His death was at a very convenient time for certain people and the manner of the accident quite suspicious. He was becoming more and more outspoken and wanted to return home and i believe spread the word on what he believed/witnessed.
Suspicious only out of paranoia. You don't have any basis to imagine an alternative future that justifies present suspicion. Plenty of people meet an untimely death (including, for example, my brother). Patton was not immune to death, and frequently acted in the face of it as a method of leadership. The only people who remember Patton are those who respect his military reputation. He was not a public figure in any political sense. His episode of the slapped soldier could have nullified any public attention he might have attempted to gain.
Besides which, what are you proposing? That the U.S. should suddenly turn on the Soviet Union, an ally, in an undeclared war of destruction? That is a non-starter. The U.S.---and everyone---was war-weary, including the Soviets. We had only 3 atomic bombs at the end of the war, and had to use two of them to overawe the Japanese into surrender. You have no sense of realism or prudence.
Patton may have thought he could have made mincemeat of the Soviet forces, and maybe he could have, if he were provided enough men, munitions, and fuel to advance all the way to Moscow. And that's the stopping point, because assaults on Moscow famously come to a dire end. Patton was notoriously an "individual contributor." He did not function well as a team player, and any war with the Soviet Union would have required far more commitment than just a well-supplied Patton. Upon consideration, even he would have recognized that fact.
So, stop living in a paranoid fantasy. Patton had lived the fulfillment of what he conceived to be his destiny, and there was no further historical role for him.

late 1990s revelation : parts and core materials for 11 total (less 2 used = 9), not 5 total.
perhaps only 3 already out in pacific rim, but as I said 11 total including the 2 dropped, 9 remaining piles of parts
game theory proved why we needed more than 3, in case they assumed we could only make 3 a year
Pretty much
