Have You Guys Seen The Photos Of This Ukranian Leader?
He was apparently poisoned right after the election. Look at these before and after photos:

1. He Looks Like Hell
Looks like he got hit with a bag full of nickels going 50 mph.

4. they had doctors checking him out
and the doctors asked other doctors about the possibility of it being related to poisons found in chemical weapons.

The ruling party says that the opposition leader (the poisoned guy) probably ate bad fish. Seriously.

3. Poisoned, no doubt
...by "my friend, Vladimir." Bush said he, "saw into his soul." It must have looked familiar.

5. Geeze, is that first one really the same guy?
I have seen only the after pictures. I thought the guy had the same type of rare birthmark my uncle has. This type of birth mark can lead to brain tumors. But if the first pic is him, it ain't no birthmark! Wonder what it is? Organ disease can sometimes cause that look. He does look a little jaundice in the first picture. Maybe kidney disease?

7. In early September this year
He was known for his good looks. The change was sudden. Happened in September. The doctors who treated him are pretty mystified by what happened to him.

He had a skin virus, major organ involvement and has been left with his face pockmarked and partially paralyzed on one side.

The "he ate some bad sushi" put out by his political opponents just doesn't hold up and stinks in and of itself. Why would his opponents have anything at all to say about it, other than "OMG he has our sympathy" (which would logically be the innocent bystanders' response) - if they have nothing to hide?

I hope lab geeks and researchers all over the world check into this. Minimally, if this is the result of eating bad sushi, the whole world needs to know. If it's the result of biochem poisoning, we need to know that too. Whatever caused this - I want to know what it was!

8. Sushi???
I know there are some dangers w/ it. But ususally people who have eaten bad sushi ether die, due to toxins, or are treated for the allergy and are fine. You know my uncle is a veitnam vet. This looks suspiciously like the rash he has on his back from exposure to agent orange. In fact after looking at the picture several times, it looks exactly like the rash! Eventually the skin starts being eaten away.

10. The C-span story
The victim was taken to Austria for treatment. He was also told had he come 24 hours later, he would have been paralyzed for life, probably died.

9. in all seriousness
my face and eyes get like that when I have an allergy flareup.

Needless to say, I hate being around people when that happens.
