If Vladimir Putin had personally ordered the shoot-down of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 last week, events could not have played into his hands more perfectly. In fact, the result has been so valuable to Putin, that it seems possible that he did take a calculated risk here and order the missile to be fired at the plane.

It wasn’t just any plane that was shot down. It was the only plane to cross the combat zone that day that was packed with Dutch nationals. On the surface, it would seem that the last thing Putin would want to do would be to create such friction between him and his biggest western trading partner.

In 1975, a paper by physicist Michael Hart inspired Enrico Fermi to ask the question: where is everybody? He asked it because of the silence of the universe around us–no radio signals, nobody coming in for a landing, indeed, nobody approaching us in anything like a conventionally understandable manner.

Now, whether you believe that extraterrestrials are here or not, a good argument can be made that, even if many of them present such an unconventional picture that we literally cannot recognize them as what they are, some, at least, should be in some sort of more conventional contact with us.

The fate of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has disappeared from the news cycle, but Malaysian police have announced that the reconstruction of data from the pilot’s flight simulator suggests that he flew it into the southern Indian Ocean and may have landed it on a runway on a small island.

If this is true, then that plane is almost certainly in the hands of well financed terrorists and represents a peril of epic proportions. Given the range of a 777–especially on that has been stripped of its seats and fitted with an atomic weapon that would be much lighter than a load of passengers, luggage and cabin equipment–the plane could reach almost any American city from a runway in central Asia or Pakistan.

The al-Qaeda-connected group ISIS (Islamic State Iraq and the Levant) have taken Mosul and Tikrit, Iraq’s second and third cities, and may well take the whole country in a matter of months. At the same time, the group is rushing captured Iraqi arms (all built right here in the USA) into Syria in an attempt to turn around the failing revolution in that country.

The US and the western powers are helpless to stop this. Additionally, it is a prelude of what will happen in Afghanistan next year or the year after. The truth is, unless we occupy the middle east, the entire region is likely to become a new fundamentalist Islamic caliphate, and it is quite likely, also, that the new caliphate will include large sections of Africa.
