Wonder if Mark Levin would have any opinion on this, being that he’s a big admirer of Patton.
Hm. “Block-busting secrets.” Makes you wonder if they had anything to do with what his fellow (but much more liberal and friendly-to-the-Soviets) General, Dwight Eisenhower, was referring to in his farewell speech, when he warned about the “military-industrial complex.” [You can see Ike’s speech at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y06NSBBRtY or read it at http://www.h-net.org/~hst306/documents/indust.html.]
Patton’s death occurred 65 years ago Tuesday.
General Patton's death was under questionable circumstances and he was a 'controversial' figure but I see no hard evidence of an assassination conspiracy. Frankly, after 65 years, even if Patton was killed because he was publicly opposed to Democrat presidents too-cozy accommodations with the then-dangerous Soviet Union, it is virtually impossible to prove and, 65 years later, there is no one left to prosecute. Interesting theory - but hardly worth pursuing.
I once read the detailed story of Patton’s last days. One thing which differs from the story here is that his driver was driving recklessly.
The guy who drove Patton all through the war was from Abbeville, Alabama and never had an accident. He had gone home just before the accident and Patton got a young reckless driver which Patton, of course just loved.
The accident was just that, an accident. Patton was extremely unlucky as he was the only one seriously hurt.
At first he did not do well then a Scottish Doctor was called in and ordered hooks be attached to Patton’s cheekbones which had weights attached to them. This worked and his neck eventually straightened out.
Just as it looked like Patton was going to recover, he had a sudden setback and died.
The only place I can see where there may have been a conspiracy/murder was at the very last but I doubt even that.
There is one interesting possibility. Patton ordered that Beadle Smith not be allowed at his funeral. I think Smith was in fact sympathetic to the Communists and was in a position of great power.
Ping.
Let’s start at square one. Has anyone actually seen Patton’s birth certificate?
You’re right. It was murder. The President should resign his post immediately.
Yes.

a good book for Christmas :)

I truly believe he was killed by the Communist in the US government.. Patton a strong anti-communist and the powers that be at the time were appeasing the Russians... Its time for the truth to be told..
Yes, he was taken out by the US Military.
Wouldn’t surprise me that Patton got killed. At that time like today, those people who speak their mind without bowing to the altar of political correctness end up getting silenced !
Neil Armstrong didn’t do the moonwalk—Michael Jackson did.
he was murdered. many when i was in the army many were convinced of this.
Would it not have been simpler, less suspicious, and more practical for the assassins to have finished the job at the scene of the accident?
You can’t with any degree of certainty kill a person in a slow-moving vehicle by putting a truck in front of him. So let’s say that Patton’s broken neck had some other cause there at the scene of the accident.
Are we to assume that the Russians don’t know how to do this properly? So that he’s dead instead of just paralyzed and requiring additional violence later?
Meanwhile he’s alive and might possibly speak?
Not to mention the witnesses at the scene. Very messy situation, very unprofessionally arranged.
Conclusion: assassination not likely.
He was progressing until ‘specialists’ from Washington arrived to take over his medical care. He didn’t survive long under their ‘treatment’.
Ike off’d him.
All your Patton are belong to us. Your country big liberal and conservatives in bad conditions.
