Mysterious Chinese Blogger Predicted AirAsia QZ8501 Disappearance Two Weeks Ago
Mysterious Chinese Blogger Predicted AirAsia QZ8501 Disappearance Two Weeks Ago. (Sp).
A Mysterious Chinese blogger seemingly predicted the AirAsia QZ8501 catastrophe, providing warnings to potential travelers some two weeks before the tragic incident actually happened.
"There is a post on some Chinese forum that is blowing up right now because apparently a user 13 days ago made a post warning people not to go on AirAsia Airline. He explained that the people that brought down MH370 is going to target another Malaysian airline to destroy Malaysia's Air travel industry or something like that and it all has something to do with the US (my Chinese is a bit rusty)," a Reddit member wrote, referring to the mysterious Chinese blogger.
The post immediately went viral on social media. About two weeks ago the Chinese poster warned against using AirAsia passenger airliners, referring to a shadow organization "The International Black Hand."
The International Business Times cites the original post written in Chinese: "Black Hand hijacked and shot down MH370 and MH17. This has pretty much killed the 6th largest airline – Malaysian airline."
"Now the Black Hand is targeting AirAsia to ruin this airline because it too belongs to Malaysia. Given how powerful the Black Hand is, I suggest that all Chinese planning to travel, should avoid AirAsia, so that you don't disappear like those on MH370. You could be happily vacationing, working, or studying aboard, but if you go on Malaysian airline or AirAsia, you're dead, be careful everyone," the poster calling himself "Landlord" stressed.
The Chinese person who posted the warning initially faced a barrage of criticism and was labelled a "conspiracy nut," with forum users questioning why they were so confident in their prediction. "All you civilians get away from the airline. You can still hide, all those who can see the post can still save themselves… Don't be a victim, go hide. Avoid Malaysian airline and AirAsia. Life is precious and your safety is important (sic)," the mysterious 'Landlord' replied as quoted by the International Business Times.
Citing the Chinese version of the Epoch Times, the media outlet points out that the Chinese blogger was desperately trying to reach as many people as possible, frequently reposting their message. A few days before the disappearance of AirAsia flight QZ8501, they apparently halted their efforts.
Social network users suggest that the mysterious poster could be a Chinese security official, or a hacker, who somehow managed to obtained sensitive data and wanted to save people's lives, while not disclosing his identity or the details of the forthcoming catastrophe.

Air Asia CEO dumped insurance Shares days before Flight QZ8501 Disappeared.
Air Asia CEO dumped insurance Shares days before Flight QZ8501 Disappeared.(InfoWars).
Move prompts speculation Tony Fernandes had prior knowledge.AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes dumped 944,800 shares in Tune Insurance Holdings Bhd, the organization that provides travel insurance for AirAsia passengers, just days before the disappearance of Flight QZ8501.
On December 26, the Malaysian Insider reported that Fernandes, the founder of Tune Group Sdn Bhd which owns AirAsia, had sold a total of 944,800 shares in Tune Insurance Holdings Bhd, with 850,000 shares being dumped on December 22, and the other 94,800 being sold the day after.
According to its official website, Tune Insurance Holdings Bhd is “an insurance product manager” for AirAsia in which “insurance products are sold to (AirAsia) customers as part of their online booking process.”
The share prices of AirAsia and Tune Insurance Holdings both fell on the first day of trading after the disappearance of Flight QZ8501, with the former shedding 12.9 percent at one point. Tune Insurance Holdings lost 0.6%.
Fernandes decision to dump the shares less than a week before AirAsia Flight QZ8501 disappeared over the Java Sea prompted some to speculate that he may have had prior knowledge of the incident.
“Did Fernandes know his company stock was about to take a hit? The timing is suspicious,” asks Heavy.com, adding, “If so, it indicates knowledge of an impending attack on AirAsia.”
The International Business Times adds that the move has prompted many to voice the theory that Fernandes, “possibly knew about an impending attack on one of the company’s aircraft.” Hmmmm.......Did he have insider knowledge that bad weather would bring the plane down? I don't think so...i would say just a coincidence. Read the full story here

Key China insurer to stop covering tankers with Iranian oil.
Key China insurer to stop covering tankers with Iranian oil.(AlArabiya).HT: IsraelMatzav.Key ship insurer the China P and I Club will halt indemnity coverage for tankers carrying Iranian oil from July amid tightening Western sanctions against OPEC's second largest producer, two club officials told Reuters on Thursday. This is the first sign that refiners in China, Iran’s top crude buyer, may struggle to obtain the shipping and insurance to keep importing from the Middle Eastern country. Iran's other top customers -- India, Japan and South Korea -- are running into similar problems, raising questions on how Tehran will be able to continue to export the bulk of its oil. Oil prices are up nearly 14 percent since the start of this year on concerns that Iranian supplies may be disrupted due to Western sanctions. Brent crude oil traded above $123 a barrel on Thursday. The China P&I Club, whose members include major Chinese shipping firms Sinotrans and COSCO Group, is the first Chinese maritime insurer to confirm it will halt business with tankers operating in Iran, following similar action in Japan. “Many ship owners want to join our club and want our club to cover this risk, but considering all these regulations from the United States and the EU, I know the China P&I club will not do that,” said a Hong Kong-based official with the insurer, which provides coverage to more than 1,000 vessels. “The China P and I club will not take the risk. We have asked our members not to go there, if they go there, they take their own risk,” the official added. Starting in July, European insurers and reinsurers will be barred from indemnifying ships carrying Iranian crude and oil products anywhere in the world, in line with sanctions on Tehran.Asian ship owners will be further limited in their search for insurance to replace their European-based coverage as the China P&I Club was seen as one alternative. It was not clear if other Chinese ship insurers were also planning to reduce tanker coverage. “I really don’t know what will happen,” said a Beijing-based Chinese industry official. “We are talking about $1 billion (per tanker). No single insurance company can handle that.”Read the full story here.
