Alexander Goldfarb, the spokesman for Berezovsky (and at times for Litvinenko) has decided to forego any radiation testing for contamination. One of Mr Litvinenko’s closest friends, Alex Goldfarb, a daily visitor to his hospital bedside before his death last Thursday, yesterday said he had declined to be tested for contamination as he believed the risk […]

OK, this is a wild one. A key Russian from the Yeltsin-Berezovsky era who, like Berezovsky, could be considered an oligarch seems to be implicating Berezovsky in the Politkovskaya and Litvinenko deaths, and the sudden Gaida illness: Anatoly Chubais, a top Yeltsin-era government official and now head of the national electricity monopoly, said he suspects […]

Only in the US could one buy non-traceable, ‘no questions asked’ Polonium 210 over thi internet and shipped to the location of your choice in the US (where it can be then transported anywhere). I kid you not. It is the ‘no questions asked’ part that gets me.

The Times UK finally notes in their new timeline and map what I noted two days ago – there is a gap of three hours between the time Litvinenko purchases a newspaper in Picadily Circus at noon and when he meets Mario Scaramella at the Sushi Bar at 3:00 PM. The one location that has […]

Major Update: Contrary to some reporting, the flights of interest go well beyond the Moscow to London flights. – end update Why was Polonium possibly found on two airpplanes? Well, one quick answer to the Airplanes (which I hinted at in this recent post on Mario Scaramella and his lack of contamination) is these are […]

I posted earlier that the two latest sites suspected of contamination were clean (the Sheraton Park Lane and 58 Grosvenor Street), which cleaned up the timeline and made it possible for the Sushi Bar where Litvinenko met Scaramelle to be the original source of the contamination. Well now it seems there are reports going the […]

Typical Pouty James Webb – no wonder Reagen fired the buffoon. The guy lacks an ounce of class or maturity.

The problem with Scaramella being determined ‘clean’ of Polonium today is that the contamination of the Polonium trailed by Litvinenko could have been from particles on clothing – which are harmless unless somehow the particles end up in the mouth and ingested. Since Scaramelle went back to Italy there is no way to determine if […]

I used to do “Flybys” a lot, which are nothing more than a compendium of quick hits on recent news items. I think I will need to get back into the habit given my upcoming work load. So let’s take a Flyby of some important stories (as opposed to much of the news media’s products). […]

This story gets more and more bizarre. It seems Putin was not the only man fingered by Litvinenko on his death bed. He also fingered Italian consultant Scaramella who he lunched with at the Sushi Bar and supposedly handed Litvinenko copies of emails with a hit list of names – including the names of Scaramella, […]
