R.I.P.

R.I.P.

:( This is very tragic. This man had true honor. He sacrificed his own career for what he knew was right.

Bad news

There is now one less politician with honour and integrity
And there have never been many :(

Conspiracy theories, anyone?

Thanks for clearing that up, Philip. I told my friend that it was author Robin Cook (Coma) that died.  :-[

Here you go Phil.. I found one for you!!

At this point no one can rule one way or another how he died.

If it were truly one single, isolated case of a high-profile political figure feeling good enough to be walking the slopes alone in the remote Scottish countryside and then succumbing to a heart attack, it would have been a smart move for the authorities to clear the air with the coroner's report.

It is the combination of the sudden deaths of both Kelley and Cook -- both highly principled men strongly opposed to the Iraq War; both dying in remote, public areas alone with no witnesses -- that prompts one to talk about the POSSIBILITY of a conspiracy.

Such suspicion is therefore hardly something plucked out of the blue sky over the Wuthering Heights.

Remember how Kelley's death was quickly ruled a suicide under mysterious circumstances and how there was a strongly reactive commotion to his alleged suicide because the world did not believe that he could have killed himself at the wrong place at the wrong time taking so many secrets about the war with him. He simply wasn't such an irresponsible man.

The man simply knew too much and had become a menace to the world-conquering Oligarchs.

Now Robin Cook COULD BE in the same category. He simply knew too much in his former capacity as the House leader and Foreign Secretary, and the Oligarchs would never have felt secure with him around especially now that the war has become more unpopular in the aftermath of the London bombings traceable to the al Qaeda.

There is no ifs or buts about it -- the Oligarchs have a big stake in Middle East oil and the Iraq War is not going well for them.

To them, Robin Cook was an irreconcilable foe, and they might have wanted to make an example out of him.

It is a pity that Mr. Cook still trusted his own government after he quitted his job -- enough to walk around alone in remote areas, oblivious to the forces of evil that were catching up with him.

Come to think of it, it is paradoxical but true that folks like Lee TH and Dick Cheney -- evil men on the high end of the immorality spectrum -- do not die of sudden deaths no matter how many heart attacks they have had in the past. Who says evil doesn't pay?

Maybe -- just maybe -- Satan is so aghast at the immorality of such folks that he feels he must delay their entry to Hell as much as possible, lest they become candidates better qualified than he is for his job in the Nadir
