What on Earth are you saying? He was in a hospital under traction with extensive metal rods to keep him immobile. There is no mystery. There are accident, medical, and coroner's records. What more do you want? There is no equivocation on this subject. You have no grounds for imagining anything else.

Moreover, his remark was a dead letter. It would never have been a good decision, and no one picked it up. He had no sense of the Big Picture. We had just won a war with the indispensable help of the Soviet Union. Most of Europe was in ruins. The United States was exhausted, politically, morally, and materially. We had our hands full re-establishing order and wondering what Stalin might do.

So, the "theory"---or wild fantasy, to give it a proper name---has no substance. No one was concerned with what Patton might have said. He had already said it. It was a non-starter. There is no way his death could have been beneficial to Rockefeller, et al., but that is beside the point that Patton died of complications from his injuries. End of story.
