Like Lemmings

Lemmings of the public ... beware ... the power mad, money obsessed, 'scaremongerers' have firmly pressed the button on The Swine Flu pandemic.
These psychotic minds are the impetus behind the media campaign which is currently brainwashing us into believing that swine flu is spiralling out of control ... amazing how the swine flu is now following the predicted trends which was theorectical supposition only weeks ago ... amazing too the push to have the entire population infected with an untried vaccine .... amazingly too, the same psychotic minds are likely to make oodles and oodles of more cash, from the lemmings of the public, when they are scaremongered into having this now infamous jab!
Somehow ... the urge to react to the constant bombardment in the media has to be overcome ... somehow we must overcome this latest glamour beamed at us from the power man elite. But, then, it is likely there will be capital punishment enforced on those who do not fall for their mind control. How did we let it come to this? And what has happened to the flight boxes of Flight 447? There is now only silence from that quarter ... the world is primed now for the swine flu epidemic ... like lemmings we now approach the edge of the cliff, and await our turn in the enforced queues, to accept the stab of the needle ... to permit a toxin into our veins that will indicate life will never be the same again. The power man elite will be triumphant ... they will have succeeded in mass mind control ... again.

Air France Flight 447 Destroyed By Meteorite?

Air France Flight 447 en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris disappeared over the Mid-Atlantic (just north of the equator) at approximately 1.33UTC on June 1st 2009.

No mayday signal was received from the aircraft and almost two weeks later, aviation officials have yet to give a coherent explanation as to what could have caused the sudden demise of a high tech Airbus 330-200 passenger plane. Severe weather has also been proposed as a possible cause. This theory is based on the report that at about 1am UTC the pilots reported that they had encountered “stormy weather with strong turbulence”. Daniel G. Kottlowski, a senior meteorologist with Accuweather.com calculated that thunderstorms in the region of the crash could have generated updrafts in the range of 100 miles per hour, although he conceded that this was not unusual weather for the region.

According to commercial transport pilots familiar with the route, it is likely that the flight crew of the Air France aircraft was aware of the intensity of the storm in the flight path at that altitude long before actually encountering the thunderstorms. Using the on board radar pilots can see and fairly easily navigate around particular storm cells.

Lightning is also unlikely to have caused any serious problems because modern aircraft are designed to take lightning strikes without significant damage. The most compelling evidence against the weather theory however is the fact that
two Lufthansa jets flew through the same area both before and after Flight 447 without incident.

On Monday, a source with access to the data transmitted to the World Meteorological Organisation told Reuters in Paris that the two jets passed through turbulence before and after the plane without incident, leaving experts scrambling to assess the weather’s role in the disaster.

Indeed, no less than
12 other flights shared more or less the same route with Flight 447 around the time of the accident. No weather problems were reported by any of the planes.

Recent reports that passengers bodies
have been found 54kms apart, strongly suggesting that the plane broke apart high in the air.

Though no one yet knows for sure what destroyed the plane, investigators are concerned that it was not caused, as first suggested, by a lightning strike or a bomb or a meteorite. Instead they fear it was a fatal collision of high technology and the brute force of nature.

Ah yes, the “brute force of nature”! Now that is getting close, but even closer was the reference to a meteorite.

Within a few days of the crash the first piece of evidence that something other than high technology and weather destroyed AF 447 came in.

A Spanish pilot with Air Comet (which flies from South and Central American countries to Madrid) flying the Lima to Madrid route reported a bright descending light in the region of AF 447’s last position:

“Suddenly we saw in the distance a bright intense flash of white light that fell straight down and disappeared in six seconds”.

At the time of the sighting, (the co-pilot and a passenger who was in the front kitchen area of the airplane also saw it), the Air Comet aircraft was located at seven degrees north of the equator and at the 49th meridian West. The estimated location for the A-330-203 until the moment of its disappearance is at the equator and around the 30th meridian West

It seems reasonable to suggest that an aircraft would not produce a bright and intense white light for six seconds as it fell from the sky. The many dozens of meteorite and fireball sightings over the past few years however are often seen as bright white flashes of descending light.

Signals from Air France jet's black box traced as 11 bodies are identified

Faint signals from flight recorders of the Air France jet which crashed with the loss of 228 lives have been heard deep below the Atlantic. The signals were picked up by the French Navy and a mini submarine is now headed towards the emission site. Black boxes from the doomed Airbus will hold the vital clues as to how the plane met its end on June 1st as it travelled from Rio de Janeiro to Paris.

French naval vessels picked up the ‘very weak’ signal using state-of-the-art search technology. It is not known whether the signal came from the flight's data recorder or the voice recorder. Locator beacons known as 'pingers' send an electronic signal every second for at least 30 days, and it can be heard up to 1.5 miles away.

French ships involved in the search operation include a nuclear submarine with advanced sonar equipment and a research ship equipped with the mini subs. All are methodically scanning the surface and depths of the Atlantic for signs of the plane, over a 50 mile search radius.

An Air France spokeswoman said she could not confirm the report. (Daily Mail)

Air France crash families get first compensation as investigators continue to sift wreckage for clues

Air France have offered the first advance on compensation to families of victims from doomed Flight 447, while investigators worked quietly to solve the mystery of what brought the jet down.

The top European air safety agency said there was not yet enough evidence to issue a mandatory recall of an external air speed monitor suspected of contributing to the disaster.

Air France chief executive Phillipe Gourgeon told RTL radio that the airline plans to make an advance of about £14,500 for each of the 228 victims, with no strings attached. He said it is also may hold a memorial for all the victims of the May 31 crash, Gourgeon said.

Some relatives of French victims have accused Air France of a lack of sympathy and of failing to keep them informed about the crash investigation.

But Gourgeon said the airline has had trouble even reaching some relatives of victims, who came from 32 countries.

He said that sometimes the only contact number for a victim is from a mobile phone that was lost in the crash. (Daily Mail)

Galley kitchen from doomed Air France flight discovered floating intact in middle of Atlantic

Floating in the middle of the Atlantic, this galley kitchen is the latest piece of Air France Flight 447 to be recovered by salvage crews.

The wreckage is extraordinarily intact despite being part of an plane that experts believe broke apart in midair. Even some of the drawers, containing a selection of ready-meals for passengers, remained wedged securely inside the unit

Autopsies on victims of Flight 447 and debris from the plane strongly suggest the plane broke up in the air, experts have said. Fractures in the legs, hips and arms of the Air France disaster victims recovered from the Atlantic suggest the Airbus broke up midfight. Brazil's navy have recovered 50 bodies from the 228 who perished during the flight bound for Pairs.

Investigators have also collected more than 400 bits of debris from the ocean's surface, including large pieces which have remained intact. Experts said this would also indicate the aircraft broke up in flight.

Last night. the top French investigator said he was optimistic about discovering what brought down Flight 447, but he also called the conditions - far from land in very deep waters - 'one of the worst situations ever known in an accident investigation.'

Paul-Louis Arslanian, who runs the French air accident investigation agency BEA, said added they were beginning to form 'an image that is progressively less fuzzy'.

Investigators no closer to cause of Air France crash as company jet is target of sabotage

Experts investigating the Air France crash which killed 228 people today said they were no closer to establishing the cause of the disaster. The announcement came as it emerged another plane in the company's fleet had been sabotaged just three days later.

A pilot discovered a defect with a smoke detector before leaving Dusseldorf Airport, in Germany.The Paris-bound flight went ahead as the technical fault was not enough to ground the aircraft. Technicians later found wires on the Airbus A318 had been sliced with a cutter, according to reports. Air France suspect a 'malicious act'.

More than 400 pieces of Flight 447 have now been recovered after a painstaking search of the Atlantic.

'If we had concluded or excluded something, we would have told you,' said Paul-Louis Arslanian, head of the French air accident investigation agency BEA.He expressed 'a little more optimism' in finding clues to the cause of the crash as discovery of more debris narrowed the vast search zone off the north-east coast of Brazil.

The Air France Airbus A330 crashed into the ocean on May 31 after running into thunderstorms en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris.

Speaking at BEA headquarters in the Le Bourget air field outside Paris, Arslanian said more than 400 pieces of wreckage have been recovered and are being gathered in a hangar in Recife, Brazil. He said the debris came from 'all zones' of the plane, but did not describe them in detail or say what proportion of the entire Airbus A330 has been retrieved.

Still missing are the plane's two black boxes, its flight data and voice recorders, thought to be deep under water. (Daily Mail)

Air France Jet 'Disintegrated In Mid-Air'

Two pieces of new evidence have suggested that the stricken Air France jet broke up over a number of minutes, rather than in one catastrophic incident. Firstly, bodies from Flight 447 had been picked up from locations more than 50 miles apart, the Brazilian Air Force revealed.

And secondly, a re-analysis of the plane's last automatic transmissions indicated many parts had malfunctioned before it plunged into the Atlantic. Manufacturer Airbus told customers the investigation re-enforced the belief that the parts measuring air speed were the first to fail.

The plane's three speed sensors, or Pitot tubes, are likely to have malfunctioned four hours into the flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, according to pilot union officials who examined the data.

Meanwhile, two terror suspects who died alongside 226 other passengers on the stricken jet have been ruled out as a cause of the disaster. The two men only "shared the same name" as known Islamic radicals, posthumous security checks found. Although their bodies have yet to be recovered, France's Interior Ministry confirmed that a "deep and wide-ranging investigation has allowed us to clear them".

The announcement came as the urgent hunt for the flight's black boxes was boosted by the introduction of a French nuclear submarine.(Uk.News.Yahoo)

Two passengers on doomed Air France jet had names linked to Islamic terror groups

Two passengers with names linked to Islamic terrorism were on board the Air France flight which crashed with the loss of 228 lives, it emerged today. Both were men in their 20s of unspecified nationality, but their bodies have not yet been found, making proper identification impossible.

French secret servicemen established the connection while working through the list of those who boarded the doomed Airbus in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on May 31st.

It has also emerged that the laptop and boarding pass of British oil executive Arthur Coakley have been found in the wreckage of the jet.

Flight AF447 crashed in mid-Atlantic en route to Paris during a violent storm.
While it is certain that there were computer malfunctions – and that these were the most likely reason for the accident - terrorism has not been ruled out.

Soon after the fatal crash agents working for the DGSE (Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure), the French equivalent of MI6, were dispatched to Brazil.

It was there that they established that two names on the passenger list are also on highly classified documents listing the names of radical Muslims considered a threat to the French Republic.

There were 32 nationalities represented on the Air France flight, including Moroccans and Lebanese. (Daily Mail)

Flight 447 Update: Searchers recover 24 bodies and large tail section

Daily Mail Headline; says: "Search crews have now recovered 24 bodies from the Air France jet that crashed off the coast of Brazil nine days ago killing all 228 on board, including five Britons. Divers yesterday also recovered a large tail section of the plane, a find which could help locate and recover the doomed jet's black boxes. The discoveries of debris and the bodies are all helping searchers narrow their hunt for the jet's black boxes, which were located in the fuselage near the tail section of the jet.

William Waldock, who teaches air crash investigation at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Arizona, said that does not mean the black boxes will necessarily be located near where the debris was recovered, 'but finding the tail narrows down the area even further'.

Air France fuselage found near to where Flight 447 disappeared as six bodies are recovered from ocean

The Brazilian Air Force has found six bodies, including two men, floating in the ocean near where investigators believe doomed Air France Flight 447 crashed. They also discovered further debris from the plane today, including a section of fuselage bearing the Air France logo.

The first two bodies from the crash were found early on Saturday morning, with another two being found today.

Speaking yesterday, spokesman Jorge Amaral confirmed the discovery of the first two bodies. He said: 'This morning at 8:14am, we confirmed the retrieval from the water of pieces and bodies that belonged to the Air France flight.'

Among the debris retrieved on Saturday was a seat with a serial number that matched the missing flight, a rucksack, and a case with an Air France ticket inside, rescue officials said. Air France has confirmed that the ticket corresponded to a passenger on board Flight 447.

Brazil's air force has been scouring a swathe of the Atlantic about 680 miles (1,100km) northeast of Brazil's coast since Monday's crash. Several Brazilian navy ships have also arrived in the area, but fears have grown that many bodies sank or were devoured by sharks.

The news came as it was revealed Air France had not replaced airspeed instruments on the plane as the maker Airbus recommended before it crashed in a storm with 228 people on board. (Daily Mail)

Bodies of two men and an Air France ticket found floating in ocean near where Flight 447 disappeared

The Brazilian Air Force has found the bodies of two men floating in the ocean near where investigators believe doomed Air France Flight 447 crashed. The first bodies from the crash were found early on Saturday morning, spokesman Jorge Amaral told reporters in the north-eastern Brazilian city of Recife.

'This morning at 8:14 a.m., we confirmed the retrieval from the water of pieces and bodies that belonged to the Air France flight,' Amaral said.

Among the debris retrieved on Saturday was a seat with a serial number that matched the missing flight, a rucksack, and a case with an Air France ticket inside, rescue officials said. Air France has confirmed that the ticket corresponded to a passenger on board Flight 447.

Brazil's air force has been scouring a swathe of the Atlantic about 680 miles (1,100 km) northeast of Brazil's coast since Monday's crash.

Several Brazilian navy ships have also arrived in the area, but fears have grown that many bodies sank or were devoured by sharks.

The news came as it was revealed Air France had not replaced airspeed instruments on the plane as the maker Airbus recommended before it crashed in a storm with 228 people on board. The French accident investigation agency, BEA, found the doomed plane received inconsistent airspeed readings by different instruments as it struggled in a massive thunderstorm on its flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris in the early hours of Monday morning.

Airbus had recommended to all its airline customers that they replace speed-measuring instruments known as Pitot tubes on the A330, the model used for Flight 447, said Paul-Louis Arslanian, the head of the agency.

'They hadn't yet been replaced' on the plane that crashed, said Alain Bouillard, head of the French investigation. Air France declined immediate comment.

Arslanian cautioned that it is too early to draw conclusions about the role of Pitot tubes in the crash, saying that 'it does not mean that without replacing the Pitots that the A330 was dangerous.' It also emerged today that the jet had issued 24 system failure messages before it crashed. Fourteen of those messages were sent within the space of one minute, from 3.10am BST to 3.11am BST, a briefing in Paris was told today. (Daily Mail)

Missing Air France Jet: 'No Debris Found'

Salvage teams have yet to recover any wreckage from missing Air France flight 447 - despite earlier reports. A Brazilian air force official said debris recovered from the crash site on Thursday was not from the lost Airbus A330. Brigadier Ramon Cardoso, director of Brazilian air traffic control, said: "Up to now, no material from the plane has been recovered. We confirm that the pallet found is not part of the debris of the plane. It's a pallet that was in the area, but considered more to be trash."

Items, including the cargo pallet and two buoys pulled from the sea on Thursday actually came from another source, he said, most probably a ship. The pallet was made of wood and the Air France Airbus A330 did not have any wooden pallets on board.

He also said a big oil slick originally thought to come from the plane probably also came from a ship passing through the zone, 600 miles off Brazil's coast. The fuel slick had originally been used as evidence to suggest the plane did not explode - now a theory under question.

It is five days since the passenger plane went down off Brazil's northeastern coast, killing all 228 people aboard in the world's worst aviation disaster since 2001. (Sky News)

Daily Merlin Insight: 'Flight 447'

Thursday 4th June 2009
Using Servants Of The Light tarot

With the word 'flight 447' firmly in focus and the new's story in mind ... the following images were obtained in an aid to comprehend what took place with Flight 447:

6 of Crescents
Prime Of Spheres
5 of Staves

The 6 of Crescents depicts 'a face' rising up out of the raging sea' ... a flurry of sparks and a vapour trail ....

The Prime Of Crescents indicates a large bright light within a storm cloud pattern... ??? An explosion ... on impact with the plane ... an impact when the plane was within the storm system?

The 5 of Staves depicts a log (the plane?) being hit by more than one impact? [Section removed] Also it suggests the plane fragmented into several pieces after the impacts ... ??? Four impacts? Four key faces on board the plane?

Officials investigate Argentina bomb threat as pilot claims Air France Flight 447 was blown out of the sky by terrorists

Air France received a bomb threat four days before Flight 447 plunged into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Brazil, it emerged yesterday.

The telephone warning targeted a flight from Buenos Aires that was also travelling to Paris. Although that plane arrived safely on May 27, the news fuelled speculation that there may be a more sinister explanation for why the Airbus from Rio de Janeiro vanished from radar screens with 228 people on board, including five Britons.

Aviation experts said the vast area over which debris has been found suggested there was an in-flight explosion, but that did not mean a bomb had to be the cause. The explosion and resulting break-up could have resulted from a massive depressurisation inside the plane for another reason. If this happened at high altitude, the passengers would have fallen instantly unconscious and may have been oblivious to their fate.

Details of the messages sent by the plane just before it disappeared were published in a Brazilian newspaper yesterday. The report, citing an Air France source, said the pilot sent a signal at 11pm local time saying he was flying through an area of 'CBs' - black, electrically charged thunder clouds. (Daily Mail)

Wreckage - including plane seats - spotted floating in ocean in search for missing Air France flight with 228 on board

Debris from a plane believed to be missing Air France Flight 447 has been found floating in the ocean some 400 miles north-east of Brazil, the Brazilian Air Force has revealed.The wreckage, including seats from the plane and a life jacket, may confirm the worst fears of relatives of the 228 people on board the doomed flight. Also spotted were small white pieces of material that may be metallic, and signs of oil and kerosene, which is used as jet fuel.

Air Force spokesman Jorge Amaral said the seats were spotted by search planes early this morning but that authorities have not yet confirmed they were from the plane.

'The plan now is to focus our efforts to collect the debris and try to identify if they belong or not to the Air France plane,' Amaral said at a news conference. 'The locations where the objects were found are towards the right of the point where the last signal of the plane was emitted,' Amaral said.

'That suggests that it might have tried to make a turn, maybe to return to Fernando de Noronha, but that is just a hypothesis. The search is continuing because it's very little material in relation to the size [of the Airbus A330],' he added.

Officials need 'a piece that might have a serial number, some sort of identification' to be sure it came from the missing jet.

Brazilian military ships are not expected to arrive at the area until Wednesday. If no survivors are found it will be the worst crash since 2001 and the biggest loss of life in Air France's 75-year history.

The debris was found about 375 miles (650 kilometres) north-east of the Brazilian archipelago of Fernando de Noronha - near where the last contact was made with the jet on Sunday night.

Yesterday, pilots flying a commercial jet from Paris to Rio de Janeiro for Brazil's largest airline, TAM, said they saw what they thought was fire in the ocean along the route taken by the missing plane yesterday.

The debris found this morning is believed to have been spotted in the same location. It was spotted as the French defence minister said today the possibility of a terrorist act on the plane 'cannot be ruled out'. No distress signal was received and aviation experts said they did not have enough information to understand how flight AF 447 could have disappeared from radar screens without a trace over the Atlantic.

Five Britons among 228 passengers on Air France plane that vanishes en route from Brazil to Paris

Five Britons and three Irish citizens were among 228 passengers and crew feared killed today when a packed Air France jet ran into strong turbulence off the coast of Brazil and vanished from radar screens.

As the airline faced up to the worst disaster in its history, it confirmed the chances of anyone surviving the catastrophe were zero.

It is believed Flight AF447 was either brought down by a lightning strike after hitting the severe weather or suffered a devastating mechanical failure.

The Airbus A330-200 - a plane with an excellent safety record – had taken off from Rio de Janeiro at 7.03pm local time on Sunday.

The flight had been due to arrive at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris at 11.15am today - some 11 hours later - but air traffic controllers had their last contact with the aircraft about four hours into the flight.

The pilot came on the radio saying he had hit severe turbulence. Fifteen minutes later the aircraft's systems sent automatic error messages reporting multiple electrical faults and a drastic loss of cabin pressure. Such factors suggested that the plane had broken up in the storm, said an Air France source in Paris.

The source confirmed that there was ‘no hope’ of finding anybody in the wreckage.

The Brazilian Air Force is carrying out a search for the missing aircraft.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said: 'I have been in touch with the Foreign Office... We are doing all the checking that is necessary.'

'We are probably facing an air catastrophe,' Air France Chief Executive Pierre-Henri Gourgeon said. (Daily Mail)
