 News of the World Figure Found DeadPosted on Jul 18, 2011
Sean Hoare, the former News of the World correspondent who was the first member of Andy Coulson’s staff to claim the editor knew of phone hacking by his reporters, was found dead in his home Monday. He previously had told the BBC that Coulson’s claim to the contrary was “simply a lie,” and that he was personally asked to tap telephones. The police do not suspect foul play in Hoare’s death. News of it came the same day that John Yates, the assistant commissioner of the London Metropolitan Police, announced his resignation from the force. Yates is facing criticism for neglecting a pile of evidence related to the hacking case. He is the second London police leader to quit in two days.—ARK

There are many ways that the truth comes out. One of those ways is fiction,
our books, our TV, our movies. In England a whistleblower is found dead.
Could the perps be more obvious? John LeCarre might weave us through a
novel that revealed how the nasty game is played. We might see agents of
MI-6 or Scotland Yard make Sean Hoare’s death look like an accident.
If you want to educate yourself and feed your emotions surrounding police
Report thiscorruption, I suggest you watch the three-part British production “Red Riding”
[1974-1980-1983] (2009). Three 90-minute installments just might bring
home the point concerning police corruption.

Strange isn’t it that this seems to happen over and over again, a key witness ‘commits suicide’ whenever there is an expose, or revelation of corruption in some mega-corporation. And it is never connected to the incident in question. Never, oh no, that would hint of conspiracy and we all know that the only people suspect in a conspiracy are those who believe in them. Coincidence and chance are the norms in our society.

Hey, there was nothing suspicious about the DC Madame’s “suicide” either.

Medical Examiners are constantly in touch with the police. Instead of wearing blue
Report thisthey are dressed in white, but they are only cops with a medical degree. Whistle
blowers brought into their labs are always listed as suicides or as a death due to
natural causes. The murder of Mr Hoare is a clear warning to rats, but informers
working for the system are treated with great respect and rarely wind up being
murdered.

There is no person as highly respected as the Medical Examiner. They will be
Report thisbelieved even if they claim that a murdered victim died from an accidental fall.
Rarely are the findings of the Medical Examiner contested. It would not be difficult
for a buddy of the Medical Examiner to strangle his wife and dangle her from a
ceiling pipe. The findings would surely be suicide. It is frightening that any
politically connected or wealthy person can murder whom ever they wish, most
Medical Examiners can use a few extra bucks. The solution to ending the problem
of perfect murders would be to have the Medical Examiner water boarded after he
turns in each of his findings.

So obvious what really happened… and a clear sign to truth seekers what may happen to them if they don’t simply comply with the program.
More brave souls are needed to weed out these dark sinister types ( Murdoch and crew ) and their shills and paid-off lackeys ( Scheer and the like ).

I don’t think it’s going to be healthy to know a lot about the doings of Murdoch and company.

A whistleblower doesn’t kill himself 2 days after making statements- he celebrates.

Adding a dead and possibly murdered key witness to the scandal spices up the

mysterious suicides have become common in a world where murderers can
commit perfect crimes.
