> RASPUTIN'S MURDER STORY IS ALIVE AND WELL
> 
>     The case of Rasputin's murder -- he was
> poisoned, beaten, shot and finally drowned in the
> river that runs beside the Kremlin -- has echoes
> today.
> 
>     Some of the curious Proles wonder why the
> death of Osama Bin Laden has been declared a
> national celebration by, among others, the
> President of the USA, who arranged  the murder.
> 
>     In case you have forgotten -- memories are short
> -- Mr. Bin Laden was ambushed in his home and shot
> by American assassins.
> 
>     It is possible that he was the man was
> responsible in some indirect way for the Twin
> Towers disaster or, perhaps, the murder of the
> 200-odd women and children in the Oklahoma bombing
> but such details are unimportant.  What matters is
> that he was persona non grata to the world's
> biggest power and had to be killed.
> 
>     Some Oldthink people have a moral objection
> to murdering political opponents but this has
> never interfered in American policy.  The American
> rulers tried for decades to murder Fidel Castro,
> who was boss of a little island off Florida, but
> they didn't succeed and the guy is still alive.
> His survival is a rare exception. Usually the
> Rulers in major powers get their own way.
> 
>     There is nothing unusual about the Bin Laden
> murder and we should accept it as normal, another
> demonstration that big powers have their own rules
> of behavior.
> 
>     However most big nations do not shout about
> these regrettable necessities.  They do them with
> as little fuss as possible.
> 
>     As the British foreign minister indicated
> recently on television, Britain might have done
> the same murder but, but,. but, but but but
> Britain would not have boasted about it after the
> mission was accomplished.  Although he did not use
> such language in the interview, what he said was
> that his country does not have the  American
> compulsion to flagwaving and bullshit.
> 
>     What can this have to do with Grigorovich
> Rasputin, the Russian mystic monk who screwed many
> of the aristocratic women in Moscow, including
> perhaps the Czar's wife?
> 
>     It has this to do with it:
> 
>     In the First World War the Allies feared that
> Rasputin the Mad Monk was working for the
> Germans at the very highest level of the old
> Russian state.
> 
>     He had to be removed.
> 
>     He was.
> 
>     A half a dozen conflicting stories of his
> murder have been circulated, some of the most
> contradictory ones by the man who confessed to the
> killing. The most recent report may be the most
> revealing.  Rasputin's brains were blown out by  a
> bullet which could have come only from a British
> Webley revolver which in 1916 Moscow was a
> possession of only one person in Moscow, an
> identifiable British resident spy who is now
> reported to have been "present" at the murder.
> 
>     The great thing about this story is that to
> this day, no official of Great Britain has ever
> claimed credit for getting rid of the Mad Monk.
> No flags, no banners, no drums, no bugles.  Just a
> well bred silence.
> 
>     Many Oldthinkers prefer the British style.
