Mr Peterson, also mentioned pressures at work that troubled Maggie.

Explaining his increasingly erratic behavior, she said: ‘He said he wanted to expose something at work. He also got the impression at work, that if they didn’t vote for Obama and get him elected, they would lose their jobs,’

A Virginia man is believed to have killed his wife and two sons in a murder-suicide at their home in Virginia, police said today.

The bodies of Albert and Kathleen Peterson and their sons were found Tuesday morning by police performing a welfare check on the family after one of the adults did not show up to work for two days.

Today, Fairfax County police said that the investigation is now pointing toward Albert Peterson, 57, as the killer. All four members of the Peterson family received gun shot wounds to their upper bodies, according to a statement released by the police.

“The preliminary investigation indicates that Albert Peterson killed his wife and their children before taking his own life,” the Fairfax County police said in a statement.

Kathleen Peterson, 52, worked for defense contracting firm Blackbird Technologies in Herndon, Va., where the couple lived. Albert Peterson had worked for Northtrop Grumman until he resigned in 2009. It is not clear where he was working at the time of the incident.

The couple had two children: Matthew, 16, a high school sophomore, and Christhoper, 13, who was in eighth grade.

Neighbor Jeremy Wilcox told local news radio station WTOP that the family had attended a community picnic together on Sunday and “showed no signs of any problem.”

Another neighbor, Alvaro Lopes, told local news station WNEW that Albert Peterson had tried to commit suicide in the past, and that he had been taking new heart attack medication that seemed to affect his personality.

“He seemed dizzy, just different,” Lopes said. “Hearing about what happened today made me think that could have something to do with it.”

Police would not comment on any possible connection between the deaths and Peterson’s medication.

    Propranolol is a “heart attack medication”, specifically, a beta blocker.

    Here’s another one on Propranolol (from the 70s fer God’s sake):

    This drug is also prescribed for PTSD & as an anti-anxiety med. When people have bad reactions, they’re given an additional drug (or 2 or 3) and told it’s their underlying condition

    Statins are also implicated:

    Psychiatric Adverse Reactions with Statins, Fibrates and Ezetimibe: Implications for the Use of Lipid-Lowering Agents
    recent studies reporting serious psychiatric disturbances in association with statin treatment. Aggressive reactions associated with statins are poorly documented in the literature.These observations emphasise the need to be vigilant in looking for these reactions as they can have a significant personal impact on a patient. The observation that other lipid-lowering agents have similar adverse effects supports the hypothesis that decreased brain cell membrane cholesterol may be important in the aetiology of these psychiatric reactions.

    ” … intelligence sources in this report, however, state that Blackbird Technologies real mission is to produce and keep constantly updated what is called the “Obama Kill List” that was described by the Washington Post News Service as an “assertion of a presidential prerogative that the administration can target for death people it decides are terrorists — even American citizens — anywhere in the world, at any time, on secret evidence with no review.”

    Virtually unknown to the American people about Obama’s Kill List was his expansion of it with his midnight 31 December 2011 signing of a new law called the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (NDAA) which allows the American President to not only kill anyone he wants to without trial or charges, but, also, in Section 1021, allows the US Military to detain indefinitely without trial anyone, including US civilians, it chooses to.

    … the likelihood of two highly placed US defense contractors holding America’s most top secret security clearances, such as Kathleen and Albert Peterson did, makes the report of their deaths being a murder-suicide “highly implausible” as only the most sound of mind persons are able to obtain such classified ratings.

    According to this report, on 22 September a woman who indentified herself as Kathleen Peterson visited the Russian Centre for Science and Culture in Washington D.C. under the pretense of signing up to take a course titled Russian Language Express Course A-1 for beginners set to begin on 26 September whereupon she approached director Yuriy Zaytsev and “slipped into his hand,” while shaking it, an encrypted computer thumb drive covered in a small note that said “please help us we’re in danger.”

    Following “standard protocols” for such instances, when Russian officials are approached on American soil by US citizens, this report continues, the note and thumb drive in question were “processed” according to “established procedures” and revealed the plans of Mrs. Peterson, her husband Albert [both pictured 2nd photo left], and their two children, Mathew and Christopher, to leave Washington D.C. on 23 September on a flight to Paris where it was requested they be met by Russian security personal as this family feared their lives were in danger.
