NEW EVIDENCE PROVES THAT DR DAVID KELLY WAS MURDERED BY BLAIR REGIME!

• Dr David Kelly was found dead on 18 July 2003, just three-days after testifying at the Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee in respect of fabricated intelligence on Iraq's 'imagined' WMD capabilities.

War criminal, Tony Blair

Thames Valley Police, involved in Operation 'Mason' - which started 12 hours before Dr Kelly was reported missing - failed to find the body of the missing Government scientist despite using a helicopter with heat-seeking equipment and flying over the exact spot where his corpse was later discovered.

And, unusually, no inquest into his death has ever been held because it was blocked on the insistence of Tony Blair and Alistair Campbell. Instead, the whitewashed Hutton 'Inquiry' was set up by Tony Blair to investigate the circumstances surrounding his death.

It was revelead just days ago that George Bush and Tony Blair deliberately ignored MI6 and CIA intelligence that showed Iraq had no WMDs in the run up to the disastrous illegal invasion of the country which has suffered more under under the illegal invasion that at any time under Saddam Hussein.

And the latest damning evidence obtained under the Freedom of Information Act shows that a Police Eurocopter EC135 'failed' to detect Dr Kelly's body in the woodland in which his body was later found by search and rescue volunteers.

July 18, 2003:
1.15am: The latest time Dr Kelly could have died
2.50am: Helicopter with termal imaging equipment(below) flies over copse where his body was found - and 'fails' to spot him
8.30am: Dr Kelly is finally found by searcher on the ground

Norman Baker, the Liberal Democrat MP who has written a thoroughly meticulously researched book investigating Dr Kelly’s death, said: ‘Every violent or unusual death warrants a proper inquiry. It is astonishing there has never been an inquest into Dr Kelly’s death. There is no doubt in my mind he was murdered. This information proves his body was not where Lord Hutton thinks it was. The question is, where was it?’

The whitewashed Hutton Report concluded that:

"In light of the evidence which I have heard I am satisfied that Dr Kelly took his own life in the wood at Harrowdown Hill at a time between 4.15pm on 17 July and 1.15am on 18 July 2003. I am satisfied that no other person was involved in the death of Dr Kelly for the following reasons:

• A very careful and lengthy examination of the area where his body was found by police officers and by a forensic biologist found no traces whatever of a struggle or of any involvement by a third party or third parties and a very careful and detailed post mortem examination by Dr Hunt, together with the examination of specimens from the body by a forensic toxicologist, Dr Allan, found no traces or indications whatever of violence or force inflicted on Dr Kelly by a third party or third parties either at the place where his body was found or elsewhere.

• The wounds to his wrist were inflicted by a knife which came from Dr Kelly's desk in his study in his home, and which had belonged to him from boyhood. It is highly unlikely that a third party or third parties could have forced Dr Kelly to swallow a large number of Coproxamol tablets. These conclusions are strongly supported by the evidence of Professor Hawton, Dr Hunt and Assistant Chief Constable Page. I am further satisfied from the evidence of Professor Hawton that Dr Kelly was not suffering from any significant mental illness at the time he took his own life."

According to David Broucher, Britain's Ambassador to the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva, in testimony to the Hutton Inquiry, in late February, 2003, he had asked Kelly "What do you think will happen if Iraq is invaded?" Kelly answered, "I will probably be found dead in the woods." In this statement, Kelly implied, according to Broucher, that his death would be by someone else's hands, not his own.

Before Parliament and under pressure from the media, Kelly denied almost all of his previous WMD comments to the BBC. Why did Dr Kelly criticise and then, under pressure, totally accept Blair's September 2003 pro-war '45 minutes' spin on Iraq's so called weapons of mass destruction? Moreover, why and how did Dr David Kelly die?

Kelly had expressed his earlier (trimmed down) assessments to three BBC reporters and made detailed criticisms of NuLab spin doctors (especially Alistair Campbell) at the Prime Minister's office who were insisting Iraq was a 'clear and present' danger. Kelly expressed the view that there was only a 30% chance that Iraq had any weapons of mass destruction and certainly none that posed an immediate threat to the UK or Iraq's neighbours. And certainly none that could be launched in 45 minutes!

Dr Kelly at the BBC

A month after the end of the war, on May 29, 2003, Andrew Gilligan made the following report on BBC's Radio 4's Today program:

"What we've been told by one of the senior officials in charge of drawing up that dossier [Blair's September 2002 speech justifying war on Iraq] was that, actually, the government probably knew that the 45 minute figure was wrong, even before it decided to put it in. What this person [Dr Kelly] says is that, a week before the publication date of the dossier, it was actually rather a bland production. Downing Street, our source says, ordered for it to be 'sexed up', to be made more exciting, and ordered more facts to be discovered ... and essentially, the 45 minute point was probably the most important thing that was added ..."

On June 2 and June 4, 2003 Newsnight BBC, Susan Watts quoted from the same source (later revealed to be Dr Kelly) as follows:

"The 45 minute point was a statement that was made and it got out of all proportion. They were desperate for information; they were pushing hard for information which could be released. That was one that popped up and it was seized on and it's unfortunate that it was. That's why there is the argument between the intelligence services and the Cabinet Office/Number 10 because they picked up on it and once they've picked up on it, you can't pull it back from them."

Blair's Weapons of Mass Deception

In September 2002, Blair's 'justification' for war was contradicted by many of his own intelligence officers and Dr Kelly…. Blair's Chief of Staff Jonathan Powell wrote to the PM on 17 September 2002, a week before Blair's Speech, saying "We need to make it clear in launching the document that we do not claim we have evidence that Saddam is an imminent threat."

Yet, on 24 September 2002, Blair told the British Public "Saddam has existing and active military plans for the use of chemical and biological weapons, which could be activated within 45 minutes." Guardian newspaper also learned that Blair's 45 minute claim was based on 'hearsay' information from the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6). The revelation that the claim was second hand appeared in an internal Foreign Office document released by the Hutton Inquiry. tremendous pressure from the British Government, Dr Kelly was essentially instructed to 'shut up'. Crumbling to this pressure he completely reversed his previous statements to the BBC when he testified before the Foreign Affairs Committee on Tuesday, July 15, 2003.

Dr Kelly could no longer remember naming Alistair Campbell as the source of the 45 minute spin (even though he had named Campbell and the Number 10 press office to BBC's Andrew Gilligan and to Susan Watts on audio tape played before the Hutton Inquiry). Kelly was asked, "Do you believe that the document [Blair's September, 2002 speech] was transformed by Alistair Campbell?" Kelly answered, "I do not believe that at all." Kelly was asked (in Question 101) by Andrew MacKinlay: "So you made no comments about the veracity of that document [Blair's September speech] at all to Gilligan. You did not say it was exaggerated, embellished, probably over-egged?"

Dr Kelly answered in a very low voice (hard to hear): "No I had no doubt that the veracity of it was absolute." Certainly 'absolute' truth is not the language of currency used by scientists. Question 144 by Chairman Donald Anderson was: "What lessons have you learned from this episode?" Kelly responded, "Never to talk to a journalist again, I think." It was the proper response - in terms of ensuring future State control of 'spin/propaganda' at all times.

In question 131, Richard Ottaway asked if he said the words '45 minutes' to the BBC's Susan Watts. The question was, "You deny that those are your words?" Kelly answered, “Yes!”. An audio tape taken by Susan Watts was given to the Hutton Inquiry.

Question 141 saw Richard Ottaway again ask, "My final question is what sort of threat do you feel Iraq posed to the rest of the world in September 2002?" Kelly replied, "I think I would quote the dossier, that it was a 'serious and current threat.'" (Kelly's reference to the 'dodgy-dossier' was as if quoting chapter and verse from Campbell's poisoned scripture.)

Question 159 witnessed Sir John Stanley going for real blood asking, "Why did you go along with this Parliamentary committee? You were being exploited, were you not?" Kelly, feebly said, "I would not say I was being exploited." But Sir John Stanley did not let up in Question 160. He asked: "Why did you feel it was incumbent upon you to go along with the request that clearly had been made to you to be thrown to the wolves not only to the media, but also, to this committee?" Kelly responded, "I think that is a line of questioning you will have to ask the Ministry of Defence. I am sorry." Kelly suggested the reasons why he agreed to appear were not his own but those of the MoD.

Question 161, Chairman Donald Anderson, wanting to make clear the witness had not been mistreated in any way asked, "Do you feel any concern at the way the Ministry of Defence responded after you volunteered your admission?" Dr Kelly: "I accept what happened."

Question 167, without mercy, Andrew MacKinlay asked: "Have you ever felt like a fall-guy? You have been set up, have you not?" Dr. Kelly: "That is not a question I can answer." And Question 168, Andrew MacKinlay: "But you feel that?" Dr. Kelly, "No, not at all, I accept the process that is going on." Question 169, Chairman: "I'm sorry, you accept… [what]?" Dr. Kelly: "I accept the process that is happening." Question 174, Mr Oliver: "Did you suggest to anyone at all that the intelligence services were unhappy about the September dossier?" Dr. Kelly: "Unhappy? I do not think they were unhappy. I think they had confidence in the information that was provided in that dossier."

Everyone was happy and confident that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction that were ready to launch in 45 minutes. And everyone was 'happily' convinced of the wisdom of Blair and Campbell's September 2002 speech and the subsequent catastrophic war in which over 100,000 people have died. The Ministry of Defence, Tony Blair, Alistair Campbell and then Dr David Kelly all agreed, and yet, the problem remained simply because the truth remained, irrespective of who lined up with whom - the dossier on WMD was fabricated to 'justify' an illegal war.

So much for the 'absolute' veracity (honesty, accuracy, truth) of Blair's September speech. And on 30 August 2003, Alistair Campbell, the man who was "heavily involved in producing the September dossier" and the man who "suggested leaking Dr Kelly's name to a journalist," resigned his job as Tony Blair's Director of Communications. Would Campbell have resigned if Dr Kelly had not died and the British anti-war public had not demanded answers?

Kelly goes before Parliament

Kelly was only a year away from his pension and had a wife, Janice, and three daughters. Without a doubt, Kelly wanted to provide some security for his family. Kelly also wanted to avoid any police charges and criminal court cases for any security breach. In his testimony before Parliament, Kelly stated implausibly, "I think it has been agreed by the Ministry of Defence there was no security breach involved in the interactions I had."

Reports indicate that the Ministry of Defence debriefings were particularly brutal. Kelly was debriefed in a 'safe house', (allegedly a bungalow near Southend, Essex) for several days in complete isolation from his family and the world. According to the Guardian, "The Kelly family has complained about the biologist's treatment at the hands of the Ministry of Defence." The widow of Dr Kelly even called Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon to her home to lay out her complaint.

Alistair Campbell told the Hutton inquiry that Hoon's first response to Kelly's actions was that it was "a serious disciplinary matter and had clearly caused the government difficulty and embarrassment." In other words, "serious disciplinary matters" were in the works and Kelly's fears were no doubt increased by the mixed day and night debriefings, clearly designed to throw his senses. The latter apparently went so well for the government that on July 7, 2003, Prime Minister Blair was able to tell "the BBC Chairman that the scientist was likely to deny Gilligan's story."

According to David Broucher, Britain's Ambassador to the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva, in testimony to the Hutton Inquiry, in late February, 2003, he had asked Kelly "What do you think will happen if Iraq is invaded?" Kelly answered, "I will probably be found dead in the woods." In this statement, Kelly implied, according to Broucher, that his death would be by some one else's hands, not his own.

According to Janice Kelly, his wife, "I had never known him to be as unhappy as he was then . . . he had a broken heart. He had shrunk into himself, but I had no idea of what he might do later." According to Kelly's 30 year-old-daughter her father was "very, very deeply traumatised."

But interestingly, he was not in a typical passive depressed state. He was, as Janice testified, also 'angry' about his House of Commons Committee testimony being 'televised' - being thrown to the lions in the arena. In the words of Mrs Kelly, "He went ballistic, he just did not like that idea at all." Kelly also felt 'betrayed' by his bosses for revealing his name to the media.

According to the Kelly family statement, "Events over recent weeks made David's life intolerable." More pointedly, the conservative Economist magazine asked, "Whether, officials bullied him to the point of suicide." Or as Labour MP Glenda Jackson suggested, "We have seen a highly respected, innocent, devoted public servant being sacrificed as the result of a quite deliberate political strategy to afford a smoke screen [for Blair's pro-war policy]".

In Japan, a British journalist, during a news conference, asked Blair, "Have you got blood on your hands, Prime Minster? Are you going to resign over this?" The Prime Minister appeared stunned by the question and glared in response, said nothing and walked out of the press conference.

Britain's very own answer to Joseph Goebbles, Press Officer Alistair Campbell was said to be furious and challenged Blair in the usual bullying tone: “What the fuck was that, you know the line on this, what were you doing, why didn't you answer? This is what you wanted, you asked for this, so play the game Tony!” After that Blair continually trotted out the tired line about waiting for the [Hutton] Inquiry before commenting.

The safe house intensive MoD debriefings and the televised parliamentary hearings certainly had an effect on Kelly's state of mind. Professor Keith Hawton, who teaches psychiatry at Oxford University, testified after Kelly's death. He said, “Kelly felt publicly disgraced ... his life's work had been, not wasted, but totally undermined." When asked directly what factors led to Kelly's death, Professor Hawton replied, "The major factor was the severe loss of self-esteem resulting from his feeling that people had lost trust in him, and his dismay at being exposed to the media."

Governments and their intelligence agencies (spooks) have the techniques to induce suicide or severe behaviour modifications in selected victims. The overall plan, as Professor Hawton suggests, is to induce a loss of self-esteem by breaking all dependable relations of trust at the work place, in public life and at home. In short, create conditions of total isolation, even outside the isolation techniques of safe house debriefings. Public exposure of the victim's hidden secrets to the media is usually part of the premeditated plan.

Clearly, we don't know what happened in the debriefings or whether the televised hearings and the attacks on Kelly's self esteem were intended to destroy only his reputation and character or his physical body as well. We do know that Dr John Reid ['former' Communist]; the cabinet's 'leading bruiser' referred to the Kelly leaks as the work of “rogue elements” in the intelligence services.

If Kelly did take his own life, then surely Blair, his cabinet and the embedded spin doctors are clearly responsible for provoking his death by their malevolent attacks, their attempts to question his character, and their isolation debriefing techniques and thus are guilty of manslaughter at the very least.

And there are clear indications that Dr David Kelly could have been murdered, possibly by agents of the British or American Government, more likely the former. There are several reasons for thinking this. The first and obvious reason is Kelly predicted it would happen in precisely the way it did and he was a clinically-minded scientist, not a clairvoyant. Remember the famous Kelly statement quoted above: "I will probably be found dead in the woods"after Iraq is invaded.

Kelly also refers to “dark actors”playing games in an email shortly before he died. Kelly also, as his wife clearly said, was still capable of anger and rage at being 'betrayed' by the Ministry of Defence. Kelly was not the completely depressed, passive broken man some have painted him to be.

Scott Ritter, who worked with Kelly as part of the UN weapons inspections team in Iraq, has commented on Kelly's strong character as many others have. Ritter said, "While a gentle man, he had a core of steel in him. I've seen him interact with Iraqi governmental officials; there is no give in this man."

So how do we account for the 'give' of a seemingly broken man appearing before the television cameras at the parliamentary hearings humbly supporting the Blair/Campbell September 2002 media spin? First, it's important to read between the lines. This was just a public show put on by Kelly to release him from the unknown threats made by the Ministry of Defence.

Privately in session with MPs, shortly after the televised hearings, Kelly admitted he could have used the term 'sexier' with Andrew Gilligan of the BBC when describing the changes No 10 spin doctors demanded in the Blair speech. According to The Weekly Telegram, Kelly also told the MPs during the same "private hearing that he felt it was 'unwise' to include in the Government's September dossier the claim that Iraq's weapons could be ready in 45 minutes." Kelly was still the critical thinker, still calling a spade a spade.

And Kelly had precise future plans about which he was very excited. Tom Mangold, a TV journalist and associate of Dr Kelly, said that he "was passionately interested in what happens in Iraq." And as Richard Hatfield, the Ministry of Defence's Personnel Director has pointed out, Kelly was being "encouraged to go to Iraq." Hardly the intentions of a suicidal man!

According to Kelly's friend Professor Alistair Hay (who e-mailed Kelly a week before his death) Kelly said, "He wanted to get back to Baghdad, and do some real work." So we have a man with a loving wife, three daughters, good friends, a passion to work in Iraq with the US Survey Team and an employer who's willing to send him to Iraq. Interestingly enough, several months after Kelly's death, the same US Survey Team reported that they had found no weapons of mass destruction and Blair's future was on the line.

If Kelly was still alive, his words of caution about 'spin' would have been widely accepted wisdom. Perhaps, then, he would have remained quiet or maybe even counter-attacked to counteract his Government-given bad reputation as a 'rogue' element. And it cannot be ignored that nine other microbiologists, like Kelly, died within a five-month period in late 2001 and early 2002. Several were well known to Kelly and most died under suspicious circumstances. So Kelly's "dead in the woods" comment occurs within this context as well. Kelly was no clairvoyant, he simply understood the nature of power politics, or at least thought he did.

It should also be remembered that Kelly was just one year away from retirement and a pension. A great deal to look forward to: A final tour or Iraq and retirement. One of his daughters was getting married in October and Kelly was looking forward to being there to celebrate the event. Surely Kelly, with his 'core of steel' standing up to Iraqi military guards with guns pointed at him had the character to weather this fierce storm. Furthermore, he had deeply held religious beliefs. He was an active member who recently converted to the Bahai faith just four years previously and the Bahai faith precludes suicide!

It is also interesting to note that there was no suicide note. If Kelly felt he was wronged or betrayed by his employers, surely a parting comment would come forth setting the record straight. Perhaps, a last Rourke's Drift-like defence of his position on the 45 minute spin but there was nothing. More importantly, there was no farewell note to his wife or daughters that explained his actions or that just said goodbye to the ones he loved. Nothing on the computer or in handwritten form. Very unusual for a deeply loving father….

Even stranger still is the fact that very few major media outlets have raised the question of Dr Kelly being murdered. It was a suicide and that was that, even before a police report had been issued. The notable exception to this line was James Wickham of the Daily Star, who asked in his page lead on 19 July 2003: “Was Dr Kelly murdered?”

The circumstances of Kelly's death are also questionable: No sudden suicide but a very gradual one in which one has many opportunities to reverse the process. Lots of time for thinking and re-evaluating. And Thames Valley Police began a missing persons search (Operation Mason) into his disappearance 12 hours before his wife reported him missing….

The analgesics beside him were unlikely to have caused unconsciousness. On the other hand, a killer or group of killers could have placed a handkerchief containing chloroform forcefully over his mouth until he was unconscious. Then, the killers could have taken Kelly's own knife and slit his wrist and left him there to die without any major signs of a struggle or bodily injury.

For an eminently skilled microbiologist, the means chosen for suicide was painstakingly slow, decidedly low-tech and completely uncharacteristic. There are few men on this planet with Kelly's expert knowledge of the chemical and biological ingredients necessary for an instant and relatively painless suicide. Yet, we are led to believe he chose the slowest, most low-tech and agonising method to die.

State-sponsored assassination is the most likely explanation. And who would have a motive? Those very same members of the Government that had been attacking him for months, especially those from No 10, the MoD and the intelligence services (MI5/MI6). And Tony Blair never did answer the question whether he had blood on his hands!

The present case for murder, or more precisely, political assassination rests on more than Kelly's own prediction (6 months earlier) that he would be murdered 'in the woods' once the Iraq war started. Every military-intelligence agency (CIA/ MI6) requires secrecy in the service of their political masters. Kelly violated that code of conduct in favour of exposing the truth and dead men tell no tales.

Kelly's Last Day

Kelly sent several emails three hours before his final walk. He wrote to Gaeta Kingdom at Oxford University saying, "Many thanks for your thoughts and prayers. It has been a remarkably tough time. Should all blow over by early next week, then I will travel to Baghdad a week Friday."

There was also an email to Judith Millers saying, "Judy, I will wait until the end of the week before judging many dark actors play games." His decision to wait a week before making a judgment on the fallout from his parliamentary confession is absolutely clear. Again, the exact date of the future Iraq trip is firm in mind before his final walk.

As planned, he left for his walk at 15.00hrs, on 17 July. Exactly one mile down the road, Kelly met Ruth Absolm, a neighbour. Ruth claims Kelly "seemed his normal self" and left her with a 'cheerio' and a promise to 'see you later'. Kelly's family reported him missing at 23.45hrs that same evening. The following morning at 09.30hrs., Louise Holmes and Paul Chapman, members of the Southeast Bedfordshire Emergency Volunteer Group, found "Kelly's body sitting up against a tree with blood on his left arm in a secluded glade about 50 yards away from a nearby path surrounded by impenetrable brambles."

Thames Valley Police officers and an ambulance called to the scene told the Hutton Inquiry that, "His (Kelly's) jeans had ridden up and there was a patch of blood on the right knee." Despite these facts, the head of the search team, PC Jonathan Sawyer, later commented that, "There was no sign of a struggle" and "all the vegetation that was surrounding Dr Kelly's body was standing upright."

How Kelly or Louise Holmes or the ambulance crew or (possibly) his killers got through the 'impenetrable brambles' without crushing some of the vegetation is not explained. More importantly, the 'ridden up' condition of Kelly's jeans and the visible blood on his right knee indicate to signs of a physical struggle.

This raises the possibility, yet to be established of Kelly being rendered unconscious (by an assassin) and then being dragged to a hiding place by his feet while his head was facing the ground, thereby causing his injured knee to drag on the ground and his jeans to be hiked up above his knees. Remember only the left wrist was slit and the right knee displayed the most blood…. The paramedics, Dave Bartlett and Vanessa Hunt, attending the scene confirmed that the blood loss was inconsistent with that of a victim of suicide by wrist-slitting.

Local police claim Dr Kelly was an 'avid walker' and had a 'good local knowledge' of the many footpaths surrounding his home - not the kind of guy who would fall and hurt his knees 'unassisted'. When the police arrived at the scene and before the body was identified as Kelly's, Acting Superintendent Dave Purnell of the Thames Valley Police boldly stated, "We haven't ruled anything out yet."

Later, after Kelly was identified, Dave Purnell tempered his remarks by suggesting the case was being treated as an 'unexplained death' - the benefit of hindsight. Finally, two weeks later, after the media was almost uniformly proclaiming suicide, the local coroner Nicholas Gardiner made it official. Kelly died from an 'incised wound' to the left wrist.

Strangely enough, Mr. Gardiner, according to BBC News, "refused to reveal the results of toxicology tests until a full inquest." When he attempted to present the 'results' taken from the retained left-lung, at the Hutton Inquiry, he was cut short by Lord Hutton and his 'testimony' was ended. Was the coroner about to reveal embarrassing facts to contradict suicide? Whatever the truth, he was not given a chance….

It wasn't until a month later, on 3 September 2003, that toxicologist Richard Allan told the Hutton Inquiry that Dr Kelly had taken "quite a large overdose" of Coproxamol, the prescription-only drug which his wife took for her arthritis. According to Richard Allan, Kelly "took about 30 tablets… an hour before [his] death." Allan claims he is 'uncertain' whether the drugs killed Kelly. According to medical research, Coproxamol has been used as a suicide drug but the "toxic effect may take several days before symptoms develop".

Coproxamol "initial symptoms after taking more than the recommended dosage are often no more than mild nausea and vomiting. As liver damage develops over the following days, right abdominal pain may be experienced. If no treatment is taken to halt or reverse the liver failure death can be the result.

Kelly died in hours, and Coproxamol by itself takes days to become lethal but combined with Succinylcholine a 30mg dose is enough to kill any human-being quickly. After death Succinylcholine metabolises in the blood and there is no trace to be found unless one knows exactly what to look for. And the coroner was not looking for Succinylcholine….

Clearly Richard Allen is knowledgeable in this area and yet he remains 'uncertain' because other 'substances' mixed with Coproxamol, even those as mild as alcohol, might have produced a fatal death. Richard Allen makes no mention of any other dangerous toxic substances in Kelly's body. Perhaps, once again, this is a matter for a final inquest that cannot be 'influenced' by the Government. But that is the point: in Britain today no inquest can be independent and free of State interference. The agencies of State exist to uphold their own paper base....

The Loaded Process

It was left to Dr Nicholas Hunt, a Home Office Pathologist and 'loyal government servant' to deliver the verdict to the Hutton Inquiry. According to Dr Hunt, Kelly "had planned his suicide in intricate detail." Apparently in such intricate detail that even Kelly was not aware of it when sending his morning emails and preparing to embark to Iraq - absolutely stunning!

The 'intricate details' include the removal of a watch and spectacles, which according to Dr Hunt "suggested a deliberate act of self-harm." (Kelly's bloody knee and dishevelled jeans were conveniently not mentioned. One also wonders how removing one's glasses is a deliberate act of self-harm?) Dr Hunt said the main factor in Kelly's death was "bleeding from an incised wound in his left wrist."

But only the Ulnar artery had been cut on Dr Kelly's left-wrist which leads to vaso-constriction or self-sealing after approximately a quarter of a pint of blood is lost. This amount of blood loss is entirely consistent with the evidence of the paramedics who attended the body. To bleed out from a slit-wrist one has to cut the Radial artery to ensure death from haemorrhaging. Dr David Haplin a leading surgeon has said that Dr Kelly could not have died from the opening of the Ulnar artery. Dr Haplin has been supported by a raft of other leading doctors in the field of haematology and diagnostics.

Dr Hunt's comments were not the result of a final inquest. Ironically or maybe conveniently, the Hutton Inquiry actually prevented a final Corner's Inquest. In fact, "the inquest was adjourned under Section 17A of the 1988 Coroner's Act which allows a public inquiry conducted by a judge to fulfil the function of an inquest." Cometh the hour, cometh the Hutton.

So it appears that the Hutton Inquiry dedicated to finding the 'facts' behind Kelly's death actually becomes a mechanism for a cover-up and which fact was not lost on Government lawyers. Mr Gardiner, the Oxford Coroner, was not happy about the "premature death" to his coroner's inquest because five key witnesses refused to let their inquest statements be passed on to the Hutton Inquiry.

In fact, fewer than 70 out of 300 witness statements taken by the police were given to Lord Hutton. Why were the majority of witness statements excluded, including that of Mai Pederson, the American military intelligence spy who was Kelly's translator in Iraq and became his close friend?

Mai Pederson actually refused to make a statement to the police, even though she was in the top 12 of Kelly's friends to be interviewed. As a result of this, Coroner Gardiner had envisaged restarting the final inquest and hearing all the witnesses denied to Hutton. One would expect that if Gardiner values his life and career, he will be under governmental pressure not to proceed. Hence, a final and perhaps revealing inquest may never be conducted into the death of Dr David Kelly.

As suggested by the Mail on Sunday (7 September 2003), Mai Pederson may "hold the key to the lonely, mysterious death of Dr David Kelly." Dr Kelly first met Mai Pederson in Iraq in December 1998 during a UN weapon's inspection tour. She was an Arabic-speaking United States Air Force Sergeant trained as a spy. According to the MoS report, an expert had claimed, "the CIA was desperate to get information out of inspectors" and there was a policy of teaming up "alongside some of the more uncooperative weapons inspectors".

Mai Pederson also introduced Kelly into the Bahai faith and took him to Monterey, California to take his 'religious vows'. It is not clear whether Kelly and Pederson were lovers, but her husband suggests that her spying style might involve a sexual dimension. Her husband, US Air Force Sergeant Jim Pederson described his wife as invaluable in that she doesn't look like military intelligence because she's tiny and beautiful and flirts with sources in a manner designed to gain intelligence.

But interestingly enough, she's also proficient with a gun and basic unarmed combat. Even more interesting, Mai phoned her friend John Von-Berg at the Bahai headquarters in California on the day Kelly's body was found. She told him, "It wasn't suicide. There will be more coming out of this." How could she be so adamant and what did she really know? John VonBerg, her Bahai leader and friend, claims she also said, "Don't believe what you read in the newspapers." John VonBerg, a transparent apolitical spiritual seeker, commented, "I do not know where she was coming from. It's very mysterious to us."

Unfortunately, not a peep has been heard from Mai since January 2004 when she again went on record with the Mail on Sunday. It is possible that she is still in hiding at Maxwell-Gunter US Air Force base near Montgomery, Alabama, where she was stationed. According to the Mail on Sunday on 7 September 2003, a Pentagon spokesman said, "I can tell you emphatically that we are not hiding her."

A US Air Force spokesman said that her work number was still located in the Pentagon's internal phone book but her extension was not working. Her last known home phone number in a Washington suburb has been reassigned. The secretive Mai Pederson will likely remain silent, unless she is willing to accept the terrible fate of Dr David Kelly. One can understand her very real fears. The US/UK governments certainly would not allow her to collapse the house of cards….

Kelly's death was designed to intimidate all those who work for defence intelligence agencies in the US/UK. The lesson is simple: You talk, you die, the mafia 'ethos'. If Kelly had been permitted to go to Iraq and play a leading role in the 1,500 person US Iraq Survey Team, the lesson would have been: You talk, you walk, you live on and retire with a nice pension. In short, you tell the truth, talk to the press and you can continue doing your job. But that is not the kind of example that the CIA/MI6 nexus would like to see paraded before their 1,500 intelligence officials in Iraq or anywhere else for that matter.

This, then, is the key motive for the political assassination of Dr David Kelly. The business of proving who killed him is likely to be as difficult as proving who killed Princess Diana in which there was clear MI6 involvement. And who are those “dark actors” playing the games that Dr Kelly was aware of? According to Time onLine, there was an unopened letter in Kelly's study from Richard Hatfield, the Ministry of Defence Personnel Director.

Dr Kelly's fingerprints were not on the letter. The letter warned that “disciplinary action could follow if new material came to light." Kelly, or members of his household, were obviously not interested in hearing from his employer. Kelly took a walk instead, a walk where the ultimate 'disciplinary action' was enforced. 72 hours before Kelly was reported missing, the chatter around Whitehall had been that he would be 'taken down' if he continued to speak out. As Stalin said: “No man, no problem!” And the considerable threat that Kelly posed to the belligerent plans of Bush and his poodle Blair curtailed in a sad 'suicide' of a man who 'apparently' could not take the pressure.

Had Kelly persisted to tell the truth regarding the fabricated '45 minute' claim, it was likely that Blair could have fallen and his elective dictatorship with him. But as Kelly fell ad infinitum, the cash for honours crook Blair stood up for war; a war in which he was eager to 'draw first blood', according to his former spin doctor Lance Price. In reality, Blair, Campbell and John Scarlett had caught war fever, a seemingly incurable affliction. And Scarlett's reward for inserting the '45 minute' claim in the dodgy dossier was promotion to Controller or 'C' of MI6.

Alistair Campbell had insisted the 45 minute claim be inserted into the dodgy dossier to press upon the British public and the world, the 'urgency' for war. Will history record this calculated fiction in the same context as Hitler's fabricated attack on the Gleiwitz radio station? But history is written by the victors and it is hoped that the truth will triumph instead, although it rarely does.

The very essence of spin doctoring is to turn the truth into a lie and the lie becomes the truth. Or as Orwell wrote: "A lie becomes a truth and then becomes a lie again." When the lies were no longer plausible, Campbell resigned in orchestrated fashion. With a new king of spin at No 10, the lie became the truth; from now on it's the truth, said Des Kelly, the superlative spin. 'From now on it's the truth', so let us explore the truth and tell it the way it is.

We have tested Michael Shrimpton's theory of how Dr Kelly was killed and found it to be nothing but another information operation planted on the Alex Jones radio show. Shrimpton was eager to assure the audience that MI5 and MI6 were livid that Kelly had been murdered. Shrimpton is a lawyer in the employ of the spooks, by his own admission, one must remember….

In logical terms, if the spooks knew Kelly was going to be taken down (Whitehall chatter) why leave him completely unprotected? The spooks knew of the rumours circling around Whitehall and took no action to ensure Kelly's safety, not even a single armed Special Branch goon to protect him. One could be forgiven for thinking that under the circumstances, the spooks wanted him dead because dead men tell no tales.
With Kelly out of the way and the Hutton 'Inquiry' whitewashed, Tony Blair was free to prosecute his illegal war. To date over 500,000 Iraqis have been slaughtered in an illegal war designed to cement US control over oil supplies and to guarantee Israel's borders. Blair has fulfilled his desire to go down in history but with much blood on his hands… blood and oil, instead of Hitler's blood and soil.

These historic stains cannot be eradicated as easily as Saddam's regime. When war criminal Tony Blair resigned as Prime Minister in June 2007 he did so in complete disgrace, a 'man' whose only achievement in government was to turn lying into an art form. No one should be surprised though that Blair lied through his back teeth, he was an overpaid professional liar (barrister) long before he became a politician.

And another prime motive for MI6 wanting Dr Kelly eliminated is the rumour that he was an MI6 asset, responsible for the debriefing of Soviet scientist Victor Paschehnik, who died suddenly in 2001. And Dr Kelly also debriefed South African chemical weapons expert, Wouter Basson. It is perfectly clear that Dr Kelly was a very well informed government scientist....

• Norman Baker MP for Lewes, challenged Thames Valley Police over discrepancies in the 'official version' of Dr Kelly's dubious death. Using the Freedom of information Act, the MP was ascertained that NO fingerprints were found on the gardening knife with which Dr Kelly is alleged to have slit his wrist. Norman Baker does not accept that the government scientist killed himself and has campaigned for a new investigation to be conducted.

• The police would have us believe that Dr Kelly killed himself by slitting his wrist with a blunt knife on which no fingerprints were found. Norman Baker said: "The angle you pick up a knife to kill yourself – there would be fingerprints. Someone who wanted to kill himself wouldn't go to the lengths of wiping the knife clean of fingerprints. And wearing gloves would seem very odd when you are about to cut your own wrists. It is very strange." The MP also has serious doubts about the type of injury caused by the blunt knife.

• To determine just how unusual the injury was, Mr Baker asked the Office of National Statistics how many people in the UK died in 2003 from a cut to the ulnar artery. He was told that Dr Kelly was the only one, sparking fears that dissident Dr Kelly was murdered to keep him quiet.
