And let's be clear who the head of the bastards is, Vladimir Putin, the dour little son of a bitch and former KGB friend of George W. Bush. We have been posting and warning about Putin and what has been going on with Russia. I can post and link story upon story about what Putin is up to but there seems to be surprisingly little real interest in what the massively nuclear armed state of Russia is doing. Pick an American interest or initiative of any consequence and Vladimir Putin will be amongst the opposition. Yet again and again, Bush will be practicing his own cynical Real Politik with his good friend Vladimir. While Alexander Litvinenko was dying in London, Bush and Putin were posing in silk dresses and celebrating Russian entry into WTO.

Litvinenko poisoning: the main players:
Alexander Goldfarb
Alex Goldfarb and Alexander Litvinenko met in a Russian prison. In the late 1990s, Mr Goldfarb was director of a George Soros-funded project to tackle TB in the Russian penal system.
Boris Berezovsky
Since arriving in the UK six years ago, Mr Litvinenko had been close to the man who was once one of the wealthiest entrepreneurs in Russia, Boris Berezovsky. Mr Berezovsky, 60, is thought to own the north London house where Mr Litvinenko lived, and is said to have employed him as an adviser in the past.
Lord Bell
Another figure whose hand could be detected as the strange poisoning story unfolded was Lord Bell of Belgravia, the man who, as Tim Bell, came to be synonymous with the advertising campaigns that helped usher the Tories to power in 1979.

Former spy 'poisoned by Russians' dies
By Matt Barnwell
Last Updated: 2:23am GMT 24/11/2006
The former Russian spy who claimed he was poisoned by his country's secret service died last night.
Alexander Litvinenko died following a rapid deterioration of his condition
Alexander Litvinenko, 43, died in intensive care at 9.21pm. University College Hospital, which had been treating the former Federal Security Service colonel since Friday, said the medical team had done everything they could to save him.
However, the hospital admitted that despite extensive tests, it still could not confirm the cause of death.
Scotland Yard's counter-terrorism unit, which is investigating the case, said that it was treating his death as "unexplained". It was not currently a murder inquiry.
Shortly before his death Mr Litvinenko is reported to have told a friend: "The bastards got me. But they won't get everybody."
Both the Kremlin and Russia's security agencies have denied any involvement in his alleged poisoning.
It was unclear last night whether there would be any diplomatic ramifications following Mr Litvinenko's death.
It came after he was placed on a ventilator following a cardiac arrest. He had been receiving treatment under police guard.
Mr Litvineko's condition deteriorated sharply overnight on Wednesday. He experienced the failure of his digestive system, liver and bone marrow, which affected his blood, and also had problems with his speech.
Confirming news of his death, a spokesman for University College Hospital said last night: "He was seriously ill when he was admitted to UCH on Friday November 17, and the medical team at the hospital did everything possible to save his life.
"Every avenue was explored to establish the cause of his condition and the matter is now an ongoing investigation by detectives from New Scotland Yard."
Mr Litvinenko's wife, Marina, had been at his bedside all week. She has still to speak publicly.
Her husband, a fierce critic of President Vladimir Putin's Russian regime, was allegedly poisoned on Nov 1.
It is known that he had two meetings that day — one at a hotel and another at a sushi restaurant in central London. He later fell ill and was taken to Barnet General Hospital where he was treated until his condition worsened last Friday, when he was transferred to University College Hospital.
Scotland Yard said last night: "Inquiries continue into the circumstances surrounding how Mr Litvinenko became unwell.
"The matter is being investigated as an unexplained death."

"W"TO indeed.
ReplyDeleteVDH says the allies in Arms Syria and Iran work in concert in Iraq, so let's set up a Peace Process utilizing them.
At least they'll know they have our attention after 3+ years of killing our troops, Iraqui troops and civilians.
Hanson says the Syrians help the Sunnis kill Shias while Iran helps Shias kill Sunni. Very effective, if less than Kosher.

Mark in Mexico contributes some levity:
"You know, I'm having a thought. If I were to pay AMLO's entire 50,000 peso salary every month, would that put him in my pocket? Would he be, as they say on the streets and in some of the crummy movies they make these days, "my bitch"?
Many years ago, Marcel Bich, scion of the French family that manufactured disposable pens and cigarette lighters, decided to begin selling his wares in the USA. He wisely hired an American marketing company to support this effort. The marketing whiz-bangs immediately informed him that he would have to change the name before offering his products to the US market.
"Americans," he was told, "will not pronounce your name, 'Bich', as 'beesh', but will instead gleefully say, 'bitch'". He was further informed that the possibilities and permutations would be endless.
"Hey, where's my bitch?" (I have missplaced my writing instrument.)
"Ain't this a bitch?" (I am more than pleased by the performance of my disposable ball point pen.)
"Heh! I tossed that bitch aside." (I have disposed of my disposable pen.)
"That bitch burned me." (I held my disposable lighter too close to my nose.)
"Man, my bitch don't put out no more." (My disposable butane lighter no longer contains sufficient gas to ignite.)
"I'm dumpin' this worthless bitch." (My disposable lighter fails to function in even the slightest breeze so I will resort to large phosphorus kitchen matches which I can strike on my jeans zipper or on the unshaven face of whatever moron happens to be standing around.)
Marcel Bich sagely accepted the marketer's advice and America was soon blessed with the Bic Banana.
True story, I swear."
"truly bitchin" Doug!

ReplyDeletePolish veto mars EU-Russia summit
"Finland is hosting the EU-Russia summit in Helsinki
Top officials from the European Union are about to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for a summit in the Finnish capital Helsinki.
But a Polish veto means the EU-Russia summit will not see the beginning of talks on a new strategic partnership.
Poland is upset at a Russian embargo on its meat and plant products introduced a year ago.
It is the first time that one of the 10 countries that joined in 2004 has blocked such an important EU agreement.
The summit appears to be doomed to failure before it has even begun, says the BBC's correspondent in Helsinki, Jonny Dymond."

Never expect to get into the spy world doing black ops/wet works and expect to live a normal long life. It never is paranoia, it's just that world and it is unforgiving. You just accept it. Yep,"they" got him. It's not an unusual thing. It is hard for most to even ever have it on their minds, for who "knows" a master spy or one under deep cover?

It always seems so horrid when one dies like Litvinenko but there is an admiration for those who succeed in such a ruthless world, unknown by ninety nine percent of the world. He paid for his success he way many pay. It's in the contract.
Alexander Litvinenko: "I consider the war continuing in Chechnya as a crime. In 1997, a peace agreement was concluded between Russia and Chechnya. Thus, Russia recognized the independence of Chechnya de jure and de facto. Being a FSB officer, I was at war in Chechnya during the first war. But I am convinced: peace treaties should be observed. Aslan Maskhadov is the legally elected president of Chechnya, and the president Putin who began the second Chechen war is a criminal. The war should be stopped, Russian troops should be immediately withdrawn from Chechnya and replaced with an interim international administration and international forces, the Russian government should compensate the Chechen people for everything it destroyed in the course of the war, and military criminals should be brought to justice."

Russia: "Britain must investigate spy's death"
ReplyDeleteThe Kremlin has said that the death of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko is a tragedy, but is a matter for the British police to investigate. 43-year-old Litvinenko died in a London Hospital on Thursday, three weeks after being mysteriously poisoned. He was a former lieutenant-colonel in Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) -- the successor to the Soviet KGB. His friends have blamed Russia for his apparent poisoning. The Kremlin has denied the allegations. Prior to his death, Litvinenko was involved in investigations of the murder of Anna Politkovskaya, the Russian journalist and opponent of the Chechen war who was murdered in her Moscow apartment block last month.

ReplyDeletePoisoned: Alexander Litvinenko
Spy 'Poisoned By Radiation'
Updated: 17:02, Friday November 24, 2006
A large quantity of radiation, probably from a substance called Polonium 210, has been found in the body of dead ex-Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko.
The "major dose" of alpha radiation was detected in his urine, said Government experts, who added that Polonium 210 is only dangerous if ingested.
They also revealed that police have found radiation in a central London sushi bar where Mr Litvinenko ate shortly before falling ill - and in a hotel where he had met two Russians that morning.
Russian's home searched
Dr Pat Troop, head of the Health Protection Agency, said the death was an "unprecedented event in the UK" and he had "apparently been poisoned by a type of radiation".
The development came as Home Secretary John Reid revealed the police were searching for residual radioactive material at a number of locations.
Sites include Mr Litvinenko's house in north London and reportedly the sushi restaurant in the capital where he met an Italian contact shortly before he fell seriously ill.
I was thinking of the defiant Italian before his beheading.
