Journalist at BBC that broke the Saville sexual abuse story died 3 days ago in her 50s from a stroke (pizzagate)

submitted ago by Godwillwin

Just thought it would be worth looking into her death a little bit. She was only 52. Here's an excerpt from an article. It discusses her achievements including her breaking the saville story and the controversy of her investigation leading to her leaving BBC:

Ex-BBC News correspondent Liz MacKean has died after suffering a stroke.

MacKean, 52, worked for the corporation for more than 20 years but left in 2013 amid a row over the decision to shelve her investigation for Newsnight about disgraced DJ Jimmy Savile.

She began her career at BBC Hereford and Worcester, before presenting on Breakfast and reporting from Northern Ireland and Scotland.

MacKean went on to work on Channel 4's Dispatches programme.

BBC director of news James Harding paid tribute to MacKean, saying she had earned a reputation as a "remarkably tenacious and resourceful reporter".

"In Northern Ireland, she won the trust of all sides and produced some of the most insightful and hard-hitting reporting of the conflict," he said.

"It was as an investigative reporter that she really shone, shining a light on issues from the dumping of toxic waste off the African coast to Jimmy Savile, the story for which she is probably best known."

The mother-of-two studied at Manchester University and gained a post-graduate diploma in broadcast journalism before joining the BBC.

MacKean's story about the child abuse committed by Jimmy Savile was dropped by Newsnight in 2011. But the investigation with producer Meirion Jones was later recognised by the London Press Club with a scoop of the year award.

What's the English equivalent of Arkancide?

These people are all fucking psychotic and will kill anyone who gets the goods on them. Just yesterday I was reading up on how Dick Chenney may have orchestrated that "accidental" transfer of 6 nuke tipped cruise missiles from Minot AFB to Barksdale AFB in Louisiana.

A few non-psychotic Air Force brass got suspicious and started digging. Yada yada yada Air Force personnel at Minot AFB started having lethal work "accidents" like it was going out of style:

  1. All were directly involved as loaders or as pilots

  2. All died within 7 days of each other in 'accidents'

:-D

UPDATE: And the winner is:

Limeycide

Suggested by @Tanngrisnir

The "Lime" implies a drink and "cide" being killed. Poisoned by a drink is what the English would do. It's cleaner than something you'd see in Arkansas from a bunch of red neck Nazis masquerading as Democrats.

Obnoxious Aboriginal European Fun Fact: The expression "Limey" is in reference to a compulsory British Naval beverage called Grog which was water, rum and lime juice. The purpose was to get the common sailor to get a daily does of Vitamin C. It's hard to maintain a robust fighting force if your sailors don't have the teeth to eat what little they food they had as it is.

Jim Fetzer argues at length that the WTC buildings were turned into dust by mini nukes that Israel got from the U.S.

DarkMath ago

There was no radiation at ground zero.

party1981 ago

Yeah I don't necessarily agree with him

Votescam ago

And will also be back to read this article -- Thank you. Not sure how many Americans are even aware of this story.

remedy4reality ago

Good post @DarkMath... at least one Broken Arrow is floating around out there from the Minot incident, I'm certain of it. I suspect it is the nuke that North Korea will 'drop' on Guam. Guam is an ideal location for a trip wire isolated single nuke attack.

DarkMath ago

Maybe Guam but then the US Navy and Air Force would have to explain why the missiles they have for exactly the purpose of shooting down an ICBM didn't work.

My money is on these psychotic mother fuckers putting a nuke in a shipping container on a container ship. The reason is the USS Fitz and the USS John McCain have both been accidentally "rammed" by a container ship and a tanker. The first could have been a coinkydink the second in the same year is TPTB doing a little foreshadowing so the public buys the story when it actually happens.

The good guys are always in danger. I read recently that the death of one of my heroes, Paul Wellstone, is not believed to be an accident in his home state, Wisconsin.

DarkMath ago

Yep. Paul Wellstone was definitely offed. Anyone highly visible to the public is offed if they try to speak out. The most tragic was when the murdered Pat Tillman:

I'm going with Limeycide.

That story is YEARS old.

You're more than a little behind the curve, you HOMO FAGGIT!

DarkMath ago

Donkey give it up. You may not be Robert Robertson (but you might be).

But you are DEFINITELY the horse fucker.

What's your story? Just spill the beans already.

DaneKeyhote ago

Limeycide?

CIA has just been royally fucked by the NSA?

DarkMath ago

Maybe but Limeycide has one too many syllables. It needs to flow off the tongue smoother.

Maybe but Limeycide has one too many syllables.

Same number as Arkancide.

I kinda like Limeycide grin

"I kinda like Limeycide grin"

Limeycide sounds better this morning. I see your point. The "Lime" implies a drink and "cide" being killed. Poisoned by a drink is what the English would do. It's cleaner than something you'd see in Arkansas from a bunch of red neck Nazis masquerading as Democrats.

Bee tee dubs the expression "Limey" is in reference to a compulsory British Naval beverage called Grog which was water, rum and lime juice.

The purpose was to get the common sailor to get a daily does of Vitamin C. It's hard to maintain a robust fighting force if your sailors don't have the teeth to eat what little they had to eat as it is.

European History major etc...

Thank you for pointing out just "why" Europeans started looking for some place to go, other than Europe. Too much population, too little usable land to farm, no food, and most in Europe knew something had to give if they wanted to survive. So, when the SJWs start screaming about the white man taking over the New World, they need to realize it was going to happen, sooner or later. A starving mass from a large continent that could not sustain it, is going to go on a search, basically for food. And, if they think this whole land mass we are sitting on was going to remain unpopulated and unused, they are idiots. Plus the food was horrible and tasteless-thus, the search for spices and condiments began in the 1600's. I do wonder, though, what is taught in high schools and colleges about just what di happen to start the western migration. Are they teaching that everyone who got on a ship to the New World were filthy, horrible plunderers and wanted to destroy this "untouched" land mass? (I am referencing the Antifa manifesto that someone was able to get their hands on, where they talk about "White Privilege" and how they want to destroy all that is good and important about this country.) But, I digress-thank you for reminding me about all my history classes and the fascinating info about how we came to be the USA. (Hunger, Food, Spices, basically)

Anglicide?

Godwillwin ago

Wow. I completely missed this story. It's disgusting how they kill off so many people. I can't understand how they live with themselves. I wonder what Megan McCain knows. It's hard watching her on Fox and not wondering about whether or not she's an idiot or if she just pretends not to know, or if she knows but doesn't care. I always wonder what the family members know

janet58 ago

I think we all have a great capacity for denial.

EricKaliberhall ago

Megan McCain must know that her father is pure evil pedophile scum. I think she is one nasty fucker...

Cara_C ago

They can easily live with themselves because psychopaths don't feel guilt, empathy, love, or shame. They feel as bad about killing someone who is inconvenient to them as most people feel about swatting a mosquito.

Narcissism ago

They aren't Psychopaths though. Dick Cheney is a classic Malignant Narcissist upto and including the typical traits like abuse and heart disease.

crashing_this_thread ago

Narcissism is just one of many qualities of a psychopath.

Narcissism ago

Completely wrong - this falsehood about Psychopaths being Narcissistic came about because researchers like Hare mixed up people who were Narcissistic/ Sociopaths with Psychopathy and thought that Psychopaths falsely considered themselves superior because they are almost totally logical and have no respect for Human hierarchical systems. Psychopaths are only Narcissistic if its a means to an end, but its never an end in itself unlike Narc/Sociopaths.
