Political activists - who also worked at Cairo Airport - reportedly wrote on the underside of the jet "we will bring this plane down," in Arabic. Others also wrote "murderer" and "traitor" in messages directed at Egypt's president [US-installed dictator] Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, which were a phonetic play between the last two letters in the plane's registration SU-GCC and the leader's surname. Three EgyptAir security officials revealed the information in separate interviews with the New York Times.

The four man terror team visited the airport at 6:20pm on 13 November. An hour later they left the airport and went on to murder 130 people on the streets of Paris...'It is feared the jihads were coordinating with comrades at the airport.

There were smoke alerts near the airliner cockpit early Thursday in the minutes before it crashed, according to flight data CNN obtained Friday from an Egyptian source. The data came through the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS), a data link for sending messages between planes and ground facilities. A screen grab of data has time stamps that match the approximate time the aircraft went missing.

EgyptAir disappearance 'points to bomb', says terrorism expert | 19 May 2016 | The EgyptAir flight disappearance could be the result of a bomb, according to one of Australia's most prominent counter terrorism researchers. Deakin University professor Greg Barton said while it is possible MS804 vanished on the way from Paris to Cairo because of a conventional systems failure, "if you have an aircraft experience an explosive decompression at cruise altitude, that points to it being a bomb"..."If the radar image is suddenly not there and there's a sudden deceleration, as with the Sharm el-Sheik flight, it does strongly suggest a bomb."

 

LAX Increasing Security Measures in Wake of Terrorism Concerns Over EgyptAir Crash | 19 May 2016 | Officials at the Los Angeles International Airport have increased security measures in the wake of the crash of an Egyptian jetliner flight from Paris to Cairo from possible terrorism.

Burning nuclear reactor fuel could have worsened the Fukushima disaster | 20 May 2016 | Japan's chief cabinet secretary called it "the devil's scenario." Two weeks after the 11 March 2011 earthquake and tsunami devastated the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, causing three nuclear reactors to melt down and release radioactive plumes, officials were bracing for even worse. They feared that spent fuel stored in the reactor halls would catch fire and send radioactive smoke across a much wider swath of eastern Japan, including Tokyo. Thanks to a lucky break detailed in a report released today by the U.S. National Academies, Japan dodged that bullet...A major spent fuel fire at a U.S. nuclear plant "could dwarf the horrific consequences of the Fukushima accident," says Edwin Lyman, a physicist at the Union of Concerned Scientists, a nonprofit in Washington, D.C., who was not on the panel.

Clintons took payments from Trans-Pacific Partnership backers last year | 18 May 2016 | Former President Bill Clinton raked in millions of dollars from special interest groups in the weeks just before and after his wife announced her presidential campaign, including $325,000 from a group that pushed for the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Hillary Clinton came out against the trade deal in October under pressure from her rival, Bernie Sanders, and his progressive supporters. Sanders denounced the agreement early in his campaign, arguing the deal benefits major corporations at the expense of American jobs. But the National Association of Manufacturers, which paid Bill Clinton a hefty fee just one month before Hillary Clinton launched her candidacy in April, lobbied for the Trans-Pacific Partnership, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

 

New poll shows Trump beating Clinton in general election | 22 May 2016 | Donald Trump's presidential campaign has been given a boost by a new poll showing the presumptive Republican nominee winning November's general election against likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

NRA Endorses Donald Trump at National Convention | 20 May 2016 | The National Rifle Association endorsed Donald Trump at its national convention here on Friday, a late show of support from the nation's biggest pro-gun-rights group for the presumptive GOP nominee.

Uh-Oh: Trump to Meet With Kissinger for Foreign Policy Advice | 17 May 2016 | The Washington Post reports that presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump is to meet with Bilderberg kingpin [and war criminal] Henry Kissinger this week in order to tap his 'expertise' on foreign policy. Sources close to Trump told reporters that the two will discuss all aspects of foreign policy, but will particularly focus on China...The report also notes that Trump has been meeting with James A. Baker III, another former Republican secretary of state, and consummate insider, [and 2000 Bush coup d'etat architect,] under the Bushes. Baker was vocal in his criticism of Trump's foreign policy proposals, particularly his call to abolish NATO. Are these elitist insiders attempting to co-opt Trump's campaign and exert their globalist ideals upon his outlook?
