Hey, are any of you guys following the Litvinenko poisoning. Litvineko was a former KGB agent who blamed his own Russian government for several bombing in the 90's, to gain support for another war with Chechnya. Its hard to say if the Russians did do it. If not who? It is interesting that Polonium-210 was used, which is said to be rare and only to be available to governments.

Have you heard the latest? Apparently former Russian PM Yegor Gaidar has also been poisoned. And remember that reporter that died last month, she was poisoned too right?
You think Putin is behind all this?

No, wow I didn’t hear about Gaider. Yeah in Oct a Russian reporter was gunned down in an elevator. Shot 4 times, with a Russian service pistol. She also was a big time critc of the Russian government.
Also I don’t know if Putin was behind it. It seems like since they used such an exotic chemical to poison Litvinenko that whoever did do it is trying smear the Kremlin. But then again Putin could be trying to send a message that you can't get away from the long arm of the Russian government.

Polonium-210 can be purchased legally on the internet. Though, the amount used to create the toxicity level used to kill Litvinenko would be very expensive.

Interesting, but like the site said you would need a million dollars worth and I bet they couldn't even fill the 15,000 order. Plus the website would be wary if anyone ordered that many and there would be some sort of trail from the transaction. I think that site only proves that either someone real rich (maybe russian mafia) or some government had to do with it.

I posted the evidence of it being widely (legally) available to debunk the myth that is very scarce. It's not.
I believe the people responsible for the death are either 1) Russia or 2) a group trying to make it look like Russia did it.
