Adelphi land
There was a shooting in Adelphi the other day. This is where I live, just over the county line on a sliver of land that is Prince Georges county not Montgomery county, and for that in Adelphi Md. It wasn't just a shooting it was a curious shooting, most shootings around here are not that curious. This shooting occured in a quiet neighborhood off the calmer artery of Riggs rd. north vs. my rougher New Hamshire Ave. This shooting had curious timing, curious incidents. A man named Paul Joyal was shot in the balls four days after an interview on NBC's Dateline on the likely murder of a Russian ex patriot in London was broadcast
Expert on Soviet Intelligence Shot in Adelphi - washingtonpost.com. An interview where he laid the blame at the feet of the those inhabiting the Kremlin. He was shot only an hour or so after having drinks with a friend, an ex KGB general at the spy musuem cafe. The Washington Post has written series of stories on this
Analyst Robbed During Shooting - washingtonpost.com or rather versions of a single story they are trying to get straight Analyst's Wallet Not Stolen, Son Says - washingtonpost.com, albeit always in the metro section. A part of the Post even quieter than Joyal's Adelphi neighborhood. It was they say an unexplained shooting, possibly a broken robbery or carjacking. In the US a carjacking can hardly be expected to attract attention. Only by accident has this story gained legs.
It does point out a pattern of Curious Accidents. The death Daniel McGory who taped a segment on the same broadcast as Joyal dead of a heart attack days later. And of course the death of Alexander Litvinenko that they were both commenting on. A brief review of that (and strictly from memory). Litvinenko's sickness was first attributed to food poisoning. When it became clearer it was radiation poisoning another more common type of radiation poisoning was first posited. Plus I recall reading a story which attributed it to radiation treatment for cancer, which appears not to have been the case and I never read that a second time. Only when it was established it was polonium-210, a rare radioactive isotope, was the timeing and trail across London and to flights back to Russia established. None of that was as obvious early on as it appears in hindsight now. None of it was intended or expected to be known. Litvinenko was a broken play, not executed as written. In just the last day or so there was another curious death beyond these incidents, a Russian Journalist, Ivan Safronov, working on a story about arms transfers to Iran "fell" out a five story window
BBC NEWS | Europe | Moscow burial for dead journalist. It happens; journalism is a tough business. In the last 1O years this story notes some eighty-eight Russian journalist have fallen - out of windows, onto bullets
News Safety Institute. Index Page. What does all this mean? In simple, the return of the Red empire. The Reagan republicans appropriated credit to themselves for the fall of the soviet. The reality is that it wasn't them at all - call it a market adjustment. The Russians are in charge of their own destiny; praiseworthy or blameworthy. Still, will the republicans accept credit now for Russia's cheka-flavored imperial return.
