PG related because associated with Hillary's DoS. I realize it's a flimsy association at this point, but I hope mods keep this up. I have a hunch this needs some digging...

"On Facebook, a post by Beverly Santicola read as follows: “Please pray for my cousins and Uncle Emil as Kurt Smolek died in a tragic accident this week. He was a husband, dad, son, brother and grandson to them and they are dealing with a lot of shock, grief and pain. This photo was taken in happier times. Kurt is the one in the red during a trip to Vietnam when he was on assignment there. His mom and dad are in the front. Kurt's dad Don is my first cousin. Words cannot convey my sadness and grief.”"

@GumShoe , I'm going to give this a "Potential Lead" flair. There may be more connections here.

Hey hey! Turns out that Kurt "Smolek" is actually Kurt Campbell - [email protected]

Multiple hits on the Clinton emails... didn't check Podesta... going to keep digging.

Some stuff re: China and the dissident w/ the name of Chen Guangcheng, and how he was back-stabbed by Campbell on an agreement to come to the USA. Nothing too damning though. Not yet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_M._Campbell https://www.aspeninstitute.org/our-people/kurt-campbell/

Why "Smolek"? Why the name shift? There is no Kurt Smolek that fits this profile in Wikipedia.

Mad_As_Hell

Why do you think Smolek = Campbell? Their similarity in appearance or something more substantial/verifiable? Just checking before going digging on Wikileaks

SoSpricyHotDog

You are right... it may not be the same person. I couldn't find much of a background on Smolek at all, and then I began seeing reports that it was actually Campbell. But the age seems "off". Smolek in his 40's and Campbell in his 60's. Similar lines of work, but it may not be the same person after all.

One instance was actually a raw news feed I picked up on Smolek from FreeRepublic.com... it didn't list "Campbell" in the article, but, on the back-end keywords - take a look below:

Diplomatic Security special agent, who has ties to Dayton area, is found dead in Potomac River WHIO ^ | 31 August 2017 Posted on 9/1/2017, 12:04:01 AM by Lorianne

Kurt Smolek, a Diplomatic Security special agent with the State Department and Dayton Police Academy graduate, was found dead in the Potomac River on Wednesday and the cause is listed as undetermined pending an autopsy.

We're hearing tonight that Smolek, 45, is a 1998 academy graduate and one of his assignments as a special agent was as a member of Condoleezza Rice's security team.

According to DC Metro police, Smolek was last seen Monday, Aug. 28, in the 600 block of Water Street, Southwest, about 10 p.m. A missing persons bulletin described hims as white with graying brown hair, brown eyes, 5 feet 8 inches tall and 190 pounds.

But again, those keywords could have been inserted by someone who came across some of the same rumors I did.

Sorry for the confusion if this isn't the case!

Thanks for replying, those keywords are interesting alright - hopefully we'll know more soon, maybe 4chan will dig up some connections

He is a "Mole"

Here is a link to 2015 OSA report by member Kurt Smolek. Scroll to the bottom and you will see his email address. Put it in the Duck Duck Go search bar and interesting links will come up. Can anyone explain them? https://www.osac.gov/pages/ContentReportDetails.aspx?cid=17372

Mad_As_Hell

Seems like he's been scrubbed from the Internet - lots of broken links to Arkansas and Russian (?) websites

2 rounds in the back of the head. A Clinton "suicide".

I found a more detailed account of Mr. Smolek on DOS archived content.

"He was previously the Regional Security Officer in Tel Aviv, Israel from August 2011 to August 2014. Prior to his service in Israel, Mr. Schurman was the Director of the Office of Overseas Protective Operations, where he managed a budget of nearly $2 billion and was responsible for global management of DS’s local guard, residential security, surveillance detection and personal protective security programs.

Domestically, Mr. Schurman has served as Executive Assistant to the Assistant Secretary for Diplomatic Security, Chief of DS’s Criminal Investigations Division, and a member of the Secretary of State’s protective detail..." https://2009-2017.state.gov/r/pa/ei/biog/bureau/235703.htm Please archive.

Here's the DC Metropolitan Police Department definition of "critical missing person" :

"The Metropolitan Police Department closes more than 99 percent of its missing persons cases, with the majority of the cases being closed in a short amount of time.

A "critical missing person" is defined as any person under the age of 15 or over the age of 65, or anyone that, based on the specific circumstances (e.g., mentally incapacitated, patient who presents an imminent danger to him/herself or others, in a life threatening situation, real or suspected danger of foul play, etc.), is designated as such by the Patrol District’s Watch Commander."

Perhaps the last one listed is the appropriate definition, yes?

Are_we__sure

It applies to suicidal people as well

you are losing this war

Here's the link https://missing.dc.gov

Factfinder2

Thanks for the link. It looks like the definition of a critical missing person in Smolek's age category is open ended (it states "etc.") and could be pretty much anything the District Watch Commander decides.

Edited for clarification.

Factfinder2

To be clear, this is not about Smolek. It's about Schurman, the State Dept. guy who signed the department's public notification of Smolek's death.

Oops! Should read "I found a more detailed account of Mr. Schurman on DOS archived content." Thanks for spotting that. I wonder how this fits in with Benghazi....

Found this link which appears to have been written by Kurt Smolek. Mr. Schurman's name appears on it as well:

"Cambodia 2015 Crime and Safety Report" "Organized crime – both national and transnational – continues to plague Cambodia." "Although no establishments are “off-limits,” U.S. Embassy employees are prohibited from frequenting establishments that exist primarily to support the sex trade.

Additionally, Embassy employees are prohibited from ordering food items from local restaurants that contain marijuana or other illicit ingredients, which are usually marketed under the term “happy,” particularly “happy pizza.”"

"Drug-related Crimes

Cambodia has a significant, growing illegal drug problem that includes increasing levels of consumption, trafficking, and production of drugs. Recent trends indicate that Cambodia produces narcotics destined for local and regional markets. Arrests for drug trafficking continue at a steady pace."

"Police Response

Police are poorly paid, poorly trained, and lack the resources/equipment to perform their duties effectively."

See named individuals at bottom of page of link. https://www.osac.gov/pages/ContentReportDetails.aspx?cid=17372

.....depends how strong your confirmation bias is

Why was the Smolek "critical missing person" case being investigated by the Youth and Family Services Division of the Metro DC police? https://mpdc.dc.gov/release/critical-missing-person-kurt-smolek "

“Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Kurt Smolek is asked to call the Metropolitan Police Department at 202-727-9099, the Youth and Family Services Division at 202-576-6768, or 911.”

https://mpdc.dc.gov/page/youth-and-family-services-division

"The Metropolitan Police Department, Youth and Family Services Division (YFSD), is responsible for the following:

• Investigating Child Abuse and Neglect

• Investigating Child Sexual Abuse & Exploitation (including child pornography and child prostitution)

• Investigating Juvenile Missing Persons (under the age of 18 years) & Parental Kidnapping

• Investigating Persons In Need of Supervision (PINS)

• Juvenile Processing Center (process juvenile arrestees)

• Absconder Unit (locate youth in abscondence)

• Investigating Internet Crimes against Children Unit"

EDIT:

Speculation:

1) He was a "critical' missing person because he was under investigation or a witness in an investigation.

2) The investigation had something to do with children, possibly trafficking, since he had been stationed in Cambodia for the State Dept. His car was transported back to the U.S. in March: http://www.tradesparq.com/Customs/87789591/Customs-Data-Mr-Kurt-Smolek

3) When he got wind of the investigation, he killed himself or he was killed by his co-conspirators or bosses to shut him up.

Here is one reason nothing has been done in DC Here is a picture of Peter Newsham with James Alefantis. Oops that did not appear. It was from a comment I found on Reddit found under Duck Duck Go. Well, anyway I remember that Newsham was pictured with JA and he is also linked to charging a 13 yr old with fabricating a rape story. He is just plain disgusting and a piece of vermin imo after reading up on him and remembering that story. Bottom of the Barrel is where he lives and we can depend on him to do nothing.

SayWhatNOWAY

Maybe linked it to YFSD to get caller ID info from callers. If people call into the crime stoppers hotlines, it is supposedly anonymous.

Are_we__sure

That's some big speculation.

You can search that site and find lots of missing adults and lots of critical missing people.

A critical missing person is someone who might be in danger.

Suicidal

Mentallly impaired

Foul play suspected

kid fucking faggot has spoken

Has the family been told to call it an accident already?

Smolek was described by police as a white male with greying brown hair, and brown eyes. He is 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 190 pounds.

Diplomatic Security Services of the Department of State is charged with global responsibilities, including the safeguarding of American diplomatic personnel, property, and classified information. DSS also has jurisdiction over classified communications, such as secure email and other platforms.

On the Internet emerged condolences for Smolek’s passing, which are attributed to Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and Assistant Director for International Programs Christian Schurman. The note read:

"It is with great sadness that I share with you the news of the death of Diplomatic Security Special Agent Kurt Smolek. Kurt was found deceased today and the DS [Diplomatic Security agency] is working closely with local authorities to investigate the circumstances of his death. Please keep the Smolek family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

“Christian Schurman.”

According to a State Department bio for Christian J. Schurman:

“Christian J. Schurman was named Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and Assistant Director for International Programs on September 15, 2014. Mr. Schurman is responsible for evaluating, managing, and mitigating security threats to, as well as the direction of resources for, more than 240 diplomatic posts within the International Programs Directorate.

“A Diplomatic Security (DS) Special Agent since 1987, Mr. Schurman was promoted to the rank of Minister Counselor in April 2014.”

A search of the Department of State website for mention of Kurt Smolek proved fruitless.

On Facebook, a post by Beverly Santicola read as follows: “Please pray for my cousins and Uncle Emil as Kurt Smolek died in a tragic accident this week. He was a husband, dad, son, brother and grandson to them and they are dealing with a lot of shock, grief and pain. This photo was taken in happier times. Kurt is the one in the red during a trip to Vietnam when he was on assignment there. His mom and dad are in the front. Kurt's dad Don is my first cousin. Words cannot convey my sadness and grief.”
