Political Frailty

Pro-government analyst Nikolai Shchekin has died. He was 49 years old. The cause of death of the head of the Department of Sociology of Public Administration of the Institute of Sociology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus was a blood disease.

In recent years, he has written articles on the "East Slavic civilisation": "Basic features of the Belarusan model of development", "Orthodoxy as a constitutive basis of Belarus' strategic development", "Patriotism as a factor in providing security and sovereignty of the Republic of Belarus", "The forward strategy of Belarus' state administration system - ideology of image", "National identity - a fundamental factor of development of Belarusan statehood".

I knew that Philippa had been ill with cancer for a long time, but I didn't realise it was terminal. Sad news.

Marco Luzzago, Lieutenant of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta since November 2020 dead at 72:

Grand Commander Ruy Gonçalo do Valle Peixoto de Villas Boas, 82, now apparently the interim Lieutenant (again). Former lieutenant/grand commander Ludwig Hoffmann-Rumerstein is still alive at 85 and apparently I mentioned him the last time I reported the death of a Order of Malta "head of state"/"monarch"

Ludwig Hoffmann von Rumerstein dead at 85.

 

Peixoto may really go for a check up.

In addition Peixoto's two predecessors as the Grand Commander of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta are still alive:

fra Carlo d'Ippolito di Sant'Ippolito (Grand Commander 2011-2014) is now 89, older than all the Order of Malta guys he's outlived in recent years and looked ancient in 2014.

Gherardo Hercolani Fava Simonetti (Grand Commander 2009-2011) 81. Resigned due to health reasons...11 years ago.

Mentioning for pooling purposes...

India's Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs site has a page called "mps in hospital".

There's one name on the list currently, Ajay Tamta, former Textile Minister. It gives how long he's been treated (6 days), hospital name (AIIMS) and the name of the doctor in charge of his treatment (with a quick search he's from the AIIMS Department of Nephrology)

While he was on a wheelchair in 2016, now Wang Hanbin is able to stand and walk unaided and visits Tsinghua University with his 92-year old wife, formerly internationally wanted for human rights abuse in Tibet.

 

NONE out of 24 has died in a year and a half. Ages ranging from 84 to 105. If this is not sorcery I don't know what it is.

According to some rural chinese news outlet free speech supressing couple Wang Hanbin and Peng Peiyun made a rare appearance last month. Image was a bit stretched but they are now both wheelchairbound and Wang Hanbin looks pretty frail.

(Looks tired and in pain. Thought of saying he'll be dead within around 6-10 months, but it's been almost a full year since Khamtai Siphandone's "bullet train appearance" and he's still alive somehow)

José de la Herrán (1925) Minor name.

Checking the names. Someone from this June list on page 302 dies around every month, there's a load of potential 20/20 picks. Especially if you want a hit you can celebrate and enjoy instead of a loved musician/actor - there are multiple of those Videla/Pinochet guys aged 90+.

 

José de la Herrán died in September at 97.

 

Also from the Chile section, Pinochet's interior minister Enrique Montero Marx died at 94 in July.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

Josefina Padilla (1924) First woman VP candidate (1962).

Franklin Domínguez (1931) Politician/actor

 

Dominican Republic politician Josefina Padilla died last month at 98.

 

Mavis Gilmour of Jamaica is definitely still alive at 96 despite how Google seems to claim she died in 2017.

Another perennial coffintease makes a rare appearance, begging you to put him on your list (or lists, but atleast one!) Burma/Myanmar General/NLD co-founder/human rights activist/immortal U Thura Tin Oo 1927-2024 visited by junta members:

96 in March, the guy who talked with him says that he's still suffering from complications of the debilitating severe stroke he suffered in May 2017 but also that he's in great health. He was also on oxygen and hospitalised with covid for a week or two earlier this year.

He's unable to walk, can't properly use his left hand that looks oddly colored and red and despite the junta always saying they're having "discussions" with him, the conversations could be quite one-sided as he's said to be unable to talk. Almost all the images released show him looking at that piece of paper.

In addition to him and Than Shwe, Myanmar/Burma also has spy chief/ex-prime minister Khin Nyunt, 83, who has advanced dementia, Than Shwe's VP Maung Aye, 85 this week, ex-alcoholic who suffered from cancer in the 2000s, suffered a severe stroke in 2011 and was wheelchairbound and on his last legs in 2018, Zaw Myint Maung 1951-2024, 71, who suffers from leukemia and is currently in jail, Han Tha Myint, 74, stroke survivor with heart problems and advanced prostate cancer so ill that he was possibly the first old govt official freed by the junta last year, former Planning and Finance Minister Soe Win, 84, who has advanced colon cancer, was freed from prison due to failing health last year and has been treated for it for around 14 months, Thura Aung Ko, 74, who has an enlargened heart, diabetes, anemia and a plethora of other ailments, Tun Tun Hein, 73, who suffered multiple strokes in 2017-2018 and is now in jail and Win Htein, 81 this week, who's in prison currently, suffers from a long list of illnesses and needs an oxygen tank.

Zaw Myint Maung was reported to be hospitalised and critically ill a week ago. If he dies, I expect it to be reported in a lot of places as he's serving a 29-year sentence.

Khamenei, Mousavi, Sadr, Jalali, Peyman remain from the later members. Not sure if Ali-Asghar Masoudi is alive.

You’ve got to be a total saddo to buy this and to make your Christmas time about hating people.

 

Still, I suppose it’s infinitely better than LadBaby.
