Over 400 Potential Government Assassinations: Plane Crashes, Suicides, Murders and Cases of "Erotic Asphyxiation" That Need Additional Investigation

"Last July a colonel in Italy's military intelligence service, Mario Ferraro, was found hanged from a bath rail by his dressing gown cord ... Ferraro, it turns out, was working to unravel a massive global traffic in arms, drugs, radioactive materials and gems. ... Among international figures wanted for questioning [is] Licio Gelli, the Grandmaster of the illegal Italian Masonic Lodge, P2. ... This motley crew is named in connection with trafficking everything from Kalashnikovs to plutonium, and recycling the profits through some surprising channels including the ... Vatican Bank. ... Colonel Ferraro almost certainly died because he knew too much. The magistrate in charge of the inquiry team, Alfredo Ormanni**, believes they have reached a crucial stage by uncovering the core mechanism at the heart of the operation, code-named "Cheque to cheque" by Italian police."
Description of a network that sounds an awful lot like the ones given about the "black network", "the nebula" and "the Octopus". (June 3, 1996, The Independent, 'Death, drugs and diamonds in tale of global conspiracy').
** Interesting coincidence: this is the same Torre Annunziata prosecutor whose office in 2000 brought out information on a Russian-centered pedophile snuff ring, a scandal that was completely covered up - a fact that Ormani complained about. The office also showed up in the CIA-Cosa Nostra-Vatican-tied Roger D'Onofrio affair. Torre Annunziata is a small city with 45,000 inhabitants at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. In essence it's a suburb of Naples. ISGP suspects these scandals might be linked and part of what was described by Belgian officials as "la Nebuleuse".

Deaths pertaining to:
"[There was] an explosion aboard the plane and then several smaller ones."
Harold Julian, the only (temporary) survivor of the plane crash that killed United Nations secretary general Dag Hammarskjold, who, together with JFK, was trying to keep Patrice Lumumba in power in the Congo. All three were greatly opposed by the CIA and the Belgian colonists - and all three died under mysterious circumstances. There have been international calls to reopen the investigation. (September 19, 1961, Chicago Daily Tribune, 'Explosions in Dag Plane')
Over the course of all the years doing research for this site, I have come across a great many suspicious deaths, especially when investigating the right-wing of the political spectrum: Le Cercle, the American Security Council and all the deep, dark conspiracies their members have been involved in. Of a total of about 650 peculiar deaths, 400 of the more promising ones have been listed below.
Keep in mind, it is absolutely impossible to have studied each and every case. That's the job of the mainstream media, a job they usually refuse to do. The information will be updated whenever possible.

Rating system
Still a bit experimental. Meant to help readers quickly zoom in on some of the most promising cases. However, it takes a very long time to weigh each individual case and many will probably never be seriously evaluated by me. Keep in mind that even one or two stars can mean a very promising case. The usual problem is just that too little research has been done or that important details of the trial have never been dug up and made available to the public.
Stars | Explanation |
---|---|
Blank | Not rated yet. Often did study those cases to an extent already. |
0 | Death worth noting due to potential motive, position of the person, or unusual circumstances of the death, but officially no reason to suspect foul play. |
1 | Either a strong motive with virtual absence of any evidence/accusations (usually due to a lack of investigation), or the reverse: a death in which there's evidence of a cover up, but without knowing the potential motive. Or potentially a very powerful case, but reported by a questionable source. |
2 | A motive combined with evidence/accusations of a cover-up. Or potentially a very powerful motive without witness testimony or known physical evidence. |
3 | Strong motive and evidence from multiple sources (testimonial, physical) that the official story is incorrect. |
4 | Strong motive and overwhelming evidence from multiple, indisputable sources (testimonial, physical) that the official story is incorrect. Very rare. |
5 | Strong motive and overwhelming evidence from multiple, indisputable sources (testimonial, physical) that the official story is incorrect, followed by a conviction (or official admission) in which the government is implicated. Basically only Patrice Lumumba, but even there details of who exactly has been involved are a little fuzzy. |
Most early deaths related to the Kennedy assassination involve persons with ties to Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby and Guy Banister. Most of these people appear to be corrupt insiders. When the Jim Garrison trial kicks off in February 1967, a few more curious deaths occur related to the same persons. Now everyone that dies is basically a questionable individual. Also, by this time a few ordinary witnesses have made curious adjustments to their testimonies. A final and much higher level wave of deaths takes place when in 1976 the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) kicks off a new investigation, as a result of numerous books and a first public broadcast of the Zapruder film in March 1975. This time most of Jack Ruby's old mafia bosses and associates are offed, a key aristocratic Oswald associate commits suicide, and during the course of the investigation even two key FBI and CIA men suspected of largely having ran the JFK and RFK assassinations also die. Like most other victims, these individuals were about to be subpoenaed by the HSCA.

Considering E-Systems bought the CIA drug trafficking airline Air Asia in 1975, similar accusations against E-Systems, combined with the integration of high technology, shouldn't be that surprising. Former CIA director Admiral Raborn, also of SAIC and Wackenhut, was on the board of E-Systems from 1970 until his death in 1990. The company has had other senior CIA personnel on its board. Besides drug trafficking, various peculiar deaths have also been reported. As is the case with several other affairs, we absolutely do need more details on these deaths to ever seriously analyze them.

First, keep in mind that Clinton's half-brother Roger has been criticized for taking huge bribes/lobbying funds and gifts
from the Gambino crime family to get convicted mafia boss and heroin
trafficker Rosario Gambino released. Rosario was a friend of Michele Sindona
(P2; Vatican/mafia money launderer; billions were lost when his banks and
corporations collapsed). At the same time, Sal Reale, a former Gambino
henchman, was named by Richard Brenneke as the right hand of John Gotti in
paying the CIA for cocaine imports through Mena, Arkansas, at the time Bill
Clinton was governor. (sources)
Second, two documentaries that are a decent start on the Clinton deaths are Pat Matrisciana's The Clinton Chronicles (1994) and Obstruction of Justice: The Mena Connection (1996). On the surface they appear to be respectable investigative journalism, but unfortunately they are little more than an ultra-right, CIA-linked attempt to undermine the Democratic Clinton administration.
Video producer Pat Matrisciana, who has hinted to his own past CIA ties, belonged to the CNP and was backed by Richard Mellon Scaife (who in the late 1980s, by the way, was at CSIS, with Kissinger, Brzezinski, Woolsey, Rothschild, Davignon, etc. - and was on a referral list of the CIA) and leading ultraright CNP member Reverend Jerry Falwell. Another key person involved in The Clinton Chronicles was Larry Nichols, an Iran-Contra fired by Clinton after his involvement became public knowledge.

These mailings happened in the weeks immediately after 9/11. The letters were sent to liberal establishment senators and media outlets and were accompanied by claims as "Death to America... Death to Israel... Allah is Great." Microbiologist Bruce Ivens at USAMRIID, Fort Detrick was the lead investigator of the (highly weaponized) Anthrax spores, but eventually became the main suspect. He died soon after.
July 29, 2008 | Bruce Edward Ivens | Apparent suicide |

Nov. 4, 2008 | Juan Camilo Mourino | Plane crash | |
Nov. 4, 2008 | Jose Luis Santiago | Plane crash | |
Nov. 11, 2008 | Francisco Blake Mora | Helicopter crash |
Information that came out in the wake of the Kiki Camarena death clearly demonstrates that the CIA and Mexican government have been working hand in hand with the drug cartels, with the CIA apparently controlling and employing them as right wing death squads.
Hundreds of journalists have been murdered or disappeared in Mexico in the past decades.
In Ciudad Juarez, on the border with the U.S., many hundreds of young girls, mainly between the ages of 12 and 20, have disappeared since 1993. They are found dead within days, weeks, and sometimes after a year or more. Besides rape, one often-seen pattern is that many women are found with a nipple bitten off and the other breast slashed with a knife.
One woman, Rocio Barrazza Gallegos, was raped and killed in a police parking lot inside the patrol car of a cop assigned to the case of the disappearing women - clearly indicating police complicity.
In 2010 the mother of 16-year-old victim Rubi Marisol Frayre Escobedo was publicly executed by three masked men in front of the state governor's mansion where she was protesting the release of the main suspect: her daughter's boyfriend. Her husband's business was burned down at the same time and his brother was kidnapped. According to the mother, the boyfriend had joined the Zetas cartel after the daughter's disappearance and had threatened her. The media did no follow up reporting.

The following deaths have been linked to Marconi, which in the 1980s was the defense arm of the General Electric Company. This string of deaths began making mainstream headlines in 1987. However, only the names provided with a link have appeared in mainstream newspaper articles. The others only appear mentioned by highly unreliable websites and authors. I do need to look more in depth into this case.
