P2 - 10. In the months ahead, the Investigation Team will need to analyse to draw conclusions and safety recommendations based on the factual information that have been gathered. 

In addition to the analysis and the conclusion phase of the investigation, steps taken will also include further validation of the factual information on emergence of new evidence.

Read the P2 quoted statement above again; carefully.   Sound familiar - Seems to me PAIN called the end game scenario for MH 370 fairly well, certainly from the Australian point of view anyway.  Looking through the latest on Paper-li the inevitable fall out and bucket of crap that was always heading in Australia's direction looks to be getting set up to dump on the Minuscule, despite the debates and window dressing.   We are left to wonder now if the carefully staged managed exit strategy can withstand the blast.  Anyone who understands the way thing work could see all this coming last year.  Politics will always trump the public interest, everyday.  If the purblind, naive Australian government believes for one moment that the Malaysians will not use any and all means possible to keep the family skeletons firmly concealed, then they need a new tea leaf reader.  The only question for Australia now is how complicit can they afford to be seen to be, damage control in full swing.

Slatts, P777 and good number of the other associates make a compelling argument for some form of 'criminal' act.  Given the narrow range of investigative 'hard' options, the resources, the level of intelligence gathering made available and the powers of the Malaysian government, it's a bollocks to keep claiming 'mystery'.  Someone, somewhere knows exactly what happened; the why, where and how of it.  Considering there is not, as yet, a wreck to examine, you have to wonder if the obfuscation is just a play for time.  Time to dim the memory and public interest; time to allow the unpalatable truths to be filtered, manipulated and diluted to a point where the shock can do minimal political, fiscal and emotional damage. A gift from a caring, humane government, if you like.  Remember, the Australian government had no scruple to do exactly this and more with the Pel-Air crash investigation, so why on earth should MH 370 be different for the Malaysians?.  

Along side the theories and those desperately trying to convince the world that 'their' pet version is the 'right' version, the questions keep coming don't they though.  But is there is a supportable case for a stand away and rethink? – probably not; it won't be allowed. Not with the public pressure and interest waning.  Anyway - who would have faith in a Malaysian 'inquiry', even if they should live long enough to see the result?

The press are of little value; I have never read so much rehashed clap trap.  Every media outlet redrafting the same tired, sad story.  Social media squabbling over the carefully controlled, quietly released crumbs and developing evermore bizarre theories; assumption upon assumption, nary a whisper of 'fact' or in some cases even the truth.   Apart from the inestimable Sir Tim, no one has challenged the 'official' line.  In the recently published interview/article, - HERE - for mine (and PAIN) money he asks all the right questions and; between the lines, provides, subliminally, most of the right answers.   Unanimously acknowledged as 'the man'.  Bravo Tim Clark...

P2 – "However for mine the most pertinent part of the Irving offering comes in the last five paragraphs and brings my post full cycle i.e. to the woolly Mammoth steadily gaining weight at the back of the room."  

Amen to that: ET may well have done it; but it's a dollar to a pound of Kangaroo pooh Vlad Putin didn't knock it off.   But someone who has been very naughty has capitalised very nicely on the preconditioned, predictable response from government and human nature.   However it plays out, like the Mt Erubus, and Lockhart river accidents, the ghosts will not be easily laid to rest, despite the best efforts of those stage managing this farce.  Mind you, Dolan and his word weasels, in cahoots with the Malaysian version have yet to set to work.    

Got a BRB competition running; to see who can get the coup de grâce exit strategy and excuse story closest to date and word perfect.  PAIN wise owls are holding the bets and copy, so, when the time is right, we'll let the BRB panel decide a winner, drink the wagers then relegate MH 370 to cruise conversation; until someone is prepared to reveal the real reasons, defining how and why a 777 was disappeared, without a trace.  Unbelievable?  Yes children, that's right, it most certainly is...... ..

Exit..err..stage SIO??

Reading about the lengths the KL government go to shutdown any sort of criticism from opposition pollies, media & social network makes our  Murky Mandarin & Beaker appear raw amateurs in the game of spin & bulldust obfuscating balls-ups & cover-ups.

On twitter last night our little pirate frog @oceankoto drew my attention to a Ben Sandilands comment on PT that summarised perfectly my personal sentiments on the KL obfuscation of MH370 - https://twitter.com/i/notifications:

Simon,
In relation to the initial claim that military radar saw MH370 after the transponders went off line this is the sequence of events as i recorded it.
1. There was a high quality leak from the military that they saw the diversion.
2. This was hastily and emphatically denied by the authorities.
3. The authorities then conceded that there was something that might have been MH370 on that radar record, and had sought the opinion of the NTSB.
4. After consulting with the NTSB the authorities confirmed that it may well have been MH370, then segued into ‘it was MH370′ and that the last radar trace seen by Malaysian military was at 29,500 feet offshore from Phuket travelling NW.
5. Having been earlier forced to publicly deny the leaks the military then stood beside the Malaysian authorities confirming that the original leak was correct.
Fast forward to 1 May, and on the night of the release of the interim report HH posted a Facebook entry confirming that cabinet knew the plane had turned westwards across the Malaysia Peninsula on the morning that MH370 disappeared.
This is the core reason for my concluding that the authorities hit the ground lying from early on 8 March and that they deliberately lied to their search partners and knowingly diluted the search effort by insisting on further searching of the South China Sea and the other remoter northern ‘possibilities’ for almost two weeks.

Once the search effort was focused on the South Indian Ocean the apparent haste with which the authorities persuaded the Australian managed search to move away from the scenes of potential debris fields by spotted by satellites, including a radar sat, which registered returns from solid objects remains a legitimate concern.

These events support a conclusion that the authorities knew something about the disappearance of MH370 very very early in the story and have been determined to keep it secret.

As a consequence I think that missing information is of critical importance to understanding what might have happened to MH370.
Several other things. In the report just released it is said that civil radar did also see MH370 during its diversion from its intended path several times, fitting in with the military claims. I make no comment on whether those claims are true or false, I simply note them for further reference.

On the night of the disappearance of an airliner with 239 people on board the responses of the airline and officials in Malaysia was delinquent and desultory. The indifference shown to the disappearance is unprecedented in my experience in the loss of a major airliner.
I have not seen any real evidence of MH370 flying at either 43,000 or 45,000 or so low it was hedgehopping across the peninsula. I believe those reports to be concoctions from within the media echo chamber of those early days.

I further note from the indefatigable work of Mike Chillit that in recent weeks there has been substantial rescanning of sections of the sea bed previously covered, much of it with the new deep sea AUV capability, consistent with the official statement that there were ‘holes’ or difficult places where wreckage might not have been detected by the first scan runs over them.

I do not have a dogmatic nor precise explanation or theory as to the cause of this disappearance. But I do know official lying when I see it, I do not expect this was frivolous but instead purposeful, and we need to understand that purpose to assist us in our search for answers.
I deeply appreciate your efforts and those of other competent and quizzical observers who have contributed so generously to our discussion.

      
Excellent stuff Ben...P2  

Ps OK & I had some fun after that poking fun at Beaker (DD..Dolan) -  https://twitter.com/oceankoto/status/577785418428604416
