42. also the executive who jumped from the highly secured, locked highrise top last week in London

This is the 4th "suicide" in a row by executives under investigation, no suicide notes mentioned. And a reporter investigating oil shenanigans disappeared within the last couple weeks as well.

These are contracted hits.

Even JMG, who tends to avoid conspiracy theories and sticks to adapting to peak oil, picked up on this in his blog.
