Lemma 3 - MH370 Solution: Updated Edition with 2016 Second Anniverary Introduction - Africa Gambit Theory Stronger Than Ever by John T. Cullen (Clocktower Books) (1 Review)    Price verified one minute ago

Lemma 3--originally proposed in 2014 to solve the mysterious vanishing of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370--remains stronger than ever as pieces of wing debris wash up east of Africa--precisely in line with the author's predictions in the original June 2014 edition of this book--except we now know the hijackers' mission failed. We need to study Lemma 3 to ensure no such hijack mission ever succeeds because its aim was to drop the weaponized plane as a dirty and destructive bomb on a major target in Europe, Israel, or the Mediterranean Sea.

This edition contains a new Introduction, plus the full text of the June 2014 first edition. It is vitally important to keep all options on the table--which authorities have not done, choosing to continue a singular and so far ineffectual search off the shore of western ...
