News
     In June 2009, CIA director Leon E. Panetta cancelled an international CIA assassination program that was designed to specifically kill top Al Qaeda terrorist leaders.  The CIA's actions were reported in the New York Times on July 13, 2009 and the Washington Post on July 16, 2009.
     Political assassination programs can be stopped.
     On Jan. 6, 2010, TruTV broadcasts Manchurian Candidates as part of the new TV series Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura.  Jesse Ventura was elected governor of Minnesota in 1998 and was the governor of Minnesota from January 4, 1999 to January 6, 2003.  Jesse Ventura's TV show Manchurian candidates presents Jesse Ventura's concerns about mind control, black ops, political assassinations, and Manchurian candidates, or programmed U.S. government black ops assassins.  This one hour TV show can be viewed on the Internet.

Overt and Suspected Covert Political Assassinations in America 1953-2011
    Note: This topic can get very complex.  This topic was originally part of StopPsyWar.com but I moved it to its own website when the issue of documenting and stopping U.S. overt and covert political assassinations grew in size.  This is still a draft version of documentation on this topic.  Due to time constraints, this draft version of the data is all I can publish at this point in time.  I hope to revise and improve this documentation later.
    The sad reality is that the political backlash against all of the political progress of the 1960's, including civil rights, the war on poverty, the peace movement, the counterculture, feminism, environmentalism, the greens, and increased human rights, including gay rights, has led to too many political activists and targeted individuals being murdered.  The most prominent murders of political activists and targeted individuals in the 1960's were overt, but covert murders of political activists and targeted individuals are alleged to have occurred between 1953-2011.
    In addition to activists occasionally dieing in political conflict flashpoints, murders by the Klu Klux Klan in the 1960s, and other lethal hate crimes, the U.S. federal government established at least 3 secret police task forces that went about the illegal business of illegal covert political repression, and that tragically sometimes included the accidental death or even the deliberate murder or assassination of political activists and/or targeted individuals.  These repressive secret police task forces were and/or are 1) COINTELPRO, 2) Operation CHAOS, and 3) the FBI SID or SID, the Special Intelligence Division, an alleged FBI or interagency U.S. secret police or black ops task force.  COINTELPRO was Hoover's FBI's secret police covert war against left-wing political activism in the 1960s.  Illegal COINTELPRO-style political repression continued long after the FBI's official COINTELPRO program was shut down in April 1971, the month after the Citizen's Commission to Investigate the FBI seized secret FBI COINTELPRO records on March 8, 1971.  FBI SID workers in 2005-2011 sometimes identify themselves as COINTELPRO.  Operation CHAOS was the CIA's secret police war against left-wing political activism and the counterculture.  The FBI SID, or the SID, the Special Intelligence Division, is an alleged FBI or interagency U.S. secret police task force that allegedly engaged in political repression of targeted individuals and political activists from allegedly around 1979 to now.  Its workers routinely identify themselves by using the words "COINTELPRO" and/or "psywar".  The FBI SID combines very hi-tech political persecution, blatantly illegal gangstalking and smearing political opponents, and the blatantly illegal widespread use of methamphetamine speed to keep illegal black ops covert electronic psychological warfare or psywar repression workers in their top-secret hi-tech offices functioning in emotionally draining, very screwed up, often sleep-deprived, and tragically almost demonically evil working environments.  The FBI SID and/or allied U.S. secret police workers, aka COINTELPRO, routinely infiltrate and disrupt social change events and presumably social change organizations also.

Kent State, 1970.	Boxes with tens of thousands of these stickers were set up for distribution at the March 17, 2007 March on the Pentagon in Washington, DC.

     Before I recount the sad, tragic truth of overt and suspected covert political assassination in America from 1953-2011, please be aware that most political repression in the United States is both covert and nonlethal.  It involves a certain level of political harassment inflicted by illegal repression workers, who are often secret police workers in search of paid gangstalking hours with corrupt criminal secret police bosses in search of targeted individuals to harass and/or organizations to harass and/or infiltrate.  They are not cops or feds in search of crimes to solve or in search of criminals to arrest.  FBI SID workers are criminals employed and paid by a very small and very corrupt part of the federal government.  FBI SID workers daily commit crimes against usually innocent targeted individuals.  The current main problem is that the FBI SID, with an estimated budget of 200 million or more/year, allegedly mostly or almost entirely paid from the FBI's budget (but also possibly paid for in the secret black box part of the federal budget), occasionally kills targeted individuals while trying to spend all of their money every year on political repression work and keeping thousands of covert political repression workers paid and unarrested and unsquealing.  I honestly believe that the FBI SID has suffered so much mission creep that it is now probably mostly about FBI SID workers' greed for money and many of their office workers' addiction to expensive illegal methamphetamine speed.  Their repression work is dehumanizing and disgraceful, and many of their electronic harassment office workers became addicted to methamphetamine speed while trying to cope with their sickening and dehumanizing work.

     The cost of some very good people being assassinated is incalculable.  How much better would America be, for example, if Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had not been assassinated in 1968?  And America was shocked and stunned by the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, an enemy of Hoover's FBI, in 1963.  Each political assassination of a good person deprives all of us of what they would have contributed to America's future.
     There are 6 major categories of political assassinations that I am aware of in America from 1953-2011.  This topic is so complex that whole books have been written about single suspected assassinations, so I'm sure that there is a lot that is not included in this very brief review.  These 6 categories are:
     1. Overt political assassinations from 1953-1980, including 41 Jim Crow and/or Klu Klux Klan murder victims, including many civil rights activists murdered in the south from 1955-1968.
     2. Armed conflict at the Native American Oglala Lakota or Sioux Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota from 1973-1976.  American Indian Movement members allege that GOONs, or "Guardians of the Oglala Nation" killed many AIM activists between 1973-1976 at the Native American Oglala Lakota or Sioux Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota.  (Another version of these allegations at www.aics.org/WK/pineridge.html was hacked on 1/26/09 by the exact same strategy used to hack EmpowermentResources.com around 1/7/09-1/10/09.)  The FBI finally got around to reporting their version of these American Indian Movement 1973-1976 deaths at the Lakota Pine Ridge Reservation in 2000, 24-27 years later.  A helpful Native American journalist tried to help set the record straight by reporting both sides of the story.
     3. Suspected and alleged covert assassinations of countercultural musicians, 1967-1981.  Documented in Operation CHAOS: The CIA's War Against the Sixties Counterculture, by Mae Brussel in 1976, and also including the assassination of John Lennon in 1980 and the untimely illness and death of Bob Marley in 1981.  "The nine years in which the musicians allegedly overdosed, drank themselves to death, drove over cliffs, hung themselves, choked, crashed their motorcycles, went insane, or freaked out without any reasonable explanation, were the same years that the FBI and CIA waged a domestic war against any kind of dissent."  Hmmm.
     4. Suspected covert murders of prominent left-wing activists, 1976-now.
     5. Suspected covert murders of targeted individuals, 1953-now.  Covert murders since the 1970's tended to use a covert slow kill assassination strategy (sometimes euphemistically referred to a neutralizing the target), wearing the victim down with psywar harassment, covert electronic harassment, and paid gangstalking harassment.  In some cases, potentially lethal covert electronic anti-brain beam weapons were probably used to kill their target in one way or another.  The anti-brain beam weapon technology used in these covert hits or assassinations in new, top secret, and very technologically advanced.  See StopPsyWar.com for a detailed description of this new technology and a new covert harassment campaign that is sometimes eventually lethal.  
     6. Suspicious deaths of some presumably guilty people, usually insiders, who might have been killed to silence them forever during the Bush Administration years.
     Also, from 1968-1972, Operation Phoenix during the Vietnam War apparently degenerated into U.S. death squads or hit squads killing or assassinating instead of capturing suspected NLF communists in Vietnam.  Marshall Thomas believes this legacy was carried over into a "slow kill" covert war program in America targeting innocent peacetime American citizens.
     FYI, 2 serious covert electronic warfare assassination attempts were made against the webmaster of this website, Ed Harding.  One was in 1980/1981 and one was in 1992.  This webmaster survived both covert electronic warfare assassination attempts, other minor electronic warfare assassination attempts, and hundreds of death threats.  (You'd be surprised at how much more cautious this webmaster has become.)

     Here are a few songs commemorating our martyrs and condemning their evil assassins.
     Too many martyrs (aka The Ballad of Medgar Evers), by Phil Ochs.
     Only a Pawn In Their Game, condemning the assassin, the Klu Klux Klan, and the system that killed Medgar Evers.
     The Ballad of Medgar Evers by the SNCC Freedom Singers, lamenting the loss of Medgar Evers.
     Medgar Evers Lullaby, by Judy Collins.  A lullaby for Medgar Ever's son.
     Birmingham Sunday by Joan Baez, lamented the Birmingham Sunday murder of 4 innocent black girls in church.
     He Was A Friend of Mine, by the Byrds, gently lamented the death of John F. Kennedy.
     That Was The President, by Phil Ochs, lamented the death of John F. Kennedy.
     Goodman, Schwerner, and Cheney, by Tom Paxton, about the murder of 3 civil rights activists in Mississippi.
     Those 3 Are On My Mind, lyrics only, by Pete Seeger, written in response to the assassination of James E. Chaney, Andrew Goodman; and Michael Schwerner.
     The Death of Harry Simms, by Pete Seeger.  Union organizer Harry Simms, 19, was ambushed and killed near Harlan County, Kentucky in 1932.  Prior to today's FBI SID covert non-lethal gangstalking harassment (aka psywar), hits against lethally targeted individuals were sometimes blatantly lethal during the Depression.

Being shot with a shotgun was officially ruled a suicide, but there is a slim chance it might have been a covert assassination, possibly related to his role in the CIA's Operation Mockingbird.  (Frank Olsen's murder in 1953 shows how weird CIA murders can get.)

1968-1972	Operation Phoenix, Vietnam War	During the Vietnam War, CIA and U.S. military counterinsurgency in Vietnam apparently degenerated into U.S. death squads fighting a dirty war and killing instead of capturing suspected Vietnamese NLF communists.

The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, finally became U.S. law on Oct. 22, 2009.  This measure expands the 1969 United States federal hate-crime law to include crimes motivated by a victim's actual or perceived gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability. (Note: many TIs are disabled by electromagnetic beam weapons.)
1997-2006	20 Covert electronic warfare victims posted at raven1.net.	Targeted Individuals or TIs.

July 17, 2001	Katherine Graham	Powerful owner of the Washington Post from 1963-2001	84	Mysteriously died while walking.  Might have been killed by covert electronic warfare.	Might have been a covert assassination.
Oct. 2-22, 2002	Victims of the Washington, DC beltway sniper attacks. James Martin James Buchanan Premkumar Walekar Sarah Ramos Lori Ann  Lewis-Rivera Pascal Charlot Dean Harold Meyers Kenneth Bridges Linda Franklin, FBI agent. Conrad Johnson Surviving victims: Caroline Seawell Iran Brown Jeffrey Hopper		JM, 55 JB, 39 PW, 54 SR, 34 LALR, 25 PC, 72 DHM, 53 KB, 53 LF, 47 CJ, 35 CS, 43 IB, 13 JH, 37	These murder victims were all assassinated between Oct. 2-22, 2002 in or near Washington, DC by John  Allen Muhammad, and one minor, Lee Boyd Malvo.  The 2 assassins used a specially modified assassin's car to hide in while killing their victims, and the assassins began their crime spree elsewhere in Sept. 2002.  The primary assassin changed his last name from Williams to Muhammad in Oct. 2001, and was temporarily taken into custody by US immigration officials in Dec. 2001 for being in the U.S. illegally.	The unprecedented 21-day string of unsolved murders occurred in and near the U.S. capitol city just before the Nov. 5, 2002 mid-term national U.S. election. I strongly suspect this might have been a U.S. black ops fake terrorism incident designed to make Washington, DC afraid of terrorism just before the Nov. 2002 elections and swing the 2002 elections to anti-terrorist Republicans, but I have no way to prove this.  The 2 assassins were money-focused and demanded a 10 million payoff, but they surprisingly and stupidly focused on murder instead of robbery to try to get their money.  (Also, if they were beam weapon mind control victims, then that might explain why the words "call me god" might have popped into their brains and then been written on a tarot card left for the police.)	Washington, DC, including the national news media, became paranoid of snipers and terrorism in Oct. 2002, just before the Nov. 5, 2002 mid-term national U.S. election.
Oct. 25, 2002	U.S. Senator Paul Wellstone	Left-wing populist U.S. senator.	58	Small charter airplane crash in bad weather.  Covert murder by sabotage and/or electronic warfare suspected.	Suspected covert assassination.
March 16, 2003	Rachel Corrie	U.S. political activist in Palestine, part of the ISM or International Solidarity Movement.	23	Killed by an Israeli Defense Force or IDF bulldozer engaged in house demolition.	ISM witnesses claim she was assassinated.  IDF reports claim it was an accident.
Feb. 20, 2005	Hunter Thompson	Maverick gonzo journalist.	67	Died from a presumably self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.	Might have been a covert electronic warfare assassination.  3 possible reasons it might have been a lethal mind-control psywar attack: 1.  His death was sloppy, not carefully preplanned.  2.  His suicide note has the phrases "I" and "you" as if a 2-person electronic mind-control discussion was underway. 3. His suicide note ends with the phrase "This won't hurt a bit", as if a techno mind-controller is trying to talk Thompson into using a gun to kill himself.
Saturday, Dec. 10, 2005	Richard Pryor	Black movie star and entertainer.  Starred in "Which Way is Up?".	64	Died from cardiac arrest in Encino, CA.	Cardiac arrest might have been caused by covert electronic warfare.
Saturday, Dec. 10, 2005	Eugene McCarthy	U.S. democratic presidential peace candidate, 1968	89	Died from complications of Parkinson's disease in a Georgetown, Washington, DC retirement home.	Disability and/or death might have been caused by covert electronic warfare
Saturday, Dec. 17, 2005	Jack Anderson	Investigative reporter.  Associated Press reports on Oct. 11, 2008  that Jack Anderson was targeted by the FBI.  Also on Nixon's enemies list.  Nixon's White House plotted to assassinate Jack Anderson.	83	Diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1986.  Retired July 2004.  Died Dec. 17, 2005 in his Bethesda, Maryland home.	Disability and/or death might have been caused by covert electronic warfare.  (In 2009, a FBI SID electronic warfare worker briefly working with Jay Pendelton claimed to have been part of a covert team that killed Jack Anderson.)
2006	U.S. Senator Tim Johnson.  He survived.	U.S. Senator, Democrat, from South Dakota.		Possible covert illness/murder attempt.  With control of the Senate in the balance in Nov. 2006, on Dec. 13, 2006, Tim Johnson suffered on life-threatening brain illness that might have been triggered by possible electronic warfare.	Might have been a covert disabling/assassination attempt using covert electronic warfare.  Tim Johnson survived.
June 13, 2008	Tim Russert	liberal American TV journalist	58	Heart attack in a WRC-TV office in Washington, DC.  Might have been killed by covert electronic warfare.	Might have been a covert assassination.
Aug. 13, 2008	Bill Gwatney	State chair of the Democratic Party of Arkansas.	49	An assassin walked into the Democratic party office in Little Rock Arkansas and shot Bill Gwatney 3 times.	Overt assassination. Possible  assassination conspiracy or "psywar" hit.  He was shot 12 days before the 2008 Democratic National Convention.  (This might have been patterned after the Nov. 27, 1980 murder of FDR democratic opposition politicians in El Salvador by Salvadorian death squads.)
Dec. 9, 2008	Michael Connell	He was a high-level Republican consultant. He was served with a subpoena in Ohio on September 22, 2008, in a case alleging that vote-tampering during the 2004 presidential election resulted in civil-rights violations.	45	His small airplane crashed after flying from College Park Airport in Maryland.  (FYI, StopPsyWar.com's webmaster has witnessed routine usually accidental electronic zapping of or sound beam hits on aircraft leaving College Park airport in 2008.)  The FBI SID also has a strong presence and an alleged methamphetamine speed lab a few miles from College Park Airport in Maryland.	Electronic and/or physical airplane sabotage suspected.  (It's also theoretically possible that a FBI SID electronic warfare satellite beam initially hitting the plane in College Park, MD may have intentionally/accidentally caused it to crash in Lake Township near Akron, OH.)  Part of a list of suspected political assassinations.	UPDATE: 12/20/08: Michael Connell Killed: VR Demands Full State And Federal Investigation.
Jan. 29, 2009	William Thomas	Peace activist, anti-nuclear vigiler in front the White House in Washington, DC from June 3, 1981- Aug. 5, 2008.	61	Died from a pulmonary disease (lung disease) on Jan. 29, 2009, in Washington DC.	Might have been  covertly assassinated by a covert electronic warfare lethal asthma attack zap.  (Electronic warfare zaps are usually sudden.  Degenerate illness is usually slow.)  Wikipedia entry deleted on Feb. 2, 2009 by Tivedshambo, 4 days after his death.
Feb 12, 2009	Beverly Eckert	Spokesperson for Voices of Sept. 11.  She wrote in 2003 in "My Silence Cannot be Bought" that "I owe it to my husband, whose death I believe could have been avoided, to see that all of those responsible are held accountable."  She gave up a 1.8 million legal settlement to sue the federal government.	57	Aircraft accident on Colgan/ Continental Flight 3407 on Feb., 12, 2009.  The airplane crashed while attempting to land.  50 people died in this plane crash.  It was the "first [known] fatal airline crash in the United States in more than two years", according to the Washington Post, page A6, 2/14/09.	Covert murder by covert electronic warfare sabotage of airplane flight suspected.  50 people died in this plane crash.
Feb. 19, 2009	Peter DeMott	Catholic peace activist.  Close to Jonah House in Baltimore.	62	Died from falling from a tree in Ithaca, NY.	Might have been  covertly assassinated by a covert electronic warfare loss of balance zap.  One internet note wonders if it was an "FBI hit job".
March 19, 2009-- This new website StopPoliticalAssassinations.com is posted on the Internet.
May 31, 2009	George Richard Tiller, MD	He directed a medical clinic in Wichita, KS that is only 1 of 3 in America that provides late term abortions (abortions after the 21st week or 5th month). He was targeted by Operation Rescue, including a branch of Operation Rescue that moved to Wichita to target his clinic.  His clinic was firebombed in June 1986.  In 1991 Operation Rescue led a summery of mercy protest targeting his clinic.  He survived an assassination attempt on August 19, 1993.  He wore body armor from 1998-2009.  He was also heavily criticized by the TV Show The O'Reilly Factor from 2005-2009.	67	Shot in the head at point-blank range and killed during a Sunday church service by Scott Roeder on May 31, 2009.  He was wearing body armor, and had been wearing body armor since 1998. He was targeted by Operation Rescue, including a branch of Operation Rescue that moved to Wichita to target his clinic. In June 1986, his clinic was firebombed. On August 19, 1993, Shelley Shannon shot Tiller five times.  Both assassins had some connection to the violently anti-abortion Army of God, where a man named Michael Bray is a key figure.  (FYI, "Ray" is a significant name for black ops who use beam weapons or ray guns.)	Shot and killed during a Sunday church service by Scott Roeder on May 31, 2009.  There is a slim chance the assassin might have been a mind-control victim.	U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced "...I have directed the United States Marshals Service to offer protection to other appropriate people and facilities around the nation."
June 10, 2009	Stephen Tyrone Johns, Holocaust Museum guard.	Stephen Tyrone Johns, Holocaust Museum guard with 6 years of service.	39	Shot by James W. von Brunn, a deranged right-wing violent nut and assassin.  The assassin James W. von Brunn died on Jan. 6, 2011 in a  hospital near Buttner, North Carolina, at age 89, while undergoing mental health evaluations in prison.	The deranged assassin specifically targeted the U.S. Holocaust Museum.  The assassination might have been triggered by covert mind-control technology beam weapons routinely covertly used in the Washington, DC area.  (The assassin also might have been covertly killed by beam weapons in North Carolina.)	Increased concern in the U.S. Capitol, Washington DC, that more people might be assassinated.
Aug. 9, 2009	Michael McLaughlin	Rep. Jan Schakowsky's son-in-law.  Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-IL, Chairwoman of the House Intelligence Subcommittee on Investigations & Oversight, is starting to investigate the CIA.	38	Drowned in a snorkeling accident near Tulum Mexico.	Might have been  covertly assassinated by a covert electronic warfare disabling zap that could have caused a snorkeler to drown. Freedom for Covert Harassment and Surveillance (FFCHS) mentioned this.
Aug. 25, 2009	U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy.	Prominent U.S. Senator	77	Diagnosed with a disabling and fatal brain cancer in May 2008.  Died at his home in Hyannis Port, MA on Aug. 25, 2009 from brain cancer.	Suspected covert electronic warfare beam weapon victim.  (FYI, cancer could  be covertly caused by high levels of radiation exposure.)  He died from the same rare illness that anti-CIA researcher Angus Mackenzie died from in 1982.  Also, 2 of his brothers, including President John F. Kennedy, were openly shot and killed in the 1960's.	Loss of a powerful liberal U.S. Senator.  Then the loss of one U.S. Senate seat that shifted the balance of power in Washington.
Jan. 27, 2010	Howard Zinn	American historian, college professor, bestselling author, political activist.	87	Died of a heart attack while swimming in Santa Monica, CA.	Might have been  covertly assassinated by a covert electronic warfare heart attack zap.  His death was reported by Mark Feeney and Bryan Marquard at 8:20pm 1/27/10, 40 minutes before President Obama's State of the Union speech.
Jan. 27, 2010	J.D. Salinger	Famous author of the 1951 book Catcher in the Rye.   Privacy-focused recluse.  (FYI, the letters "Ry" as in Ryan, Bryan, etc. are critical to FBI, CIA, and black ops aliases.  His novel might have been a 1951 psywar book.  One reviewer complained about the "immorality and perversion" in the book.)	91	Died of "natural causes" at his home in Cornish, NH.  According to BBC, he lived with a nurse at his home from 1980-2010.	Might have been  covertly assassinated, maybe by a covert electronic warfare heart attack zap. According to Wikipedia, at least 3 attempted assassinations were associated with the novel Catcher in Rye.  Joal Ryan notes that Catcher in the Rye was a "touchstone" for the assassin who killed John Lennon.
Jan. 8, 2011	Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz. She initially survived but her brain is very injured from a bullet wound.	U.S. congresswoman from Arizona. D-Ariz.	40	She initially survived being shot in the head in Tucson, AZ at point-blank range but her brain is very injured from a bullet wound.	The assassin, Jared Loughner, 22, was probably a covert hi-tech mind-control  victim.      In one you tube video, he looks like a mind-controlled brainwashing victim, with references to "listener?", "sleepwalking" (advanced mind control work), and "terrorist" (that might be Manchurian candidate assassin training).        In another you tube video, his note "You control every- thought, action, and lifestyle- for the person or people as the mind controller" sounds like he either became a covert mind control worker or wrote down their thoughts that they zapped him with.      I suspect the actual assassination was done by remote-control by black ops using advanced secret hi-tech covert mind-control beam weapons.  It probably included a very strong anger mood setting zap (probably technically a silent sound spread spectrum (aka SSSS or s-quad) cloning the emotions covert beam weapon zap).      FYI, the 1/8/11Tucson taxi driver, initially a "person of Interest" to the police, might/might not  be a covert black ops worker/contractor.  One key warning sign: was he only driving minimal hours despite high cab rental fees?  Regular cab drivers usually work long hours to profit after paying their cab rental fee.  FYI, taxi driver is a common black ops job.
Jan. 10, 2011	Ashley W. Turton	She "was the wife of Daniel A. Turton, 43, the White House's deputy director of legislative affairs for the House of Representatives.  He is President Obama's point man on legislation moving through that body."  -- Washington Post, page B1, 1/11/11.	37	Her 2008 BMW X5 SUV crashed into the interior of her garage in/near Capital Hill in southeast Washington DC before 5am 1/10/11.  She was found dead inside her burning SUV.	Might have been a covert political assassination.  The timing, the closeness to the White House, the improbability of the inconceivably freakish accident, and the surprisingly heavy cumulative family tragedy are all suspicious.      Earlier, Ashley Turton's brother Blair Westbrook suffered serious brain injury in a North Carolina motorcycle accident in the summer of 2010.      FYI, secret anti-brain and/or anti-computer beam weapon could potentially cause vehicle crashes.	Lobbyist death shakes [Capitol] Hill again, according to the Washington Post, page C1, 1/11/11.
Jan. 25, 2002 - Dec. 9, 2008	Suspicious deaths of those who [allegedly] knew too much under Bush's watch. Michael Connell, Raymond Lemme (investigator), Bruce E. Ivins (anthrax attack suspect), David Kelly (in England), J. Clifford Baxter (Vice Chairman of Enron), James Daniel Watkins (accountant), Kenneth Lay (Enron Corp founder), Gary Webb (investigative reporter), Deborah Jeane Palfrey (DC Madam/big-time pimp), Brandy Britton (Maryland prostitute), Adamo Bove (Head of security at Telecom Italia) and Costas Tsalikidis (anti-bugging activists).	Suspicious deaths of those who [allegedly] knew too much under Bush's watch. Note: many of these people are bad guys or people who chose to be evil.  They often lost or anticipating loosing on judgment day (on earth) and the chose to die or died from stress.  However, dead men tell no tales, and some of these mysteries might never be solved.  Some of these people might have been electronic psychological warfare/investigation/ mind control victims before they died.
Dec. 1, 2001	James Daniel Watkins	Arthur Anderson/Enron accountant	59	Died of a gunshot wound to his head.	Might have been an overt murder/covert electronic murder.
Jan. 25, 2002	J. Clifford Baxter	Vice Chairman of Enron	43	Died of a gunshot wound during the Enron scandal.	Might have been an overt murder/covert electronic murder.
July 1, 2003	Raymond Lemme	Investigator, good guy.
July 17, 2003	David Kelly	weapons expert on WMDs in England.	59	He allegedly took 29 painkillers and slit his left wrist soon after experiencing televised public scorn for his Iraq WMD documentation.	Might have been an overt murder/covert electronic murder.
Dec. 10, 2004	Gary Webb	Investigative reporter. One of the good guys.  Investigated CIA contra cocaine smuggling into the United States.	59	Found dead from 2 gunshot wounds to the head.	Probably died from gunshot murder from an enemy's hitman.  (However, covert electronic psychological warfare murder and heavy gangstalking could have driven him to shoot himself.)	Loss of one bold investigative journalist.
March 9, 2005	Costas Tsalikidis	Involved in cell-phone bugging scandal in Greece.	39
July 5, 2006	Kenneth Lay	Enron Corp founder, disgraced millionaire.	64	Heart attack.	He might have been killed by a covert electronic warfare heart attack zap.  There is also a extremely small chance he might have faked his death.  The dead body was quickly cremated.	Enron's disgraced millionaire manager disappears forever.
July 21, 2006	Adamo Bove	Italian policeman investigating a cell-phone bugging scandal in Greece.	41
Jan. 28, 2007	Brandy Britton	Busted Maryland prostitute.	43	Found hanged.	Probably a suicide.
May 1, 2008	Deborah Jeane Palfrey	DC Madam, big-time pimp.	52	Palfrey was found hanging in a storage shed outside her mother's mobile home in Tarpon Springs, Florida.	Probably a suicide.  Might have been a lynching.  Might have been a covert electronic psychological warfare murder.	The big-time pimp/madam who supplied hookers to Washington DC conveniently disappeared forever without any more johns/clients being publicly disgraced.
July 29, 2008	Bruce E. Ivins	2001 anthrax attack suspect.  He might or might not have been guilty and he might or might not have been part of a conspiracy.	62	Overdose of Tylenol with codeine.	Might have been a covert electronic psychological warfare murder destroying Ivins mental health.  Ivins was probably hit with electronic mind-reading and mind-control tech during a sensitive priority FBI investigation.  This technology could have killed him by destroying his mental health.	Unsolved 2001 Anthrax attack mystery is all blamed on one lone dead nut.
Dec. 9, 2008	Michael Connell	Republican political consultant.	45	See main entry.
