I looked for a site that would allow a comment. This is the one I found. Thirteen years later, he dies. So sad to lose such a brilliant mind and a kind, ethical, human being. They are very, very rare in our current society ! We see only greedy, narcissistic, borderline psychopaths who want control over the masses. Humanity is vulnerable......and currently severely deceived. Truth always sets us free, in this dimension and in the others.

We hear he died unexpectedly , and I am guessing one thing ; such a brilliant mind that was totally ethical could not possibly be "allowed" to survive, in our corrupt society. I truly expect that he may have been "suicided". Who else feels that way ? I assume his passion was too strong to allow him to snuff himself......I stick to the "suicided" , but I hope I am wrong as maybe he was just fed up , but I expect , he loved his family and because of that, he would not have snuffed himself ; on the other hand, mental anguish could be difficult to tolerate. What a loss !!!! No one is talking how and why he died......Why not share with us ? I hope his family wants an investigation as often, it is too easy , not to do one , making the wrong assumptions. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt. His poor family is suffering. If he died due to clear, obvious suicide , I suppose, he could no longer watch the deceptions , we are all victims of. We respect him, either way.
