DR KELLY'S DEATH REVISITED

Dr David Kelly's death of apparent suicide at the time seemed unconvincing and strange in July 2003. Now The Daily Express has revealed that he was writing an expose of his work on anthrax and to rebut the possession by Iraq nuclear or biological weapons.

According to the newspaper, Kelly had advised Blair, the then British Prime Minister, of his conclusions prior to the invasion of Iraq. Kelly was an expert on anthrax, and he had been involved with Apartheid South Africa. As soon as anthrax comes up I am reminded of the murders in Washington, and that inconclusive investigation.

Dr Kelly it seemed accurately predicted the timing and circumstances of his own death according to the report by John Bryne via The Raw Story:

Kelly’s death — said to have been a suicide — has stirred controversy, as it came on the heels of testimony to the House of Commons about a memo which purported that Britain had “sexed up” a dossier on Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction. A Parliamentary inquiry ruled that the death had been suicide, though it also included testimony from a former British ambassador who quotes Kelly as having said, “I will probably be found dead in the woods” if Iraq were invaded.


There was, we are told, that Dr Kelly was involved in a bigger scandal which was the development of anthrax of the Apartheid Government of South Africa. John Byrne reports:

The allegations of a potential Kelly expose come from a new film about biological weapons being debuted in London on the sixth anniversary of Kelly’s death titled “Anthrax War” (the documentary aired earlier this year on Canadian public television). Kelly was an expert in biological warfare agents, as well as a former United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq.

‘‘The deeper you look into the murky world of governments and germ warfare, the more worrying it becomes,” the film’s director, Bob Coen, is quoted as saying. “We have proved there is a black market in anthrax. David Kelly was of particular interest to us because he was a world expert on anthrax and he was involved in some degree with assisting the secret germ warfare program in apartheid South Africa.”

According to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s summary of the film, Coen “was raised in Zimbabwe where the former white regime has been accused of unleashing anthrax against the black population… [who] embarks on a journey that raises troubling questions about the FBI’s investigation of the 21st century’s first act of biological terrorism.

“Coen’s investigation takes him from the U.S. to the U.K. and from the edge of Siberia to the tip of Africa. In a rare interview, Coen confronts ‘Doctor Death’ Wouter Basson, who headed Project Coast, the South African apartheid-era bio-warfare program,” the network’s website adds. “Project Coast used germ warfare against select targets within the country’s black population.


Sometimes conspiracy theories prove to correct. The reason they emerge and are given traction arises from government secrecy. Imagine having a Parliamentary Committee doing the work of an Inquest?
