US Bombs Island Non-Stop 20 Hours, Hides MH370 Passengers

Hawaii has been bombed non-stop for 20 hours by two B-2 “Batwing” Stealth Bombers and two B-52 Stratofortress bombers in a low-flying Global Strike mission and experts have warned to expect more in a new Cold War era. This era, including United States’ and allies’ endless budgets for weapon testing and black budgets for disappearing humans into black sites, has reached a new level over the past four weeks. 

As the Pentagon refuses to reveal whereabouts of 239 passengers, who boarded a Malaysia Airlines Boeing on March 7, the US war machine also flexed its muscles in Hawaii. It flew two B-2 “Batwing” Stealth Bombers and two B-52 Stratofortress bombers out of Louisiana and Missouri to bomb the 133,000-acre Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA) in the middle of Hawaii Islandearl last week.

The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Saturday that the war planes dropped 14 inert practice bombs: eight 500 pound BDU-50s by the B-52s and six 2,000 pound BDU-56s by the B-2s.

“But not a word in the Hawaii Tribune-Herald and West Hawaii Today, the 2 daily newspapers on the island bombed,” reported Jim Albertini for the Malu `Aina Center for Non-violent Education and Action, then asking, “How come? It’s not every day bombers fly 20 hour round-trips and spend nearly a million dollars in fuel to bomb PTA.” 

‘These same Big Island dailies regularly run pro-military propaganda stories written by the military touting things like school kids visiting PTA (without of course ever mentioning the kids possible exposure to depleted uranium at the contaminated base), so why not a story on our island being bombed by 2 B-52s from Barksdale A.F.B. in Louisiana and 2 B-2s from Whiteman A.F.B. in Missouri? Go figure!’

According to the Air Force, the bombing was a coordinated range operation that included low approach training.

“Training for what?” the peace action centre asks. “A bunker buster attack on Iran, Syria, Russia, North Korea? 

The Global Strike mission to the Hawaiian range came a few days after Russia’s announcement to base its Tu-22M Backfire strategic bombers to Crimea, reported David Cencotti for the Aviationist.

‘The strategic bombers flew a non-stop for more than 20 hours and covered about 8,000 miles from their home stations to drop ordnance against target located inside Hawaii’s Pohakuloa military weapon range.”

Jane’s Defense Weekly reported that a Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) spokesman told the Interfax news agency on that it planned to establish a “missile-carrying regiment” on the Crimea near its capital, Simferopol. In a matter of a couple of years the Russian Air Force plans to have a base for a missile-carrying regiment of Tu-22M3 in the Black Sea.

“The need for [the Tu-22M3s] in the southern direction was always there, but now there are just the right conditions for them to return to the Crimea, which used to be called an unsinkable aircraft carrier,” said the spokesman according to IHS Jane’s Defence Weekly.

“Just the cost of fuel alone used in these bombing missions could have fed a lot of hungry people,” the peace centre group says.

Rather than being concerned about needs of humans, however, as the Aviationist warns that America, in a “new Cold War is gearing up and Global Strike mission could soon become even more frequent.”

Meanwhile, in the new Cold War era, on another island, Diego Garcia, the Pentagon just cancelled leave for soldiers based there.

Two Malaysia officials have separately admitted that the MH370 missing plane has been hijacked, while one pointed to the Pentagon for the crime, including keeping the passengers hostage.
