UnitedHealth is the most significant component of the UnitedHealth Group Inc., the largest health insurance company in the US.
Today, UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson was assassinated by a gunman. Could today’s assassination of a high-level US business executive, especially a health insurer CEO, be the beginning of a trend? Could you pick a better first target to initiate turmoil in the US?
The Danger. The healthcare industry is the most sensitive industry in the minds of Americans. Kill all the senior executives of all the insurers, and you destroy much of the functioning of that entire industry. By a few dozen assassinations, sophisticated perpetrators and their advanced backers can destroy parts of it.
The Likelihood of Using a Better Tool than a Handgun. I have often written about the possible assassination of many top US executives as a means of creating turmoil in our country. A gunman carried out today’s assassination. There is no way to know yet why. (1) Was he hired by a corporate or personal enemy? (2) Was he hired by a terrorist group? (3) Was he hired by a hostile nation or proxy?
The thesis of my articles is that the “weapon of choice” of sophisticated perpetrators and advanced sponsors of highly calculated future assassinations will be “bioweapons of some sort or another."
The Answer to the First “Why.” The shooter here exposed himself to several significant dangers. These included (1) the danger of, in turn, being shot or maimed, (2) the risk of being caught and tried for murder, and (3) the likelihood of being hit and killed by a car during his hazardous escape.
The Answer to the Second “Why.” The use of one tool, form, means, forum, or another to transmit a delayed-symptomatic deadly infectious disease would have significantly reduced the risks to sophisticated assassins and their advanced sponsors.
My Reasoning for Preparing Executives for Risks of a Bioweapon. In my articles, I list many reasons why a future more sophisticated assassin and advanced sponsor will want to use a bioweapon to complete the killing.
Here are just a few:
(1) Small Size, Readily Hidden, and Delayed Discharge. “Bio bombs” can be tiny and placed in an office, boardroom, bathroom, or household days before they need to be discharged,
(2) Delayed Identification of Discharge. A more approachable person, such as a fellow leader, staff member, or family member, can be infected with a highly deadly and contagious but delayed-symptomatic pathogen that can be transmitted to the CEO or COO without intent or even knowledge of the risk,
(3) All But Non-Traceable to Source. Even after the onset of symptoms, it is often difficult to quickly identify and treat the disease, and its source is all but non-traceable quickly or in weeks. So, the disease significantly spreads both before and after symptoms begin to show. The immediate retaliation fear is extremely low.
