  News: Jurisdictional fight clouds inmate death inquiry - OCRegister.com
An Orange County sheriff's probe into the beating death of a Mission Viejo man by inmates at the Theo Lacy Facility has sparked concerns from the Office of the District Attorney that the sheriff's agency is too close to the case to properly investigate.
Chamberlain had pleaded not guilty and was awaiting trial when he was stomped to death Thursday by inmates who attacked him in a jail shower, dragged him to an area near his bunk and continued the beating.
He said that while the death "technically" occurred while Chamberlain was in custody, sheriff's officials define "in-custody" deaths as those involving deputies.

 Poirot: Death in the Clouds - DVD
A poison dart gun, aristocratic flmail, and the unexpected appearance (and disappearance) of the murder victim's illegitimate daughter add an exotic flavor to a story that is perfectly complemented by David Suchet as the world-famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot.
Death in the Clouds also features some of the most lavish scenery of any of the Poirot mysteries: aerial shots of English fields and the white cliffs of Dover, as well as elegant art deco interiors and the increasingly implausible hats worn by the female characters.
Comment: Death in the Clouds is not the most engaging or entertaining of the Acorn series of feature-length Poirot's, though it offers international locations and therefore, international intrigues.

 Death Cloud Construction
There is no indication here that this Death Cloud was constructed quickly, since the Shadows apparently did most of the work before they departed.
Of course, the technomages had time to learn about the cloud and organize an expedition to Xha'Dam before it launched (despite it being mostly finished by the Shadows before they left the galaxy), so even the completion timeframe is probably more than a matter of hours.
There is no way to tell if the Death Cloud in this holographic image is one of the two "skeletons" that Vir saw earlier, since he really has no way of knowing how many are under construction at the base or of telling one Death Cloud from another.

Far from driving the "final nail" into the peace process coffin, his death pries the coffin open and allows the corpse for the first time to come to life.

CHEMTRAILS: CLOUDS OF DEATH, on the other hand, which was made a couple of years before that one, remains current excepting that by the time CHEMTRAILS: CLOUDS OF DEATH was released the chemtrail program had just been eviscerated and neutralized by many thousands of orgonite cloudbusters.
CHEMTRAILS: CLOUDS OF DEATH is the film that DB secretly produced in Hollywood, then began freely distributing over three years ago when the grassroots, unorganized orgonite network was first getting established in the world.
The next phase in the development of the orgonite movement, which started right before the film was released, was disabling the millions of new 'death transmitters' that sprang up literally all around the globe in the fall of 2001, right after the feds blew up the WTC and perhaps sealed their own doom.
