The search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is also a way for the United States to test its latest piece of equipment – the P-8 Poseidon – “a militarized version” of the civilian Boeing 737 that can play multiple roles — one of them electronic intelligence and surveillance. The P-8 was only delivered to the 7th Fleet last December.
I was able to attend this afternoon’s briefing of the Commander of the US Seventh Fleet Vice Admiral Robert Thomas Jr., on the search and rescue mission. It was held on board the fleet’s command and control ship, the USS Blue Ridge.
I’d like to share with you guys some clips that I took of the briefing.
Thomas said the search was being done systematically, like “mowing a lawn.”
Another ship official later told me the job is like looking for a few men in an area between California and New York. UPDATE, the name of the official who answered my question is US Navy 7th Fleet spokesman Commander William Marks. Thanks, Jason Gutierrez of Agence France Presse for supplying his name and the exact quote:
“If you superimpose a map of the United States from the northern part of the Indian Ocean to the southern part of Australia, it is as if we are looking for a few people somewhere between New York and California and we don’t know where (they are).”
Thomas said they are confining their search to what’s on the surface of the seas, not under water or over land.
And the search will go on indefinitely.
And the search will go on indefinitely.
Kamison says
The missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 was piloted. Were the on board pilots only the ones in control of the aircraft?
Another plausible angle, a different approach or opposite of that of the pilots’ original route schedule. Towards North, it U-Turned & went Southward to Antartica.
Was flight MH370 remotely controlled?
Consider this –

“Political and economic sanctions may not have dissuaded Russia from annexing Crimea, but a group of Ukranian women have called for a different kind of embargo: No sex for Russian men.
“Organizers are also selling T-shirts with an image of two hands cupped together which, depending on how you look at it, resembles a prayer pose or a vagina.

Kalahari says
Flight 370 search resumes; families in limbo. Commercial satellite data from a U.S. company, first analyzed by Australian officials, as well as satellite data from China and France, have turned up evidence of debris bobbing in the general area where authorities believe the plane went down. Authorities cautioned that despite the narrowing the search area, it could still be sometime before crews find any sign of the airplane.
It’s a pretty remote area and weather conditions can get very, very bad, very, very quickly, said the Australian bureau of Meteorology.
The agony of waiting continuous for the relatives – and modern search planes and ships from many nations may get tired and give up.
moonie says
the last air france plane that crashed in the sea in brazil, it took 2yrs for expertst to find the blackbox.
already, the search for missing malaysian flight 370 is costing millions. ABS australia reported that if the 2 blackboxes of flight 370 are eventually found, they will only be able to tell what happened in the last 2hrs before the plane hit water. it’s possible we will never know why the plane’s transponder was switch off and why it deviated from its normal flight path and turned towards the indian ocean.
moonie says
you noticed that the debris 1st picked up by chinese satellite is very similar in size, shape and measurement as the debris later picked up by australian military trackers? the chinese said the debris was false alarm, but if it turned out to be the real deal, then precious time has been wasted.
Kalahari says
“You’re right Moonie. Searchers racing to find MH370’s block box face daunting hurdles ranging from undersea volcanoes to mountainous seas as they operate in one of Earth’s most remote locations, experts said last Wednesday.
“They warned there was no guarantee that an unprecedented international search operation involving the militaries of six nations would succeed in retrieving wreckage of the doomed Malaysian Airlines.
For the meantime, a US law firm based in Chicago started a “multi-million dollar” legal proceedings against Malaysian Airlines and Boeing Co. seeking documents pertaining to possible design or mechanical defects or conduct by the airline that may have led to the disaster.(PDI online 3/27/14)
The search for million bucks has already started even if the debris has yet to be found.

Russia To Create Own National Payment System In “Bid To Reduce Dependence On The West”

Kamison says
ON ‘PH offers US use of bases‘, are you (CPMers) in favor?
Although, “We are very cognizant of the limitations imposed by the Constitution and other applicable laws. So the Philippine panel works around those parameters, and so there should be no issue as to permanent basing,“ – Presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda. For maritime sovereignty over the West Philippine Sea (including Ayungin Reef and Scarborough Shoal), is the Philippines’ Executive Gov’t eyeing on a necessary convenience to tap into the US’ “pivot” or rebalancing of its forces in the Asia Pacific for its own additional security? [Yeah]
Or is China doing the bidding (coerce?) for Japan, Vietnam, South Korea, ASEAN member nations, including the Philippines to favor the US’ “pivot” or rebalancing of its forces in the Asia Pacific due to China’s assertive and aggressive expansionism in the South China Sea by it’s own “nine-dash” line policy.
“Let China interpret it. We don’t need to send a message.”
That was Presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda’s response to a question on what message the Malacañang is sending to China as the Philippines negotiates the United States’ increased military presence in the country.
Alternative Superpowers
China is aligned with Russia and Iran (BRICS). While the US (Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (“TPP”)) is currently in a global default fiat currency brinkmanship. Ironically, China is making enemies with its Asia Pacific neighbors.
It would be wise for China (as a responsible stakeholder) to seek peace with its neighbors, for a joint economic development of maritime and shale resources found in the waters, isles, islets and shoals. China’s renunciation of its “nine-dash” line policy over the WHOLE South China Sea would find favor & build partners for BRICS, while the US sorts out its financial and currency woes – domestically and with its global trading partners.

– PH-US base access deal needs Senate approval – Miriam, http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/03/16/14/ph-us-base-access-deal-needs-senate-approval-miriam
Kalahari says
China’s apparent assertiveness is akin to Russia’s forcible annexation of the Crimean peninsula – and we are similarly situated now with Ukraine who is frantically calling for international help to save them from the Russian bears.
Congress is a tough nut to crack when it comes to US bases due to Cory’s 1987 Constitution but it is obvious that if we don’t do some sacrifices like Gat Bonifacio, Diego Silang, Gen. Gregorio del Pilar and many brave Filipinos who willingly shed their blood for our Motherland, our western territories would be gobbled by the chinese bullies due to their military might.
Instead of congress approval, why not hold a referendum and let the people decide whether we should allow US bases in our midst again, especially in Palawan.
The leftist/maoist party-list representatives, together with their counterpart in the senate, will surely object noisily but they’re only a minority.
The near-sightedness of the “Dirty Dozen” senators who voted to kick-out the US bases in 1991, like butz aquino. erap, tito guingona sr, nene pimentel, sotero laurel, maceda. orly mercado, saguisag, wigfredo tanada, victor ziga, jovito salonga and enrile, or their heirs, should volunteer to lead a flotilla of suicide bombers to counter the mighty chinese navy who is continuously blocking the re-supply to our garrison in Ayungin Reef and water-cannoing our fishermen in Scarborough Shoal.
leona says
I say that our military should fire a 21 volleys from our 105mm artillery on those Chinese boats as a salute for our country’s defiance!
The Chinese will ultimately take our islets/islands anyway without us firing a single shot. Look what happened to Ukraine at Crimea…all its mil bases/soldiers surrendered to the Ruskies without a shot.
NATO has no force to stop Ruskies. It’s a paper-weight tigre only. In Asia, there is even no counter-part of that NATO. We have only OTAN = only talk-an.
Kalahari says
I say 22 for the Chinese agents in our midst. They’re so many and well-entrenched – like the taipans and the leftist representatives from party-list sectors who collect the same perks/porks like ordinary congressmen.

The “Dirty Dozen” adventurists? There are more pluses than minuses to send off the Americans, and end the US occupation in the Philippines. In another side of the token, it is ideal. However, political leaders of the day (e.g. Ferdinand Marcos, R Nixon) exploited this to the detriment of the Filipinos, for the advancement of US Military complex (imperialism) and private corporate interests in the PH.
—
As to your “… Russia’s forcible annexation of the Crimean peninsula.” WRONG
That is the mainstream’s line of malnews (by omission, half-truths, lies). Western Corporate Presstitutes’ propaganda skewed the pointers or realities of the breakup of Crimea from Ukraine.
There was a coup (initially by peaceful Ukrainians, but infiltrated by a mob of ultra nationalist and neo Nazis towards the end) to take over the Ukrainian gov’t. The legitimate leader fled to Russia to avoid a blood bath. Current puppet leader was appointed by US and EU corporate and oligarch interests (used NGOs as fronts). Crimea (by tradition and history of over 200 years +) was always Russian (Nikita Khrushchev gave Crimea to Ukraine as a gift during his term).
The result of the Crimea Referendum, the people decided to secede and declare independence from Ukraine. The Crimean political leaders applied to join or be restored back to Russia. The Putin gov’t approved their application to be merged back.
Force takeover by Russians and recent shooting were only at Ukrainian Military bases in Crimea.

I believe China is working for the principle of appeasement with it’s neighbors by taking from them what it is demanding as theirs.
For China, that is strength. For other Asian countries that is weakness. All of the latter will learn it later as a bitter lesson…could not defend their own kingdom!
There was in the 60s the saying “Better Red than dead!” Russia and China jointly believes now that inthe West and other freedom loving countries there is no more that Spartan Spirit’ of long ago against bullies.

Wala pang latest update on Manny Pacquiao’s US/PH Tax woes. See Raissa’s Article: Is Manny Pacquiao evasive about his taxes because he doesn’t want to reveal that he’s a US green card holder?. Now closed for comments).
Pero, here is something that is worth your time to watch, think and ponder on. Whether you are an American citizen or not, or just working for a salary or a wage earner with a visa, temporarily or permanently, in the US of A.
– Is there a law requiring Americans (including non citizens) to pay an income tax to the IRS?
– On Manny Pacquiao’s US’ IRS Tax Case(s), is he required to pay an income tax to the IRS at the outset?
What was Bob Arum’s (Top Rank founder and CEO, “who [also] worked as a taxation expert on Wall Street, for the District Attorney’s office in New York City.“) mode or type of tax payment(s) he made to the IRS in Manny Pacquiao’s behalf?
Bob Arum, who is supposedly an expert in US Tax matters, supposedly or rightly inform Manny that it is optional, and not mandatory?
Award winning film producer and filmmaker Aaron Russo produced a film documentary entitled America: Freedom to Fascism.
Watch and learn – it is an eye opener, and a wake-up call too.
Manny Pacquiao may not even be required to pay a personal ‘Income Tax’ from his boxing fetes in the US.

Under this comment thread for pambansang kamao’s tax woes in the US, a citizen (or non) may request, even by invoking the Freedom Of Information Act, an IRS official, investigator or even an assessor to produce or show the Law compelling a citizen to pay their income tax.
Freedom Of Information Acting, pinoy land
Are there inhibitions why the Executive is not that enthusiastic to have a Freedom Of Information Act (Law) in the Phils. under PNoy’s watch?
Why aren’t there any reports or documents of inventories of gold (TALLANO GOLD or not) held in the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) to date and made available to the public (incl. to the heirs or Julian Morden Tallano)?

What irritated me was when they (Xinhua) mock the Malaysian shaman’s when they did their ritual. Just because the Chinese don’t believe it, doesn’t mean they can ridicule other peoples beliefs. In fact the 10 satellite they are using is also a failure isn’t it?

true, martial. currently, out in the indian ocean, there are australian, new zealand, japanese, american as well as malaysian contigents doing further searches, even norway got involved. china did not send further searchers, ang gawain hindi yata kaya ng navy nila na may bagong refurbished vessel na pinagmamalaki, the distance might be too great. apparently, chinese feng shui turned on them and brought them bad luck instead of good luck.
naturally, like most things made in china that compromised quality, their satellite failed.

Thanks Martial. Our country was almost completely sold by gma to the chinese bullies had her 2010 presidential candidate won.
In the event of open hostilities with the bullies, their local agents will suffer from the backlash.
PNoy should expedite the acquisition of missile-firing fast gunboats from Japan, our second most important ally, who is more than willing to strengthen our defense to prevent the bullies from controlling the entire navigational routes in the south china sea. In such scenario, Japan and South Korea have no other recourse but to kneel before the descendants of Genghis Khan.
moonie says
he, he, ininsulto mo yata ang mga chinese, kalahari. genghis khan was not chinese. he was from mongolia, a mongol chief that rose to prominence. his decendants invaded china in late 13th centrury, and would have gotten all of china under mongolian control had tamarlane not died in the 14th century, and the total conquest of china was then shelved. that’s what I learned from history. under mongol rule, the chinese were allowed to practice their own culture but not allowed much input in court and adminstrative life. the mongols were not loved by the chinese then. local chinese ming dynasty took over and sent the mongolians home.

Kalahari says
If true, the hope of the kins of passengers has been crushed as the plane, after the maximum 7 hours flight time, or 3,000 miles, has likely crashed in the heart of what is known as the Indian Ocean Gyre. There is little to no oceanic current movement in the region and the area is notorious for trapping debris. It’s one of the five major gyres in the world’s oceans and is known to contain a “garbage patch”
The effectiveness of the US Navy Poseidon aircraft would be tested to the hilt.

IMHO, Victin, the plane was deliberately configured to be off-course and off-radar to crash at sea in an area far from maritime and airline routes with unlikely possibility of being discovered. The reasons maybe sabotage, suicide, hijack or whatever but the pilots knew their fuel capacity.

“It’s my belief that there was probably some type of struggle in the cockpit where it was one of the pilots that maybe had a meltdown or did something nefarious to the airplane, said Mark Weiss, a retired American Airlines pilot captain who has flown the Boeing 777.” (CNN 3/21/14)
“Or there could have been another crew member or an uninvited or invited guest in the cockpit who was bent on perhaps committing suicide or doing some destruction on the aircraft, Weiss added”
Kalahari says
Moonie, stories in the CNN Online today point to lots of possibilities on what could have happened on the MH370 such as pilots or crew members or uninvited or invited guests in the cockpit – but the sea of questions maybe answered when the voice recorder or black box is recovered.
But one thing is sure – the saga of MH370 that suddenly disappeared undetected for 12 days – a record in modern aviation and sattelites – has ended, but the mystery continuous.
moonie says
I’m following world news, logging in on both the australian and malaysian news online.
the flight simulator found in the older pilot’s home that was raided by malaysian police when checked, the data of the flight simulator have been erased prior to the flight. authorities are trying to recover the lost data now. pilots dont usually delete data in flight simulators.
the older pilot was relative of malaysia’s opposition leader anwar ibrahim daw and was present at court when ibrahim was sentenced. to me, it was like an eye for an eye. if anwar ibrahim cannot have freedom, then no one on board fflight 370 will have freedom too.
the contingents currently searching the indian ocean cannot locate the wrecks. maybe undercurrents moved them farther away. data bouys were dropped to track movement and direction of currents. hope they found the blackbox soon, they have less than 2weeks.

@moonie…my 2nd ‘roll-on’ theory:
that plane landed with it’s tail first, in the southern Indian Ocean; 2 ships were near the spot; loaded all the passengers/crews; cut the plane into parts loaded on the other ship.
…one ship brought the passengers/crews maybe to Ceylon now Sri Lanka for future negos;
…the other ship maybe sailed towards the western part of Australia, for same future negos.
…This is an assumption within a reasonable doubt contrary to the Malaysian PM’s assumption beyond a reasonable doubt.
3 months from now, these DEMANDS will be publicly revealed:
1.) free the embattled nemesis of Mahatir;
2.) pay all the expenses for the whole safe-keeping chores of the passengers/crew/airplane; and
3.) no charges, prosecution etc. on the conspirators.
My 3rd ‘roll-on’ theory coming soon asap…but a bit later.
moonie says
na chop-chop yata yong airplane. ginawang spare parts. those crying relatives may have wasted tears, when they should be preparing ransom.
maybe, the passengers are busy, they have learned to breathe underwater, and are veiwing dyesebel and ai ai’s entertainment. plenty food and company under the sea. there’s captain nemo, captain barbossa, the kraken, and if you’re lucky, jack sparrow might turn up bringing with him barrels of rum and dancing girls from jamaica.
anyhow, I’m angry with the pictures authorities showed us. google earth can give much clearer pictures, yet the military whose kakayahan is lot better and many times more sophisticated than google earth gave us grainy pictures. I supposed the military dont want anyone to know what kind of hardware and software they’ve got.
leona says
My first ‘roll-on’ theory is that the Malaysian plane LANDED intact in Malaysia…after diverting from it’s flight path! It’s camouflaged like a sniper on a ‘runway’ built for the purpose/plan. All passengers and crew are safe and sound.
The search parties will never see anything in/on all the Oceans.
What is the motive or plan for this seeming ‘mystery’ of that plane? A retired airplane Pinoy pilot unlisted passenger [the 240th] hid among the baggage compartment and after coming out took over that plane! Purpose: that China remove all it’s boats from all spots in the Philippine Sea claimed by the latter with a forthcoming message:
AYUN GIN! If China refuses, said Pinoy pilot will ask the families of the 160 Chinese passengers to create a 21st revolution in China and declare a true republican democratic form of government.
My 2nd ‘roll-on’ theory is coming….soon but later.

@leona,
ito ang the best!
hahaha.
sumakit ang tiyan ko…hahaha…
vander anievas says
may napanaginipan akong scenario:
isang malaking nasyon ang may pakana nang pagkawala ng mh370.
hihingan sila o kusang tutulong sa paghahanap sa nawawalang airline.
at matatagpuan naman nila ang mh370 sa pamamagitan ng kanilang modernong kasangkapan.
may hihingin naman silang kapalit.
pero matagal ang gagawin nilang paghahanap.
dahil may iba pa silang pakay.
ang tunay na pakay ay malabo sa aking balintataw.
nagising na ako.
moonie says
vander, 12 days na ang nakaraan, they have to hurry up. the blackbox only has 30 days to transmit signal. if not pick up soon, it will stop transmiting, its battery dead.
yeah, those chinese soothsayers, spritualists and seers are very quiet. they are supposed to be very good in seeing and forecasting the future. walang imik sila ngayon. pati yong mga cellphones ng mga pasahero ni walang isa sa kanila ang nagtext o nag-email. they passed one cellular tower before disappearing completely, yet nothing was pickup, no handshakes.

Moonie, there’s a lot of these spiritualists don’t say, but maybe they know that things are interconnected leading to a change in the lives of humanity. It is true that we don’t need someone in order for us to change our beliefs / consciousness, for it comes from within. We must be really looking at our history to know ourselves, maybe we have something special that other nations don’t , only we have forgotten ourselves, RELIGION. POLITICS are the twin evils and poverty is the effect… but the Ph has lots of money, pls research the Ph is the richest nation on earth.
Meanwhile, I post this leak and think if this is real.

netty, I once attend a lecture in sociology where the guest speaker was a spiritualist. the best spiritualist/psyhic around was supposedly american edward cayze. he was oddity and can pinpoint exact location of things lost. a gift he got from god daw, and charged nothing for consultation. except that people happy with his predictions left cheques under his door, sometimes in his letter box. after his death, there has been no one like edward cayze.
Johnny Lin says
Theories on missing Malaysia abound since disappearance; from midair explosion to bombing, crew sabotage to hijacking to cyber piloting. Nothing was conclusively proven by Malaysian authorities and powerful nations including USA.
Thailand was too busy subduing it’s civil disorder taking it 10 days before releasing their radar data on the plane’s whereabouts but at least they are in synchrony with Courtney Love pinpointing the exact location of the plane crash by only looking at computer memes circulating the web. Freedom loving Americans living in Colorado have declared that their cause legalizing the use of marijuana has proven its intended intellectual medical cure on the discovery of Courtney.
Now that the rabbit is out of the box, that is the commander of US 7th Fleet holding his press conference on a US battleship in the Philippines, these are the 3 most plausible theories where the Malaysian airline has ended and so far no media outlet or country has courageously put it out publicly:
1. It is somewhere in those tiny 7100 islands in the Philippines. — What else could be the reason the 7th Fleet commander will be holding his conference in the Philippines! They know where it is and holding their breath to give it as a surprise gift to PNoy to use as official presidential plane when Obama makes his state visit for giving consent to US military using Philippine military bases.
2. The Chinese are keeping the Malaysian plane as diplomatic Trojan to Philippine authorities on their Scarborough Shoal negotiations. — The airline was on its way to Beijing carrying many Chinese nationals. Who could have hijack the plane without resistance from that big group of Chinese unless the perpetrators are also Chinese? They are hiding the plane in one of the many uninhabited urbanized locales of China to gift to Philippine Military when they surrender Ayungin shoal so they can own a better, later model airplane since all PNoy could afford to buy them are abandoned decrepit WWII vintage aircrafts.
3. The most plausible theory and all well equipped powerful nations have not yet officially admitted the truth because they do not want to create panic out of tragedy……. The Aliens have arrived and abducted Malaysia Airlines.

apparently, malaysian police raided the older pilot’s house and found a flight simulator there. the pilot might have been practicing maneuvers that allow him to fly high and low undetected by radars . the pilot is said to be known political activist and close friend of opposition leader anwar ibrahim who was recently given jail sentence for sodomy. if the pilot was trying to obtain freedom for anwar ibrahim, let him be admitted to other country as political refugee or something, the plot thickens.
