Yeah, that was my question: shouldn’t Scaramella (sp?) be contaminated, too? If other people in the restaurant–which seems to be the first site that was contaminated–got it, he should have at least some trace on him, right? Is he just hanging out at an espresso bar in Rome? If I were he, I’d have checked into a hospital ASAP. Isn’t he worried?

Crosspatch,

The people seem to be customers at the Sushi Bar or the Hotel bar- but no firm reporting.

Give him a document or some other object laced with the stuff and wait for him to smoke a cigarette or eat with his fingers. I have heard reports that others have also come down with symptoms. Any reports yet on who those people are?

Easist way though is to get it onto someone’s hand. People often put their hands to their mouth without washing them first. Especially smokers. Did the guy smoke?

Polonium is in lots of places – it is simply a question of purifying it. Heck, the Courie’s found it in the 1860′s! Yes, it is a small amount – but this trail is enormous. And it would not be contaminating areas if it was all inside Litvinenko. I still think he had a lot on him someplace and inhaled or got it on the tongue somehow. Then walked around dropping Polonium dust or something.

I accidently edited out a sentance after “the stuff is very volitile”. You can place a quantity on a heat source such as a light bulb and much of it will vaporize and can kill you from inhaling for vapor if you get a strong enough whiff of it.

Russian billionaire crashes Ferrari

Nov. 27 (Bloomberg) — Russian billionaire Suleiman Kerimov was placed into a coma after suffering severe burns when the Ferrari he was driving crashed and burst into flames in Nice on the French Riviera on Nov. 25.

Yes, AJ, but all it takes is an amount as small as a particle of cigarette smoke to kill you. Also, the stuff is very volitile.

And guess who is making it …. google on “iran polonium” and there are links going all the way back to 2004. Gee, I wonder why Russia just decided to send those missiles to Iran. Could Iran have done the Russians a favor and demonstrated a weapon at the same time?

AJ,

Okay.

Sue,

Polonium 210 cannot penetrate the skin much at all. It had to be inside him to kill him.

First of all, if the Russians did this, they need to ‘fess up quietly to the British intelligence services because if this wasn’t done by the Russians, the implications are too scary to think about.

That he left a “trail” can mean many things. This material is highly toxic and it also takes an extremely small dose, smaller than you can see with the eye. Were some documents sent to them that were “laced” with this material? Did he get it on his hands when handling the documents? Does he smoke cigarettes or eat Sushi with his bare fingers? All he would need to do is transfer a small portion of this stuff to his mouth.

The main items for me are:

1. It takes a TINY amount of this stuff to kill and over 10 kilos of it have gone missing at one time or another. 10 kilos is probably more than enough for a fatal dose for every human on the planet several times over if it could be delivered to them.

2. We better hope the Russians did this because if they didn’t, the question then turns not only to “who did?” but also “how much more of this stuff do they have?” and “where is it?”.

If people who don’t care if they kill themselves in the course of their actions posses this, God help us. The only good thing is that in 183 days, whoever has this stuff will have only half as much of it as they have now.

Is it official? The polonium was ingested? Or is that a working theory?

By: AJStrata

BlackMinorCA,

Obvously? Well then why did his spokesman finally admit to meeting Litvinenko the day he was traipsing around London? Also, if Polonium-210 is ingested, then it cannot contaminate your surroundings. The skin blocks the Polonium radiation. So that means the Polonium was not inside Litvinenko when he left his trail. Grow up? Are you kidding? Take that hook at of your mouth and engage that thing between your ears.

A corrupt Russian businessman takes up with a defecting KGB agent who run a PR campaign for their Islamo terrorists friends in Chechenya, the one group to actually place a dirty bomb in a major city in 1995, and then these people run into material used in nuclear weapons and you conclude all that is meaningless?

LOL! OK – your blinders seem firmly attached, you can move along now. Nothing to see here.

Berezovsky obviously was contaminated from the hospital visit and or a plant in his own office by the FSB.

Some of you do not realize that this type of Kremlin culture allowed them to liquidate 20-30 million in the last century without the west knowing – the liquidation of one is a walk in the park.

Grow up, really.

Berezovsky is not a nice guy himself…

–The fact is Polonium is not a Bond weapon but a Clouseau class weapon. There are many better ways to silence Litvinenko, if one even felt he was worth silencing. –

I agree. It may not be easy to come by, but it’s a dumb choice for a hit, for obvious reasons. Also, Litvinenko has been bad mouthing Putin for a LONG time and faced trial in Russia 2ce IIRC and was let go.

Berezovsky and in some ways Litvinenko are starting to remind me of the Russian version of VIPS.
