Episode 187 – Crashes of Convenience: KAL 007

by | May 21, 2011 | Episodes, Podcasts | 11 comments

On September 1, 1983, Korean Airlines Flight 007 was shot down by a Soviet fighter interceptor as it crossed through Soviet air space. But what was it doing so far off course, flying over Soviet military installations the day of a secret missile test? What happened to the bodies? And what does all of this have to do with Larry McDonald, the sitting US congressman who was on the flight and warning America about the coming of the New World Order? Find out this week on The Corbett Report.

  1. Great episode of the podcast. I don’t know if it would be possible but this Episode 187 – Crashes of Convenience: KAL 007 is one that I would very much like to see made into video format and added to Corbett Report Extras.

    • Around the Week of March 11, 2019 Monday

      For the record…
      Episode 187 – Crashes of Convenience: KAL 007 (circa 2011) is now released in VIDEO format (probably thanks to Broc).

      TIMELY REPOST because headlines this week are about…
      Boeing shares, vanguard of the Dow, hit hard after second 737 MAX crash
      https://www.reuters.com/article/us-boeing-stocks-idUSKBN1QS0WO

      EXCERPTS
      Boeing Co shares tumbled more than 5 percent on Monday after China, Indonesia and Ethiopia ordered airlines to ground the aircraft maker’s best-selling line of jets after the second deadly crash of one of the planes in just five months…

      …The volatility followed Sunday’s crash of a Nairobi-bound Boeing 737 MAX 8 operated by Ethiopian Airlines just minutes after takeoff from the country’s capital Addis Ababa, killing all 157 on board. The same model, flown by Lion Air, crashed off the coast of Indonesia in October, killing all 189 on board.

      The single-aisle 737, the world’s most-sold commercial aircraft, is central to Boeing’s future. The MAX line is the fastest-selling jetliner in the company’s history with more than 5,000 orders booked and a backlog valued at nearly $500 billion at list prices….

      • Homey, Have you noticed Reuters articles are always accompanied by lots of pop-up adds. With laser precision on target for all the interests I’ve shown any topic in the last year.
        Pack your bags , alphaflightguru.com has offered a 70% discount on 1st class tickets to Croatia. We can visit MKEY and I can buy you all that German purity law beer you all deserve. Heck the money I’ll save on tickets we can rent a luxury car, 3 bedroom VRBO Villa and gamble like crazy at any small, medium or large city in the country for 2 weeks. Hope we don’t board any 727’s anywhere along the way.

        • Ha!
          I am impressed! Great script.
          You hit the nail on the head with the pop-up ads, covering those keywords: flying, Croatia, German beer, gambling….

          Well, today you and I both are getting some thunderstorms this morning, followed by a windy afternoon.
          Down here in Texas, I think Spring is here and we saw our last freeze a week ago. Gonna try to plant stuff when things dry out.

  2. Fascinating episode, I vaguely remenber this incident. Larry McDonald definately was an intelligent disruptive rising influence. This immediately brought to mind Commerce Sec. Ron Brown’s crash of convenience. My friend’s father,Boeing Pres. of Commercial Ron Woodard was the only person to miss this flight that crashed into a Sebian mountain. The local news said he was dead. Within a few months after making the largest commercial sale in US hist to Continental Airlines and he was fired(fall guy, as the other 2 kept jobs $) for a deal where the top 3 execs accepted money on the side of a deal, Apparently they were in Bosnia making a deal to the Goverment for military & goverment official use planes, he said he was tired and had over-slept and missed the flight. There were alot of interesting characters on the flight manifest besides Ron Brown but I do think this Clinton crime family incident is a tale of upper-middle management getting to big & accumulating power to quickly against a solidified old boy network. Boeing, of course was a East coast mafia money laundering/diversifying asset vehicle(from the mid-forties) which has integrated the defense apparatis. I think there are a few interesting angles which could be useful in a COC documentary.
    Thank you James, for your unique voice & brilliant work(exclamation)!

  3. If you want to be depressed review the past–yikes. Nevertheless it was an unexpectedly good article, James.

    AND just for the record–if the self-appointed, too-sophisticated for the public (that was a telling statement), conspiring families/individual elites want to take even a single person out because they believe him/her to be a threat to their agenda they will do so–without hesitation. They will do whatever it takes, including starting a short-lived war on foreign soil, killing as many as are necessary to cover their deed as well as destroying everything in their path. These people are criminals of the worse variety. They have no allegiances. They are loyal only to their agenda, not to national boundaries. It appears there was lying and deception on both side. However, from my perspectiveve killing 269 people to get rid of one person is not out of the realm of possibility.

  4. I say we stage worldwide protests demanding to know who’s on the flight manifest before we board our flight.
    We need to be able to make informed decisions that could potentially save our life.

    • I avoid flying but I agree it would be an excellent ‘safety procedure’ to be privy to the manifest before boarding a flight. Not going to happen but it would be nice.

  5. Thank you so much James for re-posting this excellent documentary. The episode of Crossfire is no longer available at the Google link, or at least not for me here in the UK. A few people have posted it on YouTube with this version seeming to be the most complete one with Pat Buchanan interviewing Congressman Larry MacDonald not long before his untimely death, and Tom Braden badgering him in his complicit conspiracy angst. https://youtu.be/_BPhYEFGaGM
