Ned Colt of (NBC) dropped dead of a stroke yesterday.. he was “supposedly” kidnapped during the Iraq war for several days, then freed? http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment...lt-dies-at-56/

Bob Simon of (CBS) died in a car crash yesterday.. he was “supposedly” kidnapped held captive for 40 days in an Iraq jail. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2...-cbs/23269429/

David Carr (NY Times) just died suddenly after interviewing Edward Snowden, and had just come out against Brian Williams from NBC while on CBS… calling Williams out for lying about being shot down in the Iraq war. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/...dies/23336497/

Bob Hager the NBC aviation expert now has a head on crash. hmm. http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/forme...n-crash/255845

And of course Brian Williams is off the air for lying about the Iraq war. http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/...st-202585.html

THREE journalists dead within 24 hours, here in the United States (not in a war zone).

Did they know something that ‘we’ do not know? Is there a current campaign to silence the truth?

Editorial Footnote:

by, J. Schuyler Montague

It should be noted that, the first three journalists mentioned in the above article are confirmed dead.

The ‘fourth’ listing above; ‘Bob Hager’ of NBC was in a terrible vehicle accident (as stated above) but survived. The author of the article did NOT state that; ‘..Bob Hager died..’

Although, the author of the ‘source article‘ at IWB neglected to mention ‘who’ the fourth journalist is that died.

We are currently researching to determine ‘if’ there was in fact a ‘..fourth journalist that died..’ and the author accidentally left it out (or) if the author accidentally counted ‘Bob Hager’ as the fourth.

We will update this article at the conclusion of our investigation.

Regardless, we still have 3 confirmed American journalists dead in the US, within the past 24 hours.

Disconcerting details emerge about driver in Bob Simon's fatal accident

New troubling details are emerging about the livery cab driver who survived the fatal crash of journalist Bob Simon in a car accident this week.

Police have confirmed that the Lincoln Town Car transporting the longtime “60 Minutes” correspondent to a medical talk about Ebola on Wednesday night sped up before rear-ending the Mercedes-Benz in front of it and crashing into metal barricades on Manhattan’s West Side Highway. http://news.yahoo.com/cbs-news-corre...025008055.html

Law enforcement officials have suggested that Simon’s driver, Abdul Reshad Fedahi, likely hit the gas pedal instead of the brake. But reports from the New York Post, the New York Daily News, and CBS New York question whether Fedahi should have been behind the wheel.

With less than a year as a livery driver under his belt, the 44-year-old Fedahi, an Afghan immigrant, still had a temporary Taxi and Limousine Commission license — which has since been temporarily suspended. But his rap sheet with the DMV is lengthy. Since November 2011, Fedahi’s driver’s license has reportedly been suspended nine times. According to DMV records, the suspensions resulted from his failure to respond to court summonses. Recent driving convictions include speeding in September and disobeying a traffic sign in January 2014.

Disconcerting driving record aside, a cousin revealed aspects of Fedahi’s past that raise questions about the driver’s mindset at the time of the accident. This wasn’t Fedahi’s first brush with death, according to Rauf Sharif, who told the New York Daily News that his cousin had survived a jump from the window of a Brooklyn building in 2004. http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/...e-1.2112327%20 The apparent suicide attempt followed Fedahi’s split from his wife.

“He was on a suicide mission,” Sharif told the Daily News. “He dropped himself from a building. I don’t know how many floors in Brooklyn. He went through hard days in his life.”

According to CBS New York, http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2015/02/...ent-bob-simon/ Fedahi had been living at a homeless shelter on Ward’s Island, off Manhattan. Three sources also confirmed to CBS New York that an injury had rendered his left arm useless many years ago.

Fedahi is reportedly in good condition at New York’s Bellevue Hospital Center, suffering arm and leg injuries in the crash. Sharif told the Daily News that, when he visited his cousin at Bellevue, Fedahi told him he’d had sharp chest pains and “blacked out” right before the crash. Police have dismissed suggestions that Fedahi suffered a heart attack, however, and are working on obtaining the Town Car’s “black box” to determine how fast the livery cab was actually going when it crashed.

Fedahi has not yet been charged with criminal wrongdoing. But, according to his cousin, the driver teared up when talking about Simon, who he said was a regular customer.

Body of missing US journalist found in river
6 hrs ago

The body of an American journalist who went missing more than a year ago has been found in New Jersey, officials said Thursday.

David Bird, a Wall Street Journal reporter, went missing on January 11, 2014 after leaving home in Long Hill Township, 30 miles (50 kilometers) west of New York. He was 55.

Local police chief Michael Mazzeo and Morris County prosecutor Fredric Knapp said that a body found Wednesday in the Passaic River had been identified as Bird's with the help of dental records.

"The medical examiner's investigation into the cause and manner of death is ongoing," the prosecutor's office said.

His remains were discovered after canoers came across a red jacket near a group of branches.

The father of two had a liver transplant in 2004 and worked for Dow Jones for more than 20 years. He was married and had two teenage children, and was described as a great outdoorsman.

According to a website dedicated to finding him, Bird was wearing a red rain jacket when he went missing. A $10,000 reward had been offered for information leading to his whereabouts.

Body Of Missing WSJ Reporter David Bird Found In New Jersey River
Reuters Posted: 03/19/2015 2:53 pm EDT Updated: 2 hours ago

NEW YORK, March 19 (Reuters) - A body found in a New Jersey river has been positively identified as David Bird, a Wall Street Journal reporter who disappeared more than a year ago, officials said on Thursday.

Dental records were used to identify Bird, 55, an energy markets reporter at the Journal, published by News Corp , who had been missing since taking a walk from his home by the Passaic River in Long Hill Township, New Jersey, on Jan. 11, 2014, the Morris County Prosecutor's Office in a statement.

Two men canoeing on the river on Wednesday found the red jacket Bird was wearing when he disappeared. The boaters immediately contacted police, who later found human remains and sought to identify them, the prosecutor said.

"At this time, the Medical Examiner's investigation into the cause and manner of death is ongoing," the prosecutor said.

Bird's family thanked law enforcement "for their tireless efforts to find David" in a statement released by family spokeswoman Carolyn Buscarino. The family asked for privacy and said funeral arrangements were pending.

The family had offered a $10,000 reward in the search for Bird, who had worked for Dow Jones for more than 20 years, and was a Boy Scout leader and marathon runner with two teenage children.

Bird had a liver transplant, police said, and was believed to be without the medicine he needed to take regularly.

On the day he vanished, Bird had taken down the family Christmas tree and went out for some fresh air during a break in the rain at about 4 p.m., his wife said on www.finddavidbird.info, a website set up to aid in the search. (Reporting by Barbara Goldberg; Editing by Bill Trott and Sandra Maler)
