Are there any people who mysteriously got sick and or died after questioning the government?

Question

What about the Kennedy assasination?

Answer 1

William Colby, former CIA director, died mysteriously. I don't know what he might have questioned about the gov't, but he drowned mysteriously for a man who was an excellent swimmer.

Answer 2

Probably, but most are called crackpots and nutjobs if they question it.

Don't you just love blind obedience... we're all like trained dogs.

Answer 3

William Cooper was a former Naval Intelligence Officer and radio host. He predicted the 9/11 attack and blame on Bin Laden and revealed a lot of information (much still unknown by the public) about the Oklahoma City bombing.

He was gunned down by police outside of his home shortly after 9/11 (at the time he was exposing government cooperation in the attack). Afterwards, while select media questioned what really took place (some of the "police" who attempted to "apprehend him" were in plain clothes and they left his still breathing body lay on his porch for several hours without medical attention claiming there was a bomb or boobytraps), most of the media called reported him as a dangerous member of a militia.

Cooper, oddly, was one of the people who's FBI file was illegally taken during the Filegate scandal under the Clinton administration and Clinton himself called him "the most dangerous man in America".

That's not exactly getting sick and dying but I think it fits into your questioning.

I don't know if any of them ever questioned government but we had a string of 14 world-class microbiologists who died mysteriously (in different states) within a short period of time after 9/11.

It's late so I can't think of any exact names but certainly there are whistle blowers and people with "information" about events who were killed or silenced.

The Kennedy assassination will be debated forever because of the oddities involved in the case and what took place (politically) after he died. Prior to his death, Kennedy had issued NSAM 263 which would have pulled 1,000 troops out of Vietnam by the end of that year (keep in mind we had very few troops there at that time). The very day of Kennedy's funeral, Johnson did NSAM 267 which trumped Kennedy's withdrawal order and 8 months or so later we were knee deep in Vietnam with 200,000 dead or wounded and tons of money made by defense contractors by the time it was done.

Answer 4

As many of you have heard, Kent Snyder, Chairman of the Ron Paul 2008 Presidential Campaign, passed away on June 26, 2008. Kent was the man who convinced Ron Paul to run for President, and he drove the campaign from start to finish.

Kent Died at age 49 of pneumonia that is suspicious and may have been caused by an air born carcinogen of unknown origin. A Patriot who questioned his government.

Answer 5

If you are talking about the U.S. Government I would have to say not anytime in this day and age.
