2 old grumps …

When will you add the last decade of murders to your list? I have many friends who could help write the list.

You forgot Dr. James E. Mace, the American Holodomor historian medically murdered in 2004, a few months after we attended the United Nations Holodomor Genocide Exhibition Opening Event. Jim was badly beaten, and in the hospital he was given an anti-coagulant drug and bled to death all the faster from a ruptured spleen. The ambulance his family had called was officially called-off. Guess what entity had the power to do that. Putin is quoted as threatening to use medical murder, and has done so along with the default arranged car accidents, window walks, balcony plunges, poisonings, etc.

A couple of days before his death, Jim wrote to me, β€œBe careful,” because, as he phrased it, β€œweird things are happening here.” The next I heard, he was dead. Note that the drugs giving for coagulation and anticoagulation are very distinctly and differently marked to prevent any accidental tragedy. This was murder, plain and simple.

At what point does murder become defined as assassination? Murder is killing; assassination has a political or ideological basis, so I gather from the definition difference and in light of Jim’s vast scope of knowledge about the Holodomor Genocide that the Soviets always and the Ruzzianz still deny occurred but which killed 10.5 million people, he was assassinated. No pretentiousness about it, as the dictionary makes the wordchoice clear.

Rest in honoured peace, Jim. The good work you began so well continues.

As you mention the British Litvinenko investigation, I'm wondering if you've been following the recent similar hearings into the death of Dawn Sturgess, who was allegedly killed by discarded Novichok used to not-quite-murder the Skripals in Salisbury in 2018. I've not followed the Litvinenko case, but if it is as preposterous as the UK's Skripal narrative that's being waved through there, then I wouldn't put much weight on it.

I’m not clear why you are describing 9-year-old newspaper articles. Interesting, to be sure, but why not more contemporary items?
