The Clinton 'body count'
New alarm over growing list of dead close to president

By Michael Rivero
Copyright 1998, WorldNetDaily.com

"Dear Sir," began Monica Lewinsky's somewhat peevish letter of July 3rd,
1997.  In it, according to the recently released report by Kenneth Starr,
the former intern chided the president for failing to secure for her a
new White House job, and hinted that continued stalling would result in
word of their affair leaking out.

The next day, Monica confronted Bill Clinton in an Oval Office meeting
she described as "very emotional;" a meeting which ended when the
president warned her, "It's illegal to threaten the president of the
United States."

Three days later, another former White House intern, Mary Mahoney, was
shot five times in the back of the Georgetown Starbuck's she managed. 
Two of her co-workers were also killed.  Even though cash remained in the
register, the triple murder was quickly dismissed as a botched robbery.
No suspects have ever been arrested.

Coincidence?  Maybe.

Former Democratic National Committee fundraiser and Commerce Secretary
Ron Brown was under criminal investigation.  Indictments seemed imminent.
 Ron Brown had reportedly told a confidante that he would, "not go down
alone."  Days later, his plane crashed on approach to Dubrovnik airport
during a trade mission excursion to Croatia.  Military forensics
investigators were alarmed by what appeared to be a .45-caliber bullet
hole in the top of Brown's head.

Coincidence?  Maybe.

Yet another fundraiser was Larry Lawrence, famed for his short residence
at Arlington National Cemetery.  Less well known is that he had been
under criminal investigation by the State Department for three weeks when
he died.

Coincidence?  Maybe.

But for a growing number of Americans, the sheer numbers of strange
deaths surrounding the career of Bill Clinton has begun to raise serious
questions.  In a meeting with Vernon Jordan, Monica Lewinsky reportedly
expressed fears that she might, "end up like Mary Mahoney," and began to
make sure that others knew of her affair with Bill Clinton.

Of all the strange deaths surrounding the Clintons, none has come under
more renewed scrutiny than the fate of White House Deputy Counsel Vincent
Foster, who was found dead in Fort Marcy Park on July 20, 1993.  The
official investigation concluded that Foster inserted a gun into his
mouth and pulled the trigger.  Yet according to the lab results neither
Foster's fingerprints nor blood was on the gun, nor were powder granules
or bullet fragments traceable to that gun in his wounds.  The purported
"suicide note" was found to be a forgery by three independent experts. 
The record of a second wound on Foster's neck, and an FBI memo that
contradicts the official autopsy, strongly suggests that Foster's wounds
were misrepresented in the official report.  The FBI's own records
revealed that deliberate deception was used to link Foster with the gun
found with his body.  Partly on the basis of that evidence, the FBI is
now in federal court on charges of witness harassment and evidence
tampering in the case.

In normal police procedure, homicide is assumed right from the start. 
Suicide must be proven, because homicides are often concealed behind
phony suicides.  Yet in the case of Foster, serious doubts persist
regarding the credibility of the evidence offered up in support of the
claim of suicide, and a recent Zogby Poll revealed that more than
two-thirds of all Americans no longer think the official conclusion of
suicide is believable.

The official conclusion regarding Commerce Secretary Ron Brown's death
was that his plane was brought down by, "the worst storm in a decade." 
However, the Dubrovnik airport weather office, just two miles from the
crash site, could not confirm the existence of any such storm, nor did
any other pilots in the area.  According to the April 8, 1996, Aviation
Week & Space Technology, three separate radio links to the aircraft all
quit while the aircraft was still seven miles from the crash, evidence
that the plane suffered a total electrical failure in flight which was
never investigated.  The perfectly cylindrical hole in Ron Brown's skull
never triggered an autopsy.  After Ron Brown's death, his co-worker,
Barbara Wise, was found locked in her office at the Department of
Commerce, dead, bruised, and partially nude.  Following Brown's death,
John Huang's new boss at Commerce was Charles Meissner, who shortly
thereafter died in yet another plane crash.

These and other questionable deaths have been collected together in a
document known as the "Dead Bodies List," which can now be found in many
locations on the World Wide Web.  Some of the cases are poorly documented
and have been dismissed until now as "conspiracy theory."  However,
analysis of the "Dead Bodies List" by experts on the Internet revealed
that in many cases, deaths whose circumstances demanded an investigation
had been ignored.

Some events officially declared to be accidents seem to stretch the
bounds of credulity.  In one case, Stanley Heard, member of a Clinton
advisory committee and chiropractor to Clinton family members, and his
lawyer Steve Dickson were flying to a meeting with a reporter.  Heard's
private plane caught fire, but he was able to make it back to his airport
and rent another plane to continue his journey.  The rented plane then
caught fire.  This time, Heard did not make it back to the airport. 
Gandy Baugh, attorney for Clinton friend and convicted cocaine
distributor Dan Lasater, fell out of a building.  Baugh's law partner was
dead just one month later.  Jon Parnell Walker, an RTC investigator
looking into Whitewater, interrupted his inspection of his new apartment
to throw himself off of the balcony.

Nor does the pattern of suspicious deaths discriminate by gender.  Susan
Coleman was reportedly a mistress to Clinton while he was Arkansas
attorney general; she was seven months pregnant with what she claimed was
Clinton's child when she died.  Judy Gibbs, a former Penthouse Pet and
call girl, reportedly counted Bill Clinton among her clients.  Shortly
after agreeing to help police in an investigation into Arkansas cocaine
trafficking, Judy burned to death.  Kathy Ferguson, a witness in the
Paula Jones case, was killed with a gunshot behind the ear and was
declared a suicide, even though her suitcases had all been packed for an
immediate trip.  One month later, Bill Shelton, Kathy's boyfriend and a
police officer who had vowed to get to the bottom of Kathy's murder, was
also dead of a gunshot, his body dumped on Kathy's grave.

Another alarming trend observed in these deaths is how society's
safeguards against murder appear to have been compromised.  Many of the
questionable deaths involved either negligence or the complicity of
medical examiners.

Dr. Fahmy Malek was the Arkansas medical examiner under then-Gov. Bill
Clinton.  His most famous case involved his ruling in the "Train Deaths"
case of Don Henry and Kevin Ives in which Dr. Malek ruled that the two
boys had fallen asleep on the railroad tracks and been run over by a
train.  A subsequent autopsy by another examiner found signs of foul play
on both the boys' bodies and concluded that they had been murdered. 
According to Jean Duffey, the prosecutor in the Saline County Drug Task
Force, the two boys accidentally stumbled onto a "protected" drug drop
and were killed for it.  Dan Harmon, the Arkansas investigator who
concluded there was no murder, is now in prison on drug charges.  Despite
the evidence for murder and national exposure, the Henry/Ives case has
never officially been re-opened, and Jean Duffy has since left Arkansas
out of fear for her life.  Several witnesses in the Henry/Ives case later
died and were ruled as either suicides or natural causes by Dr. Malek,
whose willingness to provide an innocuous explanation for these deaths is
illustrated in one case where he claimed that a headless victim had died
of natural causes.  Malek claimed that the victim's small dog had eaten
the head, which was later recovered from a trash bin.  When pressed to
fire Dr. Malek, Gov. Clinton excused the medical examiner's performance
as the result of overwork and gave him a raise.

Dr. Malek's Washington D.C. counterpart was Fairfax, Virginia, Medical
Examiner James C. Beyer.  Long before his autopsy on Vincent Foster,
Beyer's work was disputed.  In the case of Tim Easely, Beyer ignored
obvious defensive wounds, and eyewitness reports of an argument between
Easely and his girlfriend, to conclude that Easely had committed suicide
by stabbing himself in the chest.  When an outside expert called
attention to the fact that Easely had been stabbed clear through one of
his palms, the girlfriend confessed to the murder.  In the case of Tommy
Burkett, Beyer ignored signs of violence done to Burkett to rule it was a
simple suicide.  A subsequent autopsy showed that Beyer had not even done
the work he claimed in his original autopsy.  Even though Beyer showed
X-rays to Burkett's father, Beyer later claimed they did not exist.  When
Beyer performed the Foster autopsy, he wrote in his report that X-rays
had been taken, then again claimed they never existed when asked to
produce them.

In some cases, the deaths simply have no innocuous explanation.  One
witness, Jeff Rhodes (who had information on the Henry/Ives murders) was
found with his hands and feet partly sawn off, shot in the head, then
burned and thrown in a trash bin.  Another obvious murder was Jerry
Parks, Clinton's head of security in Little Rock.  Immediately following
news of Foster's death, Parks reportedly told his family, "Bill Clinton
is cleaning house."  Just weeks after the Parks' home had been broken
into and his files on Clinton stolen, Parks was shot four times in his
car.

Ron Miller, on whose evidence Nora and Gene Lum were convicted of
laundering Clinton campaign donations, went from perfect heath to death
in just one week in a manner so strange that his doctors ordered special
postmortem tests.  The results of those tests have never been released,
but toxicologists familiar with the case suggest that Miller's symptoms
are consistent with Ricin, a cold war assassin's poison.

For a fortunate few the murder attempts have failed.  In the case of
Arkansas drug investigator Russell Welch, his doctors were able to
identify that he had been infected with military anthrax in time to save
his life.  Gary Johnson, Gennifer Flowers' neighbor whose video
surveillance camera had accidentally caught Bill Clinton entering
Flowers' apartment, was left for dead by the men who took the video tape.
 Gary survived, although he is crippled for life.  L.J. Davis, a reporter
looking into the Clinton scandals, was attacked in his hotel room but
survived (his notes on Clinton were stolen).  Dennis Patrick, whose bond
trading account at Dan Lasater's company was used to launder millions of
dollars of drug money, has had four attempts on his life.

But the real importance of the "Dead Bodies List" isn't what it tells us
of modern political intrigues, but what it tells us of ourselves, in how
we respond to it.  The list has been around for quite some time, largely
ignored by the general public, completely ignored by the mainstream
media.  The common reaction has been that such a list is unbelievable,
not for its contents, but for its implications.  For that reason, most
Americans have, until recently, accepted at face value the official
assurances that all these deaths are isolated incidents with no real
meaning; that all the indications of foul play and cover-up are just an
accumulation of clerical error and "overwork;" that it's all just
"coincidence."

On Aug. 17, as Bill Clinton admitted his "inappropriate relationship"
with Monica Lewinsky on nationwide television, Americans began to
confront the unavoidable fact that this president and his administration
had lied to the public about a rather trivial matter.  Americans came to
realize that this president and his administration could no longer safely
be assumed to have told the truth on more serious matters.

In this new climate of doubt, the "Dead Bodies List" has enjoyed a new
vogue, albeit a dark one.  Talk radio discusses it.  Total strangers
e-mail it to each other.  What was unthinkable a few months ago has
become all too plausible.  Political murder has come to America.  Those
cases on the "Dead Bodies List" where hard evidence directly contradicts
the official conclusion have come under renewed scrutiny.

It takes courage for the average citizen to accept that the government
has lied to them, for by doing so, the citizen also accepts the
obligation to do something about it.  Americans know beyond a doubt that
they have been lied to.  Americans are discovering that they cannot
ignore the fact of being lied to without sacrificing that part of the
American self-image that holds honor and justice as ideals.  But as the
above poll would suggest, such a sacrifice is no longer acceptable.
