If You Can't Beat 'em Ban 'em!

 

Breaking news! France has just done the unthinkable, yet inevitable. It has made a political prisoner out one of its most senior and longest sitting statespeople. No, this is not an April fool joke. Marine Le Pen, many times presidential candidate and leader of the biggest party in the French parliament, has been convicted of embezzlement of EU funds which for politicians is a bit like slapping somebody with a speeding fine at the French Grand Prix. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy0ylgjew1xo. Like Boris Johnson, her prosecution was selective and has an underlying political motive, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2022/07/why-did-boris-fail.html. The same goes for Donald Trump, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2023/04/trump-in-court-livestream.html. I predicted this would happen after the elections last year. It left the country with a terrible political crisis and I said back then that they would put it on hold until the Paris Olympics were over; and then all hell would break loose, and it did, see: https://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2024/12/third-rail-radio-programme-194.html. Where they failed with Trump they have succeeded with Le Pen. She has been sentenced to four years in prison with two suspended. So far she has not yet been locked up, pending an appeal; but she is banned from standing in elections for public office for five years, and that is probably the objective of the prosecution. What will happen now? Ironically, like with Trump, her martyrdom will probably add to her popularity. At the same time we must remember that France is a very different kind of political society to Britain. The French do not stop for tea and play games of cricket; they have revolutions instead. France is naturally a very unstable nation. In the background links I describe other aspects that might give clues to what the next outcome might be once the dust settles from this bombshell. Time will tell how this crisis will develop.

Malaysia has NOT Signed!

 

See here for essential background: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/03/malaysia-signs.html.
I must make an urgent correction to the background article posted above. It turns out that rumours of Malaysia signing the contract with Ocean Infinity were greatly exaggerated. How this mix-up happened I cannot imagine. How was it the families group got told the news with such certainty, on headed paper etc? To be honest, I felt a niggling doubt from the start. The fact that it was not done with a public ceremony and that OI would not confirm it was a bit dodgy. The new latest release also does not refer to a time limit for the search period. It could be that the families simply misunderstood an older press release. I don't know why there is so much confusion following Malaysia's originally very positive stance on OI's project. They were quite happy with OI's proposal for an eighteen month period in which the company would be paid £70 million IF the search yielded significant new forensic evidence, ie wreckage from MH370. Oliver Plunkett, the CEO of Ocean Infinity describes MH370 as "unfinished business" and clearly feels very passionate about it on a personal level. He has put in a lot of emotional commitment to this search. Last night Armada 7806 ended the bathymetric survey of the Blelly-Marchand hotspot. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RssJOP0pbro.

At the same time this update broke, Armada 7806 turned north and began steaming with all dispatch. At first the ship tracker followers thought she might be heading for a new search area, but then her destination statement changed to Singapore, which is the ship's home port. She had enough fuel and victuals for a further six days of operations, so the search team ended it early. The fact that the ship is heading for Singapore and not Fremantle is a bad sign. It indicates that their mission has been aborted. We don't know why this has happened or what the future plans are because neither OI nor Malaysia has made any further statements. We'll have to wait and see; but really if nothing is done in the next couple weeks then it looks like a total cancellation of the search for MH370. By late April or early May the weather in that part of the Indian Ocean tends to get very bad so making searches impossible. It won't improve again until November. Jeff Wise thinks that Armada 7806 is too small for the task anyway, and it lacks the range and facility for mass AUV deployment. I can't help wondering if deep down a lot of people in control of this situation are well aware that the plane really is not at the bottom of the Indian Ocean. There's clearly a lot of conflict between Jeff and the remainder of the Independent Group. I know Jeff does not believe in WSPR, but the issue goes beyond that and gets quite personal. He implies that Richard Godfrey is some kind of shill. Jeff suspects Godfrey has committed stolen valour related to his past qualifications in the space programme. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHZOn0xF858. I don't know once way or the other, but I am well aware that, generally speaking, when two people in the Conspirasphere fall out they will usually accuse each other of being a government patsy. One thing Jeff has confirmed as true is that Richard Godfrey did work for Marconi is the early 1970's. Luckily he had left by the time the infamous suicide epidemic broke out, see here for details: https://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2022/04/programme-460-falklands-war-40_14.html and: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2022/06/falklands-war-40th-anniversary.html. This may not be the end of the story. Ocean Infinity may choose to return in the southern spring and continue the operation from where they left off; but that is months away, and all this political toing and froing must be terribly frustrating and upsetting for the MH370 families.

Malaysia Signs

 

The government of Malaysia has finally signed its agreement with Ocean Infinity in their quest to find MH370. Even though the government have yet to comment officially, the families' organization has published a letter with a Malaysian government header stating the signing has been done privately. Normally there is a public ceremony with a press contingent for things like this. What took them so long? OI offered them a no-find-no-fee deal; it is a no-brainer. What was left to negotiate? Still, Malaysia dithered, looking the gift horse in the mouth for weeks on end. Perhaps there are bureaucrats in Kuala Lumpur who don't want the wreck to be found for political reasons; even the obvious ones, like their conflict with China. This doesn't include some of the more arcane elements that I'm sure some Malaysians are only too aware of. Still, Malaysia started to come across like one of those annoying people at the front of a checkout queue at the grocers saying: "I'll sign this cheque in a moment... honest." All this time Armada 7806 was diligently doing its job. It refuelled in Fremantle and headed back out to the search area. At the time of writing it has almost completed its bathymetric survey of the Blelly-Marchand hotspot. This is not the search as such, it is simply building a detailed map of the seabed in the area for which the search is planned. Later in the week it will be running low of fuel and supplies, and have to return to port again. Perhaps now the contract is signed OI will be able to commit more resources to the project; so Armada will be joined by more vessels with more AUV's and personnel. So far the sole ship has been carrying out a standard coverage pattern, not stopping in one place for long periods, which makes it clear it has not found anything of interest yet.

I'm still watching Richard Godfrey and Geoffrey Thomas' daily bulletins, but I sometime do find those two quite tiresome. They are staunchly "anti-conspiracy theory" which is a nonsensical statement because all of MH37-tology is by its very definition a conspiracy theory. What they actually mean is they think their own conspiracy theory is right because it's based on the official story and Richard's WSPR technology. Their antipathy for Jeff Wise is palpable. They also made a video which included a letter they received from a Boeing engineer who described his revulsion towards the "grifters!" who spread "nonsense!" about the missing aircraft; not caring about the "pain!" they inflict on the "families!" This is a dishonest and snide manoeuvre that I'm all too familiar with, see: https://hpanwo-bb.blogspot.com/2009/01/show-some-respect.html. I don't need to add anything else to the comment I left on the video: "That rather mawkish and conniving letter from Mr York is illogical as well as unfair. Is he going to go up to a police detective investigating a murder and call the detective a "shameless grifter" because he earns a police salary? Right now we don't know for sure that Jeff Wise or Ashton Forbes are wrong. They might be right. In the absence of information a lot of differing ideas emerge. I was hoping we could be adult about this and disagree with others without making slurs against their character and dark assumptions about their motives. Mr York does not OWN the 239. He is not their officially appointed mourner. Nobody is showing respect and sensitivity to their loved ones by keeping quiet about information or trying to moral blackmail others into doing the same." Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX2Xd9xx6Vc. On the subject of Ashton Forbes and Jeff Wise, their work means that there is an important alternative because it might exonerate the MH370 senior pilot Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah. Never before in history has one man been so demonized by so many based on so little evidence. Richard and Geoffrey think its likely Shah was to blame. In a way it is understandable, if you believe the official story. As senior pilot in a situation with such a huge element of mystery he will inevitably be a prime suspect. However, the only real evidence against him is the Flight Sim file. Richard and Geoffrey think it's suspicious he deleted it. Why? His PC will not have infinite storage space. I sometimes play MS Flight Simulator and I delete old scenarios all the time to save disk space. There were no other odd elements to Shah's behaviour. He was acting normally at home just before leaving for work. Earlier in the day he did his usual charity job delivering meals on wheels. He left no note or manifesto. Clearly if Jeff or Ashton are correct; and I've come down more on the side of Ashton, then its totally likely Capt. Shah had nothing to do with his aircraft's disappearance. He may have fought hard to stop the plane being taken or destroyed. We'll have to wait and see what happens next.

Online Safety Act goes Live

 

The above is what you will see if you try to access the Kiwi Farms website from the UK. This is because the "Online Safety Act 2023" is now law. Starting off as the "Online Harms Bill" this monstrosity has been grinding its way through Parliament for several years. It was blocked by the House of Lords over the "legal but still harmful" clause; but I knew they wouldn't give up. (I won't hear a word against the House of Lords, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/09/the-starmerlution-continues.html!) As I predicted, the rise of Starmer would lead to a rereading of the bill and it did. They've changed the name, but it still has the same basic message and the same effect. Obviously the government don't give a toss about the public's safety or any harms we might come to. This is simply their excuse; they could hardly admit the truth and call it the "Internet Censorship Act" could they? The act compels online platform to accept a duty of care in which they take personal responsibility for content posted by their users and will face a massive fine if it breaches a set of parameters under the headings of: "child sexual abuse, controlling or coercive behaviour, extreme sexual violence, extreme pornography, fraud, racially or religiously aggravated public order offences, inciting violence, illegal immigration and people smuggling, promoting or facilitating suicide, intimate image abuse, selling illegal drugs or weapons, sexual exploitation, foreign interference, terrorism, hate offences." What strikes me about that list is that most of what is on it is already illegal and there are already laws in place to deal with them. The exceptions being "intimate image abuse" which I take it means what is known as "revenge porn", publishing private images of somebody during a miscarriage of romance which were meant to be kept secret. As for "illegal immigration and people smuggling", the government themselves are the worst offenders of that. And what does "foreign interference" refer to? Russians I assume; but they are already being blamed for everything anyhow. The key point is "hate offences" because, as we've seen, that could mean almost anything. I've seen very benign phrases such as "white people are not evil" being designated as hate speech. The emphasis on protecting children has been repeated again and again throughout the media, for example it's in the title of this BBC article: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-68225707. If the government gave a damn about children it would do something about the nonces in its own ranks. Obviously this is meant to head off any dissent at the pass with moral blackmail: "What? You oppose this? Don't you care about children then?"

It's telling that the big social media companies have been behaving for many years now as if this law were already in place. I myself have fallen foul of it, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2020/08/video-banned.html and: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2022/08/you-know-what-portal-banned.html. It's as if somebody had a word in their ear to say: "Hang in there. This will all be in black-and-white soon." OFCOM will not use this law to keep anybody safe. It will be applied selectively to silence outspoken critics of government activities. So far no perverts have been arrested or shut down. All that has happened it that forums for cycling and hamster keepers have had to close; I kid you not! Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STi8t2OWkr0. This could affect HPANWO. Certainly I am the kind of user who threatens official narratives. I'm not sure how I would access websites in such a scenario. Logging in normally identifies my location in the world. I hope there is a way round that or else I won't be able to add new content to my alt-tech pages, Substack, Minds, Odysee etc. The good news is we still have our beloved alt-techies who are the best in the world; and they now include Elon Musk. He is opposing this, as is Andrew Torba of Gab, see: https://x.com/BasedTorba/status/1904947417637634176. Sites filtered off the UK web can still be seen using a VPN; I find the Tor browser a very good option. I expect there will be some way to remain a content creator even under this tyranny. I'll continue in any way I can. This is an IT arms race and the bad guys have made an advancement, but the good guys will catch up.

Spiral in the Sky

Yesterday evening there was an info explosion on social media about a strange apparition being reported in the sky. Photographs and descriptions flooded the cyberways, including the one above. The phenomenon looks slightly different depending on the location and probably the type of camera used, but all of them depict a glowing two-barred spiral object. It was visible from most of the British Isles and a few other places in Western Europe. It appeared just before 8 PM and lasted a few minutes; then it faded. People near where I live reported it, but I unfortunately never saw it myself. I was inside. My first thought was that it resembled the Norway Spiral a similar phenomenon that appeared above Norway 2009, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyWrxY15s6Y. There are other examples from around the world; Africa, China etc. It took a few hours, but the mainstream news eventually began reporting on it. The prevailing explanation for the phenomenon is that it was caused when a SpaceX rocket stage began venting excess fuel which froze solid in the coldness of the upper atmosphere. It glowed because of sun and moonlight hitting the ice crystals. Source: https://www.gbnews.com/science/glowing-spiral-white-spinning-orb-uk-sky-met-office. The spiral pattern is caused by the movement of the reusable rocket as it returns to its launch pad on earth. This explanation was provided by the Met Office alone; at the time of writing SpaceX have yet to comment. There was a launch a few hours earlier. A Falcon 9 rocket blasted off on a classified government contracted mission; my guess is to deploy a reconnaissance satellite. Source: https://spaceflightnow.com/2025/03/24/live-coverage-spacex-to-launch-national-security-satellite-for-nro-on-falcon-9-rocket-from-cape-canaveral/.

This theory has been elevated to the status of fact instantaneously. Actually all the skeptics I know on social media were speculating in the same fashion even though they had no information at all. This is a typical example of the "clown's day off" fallacy, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2022/10/calvine-clowns-day-off.html. I'm quite surprised that there is no reference at all to the possibility of this spectacle before the spiral actually appeared. This is uncharacteristic for SpaceX. Generally Elon never misses an opportunity to draw public attention to his products. This was the wonder of the Starlink satellites. Being able to see something artificial in space from the earth's surface is a rare treat. Oddly enough there was a similar cover story for the Norway Spiral. It was apparently a missile test that went wrong. Russia launched a Buleva ballistic missile from a submarine in the Barents Sea, without a warhead of course, and its engine failed causing the missile to go into a tailspin. The spiral was caused by its exhaust flying out from the rotating rocket engine in an effect similar to a Catherine wheel firework. Some time later more information emerged that showed that a missile failure could not possibly have produced that effect. If these spirals are not rockets then what are they? I don't know. Some people have claimed that they are "portals", the entrances or exits of wormholes in spacetime. These either form naturally or can be generated synthetically by advanced technology in the hands of an extraterrestrial, or extra-dimensional, civilization. As outlandish as that sounds, some dedicated researchers have gathered evidence for it, see: https://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2022/05/programme-464-podcast-dave-altman-and.html. Whether this spiral can be included in this area of research is more than I know or anybody knows. Certainly I've seen nobody yet claiming that flying saucers dropped out of the spiral. I'm just kicking myself for being cosied up indoors at the time and not catching it myself. Maybe next time I'll be luckier.
