'The Village Voice' does the 'Clinton Body Count'

[Theirs]-"Clinton Body Count Latest 'Victim' Falls "

There's no question an unusually high number of people around the president— according to some lists as many as 100— have died accidental, violent, and at least superficially suspicious deaths. The latest occurred the week before last when Lieutenant Colonel Mark Cwick, a Marine Corps helicopter pilot who was a member of the unit that ferried the president and other high-ranking officials around the Washington area, died when his car swerved off the road to avoid a collision with an auto that had just passed him. Cwick, 41, was pronounced dead on August 20 in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

Within Cwick's elite Marines unit, two other strange deaths are known to have occurred. In April, Major Marc Hohle, who had been a pilot for Clinton in the first year of his first term as president, died in a helicopter crash on Okinawa. In March, another member of the special unit, Corporal Eric S. Fox, a helicopter crewman, was found dead of a gunshot wound to his head. Fox's body was found near a West Virginia schoolyard after his auto crashed. His death was ruled a suicide, but no explanation was given.

No doubt the deaths of Cwick, Hohle, and Fox will join the growing list of names that Linda Tripp has referred to as the Clinton "body count." The list includes names like Vince Foster as well as the late Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, who died in a plane crash in April 1996, but who conspiracy mongers claim was shot. And then there's former Clinton bodyguard Jerry Luther Parks, onetime head of the Clinton-Gore 1992 security team, who was gunned down in 1993 while driving his car in Little Rock.


ahem....

If you spend any time at all,it seems, very close to an extremely evil person, death might be the disease that you catch.

Still many to come, I'll bet!

Hallelujah! This stuff is finally making its way to the liberal press. Before, they would have dismissed this type of story as an "urban legend"--you know, like the ones that a certain soft drink was laced with a special compound to sterilize black men, and that the logo of a now-bankrupt sportswear firm, "TROOP," stood for "To Rule Over Oppressed People."

Boy wouldn't you like to be the Insurance agents who rake in the insurance policy fees on all the Clinton associates?!

Once in a while the Village Voice gets it right. In 1993 Nat Henthoff published some editorials supporting pro-lifers charged under the RICO statute.

Yeah, but the firms they represent usually go belly up after the payouts.

I read Nat, James and Jason of the 'Voice'.

As you note, sometimes, I agree with them. Sometimes, I don't.

Nat Hentoff is one of my favorite liberals--no sarcasm intended. He's another nominee for "honest liberal." Plus he's one heck of a good jazz critic, too.

More and more, instead of a battle between right vs. left, this struggle is becoming "both ends against the middle"...

Uh huh, you mean that a guy wrecks his car and then whips out a gun and shoots himself. Oh yeah, happens all the time I'm sure. (sarcasm off)

Body count grows, House & Senate compromised, Justice Department running interference, mainstream news propagandizing, syncophants spinning on TV...sheesh at least there is an island of sanity at freerepublic.

It actually sounds like something from a Monty Python skit: Dear Sirs:

I've crashed my car hundreds of times and hardly ever shot myself in the back of the head.

Sincerely,

Seems that everyone dies, in this Klyntronian society, except the sonovab**ches who would really imnprove the world by departing it. Sounds like Satan's plans are right on schedule.

Good find.

This is beside the point as well as quite tasteless, but-- Cwick, Hohle + Fox? As in Fox Hohle or Cwick Fox? That's really weird.

Yeah, except this info has been available for years now. Look for more such epiphanies from the press as Clinton's last year winds down. It's bogus. They're just trying to salvage some appearance of journalistic integrity.

Far as I'm concerned, it's way too late to do any good. The damage to our republic has been done and the press allowed it to happen.

I'm probably preachin' to the choir, but if I may clarify -- not only (us?) "conspiracy mongers" but four top military professionals question the Ron Brown death.

Unfortunately, they found out how whistleblowers are treated under this administration.

..or gets rear ended on the highway, pulls over, then walks out into traffic to get run over by a truck (brother of Clinton's Exec secretary, testifying in Impeachment trial about Monica's visits- had her brother beat up night prior to testifying - anyone heard of mob messages?)

So the author labels anyone who notices this pattern of deaths a "conspiracy monger" ?

"Uh huh, you mean that a guy wrecks his car and then whips out a gun and shoots himself. Oh yeah, happens all the time I'm sure. (sarcasm off) "

Yeah...remember that one. I'm just sure his "suicide" was due to angst over his insurance premiums increasing since he had just been in an accident. Normal reaction, I guess.
