‘The Bastards Got Me’

November 24th, 2006

Via: Times Online UK:

The poisoned Russian spy breathed defiance at the Kremlin as the effects of a mystery cocktail pushed him towards his death last night.

“I want to survive, just to show them,” Alexander Litvinenko said in an exclusive interview given just hours before he died.

Too weak to move his limbs and visibly in great pain, the former Russian intelligence officer suggested that he knew he may not win his struggle against the lethal chemicals destroying his vital organs. But he said the campaign for truth would go on with or without him.

“The bastards got me,” he whispered. “But they won’t get everybody.”

He also managed a joke at his own expense, suggesting that his poisoning was proof that his campaign against the Kremlin had targeted the right people. “This is what it takes to prove one has been telling the truth,” he said.

He was referring to allegations he made in a book, The FSB Blows up Russia, which accuses the Russian security services of causing a series of apartment block explosions in Moscow in 1999 that helped to propel Mr Putin into the presidency.

    He co-authored an important book about the 9/99 false-flag attacks in Russia (the Moscow apartment bombings).

    So, according to the BBC, on 26 Nov, “The former agent’s death has been linked to the presence of a major dose of radioactive polonium-210 in his body.”

    When the news broke last Friday that there was the possibility that the poison might have a radioactive element (yes “RADIOACTIVE”!!), the UK media/dis-information machine had a field-day – another opportunity to spin fear and keep us cowered.

    I snapped this Friday’s headline poster from a London Evening Standard news-stand this (Sunday) evening. See it here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/freddy123/307036906/

    It’s Sunday evening now. We’re still alive. Amazing!
