I ctrl-Fed for "http" in this post and looked through the 61 links, following several of them that seemed like they may be relevant. I didn't find anything that appeared talked about what you've mentioned in your posts. Some talked about deaths, but I didn't find anything that even insinuated that they were carried about by or on behalf of the intelligence community. I also did a web search for "intelligence community housecleaning" and looked through the top 60 results. I didn't find much. Several references talked about people being fired, but I didn't find any about them being killed. I'd like to think I'm reasonably intelligent and web-literate, but after 15-20 minutes I didn't find what I was looking for. Maybe I'm just going about it the wrong way? Given how much you've posted on the topic, it seems like you want to convince people; if so, could you post some sources directly?

Thanks, that's actually valuable feedback. You missed, for instance, this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormwood_%28miniseries%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormwood_%28miniseries%29 It's (perhaps surprisingly) based on true events and might give some idea of the difficulties with even discussing the topic. There are also various links like this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_scientists_conspiracy_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_scientists_conspiracy_... If you dig there, you'll sooner or later hit upon the weird discrepancies from reality that Wikipedia article has. It mixes unrelated cases with genuinely disturbing ones like McCasland. Who wasn't demented at all. "Housecleaning" refers to the practice of killing prospective leaks. It doesn't make much sense to kill them once they've talked. Killing is a last resort, mundane leaks are retaliated against by revoking clearances and destroying careers that way. Note that the Espionage Act of 1917(!) allows to treat whistleblowers like foreign spies and deprives them of arguing, their leak would serve the common interest. Actual cases are usually ruled "suicides" or "accidents", but obviously aren't: Danny Casolaro (1991): "The Octopus" Investigation Gary Webb (2004): The "Dark Alliance" Expose Dr. David Kelly (2003): Iraq War WMD Leaker John P. Wheeler III (2010): Pentagon Insider ... there are many others. You only find what you look for.
