Nov'06 Litvinenko Polonium assassin CIAs Alexander Goldfarb?

[Craig W]

Thanks for that characteristically forthright reply, Pincher.

At the risk of incurring your ire, could I ask in your view:

What was the method of administering the Thalium?

What, if anything, did the Thalium have to do with the three dense round objects?

How do you think these objects got in to L's intestines (if indeed they existed at all)?

Why the switch from Thalium to Polonium in the official story if the cause of death was in fact Thalium?

As I said, Stelios, I only SUSPECT that Litvinenko was a double agent. If though, for the sake of argument, I assert that he was, your objection to this (on the grounds that he was beholden to his employer, Beresovski) is quite silly, pitifully lame and naive in the extreme.

Beresovski maybe an influential billionaire. But you forget he is stateless and a relatively new arrival here. Whatever influence he has in the UK today it is nothing compared to what he formerly had in Russia, yet despite his wealth he still had to leave the motherland in something a hurry.

Whether he was 'forced' to flee Russia or not is something that we might never know (one secret that Litvinenko may well have taken to his grave) but several Rusian oligarchs have found out to their cost in recent years where power in their country now lies - and that's with the FSB (as I mentioned earlier up to 75% of the Politburo may have an intelligence service background).

What goes for Russia, also goes for the West. MI5/6 almost certainly set up the Litvinenko hit. Only MI5/6 could liaise securely with SISDE and provide cover and eventual immunity for one of their agents (Scaramella). Only MI5/6 could have taken over Litvinenko's 'care' in the NHS. And only MI5/6 could have managed the flow of information to the media (particularly the BBC - remember 7/7?).

Beresovski is a very important asset of the Western intelligence network. But it is important to understand who owns whom. Beresovski is an instrument of the West, not the other way round.

If he ever forgot this then he, like Litvinenko, would become just another one of 'Putin's' victims.

First of all I must point out an erratum in one of my earlier postings in which I referred to the toxicologist who confirmed Litvinenko's positive test for Thalium Sulphate (NB not Polonium 210) at Guys Hospital on the 16th November. I referred to him as Professor Tony Henry. This should have read Professor JOHN Henry. So sackcloth and ashes for me.

I mention this because said Prof made a guest appearance on an Horizon documentary this week about 'committing the perfect murder.' And yes he talked and chalked about Litvinenko, Thalium, Polonium etc. And no he didn't come out with anything new. But just as the credits started to roll the continuity announcer made a dramatic intervention:

'we regret to inform you that since the making of this programme Professor John Henry has passed away.'

How old was this bloke, Pincher (guestimate)?

Thanks, Pincher.

Another suspicious death...

Sorry if I've missed it, but is the cause of death known at all?

Professor Henry's death reported here


Dear Mark,

Thank you for your email. We worked with John ourselves and everyone here was very sad to hear the news, too. He passed away in the early hours of the morning on 8 May.

John’s colleague Mike Platt has written an obituary which I believe the Times will be publishing shortly, although I don’t know the date – it may be out tomorrow.

===============================================

Professor Henry passed away on the same day that the Horizon programme 'A Perfect Murder' was broadcast, in which he discussed the poisoning of Yushenko and Litvinenko.

[Pincher]

Given his ill health I am forced to downgrade my suspicions surrounding Henry's death. However they are not completely allayed. The Imperial College obituary did mention that he died unexpectedly.

I also find it curious that he is reported as dying on the very day of the screening of the Horizon documentary. Did the Beeb have a news crew by his bedside (remember they reported his death at the end of the programme)?

Finally, I find it odd that the obit makes no reference to Henry's involvement in the Yushenko and Litvinenko cases. After all, these sordid affairs were what brought him to public attention.

[Mark Gobell]

I agree Pincher.

Incredible synchronicity at best, downright suspicious at least.

Pincher - I like your style. Nice work

And here is The Times' obituary that appeared today:

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/obituaries/article1784823.ece

Some initial thoughts:

1) Although referred to twice his involvement in the Litvinenko case is glossed over. He is referred to as having merely given (private) opinions on the matter. There is no sense of him having been formerly retained by any party.

2) Intriguingly, he is described as strong willed and unconventional (it seems he pooh-poohed the effectiveness of a ricin attack on the tube). Not the sort of expert the spooks would want hanging around itching to queer their pitch eh?

3) The Times mentions PRECISELY the cause of death. Barring misadventure and murder it's considered tasteless to put forward anything other than the euphemistic 'after a long illness' by way of explanation (accepting that Henry's 'long illness' was 'unexpected').

I'd be interested to hear the observations of other resident sleuths.

[Micpsi]

I see nothing suspicious in either Henry's death or its announcement at the end of the Horizon programme. I would have done if 1. he had been healthy, and 2. he had seriously disputed the cause of Litvinenko's death and was planning to take the issue further. As, however, he was gravely ill at the time of his appearance in the programme, why would someone take the risk of bringing forward his anticipated death when he was not challenging the status quo? It is broadcasting etiquette to announce the death of some participant in a programme, so nothing can be read into that.

In short, this is a lot ado about nothing.

As one of this board's resident insominiacs I sometimes tune into Dotun Adebayo's obituary show 'Brief Lives' on Radio 5 Live in the wee hours of Monday morning.

Now, guess who's toxicological exploits came under the microscope in this week's edition.

And guess what mysterious little episode right at the end of his brief life didn't...

[TonyGosling]

Why use this particular poison? All done for television my friend. This entire case smacks of pure theatre. And behind the scenes, people so evil they can send one of their victims to die with TV cameras in his face.

Berezovsky's my guess - the Russians agree - that man poisons whatever he touches.

The society of the spectacle is upon us.

For Litvinenko read Al Magrahi.

Convenient lies to store up for future international MSM hate campaigns.
International crooked diplomacy Foreign Office style.

Litvinenko's death bears all the hallmarks, as they say, of Boris Berezovsky.

Litvinenko case opens in London
http://rt.com/news/line/2011-10-13/#id20187
The first hearings on the circumstances surrounding the 2006 death of former Russian intelligence agent Alexander Litvinenko were held in London on Thursday. A British coroner judge who is considering the case said it may be taken to the Superior Court. Litvinenko’s relatives are trying to prove that his death violated the second article of the European Convention of Human Rights, which guarantees an individual’s right to life. Litvinenko died from poisoning by a radioactive substance in November 2006 in a London hospital. The incident has clouded relations between Russia and the UK ever since.

[insidejob]

The idea that Litvinenko was murdered through the use of Polonium is total rubbish.

Polonium is more expensive than gold. Why would any State use a substance more expensive than gold to kill anyone? And since when did any State give training to its assassins on the use of a radioactive substance to carry out their killings? The whole thing is absurd.

What is more likely? That Litvineko poisoned himself accidentally whilst smuggling Polonium.
