`Kelly
was Murdered' Says UK Intelligence Insider

Shocking
new details about the death of Dr David Kelly emerged today
exclusively on the Alex Jones radio
show. Michael Shrimpton, a UK national security lawyer who was a
guest on the show, revealed that sources within MI5 and MI6 are
`furious' that Kelly was murdered.
Shrimpton
spoke in depth about the details of Kelly's murder on 17th July 2003,
information which has been withheld by the British press.
With
apparent backing from the organisations whose members he claims to
speak for, Shrimpton presented their view that Dr Kelly had been
murdered by a team of assassins and the charade of an apparent suicide
was then played out to cover this up.
Speaking
with impeccable credentials, including contributions to the Journal
for International Security Affairs and having previously given a
closed-doors confidential briefing the US Senate Intelligence
Committee, Shrimpton exploded the much-reported myth that Dr Kelly had
taken his own life.
He spoke
of the probable method of Kelly's death, the group which most likely
carried out the assassination, who arranged it and finally where the
responsibility lies. Additionally, he explained the political context
and motive for Kelly's murder.
David
Kelly went missing on 17th July 2003 and was found dead on 18th July.
In the previous days, Kelly had testified before Parliament's Foreign
Affairs Select Committee that he was not the source of a BBC story
which had accused the Government of making false claims about Iraq's
WMD. When Kelly's body was found, the British press quickly reported
it as a suicide, though several analysts had their doubts.
On
Jones' show, Shrimpton explained how he had learned that David Kelly
was the BBC's source before the BBC disclosed this fact. He went on to
explain that his source from within the intelligence community knew
David Kelly personally, and did not believe that he had committed
suicide. After making their own enquiries, says Shrimpton, this source
determined that Dr Kelly had not committed suicide, but rather had
been assassinated.
Apparently
at ease to discuss these explosive disclosures, Shrimpton explained
that there was advance knowledge of Kelly's death in Whitehall, but
that the deed itself was most likely carried out by the French
external security organisation, DGSE. There was no indication that
anybody in MI5 or MI6 had been involved. He went further by suggesting
that the hit squad itself was composed of Iraqis from the former
regime's Mukhabarat intelligence organisation, recruited from Damascus
with the help of Syria's own intelligence apparatus. They were
apparently then flown into Corsica, seven days prior to the murder. He
doubts that any of the hit-squad are still alive.
Officially,
Kelly's body was said to have been found in a copse, in a wood, but
the forensic tents were set up in the adjacent field, suggesting, says
Shrimpton, that the body was found in the field. This has not been
explained to his satisfaction.
The
incision in Kelly's wrist was probably to conceal the injection of
both Dextroprypoxythene, the active ingredient in Co-Proxamol, and
Succinylcholine, a muscle relaxant, rather than as evidence of his
bleeding to death, as highlighted by a group of six doctors in letters
published in the British press. Shrimpton further agreed with the
doctors by pointing out that Kelly only had one Co-Proxamol tablet in
his body and that this was not sufficient to kill him.
According
to Shrimpton, Kelly was murdered because he had been talking to the
press and there was a fear of what else he might discuss with
journalists. Furthermore, Kelly was due to return to Iraq and may have
learned fresh information on that trip which Whitehall could not
afford to trust him with.
Shrimpton's
appearance on Jones' show gave him the first public opportunity to
bring forward his information, since the story has been effectively
censored by the British Press, who according to Shrimpton are
concerned about losing the pro-Euro Tony Blair as Prime Minister were
they to publish details of Kelly's assassination. Blair's departure,
he says, could threaten Britain's proposed adoption of the Euro as the
national currency.
Whilst
this story begins to circulate in the USA, the coverage in the UK may
well remain nil, whilst maneuvering behind the scenes attempts to
pre-empt Shrimpton's accusation of government-sanctioned murder of one
of its own operatives.
Only
with public support, and a belief that this information should be
widely known, can this information be brought into the wide open and
covered by the mainstream media.

"According
to Skolnick and Bloom, a London newspaper is sitting on a
"firestorm, while insisting key Intel official allow use of his name. He confirms P.M. Tony Blair ordered assassination of MI-6 top scientist, Dr. David Kelly, about to finger Blair on phony data instigating Bush/Blair attack seizing Iraq oil.
Lord Hutton Inquiry, finding of Kelly "suicide" a fraud, Intel official also says.
Story release, Editor says, would oust Bush/Blair."
The
UK Channel 5 television station ran a programme on Friday, called
`Germ Warfare: Dr Kelly's Last Interview'. It details some of Dr
Kelly's history with bio-chem warfare and in particular his role in
covertly inspecting USSR installations.

Mid-week
update

"With
more
time to spare, an update is in order.
The
Financial Times reported last week that the Carlyle Group is handing
$2.1 billion back to shareholders:
"The
Carlyle Group sent a strong signal that the private equity business
was reviving when it said yesterday it would return $2.1bn to
investors because of a superb performance last year.
Glenn
Youngkin, a partner at the US private equity house, said it was the
first year in recent history in which the firm "actually saw
tremendous activity"".
`Tremendous
activity' is frighteningly true - the attack on Iraq allowed the
Carlyle Group to sell its numerous wares to the US Defense Department
in the form of new orders to Carlyle's various subsidiaries.
Click

Carlyle
has been busy in other areas too. A cash-flow and tax management
software company today received $9.2 million in funding from the
Carlyle Group. This would not be particularly interesting were it not
for the fact that today the "Carlyle
Group's Senior Advisor, Charles O. Rossotti, has joined the board of
[Carlyle] directors. Mr. Rossotti served as Commissioner of Internal
Revenue from 1997 to 2002."
Well
ding-a-ling! Ex-Commissioner of the IRS goes to work for the Carlyle
Group, with all the money and influence represented there, and the
Carlyle Group makes a sizeable invetment in a company that makes
software for cash-flow and tax management. What's wrong with this
picture?
And
let's not forget Sherman
Skolnick's coverage of the Carlyle payback, tying characters from
the Queen of England and Bill Clinton to Paul Martin, Prime Minister
of Canada, and George W Bush, into apparent dirty dealings and
pay-offs.
Two
people told me that ITV (UK network television) ran a news story
at around 06:00 this morning about Bush's incomplete military service.
They didn't say it was a story about the release of his salary
records; both individuals told me that the the story was about his
lack of military service. Yet to my knowledge the report was not
repeated and the information not provided by any other news source in
the UK.
But
suddenly..... BBC Newsnight seems to be the hot item of the day.
Peter
Mandelson came out in defence of the Government. Things must be
serious if Rothschild
placeman Mandy has to come out to bat for Blair. He was
criticising those people from `the right' who are dwelling on issues
of intelligence with Iraq and calling into question "the Prime
Minister's honesty and his integrity." It seems that the mere
suggestion that the Prime Minister is crooked is a ThoughtCrime.
According to Mandelson, it's all about `persuasion' - of the rank and
file members of the Labour Party, and of the rest of us so that they
can get away with their dastardly schemes.
Then
Newsnight did a segment about Jeremiah
Duggan's apparent suicide after attending a Schiller Institute
conference, run by Lyndon
LaRouche's wife. What was surprising about their coverage was
their giving airtime to the suggestion that the Queen was the head of
a drug-dealing organisation. (Segment begins 14mins 07sec)
I wasn't
expecting Newsnight to then cross to Tom Carver in Washington DC so
that he and Paxman could discuss George
W Bush's lack of complete military service and the White House's
ridiculous response to the questions. Anyone out there trying to get
the news organisations in the US can use this footage to illustrate
that the BBC can actually shoot straight on this issue. It also
provides a lasting record of Scott McLellan's comments to journalists
about the questioning of Bush's military record. (Segment begins 30
mins 20 sec).
Finally
it ran a story about how Equitable Life investors are going to be
dropped right in the muck when the Penrose report comes out. What's
holding it up officially is the inability of the Treasury to decide
what they'll do to respond to the report. However I'm inclined to
believe that it's being sat on so that those with investments in
Equitable who have comfortable positions have sufficient opportunity
to extricate themselves from the oncoming mess. Once all the bigwigs
have removed their investments largely intact, the news that Equitable
is in terrible shape will be released. The sudden rush by the masses
to get their money back will ensure that the
majority of Equitable Life's investors will be very unhappy.
(Segment begins 35mins 36sec)
In it's
news round-up it mentioned that the Disney
company had received a take-over offer from Comcast and that
Michael Eisner has not commented on the offer. What Newsnight didn't
mention was that Roy Disney is at
war with Michael Eisner, having resigned from the company.
Comcast's offer comes amid growing troubles at the publicly cheery
Disney company.
This was
such an interesting episode of Newsnight, despite my problems with Paxman's
amnesia, that I'm going to do the BBC a favour. The Beeb normally
makes Newsnight available online for 24 hours before it is updated
with the next edition. But for this edition, I somehow feel that
people are going to want to refer back to it. So an archived
copy is available.
To round
this all off, I have an amusing posting at Indymedia where I made the
video of David Icke's ITV appearance available:
"I
don't know if you're putting this out for neutral informational
purposes, but it is a real mistake to actually promote David Icke's
position. There is a rule on the internet that you're not supposed to
toss around the word 'fascist' and compare every little political
thing to Hitler, but Icke technically has promoted fascist ideals.
anarchists and antiauthoritarians in Vancouver, Seattle, and England
have turned out to protest this guy. Just take a look on google.
In addition to supporting fascist ideals, he is also probably mentally
ill, with delusions. People who knew him from his early background in
the greens say that he has gone off the deepend, and he openly
describes his notions that many people on earth are really reptilian 'shapeshifters',
and you can tell who the real humans vs. the lizards are by some
detail in the pupils of their eye. Really - he has said this."
How's
about that for freedom of expression? This poster has beautifully
demonstrated the art of doublethink by telling me it's a mistake to
promote Icke's position because he promotes fascism. I don't even know
where he/she gets that from. Icke appears to me to be anti-fascist. The
lizards thing though, well I can't say that I've got that one down yet
at all.
A quick word
about the Cloak and
Dagger Streaming Archives. In agreement with Lenny, the show's
host, the archives will be removed from the live stream from Friday
night onwards. This is so that we don't tread on what the C&D team
have in mind for their comeback. Instead, hope to hear some new
content from sources new and old."

13th January 2004 |
| Two
weeks into the new year and there's madness in the air... |
| "The
opening of an expected 15 month trial in London today was just a taste
of the daily hum of the establishment machine. The
Bank of England (BoE) now faces charges of turning a blind eye and
failing to do its duty when supposedly regulating the activities of
the now-defunt Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI).
Dig a
little deeper (for some, that means don't rely on today's
mainstream news to give you the full story) and you might well find
more substantating those `allegations' of gun running, drug smugling,
money laundering and of being an intelligence front organisation for
the likes of the CIA, MI6, ISI Pakistani Intelligence and even the
Saudi Arabians.
As one
newspaper said, the proceedings in the High Court will also be keenly
watched by conspiracy theorists.
Before
the trial had started this morning, the various stakeholders in the
BCCI issue were trying to maneuver a way out of exposing everything in
open court. Keith Vaz, Labour MP, was on the BBC's Today programme on
Radio 4 affirming his belief that the Bank of England has a lot to
answer for with regard to BCCI, but that the BoE should settle with
the liquidators, Deloitte and Touche, before the lawyers fees
skyrocket and no money is left for anything else.
Today though,
the news was filled with discussion about the suicide
of Dr Harold Shipman, convicted of murdering 15 of his
patients, but `suspected of murdering as many as 215'. Shipman
was to turn 58 years old on Wednesday, had
been planning to appeal against his conviction and had given no
indication of suicidal thoughts when he spoke to his wife on Monday
night.
Many members of
the public have expressed shock that Shipman was able to hang himself,
but this should not be the shocking thing. They can't take everything
out of a cell, and strangulation by bed-sheet is not difficult. What
should be surprising are the circumstances of his death. Once again,
it doesn't quite add up.
The families of
the victims and suspected victims understandably are upset that they
can no longer hold onto the hope that Shipman might have explained his
actions. His death has left the mystery of which deaths he was
involved with, and provides closure only for the convicted murder who
apparently took his own life.
The high profile
given to Shipman's suicide in the media today has served to shift
attention away from other subjects of discussion.
Mr Blair,
too, has been doing his part to keep the news agenda focused today. In
a remarkable PR stunt, Blair
had his own phone-in radio show on London's LBC radio station. Of
course, the callers were arranged in advance, as admitted earlier
today by Sky News. Listeners were apparently invited to ring in on
Monday night if they had a question they wanted to ask the Prime
Minister, allowing time to do a little advance vetting before exposing
the PM to the rigged `public'. Phoney Tony did it again.
Meanwhile, his
former head of communications, Alastair Campbell, has been struggling
to sell tickets for his his question
and answer sessions before a live audience.
Little wonder that BCCI
seemed to get less news coverage as the day went on.
Jeremy Paxman really
shouldn't have been so off-hand with me in his
email. I asked Greg Palast for his take on the whole situation,
given that Paxman was apparently questioning the quality of his work
and forgetting the awards his programme won.
Here's Greg's response:
From:
Greg Palast
Sent: 07 January 2004 09:05
To: Simon Aronowitz
Subject: Paxo I'm sure misspoke himself
I'm a bit surprised at my colleague's
remark. It is Newsnight which estimated that, had Blacks not been
purged from the polls, some 22,000 votes would have added to Gore's
Florida total ... a broadcast for which we've won several awards.
As to the '46 mistakes' in my book ... that's from a self-deprecating
joke I made on Start the Week ... these were in fact pre-publication
copy edit errors. I think I need to chat with Mr P when I'm back in
Blighty.
Paxo I'm sure misspoke himself ... one of the 47 errors.
Thanks,
Greg
