Vanishing Aircraft

We have been told by much of Western MSM that Air Algerie flight 5017 (hereinafter AH
5017) and its 117 passengers (according to the airline) lost contact with the ground and
subsequently crashed in Mali on 7/24due to heavy weather.

A simple, tidy story that; and for all one knows the MSM soporific might even be true.

And yet, true to the times, meaningful questions remain.

Via CNN on 7/24 we have:

“1:17 a.m. local time, Air Algerie Flight 5017 left Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso bound for
Algiers. It was supposed to be a four-hour overnight flight but about 50 minutes of
takeoff, it disappeared from radar over Mali close to a zone of ongoing conflict between
Islamist rebels and the government.”

The Guardian chimed in on 7/29 with:

Radar recordings show the plane’s last contact at 1.47am local time. A witness reported
seeing a ball of flame in the crash area at about 1.50am, suggesting the tragedy happened
in minutes.

One witness said it was “as if a bomb had fallen” on the desert, and that the plane had
hit the ground at a steep angle and at full speed, ruling out any attempt at an emergency
landing.

Police investigators and gendarmes at the scene say the plane was “pulverised” and they
have found no bodies. Even finding traces of the victims – who included one Briton and 54
French people, including entire families – is proving a challenge, with stifling heat
alternating with torrential rain in a remote area.

The Guardian’s reportage that the plane was pulverized echoed Le Monde’s7/26 assertion
that the wreckage was indicative of disintegration.

Matters are so compromised with respect to the status of bodily evidence that France now
thinks it could take from three to five months for forensic processes to produce the first
identifications.

And then we have the facts that it took hours for airline and government officials to make
AH 5017’s disappearance public, there were 51 French passengers, and France, declaring
victory, had very recently terminated Operation Serval (a counterterrorism adventure in
Mali).

Finally, we have the pending performance on a France/Russia deal whereby Russia is to
receive delivery of two Mistral warships.  Maybe certain elitist elements would rather see
France breach the contract?

Might the demise of AH 5017 be attributable to an act of terror, and might there be
additional links to the vanishing aircraft of MH 17, MH 370, and veryconceivably even Air
France 447?  Newsweek on AH 5017:

“General Gilbert Diendere, head of Burkina Faso’s crisis cell, said radar data showed that
the plane appeared to try to fly around the bad weather before reverting to its initial
course, which took it back into the eye of the storm.

“Perhaps the pilot thought that he had completely avoided it and wanted to return to the
original route,” Diendere said, according to the website of French radio RFI. “The
accident took place while the plane performed this maneuver.”

Diendere said the last contact with the plane at its altitude of 10,000 meters was at 0147
GMT and the crash was reported by witnesses to have taken place at 0150.

“That means that (plane) fell from an altitude of 10,000 meters to zero in about three
minutes, which is a steep fall given the size of the plane,” he added.”

10,000 meters is just about 33,000 feet, so, if the preceding sentence is true, AH 5017
lost altitude at an average of 11,000 feet per minute before being ostensibly destroyed.

The same thing happened to Air France 447.

A quick refresher on that flight from the Huffington Post:

“On the evening of May 31, 2009 [it was in the early hours of 6/1/2009 that the flight
went missing], 216 passengers and 12 crew members boarded an Air France Airbus 330 at
Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The flight, Air
France 447, departed at 7.29 p.m. local time for a scheduled 11-hour trip to Paris. It
never arrived. At 7 o’clock the next morning, when the aircraft failed to appear on the
radar screens of air traffic controllers in Europe, Air France began to worry and
contacted civil aviation authorities. By 11 a.m., they concluded that AF447 had gone
missing somewhere over the vast emptiness of the South Atlantic.

How, in the age of satellite navigation and instantaneous global communication, could a
state-of-the art airliner simply vanish? It was a mystery that lasted for two years.”

Air France 447, like MH 370, MH 17, and AH 5017 also “vanished without a word from the
crew.” Perhaps, then, the official report regarding Air France 447, which explained the
affair in terms of heavy weather, a high altitude stall, and pilot error also happens to
more or less describe what occurred with AH 5017?

Then again, it was reported regarding Air France 447 that:

“Two pilots of an Air Comet flight from Lima to Lisbon saw a bright flash of light in the
area where Flight 447 went down, the Madrid-based airline told CNN. The pilots have turned
in their report to authorities.

“Suddenly, we saw in the distance a strong and intense flash of white light, which
followed a descending and vertical trajectory and which broke up in six seconds,” the
captain wrote in the report.

The flash of light contributes to the theory that an explosion is what brought down Flight
447, which was carrying 228 people from Rio de Janeiro to Paris.”

To be sure, these reports have gone down the memory hole.

Intrepid readers will have little difficulty locating other disturbing claims about Flight
447, but to be honest it’s difficult to decisively separate mere rumors from plausible
alternative accounts.

Be that as it may, what follows may amount to nothing more than a mirage of coincidences
(some of them possibly forced)—but it might also suggest something quite significant.

“Numerology”

An earlier contribution to Global Research on the subject of MH 17 stated:

Next, here are a few other curious tidbits.  The flight 17 crash shares an anniversary
with the demise of TWA 800, which AT’s own Jack Cashill has compellingly argued was, in
fact, brought down by a missile on July 17, 1996 and subsequently covered up by the US
government.  And, the maiden flight of flight 17 occurred in 1997 on the date of, you
guessed it, July 17.

[Moreover Russia's last ruling monarch of the Romanov family Tsar Nicholas II, together
with his wife Tsarina Alexandra and their five children Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia,
and Alexei were executed on 17 July 1918. Subliminal message to Putin? No doubt it's
another "coincidence"]

So “17s” are everywhere.  To be sure, though, each of the items in the last paragraph is
easily ranged under the heading “coincidence.”

With respect to AH 5017, we obviously encounter “17” again in the number of the flight.
And, we have the fact that the flight left at 1:17 AM.  Plus, some early reports indicated
117 passengers.

In a related vein, as previous quotes show, “7s” and “11s” seem to reverberate around
facts pertaining to Air France 447 and AH 5017.  And, MH 370 was lost on 3/7/2014 at 17:20
UTC.

Of course, many other numerical facts connected with the three flights have nothing to do
with 7s, 11s, or 17s.

It is unquestionably easy to get carried away with this sort of thing; one very serious
problem is that in the absence of a consistently applied, rationally based rule for
combining digits and assigning times, it is easy to mold phenomena so as to reach
conspiratorial conclusions when nothing obtains other than coincidence (and perhaps not
even that).

In short, we do not want to consume witches’ brews or magicians’ potions; instead, we
should ask whether there might be scientifically sensible reasons as to why intelligence
enterprises and their associates might want to play numerological games.

Rare events and events that are meaningfully singular in their description (such as the
vanishing of MH 370) are next to impossible to predict statistically, especially if one is
attempting to predict the precise time, date, and place of occurrence (almost by
definition there’s not enough data to support valid statistical analyses).  It is just
such “black swan” events, though, that often exert the greatest, and most reverberating,
impacts on global dynamics.  Because such events are difficult to predict even with a
great deal of information in hand, they are difficult to prevent—even with a tremendous
amount of information.

With these thoughts in mind, consider that when singular, rare events such as plane
vanishings that receive intensive coverage take place, the threshold geopolitical question
is really whether the occurrence was accidental or in some way planned.  It is here that
“numerological” factors may come into play.  It may be that the numerological properties
of events can function as ways of indicating human agency, even though such agency will,
of necessity, be invisible to algorithms and associated databases.  If human
consciousness, on the basis of ironically non-quantifiable meaning, considers an event to
be too significant to perfunctorily ascribe to an accident, it will react accordingly even
if the “data” and surface authorities (such as certain visible bureaucrats and news
anchors with far more proximate connections to the public) say otherwise.

If these ruminations are accurate, it may be that the degree of brazenness of
“numerological” ties functions as a measure of the danger we confront.  Surface authority,
in spite of its nearly universal mathematical illiteracy, has been successfully
conditioned to believe that the only measures of scientific significance are those that
can be quantified.  Therefore, it is blind to many potential indications of agency that
could indicate covert conflict.

However, had a flight numbered 7077 crashed on 7/7/2014 after having disappeared from
radar at 7:07 PM, even surface authorities might have been forced to acknowledge
design—even if they were told in so many terms by deep authority that “Big Data” could not
back it up.  Since even the dimwits of surface authority would be talking design, the risk
of overt hot war would rise substantially.  It is for reasons such as these that the
rather glaring 17s surrounding MH 17 are unsettling.

The Global Elite

Now consider these utterly bizarre remarks made by none other than IMF chief Christine
Lagarde at a 1/15/2014 National Press Club speech:

“Now, I’m going to test your numerology skills by asking you to think about the magic
seven, okay? Most of you will know that seven is quite a number in all sorts of themes,
religions. And I’m sure that you can compress numbers as well. So if we think about 2014,
all right, I’m just giving you 2014, you drop the zero, 14, two times 7. Okay,that’s just
by way of example, and we’re going to carry on. (Laughter) So 2014 will be a milestone and
hopefully a magic year in many respects. It will mark the hundredth anniversary of the
First World War back in 1914. It will note the 70thanniversary, drop the zero, seven– of
the Breton Woods conference that actually gave birth to the IMF. And it will be the 25th
anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, 25th, okay. It will also mark the seventh
anniversary of the financial market jitters that quickly turned into the greatest global
economic calamity since the Great Depression. The crisis still lingers. Yet, optimism is
in the air. We’ve left the deep freeze behind us and the horizon looks just a bit
brighter. So my hope and my wish for 2014 is that after those seven miserable years, weak
and fragile, we have seven strong years. I don’t know whether the G7 will have anything to
do with it, or whether it will be the G20. I certainly hope that the IMF will have
something to do with it.”

Can anyone recall the last time a global elitist of the stature of Lagarde made such
bombastic reference to numerological notions during a speech, whether “jokingly” or not?
That someone like her would even speak in such terms is decidedly odd—conceivably even
unprecedented—irrespective of the particulars.

Aside from the very audacity of even mentioning numerology, the key 1/15/2014 language may
very well be the G7/G20 wording; Lagarde states the alternative pretty starkly in terms of
either/or but not both—and the G20 does not include Russia.
