The Cunning Passageways of TWA Flight 800: An Unauthorized History Bookmark and Share
by Christopher S. Carson (July 2010)


Six months ago, authorities seized a cargo plane in Bangkok that contained 35 tons of North Korean military weapons. These included versions of the Chinese HN-5 “man-portable air defense system,” or MANPADS. The MANPADS were being shipped to Iran. The HN-5 — a copy of the Soviet SA-7— is less capable than the MANPADS Iran produces on its own. Why, you ask, would Iran be importing more primitive missiles than the ones it already makes? The only conceivable answer is that Iran was planning to provide North Korean missiles to Iran’s proxy terrorist groups, to gain plausible deniability in case the missiles were ever used or grabbed. In other words, Iran is now in the business of fronting MANPADS from a variety of sources to Hezbollah, the Islamic Courts Union of Somalia, al Shabaab, the Taliban, and apparently al Qaeda.  more>>>

This is an excellent and important article.

I remember the aftermath of this horrible event well. I remember the eye-witnesses attesting to the fact that they say missile tracks shooting UP from the ground towards the aircraft, and the aircraft exploding. When I heard this and validated their comments I knew exactly what this event of mass murder and barbarism was about - the author makes the case quite convincingly.

The denial and obfuscation game that we played on this case almost since the beginning that it was NOT a terror attack is a dishonor to our lost countrymen and friends on that airplane.

When will people get the message that our desire to be tolerant, and our active tolerance is not enough? When we are tolerant with barbaric, hateful, evil people who have no interest in tolerance for us, and have no concept of mutual respect or the Golden Rule, we cannot ever have successful co-existence or peace; we can only have continuing horrors such as this one and defeat.

Thank you for writing this piece, well done.

Carson, does your wife know you cheat on her, regularly?  Is she aware of exactly how many of your clients you sleep with.  I've got the proof baby, and her contact.  I wonder if the Wisconsin Bar would be interested in what I have as well.  You could lose everything, potentially.  That would be a damn shame, wouldn't it?

Been following this on and off for years.  Great story, and a great cover-up by the government.  If people only knew.

All those independent eye-witness reports by people who had neither motive nor opportunity to collaborate with each other prove beyond reasonable doubt that Flight 800 was brought down by a rocket-propelled missile.  Yet the official investigation came up with an explanation requiring one to believe that those witnesses were either lying or deluded!  Something is obviously rotten in the state of Denmark.
