NO WAY!!!!! MY BEEBER IS STUNED!!
Now, all you Democrats look at that bike rack and remind yourselves the DNC will have you killed and cover up the crime, if you betray them (a wise man once told me).

When 27-year-old Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffer Seth Rich was shot dead in Washington, D.C., on July 8, 2016, the news had just broken that WikiLeaks was publishing a trove of embarrassing and damning DNC e-mails. And while the official story is that the leaked e-mails had nothing to do with Rich’s murder, that story falls apart under scrutiny.
That official story is that Rich was killed during a robbery in an area of the city with escalating levels of crime, including armed robbery. But when Rich — who was shot twice in the back at close range — was found, nothing was missing. He was still wearing his watch and expensive jewelry, he still had his phone and his wallet. His father said, “If it was a robbery — it failed because he still has his watch, he still has his money — he still has his credit cards, still had his phone so it was a wasted effort except we lost a life.”
Last week, The New American published a video of an exclusive interview with legendary political operative Roger Stone, who made it clear that he does not buy the official story. He said, “It is very clear that Seth Rich was murdered for political purposes” and not in a random robbery. He said Rich was murdered because he was the source of the DNC e-mails published by WikiLeaks.
Directly tied to all of this is the DNC claim that the e-mails were “hacked” by Russian operatives and that WikiLeaks is merely the publishing arm of the Kremlin. In truth, the e-mails weren’t “hacked” at all. As this writer reported in December 2016, Craig Murray, a former British ambassador working as an operative for WikiLeaks, said that he received the e-mails from a intermediary in a clandestine meeting in northwest Washington, D.C. He said the e-mails were provided to WikiLeaks by a disgruntled DNC employee who had “legal access” to them.
The same day the video of Stone’s interview was published, the Washington Times ran an analysis/opinion piece written by retired Navy Admiral James A. Lyons that said essentially the same thing. Lyons wrote:
The facts that we know of in the murder of the DNC staffer, Seth Rich, was that he was gunned down blocks from his home on July 10, 2016. Washington Metro police detectives claim that Mr. Rich was a robbery victim, which is strange since after being shot twice in the back, he was still wearing a $2,000 gold necklace and watch. He still had his wallet, key and phone. Clearly, he was not a victim of robbery.
This has all the earmarks of a targeted hit job. However, strangely no one has been charged with this horrific crime, and what is more intriguing is that no law enforcement agency is even investigating this murder. According to other open sources, Metro police were told by their “higher ups” that if they spoke about the case, they will be immediately terminated. It has been claimed that this order came down from very high up the “food chain,” well beyond the D.C. mayor’s office. Interesting.
Lyons also said that an FBI agent reported his gun stolen from his car near the area Rich was shot. That theft took place just before Rich’s murder.
Lyons also addressed the ridiculousness of the claim that the leaked DNC e-mails were the result of Russian hacking. He — like Stone — believes the obvious conclusion is the one supported by facts: Seth Rich provided WikiLeaks with the DNC e-mails and was killed for it.
The evidence certainly does point in that direction. This writer wrote in two articles — published May 16, 2017 and May 24, 2017 — of the convincing evidence that Rich was the source of the e-mails. The first of those two articles points out that, while WikiLeaks has a policy not to reveal sources, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange appeared on the Dutch television program Nieuwsuur to discuss the DNC leaks and said, “Whistleblowers go to significant efforts to get us material and often very significant risks. As a 27 year-old, works for the DNC, was shot in the back, murdered just a few weeks ago for unknown reasons as he was walking down the street in Washington.”
When asked to clarify, Assange said, “So ... I’m suggesting that our sources take risks and they become concerned to see things occurring like that.” Pressed as to whether he was saying Rich was the source, Assange answered, “We don’t comment on who our sources are.” When asked why he would “make the suggestion” about Rich, Assange came closer than ever to implying that there was a connection. “Because we have to understand how high the stakes are in the United States and that our sources are — our sources face serious risks,” Assange said, adding, “That’s why they come to us, so we can protect their anonymity.”
WikiLeaks also offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of Rich’s killer.
That article also addressed statements made by Rod Wheeler, a former D.C. homicide detective who is now a private investigator and was working for the Rich family. He had stated that the laptop computer belonging to Seth Rich shows that he had been in contact with WikiLeaks.
When Fox News reported on Wheeler’s statement, Assange retweeted the story.
The second article — from May 24, 2017 — covers the claims of Internet entrepreneur and political party founder Kim Dotcom that he knows Rich was WikiLeaks’ source because, he says, he communicated with Rich about it.
Lyons addresses those same statements and more in his piece for the Washington Times. And Stone shared even more in his video interview with The New American.
Considering all the evidence on the one side and the lack of it on the other side, the math just doesn’t add up to a robbery-gone-bad. It looks more and more like Seth Rich got fed up with what he saw at DNC HQ, leaked the e-mails to WikiLeaks, and was murdered for it. But given all the various and sundry crimes that Hillary Clinton and her accomplices have gotten away with where there was even more evidence than there is here, it is not likely anything will come of it.
If the media starts digging into this story they’re going to have to also start tracking down unmarked graves in Arkansas from the 1980’s.
Same category, similar MO, and similar circumstances of the unsolved murder of Donald Young killed in December 2007 in Chicago in the run-up to Barry’s immaculation. MANY similarities.
I have heard rumors that he was still alive when he reached the hospital. Is there any facts that show what happened factually with the murder?
The story was of great interest to rat insider Donna Brazile.
Hr probably got Hillarycyed!
He was conscious and talking when EMS and police arrived.
He lived for 4 hours after the shooting.
A pro killer would have taken one more second to make sure the target was dead on the spot. Pros don’t leave you alive.
His parents (who have access to the police report) say there were signs of a struggle, one being his watchband was torn in an apparent attempt to rip it off his wrist.
The idea this was a pro hit is a fantasy with no support other than pure speculation.
I think he died at the hospital.
Perfect meme.
Speculation is fun and we can all play.
Rod Wheeler is a well respected FOX NEWS Contributor but I have not heard from him in over a year. Did the powers that be get to or threaten him?
He was killed so they could claim the Russians hacked the DNC server when they supposedly would not let the FBI even check their server. I doubt the FBI was very persistent.
To me it’s obvious who killed Rich. An FBI agent says his gun was stolen. Could that simply be a cover story for disposing of the murder weapon?
I try to grab the best when I see them. Now, we need SP to show the John Podesta email regarding the leaker.
There is no evidence this was a professional hit.
There is evidence it was not.
Agreed, a lot is pure speculation.
BTW, what ever happened to the Imran Awan investigation?
Not to mention, one of the most incredible high-stakes motives I can think of.
Folks just don’t want to believe that our political parties would send in a hit squad.
THIS! is what our government has been for the past many years. The clintons brought the worst of humanity to Washington and NO ONE had the guts to do what they should have done with them. Even today the media is hell bent on taking out the only sane, truth, conservative, constitution and country caring person in all of the east and west coast. And just as hell bent on protecting the likes of clintons and those like them!
From the days of the Kennedy domination, to Johnson, to the Bushes... it’s all been ‘overlook or participate’ and since then, they have taken over our schools/colleges .. indoctrinated our youth, and it’s a force to be reckoned with!! If we can’t get it turned around under Trump, the days of our blessed nation will be one our grandchildren will never see or live under.
Johnson was a crude, hard nosed, liberal from TX who never saw or heard the word “no”. The Bushes were of the same, but managed to put a little finesse’ on it to make it look better... the Kennedy family came from crooked roots and they lived up to it and could do just about anything that got a pass.
The whole of Washington is filth from top to bottom ... Trump is in the midst of all that anyone would dare to even go to sleep at night.... there is probably no one who he could trust.... God help this nation to survive for a little while longer!!
