The Mail on Sunday is now openly blaming the pilot saying he's a religious fanatic and staunch follower of Anwar Ibrahim, Malaysias opposition leader.
Just hours before the flight he attened the trial of Ibrahim, who was sentenced to 5 years of jail.

Didn't the plane head for Diego Garcia aka the US base? I like the idea about the mountains however that would only work if the plane flew in that direction and it appears from most stories that it did not, it flew for approximately 5 hours, most likely below radar to an unspecified direction (Diego Garcia).
This smells of military

The passengers flying with false documentation may turn out to be an issue, certainly. But it is more likely that the cause lies elsewhere.

Speculation aside, I bet it suffered catastrophic failure, it hit the water, then the sea floor. I just read a new Chinese seismic report stating this may have been the case and I'm leaning towards this being the case. Remember when Air France Flight 447 a couple years back? It was a sudden aileron failure that caused the plane to fall off the radar and kill 228 people.

They are a major issue ... people who travel on fake documentation, make up for a big part of traficking personell around the world. They owe the given cartells, and usually find themselves paying off their dept by doing slave labour for years and years.

We are witnessing a silent war against China and Russia play out.

It is hard to believe, but USA does have tech to remotely take over and fly airliners. There are backdoor to computing and communication systems that allow this.

Any thoughts on Antarctica as a destination in the southern corridor, which the MSM seem to have discounted ?

Somebody went through a LOT of trouble to get this plane (intact), so that leads to them wanting somebody or something that was ON that plane.
Given this idea, it means they LANDED the plane. (otherwise, much easier to blow it up, than what seems to have happened).
