His pastor, Steve Wende of Houston's First United Methodist Church in Houston, made the first announcement that Ken Lay had died of a heart attack -- but Lay was located in Colorado where he was said to have died. Why was the news broke by "a pastor" friend back in Houston and not a professional ER-unit in Colorado-?



Ken Lay was scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 23. This event would have made big headlines right around the time of the 2006 Election that might have been damaging to the GOP and to the White House. By faking his death, Ken Lay now escapes this convinction altogether and the GOP&Bush-den-of-theives now avoid the public embrassment of Lay, the good friend of Bush-Cheney, actually getting incarcerated right around Election day.



Lay, only 64 years old (just 4 years older than George W. Bush and the same age as Paul McCartney and Joe Lieberman), displayed no signs of ill health throughout the grueling four-month trial that started Jan. 30. He was consistently upbeat and smiling, holding hands with his wife, Linda, outside of court.



Wende even was forced to acknowlege to the Media, "I know he looked to be in good health".



And it was now reported today that: "The body of Enron Corp. founder Ken Lay will be cremated and his ashes buried in Aspen, Colorado"! How convenient. This means that there is no visible proof available that Ken Lay's body was, in fact, dead. You could perform a crematation of somthing else or simply fake the cremation in any number of ways -- and no one would ever know the difference!



No before you say - impossible. Consider the following:



Ken Lay was rich, very, very rich -- he had a pampered, luxurious, spoiled life and plenty of reason to live on -- if only he could escape his conviction somehow. It was clear that he could not do that legally, and it would be very hard for Bush to pardon him at this point politically. Therefore, he took his immense stash of money and put it in an offshore bank (note: there are no records at all that show that his personal assets were ever at any time ever seized by the U.S. Government - so his immense wealth was available to him).

Then he had two or three people help him out in promoting the "death" story -- while he simply relocated (escaped) to another Country where he could avoid extradition altogether.

Who were these two or three people?

1. Steve Wende, a "pastor-friend" who wasn't even in Colorado when the event supposedly happened.

2. Someone (a friend/CIA-associate/Bush-ally) at the Cremation house where they could then mollify the public that Ken Lay's body had been disposed of -- when to date, in fact, there is no visible or photographic or true medical evidence to support the idea that Ken Lay is really dead.

3. Colorado coroner Robert Kurtzman. This is the only man on record here that has made the declaration about Ken Lay, a man observed to be in great health, that "apparently, his heart simply gave out." How convenient. Just how feasible medically is it that a healthy & relatively young man's heart simply "gives out" all of sudden all the way to the point of final death? It was reported again by Robert Kurtzman that "an autopsy indicated Lay died of coronary artery disease" -- but all this information here is basically flowing from just one single guy .. one source here -- Robert Kurtzman. We are required to take this guy at his word -- but no visible evidence of a death is available .. is it?



Now when you take into consideration that Ken Lay was an huge, powerful Oil-Industry-Bush-Administration-Dick-Cheney-Energy-Scam-Artist-CIA-Affiliated-Market-Power-Broker and then you also then consider the fact that a man who cheats the system as much as he did would never, by his own nature, be cooperative with a lifetime incarceration sentence -- and finally the fact that his sentence on Oct. 23 would create some very bad headlines and bad reminders for a whole bunch of people on their way to the polls in another week -- it is really so improbable that Ken Lay would want to pull off a little bit more sophisticated version of what O.J. Simpson did (getting driven away by a buddy with a fake beard) -- and that he had the connections and the know-how to really pull-off fleeing the Country to a safe harbor where he could live out his life freely and avoid extradition-?

All it would take to fake a death in his position was a handful of cooperative people -- that, and the convenience of a "Cremation ceremony"!

Until I see photograhic evidence or true medical documentation of an actual dead body that is really Ken Lay himself, I am not so sure that Jeanne Garafalo is wrong here.

It is certaintly not consistent with Ken Lay's personality and track-record to not try to buck the system. It isn't that hard for a rich,well-connected guy to "fake" a death to a docile, White-House-friendly Media and have a "pastor-friend" and a cremated body and one insider (Kurtzman) that make it all seem superficially convincing.
