Malaysia MH-370 wormhole

Unified Patriots by Vassar Bushmills

You may not recognize this phrase much anymore, but in the 1960s it was a common plea, heard up and down the line at any railroad station in Delhi, Bombay, Cape Town, Singapore, and thousands of smaller stations where clerks sold tickets, or ran small offices that had to deal with the teeming masses on a regular basis.

Having been to most of those places, I can say that Indians, South Africans, Malays, and Indonesians do not appear to be naturally self-defensive about their actions. But one needs to step back another few generations to Charles Dickens’ London to find the source of this “I am not responsible” cultural crutch, for the British colonial empire was the cement that glued all these low-level administrative factotums into one. As one of the themes woven into one of his later novels, Little Dorritt (1857) Dickens described the endless revolving door in dealing with the English bureaucracy. (This was at a time in history when the bureaucracy had almost no impact on American business and commerce, for the simple reason our people refused to be taxed in order to pay for one…a subject we talk about all the time here.)

The British Empire was built on the back of its civil service class who dealt with the (teeming and irate) public on a daily basis. They took all the heat at railroad stations or any point of contact for public services. I can’t count the number of times in southern Asia I had a clerk, usually as a sign of resignation and an abrupt goodbye, (and a “don’t let the door bump you in the arse on your way out” shrug) simply throw up his hands and say, “I am not responsible, I am not responsible.”

In their world it is always the passenger’s job to find the root of his problem. They are not responsible.

Having not traveled there for 25 years, I never gave this little cultural quirk much thought until MH370 fell off the map in 2014. I last flew Singapore Air in 1987, and had checked Malaysian Air out at the time, in both Hong Kong and Singapore. They were considered better that other Asian regional airlines, though not as chic as Singapore.

The missing MH370 was a Boeing 777.

But it only took 2-3 days after the plane went missing to note that various agencies in the Malaysian government were sometimes less than helpful in finding this aircraft. I tried to construct in my own mind how the Airline, the Malaysia air agency, and the Malaysian government in Kuala Lumpur, perhaps all the way down to ground crew supervisors, up through ministries, might already have been trying to immunize themselves from any kind of responsibility…because that’s what over 200 years of Mother England had taught them to do[…]

REPORT: Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 Captain a Political Fanatic

Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, Mayalsian Islamist


Every day presents a new set of possibilities concerning the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines MH370 with no relief for the family, friends and loved ones of the passengers and crew.

Today’s twist is brought to us courtesy of DailyMail.co.UK who reports that Flight Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, pilot of MH370 was an obsessive political fanatic and supporter of Malaysian opposition leader, Anwar Ibrahim.

Ibrahim was jailed just hours before the departure of MH370 from Kuala Lumpur for homosexuality, the result of which may have sent Shah over the edge. (Ibrahim’s supporters say that the accusations are the result of a smear campaign and persecution.)

Ibrahim was jailed just hours before the departure of MH370 from Kuala Lumpur for homosexuality, the result of which may have sent Shah pictured above in a t-shirt with the words “Democracy is Dead” over the edge. Ibrahim’s supporters insist that the accusations are the result of a smear campaign and persecution. (Not to make light of this horrible situation, I feel like I am watching a Harrison Ford movie.)

In addition to the never-ending twists and turns, Shah’s wife and three children moved out of the home one day before the disappearance of MH370.

Daily Mail

…It comes as FBI investigators say the disappearance of MH370 may have been ‘an act of piracy’ and the possibility that hundreds of passengers are being held at an unknown location has not been ruled out.

Officials also revealed that it is possible the aircraft could have landed and transmitted a satellite signal from the ground. If the plane was intact and had enough electrical power in reserve, it would be able to send out a radar ‘ping’….

According to the Daily Mail, the search was put on hold “until ‘fresh search areas’ were defined by Malaysia.” This is lunacy. Surely, the families of the crew and passengers of Flight MH370 are at this point well past losing their minds.

At the same time, I am starting to get the feeling that there are those nations who for whatever reason would rather just call it a day and move on.

Finally, as reported in Xinhua, english.news, Malaysia’s opposition party (People’s Justice Party (PKR)) is dismissing news reports of possible links to Shah in addition to claims that the flight captain was a political fanatic. “…PKR communications director Fahmi Fadzil said the report of the British newspaper the Daily Mail was ‘wild allegations’ and the paper ‘is a sensationalist tabloid known for cooking up stories….”

UPDATE: Al-Qaeda Informer Warned Authorities of Malaysian Islamists’ Plan to Hijack Plane (Heads up to the Gateway Pundit who remains on top of this.)

… Al–Qaeda informer Saajid Badat told a court last week that four to five Malaysian Islamists were planning to take control of a plane, using a shoe bomb to blow open the cockpit door. The informer told the court he had met with the Islamists in Afghanistan…..

Talk about twists and turns. Authorities are now investigating the possibility of a 911-style attack involving Flight MH370 involving Malaysian jihadists.
