Unfortunately for the United States there seems to be evidence pointing to the involvement of individuals working in U.S. agencies in this incident.
"One possible target of Malaysian terrorist plot (masterminded by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed) would be the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, the world's tallest buildings from 1998 until 2004. These Malaysian Islamist's connections with Badat and Al-Qaeda were uncovered just a few days after MH370 disappearance. The link was spotted by British media on 15 March 2014.[7] This idea were discussed later in a few newspaper but only until 19 March 2014."

The convoluted terror plots pre and post 9/11 do not withstand much scrutiny and it will be interesting to see what develops in Khalid Sheikh Muhammed's case before he is killed.

TLDR The United States almost certainly had the capacity at the time of the crash to monitor all air traffic globally, and did so.
Most likely the United States has declined to provide information about the exact location of the impact in order to preserve its illusion of technological supremacy. Still, as long as the U.S. does not provide whatever 'secret' satellite data it has on mh370, and as long as the main body of the plane is not recovered, there will be suspicions about whether the U.S. might be hiding some more sinister secret regarding the plane.

Some interesting conspiracies involve a computer chip company. It is highly likely, perhaps the most plausible theory, that the crash involved a mix of political and corporate ambitions. This theory gains credibility by the fact that some parties online are trying to backdoor discredit it by pushing absurd versions that distract from more likely versions.

An interesting article on mh370 https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/07/mh370-malaysia-airlines/590653/ .
At first glance it appears to have high credibility, but there are some problems.
1) There is little doubt that the U.S. has the ability to track, and does track, all aircraft globally around the world. This can be deduced a number of ways.
2) There is little doubt China is aware of the capability, but the U.S. still keeps it 'secret'.
3) Consequently, in the aftermath of the disappearance, the U.S. had two choices, a) provide the coordinates of the crash, or b) engage in subterfuge to distract from any appearance of responsibility to provide that information.
So, then it becomes obvious a person should look for confirmation that the article linked above contains subterfuge.
There are a few things, from early in the article, that cast doubt on the credibility of that article.
Among other things, many signatures of a government led disinformation project.
1) The name of the supposed searcher leads people to follow several plausible trails https://www.reddit.com/r/roosterteeth/comments/97lfxs/blaine_gibson_on_flight_mh370_conspiracy_podcast/
2) The articles mentioning this character and his research are heavily concentrated specifically in certain media, in specific countries, often used to promote 'official' versions of questionable events. For example these specific media 'scooped' other media with inaccurate stories following the Khashoggi murder, stories that turned out to be untruthful.
3) Similarly, the death threats and other intrigue are presented in such a way as to try to increase the credibility of the story, rather than simply provide background.
4) There are indications the author of the article might have some connection to governmental agencies that are prone to interfere in media. Note "After the attacks of 9/11, Langewiesche was the only journalist given full unrestricted access to the World Trade Center site." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Langewiesche
5) The author was also the only person from the press allowed at another crash site . "The press was excluded even from the staging area" ... "the investigators made an exception in my case." https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1998/03/the-lessons-of-valujet-592/306534/ 110 people died on that flight, but the accident has no obvious political overtones.
It may well all be a series of coincidences, but it would seem wise for the United States to devote some resources to producing the plane, rather than producing questionable news articles.
~In Progress~

There have been a number of suspicious plane crashes in recent years. Two examples are
MH 370 March 8 2014 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_370
Some background http://jeffwise.net/2018/12/22/the-mh370-miracle/
and
ET302 March 10 2019 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopian_Airlines_Flight_302
These two are selected because
a) they appear to be discrete sabotage, as opposed to crashes like that involving TWA800 which were meant by those involved to be exposed, and
b) there is pressure on governments to minimize the fear of travel they might cause, so some information released publicly should be scrutinized, and
c) if they are part of a commercial competition i.e., both those crashes targeting Boeing, then it is likely this tactic will rapidly increase as more countries / corporations start competing for contracts.
A massive settlement by the U.S. against Airbus coincides with the 737max debacle. The negotiations were supposedly ongoing for more than a decade, but the multi billion dollar settlement was only reached after the 737max crashes. Was an Airbus plot behind the crashes? If the 737max was a case of industrial sabotage it will be decades before it is known publicly. Such competition between major corporations does occur, but even governments do not investigate, because public awareness of something like that could cripple economies.
This is one symptom of the fiat economy and nationalist competition that will grow rapidly unless small, insulated, language based digital economies are encouraged.

1930s / 1940s
"Before the Second World War, researchers in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, the Soviet Union, and the United States, independently and in great secrecy, developed technologies that led to the modern version of radar. Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa followed prewar Great Britain's radar development, and Hungary generated its radar technology during the war." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar
1957
"In 1957 the Soviet Union launched the world's first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1. Since then, about 6,600 satellites from more than 40 countries have been launched. According to a 2013 estimate, 3,600 remained in orbit. Of those, about 1,000 were operational" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite
1960s through 1990s
A vast amount of money is spent on classified military satellites by numerous countries. In the 1980s it was publicly known that satellites had the capability of seeing anywhere on the planet in near real time, but the resolution was classified, in other words it was not public if those satellites could distinguish an object of a specific size e.g. golf ball sized. A main focus of these satellites was airplane and missile activity in hostile countries i.e., monitoring aircraft and other artificial objects.
2001
September 11 attacks on various targets led to a blank check mentality that would have prioritized identifying all planes, but especially commercial planes, real time. That capability almost certainly already existed by the late 1970s, but the events of 9/11 would have provided far more funding. Enough satellites to monitor all commercial air space on the planet would probably have cost in the hundreds of millions, not the billions at that point. However the cold war mentality of limiting access to information ostensibly for strategic reasons but more accurately for other reasons, like 'the feeling of power' among military types, was still in play, as it is today.
2007 / 2008
"In 2007 the Chinese military shot down an aging weather satellite, followed by the US Navy shooting down a defunct spy satellite in February 2008."
March 8 2014
MH370 disappears. "Of the 227 passengers, 152 were Chinese citizens." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_370
China makes it clear in press conferences that they are aware of the capabilities of certain countries to track commercial aircraft real time. Their appeal was evidently presented in a sincere way, and provided an opportunity for the United States to start a global shift away from offensive military technology and towards a sustainable way of using military resources. The fact that the United States did not offer that help will probably have repercussions that most Americans will not notice for years.
More problematically, The fact that the United States was not helpful in locating this wreckage might raise suspicions about the origin or cause of the plane loss, and could be perceived as an attempt to push China in a certain direction.
...
In this event, exposure would most likely come through the diligent research of somebody like Pablo Dreyfus https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablo_Dreyfus . An interesting note “Bonin wordlessly banks the plane to the left. Suddenly, a strange aroma, like an electrical transformer, floods the cockpit, and the temperature suddenly increases." https://www.popularmechanics.com/flight/a3115/what-really-happened-aboard-air-france-447-6611877/
In fact the transcript was kept secret until it leaked, and the odor right before the crash was minimized.

Worth adding / considering the following /
a) The debris collected suggests either the plane did not fly in the proper direction, or the debris was not deposited by a crash.
b) If the plane was not flying in the proper direction, then it is likely several passengers would have noticed.
c) It is almost certain that at least several passengers had satellite phones.
From that it seems likely that the passengers were probably incapacitated in some way. The most likely that comes to mind would be a gas similar to what the Russians used in the event described at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_theater_hostage_crisis
**************
~~~The bottom line~~~
From http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2015/02/jeff-wise-mh370-theory.html
“For a long time, I resisted even considering the possibility that someone might have tampered with the data. That would require an almost inconceivably sophisticated hijack operation, one so complicated and technically demanding that it would almost certainly need state-level backing. This was true conspiracy-theory material.”
“And yet, once I started looking for evidence, I found it. One of the commenters on my blog had learned that the compartment on 777s called the electronics-and-equipment bay, or E/E bay, can be accessed via a hatch in the front of the first-class cabin. If perpetrators got in there, a long shot, they would have access to equipment that could be used to change the BFO value of its satellite transmissions. They could even take over the flight controls.”
~
So did the Russians take the plane to cause tension between the Chinese and the U.S.?
Or did the U.S. or U.K. frame the Russians?
Or did the Chinese frame the U.S.?
Who knows.
Some of the borders the plane would have to fly along are problematic, and the debris that has appeared off Madagascar seems to contradict some of this, but... Should the site referred to by Mr Wise be examined for evidence?
~~~
Best Final Guess / Summary Theory
1) A fairly capable and connected, but compartmentalized group, probably with connections in two or three countries, snatched the aircraft and its passengers.
2) The passengers were probably killed immediately.
3) The primary motive was a future terrorist attack that would cement anti U.S. ‘conspiracy theories’ regarding the aircraft and lead to other countries, e.g. those involved, having a better stance in a world where China has more power.
4) The specific status of the plane, e.g. location etc, was probably determined using capabilities described above.
5) Specific individuals within U.S. agencies probably isolated the individuals involved by first leaking information to Mr Wise, then presenting the relevant imagery to representatives of several countries.
6) The supposed debris off Western Africa provides discretion i.e., political closure, but does not reduce the chance of a flurry of similar attacks in the future, as full publicity of all the details would.
7) The basic flaw of the individuals involved was their nationalism or provincialism, as long as the details are obscure the potential lessons are lost to the public.
~What next?~
Because soft tissue remains would give a clear picture of what happened to the passengers, https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/12/12/570189142/human-feet-still-washing-up-in-pacific-northwest-but-dont-panic and because the plane will have to be discovered at some point, most likely it has been deposited in such a way that much of the outside of the airplane has been ripped away.
If the plane is to be used in some other event then the debris found would have to be replaced on the original plane, which would probably leave a clear trail for researchers. In that event the most likely target would be some Chinese interest, but that seems unlikely.
If trauma to the passengers cannot be removed from the plane e.g. if they were shot while asleep as in the Moscow theater “rescue”, and bullet damage is evident to the plane, then the hijackers are in a truly difficult position. The various governments aware of what happened might help create an alternative scenario or help delay finding the plane, but in that case there would be a wide group of people with limited visibility who could be obliged to arrange cover for similar acts in the future.

Dread Pirate Roberts, or Ross Ulbricht, was publicized as the face behind the Silk Road drugs website.
The goal of the federal agents involved in the Silk Road case appears to have been their own financial gain and career advancement.
Their goal was not to catch a dangerous criminal, but rather to create one.
Ulbricht was portrayed by law enforcers as having been a violent criminal, but the evidence seems to indicate the following.
a) He was a libertarian pacifist.
b) He was inclined to drug use but had no tendencies towards violence and took firm measures to ensure violence was not encouraged on the website. A person who has questions should read what he actually wrote and compare it to what the federal agents involved in the case claim he wrote.
c) There is a big question about whether those federal agents may have simply used him as the apparent manager of the business that they were running.
It isn’t clear if the following wallet has coins stolen by federal agents. Most likely corrupt law enforcement personnel control tens or hundreds of thousands of bitcoin, and that may be the case behind the following digital wallet.

There are indications that he was manipulated into starting numerous criminal activities by a still unidentified federal agent *not any agent referred to in the Wired articles below* who acted as his mentor before the website began, and used the investigation for personal financial gain. That agent is apart from the two federal agents who were caught stealing during the investigation. The third corrupt federal agent may have been given a pass because, aside from ruining the case, exposing his activities would have had far reaching effects on the image of law enforcement.
~A huge sum of money was being paid regularly to ‘hackers’ who were supposedly attacking ‘his’ website. Most likely this ‘hacking ransom’ was in fact the ‘income’ side of the Silk Road for the several federal agents who ran the lucrative project. The few who were caught, two known publicly, were almost certainly out of the loop and simply assigned to the case because they could be trusted to be crooked, if necessary. A careful examination of the relationships between the federal agents involved in this case would probably uncover a complex web of corruption that appears to be widespread.~
d) It has been shown, beyond a reasonable doubt, that individuals involved in prosecuting this case did alter evidence, including chat logs and digital records. So the case appears to have started with a few federal agents seeing an opportunity to profit by manufacturing a criminal, and finished with those agents having full liberty to change evidence to suit them. The two corrupt federal agents who were caught most likely were not aware of the corrupt agent, or group of agents, who initially cultivated the project.

A person can like or dislike drugs. I do not care for drugs, aside from tobacco, but this case is not really about whether a person should or shouldn’t care for drugs. Rather it’s about whether a gang of corrupt individuals should be able to use the disguise of “serving the public” to build elaborate careers for themselves, and in some cases steal vast amounts of money.

There is one central piece of evidence, a fact, that throws doubt on the substance of the case made against Ullbricht by a group of federal agents. Many people are aware of this fact, it involves so called “dark net” privacy, and it strongly indicates that Ullbricht was managed by corrupt federal agents literally from the beginning, for their personal gain. There are reasons not to spell out this detail explicitly but eventually it will lead to a reexamination of the case and hopefully discredit the predatory law enforcement mentality behind it.
~~~~
Individual government agents with high paying prestigious jobs tried to portray Ullbricht as a dangerous individual, but his twitter account https://mobile.twitter.com/dreadpiratesr?lang=en written entirely behind what he believed to be a cloak of anonymity, shows more accurately what his priorities were. He may not have the blunt force of a large group of law enforcers, but he does have basic individual integrity which those law enforcers do not.
~A brief look at his Twitter posts also may explain the timing of his arrest.~
~
When I first read about this case and the supposed hit man services, child pornography, illegal weapons etc supposedly offered on the site, my first thought was that he should pay a steep price.
As it turns out, more and more of the government case is turning out to be carefully crafted fiction.
More details about that case can be found at https://freeross.org/
One of the takeaway points from this case is that while Ulbricht had money and publicity to try to defend himself, there are many people attacked by gangster cops who don’t have his resources. If federal agents can go unchallenged in creating such a ridiculous case against him, and if the system offers no legitimate recourse for him, then the system is even more broken for those who have less ability to defend themselves than he has.
~
Interesting to note the disparity between the publicity and sentences of nonviolent offenders and those of ‘law enforcement officers’ arrested for more serious crimes https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Connolly_(FBI)
FBI agent John Connolly was only arrested when it seemed likely there would be publicity about his actions, as is usually the case with arrests of ‘law enforcement agents’. After he was arrested there was an obvious slant given to publicity in his case that seemed to minimize his crimes.
Ulbricht, of course, received a much more serious sentence than the corrupt FBI agent.
~
Worth noting too that
a) Oftentimes federal agents are given ultra mild sentences, or even passes on serving their sentence, under the guise of providing some service, including as a witness. Publicity forces a trial and sentencing, but whether the sentence is actually served is left to the discretion of those same individuals who protect corrupt agents.
b) Connolly did serve some time for his corruption at a low security “summer camp” prison, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Correctional_Complex,_Butner the same facility used for wealthy criminals like Madoff. According to Wikipedia “As of 2018, Connolly's name does not appear in the Florida Department of Corrections database. This suggests that he is being held at Florida State Prison under an alias, which would not be unusual for a former FBI agent.” Actually, it would be unusual. If the goal were to incarcerate him secretively the facility he was at would not be listed. The goal more likely is to obscure the fact that Connolly is either not incarcerated or is in a noncustodial situation approved by a judge. Ross Ulbricht is incarcerated at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Penitentiary,_Florence_High, a high security federal penitentiary.
c) Connolly, an FBI agent involved in extensive corruption, was charged with only a tiny fraction of the crimes he committed. Reading the disgusting excuses provided by his colleagues, and comparing them with law enforcement comments about Ulbricht makes law enforcers in both cases look like jackasses.
d) Also interesting, and coincidental, that both the Connolly and Ulbricht cases involve a number of ‘law enforcers’ making large amounts of extracurricular cash. “During Connolly's trial, Bulger's right-hand man, Kevin Weeks, testified that Bulger boasted that he had corrupted six FBI agents and more than 20 Boston police officers. At holiday time, Bulger stuffed envelopes with cash, Weeks testified.” The key corrupt federal agents in both cases appear not to have been exposed.
~
There is no question that there are FBI agents who believe their organization is decent, perhaps here and there a little corruption. But the truth is that law enforcement agencies operating that way are inherently corrupt. It becomes a game between the established corrupt powers within the organization and the “fresh blood”, the naive agents who will either be drawn into the corruption, however peripherally, until they reach the top of their level of trustworthiness, or be sacrificed to keep the organization alive.
https://www.upi.com/Feature-FBI-testified-on-behalf-of-hitman/24931014237792/
Below, the full text of that article, in case it is removed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 (UPI) -- In Santa Rosa, Calif., during the summer of 1970, Joe "The Animal" Barboza murdered small-time thug Clay Wilson, while under the protection of the federal witness protection program.
As this was the 26th murder committed by Barboza that the FBI knew about, two FBI agents and a U.S. Attorney were dispatched from Boston -- where Barboza had been a key witness in three major organized crime trials -- by the U.S. Attorney General to help with the Wilson murder trial. But the agents came to help with the defense.
Everyone involved admits it was an airtight case against Barboza -- at the time using the alias Joe Baron. The prosecutors had detailed witness statements and the testimony of a jailhouse informant that Barboza had admitted to the crime. The details of the murder supplied by the informant turned out to be completely accurate.
And with the help of character testimony and consultations from the federal agents -- FBI Special Agents H. Paul Rico and Dennis Condon and then-U.S. Attorney Edward F. Harrington -- for the defense, Barboza was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to five years to life for the murder. He was later paroled in just over three years and released from a minimum-security prison.
Adding to the debacle of sentencing a man to three years for his 26th murder, while the federal government actively assisted the defendant, investigators now suspect that much of his original testimony -- which earned him the loyalty of federal law enforcement -- was false and led to four innocent men being sentenced for a 1965 murder. Two men received the death penalty -- later commuted to life -- and died in prison. Two others served 30 and 34 years respectively before being released.
Chairman Dan Burton, R-Ind., of the House Government Reform Committee is convinced that not only did the FBI and federal prosecutors assist Barboza in his defense on the Wilson murder charges, but also knowingly allowed Barboza to falsely testify on several occasions and send men they knew were innocent to jail.
"Joe Barboza went on trial for murder in 1971," Burton said in a hearing last week. "Here you have a known mob hitman. The FBI believed that he'd already committed 26 murders. The evidence against Barboza in the 1971 trial was overwhelming. The detectives and even Barboza's own lawyer testified that it was a slam-dunk capital murder case. And the FBI pulled out all the stops to try to help get Joe Barboza off. They flew out to California They worked with the defense team. They testified on Barboza's behalf."
Over the course of two days of hearings, the committee heard testimony on the case against Barboza in the 1971 murder case from Martin Miller, the public defender for Barboza during the trial, Edwin Cameron, the Sonoma County District Attorney's office investigator who assisted in making the state's case, and Tim Brown, a detective with the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office.
On the second day of hearings, the committee called retired FBI agent H. Paul Rico and Edward Harrington, now senior federal district judge in Massachusetts. Rico refused to testify, citing his constitutional protection against self-incrimination. Harrington discussed the process by which the federal government decided to testify on behalf of a multiple murderer.
Rico and Condon are at the center of a Justice Department taskforce investigating a slew of allegations about the FBI's handling of informants in New England and California. Rico is also a target of an investigation into corruption at World Jai Lai, a company that he joined as head of security after his retirement from the FBI in the mid-1970s.
Cameron testified about the effect that Condon, Rico and Harrington's testimony on Barboza's behalf had on their case, which he claims forced them to offer the lenient plea bargain to Barboza.
"The FBI at the time was considered pretty sacrosanct," he said. "They had damaged our case to the point that we didn't think the jury would give us a first degree murder verdict," because "having the FBI there and the color of their authority painting him as honest and truthful."
Miller recalled the FBI agents and Harrington explaining their motivation for coming to the aid of Barboza, whose previous testimony had helped convict several topflight mobsters in New England -- including Raymond Patriarca, head of the New England crime empire.
“They were worried that if Barboza were given death (for the Wilson murder) that he'd recant his previous testimony (against Patriarca and others)," he said. "So they would help him in anyway they could."
"The better they treated informants in the witness protection program, the more people would join them," he added. "This they made perfectly clear to me at the time."
Brown testified that, ironically, the sheriff's office had requested help itself during the case from the FBI, because of information that the Mafia might be looking to kill Barboza and others in their county during the trial.
"We were told that people had been sent from the East Coast to Santa Rosa to kill our witnesses," he testified. "We sought help from the FBI, but no help ever came."
When federal law enforcement did arrive in California, the witnesses testified that they were all shaken to discover that they had come to help protect Barboza, not to convict him. Miller testified that the agents and Harrington actually met with his client before meeting with local law enforcement and insisted that the defense attorney not be present when they met with his client.
When asked by the committee if he found this unusual, he was clear that such behavior had never occurred before in a trial, but that he had been convinced that the agents were there to help him.
"I would have gone out of my mind (normally), but they seemed so intent on keeping him from the death penalty that I figured they wouldn't hurt (my case)," he said.
Harrington testified that his testimony came at the request of the U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell for three reasons: Barboza had been promised that his cooperation in the previous cases would be brought to the attention of judges during sentencing, that protecting Barboza would help develop the new witness protection program and because the government wanted to show potential informants that they would be protected in exchange for testimony.
Despite no evidence that the Wilson murder was in any way connected to Barboza's previous testimony as an informant, Harrington pushed his superiors to be allowed to testify -- along with Rico and Condon -- on Barboza's behalf. Prosecutors and even Barboza's own attorney had testified that Barboza killed Wilson to steal $250,000 worth of bonds and other valuables that Wilson himself had recently stolen.
In a Justice Department memo obtained by United Press International, Harrington urges his superiors to allow the testimony on the hitman's behalf.
“It is my judgment that the federal officials involved should respond to (Barboza's) subpoena as it is essential that the government fulfill its commitment to Baron to do all within its power to insure that he suffers no harm as a result of his cooperation with the federal government," the memo says.
Other Justice Department documents from the period that show the instructions given to the three men in regards to their testimony were released by the committee. In them, Mitchell grants permission to testify, under the condition that the testimony cannot reveal the identity or information of other informants, or any other information from Justice Department filed without expressed permission from the attorney general. The testimony was limited to warnings the FBI had given Barboza about Mafia efforts to kill him, and the arrest of two presumed Mafia figures from Boston, who traveled to the San Francisco area in January, 1970, presumably to kill Barboza. No mention of testifying to Barboza's honesty and character were made in the memos.
As the testimony unfolded, Burton accused the Justice Department of ignoring the threat Barboza posed as a killer and as an unreliable witness.
“Joe Barboza was a cold-blooded killer," he said. "They gave him a new identity. They put him in the middle of an unsuspecting community. They put him on the payroll. And he killed again. At that point they should have locked him up and thrown away the key. They did just the opposite. They did everything they could to get him back on the street. Joe Barboza was murdered himself in 1976. I have to wonder, if he hadn't been killed, how many murders would they have let him commit before the Justice Department decided to reign him in?"

Interesting to note that one of the corrupt FBI agents involved in the nonsense above was commissioner of the Massachusetts state police. Do state police in Massachusetts really need organized crime to help pay their bills?
“As of 2017, the Massachusetts State Police average pay for a state trooper was $145,413, with three troopers earning over $300,000, and 245 troopers (12% of the workforce) earning over $200,000. A trooper's base pay is augmented by working multiple details, directing traffic, overtime shifts, or providing security at special events.
Perks and extra benefits
Along with their base salary and overtime, troopers have other benefits to include:
- Troopers receive hazard bonus pay of $700 annually.
- Troopers who commute more than 75 miles or more miles in one way from home receive $75 each week.
- State police employees who work in civilian clothing for 10 days or more each calendar month receive a stipend of $62.50 per month.
- State police employees who work a five-day workweek are compensated an extra 17 days off per year. This time off is to align with employees who work four days on duty, then get two days off.

Researching the names in the above article will lead you into a string of different cases in other states as well that all have one thing in common, investigators that bounce back and forth between corruption and incompetence. Then, after a career of profiting from shoddy policing, these gangsters promote each other as heroes and authorities.

Any person who is a good researcher might be able to connect the dots and see how the FBI corruption in Massachusetts connects to FBI corruption in Alaska and elsewhere, and how that relates to the topic of this website, material which will not be added for a while.
A clue https://aboutthemafia.com/tag/dennis-condon
This website gives some of the reasons why it is important for economies to be built around culture and language, rather than imposed by conquerors and their corporations.
This page will try to explain why it is important for tribal economies to prepare for an algorithm that creates an artificial intelligence network.
~In Progress
Any economy that is started using a regular digital currency created for local use can switch to an ai algorithm once those networks start operating.
~Once Native language coins begin developing, this section will describe an open source algorithm that can be used by them.~
What is Artificial Intelligence?
https://theintercept.com/2019/07/21/ai-race-china-artificial-intelligence/
In popular usage, ai, artificial intelligence, is usually defined as something that can pass as human. In other words usually software that can respond to a human in such away that the software gives the impression of human response.
A step higher than that, a slightly more sophisticated definition, is something that is created i.e., artificial, but which has intelligence i.e., learns, or presents more accurate answers or output, with training or experience.
Higher yet is a 'tool' which can be used to leverage intelligence. This is the category in to which ai coins fall. An ai digital coin network will use algorithms which allow a group to leverage their scientific intelligence. So that, for example, arbitrarily using the measure "iq" since it is well known, a group of 1000 people with an average 'iq' of 100 will be able to create a network that is equivalent to a higher number of people with a higher average 'iq'.
Initially, each network will probably have a small group of people writing software which 'competes' with software created by other networks, and each network will also have a larger number of 'human miners', people who interact with software on both sides with the goal of creating faster software.
Once the basic networks are established, more techniques will accelerate the rate at which the increase in 'produced intelligence' increases.
At some point it will be possible, using ai digital coin networks with large numbers of people, to accelerate any science quickly. Development of 'math' as a science to date has taken the entire history of humanity, a long time. Once coin networks are efficient, this level of development might occur in one year or one week or one day. It is impossible to quantify how coins will develop science, except to say that they will make development accelerate at an increasing rate.

There is no doubt that many individuals in many countries are quietly waiting for an environment that is friendly towards the development of ai coins.
Whether a particular person’s motive is nationalistic, scientific, progressive or other, the basic structure of ai coins is easily arrived at.
AI or 'Artificial intelligence' has different meanings. It can mean...
1) Software that mimics 'human' responses, like Cortana. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortana
2) Software that adapts by itself based on input.
3) Software that reflects more intelligence than was used to create it.
or it can mean other things https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence
On this website, AI usually refers to a network generated intelligence. Similar to the 'intelligence' of software combined realtime with human input, and using network dynamics to 'harvest' the 'intelligence' product i.e., scientific steps that would be more difficult to reach through other means.
~
AI networks will be digital currency networks that have large numbers of people, on two or more competing sides, which develop algorithms to solve progressively more complex problems. The process is the same as any scientific work, except it is accelerated by organizing software and 'scientists' or 'human input workers'.

Melting pot societies have been consolidating some sciences and eliminating others, which is what melting pots do.
One thing that will become clear as artificial intelligence develops is that there is an overwhelming advantage individuals raised in a more "indigenous" environment have in understanding useful "artificial intelligence".
Part of the reason for this is that the strength of 'artificial intelligence' in the near future will be based on the 'differentness' of their component networks. Two allied networks with different languages, cultures etc will be much faster at developing ai than two related groups. More basically though, a consolidated tribal group has a more accurate perception of 'intelligence'. Their rationality may not end at the same place as melting pot rationality but it has a tested foundation. The perception of intelligence in a melting pot is opportunistic, while tribal perceptions of intelligence are not colored by individual motives.
Society, globally, is a conglomeration of powerful melting pots, at the moment. A few isolated indigenous groups in some places have a small amount of power but most indigenous people the world over are simply trying to avoid being totally consumed by one or another melting pot.
Things have gotten to the point where most melting potters superficially consider themselves "indigenous" to their melting pot, as long as they are in the company of enough compatriots.
The "American" feels threatened by Native "outsiders". The "Chinese", the "Indian", the "Brazilian", the "Indonesian", likewise. They all consider themselves traditional old cultures who have custody of childlike indigenous people, who are a burden to them, rather than the other way around.
