schestowitz> Todd was found hanging in his Singapore apartment.Feb 17 20:10
schestowitz> Feb 17 20:10
schestowitz> Winston Churchill once said of Russia, "It is an enigma wrapped in aFeb 17 20:10
schestowitz> riddle," and that's what this is. I found the details as interesting as anyFeb 17 20:10
schestowitz> crime novel I've ever read. If it was a murder and the motive was known,Feb 17 20:10
schestowitz> then you have a quintessential movie plot.Feb 17 20:10
schestowitz> Feb 17 20:10
schestowitz> One part of the known facts does not make sense to me. Why would the policeFeb 17 20:10
schestowitz> give details of the elaborate method Shane used to hang himself (drilling aFeb 17 20:10
schestowitz> hole in  the wall  etc.), if the wall had no evidence of that and why didn'tFeb 17 20:10
schestowitz> basic police work include a photos of the "suicide scene" in  the bathroom?Feb 17 20:10
schestowitz> Feb 17 20:10

schestowitz> If you come across any new developments in the case, please let me know.Feb 17 20:11
schestowitzRianne says she could not access this Financial Times story because it was behind a paywall. I'm glad you were not blocked from reading like she was.Feb 17 20:11
schestowitzI thought about exploring Singapore for reasons similar to Shane's. It's an adventure and it looks like fun. But they have a seemingly oppressive government there, I heard, so my activism there will be limited. There are other things that which repel me a bit.Feb 17 20:11
schestowitzI have been writing a lot recently about FBI, CIA, NSA, and other corrupt agencies that instigate violence, so I would not want to be in a place where people can be murdered and then the murder covered up by police. Singapore -- like Malaysia or China -- scares me a bit.Feb 17 20:11

qu1j0t3you don't hear about the rest :)Feb 17 20:12
qu1j0t3that's the problemFeb 17 20:12
schestowitzBBC et al. helped cover it up with plausaiile deniabilityFeb 17 20:12

schestowitzis g/f explained the last 24 hours of his lifeFeb 17 20:13
schestowitzhis dad too thinks they pushed him into it with psychological warfareFeb 17 20:13
schestowitzFT says Shane was depressed a bit and burned out a dacde earlierFeb 17 20:13
schestowitzbut that oughtn't explain why in a great job in .sg he would shock by ending his lifeFeb 17 20:14
schestowitzRussia seems to have assassinated quite a few journos anf bloggersFeb 17 20:15
schestowitzThat mafia-run country would be scary to be an activist inFeb 17 20:15
qu1j0t3  schestowitz | And I'm quite sure Aaron Swartz wasn't suicided        // right, but that distinction probably doesn't matter very much to his family and friendsFeb 17 20:17
qu1j0t3in the end he's deadFeb 17 20:17
schestowitzyes, and not without honourFeb 17 20:19

schestowitzhe had helped wikileaksFeb 17 20:19
schestowitzand not long before the secret agents (secretservices.gov iIRC) took over his caseFeb 17 20:19
schestowitzApplebaum can tell how he's harassed and is under surveillanceFeb 17 20:20
schestowitzThey look for dirt on himFeb 17 20:20
schestowitzgiven the chance, they would try to pull an Assange on himFeb 17 20:20
schestowitzBTW, Swartz was accused in the legal, official pages of being "alleged hacker"Feb 17 20:20
schestowitzas if "hacker" is a crimeFeb 17 20:21
schestowitzit's just someone who can perhaps write a script to mass-download something he's allowed to getFeb 17 20:21
