Anna Politkovskaya & Alexander Litvinenko

https://twitter.com/andersostlund/status/519381785080524801

Alexander Valterovich Litvinenko (1962 – 2006) was a fugitive officer of the Russian FSB secret service who specialised in tackling organised crime. In November 1998, Litvinenko and several other FSB officers publicly accused their superiors of ordering the assassination of the Russian tycoon and oligarch Boris Berezovsky. Litvinenko was arrested twice before fleeing to the United Kingdom where he was granted asylum.

During his time in London, Litvinenko wrote two books, Blowing Up Russia: Terror from Within and Lubyanka Criminal Group, wherein he accused the Russian secret services of staging the Russian apartment bombings and other terrorism acts in an effort to bring Vladimir Putin to power. He also accused Putin of ordering the murder in October 2006 of the Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya.

On 1 November 2006, Litvinenko suddenly fell ill and was hospitalised in what was established as a case of poisoning by radioactive polonium-210, resulting in his death on 23 November. A British murder investigation pointed to Andrey Lugovoy, a member of Russia’s Federal Protective Service, as the prime suspect. The United Kingdom requested the extradition of Lugovoy, but the request was refused.

    David Christopher Kelly (14 May 1944 – 17 July 2003), British scientist and authority on biological warfare, employed by the British Ministry of Defence, and formerly a United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq. On 18 July 2003, Kelly was found dead after he had been named as the source of quotations used by BBC journalist Andrew Gilligan. These quotations had formed the basis of media reports claiming that the government had knowingly “sexed up” the “September Dossier”, a report into Iraq and weapons of mass destruction. (Wikipedia)

    Patrick Daniel “Pat” Tillman (November 6, 1976 – April 22, 2004), American football player who left his professional career and enlisted in the United States Army Rangers in June 2002. At first, the Army reported that Tillman had been killed by enemy fire. On May 28, 2004, the Pentagon notified the Tillman family that he had died as a result of a friendly fire incident; the family and other critics allege that the Department of Defense delayed the disclosure for weeks after Tillman’s memorial service out of a desire to protect the image of the U.S. armed forces.

    Gary Stephen Webb (August 31, 1955 – December 10, 2004), American investigative reporter best known for his 1996 Dark Alliance series of articles written for the San Jose Mercury News. Webb investigated Nicaraguans linked to the CIA-backed Contras who had smuggled cocaine into the U.S. According to Webb, the CIA was aware of the cocaine transactions and the large shipments of drugs into the U.S. by Contra personnel. Webb charged that the Reagan administration shielded inner-city drug dealers from prosecution in order to raise money for the Contras. In 2004 he was found dead from ‘two’ gunshot wounds to the head, which the coroner’s office judged a suicide. (Wikipedia)

    Michael Mahon Hastings (January 28, 1980 – June 18, 2013), American journalist, author, contributing editor to Rolling Stone and reporter for BuzzFeed. Hastings became a vocal critic of the surveillance state during the investigation of reporters by the U.S. Department of Justice in 2013, referring to the restrictions on the freedom of the press by the Obama administration as a “war” on journalism. On June 18, 2013, Michael Hastings died in a single-vehicle automobile crash in his Mercedes C250 Coupé in Los Angeles. A witness to the crash said the car seemed to be traveling at maximum speed and was creating sparks and flames before it fishtailed and crashed into a palm tree. Earlier the previous day, Hastings indicated that he believed he was being investigated by the FBI. USA Today reported that in the days before his death, Hastings believed his car was being “tampered with” and that he was scared and wanted to leave town. Former U.S. National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism Richard Clarke said that what is known about the crash is “consistent with a car cyber attack”.

    1. So its OK to kill people or have them killed because “everyone’s doing it”….?

      And if they’re not. Well just make stuff up.
      US journalist killed because he supports a free press. 9/11 was a CIA conspiracy. JPM is killing it employees “in mysterious circumstances” to collect the life insurance…

      1. Tut, tut…if I point out Churchill was not an angel, you line up Stalin, Hitler and Pol Pot. If I line up these other people who died under anything but normal circumstances, you cry foul. Make up your mind!

  2. Hell, coffee is for wimps, Colin. Such a profound discourse, with the weight of the world resting on our shoulders, deserves a case of beer, if not some sterner stuff. Cheers 🙂
