Matt Simmons Is Dead

What I don't understand is why we aren't hearing anything on the news? I have seen him as a guest on almost all the major news channels....but I haven't heard anything.

Because no one knows who the crap Dan Simmons is except for people deep into BP oil spill chatter, which makes it not worth a network's time to report it. And if anyone reports on it, I wouldn't expect them to harp on the subject. I'm not saying that I approve of that, but that's the explanation that I believe is true. How much of the public both watches the news and retains information like the names of guests on news shows? I suspect it's not that high a percentage.

Its seem Simmons was in a hot tub and not a pool.

According to police reports, Simmons suffered a heart attack while in a hot tub at his home on North Haven. An autopsy is planned for today in Augusta

READ FULL ARTICLE HERE

If i had staked everything on some very public claims, and everything pointed to me being wrong (and therefore my reputation ruined), i'd be pretty stressed out. He was probably very stressed out for months now. Combine that with his age, and that he doesnt look in the best of health, and a natural death doesnt look at all out of place here.

Its a very reasonable thinking, i like conspiracy theory, made me think outside the box, but in this case i have to agree with zvezdar.

Odd coincidence : Yes
suspicious : High
Things like that can happen : Yes
Murder or cover-up : I don't think so

He don't seem the most healthy guy on the planet.

When I read this on my twitter feed yesterday I had to spend a few minutes finding my jaw on the floor of my car.

I couldn't believe it.

Call me a cynic but this was no accident.

oh children - it's learning time

There's alot of press on this type of thing happening

heart attack hot tub

I guess it's possible he could have had a heart attack. In hot tubs you have to sit down, so it's not like he could easily drown.

It's just sad, and the timing way too freaky.

Here's some other drownings that make you go hmmm....

Jun 7, 2009 Google founders' mentor Rajeev Motwani found dead in swimming pool ...
Oct 26, 2009 Jeffry Picower, Investor With Madoff, Found Dead in His Pool ...
Jun 26, 2010 State Representative Robert Nyman found dead in pool
Jun 27, 2010 Official Found Dead In Public Pool After Party - cbs2chicago.com
Aug 5, 2010 Cricket trainee found dead at Lucknow's Sports College pool


But what about those dart guns that can manufacture a heart attack without being detected?

"They" don't kill some people with heart attacks, car crashes, plane crashes, overdoses, drownings, hangings in their Mom's toolshed, hangings in hotels dressed in drag, etc.......
because they knew something.

"They" do it because some people can prove something.

This has the same hallmarks as the David Kelly "suicide". Mr Kelly was the whistle blower who said that there were NO weapons of mass distruction inside Iraq before the US and UK invasion.

People like this often end up dead in myterious circumstances after they blow the whistle.

It's time these deaths were investigated.

In a perfect world this would be true. Do you really think the government will allow the truth of his death to be told? They will get the right "coroner" in their and then bam they get the result that yes it was natural causes.

Jesus, does anyone know if he has family? Wife? Kids?

I, on the other hand, claiming that the Deepwater Horizon "environmental catastrophe" was nothing more than overblown enviro-hype, met NOTHING but public opposition.

In my experience, the TRUE position is ALWAYS the one that meets the MOST OPPOSITION. The FALSE position is ALWAYS embraced and welcomed.

So this guy had a heart attack in his hot tub. So what? I'll bet he was drinking, too, at the time. Overheating while under the influence of alcohol can kill your ass. What's the whole story?

Play nice, enviro-knee jerk is pretty ignorantly worded and casts a your opinions in a bad light. You may want to consider there are other opinions which conflict with yours. Calling those that hold them names is childish and immature

Text Yellow Oh! Ego, Oh! Hubris! Poor doc did not get embraced by the enviro-knee jerks. They MUST be stopped! LOL

Broad generalizations, childish name calling, No wonder you aren't the media focus Simmons was and your jealousy does not make you right. Especially when you discount the effect of this situation it just makes you look foolish.
The mere fact that there are no clean-up workers left from the Valdez should scale this for you, but like most internet know it alls you would rather discount and deride others as "enviro-knee jerks" than face that your views are inconsistant with history and science. You scale this as a drop in a bucket so how many drops ARE acceptable Doc? At what point Is it a disaster? I am sure those living with the smell of petroleum have a completely different number than you come up with.
N.

I can't believe people are jumping on the conspiracy bandwagon - Matt Simmons

look at the list of notable transactions his little Investment bank did over the last wee while - the numbers beside them are BILLIONS...

Look at how many they have done with Transocean...destabilising BP would protect his investment. THIS MAN WAS NOT A WHISTLEBLOWER OUT OF THE GOOD OF HIS MONEY-GRABBING HEART...he was making sure his pockets remained lined.

A 67 year old with a drink problem dying of a heart attack...go figure!

How ignorant to quantify such.

The reality of any situation is NEVER dictated by the public's response to it. The reality of the situation only EVER lies in the facts - Unfortunately, without an autopsy we do not yet have all the facts. Just the EMT's assessment.

Regarding the oil spill: Do you dispute that Exxon-Valdez spill had far-reaching environmental impact (and still does today)?

That spill was estimated (on the high end) at 750,000 barrels. By contrast, the Deepwater Horizon spill is estimated at 5,000,000 barrels (on the low end).

Just how is that not an environmental disaster?

Found this today browsing through the news and thought I would add it to the thread. There are a couple videos on the link that might prove to be of interest as well, but it looks like Simmons was on to something sure enough. Yeah his death might have been a cooincidence, then again the timing is uncanny and Americans have a long, if not deluded, history of falling for 'magic bullets' and cooincidences.

Source
Ammunition fired from the petrochemical-military industrial complex (PMIC) Disinformation non-lethal weapon aimed at the American public and the world has been blocked at least momentarily by one man, a former land surveyor demonstrating Matt Simmons has been correct about the TV Gulf reporting sham and two wells. The surveyor presents the most damning evidence that the operation has been planned and orchestrated with expertise, as AC Griffith publicly stated this week.

The well that the reader sees on TV reports about the oil capping and other scenes are illusions. What the reader hears most talking heads say about the catastrophe is pacification and distraction. The surveyor calls it a "dog and pony show."...


In a series of four short videos (below), the unidentified land surveyor presents official BP public documents that he downloaded, compared to "live coverage" revealing the TV illusion. He explains in layman's terms what has transpired using BP surveyor maps and documents.

According to the public documents, not only are there the two wells Matt Simmons has insisted exist. The documents also reveal that the plan since the beginning of the operation has been to abandon both wells.

Simmons stated in July, "There is no way BP would not know they were misleading everyone," and, "They would have to be deaf, dumb, and blind and they're not. These are smart guys."

Mainstream corporate "news" reporters either did not uncover what a concerned citizen land surveyor did from public records, or, as such reporters failed to do during the 911 crimes and Hurricane Katrina, the PMIC sponsors did not allow these facts to be aired just as they blocked reporters.

He was probably right, and now he's dead. Heart attack drownings happen everyday...

Edit:
The EX tags are for crap, a snippet is one thing, but come on ATS, how are we supposed to quote from a source with three sentences, that's kind of ridiculous.

So, in my understanding, Mr Simmon's has a known track record of failed predictions. Does his death somehow make these proven-to-be-false theories true in the Sommonsite's minds?

Wow. Guess i'll have a heart attack in the hot tub, and then all my theories about this planet being only 3000 years old will be true!

Back to topic: That is pretty creepy.

I'm not usually the paranoid type, but if that guy posed a significant problem for BP (I said IF - I'm not familiar with him at all) then with billions of dollars on the line, that might be enough reason for some desperate people to do desperate things.

A couple of billion dollars is a lot of motive.

Please old wise one, enlighten us to all his failed predictions.

I'll wait right here.

i am neither old nor wise.

mr simmons failed predictions are well documented.

his "natural gas cliff" prediction from the early 2000's comes to mind off the top of my head, but feel free to peruse some of the numerous sites that make what are, imo, very valid critiques of his mental capacity.

theenergycollective.com...

I'm not really saying I know one way or the other. i'm only saying that him dying doesnt automatically make everything he said true.
