On 6 December 2017, US President Donald Trump said that he would recognise the status of Jerusalem as being Israel’s sovereign capital[4] in a departure from previous UNGA resolutions as well prevailing international norms where no state either recognises Jerusalem as a national capital nor has an embassy there. The move prompted protests from states and communities in many parts of the world.[5]
Following the failure of an United Nations Security Council resolution three days earlier, after an U.S. veto, to rescind the recognition by any states of Jerusalem as a national capital, Palestinian UN Ambassador Riyad Mansour said that the General Assembly would vote on a draft resolution calling for Trump’s declaration to be withdrawn. He sought to invoke Resolution 377, known as the “Uniting for Peace” resolution, to circumvent a veto. The resolution states that the General Assembly can call an Emergency Special Session to consider a matter “with a view to making appropriate recommendations to members for collective measures” if the Security Council fails to act.[6]
On 20 December, US President Donald Trump threatened to cut US aid to countries voting against the US’ side.[7] The day before the vote, he said: “Let them vote against us…We don’t care…this isn’t like it used to be where they could vote against you and then you pay them hundreds of millions of dollars. We’re not going to be taken advantage of any longer.”[8]Ambassador Nikki Haley warned her country would remember and “take names” of every country that voted in favour of the resolution.[9][10][11][12] The governments of Turkey and Iran denounced USA’s threats as “anti-democratic” and “blackmail“.[13][14] She had sent to a letter to dozens of member states that warned Trump had asked her to “report back on those countries who voted against us.”[15] Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan warned Trump that “he cannot buy Turkey’s democratic will with petty dollars” and “that opposition of other countries will teach the United States a good lesson”.[16][17]
Canada’s, which was seeking re-negotiations of the NAFTA, Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland‘s spokesman confirmed its intention to abstain from the vote and that the resolution should not have come to the General Assembly.[19]
The text of the resolution includes the following key statements:[20]
The General Assembly,
Bearing in mind the specific status of the Holy City of Jerusalem and, in particular, the need for the protection and preservation of the unique spiritual, religious and cultural dimensions of the City, as foreseen in the relevant United Nations resolutions,
Stressing that Jerusalem is a final status issue to be resolved through negotiations in line with relevant United Nations resolutions,
Expressing in this regard its deep regret at recent decisions concerning the status of Jerusalem,
Affirms that any decisions and actions which purport to have altered, the character, status or demographic composition of the Holy City of Jerusalem have no legal effect, are null and void and must be rescinded in compliance with relevant resolutions of the Security Council, and in this regard, calls upon all States to refrain from the establishment of diplomatic missions in the Holy City of Jerusalem, pursuant to resolution 478 (1980) of the Security Council;
Demands that all States comply with Security Council resolutions regarding the Holy City of Jerusalem, and not to recognize any actions or measures contrary to those resolutions;
Reiterates its call for the reversal of the negative trends on the ground that are imperiling the two-State solution and for the intensification and acceleration of international and regional efforts and support aimed at achieving, without delay, a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East on the basis of the relevant United Nations resolutions, the Madrid terms of reference, including the principle of land for peace, the Arab Peace Initiative and the Quartet Roadmap and an end to the Israeli occupation that began in 1967.
It concluded in reading that “any decisions and actions, which purport to have altered the character, status or demographic composition of the Holy City of Jerusalem have no legal effect, are null and void and must be rescinded in compliance with relevant resolutions of the Security Council.”[21]
In introducing the resolution as Chair of the Arab Group, Yemen’s Amabassador said the US decision was a “blatant violation of the rights of the Palestinian people, as well as those of all Christians and Muslims.” He emphasized that it constituted a “dangerous breach of the Charter of the United Nations and a serious threat to international peace and security, while also undermining the chances for a two‑State solution and fuelling the fires of violence and extremism.”[23]
Turkey, who was the co-sponsor of the draft resolution, also spoke as current Chair of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation(OIC).[23] Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said that Trump’s decision was an outrageous assault to all universal values. “The Palestinians have the right to their own state based on 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital. This is the main parameter and only hope for a just and lasting peace in the region. However, the recent decision of a UN Member State to recognise Jerusalem, or Al-Quds, as the capital of Israel, violates international law, including all relevant UN resolutions.”[22]
The General Assembly heard from Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad Al‑Malki, who said that the meeting was “not because of any animosity to the United States of America” but instead the sessions was “called to make the voice of the vast majority of the international community — and that of people around the world — heard on the question of Jerusalem/Al‑Quds Al‑Sharif.” He called the US decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and to move its embassy there “an aggressive and dangerous move” which could inflame tensions and lead to a religious war that “has no boundaries.” He added that though the decision would have no impact on the city’s status, it would nevertheless compromise the role of the United States in the Middle East peace process.[23] He urged member states to reject “blackmail and intimidation.”[5]
US Ambassador Nikki Haley then said that her country was “singled out for attack” because of its recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. She added that: “The United States will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the General Assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation,” Haley said. We will remember it when we are called upon to once again make the world’s largest contribution to the United Nations, and so many countries come calling on us, as they so often do, to pay even more and to use our influence for their benefit.”[15] She added that: “America will put our embassy in Jerusalem. That is what the American people want us to do, and it is the right thing to do. No vote in the United Nations will make any difference on that…this vote will make a difference in how Americans view the UN.”[22]
Israel’s Ambassador Danny Danon then told the assembly that the vowed that “no General Assembly resolution will ever drive us from Jerusalem.”[4]
Venezuela’s Ambassador, speaking for the Non‑Aligned Movement (NAM), expressed “grave concern about Israel’s ongoing violations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including attempts to alter the character, status and demographic composition of the City of Jerusalem. [It was] slso concerned about the decision to relocate the United States embassy [and] warned that such provocative actions would further heighten tensions, with potentially far‑reaching repercussions given the extremely volatile backdrop.[23]
Other speakers included, Pakistan, Indonesia, Maldives, Syria, Bangladesh, Cuba, Iran and China.[23]
Malaysia’s Ambassador Datuk Seri Mohammed Shahrul Ikram Yaakob said that, as a member of the OIC and NAM, “Malaysia joins the international community in expressing our deep concern and rejects the decision by the United States to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. It is also an infringement of the Palestinian people’s rights and their right to self determination.” He called for a peaceful two-state solution and that Malaysia is concerned the situation will only feed into the agenda of extremists.”[2]
Other speakers included, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and South Africa. The Permanent Observer for the Holy See, Tomasz Grysa, emphasised that Jerusalem was most sacred to the Abrahamic faiths and a symbol for millions of believers around the world who considered it their “spiritual capital.” Its significance went “beyond the question of borders, a reality that should be considered a priority in every negotiation for a political solution.” The Holy See, he said, called for a “peaceful resolution that would ensure respect for the sacred nature of Jerusalem and its universal value…reiterating that only international guarantee could preserve its unique character and status and provide assurance of dialogue and reconciliation for peace in the region.”[23]
After the motion was passed, more speeches continued with Estonia, who also spoke on behalf of other states. Australia’s Ambassador then explained her country’s government did “not support unilateral action that undermined the peace process [and] it did not believe today’s text would help to bring the parties back to the negotiating table.”[23]
Other speakers included, Paraguay, whose Ambassador said that the country would abstain because “the question of Jerusalem was a matter for the Security Council, as the primary body responsible for the maintenance of international peace and security.”[23] This was followed by El Salvador, Argentina and Romania.[23]
Canada’s Ambassador Marc-Andre Blanchard called the proposal “one-sided”[23] and said: “We are disappointed that this resolution is one sided and does not advance prospects for peace to which we aspire, which is why we have abstained on today’s vote.” He, however, added that Canada wanted to emphasise Jerusalem’s special significance to the Abrahamic religions of Jews, Muslims and Christians. “Denying the connection between Jerusalem and the Jewish, Muslim and Christian faiths undermines the integrity of the site for all. We also reiterate the need to maintain the status quo at Jerusalem’s Holy sites.[19]
Nicaragua’s explained its support of the resolution, as it “rebuffed recent unilateral attempts to modify the character and status of Jerusalem. Such unilateral actions were in blatant violation of resolution 2234 (2016) and others…unilateral actions jeopardised peace and stability in the Middle East and drew the international community further away from a solution.”[23]
Mexico’s Ambassador then explained the abstention and emphasised that convening an emergency session was a disproportionate response. “The United States must become part of the solution, not a stumbling block that would hamper progress…the international community was further than ever from agreement.”[23]
The Czech Republic then said that while it supported the European Union position, it had abstained because it “did not believe the draft resolution would contribute to the peace process.”[23]
Armenia said that is position “remained unchanged. The situation should be resolved through negotiations paving the way for lasting peace and security.”[23]
Latvia then spoke, before Estonia re-took the floor to say it had also spoken on behalf of Albania, Lithuania and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.[23]

– Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the result shortly after it was announced in call it “preposterous,” while he also thanked the states that supported “the truth” by not participating in “the theatre of the absurd.” He added that: “Jerusalem is our capital. Always was, always will be…But I do appreciate the fact that a growing number of countries refused to participate in this theatre of the absurd. So I appreciate that, and especially I want to again express our thanks to [US] President (Donald) Trump and Ambassador [Nikki] Haley, for their stalwart defence of Israel and their stalwart defence of the truth.” Defence Minister Avigdor Liberman, reminded Israelis of the longstanding Israeli disdain for such votes. “Let us just remember that this is the same UN about which our first ambassador to the organisation, Abba Eban, once said: ‘If Algeria introduced a resolution declaring that the earth was flat and that Israel had flattened it, it would pass by a vote of 164 to 13 with 26 abstentions’. There is nothing new in what just happened at the UN.” He also praised the US as “the moral beacon shining out of the darkness.” Minister of Strategic Affairs and Public Security Gilad Erdan said: “The historic connection between Israel and Jerusalem is stronger than any vote by the ‘United Nations’ — nations who are united only by their fear and their refusal to recognise the simple truth that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and the Jewish people.”
However, opposition Joint List Chairman and MK Ayman Odeh called the vote a wake-up call for Israel: “In the international arena, there still exists a large and definitive majority that believes that the Palestinian people, like all other nations, deserve a place in this world and the right to self-determination. This evening’s vote by the majority of the world’s nations against Trump’s announcement, in spite of the pressure and threats, flies in the face of Trump’s and Netanyahu’s diplomatic policy and is a clear statement by the international community in support of peace and the right of the Palestinians to an independent state, whose capital is East Jerusalem,”[8]
Media
Haaretz‘s Noa Landau, wrote, in citing unnamed diplomatic sourced, that Israel was particularly disappointed with countries like India that have enhanced bilateral relations with it recently. “The main disappointment in Israel was with the countries that have enhanced bilateral relations in recent years, especially those that share a particularly conservative worldview with the Netanyahu government. For example, India – whose Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, visited Israel in July, a tour that was memorable mainly for the pastoral photographs of him and Netanyahu embracing and wading in the waves – voted for the resolution against Israel and the United States.”[8]
Others
At a “Solidarity to Save Jerusalem” rally organised by the Barisan National government in Malaysia, one of the attendees Association of NextGen Christians of Malaysia President Joshua Hong said at the Putra Mosque: “We are here because we feel that the decision made by President Trump on announcing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is merely a political decision. He added that the decision also hurts Christian and Arabic churches in Palestine and not just the Muslims. “To us as Christians, Jerusalem is a city of peace and after that announcement, we feel there is no more peace.I think it is not right and unjust. We believe we should continue pursuing the sustainable peace solution for Palestine and Israel, rather than just a single nation declaring it just like that.” He claimed that about 50 members of the group turned up in a show of support for the Palestinian people..[2]

February 15 – A meteor explodes over the Russian city of Chelyabinsk, injuring 1,491 people and damaging over 4,300 buildings. It is the most powerful meteor to strike Earth’s atmosphere in over a century.[9] The incident, along with a coincidental flyby of a larger asteroid, prompts international concern regarding the vulnerability of the planet to meteor strikes.[10][11]
February 21 – American scientists use a 3D printer to create a living lab-grown ear from collagen and animal ear cell cultures. In the future, it is hoped, similar ears could be grown to order as transplants for human patients suffering from ear trauma or amputation.[12]
October 10 – Delegates from some 140 countries and territories sign the Minamata Treaty, a UNEP treaty designed to protect human health and the environment from emissions and releases of mercury and mercury compounds.[41]
Note: Due to this plane being missing for an extended period of time and all of the conjecture that has surrounded what known facts, I have posted an article on my website that will fully explain this quatrain, according to the systems of analysis that make Nostradamus understandable. That will keep me from adding to this post, making it difficult to follow. I have fully explained the first line of quatrain V-23, and the wording reveals how the missing plane can be only one element of a greater scheme. You may find that article here (line 1) and here (line 2) and here (line 3) andhere (line 4). All lines are explained in depth, based on systemic methods that must be applied to every quatrain. The missing flight MH370 proves to be supported in the verbiage of quatrain V-23, but that event is a foreshadowing of greater events to come. If it doesprove to have crashed in the south Indian Ocean, I doubt this quatrain will be primarily focused on that flight, although it could still play a role in understanding the main intent. If quatrain V-23 is strongly about the missing Malaysian flight, the airplane will be found mostly intact, at this late date that would mean on land, with the continent of Africa being the location. All that remains to be seen, but the quatrain is about greater issues that have been raised since the missing flight came to the forefront of our consciousness.
I have done a quick search of my database of The Prophecies, using the simple search term “terrorist,” and I found a quatrain that can be a good match for the missing Malaysian Boeing 777, Flight MH370. The quatrain is listed as V-23. The Old French states:
Les deux contens seront unis ensemble, Quant la pluspart à Mars seront conjonict: Le grand d’Affrique en effraieur & tremble: Duumvirat par la classe desjoinct.
A literal translation can state:
Them two contained ones will be joined together ones one with another, When there majority in March being coupled with: Him great African into terrorist & trembling: Two-man court by reason of there fleet parted.
I believe this quatrain tells the whole story, with the current news only the tip of the meaning that will unfold. I believe the main theme statement (line one) indicates two people working in concert, such that each took on a chemical of some kind on board, perhaps in a travel bag or carry-on. Each would be inert alone, but when combined the two agents will create something, possibly a gas that (minimally) put the pilots in an unconscious state, one that prevented them from making an emergency call, or killed the pilots (if not all on board). This combination did not create any explosion, as line two indicates the possibility that the plane will be found mostly intact. Line three confirms it was an act of terror, thus not a natural occurrence or accident; and line four states a “fleet” is involved in some way, which can be air and/or naval.
Look at what is written like this:
Two united together : Les deux … ensemble – (Two passengers boarding with stolen passports getting on the same plane together, each with equal roles)
Two contained ones equal ones jointly : Les deux contens … unis ensemble – (Two passengers each with a carry-on chemical that becomes dangerous once the two are joined as one compound)
When in March : Quant … à Mars – (Disappearance on March 8, 2014 – Asian date)
In regard of War : Quant … Mars – (When at a time of War [The War on Terror])
As touching there majority in : Quant la pluspart à – (Affecting most in an enclosed environment)
The majority in March: … la pluspart à Mars – (The event has now taken up 22 days in the month of March.)
Then there most part with will be conjoined : Quant la pluspart à … seront conjoinct – (Then there [when found] for the most part the airplane will be intact)
Then the majority with Mars will be combined: Quand la pluspart à Mars seront conjoinct – (On March 31, 2014, the majority of the signs will be represented by at least one celestial orb, such that the Sun will be in Aries, the Moon will enter into Taurus, Mercury will be in Pisces, Venus will be in Aquarius, Mars will be in Libra, Jupiter will be in Cancer, and Saturn will be in Scorpio. However, Mars and Saturn, the lesser and greater malefic, will be in the signs ruled by Mars, with both retrograde.)
In as much as there more part at Mars being coupled with : Quant la pluspart à Mars seront conjoinct – (Southeast Asia plus Vietnam and China (Mars – red color flag) will be coupled with terrorism)
Him great African : Le grand d’Affrique – (Him, as one of two, is Westerner [the great = USA, UK, or EU], while Him, the other of two, is African or Black-Dark skin)
Him great from Africa : Le grand d’Affrique – (Him leading America is African [in color and/or birth father and/or birth], such as Barack Obama – this supports “When” scenario. It may also be interesting to see how line three supports a main theme of a disappearing airplane in the sense that Barack Obama is the first President of the United States to have been a nationalized citizen of Indonesia, entered into the public school system in Jakarta. This links his African father’s heritage to his Indonesian step-father’s heritage, with the “two conjoined” being Muslim. This would make an Indonesian-African direction worth looking into.)
Him great of Africa into terrorism : Le grand d’Affrique en effrayeur – (The great leader of the West is into an issue of terrorism in Africa [Benghazi, Libya])
Earthquake zone : & tremble – (Malaysia is just north of Sumatra, where two major earthquakes have cause tsunamis in the Indian Ocean, but not the Gulf of Thailand or the South China Sea)
Update (March 21, 2014): A 6.7 magnitude earthquake occurred near the Nicobar Islands of India, according to news reports. The Nicobar Islands are largely un-populated, but they are close to peninsula that joins Thailand with Malaysia, and north of the western tip of Indonesia. This fits the use of “tremble” in line 3, where an accent mark makes it the past participle of “trembler,” as “tremblé,” meaning “shook, trembled, quaked, and shivered.” It is important to realize the order of the words, such that “to Africa” (“d’Affrique“) will occur before the “tremble.” No tsunami is predicted from this quake, but a 6.7 earthquake is significant.
Update (April 1, 2014): An 8.2 magnitude earthquake occurred off the northern Pacific coast of Chili, causing a tsunami and considerable damage to homes and power, according to news reports. This is in addition to lesser scale earthquakes in the Los Angeles, California area, the last week in March.
ommission of two for here order divided : Duumvirat par la classe desjoinct – (Both Malaysia and China will investigate the crash, as most of the deaths were Chinese citizens and the aircraft Malaysian)
Special criminal court by reason of there fleet lacking coherence : Duumvirat par la classe desjoinct – (Evidence of terrorism leads to a UN involvement where special ships coordinate search and recovery)
There are more ways to read this quatrain, and depending on the findings about the disappearance of flight MH370, this quatrain may or may not stem from that event. However, at this early stage it does fit the main theme (line 1) well, with a possible scenario that would have subsequent events also match well. We will have to wait and see what those findings are and if terrorism is indeed the cause.
I welcome everyone to visit my website that explains many other quatrains of Nostradamus in articles of depth. You may be able to see how this scenario fits into a theme that everyone should be aware of. Thanks. Keep in mind that we can manage our future, making it possible to avert some bad things coming, but the past is fixed as the lessons that have created the present, and the present is unfolding towards the future.
Note: Let me interject now and say that Nostradamus did not randomly write about world events. If quatrain V-23 is indeed about the missing jetliner, it is one piece of a mosaic, as part of a larger picture. This means this quatrain will link to others, which tell of events past and future, about an act of “terrorism” in a “War” where that is standard procedure. Key terms that repeat link quatrains together. In this quatrain, “deux, contens, d’Affrique, effrayeur, and classe disjoinct” may be found in other quatrains that will be found to add more details that are missing here. Again, this news story is just in the beginning stage, so it has not yet unfolded as documented history. I just wanted to add that one quatrain does not the whole story tell.
Update: I have searched the key terms listed and come up with some interesting quatrains that combine Asia with Africa. I will not go into these quatrains in this posting, but if you know how to do an Internet search, see what you think about quatrains V-11 and IV-68. Make a comment if you feel so moved.
Note: Due to the reported change of direction the flight made, taking it back over Thailand-Malaysia, last spotted in the Malacca Straight, if that westward flight remained along the 2S degree of latitude, it would head to Mogadishu, Somalia, in Africa. That would be approximately a 4,000-mile flight, which should be within the capabilities of a Boeing 777 (Wikipedia lists the range between 5,200 and 9,300 miles).
This is a broader view of how line 3 supports the event begun in line 1 – “to Africa” (d’Afrique”).
Update again: This report adds to the possibility of westward flight, saying pings coming from the plane’s engines were detected 4-5 hours after it went missing.Yet another update: This afternoon I was watching CNN and they showed a graphic that had two circles that represented two “pings” from the Boeing 777 that was MH370. I have reproduced those in the map below. Here is a similar report. The purple circle was supposedly the ping received by a satellite, when the plane was on course to Beijing. Then the second circle, which I have in red, is where a ping was received 7 hours later. They went all into how the intersection of the two circles shows how it went either north (green line) or south (light green line), with the north route taking the plane to Pakistan and the south route taking the plane into the Indian Ocean – going nowhere. I have indicated those direction by the green lines. From what I understand, the second ping means the plane had to be at some point on the red circle, which the “Horn” of Africa is, in Somalia (but not Mogadishu). I have indicated that flight patter in b;ue. My questions are: A.Why would anyone expect a plane to go through Indian and Chinese airspace without it being forced down?; B. Why hasn’t any passenger on the flight tried to send some form of phone text or data, when it is unreasonable to thing all 239 people on board are going along with a hijacking?; and C. Why would Africa not be even considered, or even the Maldives? If anyone can answer why it is logical for the plane to try to get to Pakistan, and not Somalia, based on the ping information, please post that answer. Thanks. (The map was obtained from the Internet, as one depicting Africa and Asia. From KC-Johnson.com)
Update (March 17, 2014): After CNN seemed to not be able to show the double-circle graphic on Sunday (March 16, 2014), that completely disappeared on Monday. The “search area is set at a 2,500-mile radius from the point of the plane making its sudden turn around. There has been absolutely zero suggestion that Africa could be a place for a big jetliner to go, while they talk incessantly about it flying over Indian and Chinese airspace, “in pockets that could go undetected.” The distance a Boeing 777 can fly (according to the Wikipedia article) is “5,235 to 9,380 nautical miles (9,695 to 17,372 km),” I would imagine depending on the weight being transported and whether or not it was flying against prevailing winds. However, an Internet search of the distance between Shah Alam, Malaysia and Mogadishu, Somalia found it was 3,883 nautical miles (6249 km), which is well within the limits of a 777. The distance between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing is 2,287 miles (3,680 km), with it 3,070 miles to Tajikistan, which means that is certainly a shorter distance than the Horn of Africa. Keep in mind the 200 miles the plane flew to the Gulf of Thailand and then back to the Malacca Strait adds to the use of fuel, without adding to calculated distance of a destination. Still, Africa would seem to be a “no-brainer” option for a plane flying west, at last radar contact. The Malaysians have reportedly said the plane was filled with a “normal amount of fuel, enough to get it to Beijing,” but no airplane is ever filled with “just enough fuel” to get it to it’s destination. There is always more than enough because a plane may have to divert to another airport or circle if the airport it is headed to has congestion on the runways or weather delays. A plane costs many millions of dollars to purchase, so sparing a few bucks on fuel would not make it worth having the plane crash, and then have someone announce the crash was because it “ran out of gas.” However, there is an optimum weight the plane can fly (as far as “MPG”), which includes the weight of fuel, so planes may not be full for medium distance flights. I would think a 3,000-mile flight would require an almost full “tank” (planes have wing tanks and a belly tank), since the distance of all the hijacked planes on 911 were to destinations around 3,000 miles, and much was made of their tanks being full. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama has his mind on the developments in Ukraine and Crimea (and also the continuing failures of his Affordable Care Act), such that has nothing publicly to say about what U.S.Intelligence could offer about a possible theft of an airplane, one that could be used as an instrument to attack Israel. The Israelis are willing to make announcements, but not American government officials. The American propaganda mechanism (Hollywood) makes us think U.S. science and technology knows everything that could be known and what everyone is doing at all times. We see movies and television shows where planes are hijacked, but not to worry because some American-British-born actor will single-handedly kill all the terrorists and save the day, even if a few innocent “extras” get killed in the process. The silence of American Intelligence about Crimea, and now a missing plane, shows America has the “pockets that go undetected” problem, not India and China, … or everyone in power knows a lot more than they are letting us know.
Intersecting pings are said to mean the plane was at some place on each circle when a ping was received – not in between.
Notice the outer circle. It touches the tip of the Arabian peninsula and cut in the middle of the Maldives, where it shows the satellite’s position.
New Update (March 18, 2014): According to this report, the plane was spotted (or one that looked just like it, at the same time that one was missing) flying low over the Maldives. The Maldives are islands southwest of India, in the Indian Ocean. That means it was avoiding radar and headed towards Africa. Look at the map above, which shows a destination of Mogadishu (not to the Horn of Africa) and you see the line drawn goes through the Maldives. Hopefully this information will be examined further.
Update (March 21, 2014): In regard to the reported siting(s) in the Maldives, this is what I heard on cable news on March 19, 2014, when all discussion went to the south Indian Ocean as a possible crash site. I heard someone ask, “What about the sighting in the Maldives?” Someone off-screen said, “Oh, that was discredited.” Then, a woman host began reading notes, while saying, “The Prime Minister of Malaysia called the Prime Minister of the Maldives and inquired about the sightings and was told, ‘There is no truth to the sighting.’” Oh. Okay. No multi-million dollar Navy ships and special airplanes to check out that rumor? I think Time Magazine should do a new yearly edition called, “Liars of the Year” and either put the Malaysian Prime Minister’s or the Maldivian hut-dwellers on the cover. The only sighting is poo-pooed and the sleight of hand news keeps pointing to places that only an uncontrolled jet would go. That is with all evidence showing a purposeful redirection and altitude changes. Maybe the hijackers had a heart attack after locking the cockpit door and turned the jet around, then just flew off course until it ran out of fuel … or maybe it landed in Africa or Iran and everyone got out and walked away? Read my in-depth analysis of the words in quatrain V-23 on my website Katrina Pearls. Under “Services” (on the top toolbar), choose “Nostradamus,” then click on “Articles,” then scroll down to the last link and click on “Quatrain V-23 as Pertaining to the Missing Malaysian Flight MH370.” Or click here.
Update (March 22, 2014): Yesterday, as part of the incessant talking heads “news” about the whereabouts of flight MH370, I saw Sean Hannity interview a retired U.S. military general and some Australian-sounding “expert,” who mentioned these two tidbits of thought: 1) The land radar of countries only extends 200 miles into the sea, at which point anything flying would not be seen flying over the Indian Ocean; and 2) It would be possible for the Boeing 777 to fly to Pakistan undetected, by flying down the center of the Arabian Sea, although Pakistani radar would have picked up that flight, meaning it would have to be complicit with the hijacking. It was refreshing to hear something other than the misdirection news of crap spotted by satellite, floating in the “wasteland” of the South Indian Ocean. Here is a possibility, as I see it: The jetliner flew over the Maldives on its way to Somalia, either without needing more fuel, or by stopping at the Maldivian airport on Male. The plane, with a knowledgeable pilot who trained himself to avoid radar in Sri Lanka and land on Male, could have landed there and refueled. If we are getting into the complicit aspect of things, the Maldives is 98.4% Muslim, and after taking off there, it very well could have been seen flying low over some of the other islands. It was reported to have been seen at 6:15 AM, on March 8. The plane was missing at 1:30 AM, meaning it took 4.5 hours to reach those islands. Here is some flight time information:
The flight time from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Malé, Maldives is: 4 hours, 24 minutes
Distance from Malé, Maldives to Mogadishu, Somalia is: 4 hours, 1 minutes
Update (March 24, 2014): The Malaysian government has announced that flight MH370 crashed in the south Indian Ocean and everyone on-board has died. Makes me remember how Osama bin Laden is still missing at sea and presumed murdered by Navy SEALS. Seems we accept government officials announcing deaths, without question. Until a wing or something that can be specifically identified with that specific Boeing 777 (and not some part that could be taken off a plane without keeping it from flying, and then tossed in some sea), this whole event become more important and not over, in my mind. Until they “Show me the proof,” it should make all defense mechanisms in Western nations go up. The reasons are many: 1.) Why did Malaysia say nothing in the beginning, about radar tracking in the Strait of Malacca, when every ship on the South China Sea was searching for three days because of some Chinese satellite spotting “possible debris”? 2.) Why did Indonesia refuse to let search planes have the right to fly over its air space (March 18, 2014 article), to see if the plane possibly crashed on land there. They cited “international bureaucracy,” saying permission forms had to be filled out first. Ten days after a plane goes missing, why would they refuse to help look, unless some evidence might still be visible by air then? Did you know there are two airports on the Indonesian coast, not far from where the last radar was detected? The plane could have landed there and refueled, with a full load to go anywhere within 7,000 air nautical miles. Could there have been something left behind, still uncovered, that could have indicated a plane landed there? Why isn’t anyone asking that question? 3.) The ping at 8:11 AM (Malaysian time) proves the airplane was still flying 7.5 hours after take-off (12:41 AM) and nearly 6 hours after Malaysian military radar last spotted it (2:15 AM). I have since heard the 8:11 AM ping as not being so fixed at that specific time, but amended to state, “Not later than 9:15 AM” Why is that? 4.) If the plane was expected to make a secret landing, for the purpose of refueling, it would be a direct flight from Medan, Indonesia to Mogadishu, Somalia, of 3,685 air miles (here), with a flight time of 7 hours, 37 minutes. A descent to 12,000 feet may not have been for any other reason than it making a landing approach. The satellite ping at 8:11 AM indicated a CIRCLE (not two arcs) of potential positions, such that a full fuel load would make it possible for the plane to reach all points in that circle. That circle was shown as just off the Somalian coast, at its northern tip, where the Horn of Africa is. A point on that CIRCLE that would be in line with Mogadishu as the intended target destination would be about 500 miles away. Thus, from a 2:15 AM radar sighting, adding time for a 1-hour land and refueling, would mean roughly 5 hours of flight time when last detected, to reach a point 3,100 miles away, or flying at 620 mph. The cruising speed of a Boeing 777 is .84 Mach (at 35,000 ft), which is 639.4 MPH. The ping at 8:11 AM does not mean the plane was on the ground (or in the water). 5.) There were eyewitness accounts of a sighting over one or more of the Maldive islands, saying a large white plane with a red stripe was seen flying low over their houses at 6:15 AM. It is roughly 1,784 miles from Medan, Indonesia to the general area of the Maldives. Flying at 600 mph, the flight time would be roughly 3 hours. So, if a refueled plane took off from Medan at 3:15 AM, then that would put it over the Maldives around 6:15 AM. If the plane had not refueled in Indonesia, but did refuel in the Maldives, at Malé, then a take off at 6:15 AM would would automatically have it flying low overhead, because it had just taken off. 6.) If the plane were hijacked to be used in a future event, perhaps with a bomb on-board, it would be doubtful anyone would claim to know where it was, and it would be probable some nation(s) would be complicit, making refueling possible – in Indonesia (Medan) or Maldives (Malé). 7.) The two Iranians who boarded with stolen passports has been completely forgotten, as if that lax of security is commonplace. Their presence on that flight makes an act of terrorism more likely, and less likely that it was just bad luck they went to all that trouble to board a doomed flight, crashing in the south Indian Ocean.
Update (March 28, 2014): The news has reported that debris has been spotted by surveillance airplanes and buoys have been dropped to guide the ships to the debris. We can only hope and pray now that it will not be the U.S. Navy SEALS that find the debris, then have them tell us they checked the serial number and found them all to be exact matches to the missing Boeing 777, only to then dump the debris back into the Indian Ocean, leaving us to believe they would never lie. Consider the ocean currents and wind currents of the Indian Ocean, and all the noise that has been generated about some “zombie plane” flying south, until it ran out of fuel and crashed. Notice the wind current that naturally flows from the last point of radar contact to Somalia. Then notice the ocean currents that also flow towards Africa or towards Indonesia, but not south. The red line debris field is following the natural ocean current northward, but that branches off the Antarctic Circumpolar. But, “zombies” can do unnatural things, I guess. Or, maybe we will finally know where Amelia Earhart’s plane ended up?
Update (April 7, 2014): The Malaysian government updated their hypothesis of the flight path of MH370, saying it never crossed into Indonesian air space, with CNN reporting the Indonesians denied having radar tracking of the flight after it was lost over the Strait of Malacca. This is a near impossibility, as to fly around the tip of the Sumatra island would be the presence of an unidentified aircraft within their radar range. Indonesia has better air security than that, I would imagine. CNN pilots-experts confirmed that this air corridor (SE Asia) is highly active, at all hours of the day. To fly without communication would endanger other flights in the air, even at the early morning hour (2:15 AM). To go around the tip of Indonesia (Sumatra) and then turn south, to the forsaken wilderness of the south Indian Ocean, would mean a purposeful suicide-murder expedition, which makes no sense, as the passengers and flight crew represented innocent lives; and to take those lives would mean suffering great torment and punishment by Allah, to Muslim pilots. The discovery of a possible “needle in a haystack,” from pings heard by dragging a microphone behind a Chinese ship, and then an Australian navy ship hearing noise a hundred miles away that is “promising,” is miraculous, if not completely beyond belief. What is interesting to me is the theory presented soon after the plane went missing, of the possibility it could have flown north (over land), if it had shadowed another aircraft. Could that not be what happened when Malaysian military radar lost track of MH370? Could the altitude drop, to 12,000 feet make it disappear because a smaller aircraft, taking off from Medan, reached 12,000 feet near the same point, with the smaller aircraft turning north, with MH370 landing in Medan? Why isn’t more being said about the climb to 45,000 feet, and the subsequent descent to 12,000 feet? Where did that happen? How long was it at those altitudes? How do they know this? It would be a blessing to the families of the missing to have a conclusion to this matter, but a month into the investigation has us waiting.
– Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the result shortly after it was announced in call it “preposterous,” while he also thanked the states that supported “the truth” by not participating in “the theatre of the absurd.” He added that: “Jerusalem is our capital. Always was, always will be…But I do appreciate the fact that a growing number of countries refused to participate in this theatre of the absurd. So I appreciate that, and especially I want to again express our thanks to [US] President (Donald) Trump and Ambassador [Nikki] Haley, for their stalwart defence of Israel and their stalwart defence of the truth.” Defence Minister Avigdor Liberman, reminded Israelis of the longstanding Israeli disdain for such votes. “Let us just remember that this is the same UN about which our first ambassador to the organisation, Abba Eban, once said: ‘If Algeria introduced a resolution declaring that the earth was flat and that Israel had flattened it, it would pass by a vote of 164 to 13 with 26 abstentions’. There is nothing new in what just happened at the UN.” He also praised the US as “the moral beacon shining out of the darkness.” Minister of Strategic Affairs and Public Security Gilad Erdan said: “The historic connection between Israel and Jerusalem is stronger than any vote by the ‘United Nations’ — nations who are united only by their fear and their refusal to recognise the simple truth that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and the Jewish people.”
