Journalist’s suspicious death linked to Hillary and Bill Clinton

A well-respected commentator and political watchdog for the American Free Press named Victor Thorn was found dead near his home in the mountains of Pennsylvania. The initial cause of death was listed as a gunshot wound. Police officials, family members and some close friends believe that Thorn took his own life on his birthday, August 1. Thorn was 54.

During a prolific writing career, the self-appointed watchdog authored a whopping 20 books. Thorn also reported for the American Free Press newspaper for over a decade, writing thousands of articles. He is best known for his investigate research on both President Bill Clinton and his wife, presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton.

“Thorn had a wealth of knowledge about the Clinton family and its series of questionable — even illegal — acts which ended Bill’s career as an attorney [when he was disbarred] and resulted his paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to victims,” said Caleb Dirksen-Morris, a former police detective now serving as a political consultant. “Many of his colleagues believe he had plenty of fresh material on Hillary Clintion, who Thorn believed was the most devious and corrupt politician since Lyndon Baines Johnson,” said Morris.

Thorn, who changed his name from Scott Robert Makufka,  wrote a three-part book series —  the Clinton trilogy— that covered the history of two of America’s most powerful and corrupt individuals. He also covered Bill Clinton’s sexual assaults of women, and the suspected CIA drug running out of Mena, Arkansas while Clinton was governor of the state.

Conspiracy theorists have for years alleged that an inordinate number of people who get close to Bill and Hillary Clinton’s world have met untimely deaths through homicides, apparent suicides, and suspicious accidents. After they left the White House, those mysterious deaths were all but forgotten. However, within the last two months, two men connected with Hillary Clinton met their demise through suspicious circumstances, including a DNC whistleblower.

A 27-year-old man who worked for the Democratic National Committee was shot and killed as he walked home early Sunday in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Northwest Washington, D.C., police and his family said.

Seth Conrad Rich died after he was shot multiple times three blocks east of Howard University Hospital, said members of the Metropolitan Police Department on Sunday, July 11.

The victim’s mother, Mary Rich, said police told her family her son may have been the victim of an attempted robbery.

DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz issued a statement on Monday mourning the death of Rich, who worked as voter expansion data director.

“Our hearts are broken with the loss of one of our DNC family members over the weekend. Seth Rich was a dedicated, selfless public servant who worked tirelessly to protect the most sacred right we share as Americans – the right to vote,” she said. “He saw the great potential of our nation and believed that, together, we can make the world a better place,” said Wasserman Schultz, who is having political problems of her own thanks to a Wikileaks document dump.

Meanwhile, presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton spoke about Rich: “Just this past Sunday, a young man, Seth Rich — who worked for the Democratic National Committee, to expand voting rights — was shot and killed in his neighborhood in Washington. He was just 27 years old,” she said.

“Surely we can agree that weapons of war have no place on the streets of America,” Clinton added, even though police didn’t identify the weapon in the few news reports on the killing.

“[Police officers] did not release any information on the type of weapon the shooter may have used so it’s not known how Clinton knew it was a ‘weapon of war?'” said police forensic expert Saul Levinson.

He was talking on the phone with his girlfriend when she heard noise on Rich’s end of the line, Mary Rich said. Her son told his girlfriend not to worry about it.

“There had been a struggle. His hands were bruised, his knees are bruised, his face is bruised, and yet he had two shots to his back, and yet they never took anything,” she said.

“Police are calling it an attempted robbery gone wrong, but once the victim was shot dead, they had sufficient time to empty his pockets, which they didn’t. They took nothing but Rich’s life,” said Levinson

“They hurt the community, and they hurt the long-term possibility of what he could have done. They took his life for literally no reason. They didn’t finish robbing him, they just took his life,” Mary Rich said during a press briefing.

Rich lived in the neighborhood, Acting Capt. Anthony Haythe of the Metropolitan Police Department’s homicide branch said at a news conference Monday morning. Fifth District police officers were patrolling the area about 4:20 a.m. when they heard gunshots, police said. When police arrived on Flagler Place, they found Rich suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

Police have no witnesses and are searching the area for surveillance video footage, Haythe said. The acting captain said he could not comment on whether the killing was related to recent robberies in the area.

Rich worked for the Democratic National Committee, his father said. He graduated from Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, and previously worked on Democrats’ campaigns, for the U.S. Census Bureau and as a boating instructor at a summer camp, according to his LinkedIn page. “I have an enormous interest in public service and working towards making the world a better place,” Rich wrote on the page.

Seth Conrad Rich was the Voter Expansion Data Director at the DNC and had been working on exposing the recent cases of election fraud and voter suppression during the recent primaries around the country, according to his LinkedIn.com listing. Some Internet web sites that cover politics have said Rich was a whistleblower who discovered irregularities in Democratic Party voting patterns.

In addition, there are major questions being raised about the suspicious death of former United Nations (U.N.) official John Ashe last month. Serving as president of the U.N., Ashe had contact with both Bill and Hillary Clinton, according to news reports.

A bombshell report shows that Ashe, who was found dead, supposedly due to a heart attack, is having the reason for death brought into question. Police officers in the city of Dobbs Ferry, New York have claimed he instead died by a crushed throat in a “workout accident.”

Ashe was scheduled to testify in court, along with Ng Lap Seng – a Chinese businessman and co-defendant – who received more than $1 billion during his term as president of the U.N. in donations. Sing also found ways to illegally funnel money to Democrats during President Bill Clinton’s term in office.

Ashe,  was accused of tax fraud, died in his home in Westchester County, New York. The U.N. said he’d had a heart attack. But the local Dobbs Ferry police said Thursday that his throat had been crushed, presumably by a barbell he dropped while pumping iron.

Ashe was due in court with his Chinese businessman co-defendant Ng Lap Seng, who is charged with smuggling $4.5 million into the US since 2013 and lying that it was to buy art and casino chips.
