More Dead Scientists Devvy Kidd April 21, 2002

Back on December 31, 2001, I posted a piece on the unusual number of micro-biologists who died within a 33 day period. If you haven't read that piece, you should so this update will make sense to you:

http://www.devvy.com/micro_20020104.html

I have received an update from Ian Gurney and with his permission, below is that information:

April 15, 2002

By Ian Gurney

"And so to the New Year, and still the scientists keep dying. On February 9th. the Russian daily Pravda reported that:

"The head of the microbiology sub-faculty of the Russian State Medical University, Victor Korshunov has been killed. The body of the dead professor, who had head injuries, was found on Friday 8th. February, in the entrance of the house in Academician Bakulev Street, Moscow, where the 56-year-old scientist lived."

"Pravda went on to reveal that: "It was the third death of a scientist within a few weeks. In January, the Russian Academy of Science lost two scientists, both well known around the world. Academician Ivan Glebov died as a result of a bandit attack in St Petersburg and corresponding Member of the Academy of Science Alexi Brushlinski was killed in Moscow."

Exactly a week later, on February 16th. The Times ran the following article:

"Detectives were last night trying to unravel the circumstances in which a leading university research scientist was found dead at his blood-spattered and apparently ransacked home. The body of Ian Langford, 40, a senior Fellow at the University of East Anglia's Centre for Social and Economic Research on the Global Environment, was discovered on Monday night by police and ambulance men. The body was naked from the waist down and partly wedged under a chair.

"It is understood that doors to the terraced house were locked. A post-mortem examination failed to establish how Dr Langford, who lived alone in the house in Norwich, died."

"Back to the west coast of the United States, where, on February 28th. San Francisco's Mercury News reported that:

"Dr. Tanya Holzmayer, a pioneering scientist, was surprised Wednesday night to find a Domino's Pizza deliveryman at the front door of her Mountain View home. Moments later, a former colleague appeared out of the dark, shot her dead and ran off."

"Dr. Holzmayer was a Russian born genomic scientist who had co-invented a tool that has helped find hundreds of molecular targets to combat cancer and HIV. Holzmayer and her family came to the United States in 1989. Until December, Holzmayer had served a four year tenure as senior vice president of genomics for PPD Discovery, a division of PPD Inc. of Wilmington, North Carolina. Her killer, said Mercury News, was Chinese immigrant Guyang Huang, a former colleague who began working as the director of molecular biology and bioinformatics with PPD Discovery in early 2000.

Mercury News continued:

"Huang appeared from behind the deliveryman. He shot Holzmayer several times at close range in the chest and head. As Holzmayer fell in her doorway, Huang ran to a Ford Explorer and drove away. Less than an hour after the shooting, Huang called his wife, according to Foster City Police Capt. Craig Courtin. He told her about the shooting and that he was going to kill himself, then he hung up. Huang's wife called the emergency services and Foster City police used search dogs to comb the area. They ran into a jogger who had seen Huang's body lying off the walkway that locals call "The Levee." He had fired a single bullet into his head, according to Robert Foucrault, San Mateo County's acting coroner. Police said that at this stage in their investigations there appeared to be no motive for the murder."

Still the deaths continue. On March 25th. 2002

9News.com - part of K*USA TV in Denver, reported that:

"Denver car dealer Kent Rickenbaugh, his wife, Caroline, and their son Bart were killed Sunday in a plane crash near Centennial Airport. Pilot Dr. Steven Mostow also died. Dr. Mostow, 63, was one of the country's leading infectious disease experts and was Associate Dean at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. Mostow was a crusader for better health, an early advocate for widespread flu vaccinations and more recently an expert on the threat of bioterrorism.

"The plane was headed for Centennial Airport from Gunnison Airport when Dr. Mostow reported engine trouble around 4:30 p.m., Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jerry Snyder said. National Transportation Safety Board investigators said "Weather did not appear to be a factor in the crash",

"Back to England, and on March 27th. The Times carried an obituary for yet another leading microbiologist, stating that:

"David Wynn-Williams, an award-winning microbiologist died when he was struck by a vehicle while out jogging. In 2000 he was appointed leader of the Antarctic Astrobiology Project, which explores the effects of environmental stress at the limits of life on Earth. Wynn-Williams had assessed the capability of microbes to adapt to environmental extremes, including the bombardment of ultraviolet rays and global warming. This drew Wynn-Williams into collaboration with the Nasa Ames Research Centre, the Johnson Space Centre and Lunar & Planetary Institute, Houston, and Montana State University. A man of boundless physical as well as intellectual energy, Wynn-Williams generated a constant flow of ideas, which entranced both his contemporaries and the young. He was killed in a road accident while out jogging near his Cambridge home."

"So far then, twelve dead scientists, at least eight or nine of whom appear to have died in "unusual" circumstances. Prior to these deaths, on October 4th, a commercial jetliner traveling from Israel to Novosibirsk, Siberia was shot down over the Black Sea by an "errant" Ukrainian surface-to-air missile, killing all on board. The missile was over 100 miles off-course. According to several press reports, the plane is believed by many in Israel to have had as many as five passengers on board who were microbiologists. Both Israel and Novosibirsk are homes for cutting-edge microbiological research. Novosibirsk is known as the scientific capital of Siberia, and home to over 50 research facilities and 13 full universities for a population of only 2.5 million people.

"At the time of the Black Sea crash, Israeli journalists reported that three Israeli microbiologists had, on November 24th, been on board a Swissair flight from Berlin to Zurich that crashed on its landing approach. Of the 33 persons on board, 24 were killed, including the head of the haematology department at Israel's Ichilov Hospital, and the directors of the Tel Aviv Public Health Department and the Hebrew University School of Medicine. They were the only Israelis on the flight. The names of those killed, as reported in a subsequent Israeli news story, were Avishai Berkman, Amiramp Eldor and Yaacov Matzner.

"In light of the deaths of these microbiologists, it is interesting to take a look at a similar set of circumstances that occurred fourteen years ago in the United Kingdom. Once again it involves the deaths of a number of scientists, some in "unusual" circumstances. The report below was taken from The Independent newspaper of August 26, 1988.

"The police said it was suicide, and no doubt they were right. Ex-Brigadier Peter Ferry, a marketing manager at Marconi's Command and Control Systems centre at Frimley, Surrey, had apparently killed himself by inserting power main electric wires into his mouth and then turning on the power.

"The method chosen was perhaps marginally more grisly than in the case of several other Marconi employees. In 1986, for example, Ashad Sharif, a computer analyst who worked for Marconi Defence Systems in Stanmore, Middlesex, tied one end of a rope around his neck, another to a tree, and put his car into gear. Two months earlier, the body of Vimal Dajibhai, a software engineer responsible for checking the guidance systems of Tigerfish torpedos for Marconi Underwater Systems, was found under Clifton suspension bridge at Bristol.

"In March 1987, David Sands, a project manager working on secret satellite radar at Marconi's sister company Easams, in Camberley, drove up a slip road on his way to work and into a cafe at an estimated 80mph. A year later, Trevor Knight, a computer engineer at Marconi's space and defence base in Stanmore, died in his fume-filled car at his home in Hertfordshire. Earlier, two other Marconi employees, Victor Moore, a design engineer, and Roger Hill, a draughtsman, had killed themselves, both seemingly as a result of work pressures.

"There have been at least half a dozen more untoward deaths among defence scientists and others working in the defence field. Marconi is not alone, but it is well in the lead. The best efforts of investigative journalists have failed to establish a link either between the various deaths or between the deaths of the Marconi staff and the Ministry of Defence inquiry, now two years old, into some œ3billion worth of defence contracts awarded to GEC-Marconi. "

The Independent August 26, 1988.

"Interestingly, Marconi was recently declared virtually bankrupt after it's shares fell below "junk" status on the UK stock exchange. Both the chairman and C.E.O. resigned and a great many employees have lost their jobs and pensions as the share price fell from a twelve month high of œ4:45 to only 5 pence. Marconi, once a major player in the defence industry had, over the last few years, moved into the Telecoms sector and suffered when the downturn in technology and telecom stocks came along last year. A company once worth billions is now worthless, a situation that is somewhat similar to Enron.

"Whether these recent deaths are purely coincidence or part of some sinister plot, the reasons for which can only be guessed at, remains unclear. What is clear though, is that being a scientist these days can be a dangerous occupation.

It is odd that all of these deaths, with the exception of a few old ones mentioned by Ian, have all occurred after September 11, 2001. I don't know if there is any connection. One can speculate, based on all the backgrounds and specialities of the scientists, that there is something that makes them all commonly bound. Given the media pounding and 'warnings' by the U.S. government on "possible smallpox" threats, the past Anthrax debacle and other yet to come "crises," this pattern of dying scientists is alarming.

Actually, the statistical likelihood of all these deaths in so short a period of time beats the dead FOB's (Friends of Bill Clinton) hands down. Who invented something that the global masters didn't want the vast unwashed to have access to? A cure for AIDS? A Vaccine? Sustainable something or other? DNA sequencing for longer life, which means more people live longer and the global masters certainly don't want that?

All of these scientists may not have known each other, but their work product, as a whole, has a commonality. The question is: Who was it a threat to?

I did a few searches myself on these new deaths:

Victor Korshunov

Russian Defence, NATO, missile systems:

As a new initiative in the field of science and the arts, the Academy of Creative Endeavors enhances and promotes various human activities on the basis of creative contributions by its members to scientific and social enterprises in their respective areas.

Ivan Glebov

National Transportation Safety Board prelim on Dr. Mostow's fatal crash:

http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?ev_id=20020329X00423&key=1

NTSB Identification: DEN02FA034

Accident occurred Sunday, March 24, 2002 at Englewood, CO

Aircraft:Cessna 340, registration: N341DM

Injuries: 4 Fatal.

This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed.

On March 24, 2002, at 1631 mountain standard time, a Cessna 340, N341DM, was destroyed when it collided with terrain while on final approach to Centennial Airport, Englewood, Colorado. The airline transport pilot and his three passengers were fatally injured. The airplane was being operated by Lear 171 Inc., of Billings, Montana, under Title 14 CFR Part 91. Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed for the cross-country flight that originated from Gunnison, Colorado, at approximately 1540. The pilot was flying under an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan.

The tower controller at Centennial Airport said that the pilot had been cleared to land on runway 35 right. He said that approximately 90 seconds later the pilot reported he had lost an engine. Radar data from Denver Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) indicates that the airplane made a left 180 degree turn to the south, and then radar contact was lost.

Last, but not least.

I would like to take a moment to focus on the death of Dr. Tanya Holzmayer who was murdered by a former colleague, who was later found shot to death. An apparent suicide.

How much do you really know about black ops government programs?

Ever see the movie The Manchurian Candidate? Very interesting film and one would consider it blarney, except for the fact that this government of the united States of America, the Ruskies, the Communist Chinese and God only knows who else, have all experimented with and used mind control techniques. This a documented fact, not some conspiracy theory.

If you want to read sworn testimony that was given in front of the U.S. Senate by Adm. Standfield Turner about the government's mind control experiments, you can do so at:

http://www.devvy.com/mcveigh4_20010625.html

Yes, this governmnet not only fed LDS to unsuspecting Americans in bars, they devleoped and used mind control for "the greater good." All of this supposedly stopped back in the 70s. Given the number of lies by this government over the past 50 years, can we believe anything they say anymore?

Is it possible that there are 'sleepers' in America and other countries who are triggered by certain responses that cause them to act abnormally, even kill people? Since I have the luxury of not having to work for a living, the time I have spent on researching these kinds of issues over the past 11 years is ten thousand times greater than the average person.

Is it possible that there are 'sleepers' in America and other countries who are triggered by certain responses that cause them to act abnormally, even kill people? I say it is. You can agree or disagree, but there is something evil going on here and I'm afraid it's only going to get worse.

Your reference makes me wonder about the mystery illness that was sickening the Brits in the early days of the recent Afghan house cleaning. Reports of a severe fever/illness were on the British side and in the camps along the Pak border. I haven't checked, but that too disappeared off the televisor.

This topic strikes me as something you'd be interested in. Instead of Arkan-cide, we have biology-cide.

It definitely has weird elements, and killing experts in this field prior to unleasing bioterrorism seems like a natural move to me.

Not one of the crimes was really solved. When professionals (either CIA or KGB) do the job that's the way it is.

That brings up another angle on all this; suppose that these scientists were found to be helping the terrorists on some level. Would it not be prudent (in a sense) for the CIA to simply "off" them rather than go through the court system?

I agree. Some of these person's fields are very different from one another. It is not such a tight cluster as to be strange, nor without links, is there any reason to suppose that they are related.

I like my conspiracy theories with some plausibility, such as the OKC-Iraq connection.

Not very statistically probable is it. Looks to me like it might be terrorist taking out those that might find a way to twart their bio weapons? This is really creepy.

or, as someone suggested, it could be the cia killing people who cooperated with terrorists somehow. But I just can't imagine these scientists selling anthrax to terrorists. I also think that Mr. Hatfill was very lucky after all.

that is a very logical suggestion. could it be that all these people were involved somehow in a clique that was disloyal and instead working with russian criminals to sell this stuff? that is as logical as any explanation.

An announcement today from the director of the NIH re: the death of another prominent scientist working in the area of biodefense (bold type and italics are mine)

John R. La Montagne, Ph.D., deputy director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) died suddenly in Mexico City on November 2, 2004. He was 61.

“All of us are profoundly saddened by the loss of John La Montagne,” said NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. “Personally, he was a dear friend and one of the finest people I have ever known. Professionally, in an NIH career spanning nearly 30 years, his leadership and commitment to improving global health were remarkable. His generosity, wit, even-handedness and kindness made him a friend to all who knew him. He will be sorely missed.”

Tommy G. Thompson, Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, the parent agency of NIH, said, “We mourn the passing of John La Montagne, a true public health hero whose leadership, especially in the realm of infectious diseases, left the world a healthier place. His passing is a tremendous loss for all of us.”

John La Montagne devoted his life to improving the health of children and adults here and abroad. His leadership and counsel have been invaluable in NIH research efforts to fight emerging and re-emerging diseases, including biodefense research activities. I count myself lucky to have known and worked with John.
