Bulger was set up. He was supposed to be transferred to a prison medical facility. I was aware of his deteriorating medical condition through regular correspondence with him, face to face communication, and observation. He was 89. He had a hip injury and could not walk, confined to a wheelchair for 4 years. He had 6 heart attacks while in prison.
In the midst of his transfer, "authorities" determined that his medical condition had suddenly improved. (He was still wheelchair bound. He still had a bad heart. He was still 89!)
Instead of going to the medical facility, he was sent to a prison in West Virginia, notorious for violent murders. Bulger, a high-profile prisoner, was thrown into the general population with no protection. He was dead within 12 hours. Brutally beaten.
Bulger offered to plead guilty and accept an expedited death sentence -- the Boston US Attorney's Office denied the request, insisting on a lengthy, expensive, and orchestrated trial. Why?
Bulger's story, as told by Bulger, contradicts much of what the public has been fed. It contradicts and implicates individuals and government agencies -- most especially the CIA.
Bulger was telling his story from prison.
He needed to be silenced.
The question is: Who gave the order to have him transferred to his death in West Virginia?
Dead men don't talk...or do they?
