Somewhere, spread across a 20-kilometer debris field in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, there are answers to what happened to Kogalmavia Flight 9268.
But whether the victims’ families – and the rest of the world – will ever get those answers remains to be seen.
Flight 9268 crashed just minutes after takeoff on Saturday, killing all 224 people on board. While authorities investigate the possibility of terrorism, there’s one group of possible culprits who should not escape scrutiny.
And that’s the Russians themselves.
Russia has an alleged history of using staged terror bombings to advance its global political interests, and there is increasing evidence the plane was taken down by either bomb or missile.
According to Alexander Smirnov, deputy general director of parent company Metrojet early Monday, “The only possible explanation could be an external impact on the airplane.” Smirnov said the company has already ruled out pilot error or technical fault, and insisted that its planes wouldn’t just break to pieces in mid-flight.
Flight 9268 appears to have broken apart in mid-air over a region of Egypt known for a heavy ISIS-affiliated insurgency, and there’s enough concern about a possible terror link that other major airlines have announced they will no longer fly over the region.
But any attempts to pin the tragedy on ISIS have faltered with the group’s claim that it shot the plane down, which experts have called ludicrous and “unreliable.” Flight 9268 had climbed to an altitude of 30,000 feet, which terror experts say far exceeds current ISIS weapons capabilities.
Piecing together a possible mechanical cause of the crash has so far been problematic. While Russian jets have a notoriously spotty history for safety and maintenance, early reports that the air crew radioed complaining about mechanical problems with the plane were not true, according to Egyptian aviation authorities. And the plane passed a pre-flight safety check.
“There was nothing abnormal before the plane crash,” Egyptian Civil Aviation Minister Hossam Kamel said at a news conference. “It suddenly disappeared from the radar.”
For Russian experts, the plane crash – and a possible link to a bomb – brings back troubling memories of a so-called “false flag” operation less than 20 years ago.
In 1999, a string of apartment bombings throughout Russia killed more than 300 people and wounded more than 1,700. The attacks helped sweep current Russian ruler Vladimir Putin into power and were used as a pretext for an invasion of Chechnya.
But Russian authorities quickly shut down inquiries into who was really behind the attacks, and two members of the Russian parliament who investigated the bombings died in apparent assassinations.
Three years ago, John Dunlop, a senior fellow at the prestigious Hoover Institution, conducted the investigation the Russians never did with his book, The Moscow Bombings of September 1999. In his book, Dunlop claims to have found ample evidence that Russian authorities themselves were complicit in the attacks.
Russia used the apartment attacks as a means to justify its global ambitions and to silence domestic and foreign critics when it launched the second Chechen War.
With Russia now looking to expand its role in the Middle East – and grow its influence in countries like Syria, Iran and Iraq under the guise of fighting terrorism – the timing of the Flight 9268 tragedy appears opportunistic.
The possibility exists that Russia dusted off an old playbook, and that knowledge should be part of any investigation into what really happened to the doomed Egyptian passenger jet.
Whatever the cause, it is an awful tragedy and one that the world should mourn.
Yes, it could be Russia but before any of us rush to conclude such, remember that Janet Napitilano said there were 26 videos to be leaked before she left for CA and all in support of taking the guns…this administration is vile…check out what they did in the budget bill that relates to my people in AZ and their sacred burial grounds…we have vile people in DC and not one of them seem to care about treaties, honesty, respect., etc.,
You are right, this administration IS vile. Valerie Jarrett should be locked up for the rest of her life. Obama? Well Obama just follows Valerie’s directions, he is no more than her puppet. It will take more than a handful of voters to get rid of the vile dems. They have torn down any progress that the blacks had made, before Jarrett took over the country. Muslims seem to be wicked people….no scruples at all.
ALL muslims should be EXPORTED or EXECUTED ! ! ! !
You are quick to point a finger at Russia when Washington is a den of vipers and always will be. There MO is blowing up planes.
Uh-oh. One of the inmates escaped again. Notify the retrieval squad that Bedford is loose again and will need to be rounded up and returned to the asylum.
He does sound a bit loony. Hmmmmm maybe MORE than a bit loony!
Hey, maybe Bedford did it!!!
The question is who was on that plane that Russia wanted to get rid. Putin is getting rid of anyone he thinks might be a threat to him. We will not leave office. He should never have been put back into office.He had the one man that wasn’t afraid of killed, he want to Putin out of office.
How many planes and people will Putin kill before the UN and at the International committee call for obama and Putin to answer for War Crimes. ISIS is Russian and Iran made killers. These people are so drugged up they probably don’t ever know their names when asked. These drugs they’re supplying them with are turning them into machine like people, ready to kill and destroy anything and everybody in their path.
obama wants to send 50 more of out troops to their death.
the 30 Troop put in ONE Helicopter, Ours seals, Some of Americas finest went to their deaths, went down ALL in ONE helicopter, A TRADE off for the DEATH OF BEN LADIN, was it worth It’ No it was not.
As obama continues to sent more and more of our Well Trained Troops to their deaths every time he has planes the only brings us closer and closer to destruction. When will Congress Stop him.
Our fore fathers spoke a a militia, that American must form to stop Tyranny. Each state has their own guide lines for just such a purpose. It’s time America starts planing for what we are in store for as long as obama and Valerie Jarrette remain in office.
Sending 50 of our finest into is like Sending them into A Raging VOLCANO
if the Republicans were not so forgetful, they could use Article 5 in the constitution to stop obama or the Supreme court. pocket pool for congress is a way of saying they did something.
WELL SAID!
don’t forget what the dem. are trying to put in office after obama …hillary clinton a lying murderer and should be shot for treason already and her rapist husband bill… good lord how did we let these people sink us down so far GOD BLESS AMERICA…P.S. I WAS
A DEM. OF 40 YEARS …OR WAS TILL THIS YEAR COULDN’T TAKE IT ANY LONGER
I did the same, but sooner. I just read where someone wants to blow Air Force One out of the air. I will keep looking up, I have been expecting that for a long time. How much more damage can they do to our country? Obama, stick your head back in the fence, Putin’s coming!
Don’t forget about those three U.S. Senators who died in a plane crash: Wellstone, Boggs, and Carnahan….Wellstone had the swing vote on the Iraqi war, Boggs wanted to reopen the President Kennedy assassination investigation, and Carnahan wanted to further investigate Iran-Contra….The FBI showed up at Wellstone’s crash many hours before it was possible to get there…The method used to make their planes crash was using another plane equipped with a device that would turn off the engines of the senator’s planes…..
That should be “THEIR” MO……….
Couldn’t agree more…my thoughts exactly! Two pounds to a penny it was the KM (Kazarian Mafia)
[email protected] It is unfortunate that the western media has a purpose to help Obama to collapse Russia for regime change. Putin has changed Russia from a communist, Marxist regime to a nationalistic capitalist regime. I sometime get weary of the grossly uninformed even in our government. I understand the media purpose of propaganda. That is all they can do. Journalism in America is dead. There is no objectivity only a power for the Left. The notion that Russia shot down its own plane is a false flag. It is ludicrous. It is just more propaganda to take down Putin because he has rejected communism and any participation in a global government. That makes him an enemy of western Marxism. Thus, an enemy of Obama.
A false flag here is absurd! People who read RT know all about fale flags. In fact a report from RT say ISIS dooes not have the ability to do this kind of terrorism. RT has ruled ISIS out!
I wouldn’t doubt this idea one bit. I even know that a plane doesn’t split apart in flight due to mechanical problems! The Ruskies are shrewdies! Button your sealbelts as WW III is in the early stages of development and to deny this is to be a fool! Elections in 2016 – I highly doubt that ever happening.
We have our own issues – Flight 800?
I AGREE
It’s funny how people who are quick to deny that the US had anything to do with 911 are usually quick to accuse other countries of the same thing.
You are an idiot Bishoff, stick to Wrestling
I see we still have people who can not understand all the evidence about 911, or perhaps they are working for the perpetrators.
The evidence against the official narrative is overwhelming.
Yes I used to think no government would intentionally kill its own people but after viewing some of the evidence it is probable that our government is responsible. If so why not Russia?
Russia is not the old Russia!
Putin wouldn’t do such a thing when he is attempting it rid the world of ISIS.THIS, who are already infiltrating Europe via the Syrian Refugee crisis, caused through Us Government sticking their greedy noses in totake over the resources of that Country and to overthrow that Government so they can install their chosen Dictator in Assad ‘ s place.Putinis not interested in creating WW3 … he wants to prevent it!
AGREE
Exactly and this article is the first, but certainly not the last, dumb thing I read today.
Does your post come before or after the article in terms of dumb things, Fabian
The 9/11 was to rob the econony of stocks , gold and rob the thousands of
families in the US of all their inheritance funds that were supposed to be released
in April 2001, 5 months later, the 9/11 , never again was the inheritance money mentioned by the US Government, after all 300 diplomats were killed, 300 nations forwarding to relatives. A lot of the inheritance funds were stocks from Bush (Texas Oil) Koch Brothers(Cheveron) both of these were
on my inheritance papers, sent wills and non- traffing drug and money laundering certificates to President Barak Obama in 2009 and 2011, instead
in 2010, I got a sniper moved in next door, and Sept1, 2012 a plane drone over my house w/ the army sniper walky=talkying to the drone asking were is she at, she not in there. He is part of the crime and cover-up. His record of the past 6+ years is definitely proof, he is robbing the middle class and lining corporate thugs pockets as well as the revolving door between bankers , CEO’s between postions in the government and Wall Street CEO’s the same people he bailed out instead of reinbursing the families that got screwed, then letting them continue robbing the middle class! implant!
profiting off the backs of US citizens, and trying like hell to block Bush and Cheney investigations as Bush brought in his own secret crew, to cover up evidence, crook, mass murderer!
I agree!
Other ‘culprits’ to consider:
* US
* Israel
* Assad
* Iran
First two are the most credible
exactly! the first four culprits: us, Israel, iran and assad al-kalb of Syria!!!
and what about CIA operation?

Interesting video.
I noticed that this piece does not have an author. I wondered why and came up with this answer. This piece is pure nonsense. Some dingbat in the backroom of Horn news is trying to exploit a tragedy of a plane crash that killed over 200 people and create a conspiracy theory. Shame on Horn news for even printing this piece of trash. If this author works for Horn news he/she should be fired and if he/she is an outside source working for Horn news you must recognize that this author is not a reliable source for news and should not be paid fro such an inflammatory piece of written drivel. He/she is not even worthy of writing for a gossip rag such as the National Enquirer.
Denis, I agree with you, one hundred percent.
I do too!
It’s not important who wrote this piece, the Horn is responsible for it period! It should be obvious to anyone with elementary education that planes do not just breakup at 30,000 ft. Who was on that plane could tell us a lot about who is responsible.
This was likely caused by a bomb or missile,
however Planes HAVE been known to break up in flight,
due to corrosion or cracks.
Many tragedies ARE due to false flag operations.
Many times the real culprit will not be charged or punished,
but don’t fret that.
The Sovereign God is in His Holy Tempe. Meaning,
He is in control and whatever happens was ordained
by Him (not that He causes evil but that He allows it, to
accomplish His purposes). He knows who the evil
workers are and “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay saith
the Lord.” And “payday” is drawing near, very near !!!
I agree with Andee! Fierce Look’s point is nothing new, as the groundwork for WWIII can be traced to The Treaty at Yalta, and all of the concessions made to Stalin. Eric will see conspiracies everywhere, because there are conspiracies everywhere… but most are either obvious or very convoluted and getting it right will always be controversial. I am, of course, stating the obvious. No enduring wisdom, here!
It is always wise to consider who benefits from any disaster. Covert operations started the Spanish American War, WWI, WWII, the assassination of JFK, the overthrown of the Iranian government in 1953, the Vietnam war, the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, and, of course 9/11 which sadly has probably changed the world forever and will result in perpetual war. It is too early to say who caused this plan crash or what will result – stay tuned.
In overall concerns, the plane crash doesn’t come close to comparing the events of 9/11. It has been proven that the airplanes or fires did not bring down the three high rise buildings in NYC. We also know that Israel benefited more than any other group and that they certainly had the opportunities and technology to carry of this event along with the cooperation of people like Cheney, Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Rabbi Dov Zakheim, Richard Perle, Elliot Abrams, Douglas Feith and other noe-conservatives.
There are many US Stinger and Russian AA missles unaccounted for. ISIS has some of them. The Russians have all but declared war on ISIS. It is pretty simple..ISIS knocked it down…….Meanwhile the US sits on its hands just like Britain and France did before the eve of WWII allowing Hitler to annex lands for his Lebensraum. The exterme muslims are doing the same thing by annexing lands for their Lebensraum and eventual domination of all lands under Islamic control..What the US should do is make an Allied agreement with Russia to both go in and clean the middle east of these neanderthal brown skinned equator dwellers and stabilize the region and at the end make it stable for oil to flow. Most of these middle eastern countrys have shown they are NOT capable of running their own governments so Russia and the US shall show them how.
I say let Putin destroy every living Muslim scumbags in the middle-east……burn them, gas them, behead them…whatever, just get rid of these friggin goat humping, fecal matter eating mf’er’s!
Flight 800 was a huge cover-up by the US government who thinks there is not one thinking American on the planet.
The ones who gain the most from this tragedy are:
1. IslamaObama
2. Saudia Arabia
3. Israel
4. CIA
5. George Soros
6. ISIS, AL QAEDA, Al Nuery, Taliban
7. Islam
You forgot Justin Bieber, LeBron James and Sophia Loren. All three of them have their fingerprints all over this crash. I would put all the suspects you named behind the three I named.
…and Bedford Brown’s.
Let’s hope that this results in the Russians totally exterminating areas frequented/occupied by ISIS.
Very enlightening! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQuceU3x2Ww
you say you encourge healthy debate. Most of what I am reading would be considered conspiracy theory at the very least from both left and right. Get a life!
Horn News it is articles such as this that will lose you your readership because I for one don’t have time to try to figure out the validity of yet another media outlets news stories.What is interesting is that there is no byline associated to this article. It would seem that a reporter with an exclusive report would want their name associated to the article. This is the first clue that this article is most likely less than truthful.
its so difficult to belief
… and the wheels on the bus go round & round ====== all the day long
… welcome to the ‘snippets’ of the END TIMES
Russia has a history of taking down jets. Vladimir Putin is as evil as his Soviet predecessors. There’s a real possibility that Russia is more involved in this crash than they will ever admit.
Why is DC vile? Because they are desperate. And desperate people do desperate people do desperate things. It is unimaginable how much govt has changed since O took office. In part because Congress is of full of people that like their positions and want to keep them no matter what. And the nation is full of people that have been taught that the govt is a giant ATM to provide patronage for any and all special interest groups. Just hire a lawyer and the dims will do their best to provide what you need. Even if it means 18+ trillion in debt. After all patronage is free isn’t it? I suspect our govt is the most dysfunctional govt in the history of the world at this point? It will take 50 to 100 years to drive the national debt to zero w/o destroying the economy. There are solutions, but creating more debt to eliminate past debt is not one of them as most of us know from using credit cards. And they are not quick. However they do need to start and today is a very good day to start down a different road. The road to sane govt. Humpty Dumpty has had a great fall and all the king’s lawyers and judges and spenders and homosexuals and atheists and illegal immigrants from Syria and muslims can’t put him back together again. They and endless deficits are all part of the problem along with the dims wherever they are. Does anyone in DC have an interest in the nation, or is it all for re-election? Day in, day out. They have created the most significant disconnect between themselves and the citizens in the history of this nation! I repeat. We have a dysfunctional govt of historical scope!
Lets face it , this worlds’ going to hell in a hand basket real quick. Lets all have a big group hug and then join hands and sing kumbayah.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN PARTIES THEY HAVE REPUBLICRATS. WHICH EVER WAY THE WIND BLOWS THAT IS THE WAY THEY GO ,AS LONG AS THE MONEY CAN BE INTERCEPTED AND STASHED IN THEIR SWISS ACCOUNTS..YOU CAN COUNT ON ONE HAND THE POLITICO’S THAT REALLY CARE FOR THE U.S.A. AND IF THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTHS THE MEDIA FRYS THEM. THE SO-CALLED CITIZENS ARE WAY TO INTERESTED IN THEIR DAMN PHONES AND THE WEB TO BOTHER PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY……
You want to get rid of corruption and start this country on the right tract. Put Christ back in schools,Christmas and our everyday life. The biggest change for the good is to vote out all the democrats who want to fill their pockets and will hurt anyone who will get in their way. Starting with H. Clinton, who would and did let men die she is no better then Putin.
What happened to freedom of speech?
An old Gestapo trick. Take out one of your own to shift blame to someone else.
