(nr.16) Trotsky missing in the Soviet Encyclopedic Dictionary (1986 edition) - that is Lev Davidovich Trotsky (born Leyba Bronshtein). There are entries for Trotskism and another Trotsky - an architect. Also missing Vladimir Zhabotinsky, with another Zhabotinsky found there - a heavy athlete.
Some reports of unexpected deaths and fatal violence. A local paper "Daily Echo" in Southampton reported, that a world-renowned Hampshire (Lymington) sailor Chris Law aged 55 had been found dead beside a German lake Constance. And French Expatica News reports today that an Italian newsman Sergio Vantaggiato died after being assaulted in Paris metro.

PS. Yesterday I 'published' my entries without problems. On 2 previous occasions My post(s) were found on either www or http versions of my URL, for a couple of hours first time and several minutes on a second occasion. They then corrected that discrepancy, which I think, was a revealing accident.
Furthemore, there are versions of HTTPS, www2 and so on. Worth checking url variants for different sites.

(nr.15) From the Ru-net:

(nr.14) Some history today:

(nr.13) Looking at the maps (see link) I noticed ODESSA in Texas. L.D. Trotsky fled to Mexico (Texas?) and I often wondered why. The history of the place on the net is very patchy.

Beginning DAILY POSTS

(nr.12) Beginning DAILY or, to be more precise, FIVE times weekly entries to this diary - short as they may be.

Expatica Forum is still alive, somewhat quiet on the Spanish, Belgian, French and German forums and sort of vandalised by (netbot) spam on the Dutch one.

Recent events:

- Madeline's mother was interviewed this week on the "Woman's Hour" Channel 4 radio. She was very calm. The only strange wording I found in her answer, where she said, that she regrets not being with Madeline at the moment or minute that she was snatched.
The news about a Belgian (?) woman (a child therapist) who saw (may be ) Madeline with 2 'parents' at a cafeteria was somewhat dumped. The couple in a black Volvo should have been traced anyway.

- A 15 (?) year-old boy Jessie James was shot and killed a few months ago in UK. Very patchy news in connection with new witness and arrests made. His mother made a statement about her son's refusal to join any of the teenage gangs in the area. She only recently discovered that her boy was continually harrassed and intimidated over the issue. An expert from London confirmed, that there is an organised structure and pressures about gang cultures, and they'd certainly not tolerate 'a loose cannon'. There was a case of 14/15 y. o. boy and girl who were 'ordered' to commit a burglary and were beaten up/raped for refusal to do so.

(nr.11) The registration of the PEDOPHILE (!) party in Holland last year, which I assert should not be dismissed as 'Dutch' event, was discussed in a topic by 'avsie' in domestic part of the Dutch Forum Expatica. The thread or topic from what I remember has been heavily 'pruned', and the LAST THREE PAGES (19,20 and 21) are "empty". The thread is 1-18 pages long:

Could it be another 'scum' with (il)legal visitors or accomodation?
The news from Zwolle in Holland about human trafficking made me wonder about an e-mail I received (subject: RENT) where one James Wilson (?) is looking for "share room/apartment" for his daughter Susan. Reminds one of letters from exotic places about money. I replied asking him where he saw an ad for rent, because I did not advertize. So far there is a 'delivery delay notification'. His e-mail is jameswilxz@yahoo.co.uk

The Zwolle news:

(nr.10) NB! Watch for "empty tails" i.e. deceptive 'no posts exist' on the last page or pages. If encountered, just go to the previous page(s) untill you see, that posts DO EXIST.

Well.... the dot after WWW did not activate link in my previous post.

The Litvinenko affair leaves many people sceptical.
Kathaksung in his post 497. wrote that secret services' favourite trick is to make a secret deal under the table, then cover it up by a 'dispute in appearance'.
