Are BP and the Obama administration involved in a massive cover up that resulted in the assassination of Bush energy advisor Matthew Simmons?

Nice bit of fiction. It must be a precursor to a Tom Clancy book. Matt Simmons was Dr Ryan in disguise
There's nowt as strange as fiction. Doesn't one of Tom Clancy's pre-911 books end with some Islamic fundamentalists hijacking a 747 and flying it into the White House?

Aurora, no offense but get a grip!

There is no evidence that Simmons was murdered and he certainly looked a like a clear case of high blood pressure with those ruddy cheeks.

If you seriously think that anybody is targeting us, get real, 99% of the population couldn't care less about peak oil activists and the TPTB know that.

Beria, you don't know any more than Aurora does, so don't be so sure.

Simmons may or may not have been murdered, but his assertions that BP and the US Government were involved in a colossal cover-up were, by any standards, inflammatory. If they happened also to be true, the "need" to shut him up would be pretty compelling.

No one is saying that they know Simmons was murdered, but these things do happen. My own view is that it's a 50/50 likelihood. I'm prepared to be convinced either way if evidence emerges. In the meantime, I find it intriguing but not, in the greater scheme, a subject of great importance.

Erm "offence" actually :)

Meanwhile, anyone remember that string of strange demises that befell various employees of Marconi back in the early 90s?
