    Guy's if you don't want to watch the ads then trick the video into thinking you watched the whole video by first watching the last 10 or 5 seconds of the video, then simply play the video from the start and like magic no more ads because you tricked the video into thinking you already watched it once so it won't show anymore ads.
    You're welcome.

    The use of a slow acting poison is to make sure the target will contact the police, the point is to show the world what happens to traitors while maintaining plausible deniability.

They refused. after that they made a public statement that their bosses and putin were corrupted and basically gangsters and murderers. later he was arrested for 2 years, after he was released he managed to escape to london. our government killed him in revenge and so he cannot testify against russian president and his criminal friends-oligarchs

      That is a very good point. The doctors had to do everything they could against a clock that was surely ticking to a certain death. It gave everyone the opportunity to hear what happened and who was responsible.
      It is a miracle this man was able to stay alive for weeks after this kind of poisoning, let alone speak in detail and answer police questions. This also gave his family time to say goodbye.
      The doctors provided amazing care. It should be noted in medical journals what protocol was utilized.

      Yeah, her rationality is extraordinary. Normally the wife wants some unrealistic version of 'justice' which is really more 'revenge' most of the time. So I admire her sense of reality.

You can be a good or a disgusting person in either system. And yes - each system has it's own terrible blindnesses.

    I remember when this article was published in a Marathi local newspaper in 2006 or something. I don't remember clearly. And That article left me so touched after knowing what Mr. Alexander L. Had suffered. I was so moved that I had cut that newspaper cutting and kept it with me for years.. Just because I felt the amount of pain he must have gone through. I was sensitive to that. It's only today that randomly I've found what happened further with his investigation case. I'm glad His story was told and heard. I prayed in 2006 too that May his soul rest in peace and it's May 2020..i still Pray He rests In PEACE.
