Scaramella Arrested in Italy

Is this a Merry Christmas for Mario Scaramella?

Report: Italy Makes Arrest in Spy Case and it's Mario Scaramella who met Litvinenko Nov 1--which apparently continues to be considered the day of Litvinenko's poisoning.

Scaramella is said to have connections to the deputy chief of Russia's FSB, Viktor Komogorov--who is alleged by Chechen sources to have been conducting an investigation of Litvinenko. And Scaramella has some knowledge of radioative materials, sources say. Uh huh.

And as far as Litvinenko's deathbed accusation against Putin as his assassin, it's been suggested that this heinous deed may have been "outsourced" by the Kremlin to foreign operatives (Scaramella?) to give Putin plausible deniability...which sounds plausible to me.

The US gov is historically fond of using the plausible deniability ploy, too. We may have invented the sorry phrase, ya think?

Scaramella and Livinenko are said to have dined together at the sushi bar (oh no--it was the sushi?)...and maybe I'm OD'ing on sugar plums here, but contrary to the above headline, the article says that Scaramella has been arrested for arms trafficking and slander. Is that how they got him into custody for more questioning on the dastardly poisoning? The charges don't seem to be connected...?...oh those mesmerizing sugar plums...I gotta quit.

Well it could be worse--they could be polonium-laced sugar plums, couldn't they?

Here's the sunrise natal chart for Alexander Litvinenko Dec 4, 1962 but with chart details here where additionally you'll find a few links to this poisoning case if you need to refresh yourself on the sad details as they've happened.

The chart link actually takes you to Lim's Limericks where a reach-around was performed on behalf of SO'W one day when Blogger wouldn't upload images for SO'W. (And it won't upload them today for my Art Gallery blogs either...for which I'm pouting.)

Thanks again, Lim!
