Missing MH370 Pilot Tshirt: 'Democracy is dead'

"An image has emerged of the pilot of the missing Malaysia Airlines jet wearing a T-shirt with a 'Democracy is Dead' slogan as it has been revealed he could have hijacked the plane in an anti-government protest."
Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, a father-of-three, was said to be a 'fanatical' supporter of the country's opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim - jailed for homosexuality just hours before the jet disappeared.

It has also been revealed that the pilot's wife and three children moved out of the family home the day before the plane went missing.

It comes as FBI investigators say the disappearance of MH370 may have been ‘an act of piracy’ and the possibility that hundreds of passengers are being held at an unknown location has not been ruled out.

Officials also revealed that it is possible the aircraft could have landed and transmitted a satellite signal from the ground. If the plane was intact and had enough electrical power in reserve, it would be able to send out a radar 'ping'. READ MORE

About the only thing missing from this story so far has been a homosexual angle. Now that we've got that we'll be sure to see balls to the wall coverage on certain professorial blogs.

For a for a long time now, Malaysia has been among the worst of the Islamic countries at being in denial as to how deeply the world's Muslim countries have been infected by Salafist ideologies.

The situation in Malaysia is made all the worse by the fact that it's the native, often lower-class, Malays that are Muslim, while the upper-crusty Chinese & Indians are not. Thus, the admission by the Malaysian government that a highly-trained professional Malay (i.e. an airline pilot) went bonkers & betrayed the trust placed in him will be used domestically by the ethnic Indians & Chinese to say "See, this is what happens when you dole out positions of responsibility to those crazy, fucked-up Malays! If that was a Chinese pilot, those people would be safely sitting on the tarmac in Beijing!"

They are going for maximum saturation.

I'm surprised it took this long to look into the pilots.

It's as if we cant digest the terrorist angle and the nut pilot narrative at the same time.

Everyone's ignoring the obvious. One of these pilots had an eye for non-Malaysian women. There's a photograph of him hosting a couple of perky Aussie lasses in the cockpit on a previous flight. Why was the plane diverted? Cherchez la femme. La femme different that is.

I have a sincere question on this. Why the fuck are we all focusing on this. What does OUR Government have to do about this lost plane. Why is Congress involved at all???? Don't they have anything BETTER to do. Not that no one should care about the people who were on the plane, but seriously this isn't an American governmental or national security concern of the American people.

There might have been a few Americans on the flight. Probably not as many as were at Bengazi, which Congress and the media don't seem to give much of a rat's ass about. Sweep that one under the carpet and focus like a laser on a Malaysian airplane.

It isn't one of OUR planes.

So....if they spend millions of dollars and find it. SO WHAT? What are WE supposed to do about it. Wring our hands and cry woe is me?

Why are we wasting so much time, energy and money on something that is not our business. If we want to take a lesson from this incident, fine. But it doesn't take Congress to get involved. They can fuck up a ham sandwich.

The more I hear about it on the news....ad nauseum, the more irritated I am that we aren't taking care of REAL business like the IRS Scandal squashing the right to speech, Bengazi, Gun Control. OBAMBACARE!!!!! the NSA peeking into our underwear drawers and the general overreaching Big Brotherness of our government.

SO????....some people got hijacked and it took the geniuses about a week to figure that out. DUH. Who didn't see that coming in the first place?

That seems to rule out the al-Qaeda connection doesn't it?

Surely the passengers can't be alive wherever they are, can they? (The insulin dependent diabetics on board are dead, for sure, if the others are alive.)

If nothing else DBQ, it is instructive in how something like this can be done (read "by terrorists").

But yeah ... do you really think the MSM finds covering the I-not-a-smidgen-R-corrupt-S, or Benghazi, or dead voters, or Unaffordable Care Act, or the More Flexible president's failure to engage in anything but golf and the NCAA brackets or fundrai$ers newsworthy?

As far as Congress, I not am turning blue waiting for Lois Lerner to get charged and thrown in the clink. Or having the Benghazi survivor testify. (I am not a lawyer and I can think of salient questions they did not ask.)

I am not holding my breath for anything but I will work against my D Senator's re-election this year and see what can be done to upright the listing ship.

But as for the Malaysian plane? No one would believe a story like this if it were sent out as a novella.

"Emirates flight EK232 (B777-300) from Washington to Dubai just diverted to Keflavik on Iceland. Reason unknown"

Got an RT on that Lem?

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

"The police are looking into four possibilities: hijack, sabotage and personal and psychological problems. And as the “deliberate” actions involved in disabling the plane’s communications, and then diverting it onto a new course, clearly required detailed knowledge of the Boeing 777 and no little skill, interest has inevitably focused on the pilot and co-pilot."

I RT it, no RT of my RT so far.

It just gets better. The theory that the plane was hijacked to be used later seems to still hold water.

Supposedly, its Rolls Royce engines can be tracked, but why no positive ID, if so?

1. 3 or 4 Americans on board.

2. If it's in Pockeeestahn (and that's a guess, supposedly), why?

3. If no ransom demand, why?

4. If no wreckage, why?

5. Could it be disguised for another 9/11?

There's a good chance that we will never find the plane, much less find out what happened on it. There's a Twilight Zone quality to this case. It seems facile to blame the pilot simply because of his oposition to Malaysia's ruler. Was D.B. Cooper booked on this flight?

Why the fuck are we all focusing on this.

Because it's a strange and horribly unusual situation that involves a number of lives potentially at stake (or that were at stake). Those sorts of things tend to arouse interest.

Even if there were something about U.S. flights that would make them immune to something like this, I think the interest originates from understanding that we don't know that it couldn't.

Until the flight's whereabouts are known, (and especially) in the age of terrorism, a completely missing flight, especially one this big, is a huge human interest story. Or else there would have been TV shows about the IRS that were as popular as X-Files.

It's interesting that Russia is the only country that seems uninterested about where the missing airliner now is.
