Where were the Israeli missile ships when the plane
went down?
Well, you just can’t make this stuff up. Did someone
decided to do a double dip on Egypt with another plane down, this time over
water where evidence is much harder to recover?
From past examinations we have learned these incidents
are almost never done randomly as to the timing, but tied to a current or
upcoming event.
Confusion is always part of the plan, and hence we had
the false report of plane debris found off some Greek island, very strange for
a flight from France to Egypt. And like the last Egyptian plane lost, we had
authorities there initially confirming and then unconfirming some of the early
reports.
And Gordon Duff, Senior Editor:
Our sources tell us that Donald Trump’s announcement that he knows who
shot down the Egyptian plane has quite a story behind it. What if Donald
is financially vulnerable, a lifetime of dirty deals, bankruptcies and having
others handle things for him while he judges beauty contests and plays on TV?
What if Sheldon Adelson, the Vegas gambling boss that bankrolls Israel’s
Likudists, those we believe behind 9/11, the Hebdo killings, the illegal Bush
presidency and so much more, came to the aid of Trump, who had convinced many
he was willing to stand up to Israel?
What if Trump, being who he is, a blowhard out of his
depth, got read in on how Israel could use one of its Barak 8 missiles,
recently tested in the Eastern Mediterranean on on the INS Lahav, decided to do
a repeat on the MH17 downing that some, those with good sources, believe Israel
may have arranged as well, a “plane to plane” shootdown with a pair of Kiev
fighters vectored into MH17 by an Israeli AWAC flying out of Azerbaijan?
Trump says more planes will fall. His new source of
course is Adelson’s boys in Tel Aviv.

Israeli Navy to begin installing Barak 8 on Sa’ar 4.5
corvettes
Yaakov Lappin, Tel Aviv – IHS Jane’s Defence Weekly
Israel is to convert its Sa’ar 4.5 missile corvettes
so that they can operate the Barak 8 missile-based air defence system Source:

The Israeli Navy will soon begin a conversion
programme for its Sa’ar 4.5 missile corvettes to enable them to be fitted with
the Israel Aerospace Industries’ (IAI’s) Barak 8 missile-based air defence
system, a senior naval source in Israel said on 7 February.
The conversion programme, due to be completed within
two to three years, will see all the Sa’ar 4.5 ships fitted with Barak 8
launchers and a variant of IAI’s Elta EL/M 2248 MF-STAR radar.
The conversions of the Sa’ar 4.5 ships come as the
navy expects to complete upgrades to the heavier Sa’ar 5 corvettes within a
year, enabling all of them to use the Barak 8. Currently, the system is
installed on one Sa’ar 5 vessel, INS Lahav , which carried out
a live-fire trial in November.

Jim and
Gordon continued …
As always, the anguished families, hoping for a
miracle
Cairo had initially confirmed the Greek wreckage report and then the Greeks reported that the debris
seen earlier was conclusively not from a plane. So one wonders how Cairo had
confirmed it was, if that report really came from Cairo and not maybe from
someone else hacking their communications.
This morning we seem to have reliable confirmation in
an areas north of Alexandria, debris, floating seat cushions, body parts,
an organized search radius and the beginning of the hunt for the black boxes.
But there the plot thickens.
Out of the gate comes Presidential race horse Donald
Trump to take the lead on the pole. He claims he already knows who took the
plane down (but won’t tell us), claiming it was terrorists, but then has more.
He tells us there are going to be more shot down, and goes further still. He says
this will trigger a world wide recession because everyone will be afraid to
fly, a recession like we have never seen.
So, what do we have here? Is it just Trump being his usual undignified and
unpresidential self by ambulance chasing any news event he can to get some free
publicity? But why would he be doing this now when the nomination is sewn up,
and being so aggressive on this Egyptian plane story? What other motivations
could there be?
On the list of things to check, always high up, is
money…has some recently arrived or is some being sought where one might want to
prove their future worth? Right away we have Shelly Adelson’s promised $100
million, who
many view as an international hoodlum capable of just about anything.
Adelson also is an uber-supporter of Netanyahu
and the Likud Party in Israel and has all the government and non-government
contractor security and intelligence people standing in line wanting to get on
his payroll by being “useful”. Israel has been getting slowly squeezed by
factions of the EU and international community by their growing
outspokeness on the stalemate on the West bank and the settlements,
getting a little too uppity as some might put it.
That brings us to a very strange May 18th Reuters story about a new offshore Iron Dome missile
interceptor system completing a successful live fire testing
two weeks ago, claiming to have been designed to protect it off shore gas
platforms off the southern coast of Israel-Gaza, where several short
range target “ballistic missiles” were fired from “a moving boat”.
The key to an iron come is not some much the missiles,
but the radar system and software to run it.
But we noticed a few odd things here. Such a “system”,
the term they use, would have been better situated on an off shore platform
itself versus a boat to defend against the bottle rockets fired from Gaza. And
the claims that the underwater gas pipelines could be vulnerable to what is
effectively mortar fire is of course ridiculous. So that hoax story was put out
as a diversion for what the real purpose for what will be a very expensive
weapons platform will be for.
And two, the real Iron Dome they want us to believe
they are talking about is the one that required two Aegis Destroyers to be able
to triangulate targeting an incoming missile. One boat by itself cannot do
this. So someone is pulling somebody’s leg here.
The new ground based Aegis system in Romania
The proof lies further north up in the Black Sea, where the same issue existed.
Two Aegis destroyers with their powerful long range radars. Due to the
limitations of how many ship the US is allowed to have there on one Aegis was
usually there, which would be pointless for it’s key assigned defense role
which requires two.
But if another had been installed like three years ago
in Romania, that would complete the pair needed to provide the defense
capability that the billions spend on the US’s 26 Aegis destroyers. That would
make the recent announcement of of the Romanian base going operational just a
formality.
Was it actually operational several years before?
Let’s go back to the USS Donald Cook incident in the Black Sea, where its
electronics were taken down via the electronic warfare pod on the lone unarmed
Russian SU bomber fly over. That would have taken one of the two radars needed
out, leaving the land based system ineffective.
Russia was showing the US that it was aware of the
game being played by the operational system on land, and could take the water
based component down if needed. A big stink was not made of it then by the US
as the Russians could have released the news of the operational system in Romania.
USS Donald Cook
In closing we now have an Egyptian airliner going down within the vicinity of this new offshore Israeli
Iron Dome operational area which is manned by inexperienced crews.
We know it does not work unless there are two radar stations yet the test
claims there was only one.
We have heard not a shred of information that the
Israelis have developed radars on par with the Aegis, but would have wanted to
because during the last Gaza turkey shoot Obama pulled both US ships out of
there which is why Israel’s claimed 90% hit rate was baloney.
What they were calling hits were all the detonations
of the missiles that missed, a safety feature, but where the big bang being
logged up as a hit. Missile tests have always been reported as successful if
doing otherwise was deemed to hurt national security in anyway.
The US Patriot missiles were way more ineffective that
reported, which is why new version after new version keep coming out, all more
cost plus profits for the manufacturer.
The Aegis radar is a very expensive system. Have we
given ours technology to the Israelis, or have they gotten it like they have so
much of our military tech, via espionage? This has gone on all the
way back to the 1980’s when 50% of the FBI’s counter intelligence resources
were consumed in blocking the Israelis who were stealing everything they could
to make and market internationally, or to resell the technology to the Soviets
or Chinese.
The last Egyptian plane went down when Israel was
holding a large joint air combat exercise with a number of NATO countries where
the plane was within range of those exercises. This was totally ignored
by mass media in its reporting. Who do we know that has a history of not only
doing terrorist attacks by making money on them in the futures markets by
knowing what commodities will be going down after such an attack?
It happened with the airline stocks after 9-11, and
with no prosecutions or even an arrest. And we see it happening with multiple
gas and oil pipelines are blown up in one week to disrupt supply. These suspect
list as to who have the logistics ability to pull off such stunts is a short
one, and it does not include Jihadis.
