Argentine Prosecutor Found Dead Hours Before Testimony Against President Fernandez
The Argentine prosecutor who accused President Cristina Fernandez of orchestrating a cover-up in the investigation of Iran over the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center has, according to AP, been found dead in his apartment, authorities said on Monday. As The Times of Israel reports, Alberto Nisman, 51, was discovered, by his mother, in a pool of blood in the bathroom on Sunday night with a gunshot wound to the head, hours before he was set to testify before lawmakers on his accusations of the cover-up. Coincidence we are sure, but police are investigating and Argentinian media reported that they had initially ruled the death a likely suicide but we note that The Clarin daily reported just a few days earlier that Nisman had told the newspaper, "I could end up dead because of this," and in a separate TV interview, had also been considering increasing his security detail.
The Argentine prosecutor who accused President Cristina Fernandez of orchestrating a cover-up in the investigation of Iran over the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center has been found dead in his apartment, authorities said on Monday.
Alberto Nisman, who had been delving into the blast at the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people, said last Wednesday Fernandez had opened a secret back channel to a group of Iranians suspected of planting the bomb.
He had said the scheme intended to clear the suspects so Argentina could start swapping grains for much-needed oil from Iran, which denies any connection with the bombing.
"Alberto Nisman was found dead on Sunday night in his flat on the 13th floor of the tower Le Parc, in the Buenos Aires district of Puerto Madero," the Argentine Security Ministry said in a statement.
The ministry said Nisman's security guards had alerted his mother on Sunday afternoon that he was not answering his front door or phone, and the Sunday papers were still on his doorstep.
Nisman's mother found the door to his apartment locked from the inside and got a locksmith to open it. She found her son's body on the floor of the bathroom, and called the police.
"Next to Nisman's body ... a 22-calibre handgun was found, together with a bullet casing," the ministry statement said.
Nisman, who local media said was 51, had been due to take part in a closed-door hearing in parliament on Monday to explain his accusations against Fernandez.
As The Times of Israel explains, Nisman had filed a 300-page complaint naming Fernández, Timerman and others of seeking to “erase” Iran’s role in the bombing at the AMIA community center offices in which 85 people were killed. He had said he wanted to question the president and other officials whom he claimed were involved in the cover-up.
Nisman claimed that the president had decided to “not incriminate” former senior Iranian officials for their roles in planning the bombing, and instead has sought a rapprochement with Tehran, “establishing trade relations to mitigate Argentina’s severe energy crisis,” the Buenos Aires Herald reported.
When her agreement with Iran was challenged in the Argentinean courts, “and here is the criminal (aspect), the president ordered to divert the investigation, abandoning years of a legitimate demand of justice, and sought to free the Iranians imputed (in the case) from all suspicions, contradicting their proven ties with the attack.
“The president and her foreign minister took the criminal decision to fabricate Iran’s innocence to sate Argentina’s commercial, political and geopolitical interests,” the newspaper quoted Nisman as alleging.
Last May, an Argentine court declared unconstitutional an agreement between the Argentinian government and Iran to jointly probe the 1994 bombing of the Buenos Aires Jewish center. The agreement had been approved in 2013 by Argentina’s congress, at the request of the executive branch. Nisman consistently argued that the agreement constituted “undue interference of the executive branch in the exclusive sphere of the judiciary.”
...
Prosecutor Nisman traced the authorization for the July 18, 1994, terrorist attack to a meeting of Iran’s National Security Council held a year before, and compiled sufficiently compelling evidence of Iran’s role in the crime as to have several leading Iranian figures, including Vahidi and former presidential candidate Mohsen Rezai, placed on an Interpol “red notice” list. The final decision to attack the AMIA center was allegedly made by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and then-president Rafsanjani.
The specific motivation for the 1994 AMIA bombing, according to Nisman, was to punish Argentina for suspending its nuclear cooperation with Iran.

Finally, as AP adds, "He was alone in the apartment," prosecutor Viviana Fein told reporters. "There are no witnesses."
The Clarin daily reported just a few days earlier that Nisman had told the newspaper, "I could end up dead because of this." Nisman, in a separate TV interview, had also been considering increasing his security detail.

Don't cry for me..................
So what never take a shower with a loaded gun.
They have no nail guns or tall buildings in Argentina?
I'm surprised it wasn't 3 shots to the head and then still called a suicide.
He's got nothing on the nail-gun guy (8 shots to head suicide) or Gary Webb (2 shots to back of head suicide)
Just bullet to the back of the head with a .22 rifle. Typical suicide
We suicided some folks...
That's it; I'm going long nailguns...
One shot can kill you but..
“shot about 20 times in Rougemont.
As Mr. Vaughan pulled into his driveway one evening, he said, a man in a van pulled in behind him and hopped out with a rifle in his hand. Mr. Vaughan recognized the man as a former neighbor. As Mr. Vaughan dashed for the side of his house, he was struck in the side of his right leg and fell to the ground.
Then, from about five feet away, the man fired shot after shot as Mr. Vaughan crept on his side, trying in vain to crawl under his minivan, to somehow find a reprieve from the indescribable sting he felt with each bullet that tore into his body.
“You’re thinking clearer than you ever thought in your life,” Mr. Vaughan said during a recent interview. “I don’t know if it’s the adrenaline or just the will to live. You want to live more than anything in the world, and you know you have no control. I asked the Lord not to hit me in my heart and head.”
When the gunman stopped to reload, Mr. Vaughan said, he pulled himself to his feet and onto the hood of his minivan. But the man knocked him on his back with a shot to the abdomen, again from about five feet away, and continued shooting.
The final shot, Mr. Vaughan said, entered his groin area and exited through his rectum, leaving him lying in a pool of blood and feces. He never lost consciousness.”

Whoever pulled the trigger down there had to place it just right.
The Tribes Favored get around... (Mossad)
that'll teach him to investigate a mossad false flag op
always the victim
always
85 men, women and children died in that blast. Are you saying it didn't happen or are you saying the Jews killed themselves to gain sympathy? (which obviously didn't work in your case)
Sloppy for the Mossad not to have been protecting him even though he was in Argentina. Its not like its stopped them before for operating with impunity there.
https://archive.org/details/TheRingwormChildren-KhazarEugenicsForBiblica...
A terrifying documentary about the abduction and wholesale murder of Shephardic Israelite children in Israel, using massive exposure to X-rays. This was done under the pretense of "treating" the children, ripped from their parents upon entering Israel, for ringworm. (Chillingly reminiscent of Europeans being rounded up and "de-loused" in "showers" in the Nazi death camps.) Other Shephardic children were used for "medical experiments", while still others were stolen to be raised by "racially superior" Ashkenazi-Khazar parents.
Was it a shitgum?
Or Salvadore Allende, former dictator of Chile, who died of a self inflicted air strike.
Or heart attack guns??

Here's another good one.
Libyan Opec official 'missing'
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-30888191
Although left handed, he shot himself 4 times in the right side of his head with a single shot muzzle loading shit-gum, then threw himself off the roof.
His suicide note was typed in Amharic and signed with an X; authorities are beating his family and known associates to insure their impartial cooperation in the investigation.
isn't it funny how zionist tribe going mad and berserk ( as reproted by right wing nutjobs propaganda times of israel ) but thy don't give a shit when tribe kills , torture people for standing against israel ? Highly pro-semitic .
You didnt expect the Times of israel to report on the Zionists plans for Patagonia did you?
Truth from Tribe is rarity . Again such a pro-semitic comment . gosh!
https://theuglytruth.wordpress.com/2013/07/01/jewish-ex-argentina-minist...
Thank goodness for the rule of law that the authorities worldwide have the "enhanced interrogation" euphemism available to them. They'll get to the bottom of this for sure now, God bless the U.S.A.!
ONLY A RETARDED PERSON WOULD KILL THEMSELF WITH A .22 CALIBER
Sounds like Fernandez - whatever her faults (and there are many) - is being set up by Ziocons. The rush to even greater global conflict grows.
The Israeli Hawks REALLY want a hot war with Iran and will frame anyone and do anything to push that agenda.

I am kind of confused... if the Jooose wanted a war with Iran, and were seeking it through this channel, wouldnt this guy be alive and testifying? Thus making Iran AND Argentina look like anti semites? Doesnt really fit your narrative. I think Cristina and her unics rolled up there and capped that fool.
Strange.
Lets face it, regardless, thats not good for his resume....

Khamenei doing his job punctually.
ekm, I need an update of your league match:
MIC vs Bankers , who is leading the series now ?
Most Importantly , when is the championship game ??? and please dont tell me this is an endless league. if it is, than I will not be renewing my season tickets next month
MIC definitely winning.

Banks have now started to swear at each other publicly.
GS calling for JPM breakup etc, etc, etc. They are about to choose sacrificial lambs among themselves.
Myself I won't reniew the season's tickets.
I've bought some of these

very spooky , I did too SPYX
thanks for the update
As I said before, you should change your avatar photo for a checkers board. You only make one move, Israel's move.
I'll explain to you in bulet points:
- US Dept State/CIA wants to take down the left in South America, a-la 1960's, do distance them from Russia.
- They failed in Brazil, even though they killed on of the candidates to try and propel Soros-darling Marina Silva to a candidacy. They didn't count on the fact many Brazilians would not vote for a mulattres for president. Even though their heritage is questionable, Brazilians are quite racist. Like another pseudo-religious exceptionalist tribe...wink, wink
- In Argentina, they put this guy against Kirchner, then top him. to make it look like she's anti-jewland.
And to your reply post.
MIC == Banks
....sigh....
2015 is an elimination round
Wife, daughter and writer of controversial FEMA camp movie ‘Gray State’ dead in ‘murder-suicide’
Gray state never came out as a move it was just a psy-op.
Wow.
So anyone that survives 2015 gets to play Double Jeopardy?
TPTB will not cease until they and their bloodline are ended.
Really? I thought they only used plots this tacky on cheap soap operas.
Oops
There we go...ZH posters never fail to come through.
"It was Mossad....no it was the CIA...no it was the FBI.....no, no, anyone but the most likely of suspects!..."
Are you suggesting he killed himself? Over what? If it was stress related to the testimony, surely the best way to alleviate that would be......not to testify. But I suppose suicide is equally effective.
Tell me, what in your 9 weeks of experience at ZH keeps you coming back? ;-)
The obvious suspect is Fernandez.
..which inveriarby means she wasn't behind it
this looks like another sloppy mossad job
je suis Nisman
Looks like another "suicide" due to stress related to testimony.
"Alfred Villalobos, fixture in CalPERS corruption scandal, apparently commits suicide"
http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/article6473781.html
@ Bangalore Torpedo than simply stop reading them , instead of bitching and posting about it like people are supposed to value your opinion only
DUCK off if you cant handle it
He is a shill because Bangalore always says " Listen . "
This is just the second account of "Bangalore Equity Trader," since his original account was banned.
So, it sounds likely to you that a man would work his whole career to a moment like this, the day before he was going to testify against the powers that be, and chooses THAT MOMENT to kill himself? All that work to gather evidence and create testimony, just to off himself?
Generally, people who are about to testify before the public, who know they are about to be the center of attention, hold much more narcissistic views of the world than the suicidal.
It was probably a hired Argentine pistolero.
https://theuglytruth.wordpress.com/2013/07/01/jewish-ex-argentina-minist...
The article refers to Alberto Nisman making accusations against Cristina Fernandez of being involved in a cover up, essentially one of helping to get Iran off the hook. That implies Nisman believed that Iran did do it, not Mossad or the jewish Argentinean ex Minister. That puts him on the jewish side of the argument.
So I guess that Nisman was probably assassinated by somebody on the Iran side, but probably not Iran itself. Most likely Cristina's friends to get her off the hook.
A perfect example of what happens when a person with scruples comes up against a person, or group of people, (i.e. those in power) to whom the rules of a civilized society mean absolutely nothing. They want you to fight them using "the rules". They know they can always beat a person like that. You'd like to think this sort of thing only happens in places like Argentina. But it's coming to a place near you and much sooner than you think.
"But it's coming to a place near you and much sooner than you think."
wrong Sir, it's all in place already, just more time to transfer all the wealth than unplug this bitch
Already happened plenty of times, here's one off the top o my head.

With the Dixie Mafia vying to move their favorite First Family back into 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. come January of 2017, let us pause to remember the Clinton Body Count.
TPTB & secrets
Clinton=Mena

Putin=1998 bombings
MPs/UK= "boys,"
China= offshore accounts\
fill in please----------------
Manning = imprisoned, Snowden = exiled, Segara = blackballed
Yeah, Id say its here already
There are no coincidences.
or he could have asked his kid to hand him the blow dryer and instead handed him the Ruger Mark II, I mean honest mistakes do happen and he did have quite the mop on top.
nothing to see here - suicide
Move along folks.
The media has more important things to cover. Miley Circus is twerking and Kim Lardassian is doing some shopping or something of similar importance to the world.
First thought that came to my mind was Mossad. Even if it looks like the Iranians had a solid motive, it was probably Mossad. That is f'n crazy that the first thought is the Mossad.
Chosenated
We have reached the point where all .govs worldwide are now murdering all leading anti-gov activists. In the next 24 months they will move to rounding up and imprisoning general anti-govs. Later they will open the concentration camps they have already built. They built them in the southern deserts under the guise of protecting the children. Then they screened them off and denied any news or video access, under the guise of protecting the children
real problem is to determine who is real opposition and who is prepaid guy
And Argentina is apparently Doug Casey's paradise, as he describes it (as he tries to sell tickets to his exclusive getaway) LOL
"yep, it was loaded"
I prosecuted some fol-
Just like Pantangeli's death in Godfather 2: They threatened his family
http://youtu.be/lXZhYJcXh2I
Ah see, there we go. What we refer to as the "DC Madam" ie, just kill them. We know people will do it. It's really hard when you have family because then your actions start to effect those around you.
A note stating "Luca Brazzi sleeps with fishes" along with an apparent uneaten fish wrapped in newspaper was found at the scene. Authorities are treating this as an apparent suicide.
I guess they couldn't find a nail gun.
At the risk of being rote..."we suicided some people"
This is the legacy we in the States are leaving our own children.
"...Alberto Nisman, 51, was discovered, by his mother, in a pool of blood in the bathroom on Sunday night with a gunshot wound to the head"
Only one gunshot wound to the head? Can't be suicide, that takes at least two.

Nothing said about the horse head found in his bed.
The reasons behind the AMIA bombing have been discussed for years and the evidence against Iran is incredibly flimsy. For a long time, it was convient for all to put this on Iran.
This article from 2013 is a good place to start
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article35792.htm
plus these two
http://www.salon.com/2012/02/10/israel_mek_and_state_sponsor_of_terror_g...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Mujahedin_of_Iran
Typical Mossad false flag op is what the AMIA points to.... the only question is which Gladio B team to point the finger at, which leads one to question if this guy was part of a Gladio Team A or B? If non Islamic, then he must be 'old-school' team A, which has been liquadated in most areas anyway... why not ask the Pope? Is he on the ole A Team?
Suicide. Either by his own hand directly, or indirectly by taking the case.
In other news ... the weekly PEGIDA protests in Dresden (Germany) were cancelled today.
PEGIDA is protesting the Islamification of Europe and draws 25,000 protesters every Monday.
One of the leaders of PEGIDA has allegedly received a death threat from muslim terrorists. Either cancel the protests or die.
The German authorities decide to cancel the protests due to this imminent threat to security.
The very nature of the protests was to tell muslim terrorists to fuck off. Muslim terrorists make one death threat and the protest stops?
I'm surprised they didn't get 50,000 people to protest instead.
Imagine how many would be found dead if a criminal case for torture was brought against Dick Cheney...
Did DHS buy enough bullets for that cover up?
The Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission (KLWCT), did just that. And since then malaysian jetliners have been mysteriously dropping from the sky.
That was some security team.
"...said Nisman's security guards had alerted his mother on Sunday afternoon that he was not answering his front door or phone..."
Probably a pay-by-the-hour security team, and they were pissed that they didn't get time and a half for Sundays. NOTE TO SELF: If I ever need a security team, make sure they get a BIG BONUS if I actually live....
One reason former CIA director William Colby was somewhat nonchalant about his own personal security was his repeatedly stated 'If he were targeted for assassination, no amount of security would suffice'.
His consequent murder apparently validated that belief.
Clearly another "out-of-control prosecutor." President Clinton had to put up with this kind of stuff with Ken Starr.
Maybe there is something to that old 13TH floor superstition?
"Nisman was found in his flat on the 13Th floor of Tower Le Park."
And the 13th bullet makes for an awkward suicide finding.
In Mark Wahlberg's Shooter there was a 'suicide machine'. It was a contraption that made it look like the victim had actually shot himself in the head. All the forensics were correct. Have they actually started making these? I didn't see the Kickstarter™ campaign.
I think they had it on 'Shark Tank' the other night
Don't these people watch the movies for God's sake!?
This is why you secret all that shit down in sealed envelopes or flashdrives, squirreled away, etc., and you make sure to publicize that you did this. That way it does the black op goons no good to wack you. It's your insurance.
Gentle readers, this is conspiracy theory 101 so please pass this vital information along to all your whistelblower friends and family.
Gwar5, that tactic did not work for Green Beret Colonel Cutolo as it sparked a mini wave of assassinations targeting primarily fellow Green Beret officers in the early '80's
A .22 handgun? The guy must have bled to death real slow... It might have been more believable if they used something more dangerous -- like a triple edge Gillette razor blade???
.22 is fine when you know what your doing.
Tap tap?
Whatever the truth of this matter is, it must be seen within two contexts simultaneously:
1. That it's part of the political intrigues going on everywhere both within nations and between nations.
2. That human beings are generally incapable of valuing human lives equally. As a result the banker that suicides or the actor that overdoses will always be more newsworthy that the thousands that die daily as a result of war and hunger.
As Stalin once said, "the death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic."
I'm surprised he didn't cut himself shaving, and accidentally bleed to death.
That is more plausible that this garbage.
Grain exports and the Byzantine history of the cartels warring with the government is long and twisted in Argentina:
When Perón became President for the first time in 1946, he moved to have the government buy the grain from the Argentine farmer and export it. The profits were used to finance the industrialization of Argentina. In 1948, he established the Institute for the Promotion of Trade (IAPI) to achieve this purpose. However, the grain cartel companies, weakened by Perón's reforms, wanted him out of power. In 1955, Perón was deposed and the IAPI system he had set up was disbanded. When Perón returned to power in 1973, he established a National Grain Board for the same purpose. Again, Perón was fiercely opposed by the grain cartel companies. He died in 1974, and was succeeded by his wife, Evita. In 1976, Evita Perón was overthrown. The National Grain Board was dismantled, and control of grain and meat exports was returned to the private grain companies.
http://www.larouchepub.com/other/1995/2249_cartel_companies.html
Proposed legislation has been in the works for a while, but is now seen as urgent, given producers' refusal to release for export one half of the 2013-2014 soy crop, in order to force a devaluation, depriving the country of $10 billion in foreign exchange. According to MDZ Oct. 4, [2014] the government suspects that the big cartels—Cargill, ADM, Bunge, and Dreyfus, among others—are behind the producers' sabotage.
One bill already submitted to the Chamber of Deputies' Agricultural Committee, and expected to go to the floor for debate soon, would create the Argentine Institute for Grains Promotion (IAPG), to control all aspects of domestic and foreign trade of grains and related products and inputs, to "guarantee domestic supplies" and establish long-term policies for the sector, to prevent producers from being able to withhold exports. The bill's author, deputy Adriana Puiggros, told Noticias Argentinas that even though there have been tougher controls imposed in recent years, the state entity she is proposing would curb the power of the cartels, which now fix prices and control the entry of foreign exchange into the country.

Eva Perón died in 1952. Perón's wife in 1974 when he died was Isabela. She became president and was ousted. Geez, didn't anyone watch that Madonna movie?
You are correct sir! Nice fact check.
Larouche must not be a Madonna fan...lol
The article must have meant the third wife Isabel from Peron's third term (?)
Peron's crossing of the cartels though is well established
In his first two years in office, Perón nationalized the Central Bank and paid off its billion-dollar debt to the Bank of England; nationalized the railways (mostly owned by British and French companies), merchant marine, universities, public utilities, public transport (then, mostly tramways); and, probably most significantly, created a single purchaser for the nation's mostly export-oriented grains and oilseeds, the Institute for the Promotion of Trade (IAPI). The IAPI wrested control of Argentina's famed grain export sector from entrenched conglomerates such as Bunge y Born; but when commodity prices fell after 1948, it began shortchanging growers.[1] IAPI profits were used to fund welfare projects, while internal demand was encouraged by large wage increases given to workers;[7] average real wages rose by about 35% from 1945 to 1949,[14] while during that same period, labor's share of national income rose from 40% to 49%.[15] Access to health care was also made a universal right by the Workers' Bill of Rights enacted on February 24, 1947 (subsequently incorporated into the 1949 Constitution as Article 14-b),[16] while social security was extended to virtually all members of the Argentine working class.[17]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Per%C3%B3n
The cui bono for this incident is actually a win-win for the cartels: the grain keeps flowing to Iran and Fernandez has to deal with the political fall-out of ostensible suspicion (and not to mention a less than subtle warning...)
Somebody got Vince Fostered.
Kind of like the kweers in Obama's church that were executed mafia style right when Obowelmovement decided to run for Presidunce
btw, do you know why Obama takes 6 hours to play 18 holes of golf?
The last four holes take three hours!

No banker... no nailgun!
Maybe he fell off his exercise machine.
methinx "suicides" in 2015 will be trending most definately
Oh look.............another family just suicided in the US. Looks fishy to me means how he was working on a martial law movie:
http://www.prisonplanet.com/anti-establishment-movie-director-found-dead...
Alex Jones? Seriously dude?
last Wednesday Fernandez said she had decided not to prosecute Mosad for the Prosecutors death as there were several members in town at the time making identifying the trigger puller impossible.
I'd say it was an inside job, but after what the U.S. courtesy the "School of the Americas"/OAS has done over the decades in Latin America especially in Chie with Pinochet and Columbia I'm sure we have a fingerprint on that one as well!
He died of natural causes on account of his heart stopping.
I like he detail about the door being locked from the inside, that surely proves that it was suicide ...
Suppose they had no hot tubs...
If anyone even pretends this is suicide, brand a gigantic boldface L on their forehead. Sheesh.
Talk about sending a message to anyone else who might be honest!
He was hours away from his big day. Poor guy probably killed himself for stage fright.
Yup.
Qui bono? apart from sinking Fernandez, surely happy are Saudis (again) Mossad (again) and the War Party (again). just like with Charlie and MH17.
