I<\/span>n early January 1963, Hugh Gaitskell, a fairly conservative Labourite MP, considered a likely future PM, came down with severe chest pains and shortness of breath. A few days earlier, he had complained of a sharp pain in his back while walking in a crowd in London.<\/p>\n

Shortly thereafter, he died in a London Hospital. The diagnosis was a ruptured aorta and other symptoms of Lupus. There was major commentary that he was done in by the KGB, who were more or less running wild in London in those days.<\/p>\n

In 1971, Henry \u201cScoop\u201d Jackson, an extremely pro-defense Democrat, sometimes called \u201cThe Senator from Boeing\u201d because he was from Washington State, where Boeing was and is based, complained of a sharp pain in his back, and soon thereafter died of (supposedly) a ruptured aorta and other lupus-like symptoms. He was also extremely pro-West and anti-Communist, and there was speculation that he had been punctured by a KGB umbrella man who did not like his politics.<\/p>\n

Three days ago, in mid-July 2026, after one of many trips to Ukraine, which he supported strongly after its invasion by Russia, Senator Lindsey Graham, a STALWART OF THE GOP, complained of pains in the chest.<\/p>\n

He died on the same day of a ruptured aorta and other symptoms of lupus. His health, while not perfect, had been robust until the night before. According to Mr. Trump, he was in an ebullient mood because he thought he had rescued Ukraine from unlimited Russian torture. There has been considerable speculation that he was poisoned by Thallium while on his travels for peace in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Poisoning by Thallium has the same symptoms and is almost impossible to detect. It has long been a favorite tool of the KGB.<\/p>\n
