Have you heard of this conspiracy theory re the disappearance of MH 370?

The story goes like this:

  The Americans are withdrawing from Afghanistan; one of their command and control systems (used for controlling pilotless drones) was hijacked by the Taliban when an American transport convoy was moving down from one of the hill-top bases.  The Taliban ambushed the convoy and killed 2 American Seal personnel, seized the equipment/weapons, including the command and control system which weighed about 20 tons and packedit into 6 crates.  This happened about a month ago in February, 2014.

What the Taliban want is money.  They want to sell the system to the Russians or the Chinese.  The Russians are too busy in Ukraine.  The Chinese are hungry for the system's technology. Just imagine if the Chinese master the technology behind the command and control system, all the American drones will become useless.  So the Chinese sent 8 top defence scientists to check the system and agreed to pay millions for it.

   Sometime in early March, 2014,  the 8 scientists and the 6 crates made their way to Malaysia, thinking that it was the best covert way to avoid detection.  The cargo was then kept in the Embassy under diplomatic protection.   Meanwhile the Americans have engaged the assistance of Israeli intelligence, and together they are determined to intercept and recapture the cargo.

  The Chinese calculated that it will be safe to transport it via civilian aircraft so as to avoid suspicion.  After all the direct flight from KL to Beijing takes only 4 and half hours, and the Americans will not hijack or harm a civilian airliner.  So MH370 is the perfect carrier.

  There are 5 American and Israeli agents onboard who are familiar with Boeing operation.  The 2 "Iranians" with stolen passports could be among them.

  When MH370 is about to leave the Malaysian air space and report to Vietnamese air control, one American AWAC jammed their signal, disabled the pilot control system and switched over to remote control mode.  That was when the plane lost altitude momentarily.

  Howcan the AWAC  do it?  Rememberthe 911 incident?  After the 911 incident, all Boeing aircraft (and possibly all Airbuses) are installed witha remote control system to counter terrorist hijacking.  Since then all Boeing aircraft could be remote controlled by ground control tower.  This is the same remote control system used to control the pilotless spy aircraft and drones.

  The 5 American/Israeli agents soon took over the plane, switched off the transponder and other communication systems, changed course and flew westwards.  They dare not fly east tothe Philippines or Guam because the whole South China Sea air space was covered by Chinese surveillance radar and satellite.

  The Malaysian, Thai and Indian military radars actually detected the unidentified aircraft but did not react professionally.

 The plane flew over North Sumatra, Anambas, South India and then landed at Maldives, (some villagers saw the aircraft landing) refuelled and continued its flight to Deigo Garcia, the American Air Base in the middle of Indian Ocean.  The cargo and the black box were removed.  The passengers were silenced via natural means, lack of oxygen.  They believe only dead people will not talk.  The MH370 with dead passengers were air borne again via remote control and crashed intothe Southern Indian Ocean, making people believe that the plane eventually ran out of fuel and crashed.   The defiant captain and copilot are then blamed.  

 The Americans have put up a good show.  Firstthey diverted all the attention to the search effort in the South China Sea while the plane made its way tothe Indian Ocean.  Then they came out with some conflicting statement and evidence to confuse the world.  Australia is the co-actor.

  The amount of effort put up by China, in terms of the number of search aircraft, ships and satellites, searching first the South China Sea, then the Malacca Straits and the Indian Ocean  is unprecedented.  This showed that the Chinese are very concerned, not so much because of the many Chinese civilian passengers, but mainlyfor the high value cargo and its 8 top defence scientists.

  Don't believe the story?  I don't expect you will, but let's wait and see how the episode unveils itself.  Or perhaps it will never be known until the next Snowden emerges.
