Alaska Air Pilots and Crew Say
NTSB "Spin Story" is 'BS'



Notes from John Quinn & Anthony J. Hilder's Newspad


Alaska Airlines pilots and crews aren't buying into the National
Transport Safety Board bureaucrats' "cover-up story" on how AK Air's
Flight 261 went down for the final count killing all 88 aboard.

Scuttlebutt has it that employees are deeply disturbed by the fact
that the airline isn't furnishing any information to their staff
people. An inordinate amount of personnel have been absent the
first three weeks after the crash due to "emotional trauma."

"We're not buying the NTSB's Bull S..T" says one source. "The Feds
have "tossed a foul ball & we are not hitting it."

The airline's mechanics are near-unanimous in the belief that the
"air holocaust" wasn't because of any "faulty" stabilizer screw.
In the words of one mechanic with Alaska Air: "that's so much hokum."

Moreover, in talking to one employee who knew Fl. 261's pilots Bill
Tansky and Ted Thompson, they said: "They were two of our most
experienced pilots." But when asked why they headed out to sea;
turning away from the airfield at Point Mugu with its open and
immediately accessible runway, they didn't have an answer. "I just
don't know why they bypassed the runway, no one here can explain
it," our source divulged with tears in their eyes. "I was
crying for a week and I haven't been able to sleep ever since. I
knew eight of the people on board personally. They were my friends."


We know for certain that a number of the Hilder/Quinn articles were
circulating in various Alaska Airline offices around the country.
Apparently some of Alaska Air's flight attendants made copies. They
have been seen from Puerto Vallarta to Anchorage and all spots
in-between.

The articles, including, "It Defies All Logic," have been picked up
by other major websites; including Robert Sterling's
Konformist.com., Jeff Rense's Sightings , Kent Steadman's
Cyberspaceorbit.com and Doug Pooley's FlashRadar. The articles
have been seen by millions at this point.

Attorneys across the country representing those who died needlessly
in the crash have also been availed of the information and are
taking a CLOSE LOOK at what was going on at the U.S. Navy's Pt.
Mugu Weapons Testing Center on February 1st.


One of our sources at Alaska Air says: "When I came into the
employee room their were five people reading it at the same time. I
was busy and didn't have time to read it until the next day." The
source said: " One girl (a flight attendant) was concerned that we
are not being given the truth."

Our contact went on to say: "Everybody is asking why we (the
flight) didn't land at Point Mugu. They had plenty of opportunity.
But who knows what happened? They're not telling us anything."

Three weeks later, it's still "mum's the word." As to the
NTSB's "SPIN STORY," the widely-prevailing view within Alaska Air is--
"NO WAY! IT DIDN'T HAPPEN THAT WAY."

Unlikely Fl. 261 Screwed by China



All of a sudden lots of people, including writers with the Washington
Post (ALWAYS a wellspring of pure truth) and Readers' Digest, have
figured out "what really happened" to Fl. 261.

What really happened, the story goes, was that the aircraft's jackscrew
was made in China.

Okay. And?....

And that is basically THAT, as far as this explanation goes, if one
really analyzes it.

Those writers, along with other amateur sleuths AND/OR witting and
unwitting spin-doctors such as NTSB personnel, are implying, hinting and
insinuating that these jackscrew assemblies on a number of MD-80 and
related series aircraft were made in China, and were possibly "defective."

Now, let's lay some groundwork here. NewsHawk has taken a fairly
uncongenial stance towards Communist China lately, for a number of
reasons. First of all, they're a Communist country with appalling,
nauseating standards of human rights. This, naturally, goes over quite
well with the global gangsters running the U.S. and THEIR bosses in the
New World Order--for lack of a better descriptive name for that bunch.

Nevertheless, we think this latest "explanation" for something as truly
UNEXPLAINABLE in any conventional terms as the Fl. 261 disaster just
doesn't hold up.

Here's why. Some crucial factors need to be kept in mind.

First--has anybody noticed any of CHINA'S planes falling mysteriously
right out of the sky while at cruising altitude (considered the safest
portion of any flight) recently: especially JUST in the vicinity of
military facilities engaged in ultra-top-secret advanced electromagnetic
weapons research, development and testing? No? Didn't think so. Neither
have we. China's planes seem to be doing quite fine.

Well, say the hawkers of this theory--of course, the Chinese
DELIBERATELY made and sold faulty parts for OUR (McDonnell
Douglas/Boeing) jets, because they don't like Whitey and are trying to
cause jet crashes. AND, China thought this up eight years ago, when the
plane destroyed in the Fl. 261 crash was built. Their technology and
manufacturing standards AND their control/knowledge of downline product
distribution, routing and handling is so precise the Chinese can
in-build just the right amount of "defect" so these parts wipe out
several years down the line; and specifically ONLY in those parts which
end up in those planes which end up bought and operated by airline
companies in the UNITED STATES!

Wow. Pretty awesome. In fact, if this scenario were true China's top
power brokers, and/or their advisors, must literally be incredibly
PSYCHIC for this newly-materializing, second-stage FL. 261 cover story
to be correct.

As we said, awesome. And we don't buy it.

Let's ALSO keep in mind now that it's been conveyed directly to
NewsHawk, Anthony Hilder and other journalists that aircraft mechanics
with MANY airline companies find theories a stripped jackscrew/gimbal
nut assembly caused the crash to be EXTREMELY UNLIKELY; and in fact,
literally almost impossible. That is: no matter WHERE the durn thing was
made, a failure of this mechanism and resultant difficulties in
operating the horizontal stabilizer would NOT have caused the crash!

Whether the cited mechanism was made in China or Chattanooga makes no
difference. Failure of this part--an unheard-of and highly unlikely
phenomenon in the first place--would not have led to a terminally
out-of-control aircraft.


What we clearly have here is deployment of the second-level cover story
of "OFFICIAL" disinformation on the Fl. 261 crash, in our
well-considered and well-respected opinion.

This is just what occurred a couple of weeks after the EgyptAir Fl. 990
crash: when malicious, slanderous innuendoes and lies dropped like rat
excrement by NTSB and other fed front-men suggested co-pilot Gameel
El-Batouty most likely committed mass murder and suicide since he was
SUPPOSEDLY heard praying on the cockpit voice recorder; baseless,
defamatory hogwash that went over VERY POORLY with folks like NewsHawk
and of course with the Egyptian Government, EgyptAir, Batouty's family
and so on. Interestingly, just then, ANOTHER version of the events
surrounding THAT inexplicable crash began rather quietly and
unobtrusively making the rounds in mass media accounts. It was said to
be the "inside scoop" on THAT crash, and supposedly explained why feds
lied and disinformed everyone about THAT crash (as it's PROVED they
did), just as they've done about Fl. 261.

THAT second-stage fall-back story, the additional, insulating layer of
distractive disinformation ALWAYS present whenever a major covert
operation or the like is staged/implemented by the fed hounds of hell,
was geared up when loud outcries of "FOUL" greeted feds' Batouty
insinuations several weeks after THAT crash; concurrent with reports of
SIGNIFICANT indications of material evidence tampering,
cover-up/withholding of crucial relevant information and just plain
flat-out LYING by the feds ABOUT Fl. 990.

In the EgyptAir case, this next level of distractive noise, the next
red-herring, claimed that -- "well yes, darn it, feds WERE less than
forthcoming about the EXACT details of the Fl. 990 crash because...
well, you see, they were actually covering for BOEING and for the fact
Boeing had been making shoddy, non-spec aircraft: and at first, feds
kind of unthinkingly reacting by trying to cover up the information to
protect major U.S. manufacturer and defense contractor Boeing." Sort of
like doing the wrong thing (covering up facts), but doing it for a
somewhat understandable reason.

But that's NOT what caused the crash of Fl. 990. NOBODY believes that,
least of all the Egyptian government, which just LAST WEEK hired some
more investigators and experts here in the U.S. to pursue amassing
evidence the plane was in fact most likely destroyed by some kind of
hostile action.

And, after the second level of disinformation, there's a third, a
fourth, probably a fifth, and maybe even a sixth level; depending on how
well the previous cover stories have held.


And NOW we have the SAME tactics being used by feds in the AlaskaAir crash.

NOW, many professional flight personnel have OVERWHELMINGLY indicated
fed claims that Fl. 261's pilots--when experiencing a serious airborne 
emergency--ignored Pt. Mugu's ample, handy and TOTALLY capable airport
and instead turned around to fly 45 miles and land their troublesome
craft over the heads of millions of Los Angeles residents are
unthinkable, inconceivable, illogical and cannot possibly be correct

And at the same time, aircraft/airline mechanics and maintenance
personnel from many quarters have by a wide majority come down hard to
the effect that such supposed jackscrew/gimbal nut malfunctions and
supposed resultant horizontal stabilizer control problems are, again,
simply unthinkable, inconceivable, illogical and cannot possibly be correct.

In other words--the feds actually HAD NO STORY.

They need a NEW story, and now we've heard it.

Once again, this second-stage red-herring cover story SEEMS to have some
plausibility; explaining that feds WERE "sort of" covering up about the
Fl. 261 crash initially--because if they'd made the information public
it would blow the cover on how inferior the manufacturing quality of
these aircraft components made by our wonderful trade partner actually
is; it would have resulted in some substantial uproar in China and of
course for inverse reasons in this country as well, and also turmoil in
our relationship with China.

Hence, we now get the second level of disinformation hitting the
airwaves--"the jackscrew was made in China--China 'screwed' us; but we
couldn't say it; or were afraid to, or were pressured not to."

This particular tale, indeed, serves some additional domestic political
purposes. For one, it's designed to effectively "split" the "conspiracy
crowd": the feds' thinking on this being that more traditionally
ultra-right wing elements, already mad as a hatter at Red China, at her
shenanigans AND at the treasonous wholesale sellout to China on a VAST
number of issues by the inter-linked Reagan/Bush/Clinton global crime
syndicate over the past 20 years, will jump at the chance to pin this
one--the Fl. 261 crash--on an enemy they really love to hate; Red China.
(NOT that WE like Red China much!)

This "new view" on the Fl. 261 crash making the rounds is also
implementing a sub-agenda of putting some heat on China, whose
bellicosity and aggressive hostility has undeniably and understandably
become quite irritating to a wide range of people and
elements--including us.

Very clever: because this spin-story DOES tie into LEGITIMATE,
disturbing issues which NewsHawk ourselves just recently brought
up--such as: New World Order operators in upper levels of the U.S.
government have pushed through trade agreements extremely favorable to
China for years now, despite China's constant, extreme human rights
violations on a massive scale, and despite the fact China has
consistently gotten the better end of the bargain, including some very
fancy, high-tech goods and military hardware while WE'VE mostly gotten
cheap-trash junks goods which often only last about till you're done
looking at them for the first time. The Trilateralist
Reagan/Bush/Clinton whores have continued to push these trade agreements
despite clear, numerous and growing indications China is not by any
stretch of the imagination "FRIENDLY" to the U.S., our interests, our
principles or to our people. (Of course, NEITHER is OUR government, so
that's why THEY want to keep greasing the chute for China.)

Additionally, globalist elements of the federal government have engaged
in specifically treasonous behavior with regard to interactions with Red 
China.

Nevertheless, that's NOT THE ISSUE with the Fl. 261 crash.

What's more; not everything made in China is cheap junk and, as we said,
THEIR planes certainly aren't falling inexplicably out of the sky at a
steadily-increasing rate lately, and China sure makes their OWN
jackscrews and gimbal nuts.

As best as we can determine at this point, the emerging "INSIDE SCOOP"
on the Fl. 261 crash, claiming "defective," Chinese-made parts were
directly responsible for the tragic disaster, is HOT AIR, CHATTER and LIES.

No matter WHERE those parts were originally made, they had to
subsequently pass rigorous, STRINGENT inspections and testing procedures
by McDonnell Douglas and later by Boeing before and after being
incorporated into the aircraft. If the parts met spec, that's that.

And they did.

So TOUGH LUCK, feds. Time to dust off your THIRD-stage disinfo
cover-story and try THAT one.
