Ex-Russian PM Fell Mysteriously Ill | |
2006-11-30 | |
Russia's former Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar, architect of the country's market reforms, has suffered a sudden, unexplained and violent illness on a visit to Ireland, The Financial Times reported. He fell ill last week, a day after Alexander Litvinenko, a former KGB spy, died in London from an apparent radiation poisoning. Gaidar is now in a stable condition at an undisclosed Moscow hospital, undergoing tests. He's dead. That's the last we'll hear of him. In a telephone interview with the FT, 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.
Brilliant Anatoly, how do you do it? Gaidar is one of Russian President Vladimir Putin's softer critics and his daughter is a leader of an opposition movement. Gaidar, who heads an economic think-tank in Moscow, has close connections with the government and occasionally advises them on economic matters. | |

#9 I admit I love a good conspiracy, but I really don't think Putin is responsible. Like Cheney said, if Pooty wanted them dead, they would be and no one would know it was murder. Besides the Russian Polonium poisonings, which any state sponsor of terrorism would have access to, there are other billionaires whose wealth probably is not honest who have met their deaths, like Hariri. I lean more to others have nefarious motives, such as the Islamofascist AQ and Iran, and even NK. Moscow was on the counterfeit superdollar distribution route, from NK and Hong Kong to the UK. Elected officials are easy to blame, but how do you silence those with power and flashy wealth but are unaccountable to anyone? Causing public panic and all fingerpointing at each other is typical terrorism. |

#2 Gaidar is probably getting radiotherapy in Moscow at the moment. His death will be reported as due to some soothing cause. |

#1 See also NEWSMAX > BARRY BARBER article > EXPOSING RUSSIA. In sum, Russia hates that she lost the Cold War - more importantly for the USA-World, Russia feels no disconnect from her dark, bloody, oppressive Commie past, but yearnings. |
