You probably want to avoid wild speculation but do you have any possible insights into this, assuming it’s not “natural causes” or an accident?

All along, I never really knew what to make of Matt Simmons. I didn’t post the Bloomberg video below because (no offense intended to family and friends of the man) I started to think that he was using his media access to play his BP short position.

But now… Hmm.

My guess is that, if he was assassinated, it was because of this:

There is no doubt at all that governments have access to exotic, covert assassination methods. I’ll briefly get into some material that might be relevant here.

This is ancient history, of course, but there’s the CIA’s heart attack inducing dart gun that emerged in the Church Committee hearings of the 1970s. This is from Secrets of the CIA:

The atrocities of the apartheid era regime in South Africa included covert assassination projects. Inducing heart attacks was an area of interest. This is from Project Coast: Apartheid’s Chemical and Biological Warfare Programme by Chandré Gould and Peter Folb. RRL is Roodeplaat Research Laboratories:

According to Goosen, the objective was to develop the ultimate murder weapon—a lethal poison that could not be traced during an autopsy (or, if traced, could not be traced back to RRL or the military).

Some RRL research reports appear to support Goosen’s claim that RRL was single minded in this objective. The reports demonstrate an obsession with finding substances that would be impossible to trace post-mortem. A report headed: Product information about botulinum toxin informs the reader that the toxin is soluble in tap water, dam water, milk, beer and wine and warns that mixing the toxin with strongly alcoholic substances such as whisky and gin should be avoided.248 Research done into ionophore antibiotics showed that RRL was “investigating the substances for clandestine use” because “the advantage is that if it can cause acute or subacute heart failure, the ionophore will not be traceable”. Overdoses of antibiotics were also investigated through animal experiments. Overdoses of the veterinary antibiotic monensin was known to attack the heart muscles in ruminants. A horse used in an RRL experiment had nearly died of heart failure. These findings, according to the report, had led RRL to investigate the possibility of using the drugs for covert operations against human beings. To this end, tests had been done on baboons. When mixed with alcohol and administered intravenously, the antibiotics killed the baboons within six hours. No damage to the heart muscle could be found during autopsy, and the substance was undetectable in the post-mortem toxicology results.

I haven’t been able to tell, with any degree of certainty, how closely foreign intelligence agencies worked with the Project Coast-Wouter Basson-RRL octopus, but there is a lot of circumstantial evidence that this thing was connected to several foreign governments. See Gould and Folb (linked above) as well as Did this man ‘kill blacks big time’? In short, I strongly doubt that Wouter Basson thought it all up on his own.

So, do governments carry out covert assassinations that are made to look like heart attacks?

Yes, without any doubt.

Was Matt Simmons assassinated?

I have no idea. That’s the point of covert assassination.

Finally, keep in mind that the methods above are probably stone age relics compared to what is likely available now. I don’t reference them because I think that these methods were used here (maybe, maybe not), but rather to demonstrate what these regimes were doing decades ago.

Update: Drowned?

A former energy adviser to president George W. Bush from North Haven died Sunday.

Matthew Simmons drowned at about 10 p.m. Sunday at a home on Salt Marsh Road, according to a press release from the Knox County Sheriff’s Department. The release did provide any details and the sheriff’s office did not immediately return calls Monday morning.

    I’d wager a large amount of money on suicided for insider info containment.

    They probably put him to sleep so they could put the people back to sleep.

    In light of his recent critical comments about the “static” kill and other slight of hand tricks by BP, this stinks to high heaven. I would classify this as “Petrocide”.

    Mission accomplished — intimidation tactics from the ruling mafia continue to rage on. This ought to shut up any whistleblowers or truthtellers on the inside for awhile again, right? Ironically, from what I’ve heard about Simmons, he poo-poo’d 9/11 truth — I recall a remark Mike Ruppert made once at one of the ASPO conventions about Simmons raising an eyebrow regarding Ruppert’s theory that Cheney was the top 9/11 conspirator. That’s why I was rather surprised at Simmons going out on a limb about the real oil spill. So, I really shouldn’t be surprised at this news. But I was. Now, it’s time for the spin. My disgust will just move another notch higher, inevitably.

    Simmons, who served as an energy advisor to President George W. Bush, asserted earlier this summer, that he expected BP would need to file for bankruptcy protection in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon accident. He also claimed there were two leaks in the Gulf of Mexico, not just the one on which BP had fixed its underwater cameras.

    In the wake of Simmons’ comments, the investment bank Simmons & Co. severed its ties with its founder, who until that point had served as its chairman emeritus.

    This is sad news. Very sad.
    Sites I’ve been too have questioned this man’s veracity and have found that this man had a good heart, and good intentions.
    It is pitiful that the news accounts I’ve seen, showed him with a face that had heart attack written all over it. But that’s how the news is these days. Distorting the life of person to serve the endgame. Any prior pictures where his face isn’t portrayed like one of a beet red cabbage? Comom you morons. I know what you’re up to. Kill the messanger is the game here, eh?
    I admit, I had a sort of worship syndrome with Simmons. He of all people, especially with the Gulf Oil Spill seemed to have a wider view than most of these BP clusterfuckers. I think it is most likely that he was murdered to shut his piehole up so we can just move along. Nothing wrong in the Gulf.
    Stll waiting for a payment from BP to put a down payment on claims in the Gulf. But move along folks. Just another piece of dead meat. Nothing to see here.
    RIP Matthew. All will be avenged. Including your spirit.
    Morons. Let them not have the last spit on your spirit.

    Natthew Simmons death – another case of Collateral Murder. and fluck you killers/

  7. Eileen says:

    And Wukileaks, if you have more truth to tell, bring it on. Spare another human death by “heart attack.”
    I say bring the truth on. Spare no one. There are adults in the room that can handle the freak out. Trust me. I’ve been doing this very thing for YEARS,

    Rest in Peace, Mathew.
