This is probably the most interesting article I've read in a long time.

It is about MH370 and how the author believes it was a pilot suicide. It is a long article, but worth it. The whole thing is creepy as hell. For those quarantined, this might be a good way to kill time.
The same author also wrote one on the Egypt Air crash of 1999, and came to similar conclusions.

These articles are relevant to COVID because they show how certain govts react to tragedy. China has been secretive about this CoVID shit and misleading. That is their nature. Likewise, if you read these two articles you can see the similarities of how Egypt and Malaysia handled catastrophes. They don;t want to embarass themselves, so they continue to construct lie after lie.
Anyway, both these longform articles are great, and this is coming from a guy who loathes journalists in general. Well worth your time if you are halfway interested.

I would not argue with that. Same as school shooters and other mass-murder-suicides. They're giving the biggest middle finger to the world that they can manage. If you gave one of those guys a nuke, he'd set it off in Manhattan.heydaralon wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 11:47 amWhat an asshole way to go out.

In most of these autocratic countries if you piss off the govt you'll wind up fired from the job, jailed, or dead.
In China you have the added option of becoming an "organ donor" before death.

Its weird how many Falun Gong members are organ donors. What is cool for the Chinese government is that this dissident group they hate also opted to donate their organs to the party. Talk about a lucky break!
Thank god we live in a country where academia, the media, and our ruling class has no problem with folks speaking their mind! If you are a conservative or Christian, you are welcomed with open arms by College professors and HR departments. Its awesome!
