LOOMING DISASTER

LOOMING DISASTER
is a secret KGB/FSB operative has been totally ignored by our
politicians. Not by the Kremlin, however, which savagely killed
Litvinenko with Polonium-210, a highly toxic isotope known to
be used by the former Soviet Union as neutron trigger for nuclear
weapons. In 2007, Great Britain called for the extradition to the
UK of Russian citizen Andrey Lugovoy (a former KGB officer) on
charges of having murdered Litvinenko. Russia declined to extradite
Lugovoy, who overnight became a member of the Duma, thus
receiving parliamentary immunity.
On July 22, 2014, the British Secretary of State for Home
Affairs, Rt. Hon Theresa May MP (who would later become Britain’s
prime minister, taking office July 11, 2016), announced in
a written statement that an inquiry would be held into the death
of Litvinenko. Sir Robert Owen, a retired High Court judge, was
charged with chairing the investigation. 4 In January 2016, he
presented the House of Commons with a 328-page report that
concluded Litvinenko had indeed been killed by the Russian FSB
and that the killing “was probably approved by [then FSB Director
Nikolai] Patrushev and President Putin.” The House of Commons
released the report January 21, 2016. 5 A Wall Street Journal editorial
published the same day suggested President Putin never be allowed
to set foot on British soil. 6
Unfortunately, America’s policy toward Russia is still built on
Hillary Clinton’s foundation of naïveté and wishful thinking. On
October 9, 2008, when the current U.S. secretary of state, John
Kerry, was the Democratic candidate for the White House, he stated
in a worldwide televised interview with PBS’s Jim Lehrer: “Well,
let me just say quickly that I’ve had an extraordinary experience of
watching up close and personal that transition in Russia, because I
was there right after the transformation. And I was probably one of
the first senators ... to go down into the KGB underneath Treblinka
Square and see reams of files with names in them. It sort of brought
home the transition to democracy that Russia was trying to make.” 7
