Isn't it amazing how throughout the last [View all]

6 decades or so that so many of the accusers, reporters and those with knowledge regarding the horrible acts of the rich and powerful have died by suicide? I'm sure there's nothing strange about that. I mean even though we know there are intelligence agencies who know how to do a hit and make it look like a suicide I'm sure those agents who leave the service forget all about how to do that. Right? I mean I'm sure the agencies themselves wouldn't do a little "moonlighting" for some perceived or received benefit. Right? I mean we live in a world where these people are all the finest most upstanding human beings. Right? Like apple pie and the flag and George Washington with the cherry tree. Right?

So when this happens and a nations top officials look into it and declare it was suicide it should be accepted because we all know that these top officials never lie. Right? I mean it's not like we can look at their past and find any instances at all where they have been "fixers" for powerful people in trouble. Right? I mean there's nothing strange, for example, about a man slitting his wrist with a knife, no gloves on and leaving no fingerprints on the knife. Right?

Everything always neatly explained away. Move along now. Here is an article showing how routine it is for murder to be deemed suicide. Maybe sometimes it isn't suicide. Maybe sometimes people want that to be the conclusion.
