Reading The Signs - Is something about to "Nose Dive"?

[Joe]

As you know, Signs of the Times is all about reading between the lines, seeing the unseen and keeping an open mind for symbolism.

Yesterday and today there were two very similar incidents that caught our attention.

One in Japan:

Japan plane lands without nose gear

Airline grounds fleet after Japan mishap

All Nippon Airways grounded its entire fleet of Bombardier planes after the front landing gear on one failed to descend, forcing the aircraft to make an emergency landing with 60 people on board.

No one was injured when the Bombardier DHC-8 turboprop landed on its rear wheels and then carefully touched its nose to the runway.

Another in Dubai

Plane Malfunction Closes Dubai Airport

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- The wheel of a Bangladesh airliner malfunctioned during take off Monday, and the plane's nose and engines slammed into the ground. Fourteen passengers were injured and the Middle East's busiest airport closed for eight hours.

Biman Bangladesh Airlines Flight 006 was accelerating down the runway at 6:30 a.m. when the wheel malfunctioned, airport officials said.

The 236 passengers and crew were evacuated and the injured were taken to hospitals, the officials said. All injuries were said to be minor.

So basically, two planes "nose-dived".

Over the past few years we have noticed clumps of events involving planes, and that very often they preceded some significant event, or happened at a time and in such a way that they could be interpreted as something signalling the world to "wake up!"

Anyway, in the current climate, when we think of "nose-diving", we think of the economy. It is also very interesting that the countries in which the planes nose-dived were Japan - the long time "NeoLiberal economic model" for the world, and Dubai - the drug, people and gun-running playground of the CIA and Mossad, not to mention a US client state that is spending money like there is no tomorrow and currently hosting 20% of ALL the construction cranes in the world.

Also, Haliburton recently announced that it was relocating to Dubai, and of course there was last week's big stock market slump in China and the US.

All in all, we find it pretty interesting. Time to sit up and take notice?

I seem to recall that the Halfpasthuman is saying that the "Ides of March" is the beginning of a huge release period. And look at the US stock market today. Down nearly 2%.
There's also a rumor that a UK hedge fund is about to go under.

What about Dubya? Are his ratings going to nosedive or is he otherwise going to take a hit from somewhere to cause his credibility to shatter with the MSM? I also thought of the economy. It's been hanging by a thread for what, over a year now? Something's got to give.

Plane Crash Lands in Des Moines

A single-engine plane made a crash-landing Monday night at the Des Moines International Airport after its landing gear malfunctioned.

Airport spokesman Roy Criss said the plane made a "belly-landing' about 9 p.m. He says there were no injuries to the pilot or a male minor traveling with him.

The runway the plane landed on is closed while officials
investigate.

2 Helicopters crash in Kauai, Hawaii exactly 3 days apart!

http(css)gohawaii(d)about(d)com/od/kauaiactivities/a/copter_safety.htm

In the course of three days, two helicopter crashes have occurred on the island of Kauai. On Thursday, March 8, 2007, a Heli USA Airways helicopter crashed at the Princeville Airport killing four, including the pilot, and injuring three others. On Sunday, March 11, 2007, an Inter-Island helicopter crashed while attempting to make an emergency landing near Haena, also on Kauai's North Shore. One fatality and four injuries are reported in the second crash.

So this adds a new twist to the plane story if there is a connection, and this 2 chopper thing is rare (duh):
http(css)www(d)kauaiworld(d)com/articles/2007/03/13/news/news01.txt

In his 11 years of experience, [Brian Rayner, lead investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board,] said he has witnessed only one other instance in which two accidents occurred as closely together. “But it’s very uncommon,� he said.

http(css)www(d)honoluluadvertiser(d)com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070314/NEWS01/703140414/1190/NEWS

None of the crashes of the helicopters alternatively known as Hughes or McDonnell Douglas 369s or 500s involved in-air collisions with birds — one of the causes suggested as possible in the Ha'ena crash.

And the top article also mentioned this:

An FAA statement issued following the Inter-Island helicopter crash states that "the pilot reported hearing a loud bang and lost control of the aircraft."

What was this bang? Was it a mechanical issue with a helicopter, was it impact with a bird, or something else?
The C's said that an electromagnetic pulse was responsible for the Shuttle Disaster in 2003 before Iraq's war:

Q: One of the first questions we want to ask tonight is about the event of the Space Shuttle that was lost. First, was it an explosion, or was it just disintegration, or breaking up?
A: It was a "direct hit."
Q: A direct hit by what?
A: EM pulse.
Q: (S) What was the source of the EM pulse?
A: 3/4th density Consortium.
Q: Well, I thought Bush was a puppet of the Consortium? (A) Well, we know that the military are scrambling planes to go after UFOs...there are even reports of firing on them and there have been reports of military jets being disintegrated by UFOs. The UFOs are, somehow, in cahoots with the consortium. It seems that Bush and the gang are not in control of the Consortium and maybe they needed to be "reminded?"
A: It is not so much that he needs to be reminded, as he needs to be stimulated to react.
Q: (L) You once before said that Bush knows very little anyway - or that the "White House" level is pretty much in the dark about the plans of the Consortium - even if they are carrying them out. So, you are suggesting that they are being driven by forces of which they are unaware and do not understand?
A: Exactly. Bush is a "reaction machine."
Q: (L) Okay, you say that an EM pulse brought down the shuttle. (A) Where did the EM pulse come from?
A: From space based satellite.
Q: (A) Does NASA know about the cause?
A: There are some who suspect.
Q: (L) Which explains why they are so anxious to convince everyone that it was NOT sabotage. Like Wellstone's death, there was "no question" about it being a terrorist attack. The likelihood is that the Bush Junta was behind Wellstone's death. In both cases they "know" the cause and want to divert the attention away from it. But, in the case of the shuttle, they aren't "dirty," but they most definitely do NOT want anyone to realize that they also are not "in charge." It makes me think of the remark the C's made a few years ago about the reason for the Military Industrial Complex build-up and manipulations. C's said that the REAL enemy is "out there" and that war was just a "cover" to prevent the masses from realizing what they were really doing. Maybe Bush and the gang are really convinced, in their own minds, that they are acting to "protect" humanity from this threat. Meanwhile, they are simply being drivent to fulfill the agenda of the Consortium. And it is so interesting that the shuttle broke up over Palestine, Texas... as though it was saying to Bush: this is what is going to happen to you: Palestine is going to be your destruction. But, of course, Bush would be incapable of perceiving it in that context. Is it so that a message was intended in this event?
A: As always, confusion is the mask.
Q: (L) In other words, everyone's reaction to the event will depend on their own context. There is the view that it was a "message to Bush." Bush and gang will, of course, see it only as a stimulus to faster and more "decisive" military action. So, it will really work on them the way it is wanted. (A) And of course, we wonder how they will make use of this event.
A: The primary effect among the masses will be shock, thus making them less resistant to Bush's policies. Still other groups will see the clear threat to Bush and Co. from their activities. Bush and Co. will, of course, seek to capitalize on the event even while remaining in the dark as to its meaning. But there most certainly is awareness among them that there is a "Maverick" element loose. Bush has even "felt" a bit of primal fear in respect of this event.

Witnesses described how they heard a loud bang before Columbia broke up. 'I could see two bright objects flying off each side of it,' said Gary Hunzike, a local man. 'I just assumed they were chase jets.'

And is there a connection between the 2 planes and the 2 choppers? Or how about the Columbia Shuttle disaster and these crashes? What I'm wondering is, if there is a connection and it was "Consortium" interference, and the shuttle disaster was followed by Iraq war, would this be any further indication that these current crashes are also gonna be followed by something big? Obviously there may be lots of reasons for a "loud bang", but nevertheless, makes me wonder.

A curious confluence of dates:

…Halfpasthuman is saying that the "Ides of March" is the beginning of a huge release period

SoTT Economic Commentary for 5 March 2007

…the actual visible signs of the roll will be apparent on February 27, 2007... The coming period of 8/eight days leading up to the Ides of March release period will also be presenting more [visible] (manifestations) of financial crumbling,[…]

In the Roman calendar, the Ides of March fell on the 15th day of the Roman month of Martius. The date is famous because Julius Caesar was assassinated on the Ides of March, 44 BC.

The symbolic ‘end of empire’?

In ancient Rome, [the month of] March was called Martius, so named after Mars, the Roman god of war.

In The Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophes, Firestone, West and Warwick-Smith calculate the actual date of the impact Event 13,000 years ago. They write:

Using star charts from NASA, we found that, amazingly, there are only a few weeks every year when Geminga would have risen over the northeastern horizon in that area 13,000 years ago. It happened only between about 11.00am and 1.00pm for a few days before or after March 15 in late winter[…].

Asian, European stocks plunge

Associated Press
Wed, 14 Mar 2007 09:23 EDT

TOKYO - Asian stocks plunged Wednesday and European shares opened sharply lower after Wall Street chalked its second-biggest point drop in four years and rattled already nervous markets worldwide.

The tumble came just as international markets were recovering in recent days from sharp declines in early March amid concerns about overvalued stock prices and slower U.S. economic growth.

But those worries resurfaced as troubles at U.S. sub-prime lenders and lackluster retail sales pushed the Dow Jones industrials down nearly 2 percent Tuesday, sparking selloffs across Asia.

Speaking of 'odd words' and 'connections' popping up (it just gets me thinking of 'programming' of some sort.. Greenbauming perhaps?)

Israeli television airs footage of Iraqi nuclear reactor's bombing

JERUSALEM, April 18 (AFP) Apr 18, 2007
Israeli television on Wednesday aired for the first time footage of a bombing on an Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1981 and minute preparations leading up to the widely condemned attack.
The 90-minute film directed by Nir Toyb showed how the Israeli secret service and the army planned the attack and prepared the pilots for any eventuality and the actual June 7 1981 raid on the Tammouz reactor, west of Baghdad.

Eight F-16 US fighter jets were used in the attack and the pilots were trained for low-altitude flights in secret in Cyprus and the Red Sea.

Tammouz was beleived to be key to an Iraqi nuclear bomb programme. The first Israeli bomb dropped weighed 900 kilograms.

The youngest of the pilots in the operation, Ilan Ramon, died in February 2003 when the Columbia space shuttle disintegrated.

The Israeli attack drew wide international condemnation. It was severely criticised by the United States and in the UN Security Council.

Who knew that the youngest pilot on that particular mission was on board Columbia when it got zapped from space and broke up over Palestine? Things seem to be getting slightly weird, or is it just me? This one was on spankiewire and sent them into the usual paroxysmal outbursts. Their language seems to be getting worse too. Perhaps a signs of desperation and knowledge that 'their time has come'...?

SOTT knew and reported on it at the time.

That's nice, I'm glad they were aware of it! :)

Still, I'm always curious about mainstream media 'releases'. It looked a little like strange programming to me. But then, what would I know... :D

I'm curious... the 'adventures' of Columbia, never really took off. I was just wondering why.
