I think this is where they're getting the Kyrgyz/Chinese border thing from. The last ping was sent from somewhere on this red line. I'm presuming those Malaysian officials have some extra information which leads them to believe it's on the northern line and not the southern one.

Other than wishful thinking? I doubt it. I think its more likely that its now on the ocean floor somewhere west of Australia, and will never be found.

The dark occultic season of sacrifice (season of mass casualties through false flags) starts from the Spring Equinox of March 20th this year to the Solstice of June 21st. Traditionally this is the season of sowing the seeds and fertilizing the ground and conducting fertility related rituals for a good harvest.

In dark occult traditions the belief is that the soil must be fertilized with blood through sacrifice ("tree of liberty must be fertilized with the blood of patriots and tyrants") and reap the desired 'harvest'.

Its just 5 days to the beginning of the season of orchestrated false flags, with Hitler's birthday on the 20th April as a possible false flag date up to the Beltane Ritual of May 1st.

Assuming the plane is in Diego Garcia, they would be setting the wheels in motion for whatever they are planning, be it the flashpoint in Ukraine or someplace else to galvanize the world into World War 3. The mystery cargo that Sorcha Faal mentioned, assuming it isn't disinformation, might be the stuff required to carry out the false flag that by diverting the flight they prevented the Chinese on Hainan Island from finding out.

Meanwhile up to that point the world's attention will be focused on the search in the Andaman Islands. The disappearance of MH370 has already hogged the headlines effectively over the crisis in Ukraine, hoping less people will voice opposition to what's going on over there, and the latest moves to search that part of the Indian ocean will keep attention away from the situation in Ukraine.

The chess pieces are probably already falling in place. Whatever happens we will have to stay away from getting emotionally sucked into World War 3.

I'm still going with the theory that the crew and passengers defected to Antarctica. It's within range of those satellite pings. It's quite likely that they're building their post-capitalist utopian society as we speak...

The hijackers didn't kill everyone with hypoxia or jam all the cellphones. They told the passengers to watch the television screens for an important safety announcement then played a hypnotic subliminal brainwashing video to create a small army of sleeper cell terrorist agents to disperse around the world.

That works just as well at 35,000 or even high 20's for that matter.

I heard an "expert" mention the 45k feet number and I was really amazed, I don't know much about aviation but I know that hypoxia starts well below cruising altitude of commercial jets, any aviation "expert" should have this basic grasp of aviation seeing as if the cabin depressurized they would have to declare and emergency and immediately drastically lower their altitude before the limited supply of emergency oxygen ran out.

Would it kill/incapacitate passengers significantly faster at 45k than whatever's normal? Those altitude chamber videos posted, those guys seemed like would still have some fight left in them for a minute or 2.

Edit and is there portable oxygen equip available on an airliner like has been posted? Or a fixed system in the cockpit that lasts longer than the 15 mins passengers get?

How exactly would you deliberately depressurize the cabin in mid-flight? Would you need to puncture the fuselage somehow or is there a mechanism for it?

If you ever get the chance to do an altitude chamber ride to 25K dance around and throw a few punches and report back with how that worked out for you. They won't have a minute or two fight in them because at 45K there's no, what's the word...air. FYI at 50K military pilots are required to wear a full pressure suit regardless of whether the cabin is pressurized or not.
