Part of my work as a Blogger involves reading the daily papers. What a relief to be free of this three months hence. On the crime I read about I would make two observations. Firstly the Police Clear-up Rate for crimes of violence that reach the newspapers is extremely high. The police are surprisingly good at finding needles in haystacks.
My other observation is on the increase in the number of stomach-wrenching crimes and the rise in frenzied knife attacks. In the case of the Oxford drop-out who knifed to death the daughter of a Harrow schoolmaster last week…and in several other frenzied knife attacks…drugs is reported to have been a contributing factor…Cannabis in particular.
This adds a third element to my Conspiracy Hypothesis for Anna Lindh’s killing: In addition to having an NLP Trigger Implant the assassin was high on Cannabis which explains the frenzied nature of the attack reported by witnesses. The switching of blood samples in Accident & Emergency is the third element. All this is wildly implausible and gets an Implausibility Index of 89 out of 100. The trouble is my Index for the Official Theory is 99.
I mean who’s kidding whom? Be real! Our assassin just happened to be hanging around outside the right department store at the time that Sweden’s Foreign Secretary happens to be visiting and just happened to have a sudden urge to subject her to a frenzied knife attack in the only random killing of this nature ever carried out anywhere in Sweden. The Official Theory is ten times more improbable than the Conspiracy Theory. I wonder how her two sons are doing?
Before leaving Sweden 8-weeks ago I typed up some notes about my suspects in The Case of Anna Lindh. Guns and Gold Conspiracies were in second and third place on my A-List behind the One World Order Conspirators.
Featuring as a group in seventh place were the Corporate Profiteers…Drug Companies, Chemical Companies and Energy Companies. The Legal Drug Industry spent vast sums rubbishing John Le Carré’s Constant Gardener which would suggest some rather nasty skeletons in the corporate cupboards. Why are corporations permitted to remain outside modern Public Sector Freedom of Information legislation? Trade Unions should have the Right to Know.
In 1984 Anna Lindh became the first woman president of the Swedish Social Democratic Youth League. Her six years as president from 1984 to 1990 were marked by a strong commitment to International Affairs…on behalf of Nicaragua, Vietnam, South Africa and the Palestinians and against the Arms Trade.
Subsequently Anna Lindh had access to insider knowledge on top-secret weapon development programmes…Climate Weapons, Passover Weapons etc…from her old colleagues, from contacts in Foreign Affairs and Environment in Brussels, from insiders in the Swedish Government…eg. SÄPO…and from elsewhere….eg. Stockholm’s Institute for Peace Research (SIPRI).
On 11th June 2003…three months before Anna Lindh’s murder…the Guardian published an interview with the Swedish UN Weapons Inspector in Iraq Hans Blix. Referring to criticisms from the US Blix remarked: ‘They would say I was too compliant with the Iraqis when in reality they meant I was not compliant enough with what the US wanted.’
Blix went on to refer to ‘bastards’ in the US administration who regarded the UN as an ‘alien power’ who ‘would not care if it sinks into the East river’ and who ‘planted nasty things in the media’…although he claimed that he had not cared very much: ‘…an irritant like a mosquito bite in the evening that is still there in the morning.’
Remembering the final collapse of the inspections process, Blix stated: ‘The lowest point was the end when we realised a peaceful resolution to the crisis was not going to happen. That was very disappointing. The war cost a lot in destruction and lives.’
Accentuating the positive Blix pointed out that: ‘we proved beyond a doubt…and under immense pressure…that independent, impartial, objective monitoring can be achieved. We were in nobody's pocket. Every day I get letters from inspectors who want to work again. We're immensely proud of what we achieved.’
On 3rd July 2003…three weeks after Hans Blix’s interview in the Guardian…Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lindh announced his appointment as Chairman of a new independent International Commission on Weapons of Mass Destruction. Anna Lindh told reporters in Stockholm: ‘We must do everything we can to avert the threat posed by weapons of mass destruction. It is very gratifying that Hans Blix is willing to accept the chairmanship. The experience and knowledge he possesses is unique.’ And she went on.
‘The purpose of the Commission is to provide new impetus to the international efforts involved in disarmament and non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and missiles. The Commission will be formed during the autumn of 2003 under the leadership of Hans Blix and will plan to report their recommendations in 2005.’
Thanks to a Bollywood romantic comedy Mahatma Gandhi’s popularity is hitting fresh heights. While much of the world was watching endless repeats of 9/11 Indians were rushing to cinemas in record numbers to see Carry On Munnabhai.
The film took a billion rupees…£12 million…at the Indian Box Office in the first fortnight and is rated as the most popular Bollywood release of the year in Britain and the US. The plot revolves around a radio quiz about the Life of Gandhi. Leaders of the ruling Congress Party have told senior party members to see the film.
