A huge story on July 13 was the death of Obama campaign staffer Alex Okrent. Apparently he had been at Obama campaign headquarters in Chicago, fine one minute, dead the next. Witnesses say he collapsed, whereby paramedics were called, and the next thing everyone knows, he's dead. Young, twenty-nine years old? Mysteriously dies? Nothing to see here, move on... Except... Per the Obama campaign Okrent had been a staffer going all the way back to Obama's 2004 U.S. senate campaignso being on staff for eight years. That's a long time. The guy must have a lot of history. A lot of stories to tell. Except... Do a Google search. You will find the guy literally does not exist. Except for the story about his death, the guy does not appear anywhere. Even if he wasn't an Obama campaign staffer, anyone who has Google'd their own name knows everyone that walks the face of this Earth who has not lived in a cave all of their lives will be all over the Internet. His existence wiped clean? Oddly his Twitter account is still active. While his timeline shows him to be an Obama supporter, nothing, going all the way back to 2009, indicates he was an Obama staffer. His does appear to be a gay marriage supporter, and while his timeline does not indicate he is gay, one photo dug up in an archived Twitter post seems to indicate he was gay. Also, the last person he tweeted is a suggestion to go to a popular Chicago bar frequented by lesbians and gays. Another Obama gay connection? Perhaps. Perhaps nothing to see here. Perhaps it is another right-wing conspiracy theory. Of course we were told saying the birth certificate was a forgery was a conspiracy theory and that turned out to be true...
Yes he was a leftist Obama supporter but he did tweet something interesting...

Perhaps his parents will receive as much info about their son’s death as Brian Terry’s parents.
Hopefully if the name of the forger is released Tuesday it wont be the name “Alex Okrent”. That would be a very sad day for America.
Time will tell - oh wait, the press lost interest the moment they found out about the story... guess we'll never know. Good luck to his parents...
