Ted Stevens killed in plane crash

I do not want to say that in every plane crash there is a conspiracy. Accidents do happen – but for this very reason they can be used as a very good way to ‘deal with people’. We only need to look at the recent Polish ‘crash’ to see what dramatic consequences it has produced (listen to the podcasts where we talk on Hilary Clinton setting up a new missile deal).

This week [August 10th 2010] the former Alaska Senator Ted Stevens was killed in a plane crash

Connecting with other topics of the day Ted Stevens was a big supporter of Big Oil – and let us remember the issues over Alaska’s oil supplies tied with its environment. But perhaps the topic that I connect with is one that have also posted on recently:-

“In 2006, Stevens authored the Senate version of the telecommunications legislation that would end net neutrality.” Perhaps then we should consider the people that Ted chose to go wishing with – as Dana Tindall (senior vice president for GCI, a major telecommunications company) was also killed in the plane crash – and fortunate to survive the crash was Sean O’Keefe who led NASA from December 2001 to February 2005…

His political life has been one of turmoil, including being found guilty of “knowingly and willfully” making false statements on his Senate personal financial disclosure forms. In other words ‘cooking the books’. This was later overturned by a federal judge and as the BBC would report “exonerated him”… I’ve looked into this a little and it seems that rather than say he was innocent the case on which his prosecution was based was classed as invalid due to “prosecutorial misconduct”. In other words – his name was cleared but the original accusations were still left…

I urge you to look into this mans life as whatever his legacy he certainly did have an eventful time. Sadly this was not his first plane crash. His plane also crashed in 1978 and although he survived his wife Ann was killed.
