Police have found a torn sick leave note for the date of the crashed Germanwings flight in the home of Andreas Lubitz, suspected of voluntarily bringing the plane down, Dusseldorf prosecutors say.

Prosecutors believe Lubitz could have been concealing his illness from the company.

"Documents with medical contents were confiscated that point towards an existing illness and corresponding treatment by doctors," said the Prosecutors' Office in Dusseldorf, Reuters reports.

"The fact there are sick notes saying he was unable to work, among other things, that were found torn up, which were recent and even from the day of the crime, support the assumption based on the preliminary examination that the deceased hid his illness from his employer and his professional colleagues," it said.

It was not specified what medical condition exactly prompted Lubutz's doctor to issue him a medical certificate.

Prosecutors say evaluation of the documents will take some days.

Prosecutors said Lubitz did not have political or religious motives for deliberately crashing the plane.

They found no suicide note among his belongings.

Police earlier said they had recovered a "significant clue" following searches in Lubitz's apartment and his parents' home.

"We have found something which will now be taken for tests," Markus Niesczery from Dusseldorf Police told the Daily Mail. "We cannot say what it is at the moment, but it may be a very significant clue to what has happened."

German daily Bild reported earlier on Friday that Lubitz had spent 18 months overall under psychiatric treatment. The newspaper also claimed it got access to Lubitz's profile, indicating the pilot had "psychological problems" and required a "special, exemplary regular medical examination.

Bild also cited sources familiar with the investigation, saying that Lubitz was suffering from a "personal life crisis," following a recent breakup with a girlfriend.

US-Israel's Strategic Objective is to Prevent a German-Russian Alliance

NATO: In the Crosshairs of Critique - Is Germany trying to distance itself from NATO's sabre-rattling? [Link]
"... something dangerous is happening right now: US generals like Breedlove are trying to provoke a war, where Germans and Russians would kill each other in order to weaken both countries. This is a cynical, actually a diabolical plan. But this is exactly what US strategist like Georg Friedman, director of the Stratfor think tank, are suggesting. United, Germany and Russia are the only power that could threaten the US, Friedman said in a speech in February 2015 in Chicago.

"Our primordial interest [preventing a German-Russian alliance] is to ensure that will never happen," said Friedman.

"The US, as an empire, cannot intervene in Eurasia all the time," he explained. Therefore they must turn countries against each other, so they don’t build close alliances. "I suggest something President Ronald Reagan used against Iraq and Iran: He supported both war parties!" Freidman stated. The war between Iraq and Iran between 1980 and 1988 claimed at least 400.000 dead, so from the point of peace science it is frightening what Friedman suggests. "So the Iranians and Iraqis fought against each other and not against us," explained Freidman in his speech. "That was cynical and amoral. But it worked."

The USA cannot occupy Eurasia. The same moment we put our boots on European soil, we will be outnumbered due to demographics. In my opinion the radical US generals like Breedlove are trying to implement this strategy, where in future German and Russian Soldiers kill each other in Ukraine, thus destabilizing and weakening the whole of East Europe. That would be a catastrophe. Therefore a peace movement needs to encourage an alternative solution, like the neutrality of Ukraine. No NATO membership and friendship between Germany and Russia."

Psychiatric drugs

are known to make people even more suicidal than they were before beginning these 'treatments'. On the upside, after they commit suicide they no longer have their previous problems...

Cover story is a movie script

If the Pilot is Jewish, Then its a Medical Problem, if He's Muslim, Then its Terrorism [Link]

An Oscar-nominated movie that contains eerie similarities to the Germanwings air disaster is set for release. Outrage over the release of movie showing member of aircrew locking himself in cockpit to crash a plane and kill everyone on board [Link] [Link]

Not 'Mental'-Suicide but MassMurder

'Shame' by Dina Elmuti [Link]

"It's rare these days to see writing so concise and eloquently truthful as this piece by Dina Elmuti

Some are beginning to say that Andreas Lubitz was a Jew. Was he? I don't yet know but, if he was, Dina's words will resonate all the more

Germanwings flight 9525 co-pilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately crashed a plane and committed mass murder, but he was not Muslim so the word ‘terrorist’ has not and will not be associated with his name and the horrific crime he committed. There was no Quran found in his locker, no last call to a friend named Muhammad, no donations to humanitarian causes in Palestine or Syria. As it stands, he’s just a regular ole’ white non-Muslim. A ‘troubled’ soul.

Therefore, his character and name deserve every protection.

When mass murderers are called ‘mentally ill’, ‘depressed,’ ‘emotionally unstable,’ or ‘troubled,’ it’s so much more than semantics. It’s about affording certain people, and only those people, the right to depth and complexity and humaneness. In the eyes of the sensationalist media, everyone else is a two-dimensional approximation of human.

Shame.

149 innocent people were murdered, including two babies and sixteen schoolchildren. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to their families and loved ones."

"Germanwings co-pilot had 'medical excuse' on day of crash"

Was the pilot that was scheduled to fly with Lubitz as co-pilot a Muslim or someone with a very Muslim/Arabic sounding name but didn't turn up due to medical reasons?

Why does the media wants us to think/believe the pilot took it down? Was this another remote-control hijacking?

Jean Michel · 2015-03-28T15:43:42Z

I believe that you have your facts messed up, Lubitz was the co-pilot.

It was the pilot that was locked out of the cockpit.

Medical Records made public?

Let's see if there will be some moves to make medical and psychiatric records available to police and employers, for purposes of public safety.

davebates · 2015-03-29T00:31:41Z

what is the real cause?

The days following this dreadful accident the authorities issued a statement that looked as if computer software may have been an issue. They reported that this model of aircraft has a system between the hand controls and the flaps, rudders ect, and would be impossible to have human control from the flight deck. Basically if the pilot wants to do something outside of computer software, then the sofware regains stability. It all appears a very quick turnaround in decision making, & how very convenient to blame a departed soul who cannot speak for himself. Kind regards Dave Bates
