Why are they still looking? July 30, 2015 3:30 pm ER

I learned something interesting today. During a news report on that debris from the Indonesian airliner that washed up on Reunion Island, it was revealed that there was still a massive effort underway in Australia to try and locate wreckage on the ocean bottom west of Australia. This is one of the most remote and inaccessible areas on the planet, water miles deep covering a mountain range as high as the Rockies. And it is not on the way to or from anywhere.

Why? Its unlikely they’ll find anything, and if they do, its unlikely it will shed any light onto why the plane was lost. I don’t buy the official excuse that its a “humanitarian effort” to bring “closure” to the survivors. Bull! The search has cost about $200 million so far. I’m no conspiracy theorist, but something is going on they’re not telling us. Our allies down under can’t afford that kind of spending for purely humanitarian reasons. This is cover for something else.

There is some kind of military or espionage or economic motive behind this, or they’re doing some kind of training exercise disguised as a salvage operation. And I bet the USA is picking up part or all of the tab. One wild guess: this is where you’d expect the Iranians to test their nuclear bombs. You can’t have credible nukes until you complete a test program, and this is the same general part of the world where it is rumored the Israelis tested theirs.
