Why is Malaysia so prominently connected with the US news media lately.. . . i.e. this story and the two Malaysia plane crashe/disappearances? What’s going on that I seem to be missing?
. . .
I’m starting to wonder the same thing, Cath. Maybe they got too close in investigating the truth of what happened and were killed for it.
Yes, makes you wonder what they knew.
If they were anyone’s government officials, I’m glad they’re dead.
Yes, this was obviously a means of silencing someone, but if they worked for anyone’s government, they got what they deserved, and the people who blew up the helicopter will get theirs too.
Let them kill each other, and enjoy the show, because that’s exactly what they’re trying to do to us.
It reminds me of this story.
