Wow! Another really interesting video. An amazing amount of information. It must take you ages to do! I actually thought you couldn’t make it any better until I saw the Breaking Bad clip! Such a great reference.
That is amazing. How some of these stories and movies we used to watch? We thought there will be uncredible that it will never happen and now all of a sudden, these things that we used to see and laugh about are happening like the Jay's bond movies. Eyes Deal movies.They had all kinds of gadgets.I'm sixty four years That's amazing how these things are actually true
I have a scanning electron micrograph left behind by folks from Scotland yard that was exhibited at a meeting of the Electron Microscopy Society of America, showing the little beads with holes drilled in them that contained the ricin.
Socrates and hemlock and Cleopatra and poisonous snakes, those are the only major cases in history that spring to my mind, to answer your question, but there must be many others. O yes, let's not forget Hitler and the other high-ranking nazis that took glass pellets of hydrogen cyanide to commit suicide, after killing their children first, in some cases (see the film on the subject of the last days of Hitler in his bunker, Downfall - Der Untergang).
since the Bulgarian government brought Bulgaria into NATO, all these crimes are forgotten or absolved like the crimes of most German criminals (incidentally Nazis) who found a new life under the American "umbrella" 😂!
You mean the guy who defected from Russia, well after the collapse of the USSR, and who was assassinated with polonium. Historical illiteracy for the sake of a boogeyman is wild, Russia sucks without being the ominous USSR
What he did would be called "hate speech", or maybe "organized harassment campaign" nowadays, and he would have his radio show shut down by authorities and fined and/or imprisoned for "offensive communications".
He was literally assassinated by the people that wanted to imprison him - because he spoke against the bulgarian communist dictatorship, but you're saying _"today it would be worse, because he might even have his radio show taken off air"_ ? that wouldn't make human sense if it were even slightly true.
you do know that the government wasnt communist though - if its a dictatorship and you have ruling class it isnt communism its totalitarianism or fascism. just cause something calls itself socialist or communist or a democracy doesnt mean it is. its important not to spread misinformation that is very american view. every attempt at a democratically elected socialist or communist government in south america/the middle east was over thrown or embargoed by the usa/cia. lets be real about history here
Not sure where you're getting the idea that they weren't communist. A very quick google search tells you that the "Bulgarian Communist Party (Bulgarian: Българска комунистическа партия (БΚП), Romanised: Bŭlgarska komunisticheska partiya; BKP) was the founding and ruling party of the People's Republic of Bulgaria from 1946 until 1989", and that "The BCP was committed to Marxism-Leninism".
Stop. All communists are facists. The idea of forced cooperation, or that you are somehow EVER entitled to someone else's work, is antithetical to the human condition of free will. Only the most wicked people pushed communism in the past, and for a twisted reason, they wanted control over the populace. In our modern era, nothing has changed. Civil communists don't want equality, what they really desire is to take things from others to make up for their mostly inadequate and unaccomplished life. They fail miserably under capitalism because it's a merit system. These people are usually either truly skillless or (observable) genetic failures 😂 lashing out at the world succeeding without them. Nature would have taken care of useless peoples such as this in the past... I owe you nothing.

Stories like this just remind me the world is sometimes as wild as the movies makes it out to be!

I'm so old....I remember this incident.

I didn’t now the pellet was that tiny.
Alexander Litvinenko’s assassination
can you go over the chemistry of the CIA's Looney tunes cigar-based assination attempt on Castro?
I been saying I don't trust umbrellas. This is pure high-speed evidence I was right.
What a weird September 11th they had that year.

Ricin ain't nice in.
What about the CIA's heart attack gun that was actually revelled.

This reminds me of another defector from the USSR who fled to England before being murdered by plutonium poisoning. I can't remember his name though.
Alexander Litvinenko? He was poisoned with polonium-210, not plutonium
You mean the guy who defected from Russia, well after the collapse of the USSR, and who was assassinated with polonium.

They use a label, any label, to cover what they do.
@@keyrock177 North korea calls themselves a democracy that doesnt make it true. Same goes for soviet block "communists"
@keyrock177The Democratic Republic of Korea famously is neither democratic nor a republic
