It has become a very strange time indeed when I find myself in complete agreement with an anti-war liberal. In this case it is on the Litvinenko incident, and the argument laid out is an excellent synopsis of my posts on this matter. My impression of liberals has been inching upward recently, as I see […]

One of the truly under reported aspects of the Litvinenko incident is how all the players in this mystery are linked together. Even the suspected poisoners (for those who subscribe to the assassination theory) are associates with ties to Boris Berezovsky and Litvinenko. It is well known that Lugovoi had ties to Berezovsky, but apparently […]

In a strange twist to a strange story one of the key players in the litvinenko incident has been arrested: Police today arrested an Italian security expert who met former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko the day he fell ill from poisoning. Mario Scaramella was arrested in Naples, where he landed on his way back from […]

A lot of people here who adhere to the theory that the Litvinenko incident was an assassination and not a smuggling effort have queried where is the money trail. It is clear a money trail will be the nail in the coffin for those thought to be involved with this incident because it is as […]

I noticed this Powerline post which linked to an article on Brian Ross’ ABC News The Blotter site which describes the enivitability of a terrorist attack in the UK around Christmas: British intelligence and law enforcement officials have passed on a grim assessment to their U.S. counterparts, “It will be a miracle if there isn’t […]

This article describes how Polonium-210 is an optimal choice for a dirty bomb, while trying to claim it was a brillian choice for assassination (which clearly cannot be the conclusion of the Litvinenko incident since it failed at going undetected). With the yet to be explained discrepency of the Litvinenko dose (a grain of salt) […]

This article on Scaramella, the man who met with Litvinenko for a 3:00 PM lunch at the Itsu sushi restaurant in Picadilly Circus, London, illustrates what a mystery this man is and how is background has all the signs of a covert agent. If there was an assassin, he would be a candidate. In a […]

After some reflection on my earlier post regarding claims by an ex-Russian working for MI-6 that he knew the Litvinenko murderer, I am not too concerned about eating any crow on this Polonium story yet. The biggest problem with this guy’s claims is he cannot explain the three smuggling trips seen with Lugovoi and Litvinenko […]

According to an ex-KGB officer in London I might have to eat some Polonium crow on the smuggling angle of this story: Gordievsky claimed he knew who the murderer was on the fourth day after it happened. He said that British experts also knew it, “but they have been doing everything step by step, as […]

Three more people have shown up contaminated with Polonium-210. They are hotel workers with two coming from the Millenium Hotel (Oct 30th – Nov 1st) and one from the Sheraton Park Lane (Oct 25-27th): Three new people have tested positive for low levels of the radioactive element that killed Alexander Litvinenko, it was disclosed today.
