The Strange Demise Of Kim Jong Nam Half Brother of
Kim Jong Un
Leader of North Korea


(edited version)

Speculation

The toxicological report is not yet available but I would not at all be surprised if it should read:

'death was caused by sudden pulmonary embolism' or 'sudden pericardial
effusion caused by substance or substances as yet undetermined.'

I say the above because having had some knowledge, through research, about how such assassins operate, sadly, it is all too easy to 'silently' kill – and there are absolutely no safeguards any country can put in place to prevent such an assassination now nor in the immediate future.

(That is something the general media will not frighten you with!)

I could go even further and say how powerless Border Agencies (Immigration Officers at airports) are to prevent such happenings.

There are synthetic toxins which will not register on any current devices in use even at the most advanced airports in the world.

Indeed, if it were to be known, Immigration and Baggage Check Officers in the normal course of their duties, unless they are wearing full biohazard suits and protective gear, could very well be the (unintentional) first victims should they have the misfortune to 'stop' the 'wrong' suspect for a routine baggage check. [The check itself would prove negative but the officer involved is likely to succumb to a 'fatal' or 'near fatal' 'illness' (cause undetermined) depending on the efficiency of medical treatment, within a very short period of time, but long after the suspect has departed the airport.]

This was a very quick acting toxin.   I have my own ideas.

[Read my blog about viruses to get an appreciation about or around what might have been happening.  All of the above is pure speculation however.]



Malaysian Police Authorities

I do not want to prejudice any enquiries but the Malaysian Police are somewhat out of their depth here and should invite specialists from a 'neutral' country who are 'experts' in these areas – such as Great Britain, Bulgaria or indeed Russia. They might even consider the assistance of countries such as India or China who have the specialist knowledge and skills to assist here.

My concern is that perfectly innocent people who happened to be caught up in the locus will be convicted of what appears to have been a very sophisticated assassination – where nothing is at it appears to be.



Clandestine Operations

Are likely to also become a key feature of the Trump administration with little to no accountability either to Congress nor the American public.

Successes will be announced and claimed by Trump whereas Americans taken prisoner or killed will be forgotten. Welcome to Donald Trump's 'reality' world – where 'losers' (captured or wounded U.S. personnel) are forgotten or left behind to be tortured or rot to death in some far away land. (This contrasts with the ethics and principles of loyalty, service to country, justice and 'nobody left behind nor forgotten' which are (or had been) cornerstones of faith in America's democratic process and the aspirations both U.S. Citizens and new immigrants have had for a better, more just, fairer and secure life in America.)

The problem for Trump here is that if you live by the 'clandestine' sword of unaccountability you may very well perish by it.



Back to Malaysia

I await the toxicological report on Kim Jong Nam with interest – but I am concerned that Malaysia, out of national pride, might decide to 'go it alone' on this one – ignoring assistance from countries with hundreds of years of experience of such matters.

So how did I guess it was a synthetic toxin?
Well read the following:

I think the answer to your question is no. I doubt there is any substance that would kill so rapidly via a percutaneous (ie. absorbed through the skin) exposure.
Of course, there is no end of compounds that would kill us in several seconds if we were to be immersed in a pure vat of it or intravenously injected with high doses. But that cannot be considered a likely natural exposure. We should consider compounds as they might be encountered in reality. In the movie scene in question, the character wasn’t held down and IV injected. This leads me to some of the misunderstandings that have been presented here….''

There are no pathogens that kill any faster than at least a few days, more like a week. Toxins may kill faster but we are still talking about a few days, maybe 24 hours if it’s an extreme exposure. So the mystery agent in the movie cannot be a bio-agent.

Organophosphorus nerve agents differ in their volatility and, therefore, present different hazards. The low volatility agents, like VX, present a percutaneous hazard whereas the high volatility agents, like GB, present a vapour hazard.
In either case, nerve agents are not suitable for close-quarters assassination (as per the movie) due to the risk of the assassin exposing themselves to the agent. They are only suitable for large-scale stand-off deployment.''

Q:''So, only a few scientists are aware about their existence in some secret laboratories, right? And any information regarding such “killer” substances are secret, I assume.''

A:"Well, no. Two of the most deadly synthetic chemicals known are military agents VX and GB (sarin). Their chemical structures are well know, as are the means to produce them. A droplet of VX that can barely be seen, (on the order of a mg or less iirc) will kill on contact. You can probably google the chemical formula for it, I know I saw a magazine article that showed the structure and explained the "binary" system for making it about a decade ago. Both VX and GB are readily absorbed through the skin.

Then there are several chemicals of biological origin that are quite deadly. Botulin toxin and ricin (spelling?) come to mind. Botulin toxin is one of the deadliest substances known to man. Although most biologicals are proteins and not readily absorbed through the skin."

Q: "Mason: What eggzhactly does this shtuff do?

A:"Goodspeed: It's a cholinesterase inhibitor. Stops the brain from sending nerve messages down the spinal cord within thirty seconds. Any epidermal exposure or inhalation and you'll know. A twinge at the small of your back as the poison seizes your nervous system. Your muscles freeze, you can't breathe, and you spasm so hard you break your own back and spit your guts out. But this is after your skin melts off. (The Rock)"

A: "Here's another couple of options:
Curare dissolved in DMSO or Highly concentrated Nicotine dissolved in DMSO.

Dissolving something in DMSO is as good as injecting it straight into a persons veins when they touch it - it's absorbed into the skin, then into your bloodstream, carrying any chemicals with it - it's so mobile in the body that when you touch it, it leaves you with a garlicky after taste in your mouth (it get's excreted onto the tongue).

Both Curare and Nicotine will kill in minutes.
Curare leads to asphyxiation and legal death in about 9 minutes, with symptoms occuring instaneously.
Nicotine causes unconsciousness followed by death from as little as one minute to as many as 15 minutes, depending on constitution, and presumably tolerance."

''Dimethyl mercury also is readily absorbed through skin (also rubber, latex, PVC etc.), and if anyone touches something smeared with the stuff without immediately rinsing, then the outlook looks really bleak. Not a suitable movie poison though, but pretty horrific anyway. Unlike nerve gasses mentioned earlier, this one can take months before serious symptoms show up, and when it does, it's too late. But doesn't work for a action movie.

This happened, tragically, to a chemistry professor in the 90's. She spilled a few drops of the stuff from a pipette onto her latex gloved hand.
Five months after the exposure, the neurological symptoms (loss of balance, slurred speech etc.) became apparent and she was admitted to the hospital, and there it was discovered that she had serious mercury poisoning.
From there on it just escalated downhill, and within a few weeks she went into a coma for ca five months until she died. By the time it was discovered, the damage was irreversible.

Basically, dimethyl mercury is a very bioavailable form of mercury which will kill you if you even touch it with gloves, but slowly over the course of months with all the muscular/neurological agony and degradation characteristic of heavy metal poisoning.''

I'll pick VX over DM-Mercury any day.

“The Rock” is a mostly appalling depiction of nerve agent toxicology.


That bit is correct.


Wrong. Nerve agents do not kill in seconds. Given the available dissemination technology and limitations of the chemicals, a realistic very high-dose exposure might kill in several minutes at the very quickest. A more realistic time would be several hours. A medium dose exposure might cause fatality in a few days.


Not really. Skeletal muscle first displays fasciculation (twitches) due to hyperactivaton of acetylcholine receptors, then later flaccid paralysis due to hyperpolarisation of the receptors. Smooth muscle either adversely contracts or relaxes (causing internal organ malfunctions) depending on whether the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system is involved. CNS effects can cause seizures.


That’s correct. Lung function is paralyszed and the trachea fills due to hypersecretion.


Nonsense.

But this is after your skin melts off.

The worst bit of fantasy nonsense in the whole film! ''

A:"Well, no. Two of the most deadly synthetic chemicals known are military agents VX and GB (sarin). Their chemical structures are well know, as are the means to produce them. A droplet of VX that can barely be seen, (on the order of a mg or less iirc) will kill on contact. You can probably google the chemical formula for it, I know I saw a magazine article that showed the structure and explained the "binary" system for making it about a decade ago. Both VX and GB are readily absorbed through the skin.

Then there are several chemicals of biological origin that are quite deadly. Botulin toxin and ricin (spelling?) come to mind. Botulin toxin is one of the deadliest substances known to man. Although most biologicals are proteins and not readily absorbed through the skin."

A: "Here's another couple of options:
Curare dissolved in DMSO or Highly concentrated Nicotine dissolved in DMSO.

Dissolving something in DMSO is as good as injecting it straight into a persons veins when they touch it - it's absorbed into the skin, then into your bloodstream, carrying any chemicals with it - it's so mobile in the body that when you touch it, it leaves you with a garlicky after taste in your mouth (it get's excreted onto the tongue).

Both Curare and Nicotine will kill in minutes.
Curare leads to asphyxiation and legal death in about 9 minutes, with symptoms occuring instaneously.
Nicotine causes unconsciousness followed by death from as little as one minute to as many as 15 minutes, depending on constitution, and presumably tolerance."

''Dimethyl mercury also is readily absorbed through skin (also rubber, latex, PVC etc.), and if anyone touches something smeared with the stuff without immediately rinsing, then the outlook looks really bleak. Not a suitable movie poison though, but pretty horrific anyway. Unlike nerve gasses mentioned earlier, this one can take months before serious symptoms show up, and when it does, it's too late. But doesn't work for a action movie.

This happened, tragically, to a chemistry professor in the 90's. She spilled a few drops of the stuff from a pipette onto her latex gloved hand.
Five months after the exposure, the neurological symptoms (loss of balance, slurred speech etc.) became apparent and she was admitted to the hospital, and there it was discovered that she had serious mercury poisoning.
From there on it just escalated downhill, and within a few weeks she went into a coma for ca five months until she died. By the time it was discovered, the damage was irreversible.

Basically, dimethyl mercury is a very bioavailable form of mercury which will kill you if you even touch it with gloves, but slowly over the course of months with all the muscular/neurological agony and degradation characteristic of heavy metal poisoning.''

I'll pick VX over DM-Mercury any day.

“The Rock” is a mostly appalling depiction of nerve agent toxicology.

That bit is correct.

Wrong. Nerve agents do not kill in seconds. Given the available dissemination technology and limitations of the chemicals, a realistic very high-dose exposure might kill in several minutes at the very quickest. A more realistic time would be several hours. A medium dose exposure might cause fatality in a few days.

Not really. Skeletal muscle first displays fasciculation (twitches) due to hyperactivaton of acetylcholine receptors, then later flaccid paralysis due to hyperpolarisation of the receptors. Smooth muscle either adversely contracts or relaxes (causing internal organ malfunctions) depending on whether the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system is involved. CNS effects can cause seizures.

That’s correct. Lung function is paralyszed and the trachea fills due to hypersecretion.

Nonsense.

The worst bit of fantasy nonsense in the whole film! ''

The Strange Demise Of Kim Jong Nam Half Brother of
Kim Jong Un
Leader of North Korea


(edited version)

Speculation

The toxicological report is not yet available but I would not at all be surprised if it should read:

'death was caused by sudden pulmonary embolism' or 'sudden pericardial
effusion caused by substance or substances as yet undetermined.'

I say the above because having had some knowledge, through research, about how such assassins operate, sadly, it is all too easy to 'silently' kill – and there are absolutely no safeguards any country can put in place to prevent such an assassination now nor in the immediate future.

(That is something the general media will not frighten you with!)

I could go even further and say how powerless Border Agencies (Immigration Officers at airports) are to prevent such happenings.

There are synthetic toxins which will not register on any current devices in use even at the most advanced airports in the world.

Indeed, if it were to be known, Immigration and Baggage Check Officers in the normal course of their duties, unless they are wearing full biohazard suits and protective gear, could very well be the (unintentional) first victims should they have the misfortune to 'stop' the 'wrong' suspect for a routine baggage check. [The check itself would prove negative but the officer involved is likely to succumb to a 'fatal' or 'near fatal' 'illness' (cause undetermined) depending on the efficiency of medical treatment, within a very short period of time, but long after the suspect has departed the airport.]

This was a very quick acting toxin.   I have my own ideas.

[Read my blog about viruses to get an appreciation about or around what might have been happening.  All of the above is pure speculation however.]



Malaysian Police Authorities

I do not want to prejudice any enquiries but the Malaysian Police are somewhat out of their depth here and should invite specialists from a 'neutral' country who are 'experts' in these areas – such as Great Britain, Bulgaria or indeed Russia. They might even consider the assistance of countries such as India or China who have the specialist knowledge and skills to assist here.

My concern is that perfectly innocent people who happened to be caught up in the locus will be convicted of what appears to have been a very sophisticated assassination – where nothing is at it appears to be.



Clandestine Operations

Are likely to also become a key feature of the Trump administration with little to no accountability either to Congress nor the American public.

Successes will be announced and claimed by Trump whereas Americans taken prisoner or killed will be forgotten. Welcome to Donald Trump's 'reality' world – where 'losers' (captured or wounded U.S. personnel) are forgotten or left behind to be tortured or rot to death in some far away land. (This contrasts with the ethics and principles of loyalty, service to country, justice and 'nobody left behind nor forgotten' which are (or had been) cornerstones of faith in America's democratic process and the aspirations both U.S. Citizens and new immigrants have had for a better, more just, fairer and secure life in America.)

The problem for Trump here is that if you live by the 'clandestine' sword of unaccountability you may very well perish by it.



Back to Malaysia

I await the toxicological report on Kim Jong Nam with interest – but I am concerned that Malaysia, out of national pride, might decide to 'go it alone' on this one – ignoring assistance from countries with hundreds of years of experience of such matters.

So how did I guess it was a synthetic toxin?
Well read the following:


''Eagle9 said: ↑
the agent following The Jackal (Bruce Willis) touches manually the automobile covered with some mysterious substance (The Jackal sprayed this substance to the automobile’s surface) and almost immediately dies. I wonder, does such “killer” substance really exist? The substance that kills you at touch?
Click to expand...
I think the answer to your question is no. I doubt there is any substance that would kill so rapidly via a percutaneous (ie. absorbed through the skin) exposure.
Of course, there is no end of compounds that would kill us in several seconds if we were to be immersed in a pure vat of it or intravenously injected with high doses. But that cannot be considered a likely natural exposure. We should consider compounds as they might be encountered in reality. In the movie scene in question, the character wasn’t held down and IV injected. This leads me to some of the misunderstandings that have been presented here….''

There are no pathogens that kill any faster than at least a few days, more like a week. Toxins may kill faster but we are still talking about a few days, maybe 24 hours if it’s an extreme exposure. So the mystery agent in the movie cannot be a bio-agent.

kevinalm said: ↑

Click to expand...
Organophosphorus nerve agents differ in their volatility and, therefore, present different hazards. The low volatility agents, like VX, present a percutaneous hazard whereas the high volatility agents, like GB, present a vapour hazard.
In either case, nerve agents are not suitable for close-quarters assassination (as per the movie) due to the risk of the assassin exposing themselves to the agent. They are only suitable for large-scale stand-off deployment.''

Forget the mainstream media scamsters who just copy each other, read where the best info about synthetic toxins can be found.  The  below is just one interesting site.  When you read, you will appreciate why its contributors are anonymous:
