Was Mike Dickin of TalkSport Assassinated ?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He was supposedly killed in a 6 car pile up (he wrote a motorcycle as far as I know so he was probably on that at the time) on 19 December 2006.
Firstly let me apologise if there has already been a thread about this.
Mike Dickin I used to dislike intensely cos of his extreme right wing views, he was well and truly a brainwashed member of the population. THEN he got wise to it all and started publically stating he believed Diana was murdered and it was a Cover-Up and also 911 was an inside job, also he spoke against the war etc - PREVIOUSLY he had said the opposite and ridiculed "Conspiracy Theories".
I began to really like Mike Dickin but A fortnight before he died I said to my mate that if he continues saying those things MI5 will assasinate him and the rest is history...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey steevo, great post! Sorry it's taken so long to reply, I've been meaning to for a long time but always got distracted 'till now.
Well, what can I say?
BTW, are there any news links where it says he was riding a motorcycle? I'd never heard of that before, not saying you're wrong or anything that's all, thanks. You're right, it says he died in a six-car pile up, but no mention of any motorcycle. I'm not sure but for some reason I seem to remember him talking about driving a Rover on his radio show and how he was enjoying the latest model he had recently bought at a showroom. Can anyone verify this please?
Man dies after six-car collision:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cornwall/6192307.stm (note the TEMPLE reference where it happened - what usually happens at temples? Sacrifices to the gods). This report followed soon after, Radio host Dickin dies in crash:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/6194773.stmHis death in December 2006 was what I would say, "more than suspicious".
For those who never heard of him, he was the last of the true great Talk Radio presenters in the UK before corporate interests got rid of apparently free-thinking genuine people with true integrity. All we have left now are corporate puppets, most of which are sickening to listen to. For me, Dickin was a bit like the Talk Radio equivalent of music radio's John Peel. Who also (coincidentally?) is sadly no longer with us. But John Peel is another topic altogether, I digress.
If I remember rightly, I think Mike was actually the first radio presenter in the UK to begin broadcasting the breaking news of Diana and Dodi's crash on his show in 1997. So, amongst other things, he probably had a sense of affinity and loyalty for Diana. So you are right, it's not really surprising how it ended for Mike. I believe (or at least, according to Chris Everard's documentary "Lady Die", which I highly recommend) the technique is known in the SAS as a "Boston brakes" assassination, and is a standard/preferred way of assassinating a mark where the client wants to make it look as if it was just a random car accident. Do a web search on Boston Brakes assassinations and you'll see what I mean. Princess Grace (Grace Kelly) is believed to have been assassinated by this very technique. Or of course, he could have simply been knocked over if he was riding a motorcycle as you suggested and the scene quickly sanitised by "Police". I know some people ride motorcycles in their 60's, but Mike was quite fat and not in the best of health - can you imagine an elderly gentleman looking like an out-of-breath Henry VIII riding a motorcycle down the A30? Not likely to me, I'm afraid.
And you're right steevo, Mike was definitely making waves at TalkSport. Did you hear him talking about how his antique shotguns were illegally stolen during a Police raid at his farm-house in Cornwall (a raid which was apparently illegal with no warrant whatsoever) and branded them as criminals? He regularly talked about the "incompetence" of the Police and the injustice of the British legal system, talking about how the Police only work for 'The Crown' and have no obligation to the public whatsoever. He was against the banning of firearms in the UK and often spoke of the "utter incompetence" of the government. Fatally, he later began to talk about Freemasonry and seemed to be trying to understand it. He began to talk about the "incompetence" of Sir Ian Blair and the injustice of the slaying of Jean Charles de Menezes. I didn't hear him saying he thought 7/7 was an inside job (or at least didn't want to admit it On-Air), but yes I heard him saying he had serious doubts about the official story of 9/11. The final straw, as you pointed out, was obviously when he started to have callers regularly phoning-in to his shows discussing the possibility of Diana being murdered - and AGREEING with them. His listener-ship and audience figures were beginning to rise steadily ? then exponentially - across the country; word was spreading fast and people were beginning to talk about Diana again. He had to be silenced. In his final days he even mentioned On-Air that he had some 'unique evidence' in his possession regarding the death of Diana and a "revelation that would shock the world" and incredibly - was apparently getting ready to release it the next few days! Surprise surprise... he died over the weekend in a six-car pile up.
It's very sad to think that in all likelihood, he probably survived the crash proper and was callously murdered in the helicopter en route to hospital. As far as I know, it's difficult to get hold of any real details of what actually happened that day as the news reports seem sketchy at best. I seem to remember people like James Whale saying on his show that the official verdict was a heart attack while driving at the wheel at a location called "TEMPLE" (Revenge by the Knights Templar he regularly attacked (UK Police and Freemasons) - Also sacrifices are made at temples.), but of course it's reported that heart attacks can be induced by assassins, or perhaps his heart attack was completely fictitious, we'll never know, besides it's irrelevant I know. Whatever the cause, the operation to silence him was a success. Or at least I suppose, good enough for readers of The Sun "newspaper" to be bothered about. Case closed.
I have a great deal of respect for Mike Dickin. I didn't know him personally, but from his radio shows I thought he was a fantastic and entertaining journalist. He seemed like a wonderful family man of great integrity and honour. He was always talking about "the death of real country pubs" and how he avoided the new ones with fruit-machines and music blaring (the art of killing conversation). He was always talking about how much Britain was being ?dumbed-down? and how ?spotty teenagers? were taking over the service industry. One could tell near the end that he began to understand that the "dumbing-down of Britain" he often referred to was actually intentional by design. His mood seemed to change.
He didn't seem to joke as much as he used to about "three basically's and you're out" and "my health is not in question".
Although there was to be no room for Mike Dickin in the coming ?New World Order? Gordon Brown loves to talk about, I don't believe he deserved to die, certainly not in the cowardly way he was slain. I'm sure whoever did it thought it was hilarious. All a big joke. They probably joked "your health IS in question now, isn't it?" as they killed him. Chances are, the assassins were on the very same team who did the Diana job. Not to mention it would've been all too easy to fly an SAS hit-team on a quick helo hop from Hereford as it was merely a few miles/minutes away from the crash scene. But that's all speculation, who knows.
Unsurprisingly, Mike's colleagues at TalkSport are now towing the line more than ever and keeping the wall of silence up. George Galloway for example. He clearly isn't an idiot, but he's hardly the "freedom fighter for justice" he pretends to be either. He knows exactly what would happen if he 'went down the road' Dickin did. Pun (not necessarily) intended. That goes for ALL presenters at TalkSport, including James Whale (now working at LBC radio).
As anyone should know, TalkSport and LBC are nothing more than government-sponsored propaganda engines and they don't even bother hiding it. For example, listen to the commercial breaks. Littered with grotesque "adverts" from government departments about how "we're watching you" or "we?re coming to get you" or how it's a great idea to "take the flu jab" (DVLA / BBC License Fee / Benefit Fraud / Eugenics sponsored adverts). All "the management" have to do at TalkSport or LBC is turn round and say, "was that Mike Dickin's voice I just heard?" or "is your health in question?" and the presenters keep their mouths obediently shut. It reminds me of that old Bill Hicks gag where the new president is taken into a smoky room with a bunch of suits... they begin to roll a film of Kennedy getting his head blown off from a completely different angle nobody has ever seen before... the projector is then switched off, the lights come back up and they say, "any questions"?
Of course, TalkSport and LBC are snugly in bed with Rupert Murdoch's Sky/Fox News media empire and really, that's all you need to know. For example, does anyone know anything about Nick Ferrari? Here's what his Wikipedia entry says:
Quote:
In 1989, Ferrari was instrumental in setting up the Sky News channel, as the second person to be hired by Rupert Murdoch. Initially he was editor and then he was promoted to Vice President of News and Programming, of Fox TV in New York.
Another Bill Hicks quote: "walk away, it's a pile of sh1t". There was no chance of someone with the impartiality and integrity of Mike Dickin ever continuing to work on national radio for much longer. You either shut-up and take your pay-check, or next thing you know you've had a "little accident", happen to "hit your head" or have an unexpected massive heart attack (not unlike the one John Smith had, enabling Tony Blair to conveniently slide into his vacant shoes as head of the Labour Party and consequently Prime Minister and the rest is history)...
Mike Dickin, I salute you sir. If your family and/or friends ever happen to read this, please accept my condolences. I wish you all my love and respect I can possibly give. My wish is that Mike?s memory and legacy lives on and that in the near future - as with the murders of Diana and Dodi - those responsible are brought to justice. Perhaps even before the 100 year ban on the 400 page MI6 Diana report is over? Perhaps, before they are allowed to kill again? Perhaps, one day, justice will be done for the Machiavellian murders of our bright brave souls who dared to stand up in the face of evil, who dared to speak their minds for the good of compassion and justice. R.I.P. Mike Dickin, William Wallace, Dr David Kelly, Bill Hicks, Lady Diana, Aaron Russo, JFK, Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi, Benazir Bhutto, Alexander Litvinenko, Edith Starr Miller (Lady Queenborough), you are all heroes of humanity. So say we all?

Firstly, you really didn't understand Mike Dicken if that's the only label you can pin on him. Secondly, if mere political orientation is enough to cause you to dislike somebody intensely, you need to reexamine your liberal/guardianista credentials. The fact that you warmed to him when his views started to align with your own, speaks volumes.

Thanks VERY much for that in depth reply kerravon33. I feel that you have summed it up perfectly. And thanks for the information, it's much appreciated.
When the "accident" happened I looked through alot of "news" websites and the info was very limited and alot of them had not even reported it AT ALL. Some of the websites that did report it, didnt actually mention that Mike Dickin was even involved in the accident.
About the motorcycle, well, that is something I never found out for sure either. I think that it was James Whale who mentioned his motorcycle when he discussed the very sad news of Mike's death (on the James Whale show). At this stage I cannot verify in any way whether he was in a car on on a bike. But I will look into it.

There seems to be no info out there on Mike Dickin's death.
Wikipedia says :-
Quote:
Mike Dickin was killed in a car crash while driving on the A30 near his home in Cornwall, on December 18, 2006, at the age of 63. Fellow talkSPORT presenter James Whale presented his tribute show. Mike left a wife (second marriage) and 5 children, including two from his first marriage.
Wikipedia isnt an oasis of truth so we cant really take too much from this.
I stumbled across a website which had a headline of "TalkSport presenter Mike Dickin, has died". That headline makes it sound like he died of an illness or something I think the report is from the "Talksport News Archive". Here is the link :-

i was allways a big fan of mikes although i didnt allways agree with him. he had strong oppions but at least they were his own. he was one of the first people to catorgoricaiy state that he had seen the beast of bodmin moor. he was a decent , miserable cornish bloke. i liked him and miss his no nonsense inter viewing style.
i believie he was a passenger in a car when he was killed on his way back to bodmin

I spoke with him on a show... not long before he died, regarding royalty...and whether is was as relevant today as it was in the past, he even admitted what we were talking about a few hundered years or so back, would have got us drawn a quartered!!

I seem to recall that he said something live on air the day before his accident. Which was later pointed at, as a possible motive for him being accidented.

Firstly let me apologise if there has already been a thread about this.
Mike Dickin I used to dislike intensely cos of his extreme right wing views, he was well and truly a brainwashed member of the population. THEN he got wise to it all and started publically stating he believed Diana was murdered and it was a Cover-Up and also 911 was an inside job, also he spoke against the war etc - PREVIOUSLY he had said the opposite and ridiculed "Conspiracy Theories".
I began to really like Mike Dickin but A fortnight before he died I said to my mate that if he continues saying those things MI5 will assasinate him and the rest is history...
Only just realised he is dead .Was wondering why i had not heard him .
Yes alot of the old team of talk sport are gone now james wale etc.
The good old days when people said what they wanted .Now we have idiots like galloway on there.
Peace

If you show me evidence of this, then I may change my views.
otherwise I'd be inclined to think of this conspiracy theory as nonsense. most Brits had never heard of Dickin; his show was not exactly wildly popular (yes I know talksport is a national station, but he was not a well known person). also, he was not taken seriously by many - his shows often had a humourous aspect to them, and I just don't see that he had either the influence, nor reach, to be worthy of assassination or anything like that. why waste your time (and risk public exposure getting caught) by killing someone who was not all that known, and barely scratched the public consiousness?

Does that imply if he held left wing views he wasn't brainwashed, and you'd like him?

I exposed Tery Blair, Tony Blair's cousin for the murder of Jill Dando on Ian Collins show around that time. Probably just before Dec 19th 2006.
Just goes to show how the Queen can still press ahead with the charade that Barry George did it and not mention evidence that would clear him.
But then the Bliars whould have their say about Diana if she took them on for their murderes.

otherwise I'd be inclined to think of this conspiracy theory as nonsense. most Brits had never heard of Dickin; his show was not exactly wildly popular (yes I know talksport is a national station, but he was not a well known person). also, he was not taken seriously by many - his shows often had a humourous aspect to them, and I just don't see that he had either the influence, nor reach, to be worthy of assassination or anything like that. why waste your time (and risk public exposure getting caught) by killing someone who was not all that known, and barely scratched the public consiousness?
Why is it for me to show you evidence of this? Maybe ask the OP. I merely mention that I heard something along those lines. If it so inclines you to investigate more and see if this rumour I have mentioned is real or not. Go for it! I'm not about researching everything for other people. (If I do that I may as well make all my posts on my own website) I was just sharing something I heard back arround the time of his death. It may of been to do with Dianna, I'm not sure as it was not my most pressing thing to remember. It wouldn't be that hard to track down the day before his death's show and see if there is any truth to it.
I think that he died before 2006 though.

I wasn't trying to demand you show me evidence, it just seems a bit much to make a claim of assassination based on no evidence at all. I see that a lot on these boards and out in the real world, people make big claims with no proof at all, and pretty soon other people believe these claims. I just think if someone is going to claim he was assasinated they should have a bit more than the vaguest hint of a possible conspiracy, based on something which cannot be verified.

kerravon33, I'm afraid to say you are living in cloud cuckoo land. I DID know Mike very well indeed and produced him when he was at LBC and later on at Talk Radio/Sport. In fact he lived with my family for a few months while he was working at another station.
We were all very upset to hear of his death but I have to take issue with you on this ridiculous assasination theory. I'm sorry to have to say it but his health WAS in question. I happen to know that not only had he suffered heart problems in the past he'd also had heart surgery so an attack at the wheel would have been more than likely.
You also seem to have no idea how radio works:
"For example, listen to the commercial breaks. Littered with grotesque "adverts" from government departments about how "we're watching you" or "we?re coming to get you" or how it's a great idea to "take the flu jab" (DVLA / BBC License Fee / Benefit Fraud / Eugenics sponsored adverts)."
The ads that you mention are paid for and produced by the Central Office of Information (COI) which were up until last year I think the largest advertiser on radio in the UK. They serve an important purpose as the recent cutback of these ads alongside a strong rise in new flu infection clearly demonstrates.
The only time in my experience the government dictate what can and can't be broadcast was either via a 'D Notice' from Whitehall or occasional media blackouts one of which I seem to remember was a high profile kidnapping case that we were asked not to report as the victim's life was possibly in danger.
I'm all for a good conspiracy theory but you're wide off the mark with this and I'm pretty sure if Mike were still around and heard you spouting this nonsense he'd call you 'a pratt'.
No doubt you're going to come back and tell me I have no idea what I'm talking about and suggest that 'dark forces are at work' but it is complete rubbish.

Well, what can I say?
BTW, are there any news links where it says he was riding a motorcycle? I'd never heard of that before, not saying you're wrong or anything that's all, thanks. You're right, it says he died in a six-car pile up, but no mention of any motorcycle. I'm not sure but for some reason I seem to remember him talking about driving a Rover on his radio show and how he was enjoying the latest model he had recently bought at a showroom. Can anyone verify this please?
Man dies after six-car collision: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cornwall/6192307.stm (note the TEMPLE reference where it happened - what usually happens at temples? Sacrifices to the gods). This report followed soon after, Radio host Dickin dies in crash: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/6194773.stm
His death in December 2006 was what I would say, "more than suspicious".
For those who never heard of him, he was the last of the true great Talk Radio presenters in the UK before corporate interests got rid of apparently free-thinking genuine people with true integrity. All we have left now are corporate puppets, most of which are sickening to listen to. For me, Dickin was a bit like the Talk Radio equivalent of music radio's John Peel. Who also (coincidentally?) is sadly no longer with us. But John Peel is another topic altogether, I digress.
If I remember rightly, I think Mike was actually the first radio presenter in the UK to begin broadcasting the breaking news of Diana and Dodi's crash on his show in 1997. So, amongst other things, he probably had a sense of affinity and loyalty for Diana. So you are right, it's not really surprising how it ended for Mike. I believe (or at least, according to Chris Everard's documentary "Lady Die", which I highly recommend) the technique is known in the SAS as a "Boston brakes" assassination, and is a standard/preferred way of assassinating a mark where the client wants to make it look as if it was just a random car accident. Do a web search on Boston Brakes assassinations and you'll see what I mean. Princess Grace (Grace Kelly) is believed to have been assassinated by this very technique. Or of course, he could have simply been knocked over if he was riding a motorcycle as you suggested and the scene quickly sanitised by "Police". I know some people ride motorcycles in their 60's, but Mike was quite fat and not in the best of health - can you imagine an elderly gentleman looking like an out-of-breath Henry VIII riding a motorcycle down the A30? Not likely to me, I'm afraid.
And you're right steevo, Mike was definitely making waves at TalkSport. Did you hear him talking about how his antique shotguns were illegally stolen during a Police raid at his farm-house in Cornwall (a raid which was apparently illegal with no warrant whatsoever) and branded them as criminals? He regularly talked about the "incompetence" of the Police and the injustice of the British legal system, talking about how the Police only work for 'The Crown' and have no obligation to the public whatsoever. He was against the banning of firearms in the UK and often spoke of the "utter incompetence" of the government. Fatally, he later began to talk about Freemasonry and seemed to be trying to understand it. He began to talk about the "incompetence" of Sir Ian Blair and the injustice of the slaying of Jean Charles de Menezes. I didn't hear him saying he thought 7/7 was an inside job (or at least didn't want to admit it On-Air), but yes I heard him saying he had serious doubts about the official story of 9/11. The final straw, as you pointed out, was obviously when he started to have callers regularly phoning-in to his shows discussing the possibility of Diana being murdered - and AGREEING with them. His listener-ship and audience figures were beginning to rise steadily ? then exponentially - across the country; word was spreading fast and people were beginning to talk about Diana again. He had to be silenced. In his final days he even mentioned On-Air that he had some 'unique evidence' in his possession regarding the death of Diana and a "revelation that would shock the world" and incredibly - was apparently getting ready to release it the next few days! Surprise surprise... he died over the weekend in a six-car pile up.
It's very sad to think that in all likelihood, he probably survived the crash proper and was callously murdered in the helicopter en route to hospital. As far as I know, it's difficult to get hold of any real details of what actually happened that day as the news reports seem sketchy at best. I seem to remember people like James Whale saying on his show that the official verdict was a heart attack while driving at the wheel at a location called "TEMPLE" (Revenge by the Knights Templar he regularly attacked (UK Police and Freemasons) - Also sacrifices are made at temples.), but of course it's reported that heart attacks can be induced by assassins, or perhaps his heart attack was completely fictitious, we'll never know, besides it's irrelevant I know. Whatever the cause, the operation to silence him was a success. Or at least I suppose, good enough for readers of The Sun "newspaper" to be bothered about. Case closed.
I have a great deal of respect for Mike Dickin. I didn't know him personally, but from his radio shows I thought he was a fantastic and entertaining journalist. He seemed like a wonderful family man of great integrity and honour. He was always talking about "the death of real country pubs" and how he avoided the new ones with fruit-machines and music blaring (the art of killing conversation). He was always talking about how much Britain was being ?dumbed-down? and how ?spotty teenagers? were taking over the service industry. One could tell near the end that he began to understand that the "dumbing-down of Britain" he often referred to was actually intentional by design. His mood seemed to change.
He didn't seem to joke as much as he used to about "three basically's and you're out" and "my health is not in question".
Although there was to be no room for Mike Dickin in the coming ?New World Order? Gordon Brown loves to talk about, I don't believe he deserved to die, certainly not in the cowardly way he was slain. I'm sure whoever did it thought it was hilarious. All a big joke. They probably joked "your health IS in question now, isn't it?" as they killed him. Chances are, the assassins were on the very same team who did the Diana job. Not to mention it would've been all too easy to fly an SAS hit-team on a quick helo hop from Hereford as it was merely a few miles/minutes away from the crash scene. But that's all speculation, who knows.
Unsurprisingly, Mike's colleagues at TalkSport are now towing the line more than ever and keeping the wall of silence up. George Galloway for example. He clearly isn't an idiot, but he's hardly the "freedom fighter for justice" he pretends to be either. He knows exactly what would happen if he 'went down the road' Dickin did. Pun (not necessarily) intended. That goes for ALL presenters at TalkSport, including James Whale (now working at LBC radio).
As anyone should know, TalkSport and LBC are nothing more than government-sponsored propaganda engines and they don't even bother hiding it. For example, listen to the commercial breaks. Littered with grotesque "adverts" from government departments about how "we're watching you" or "we?re coming to get you" or how it's a great idea to "take the flu jab" (DVLA / BBC License Fee / Benefit Fraud / Eugenics sponsored adverts). All "the management" have to do at TalkSport or LBC is turn round and say, "was that Mike Dickin's voice I just heard?" or "is your health in question?" and the presenters keep their mouths obediently shut. It reminds me of that old Bill Hicks gag where the new president is taken into a smoky room with a bunch of suits... they begin to roll a film of Kennedy getting his head blown off from a completely different angle nobody has ever seen before... the projector is then switched off, the lights come back up and they say, "any questions"?
Of course, TalkSport and LBC are snugly in bed with Rupert Murdoch's Sky/Fox News media empire and really, that's all you need to know. For example, does anyone know anything about Nick Ferrari? Here's what his Wikipedia entry says:
Another Bill Hicks quote: "walk away, it's a pile of sh1t". There was no chance of someone with the impartiality and integrity of Mike Dickin ever continuing to work on national radio for much longer. You either shut-up and take your pay-check, or next thing you know you've had a "little accident", happen to "hit your head" or have an unexpected massive heart attack (not unlike the one John Smith had, enabling Tony Blair to conveniently slide into his vacant shoes as head of the Labour Party and consequently Prime Minister and the rest is history)...
Mike Dickin, I salute you sir. If your family and/or friends ever happen to read this, please accept my condolences. I wish you all my love and respect I can possibly give. My wish is that Mike?s memory and legacy lives on and that in the near future - as with the murders of Diana and Dodi - those responsible are brought to justice. Perhaps even before the 100 year ban on the 400 page MI6 Diana report is over? Perhaps, before they are allowed to kill again? Perhaps, one day, justice will be done for the Machiavellian murders of our bright brave souls who dared to stand up in the face of evil, who dared to speak their minds for the good of compassion and justice. R.I.P. Mike Dickin, William Wallace, Dr David Kelly, Bill Hicks, Lady Diana, Aaron Russo, JFK, Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi, Benazir Bhutto, Alexander Litvinenko, Edith Starr Miller (Lady Queenborough), you are all heroes of humanity. So say we all?
