2 killed in shooting near Crimea military research center, 'sniper detained' 19 Mar 2014 Two people -- a self-defense member and a Ukrainian soldier -- were killed after snipers opened fire from a partially inhabited building near a military research center in Simferopol. One sniper was reportedly detained, another is on the run. According to RT information, the scene of the shooting is a small Ukrainian military topography research center, and the majority of the staff who work there are women. The center's area is rather small, and servicemen have only six machine guns and three Makarov guns to provide security. The center reportedly decided to join with Crimea and Russia and was preparing paperwork to go over.

Missing Malaysia Airlines plane: plea to US to release Pine Gap data --Information 'being withheld' 19 Mar 2014 Malaysia believes data from US spy satellites monitored in Australia could help find missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 but the information is being withheld. The country's Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein has specifically asked the US to share information obtained from the Pine Gap base near Alice Springs, according to the government[as opposed to corporate]-controlled New Straits Times newspaper. The New Straits Times newspaper on Wednesday led its coverage of the missing plane with a story referring to Pine Gap as a "super-secret" installation in the barren Australian heartland that could solve the puzzle of the mystery disappearance. The newspaper quoted Mr Hishammuddin as saying Malaysia would "appreciate" if the US could provide investigators with data from its facilities in Australia. [Pine Gap: 'Partly run by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and the U.S. National Security Agency, the station is a key contributor to the global surveillance network ECHELON.']

Malaysian plane: 20 passengers worked for ELECTRONIC WARFARE and MILITARY RADAR firm 18 Mar 2014 A US technology company which had 20 senior staff on board Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 had just launched a new electronic warfare gadget for military radar systems in the days before the Boeing 777 went missing. Freescale Semiconductor, which makes powerful microchips for industries including defence, released the powerful new products to the American market on March 3. Five days later, Flight MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur with 239 people on board including 20 working for Freescale. Freescale's shareholders include the Carlyle Group [!] whose past advisers have included ex-US president George Bush Sr and former British Prime Minister John Major.

Stealth Technology Seizure Behind MH370 Disappearance - Analyst 17 Mar 2014 Malaysian Airlines flight 370 was deliberately targeted for hijacking, according to Captain Field McConnell, a retired Delta Airlines pilot and a retired United States Air Force F4 and F16 fighter pilot. Capt. McConnell cites industrial espionage for a cutting edge military technology as the reason behind the airliner's disappearance. "There were 20 Chinese software engineers in the aircraft, riding as passengers, and they were working for Freescale Technology in Austin, Texas, and they had the intellectual property of an open patent. In other word[s], a patent had been applied for, but yet -- not yet granted. And the ownership of that patent was 20%, 20%, 20%, 20% and 20% for the U.S. Corporation named Freescale. And until that patent is granted, there is no ownership,” McConnell said.

Missing MH370: Impossible to hide plane with electronic warfare tech, says expert 19 May 2014 It is "impossible" for the MH370 aircraft to be hidden from radar using electronic warfare technology, said an electromagnetics expert. University of Toronto researcher Dr George Eleftheriades, an expert in cloaking technology, explained that the technology was still in its infancy and thus not easily available. "This invisibility technology is still in the laboratory stage and not readily available. Moreover, it would seem impossible to fit the airplane with such a cloak while in flight." Speculations have been rife, especially on various news portals, about the possibility that the missing aircraft could have been "hidden" using cutting-edge electronic warfare technology that can hide a plane from the radar. Fuelling further speculation was the fact that there were 20 experts from US-based company Freescale Semiconductor, which manufactures hi-tech weapons systems and aircraft navigation, on the plane.

Island of Diego Garcia Factors into Mysterious Malaysia Flight Theories 18 Mar 2014 Theories about what happened to missing Malaysia Flight MH370 now span a 2 million-plus square mile area of open ocean and southeast Asian land, including one mysterious island in the Indian Ocean known as Diego Garcia. Many theories have included Diego Garcia as a notable landing strip. The island atoll is a British territory in the central Indian Ocean and is home to a United States Navy support facility -- not exactly a U.S. base, but a home for 1700 military personnel, 1,500 civilian contractors, and various Naval equipment.

Missing MH370: Diego Garcia 'Remote Airstrip' on Pilot's Flight Simulator - Report --'No evidence' that plane crashed 18 Mar 2014 [This story will be updated.]

Malaysian Flight 370 Hijacked by US Navy to protect 'Suspicious Cargo' - Russia 15 Mar 2014 A new report circulating in the Kremlin prepared by the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces (GRU) states that Aerospace Defence Forces (VKO) experts remain "puzzled" as to why the United States Navy "captured and then diverted" a Malaysia Airlines civilian aircraft from its intended flight-path to their vast and highly-secretive Indian Ocean base located on the Diego Garcia atoll... Interesting to note, this report says, was that Flight 370 was already under GRU "surveillance" after it received a "highly suspicious" cargo load that had been traced to the Indian Ocean nation Republic of Seychelles, and where it had previously been aboard the US-flagged container ship MV Maersk Alabama. What first aroused GRU suspicions regarding the MV Maersk Alabama, this report continues, was that within 24-hours of off-loading this "highly suspicious" cargo load bound for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, the two highly-trained US Navy SEALS assigned to protect it, Mark Daniel Kennedy, 43, and Jeffrey Keith Reynolds, 44, were found dead under "suspicious circumstances."
