What a coincidence! Breitbart's coroner dead from arsenic poisoning?
RT ^ | 05/03/2012

Posted on 05/05/2012 1:43:03 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

The unexpected death of conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart just got a whole lot more mysterious. Only two months after Breitbart’s passing, the coroner that investigated the cause of death may have succumbed to arsenic poisoning.

Michael Cormier, 61, passed away on April 20, the Los Angeles Times reports this week. Although Cormier’s death is only being publicized now, the timing of actual passing actually came within hours of the release of the preliminary autopsy report of Breitbart.

Commenting to the Times on the latest news, Lt. Alan Hamilton of the Los Angeles Police Department says that investigators have not ruled out foul play in the death of Cormier. Authorities have yet to confirm how they believe arsenic entered his system — or if the coroner was deliberately poisoned — but Cormier passed away after being admitted to a hospital in Burbank, California last month after displaying symptoms typical with the illness.

Now as investigators consider how Cormier’s life came to an end, others are still probing the untimely passing of Breitbart, an event which spawned conspiracy theories within minutes. As some have spent the last several weeks considering the pieces of the puzzle involving the journalist’s death, an unusual twist has been added to the mix.

Hours after the death of Breitbart was confirmed in early March, skeptics were quick to question what role his passing may have had in relation to a public address he delivered earlier in 2012. Speaking to the audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. only weeks earlier, Breitbart claimed he had videos that would end the political career of US President Barack Obama.

“I have videos, this election we’re going to vet him,” Breitbart said back in February “We are going to vet him from his college days to show you why racial division and class warfare are central to what hope and change was sold in 2008.”

Although investigators would go on to call Breitbart’s March 1 death the result of heart failure, even some of his personal friends put forth the notion that it was an inside job. “He told me RECENTLY he had big dirt on Obama… MANY believe it's murder!” radio host and pal Mancow Muller tweeted after his death, adding in a similar micro message that he had his doubts about the initial reports of natural causes.

Speaking to reporters at Los Angeles’s KABC News, investigators with the LA Police Department say that doctors at the hospital that Cormier died at have raised suspicions over the coroner’s death.

This does seem rather odd.

Agreed. Boy, was I surprised to hear about it, and I only found out from listening to Breitbart’s CPAC speech. He TOTALLY extols Ayers, for his culinary abilities, and then trashes him. My cranial gears are turning with notions of “delayed-action arsenic”, if such a thing is possible.

The EPA has long had a very strict standard for arsenic in ...

Liberals. Conservatives? That's a different EPA standard.

As far as arsenic, a semi-metal, is concerned, caution is in order, as it can do some weird and often bad things to us.

One of the more recent discoveries is that it can dull our immune response to novel pathogens, giving them more opportunity to establish themselves. And then, when the immune system finally does react, it tends to overreact, which can be just as harmful to us as the pathogen.

Some bright boy came up with a fairly simple system by which people in rural India, whose groundwater is heavily contaminated with arsenic, can clean it before drinking.

It just takes two buckets, a smaller one and a larger one, with some holes in them. In the smaller one is a cheap iron powder, because iron binds with arsenic to form large molecules. The outer bucket has clean sand in it, that traps these large molecules. The water that comes out has lost almost all its arsenic.

Oh please people......why would you question the fact that Vince Foster killed himself, then rolled himself in new carpet, drove in a white van to the park and dumped the body? That’s perfectly normal or at least plausible.

A comment on the RT site refers to a book entitled “Admit The Horse”. Has anyone read it or know about it?

Does anyone recall the FR post with the statement of an eyewitness who said Breitbart's face "turned bright red" immediately before his collapse?

Coronary failure causes blue-to-gray pallor. Cyanide causes a bright red flush...

No doubt; a few posts included this info. Know that I posted such; on more than several occasions with links to witness who offered info.

It would be less 'odd' perhaps; if this were publicly acknowledged/addressed; as would the 'final' autopsy results; which we/Media waited for. . .but when final disposition is made; we are told only; what had been offered prior. Not a 'specific' diagnosis. We already knew the 'what'; we were waiting for the 'why/how' this happened.

Anyway; many questions; few answers; and family has been ultra quiet about all this.

With death following on the 'heels' of Breitbart;s death report; one can reasonably wonder; just how many fatal coincidences - and questions left unanswered - can one 'story' have; without giving rise to 'wonder' and/or at least some doubt. The missing pieces; that could resolve some of this; may be no more, than just that.

That said; when 'bad' people; have such 'good luck'; it makes one at least think; it may just be; 'too good to be true'. And easy to think that in Obama's case; it just, may not be true.

Even in a casual photo of 'evening fun and friends'; Ayers is compelled to send a finger message. One might reasonably wonder; just 'what'- or 'which' victory he is referencing.

All too sad; seeing Breitbart here; only to be dead within a few days. When looking at this crew; there certainly can be no doubt; that 'evil' has staying power.

That may not be the ‘V’ for victory sign, well, perhaps in a way it is... he could be saying that, of the 5 of them standing there, only 2 will be left after he has “end[ed] capitalism”, and 25 mil are taken care of that cannot conform to the new order.

Why is the “v” have the palm facing the bod? Usually, the palm is outward.

Just horsing around before I go sleepy-time.

Well; no question these people take their ideology seriously; and eliminating 25mil or so, non-believers, would be a fantasy come true. We know they have had the conversation.

Seeing Ayers finger messaging, here, however; does seems to resonate with something he just said recently; and it may be, his excitement; and-or, Ego; is too great to contain. Or could be with Andrew's presence; he just had to 'put it out there' - just not hand raised where this photo group could ALL see - most importantly, Andrew perhaps. A kind of 'gotcha' message; for all of us; per moment, 'in time'; maybe.

Whatever Ayers' intention; clearly in his mind/universe; the ideological game is over; and they are the winners. They are in the 'power seat'; and are the new architects of our world; who are now, crafting the new landscaping and America's country-to-world changes. . .and the ideological rules of 'new' citizenship.

Bill Ayers Says America Is Over, And We Should Rethink Our Citizenship

excerpt:

And yet, the United States remains the most powerful, weaponized military system the Earth has ever known. That’s a treacherous combination. A declining economic power, and an expanding military power. And we are going to have to find ways to re-imagine what it means to live in this coun–in this world. And here we are 4% of the world’s population, 4.5% of the world’s population, consuming vast amounts of natural resources, consuming vast amounts of finished goods, and no politician will say that the empire is declining and that the game is over .

[The great challenge for our generation [is] to find a way not just to live differently as individuals, but to find a way to think differently about what work means, to think differently about citizenship means, to think differently about what it means to be a ‘citizen of the world.’}

Surely, we can hear Obama's voice in here. This is the radical Left's shared vision of our world - so determinedly imposed. . .

All to say; there are monsters; in human mask; living amongst us; and they are; as of now; in control of America's present and future. And NO one, should imagine, that these people 'blink'; when it comes to making decisions about someone elses life.

(Should note here too; that Hillary is back home. She returned, without Jiang; having left him, under a GM bus in China.)

Can only say to those who think, we have the luxury of 'four more' years of Obama; think again. . .please.

I haven’t read every single comment on the threads about Breitbart’s and now the coroner’s deaths, but I’ve tried to keep up.

Reading cricket’s comments now, I’m wondering about two things, or three actually.

1. Did Ayers (curses upon him) dig for info when Breitbart visited him, to determine how much he may know, his next plan of action, and to find out exactly how much of an immediate danger Breitbart was to the “revolution”?

2. Could Ayers have administered a long acting poison of some sort?

3. Could Ayers have found that Breitbart commonly visited that pub/restaurant that he spent time at the night he died? And thus arrangements could have been made to have some people there engaging him and perhaps administering something?

re: Breitbart

Wasn’t there a mention some years ago about a chemical (or medication, same thing) that caused cardiac arrest then did not show up in later toxicology reports?

Some kind of CIA thing, if I remember correctly.

Anybody else remember that?

That has been discussed in great depth. Apparently the CIA has such a thing and maybe other assassination methods that don’t leave a trail.
