100 DEAD SCIENTISTS AND MICROBIOLOGISTS -

 

The Master List

" While some of these deaths may be purely coincidental and seem to pose

no connection, many of these deaths are highly suspicious and appear not

to be random acts of violence. Many are just plain murders.

If you see any incorrect dates or errors, please provide me with

accurate information, Thank you!

Peace, Mark "

In the 1980's over two dozen science graduates and experts working for

Marconi or Plessey Defence Systems died in mysterious circumstances,

most appearing to be 'suicides.' The MOD denied these scientists had

been involved in classified Star Wars Projects and that the deaths were

in any way connected.

 

Judge for yourself…

March 1982: Professor Keith Bowden, 46—Expertise: Computer programmer

and scientist at Essex University engaged in work for Marconi, who was

hailed as an expert on super computers and computer-controlled

aircraft.—Circumstance of Death: Fatal car crash when his vehicle went

out of control across a dual carriageway and plunged onto a disused

railway line. Police maintained he had been drinking but family and

friends all denied the allegation.—Coroner's verdict: Accident.

April 1983: Lt-Colonel Anthony Godley, 49—Expertise: Head of the Work

Study Unit at the Royal College of Military Science.—Circumstance of

Death: Disappeared mysteriously in April 1983 without explanation.

Presumed dead.

March 1985: Roger Hill, 49—Expertise: Radar designer and draughtsman

with Marconi.—Circumstance of Death: Died by a shotgun blast at

home.—Coroner's verdict: Suicide.

November 19, 1985: Jonathan Wash, 29—Expertise: Digital communications

expert who had worked at GEC and at British Telecom's secret research

centre at Martlesham Heath, Suffolk.—Circumstance of Death: Died as a

result of falling from a hotel room in Abidjan, West Africa, while

working for British Telecom. He had expressed fears that his life was in

danger.—Coroner's verdict: Open.

August 4, 1986: Vimal Dajibhai, 24

NOTE: My records show this date to be Oct. 1986—Expertise: Computer

software engineer with Marconi, responsible for testing computer control

systems of Tigerfish and Stingray torpedoes at Marconi Underwater

Systems at Croxley Green, Hertfordshire.—Circumstance of Death: Death

by 74m (240ft.) fall from Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol. Police

report on the body mentioned a needle-sized puncture wound on the left

buttock, but this was later dismissed as being a result of the fall.

Dajibhai had been looking forward to starting a new job in the City of

London and friends had confirmed that there was no reason for him to

commit suicide. At the time of his death he was in the last week of his

work with Marconi.—Coroner's verdict: Open.

October 1986: Arshad Sharif, 26—Expertise: Reported to have been

working on systems for the detection of submarines by

satellite.—Circumstance of Death: Died as a result of placing a

ligature around his neck, tying the other end to a tree and then driving

off in his car with the accelerator pedal jammed down. His unusual death

was complicated by several issues: Sharif lived near Vimal Dajibhai in

Stanmore, Middlesex, he committed suicide in Bristol and, inexplicably,

had spent the last night of his life in a rooming house. He had paid for

his accommodation in cash and was seen to have a bundle of

high-denomination banknotes in his possession. While the police were

told of the banknotes, no mention was made of them at the inquest and

they were never found. In addition, most of the other guests at the

rooming house worked at British Aerospace prior to working for Marconi,

Sharif had also worked at British Aerospace on guided weapons

technology.—Coroner's verdict: Suicide.

January 1987: Richard Pugh, 37—Expertise: MOD computer consultant and

digital communications expert.—Circumstance of Death: Found dead in

his flat in with his feet bound and a plastic bag over his head. Rope

was tied around his body, coiling four times around his

neck.—Coroner's verdict: Accident.

January 12, 1987: Dr. John Brittan, 52

formerly engaged in top secret work at the Royal College of Military

Science at Shrivenham, Oxfordshire, and later deployed in a research

department at the MOD.—Circumstance of Death: Death by carbon monoxide

poisoning in his own garage, shortly after returning from a trip to the

US in connection with his work.—Coroner's verdict: Accident.

February 1987: David Skeels, 43—Expertise: Engineer with

Marconi.—Circumstance of Death: Found dead in his car with a hosepipe

connected to the exhaust.—Coroner's verdict: Open.

February 1987: Victor Moore, 46—Expertise: Design Engineer with

College of Military Science. He had been working on testing titanium for

it's resistance to explosives and the use of computer analysis of

signals from metals.—Circumstance of Death: Found dead allegedly from

carbon monoxide poisoning, in his Oxfordshire garage. The circumstances

of his death raised some elements of doubt. His wife had found him on

his back with his head parallel to the rear car bumper and his mouth in

line with the exhaust pipe, with the car engine running. Police were

apparently baffled as to how he could have manoeuvred into the position

in which he was found.—Coroner's verdict: Open.

March 30, 1987: David Sands, 37—Expertise: Senior scientist working

for Easams of Camberley, Surrey, a sister company to Marconi. Dr. John

Brittan had also worked at Camberley.—Circumstance of Death: Fatal car

crash when he allegedly made a sudden U-turn on a dual carriageway while

on his way to work, crashing at high speed into a disused cafeteria. He

was found still wearing his seat belt and it was discovered that the car

had been carrying additional petrol cans. None of the 'normal' reasons

for a possible suicide could be found.—Coroner's verdict: Open.

April 1987: George Kountis (age unknown)—Expertise: Systems Analyst at

Bristol Polytechnic.—Circumstance of Death: Drowned the same day as

Shani Warren (see below) – as the result of a car accident, his

upturned car being found in the River Mersey, Liverpool.—Coroner's

verdict: Misadventure.

(Kountis' sister called for a fresh inquest as she thought 'things

didn't add up.')

April 10, 1987: Shani Warren, 26—Expertise: Personal assistant in a

company called Micro Scope, which was taken over by GEC Marconi less

than four weeks after her death.—Circumstance of Death: Found drowned

in 45cm. (18in) of water, not far from the site of David Greenhalgh's

death fall. NOTE: My records show Greenhalgh also died on April 10, 1987

when he fell off of a bridge. Warren died exactly one week after the

death of Stuart Gooding and serious injury to Greenhalgh. She was found

gagged with a noose around her neck. Her feet were also bound and her

hands tied behind her back.—Coroner's verdict: Open.

(It was said that Warren had gagged herself, tied her feet with rope,

then tied her hands behind her back and hobbled to the lake on stiletto

heels to drown herself.)

April 10, 1987: Stuart Gooding, 23—Expertise: Postgraduate research

student at the Royal College of Military Science.—Circumstance of

Death: Fatal car crash while on holiday in Cyprus. The death occurred at

Computer engineer with Marconi Space and Defence Systems in Stanmore,

Middlesex.—Circumstance of Death: Found dead at his home in Harpenden,

Hertfordshire at the wheel of his car with a hosepipe connected to the

exhaust. A St.Alban's coroner said that Knight's woman friend, Miss

Narmada Thanki (who also worked with him at Marconi) had found three

suicide notes left by him which made clear his intentions. Miss Thanki

had mentioned that Knight disliked his work but she did not detect any

depression that would have driven him to suicide.—Coroner's verdict:

More than 310 Iraqi scientists are thought to have perished at the hands

of Israeli secret agents in Iraq since fall of Baghdad to US troops in

April 2003, a seminar has found.

The Iraqi ambassador in Cairo, Ahmad al-Iraqi, accused Israel of sending

to Iraq immediately after the US invasion 'a commando unit' charged with

the killing of Iraqi scientists.

" Israel has played a prominent role in liquidating Iraqi scientists. The

campaign is part of a Zionist plan to kill Arab and Muslim scientists

working in applied research which Israel sees as threatening its

interests, " al-Iraqi said.

Yoram Kaufman, 57; NASA Researcher Studied Effects of Aerosols on

Climate

From Times Staff and Wire Reports

June 12, 2006

Yoram Kaufman, 57, a leading scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight

Center whose research led to greater understanding of global warming,

died May 31 at Prince George's Hospital Center in Maryland. He was

seriously injured after an automobile struck him while he was riding a

bicycle.

In 1979, Kaufman joined the space flight center in Greenbelt, Md., as a

research scientist. His primary fields were meteorology and climate

change, with a specialty in analyzing aerosols — airborne solid and

liquid particles in the atmosphere. He played a key role in the

development of NASA's Terra satellite, which collects data about the

atmosphere.

Franco Einaudi, director of the division in which Kaufman worked, said

the space flight center had lost " a superstar. "

From 1997 to 2001, Kaufman was project scientist for the flagship

satellite of NASA's Earth Observing System, which includes three

satellites that monitor conditions affecting the Earth's climate.

Kaufman helped develop the experiments and instrumentation of the $1.3

billion Terra satellite, which was launched in December 1999 and has

returned a wealth of information on the travel of airborne particles.

Kaufman, who wrote more than 200 scientific papers, found ways to

measure aerosols to determine whether they were caused by humans or

occurred naturally, and he was working to understand their ultimate

effect on Earth's warming climate.

Mysterious death of top microbiologist

Second BioMérieux heir dies tragically!

July 15th 2006

LYON, France (AP) -- Christophe Merieux, the vice president of French

pharmaceutical group bioMerieux who was kidnapped as a child, has died.

He was 39.

Merieux, unmarried and without children, died Friday of a heart attack

and was found at his family home in this southeastern city, a company

spokesman said.

Merieux was in charge of research and development for the company, which

specializes in vitro diagnosis. BioMerieux was founded in 1963 by

Merieux's grandfather, Charles. The family Institute Marcel-Merieux was

founded in 1897. It is widely considered a pioneer in industrial

vaccines.

The Merieux family, one of Lyon's most prestigious, has lived through

several dramas, with Christophe being kidnapped in 1975 and held for a

ransom of 20 million francs. Charles Merieux paid the kidnappers and

Christophe was freed.

Rodolphe, Christophe's younger brother, was killed in the July 17, 1996,

explosion over the Atlantic Ocean of TWA 800 flight en route from New

York to Paris when a fuel tank caught fire.

THAT IS TOO MUCH OF A COINCIDENCE!!!

I believe that Flight 800 was shot down -- it was not a fuel accident.

Now we know who at least one of the intended targets was on flight 800.
