Sounds like something an ex-KGB man might cook up to get rid of a troublesome opposition candidate.

This is likely a program that the Soviets cooked up in the 1960s, and simply had on the shelf for KGB use. Wouldn't surprise me if it was utilized on dozens of occassions. You can't find the problem, because its not a normal disease and I doubt seriously that this guy will be alive in three years.

A friend of mine had something very similar to this problem. He was throwing up blood and had strange lesions for months. No-one could ever figure out what was wrong with him. Perhaps this is a strange new virus.

Weird. Looks to me like something cooked up in a Soviet WMD lab.

I would love to see this guy in the same room with Putin. I'm sure Putin's reaction would be very telling.

The ulcerated digestive tract, swollen liver and pancreas, acute abdominal and back pain, and overall skin inflammation all raise HUGE red flags for some sort of poisoning via ingestion. And not just "ordinary" poisonings, but something exceptionally nasty. I'm siding with the folks who raised the possibility of WMD or KGB involvement.

His symptoms aren't typical of radiation sickness.

Not hard to remember that Putin has been KGB. They do marvels.

This man is a true hero to continue the struggle despite horrendous pain. I can't imagine having ulcers throughout my internal organs.

A friend wrote from Kyiv a few months ago about this:
(09-17-2004) U menya slozhilos' mnenie, chto ego (Yushchenko) khoteli otravit'. On ezdil po Cherkasskoy oblasti s predvybornoy agitatsiey i obratilsya v bol'nitsu, t.k. u nego vozniklo podozrenie na prostudu. Takie simptomy byli. No, kogda proveli obsledovanie, to okazalos' sil'noe otravlenie. On lezhal v bol'nitse, no uzhe vyshel. Po-moemu, ego takim obrazom poka predupredili. Uzhas, chto tvoritsya za portfel' prezidenta. Ehto i ne udivitel'no. Ved' Kuchma i ego okruzhenie teryayut vse. V strane idet otkrytiy grabezh. Prodayutsya predpriyatiya, kotorye predstavlyayut bol'shoy interes. Tsena ikh nizhe, chem oni poluchili pribyl'. I skupaet vse ehto priblizhennye Kuchmy i ego zyat'. Poehtomu budet bor'ba gryaznaya i opasnaya dlya zhizni Yushchenko.

"I'm of the opinion that they tried to poison him (Yushchenko). He was travelling around the Cherkassaya district with his campaign and went to a hospital, because he thought he had a cold. Such were his symptoms. But, when they performed tests, it turns out that it was a serious case of poisoning. He was hopitalized, but he's already recovered. In my opinion, it was a warning. It's horrible what goes on beyond the president's portfolio (?). It's not even surprising. Obviously Kuchma and his circle will lose everything. There's open theft going on in the nation. They're selling companies which represent a large interest. Their prices are lower then their profits. And all these businesses are being bought be Kuchma and his son-in-law. Therefore there will be a dirty struggle and it will dangerous for Yushchenko's life."

(09-22-2004) U nas seychas strana obsuzhdaet problemu s Yushchenko. S Avstrii dali zaklyuchenie, chto otravlenie bylo ne pishchevym. V rade, vpervye za ves' period ee raboty, edinoglasno sozdali komissiyu po rassledovaniyu ehtogo prestuplenie. A nakanune otravleniya on el s odnim iz samom SBU i svoim pomoshchnikom. Yushchenko vystupil na sessii Rady i skazal, chto on ostalsya zhiv potomu, chto ne ta doza byla, ne to vremya i angely ego spali. No kakoy on opukhshiy, uzhas. Svolochi. A nash Yanukovich, vot debil, na parlament vynes zakonoproekt amnistirovat' osobo opasnykh prestupnikov, kotorye nasilovali detey, ubiyts i drugoe otreb'e. V parlament tsarit uzhas. Ya perezhivayu stress ezhednevno, kogda slushayu nash oppozitsionniy kanal. Khorosho, chto on est' i my znaem pravdu. No ego postoyanno otklyuchayut, kabelya zhgut, podstantsii vyvodyat iz stroya.

"Here the nation is now looking at the Yushchenko problem. From Austria they gave information that his poisoning was not due to food. In the Rada (parliament), for the first in its history, they unanimously agreed to create a commission to examine this crime. On the day before being poisoned he (Yushchenko) ate with one of the directors of the SBU (Ukrainian security service) and his assistant. Yushchenko addressed a session of the Rada and said that he survived because it wasn't the right dose or the right time and that the angels saved him. But, oh how he is all swollen up, it's awful. The bastards. While our Yanukovich, what a moron, has presented to parliament a new law to give amnesty to extremely dangerous criminals, those who raped children, murderers and other rabble. Parliament was horrified. I'm stressed out every day, when I listen to our opposition TV station. It's good that there is one and that we know the truth. But they're always shutting it down, cabels burn out, sub-stations break down."

This is the key:

"On the day before being poisoned he (Yushchenko) ate with one of the directors of the SBU (Ukrainian security service) and his assistant. Yushchenko addressed a session of the Rada and said that he survived because it wasn't the right dose or the right time and that the angels saved him. But, oh how he is all swollen up, it's awful."
-- from the letter translated by FReeper struwwelpeter

This account has been published before and is widely known by those who have followed this story of poisoning. For whatever reason, the "coincidental" meal was ignored by the International Herald Tribune and the New York Times.

Do their editors fear they are witnessing the further crumbling of their youthful dreams of worldwide Communism -- as the advance of freedom and democracy continues -- often slowly, but more often relentlessly and beneficially?

New details of Mr. Yushchenko's hospital admissions in Vienna raise disturbing questions: Was the candidate poisoned or infected with some biological agent, and, if so, with what?

Yes.

The b*st*rd Viktor Yanukovych is nothing more than a thug.
