Putin does it again!!! (poisoned spy)

This is getting to become almost an all-out spook war.

Now apparently another ardent investigative analyst, whose conclusions implicated Putin in the Thallium murders, was shot in his D.C. area driveway.

Here's the story.

Wake up, everyone. Putin's power plays are not his way of asserting Russia's standing in the world. This man is a master chess player, and he's manipulating the world from behind-the-scenes in a way unparalleled since perhaps Napoleon. Putin likens his position to that of a modern day czar, and he will stop at nothing to consolidate that power.

And anyone who stands in his way-- at least with any influence -- is going to be killed.

I have a great idea , lets blame every death on Putin...oh wait a minute, everyone is doing thisn already

Maybe they were Bush critics???

It is more fun to blame it all on Putin. No one in US is aware of his actual policies, strong Russia=evil, he was in KGB, he has a weird dictator-like name, and he is one sinister looking guy. I mean come-on he is the perfect villain.

I've heard that Putin was going to sue the creators of Dobby...

Who needs lawsuits when you have polonium. I mean isn't polonium the official Russian diplomacy tool now according to the West? Any one else want to "negotiate"?

Berezovsky was questioned today in London by Russian investigators. Since Berezovsky is a target for FSB and Moscow, it was brave of him to agree to be questioned by them.

Lugovoy, Kovtun and Sokolenko might be arrested and charged for Litvinenko's murder.

Some Breaking news on this,

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is to make an announcement regarding the fatal poisoning of Russian security agent Alexander Litvinenko.

news.sky.com...

NineMSN link

from news link British prosecutors have demanded Russia extradite an ex-KGB agent to face murder charges over the death of former spy Alexander Litvinenko, plunging chilly ties with Moscow to a new low.

Russian authorities immediately said they would not hand over Andrei Lugovoi despite London's demands for "full cooperation" over the Cold War-style affair

from same linkRussia is also at odds with the West over the US missile defence system to be deployed in central Europe and United Nations plans to grant Kosovo independence from its ally Serbia

yep its definately interesting, and that link also notes that the Russia/US political climate is getting chilly also.

Can someone turn up the heater its getting chilly in here

Scoop?

In response to being officially charged for Litvinenkos murder, Lugovoi has promised "a scoop" that will dramatically change the attitude of the British public towards Russians who have settled in the UK (Berezovsky?).


Regnum: Lugovoi promises a scoop after being officially charged for Litvinenko’s murder


I wonder what kind of "sensation" he is talking about. They will probably try to blame Berezovsky for the murder. However, Berezovsky being a mafia boss does not convince me that he killed Litvinenko. I still believe that this is the works of a rival mafia boss, Mogilevich.

They have found lots of traces of polonium in the UK after Litvinenko was murdered. Suitcase nuke + polonium = armed suitcase nuke. I wonder if some of these traces could possibly be related to arming of such devices in the UK? Was the murder of Litvinenko a message to someone in the UK (other than Berezovsky)? If someone has such device(s) hidden in the UK and has now armed them, could they use this to blackmail the UK?

I believe that Kim tested one of these devices with North Korea's "nuke test". If Kim have had this/these device(s) for a little while, the polonium to arm the(se) nuke(s) must have been added later, due to the short halflife of polonium. Does this mean that polonium was delivered to North Korea right before this "nuke test"?

I'm not sure how long such armed devices will remain armed, before they'll need more polonium in order to arm them again.

Hellmutt, are you confusing polonium with plutonium?

One is poison, the other nuclear fuel right?

I don't think Hellmutt has anything wrong.

Polonium is used as a particle source in some nuclear weapons designs to help initiate the nuclear reaction.

Most older style nukes used Po-210 as a neutron source. Problem was, the it needs changing every 6 months or so, which was hazardous and detrimental to the life of the warhead.

The suitcase nukes used them as well, which was the premise of my thread about Litvinenko having something to do with the missing bombs from the USSR.

EDIT: Spelled neuron instead of neutron..doh!

Berezovsky vs. Russia

Berezovsky is on trial in Moscow today. Berezovsky himself is not in Russia of course. Berezovsky is charged with conspiring to seize power in Russia in a violent coup, as well as money laundering. His lawyers says that he's innocent, but they expect the court to declare him guilty anyway...

Terror attack that would shake all of Russia and the whole world

Vyacheslav Zharko, an ex-FSB agent, claims that Litvinenko apart from planning to kill Putin and planning a series of terror attacks, allegedly also planned a terror attack which would shake all Russia and the whole world.


Russian ex-agent who claims recruited by MI-6 accused late Litvinenko of preparations to murder Putin

02.07.2007


The former officer of the Federal Security Service (FSB) of the Russian Federation, Alexander Litvinenko, poisoned in London by radioactive polonium in November, 2006, probably, planned murder of the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, and had been preparing for a series of acts of terrorism, one of which " would shake all Russia and the whole world ", ex-FSB agent Vyacheslav Zharko is quoted today by the Moscow-based daily Izvestia as saying.

But, who is this guy Zharko anyway? He seems to be bragging about UK taxpayers paying him for his fantasies...

Russian agent claims hired by Britain through Litvinenko

Well, lets just hope Vladimir wasnt allowed to be alone while on his visit to Kennebunkport,

I can just see the secret service following him everywhere in the house JUST IN CASE.

He's got nasty habits.
