How The Press Lied About The Murder of Ilya Zhitomirskiy
Who Killed Ilya Zhitomirskiy
Ilya Zhitomirskiy, Diaspora Founder, Murdered(?)
From: George W. Hunt, January 25, 2012, Longmont Colorado
Who caused the death of Ilya Zhitomirskiy, the founder of the “Diaspora” social site? The silence of the San Francisco Coroner’s Office suggests to me that foul play may have been the cause of his sudden death at 22 years of age. The facts of his alleged “suicide” are being suppressed for some reason. It has been 48 days since his death. The San Francisco Coroner’s Office announced on November 12, 2011, that the autopsy results would be ready in about 21 days (“three weeks”). I called the San Francisco Coroner on January 22, 2012 for the autopsy results and the examiner’s assistant replied that no report has yet been released. Today is the 48th day since his death and I feel that something may be very wrong within the Coroner’s jurisdiction. I feel that someone is retarding the autopsy report as a regular autopsy would never take so long to complete.
I phoned the San Francisco Coroner’s office on January 12, 2012, the 45th day after Ilya’s death. The examiner’s assistant confirmed that the medical report had not yet been announced. My question is: Are Ilya’s autopsy results being delayed while the public forgets this very sad event? Another question: Could Diaspora’s competitors affecting the autopsy results and the delays? Bribes and threats can change autopsy results if the price is high eniough and the threat is frightening enough, so my prayer is that the Coroner and staff involved in Ilya’s autopsy not submit to coercion and threats if such are being applied.
At the time of Ilya’s death he was not depressed according to friends who knew him well—(though their remarks were somehow not mentioned much in the media). The papers and the Internet quickly called Ilya’s death an alleged suicide. Perhaps the journalists should have called his death an alleged murder. Ilya was taking on some big social media sites such as Google, Facebook and others. His invention offered valid personal privacy options that competing social sites recognized as a very large threat to their commercial power and greed..
Ilya had some minor cash flow problems which were aggravated by PayPal’s illegal delaying the funds pouring into Dispora—those “Go for it Ilya!” contributions for his social site project. Diaspora and Ilya were prepared to outclass the major social sites such as Google and Facebook . Somebody in the social site business may have been jealous and fearful that Ilya was on the road to success. May Ilya rest in peace.

Suicides That May Not Be Suicides
Have you ever wondered why important people, seemingly in good spirits, commit suicide while their close friends often swear the victim has shown no previous indications to be led to such a monstrous act. I wondered a lot when James Amschel Rothschild “killed himself” in his hotel room near the Champs Elysee in Paris in June 1996. He was the apparent heir to head the Rothschild Dynasty until he hung himself one night and left no note. He had not exhibited depression or other signs of distress according to close sources. The Inspector General of Paris examined the site of the crime, pulled out the bathroom towel rack from which Baron RothschIld had supposedly hung himself, and announced “The towel rack could not have supported his body. He was murdered.”. Rupert Murdock’s news bureau hushed the story about Mr. Rothschild’s murder. If the story did leak out, which of course it did here and there, the media response was “Mr. Rothschild suffered a heart attack”.
I also wonder why the youngest son of the former Shah of Iran, Alireza Pahlevi (44), “killed himself” in his Boston apartment in January 2011. It is said that he had hopes of returning to Iran to help establish democracy according to his close friends and associates. His death received only mild mention in the U.S. media and, if it did mention the tragedy, the stories explained that he had “great anger and sorrow about his father’s demise in 1979. Occasional hearsay says that the betrayers of his father were the CIA and Henry Kissinger.
I was stunned to hear that Ilya Zhitomirskiy (22), founder of Diaspora, a Facebook alternative private social site, had committed suicide. Why did Ilya kill himself last month (November 2011) when he was becoming such a success in establishing his social site? The investment money was flowing in (though PayPal was not passing the donations on to him for some reason) and he was apparently healthy in mind, body and spirit. I am awaiting the autopsy results to learn of the actual cause of death. Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO, announced after Ilya’s death that he had been one of the 6,500 donors to Ilya’s project, Facebook quickly cleansed itself.
