Day 9 of the Malaysia Airline Flight 370 Mystery - Open questions remain . 1) How could a passenger jet, 74 metres long and with a 61-metre wingspan, apparently disappear for six hours before anyone raised the alarm ? 2) how could it cross the airspace of multiple countries in a region sensitive about security without anyone noticing ? 3) When the inspector general of Malaysian police announced that his officers were looking at several possible causes of the disappearance: hijacking, sabotage, or the crew and passengers' personal or psychological problems , were all crew and passengers cleared ? 4) whether the communication systems systems were shut off before or after air traffic control last spoke to the pilots. The calm "Goodnight" from the cockpit clearly raises questions if the systems had already been disabled. 5) Significant navigational experience as well as flight knowledge ( the timing of the diversion is also striking: just as the responsibility of Malaysia's air traffic control officials gave way to Vietnam's. The perfect opportunity for the plane to go missing with minimal attention ) , so if the pilot and co-pilot were not involved , who one the plane had such knowledge ? 6) Which leads to the basic question - what is the motive for this hi-jack ? 7) If this was a kidnapping , who is / are the target(s) and why not attempt to contact anyone to date , no ransom demand to date ? 8) If this was piracy - what was the booty - perhaps Malaysia Airlines will clarify what cargo ( from an one individual worth more than 500 , 000 or any one company worth more than a million dollars was carried in freight ? 9) If an act of terror , why no explosion evidence a week later , despite using the sophisticated techniques available today - and no debris found after a week or jet fuel observed ? Moreover , no one has claimed this event creditably to date 10 ) Have all military and civilian airbases within the flight range ( see visual aids section ) confirmed no observations of Flight 370 on either military or civilian radar or other communication systems and does that include Diego Garcia ? Will they make their communication data available to investigators ? Would such bases allow investigators access to clear each base as being a harbor / hiding place for the missing plane ?

It speaks volumes, I think, that Bonnie Greer was invited to give the first
of this year's *Lent Talks *on Radio 4.
That the BBC would choose someone like Bonnie Greer - a left-leaning,
arts-orientated writer - to open this year's series is hardly surprising.
(Even *Feedback*'s Roger Bolton would have to admit that.)
In fact, *I'd* go so far as to describe her as an entirely 'predictable
choice' for the left-leaning, arts-orientated BBC.
BTW, "left-leaning" and "arts-orientated" is certainly how I tend to think
of Bonnie Greer. She, however, seems to think of herself, first and... more »

Saturday, March 15, 2014New zombie medical drug to hit the streets
Jon Rappoport
*Activist Post*
It’s called Zohydro.
Clinical Psychiatry News (3/13) has the story. West Virginia Senator Joe
Manchin is protesting FDA approval of the drug. He’s written a stunning
letter to US Health and Human Services head, Kathleen Sebelius.
“…Sen. Manchin noted that the FDA approved the drug ‘despite strong
opposition from its own Anesthetic and Analgesic Drug Products Advisory
Committee.’”
This is highly significant. The FDA turned its back on its own panel of
new-drug reviewers.

Ohio Progressive Greg Howard Takes On The Deranged GOP Response To President Obama's Weekly Address on Overtime Pay

This morning, President Obama gave the above weekly address about

that lets them support their families, know a little economic security, and
pass down some hope and optimism to their kids." It's less than 3 minutes

Malaysian Airline Flight 370 Diverted ? Day 8 Updates ! Diversion of MH370 airliner was a 'deliberate act', says Malaysian PM ! Key takeaway : based on satellite communication and analysis by FAA / NTSB / AAIB and Malaysian Authorities , the plane’s last communication with the satellite was in one of two possible corridors: a northern corridor stretching approximately from the border of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan to northern Thailand, or a southern corridor stretching approximately from Indonesia to the southern Indian ocean . With a diversion being the new consensus , what is the status of the passengers and crew ? If this diversion was a hijacking , why haven't the hijackers communicated any demands in a full week of mystery ? The Southern Corridor ( with the Cocos Islands as a diversion landing point ) , may be more likely a path - if the diverters idea was to avoid radar detection ( which would have been much more likely with the northern corridor )
