Poison PsyOp Rolls On
The twists and turns continue in the Litvinenko affair.
It's like a Russian version of the David Kelly suicide, eh?
| Quote: | Moscow points the finger of blame
at billionaire exile Boris Berezovsky
London Times Online, Tony Halpin in Moscow, Richard Beeston and Daniel McGrory
The Kremlin mounted a concerted campaign yesterday to point the finger of suspicion at the billionaire businessman Boris Berezovsky over the death of his friend, Alexander Litvinenko, after traces of radioactive polonium-210 were found at the London offices of the exiled Russian oligarch.
Senior figures in the Russian establishment lined up to implicate Mr Berezovsky, who employed and funded the former KGB spy.
The billionaire, who has been granted asylum in Britain, last night issued a statement mourning Mr Litvinenko’s death and saying that he had “complete faith” that Scotland Yard would conduct a “thorough and professional investigation”.
Detectives are understood to want to question Mr Berezovsky in further detail about the events of November 1, the day that Mr Litvinenko fell ill.
Mr Berezovsky has declined to explain publicly why Mr Litvinenko, who was recently given British citizenship, visited his headquarters in Mayfair that day.
The billionaire has accused President Putin’s regime of being behind the murder.......
......Police have questioned Mario Scaramella, an Italian nuclear expert who met Mr Litvinenko at a sushi bar in Piccadilly, where evidence of the radioactive poison was found. So far polonium-210 has been found at seven locations across London.
At one of those sites — 25 Grosvenor Street, the offices of Erinys, an international security company — a spokesman said that Mr Litvinenko did not work for them but had been visiting a friend there.
As Kremlin sources made their claims against Mr Berezovsky, a number of prominent politicians in Moscow named him publicly as a key figure in the affair.
Konstantin Kosachev, head of the Duma’s foreign affairs committee, said that Mr Litvinenko was linked with “certain oligarchs, including Mr Berezovsky, who in recent years have been deprived of the chance to buy corrupt power with stolen money, and apparently cannot accept this”.
In the past Russia has tried to extradite him on financial charges but the request was refused by Britain after Mr Berezovsky argued that the charge was politically motivated.

So, that seems to be the Russian 'mainstream' domestic
presentation of events for the Russian masses.
But it's not the only spin on the poisoning.
There is an 'alternative' version of things.
Luckily, that bastion of fearless reporting
and conspiracy theories, the London Times,
brings to our attention an article in the
Moscow Times from a 'fearless' journalist:

Russian journalist points finger at Putin over Litvinenko death
London Times Online, Wednesday, 29 November 2006
Robbie Millen
Yulia Latynina has cojones. She is a Russian journalist who is willing to point the finger at Putin's security apparatus over Litvinenko's death. This is her pay-off in her Moscow Times opinion article
| Quote: | Putin has surrounded himself with friends who were not trained to run businesses or to run the country. They were trained to carry out special operations. They were trained to eliminate enemies of the regime. And when there aren't any real enemies, they have to be created. For some reason, as more enemies of the regime are eliminated, their number continues to grow. And Putin is left alone, surrounded by enemies from whom only his friends can save him.
http://www.themoscowtimes.com/stories/2006/11/29/007.html |
A brave woman.
http://timesonline.typepad.com/comment/2006/11/yulia_latynina_.html |
A brave woman? Or a well connected one. Good question.
But there is another minor point about her article. It mentions
three consequences of the poisoning. But I can find only two
in the article. Did somebody edit her article? :
| Quote: | Litvinenko's death could have three consequences. First, an apostate has been silenced, potentially sending a warning to anyone who might betray the security services. At shooting ranges where intelligence agents hone their skills, pictures of Litvinenko used to hang on the targets. Perhaps when the great illusion fell apart the pictures were swapped for the original.
Second, his death could turn Russia into a rogue state. In the final analysis regimes are not divided into parliamentary and presidential. They are divided into regimes that are capable of poisoning the opposition with polonium-210 and those that are not. I doubt that President Vladimir Putin will find it easy to explain to his buddy, U.S. President George W. Bush, that Politkovskaya was whacked by renegade thugs. Were the people who slipped Litvinenko the polonium-210 no more than thugs, too?
If Russian agents carried out the operation to eliminate Litvinenko, they did so with no more elegance than we saw in the case of Chechen rebel leader Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev, who was killed in 2004 in a car blast in Qatar.
There was no need for elegance in the Litvinenko case, however. The polonium seems to have been left like a spy's calling card -- not to prove to the world that Russia is run by the security services, but to prove this to Putin.
Putin has surrounded himself with friends who were not trained to run businesses or to run the country. They were trained to carry out special operations. They were trained to eliminate enemies of the regime. And when there aren't any real enemies, they have to be created.
For some reason, as more enemies of the regime are eliminated, their number continues to grow. And Putin is left alone, surrounded by enemies from whom only his friends can save him.
Yulia Latynina hosts a political talk show on Ekho Moskvy radio.

And still the angles multiply.
Gaidar is a soft critic of Putin.
Hardly a candidate for elimination.
But he just got rather ill :
| Quote: | Mystery illness hits former Russian PM
By Arkady Ostrovsky in Moscow, November 28 2006
Yegor Gaidar, Russia’s former prime minister and the architect of the country’s market reforms, last week suffered a sudden, unexplained and violent illness on a visit to Ireland, a day after Alexander Litvinenko, a former KGB spy, died in London from an apparent radiation poisoning.
Mr Gaidar is now in a stable condition at an undisclosed Moscow hospital, undergoing tests. In a telephone interview with the FT, Mr Gaidar said the doctors had so far been unable to identify the cause of the violent vomiting and bleeding that he suffered during a conference in Ireland.....
......“I rushed after him and found him lying on the floor, unconscious. He was vomiting blood and also bleeding from the nose for about 35 minutes,” Ms Genieva said. Mr Gaidar was taken to James Connolly Memorial Hospital in Blanchardstown, where he was treated overnight. The following morning, Mr Gaidar had asked to be discharged and, after a visit to the Russian embassy, was put on a flight back to Moscow.

But to cap it all, radiation has just been found on a couple of BA planes:
| Quote: |
Radiation found on 2 British Airway jetliners
CNN, November 29, 2006
LONDON, England (AP) -- Authorities found small traces of radiation on two British Airways 767 jetliners Wednesday, as investigators widened their search for clues into the poisoning death of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko.
Home Secretary John Reid disclosed the search following a meeting with COBRA, the government's emergency committee. Reid said two planes had been tested so far and that another would be tested.
The initial results of the forensic tests had shown very low traces of a radioactive substance onboard two aircraft, British Airways said in a statement.
The company added that the investigation is confined to the three planes, which will remain out of service until further notice.
High doses of polonium-210 -- a rare radioactive element usually manufactured in specialized nuclear facilities -- were found in Litvinenko's body, and traces of radiation have been found at sites in London connected with the investigation of his death.
http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/11/29/uk.spy.ba.ap/index.html |
Apparently Polonium-210, or some radioactive substance has been found
scattered over half of London, by this stage (grin). And now it shows up
on a couple of BA planes?!
But why? Certainly not to poison Litvinenko.
It's only a problem if you ingest it.
Hardly worth sprinkling it all over the place in the hope that Litvinenko
might accidentally lick it up off some furniture by mistake.
If you want to poison this guy, you just get Polonium-210 into food or
drink that he is going to consume. Simple. No mess. No further
contamination.
So, all this is certainly PsyOp. But not necessarily vaporware.
PsyOp can ride on top of legitimate strategic objectives.
Question is: What objectives, both for Putin and/or the G8/NWO ?
For starters, definitely an anti-nuke angle as pointed out by HocusLocus.

(2006/11/29 ~ 2006/11/01 07:04 copied below)
AXIS INFORMATION AND ANALYSIS (AIA): AIA is an information agency that unites professionals having years of experience in collecting and analyzing information about Asia and Eastern Europe. AIA's main attention is focused upon those states that constitute a threat to regional and international security, as well as upon areas of ethnic and religious conflict. At the same time, AIA follows the events in those countries that are going through political and socio-economic cataclysms.
Specific features of the information: The Worldwide Web is full of current information on Asia and Eastern Europe. Most of it is rather fragmentary and shallow. That is why it is rather difficult to understand the processes taking place in this region. Moreover, the systematization and processing of the separate items demands an enormous amount of time. AIA`s goal is to perform a complex analysis of information on the current issues of this region. That is the reason why our website contains such a considerable amount of reference material.
Axisglobe.com website: Website of the agency exists since May, 2005. All articles are published in English, part of them being translated into Russian and Turkish. Since February, 2006, we also have a Russian version of our website – www.axisglobe-ru.com.
News: AIA website has a news service that functions all week long. The news are divided into two categories:
Exclusive news – items that we receive from our own sources, who take part in certain events;
007 news – items about the secret services, as well as their former and present employees.
Sources of information: AIA uses materials from electronic and printed mass media; books, specialized periodicals, academic editions, officially published governmental documents, and public archives from different countries. AIA collects information in the framework of various political, academic, and commercial events (press-conferences, symposia, seminars, exhibitions, fairs). Furthermore, AIA’s highly professional staff uses its personal sources in governmental bodies, and in commercial and academic circles of the countries in the specified region.

We were young and our happiness dazzled us with its strength. But there was also a terrible betrayal that lay within me like a Merle Haggard song at a French restaurant. ... I could not tell the girl about the woman of the tollway, of her milk white BMW and her Jordache smile. There had been a fight. I had punched her boyfriend, who fought the mechanical bulls. Everyone told him, "You ride the bull, senor. You do not fight it." But he was lean and tough like a bad rib-eye and he fought the bull. And then he fought me. And when we finished there were no winners, just men doing what men must do. ...
"Stop the car," the girl said. There was a look of terrible sadness in her eyes. She knew about the woman of the tollway. I knew not how. I started to speak, but she raised an arm and spoke with a quiet and peace I will never forget.
"I do not ask for whom's the tollway belle," she said, "the tollway belle's for thee."
The next morning our youth was a memory, and our happiness was a lie. Life is like a bad margarita with good tequila, I thought as I poured whiskey onto my granola and faced a new day.

I hadn't anticipated the airline groundings and sudden irradiation of London twist. Yes, a chinook of hot air, but not vaporware after all. l
I emailed my friend in Ukraine to hear how the story's being spun over there, here's the reply.

"Ormond" : What about this 'scandal' with the death of this Litvinenko, supposedly Polonium 210?
"S", Ukraine : Very artificial...
"Ormond" > Today they're finding polonium radiation all over London, grounded an airliner. What do you think of these events?
"S", Ukraine : Right. They prepare idiots and srawd of cows to the next their blood plan... Unfortunately...We are before a turning point of history, I think. More- during our meeting. It is not possible to write everyuthing in mail. You understand me? |

While general gibbering terror is nice, nuclear waste disposal issues are the U.S.'s domestic way of shocking the nuclear monkey back into his cage.
Google News search ranked by date: quoted phrase "nuclear waste"
They index one month -- about 1,780 results for quoted phrase "nuclear waste"
I haven't... has anyone been following no-nuke sentiment lately? If there is one forming, if a rising psyop bubble formed before Litvinenko's death sourcing back by date might reveal its origins, for correlation to other events of the time..
The rule of advertising is brand, brand, brand. Get your product's name out there and follow-up to establish the spin later. So Scaramella is a victim too and he was not targeted lightly. Though it's too early to tell -- since radiation is easily detectable in small amounts it is possible that this "significant amount in urine", while it does establish ingestion it may not be a death sentance. Casual contact with tableware while eating...? It's infuriating how little detail is offered out in pieces: if I was with someone who had been poisoned, I would strive to remember and tell every little detail about the encounter down to the act of eating (for example, I eat sushi with fingers, some use chopsticks).
I expect that his characterization here as running an "organisation that tracks nuclear waste" will get everyone's knickers in a twist, because reports delving into his past for 'backgrounder' stories will carry us all the way back to the breakup ot the former USSR and the perils of disarmament and disposal. And still further back to the "Dream of the Blue Turtles" itself. Which is irrelevant to saving the world from perpetual war and ultimate disaster by moving away from oil, but hey, what do I know?
Another Scaramella story, thanks for the other "just the fax, ma'am".
| Quote: | Poisoned spy's friend contaminated with polonium
BY JOHN HIGGINSON - Friday, December 1, 2006
The Italian scientist who met the poisoned former spy Alexander Litvinenko is contaminated with a 'significant' amount of polonium-210 according to reports today.
A doctor delivered the results to Nuclear expert professor Mario Scaramella, 38, at around 2pm today according to sources.
Scaramella was found to have a 'significant quantity' of the poison in his urine.
The levels found indicated that the professor had 'ingested' the radioactive substance rather than 'just shaking hands' or being in the same room with a carrier.
Mr Scaramella met the Russian ex-spy at a London sushi bar before he fell ill. He worked with Litvinenko on investigations into activities of the Russian secret services.
The security expert, who runs an organisation that tracks nuclear waste, said Litvinenko passed him secret information on the smuggling of nuclear material from Russia.
He is the first person to test positive since Mr Litvinenko's death sparked a radiation alert.
Mr Scaramella is in Britain in connection with the Litvinenko investigations and insisted he did not put the radioactive poison in Mr Litvinenko's food.
The post mortem examination on the body of Alexander Litvinenko has started at the Royal London Hospital Scotland Yard has confirmed. |
Here is a sweet little [non Middle Eastern source of energy] bikkie that sounds immediate, that will take years to develop, and not really make a big dent in foreign oil dependence, to toss to the Democrats to make them feel better while they ramp up the No-Nukes 'not in my backyard' push, to keep nuclear energy solutions off the table. God help us.
| Quote: | House to Vote on Offshore Drilling Bill
By BEN EVANS, The Associated Press
Dec 1, 2006 12:47 PM
WASHINGTON - House Republicans agreed Friday to move a compromise offshore drilling bill passed by the Senate this summer that would open new territory in the Gulf Coast area to oil rigs and create a cash cow for nearby states.
With time running out on the party's majority rule, GOP leaders decided to send the measure to the floor for a vote next week, Kevin Madden, a spokesman for Majority Leader John Boehner said.
It wasn't clear, however, whether Republican leaders would press for its passage or simply offer it up for a vote anticipating it would fail. They have previously blocked it, hoping for a more ambitious bill that would open coastal waters across the country to drilling unless a state objects.
The bill would allow new oil and natural gas development in 8.3 million acres of federally controlled waters in the eastern-central Gulf of Mexico, with supporters saying it would help ease tight markets, particularly for natural gas. The Senate passed the bill 71-25 in August.
Along with opening new territory, the bill would sharply increase royalty shares for Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Texas from less than 2 percent to 37.5 percent. In 2017, the new royalty formula would apply to all oil and gas produced in the Gulf, not just from the 8.3 million acres newly opened.
A leading opponent of the Senate bill, House Resources Committee Chairman Richard Pombo, R-Calif., lost his seat in the Nov. 7 election.
Another staunch opponent, Rep. John Peterson, R-Pa., said he still believes the measure is too modest but would support it as an incremental improvement. |

Then there's Iran on November 14, as Litvinenko is ailing (poisoned 1-Nov, died 24-Nov)
'enriched' Plutonium traces found
I just love crimes of possession: they empower the most ruthless to prey on the most innocent. That is not to say I personally do not think Iran is enrighing uranium, but 'traces' don't cut it for me, alone. The nature of these substances, as it is for unlawful drugs, is such that one dirty cop with a lead badgefull can plant a little presumption-of-guilt where it is desired. IAEA inspectors may be noble in intent, but they are not impartial observers and it only takes one.
Crimes of possession are broken by design and the concept is unsalvagable, because by precept it grants ultimate power and temptation to those who are attracted to such positions. A beat cop once told me when they broke off into a regular and "Blue Lightning [Drug] Strike Force" he was glad to see those apples go, now he and his buddies could sleep easier at night. This is a cop speaking.
| Quote: | from 'Whizbang!'
International Atomic Energy experts have found unexplained plutonium and enriched uranium traces in a nuclear waste facility in Iran and have asked Tehran for an explanation, an IAEA report said Tuesday.
The report prepared for next week's meeting of the 35-nation IAEA also faulted Tehran for not cooperating with the agency's attempts to investigate suspicious aspects of Iran's nuclear program that have lead to fears it might be interested in developing nuclear arms. As well, the four-page paper made available to The Associated Press confirmed that Iran continues uranium enrichment experiments in defiance of the U.N. Security Council.
Earlier Tuesday, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that Iran would soon celebrate completion of its nuclear fuel program and claimed the international community was ready to accept it as a nuclear state.
Iran has been locked in a standoff with the West over its nuclear program. The United States and its European allies have been seeking a U.N. Security Council resolution imposing sanctions on Tehran for refusing to suspend uranium enrichment.
"Initially, they (the U.S. and its allies) were very angry. The reason was clear: They basically wanted to monopolize nuclear power in order to rule the world and impose their will on nations," Ahmadinejad told a news conference.
"Today, they have finally agreed to live with a nuclear Iran, with an Iran possessing the whole nuclear fuel cycle," he said. He did not elaborate.
President Bush said Monday there was no change in his position that Iran must first suspend uranium enrichment before there can be any dialogue with Tehran.
"Our focus of this administration is to convince the Iranians to give up its nuclear weapons ambitions. That focus is based on our strong desire for there to be peace in the Middle East. And an Iran with a nuclear weapon would be a destabilizing influence," Bush said Monday. |

Tuesday, November 14, 2006
The centrifuges could make more than 44 pounds of weapons grade uranium each month.
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad greets the Iranian media before starting a news conference in Tehran. Ahamdinejad has defiantly announced the ultimate aim of Iran's atomic drive was to install tens of thousands of uranium-enriching centrifuges to produce nuclear fuel.(AFP)
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahamdinejad announced that Iran would start installing thousands of uranium-enriching centrifuges by early next year:
Despite the threat of UN sanctions over Tehran's refusal to hold back its nuclear programme, Ahmadinejad said that the long-term target of Iran should be to install 60,000 centrifuges to enrich uranium.
Iran has said it is looking to install 3,000 centrifuges by March 2007, in itself a massive step from the two cascades of 164 centrifuges apiece it has currently at its Natanz plant to enrich uranium on a research scale.
"We want to produce nuclear fuel and eventually we should go for 60,000 centrifuges. We should continue along this path. We are at the beginning of the wave," Ahmadinejad told a news conference Tuesday.
Experts say that 50,000 centrifuges would normally be sufficient to produce 20 kilos (44 pounds) of weapons grade uranium in under a month, but Iran vehemently denies it wants the bomb.
Also, today International Atomic Energy Officials announced that they found traces of unexplained plutonium and highly enriched uranium at a nuclear waste facility in Iran. The IAEA also said it could not confirm Iranian claims that its nuclear activities were exclusively nonmilitary unless Tehran increased its openness.
(Via LGF)
Ahmadinejad also said that Iran is ready to talk with the US once it changes it's attitudes.

He has to work fast now, too.
He got his Democrat allies in a position to hinder any action against him on the US's part. The Democrats will do all they can to stop any action against him by demanding "summits" and going through the UN (which the Islamofascists own but we pay for)to buy him as much time as possible. He already has Europe and the UN kissing his arse and knows they will do nothing but wet their pants and cower before him. So he now has the green light from the UN, Europe and the Democrats to try to destroy Israel.

At least he can't buy them through the AQ Khan ring from Mitutoyo anymore. So the likely suspects on the provisioning side are: Russia, China or North Korea.
Or all three.
And nice to know that the Pakistani nuclear designs went into the AQ Khan Ring, too. Add in some special sauce of using Iraqi nuclear scientists that fled to Syria and having distracted the entire world with Iran itself and soon you get your first nuclear device. In Syria. Which has North Korean missiles it bought in the 1990's.
Surprise everyone with getting Syria a nuke first, and then while the world community fusses make one for yourself while they are distracted. This is a *winning* strategy...

Lame Ducks and Dirty Bombs
This illustrates the problem with not being able to provide a credible non-nuclear deterrent as the (D)emocrats have undermined the nation's will to use conventional force. This dooms us to rely upon, and eventually be forced to use, nuclear force in retaliation.
Because... for the umpteenth time... Iran has been caught red-handed...
So... warhead designs, traces found in plants, plants razed to hide evidence, plants built without generators or transmission lines for electrical power they obviously don't intend to produce, multiple warhead missiles only suited to nuclear weapons tested and deployed, fuel enriched for plants not even built... Take your pick of the "caught red-handed" moments of the last couple of years.
Why is the scale of enrichment so vast? They don't have plants to use that uranium... so... what else could it be used for except weapons?
Anyone believe that they won't use a "dirty" nuclear bomb on Jerusalem? New York? London? Madrid? Paris? Bali? Moscow?

Amid the newsbite noise of people who are sure they think they know who's behind it, finally real forensic progress: Millenium Hotel the likely source of contact; two associates with significant exposure. This stuff is great for great for planting herrings. Sherlock Holmes award to 'unidentified senior source',
"This [bus] ticket helps us prove Litvinenko's death was not a suicide or an accident," an unidentified senior source within the Metropolitan Police's Counter-Terrorism Command told the newspaper. ~Daily Mirror
for helping us along by ruling out the possibility of suicide or industrial accident. Though if the ticket shared a suit pocket with a hankerchief and Litvinenko habitually used one, and had already established a pattern of drinking at that bar to provide the opportunity for a set-up, could have been a 'clumsy napkinless false-waitron' play.

7 STAFFERS SHOW SIGNS OF EXPOSURE TO LETHAL ISOTOPE
By Kim Murphy
Los Angeles Times
LONDON - Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko most likely was poisoned at the bar of a hotel where he met with two other Russians, both of whom are currently in hospitals showing symptoms of radiation sickness, health investigators said Friday.
For weeks, investigators had zeroed in on a different location, the Piccadilly Circus sushi restaurant where Litvinenko had lunch, believing that was a likely location for his mysterious poisoning with radioactive polonium-210.
But that theory has been shaken by medical evidence showing that seven people who worked at the bar of the Millennium Hotel in London's tony Mayfair district also have been exposed. The bar has been placed under quarantine.
Police have refused to say where they think the poisoning took place -- a crucial question, because it may be the best clue to who did it, and why. One law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said detectives had made no final judgment.
But the medical evidence suggests that the poisoning probably took place at the bar, Michael Clarke of Britain's Health Protection Agency said in an interview Friday. ``The monitoring of the staff in the Millennium bar was done for public-health purposes, but it obviously has implications for the police forensic analysis -- implications of timing, and possible scenarios for the administration of polonium.''
Clarke emphasized that he is looking only at medical evidence, and not at whatever the police investigation has turned up. But the fact that seven bar employees are exposed is significant, he said, especially since no sushi bar employees, and no hospital employees, have similarly tested positive.
``Given that Mr. Litvinenko had a very significant quantity of polonium-210 administered in some way, there are obvious possibilities that small amounts of that could have been left on, for example, a glass or a table, that subsequently led to employees being exposed. But until there is a proper forensic examination, I really don't want to speculate on that,'' Clarke said.
On Nov. 1, Litvinenko met two Russians at the Millennium's Pine Bar: Andrei Lugovoy, a businessman and former KGB colonel, and a second businessman, Dmitry Kovtun. Russian news organizations reported Friday that Lugovoy, who was a friend of Litvinenko's, is now in a Russian hospital with apparent radiation damage to several organs. Kovtun also is reported to be seriously ill.
Later that day, Litvinenko went to a London hospital with symptoms of what doctors eventually determined was polonium poisoning. He died Nov. 23.
The former Russian security agent, who became a bitter critic of the Russian government, told friends that he suspected the poisoner could have been one of the two Russians or the man he met at the sushi bar, Italian security consultant Mario Scaramella.
Scaramella also has tested positive for exposure to polonium-210, but not in amounts sufficient to sicken him so far. He says he was meeting with Litvinenko to warn him of a possible attempt on his life.
Litvinenko also said he believed that the perpetrator, whoever it was, was acting on behalf of the Russian government. The Russian government has denied that. |
| Quote: | Litvinenko 'poisoned at hotel'
11/12/2006 10:11 - (SA)
London - A bus ticket found in the coat pocket of ex Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko indicates he was poisoned in a central London hotel where he met with two associates, the Daily Mirror tabloid said on Monday.
Citing police sources, the newspaper said that the ticket was bought near Litvinenko's central London home on November 1, the day he fell ill, three weeks before he died.
He used the bus to travel in to central London where his meetings that day took place.
According to unnamed police sources cited by the Mirror, the bus he boarded has been checked and was not contaminated by the radioactive substance polonium-210, large quantities of which were found in Litvinenko's urine.
Because the hotel is the first known place he visited, the tabloid said, that indicates he was poisoned there, because high levels of polonium were detected there.
On November 1, Litvinenko met with Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitri Kovtun at the hotel, and also met with Italian academic Mario Scaramella at a sushi bar that day.
"This ticket helps us prove Litvinenko's death was not a suicide or an accident," an unidentified senior source within the Metropolitan Police's Counter-Terrorism Command told the newspaper.
"He entered central London from his home without a trace of polonium."
"If he had already received the dose, it would have shown up on his bus seat. But the bus tested negative." |

At last somebody in oficial reports is starting to question
events --raising the same issue as has come up on this forum:
| Quote: | German expert doubts Russian involvement in polonium
www.chinaview.cn 2006-12-12 06:37:37
BERLIN, Dec. 11 (Xinhua) -- A German radiation expert doubted Monday that Russia involved in the polonium-210 poisoning of former Russian spy Alexander Litvenenko.
Sebastian Pflugbeil, president of the German Society for Radiation Protection, told ARD national television that he would not rule out the possibility that the poisoners had deliberately strewn traces of the isotope in London and Hamburg to mislead people.
"If you keep polonium in a tightly shut vial, you can transport it without contamination and don't leave any dirty trail," he said, adding it was too obvious to be credible.
"Either these killers were rank amateurs, or, and I think this is also plausible, a trail has been deliberately created to cast suspicion in a certain direction," Pflugbeil said.
"What is remarkable here is the way it was done," he said, "Secret agents are normally trained to kill without leaving any evidence. But in this case, it's not just a trail. They have practically bulldozed a superhighway all the way to Moscow. They wanted to make a spectacle of it."
Pflugbeil, a physicist who has previously studied how East German secret agents abuse radioactive material, said that he knew of no case in which secret services had used polonium to kill an opponent.
German police had found on Saturday "indications" of radiation in Hamburg in Dmitry Kovtun's ex-wife's department. His ex-wife, two children and her new partner were contaminated with the highly radioactive substance.
Doctors were trying to establish whether the substance has got into their body. They say if it did not penetrate into the body, there will be no life risk.
Kovtun is a business man who met former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko in London on Nov. 1, the day the former Russian spy was believed to have fallen ill. Litvinenko died on Nov. 23 in London hospital, while Kovtun was reportedly ill.
A team of German police and radiation experts are investigating into the case.

| Quote: | Russian President and ex-KGB spy Vladimir Putin is fast becoming
a pop icon thanks to a racy all-girl band.
Their sticky pop tune called A Man Like Putin can be heard blasting from
Moscow's shops and cars. In the song, the lead singer of the band Singing
Together is fed up with Russia's violent and vodka-guzzling men and
chirps about the usually stern-looking president.
Putin, also celebrated in books and T-shirts, has enjoyed spectacular
popularity since becoming president in 2000 for his tough approach to
restoring law and order after a decade of political and economic turmoil.
Below is the full text of the song:
My boyfriend is in trouble again, / He got into a fight and got stoned
on something, / I am sick of him and so I told him, get out of here, / And
now I want a man like Putin. / A man like Putin, full of energy, / A man
like Putin who doesn't drink, / A man like Putin who wouldn't hurt me, /
A man like Putin who wouldn't run away from me. / I saw him in the news
yesterday, / He was saying the world was at the crossroads, / It's easy
with a man like him at home or out and about, / And now I want a man
like Putin.

Return of Vlad the Destroyer
Ok, so we have this guy Andrei Lugovoy --seeming to play both sides of
the field in the oligarchs versus Putin. But was his arrest in 2001 by
Russian authorities, merely "a legend" --to quote friends of Litvinenko?
What we might call a PsyOp.
If so, then he is an FSB mole all along.
And the spy poisoning trail leads back to ol' Vlad Putin.
So, would Putin be worried about this?
Fuck No!
He wants you to know. Or, rather to suspect without full proof.
Vlad is running a PsyOp on the Russina people. He is in the process of
reinventing himself as a worthy Russian dictator. The move is designed
to scare shitless the ordinary Russians who might oppose him. And it's
subtly designed to remake him as a semi-concealed dictator. PsyOp.
It's also designed for Western consumption.
Vlad is the replacement orge to G. W. Bush.
The PsyWar demands there always be a Stalinesque figure.
The deliberate scattering of plutonium --which made the whole issue
mainstream headline news for days or weeks-- betrays the PsyOp
nature of the whole Litvinenko story. Murder made into headline news.
Plus, it's an anti-nuclear power PsyOp which demonizes radiation and
thus solidifies the bargaining power of Russia's vast oil and gas reserves.

Andrei Lugovoy
05.12.2006 by AIA staff
EXTRACT:
In 1998-99, internal struggle for power in Russia became swiftly aggravated. It was promoted by the approaching parliamentary and presidential elections, deterioration of the President Yeltsin’s health, frequent change of heads of the Government, and a sharp aggravation of situation in the North Caucasus.
Boris Berezovsky was one of the key participants of this struggle. He promoted the appointment of the former FSB Director Vladimir Putin for the Prime Minister in August, 1999. However, soon becoming the President, Putin, leaning on the support of his former KGB-FSB colleagues, headed for cardinal strengthening of the state power that contradicted interests of influential oligarchs, and, first of all, Berezovsky.
As a result, he lost his control over numerous companies and lost his former political influence. In 2000 Berezovsky left Russia, having received political asylum in Great Britain. The same occurred to his closest partner Badri Patarkatsishvili who found a refuge in his native Georgia.
With the crash of empire of the two oligarchs, the majority of their confidants either also had to leave Russia or appeared under investigation on charge in various offences.
According to the AIA’s interlocutor, Lugovoy felt the consequences of the inflamed struggle for power on himself even in the spring of 1999. Then he for the first time was detained by law enforcement bodies. However, at that time his personal contacts and the patronage of influential bosses sufficed for his fast release.
In June, 2001, Lugovoy was arrested the second time, and there was no Berezovsky and Patarkatsishvili’s in Russia already. Then Lugovoy’s name became known to wide Russian public. He was accused that under Patarkatsishvili’s order he tried to organize runaway of Nikolay Glushkov, the former assistant to the general director of Russian airline Aeroflot, who was in custody. Glushkov in his turn, according to investigation, in 1995-97 was an accomplice of Berezovsky in plunder of the large money resources, belonging to Aeroflot. In September 2002, Lugovoy pleaded guilty, and the court sentenced him to imprisonment for the period of 1,2 years. However, as Lugovoy had already spent the specified term in imprisonment before the trial he was released from custody.
Some of Litvinenko’s friends are considering now that the second arrest of Lugovoy was actually "a legend". In their opinion, the FSB aspired to show thus to the disgraced oligarchs that Lugovoy, as well as their other confidants had been pursued by new authority. This ostensibly removed from Lugovoy suspicion in cooperation with his former secret services colleagues that allowed him to further maintain confidential relations with Berezovsky and Patarkatsishvili. The same friends of Litvinenko are claiming that he initially considered Lugovoy a covert agent of the secret services in the entourage of both oligarches.
November 30 Badri Patarkatsishvili himself unexpectedly allowed to understand about existence of such suspicions. Speaking to the Georgian TV channel Imedi, he expressed hope in Lugovoy’s non-participation to the London murder, however, at the same time emphasized that it is a question of the former KGB staff officer. "There is only one truth I agree with, and it is the saying - the former KGB agents do not exist,” added Patarkatsishvili.

hilariously, newsnight last week put out an urgent request to plane spotters !...Kirsty Wark asked all plane spotters to try to find the nuclear plane(s), and gave out their numbers
is that the best the bbc can do ? don't they have better ways of getting this info ?..i'm not sure what the real scoop was - underlying that, but it made the bbc look helpless and bumbling. slick |
