its altitude below radar level. They were then able to take it to some obscure landing location without be detected.

The 9/11 hijackers also turned off the transponders of the aircraft as soon as they had control.

I agree we should be on the alert.

The Americans have not had the use of a dedicated carrier-berthing port in the region since The Philippines curtailed the Subic Bay and Clark Field leases in 1992.

The only other South-East Asian facility capable of handling aircraft carriers, Malaysia's Port Klang, is occasionally visited by US vessels, but there is no base agreement between the two countries.

Make no sense. The world tipped off to their methods.

Yousef boarded the flight under the fake Italian name “Armaldo Forlani”

Reminds me of the underwear bomber and the third party unknown guy that bought his ticket and got him on the Detroit plane. Wasn’t there some problem getting him on the plane?

Yes.

Witnesses reported seeing him have a very hard time getting on the plane initially. Then, they said, a better-dressed Caucasian gentleman with an air of authority interceded at the counter. Thereafter, Mr. Underwear was able to board and burn off his penis.

There were also reports that the authorities feared there was more than one bomb on board and that they were prevented from coming anywhere near their unloaded luggage.

The intercession from the honky and the fact that the bomber was permitted to bring a bomb (of sorts) aboard has led many to scream, "false flag", but THINK MORE:

If they had arrested him BEFORE he boarded, Mr. Underwear's buddies would have immediately concluded that they had a MOLE in their ranks --a realization that would have likely led to the death of that mole, OUR SOURCE.

So if you want to protect your source for future timely info ironically you MUST permit a bombing OF SORTS to actually go off --scary, huh?

You see, in this way Undewear, Inc. concludes that the bombing failure was owing to the bomber's own INCOMPETENCE, and not due to a MOLE:

no mole hunt = mole survives = you can still disrupt future operations against you.
