News of the World phone hacking whistleblower found dead

reply to post by Rockdisjoint


This story just caught my attention on MSN News but you beat me to posting about it....

After recent activities i wasn't expecting to hear anything except maybe Murdoch taking his own life!

It is possible 'Murdoch' had him done but i think it would be way too early to have someone kiled after such revelations.... all fingers would point to Murdoch or someone he knows who could do it.... it's more likely the guy killed himself before someone else could IMO.

Scum of the earth. Hope the man rots soon.

If the evidence was already turned over to the police, what would Murdoch gain from killing the whistle-blower?

Since Murdoch already publicly confessed, what would he gain from such a death?

Thats the interesting question. We shall have to wait and see tomorrow when the "investigation" starts.

Easy

A message to other whistleblowers

"This is how you will end up if you f@@k with us"

That

And he was a material witness

What would he gain from such a death?

Well there is a saying, Silence is bliss.
It's obvious this guy will not be making any noise in the future.

Read one page back.

In short:

Fear and doubt. Anyone with knowledge about this case thinks twice opening his/her mouth now.

Daily Mail are saying it's possible suicide.

Interesting development

Reading some of the comments on that article it really does point out that its readers are really dumb and brainwashed.

It seems odd that the lame stream media as well as a lot of liberals are cheering and egging on an investigation that might lead to the loss of Fox. Does the lame stream media really think Fox viewers will start watching their channel? Talk radio supplies a good 12+ hours of great national information M-F, about 3-6 hours of local stuff, some repeats and miscellaneous other informative content. Weekends pick up some repeats and other alternative topics. I think a loss of Fox will drive Fox viewers to spend more time listening to talk radio and cruising the internet. But, I believe Fox will be spun off as a stand alone company before it could possibly be dragged down by the mess News International finds itself in.

its to early to point fingers in my opinion, but if you look at it as getting rid of evidence. then it should make sense.

also a enquiry is being done i think which will take a year to complete they were saying (will be forgot about by then, maybe thats why). but this guy would surely of been a key part of that enquiry.

I'm surprised that this hasn't been posted yet, unless I missed it, but I did search and I didn't find anything.

Seems like, Murdoch & Co are killing people off now. They will try to blame it on this:

Hoare, who worked on the Sun and the News of the World with Coulson before being dismissed for drink and drugs problems, is said to have been found dead at his Watford home.

But I'm sure we all know what really happened. He stood up to them and they knocked him down -- poor guy.

(visit the link for the full news article)

I submit it could be any of the many thousands of people who lost their jobs and careers as a result of the closing of the paper.

More likely scenario than a Murdoch conspiracy, IMO.

Not sure if it's relevent but The Sun news site is down.

The Sun


Thought it could be interesting due to it's links.


ETA: My friend apparently has a screen shot of the page before it was shut down. She said they were hacked. I'll post it here once I have it if it actually is relevent.

And thats what they exactly would want you to believe
You see, a true whistleblower weighs in the consequences before going out, otherwise they wouldn't have whistle-blowed in the first place. This guy obviously knew the damage he would cause by revealing the phone hackings done by News Corp. Heck, even a documentary was made in BBC panorama - www.bbc.co.uk...

this is my first post here, but been lurking as a non member for a while. to be honest i think this all stinks. there is far too much going on here for anyone to know whats actually happening. Rebekah whatshername resigned the otherday, then got arrested hours afterwards yet the MSM made hardly any comment about it. now this guy is somehow dead, it doesnt add up that he'd kill himself.

also, thesun.co.uk has been hacked, Lulzsec are claiming responsibility for it on Twitter, but if you go to the website and press stop before the re-direct hits you can see that the sun, a news corp paper, has this story listed about 5 articles down the page, whereas everyother british paper website has it as top story, looks like news corp are trying to bury this story tbf..

It was hacked a few minutes ago, anouncing the Death of Murdoch, lulsec claimed it.

Full infowar is on.

for those not able to see this it was it was re directing too,

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Is it such a big jump from phone hacking to silencing the whistleblower? Murdoch & Co. appear to be morally bankrupt. With access to billions of dollars, I'm certain Murdoch & Co. have ways to make a murder look like something else.

At the moment they are saying it's not suspicious and it's from natural causes . A whistleblower dying within days of exposing perhaps the biggest scandal since Watergate is not suspicious? Give me a break.

I smell something that sounds like dishy (and tastes delicious with tartare sauce).

Cheers!

lulsec are saying there is more to come..
