Coincidence?

That will be for you the readers to decide.

The photo below is Barack Obama shaking hands with a man by the name of John Poindexter, a Texas millionaire businessman also noted for being a donor to the Democrat Party and who also received an award from Barack Obama related to his military service in Vietnam.

Poindexter is the owner of the very Cibolo Creek Ranch Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was found dead at earlier this week.

Found this, for what it’s worth...

Following his undergraduate education, John volunteered for the U.S. Army and for Officer Candidate School. After serving as President of his OCS class and of the Student Brigade at Fort Knox, he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in armor. John’s first assignment was with the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment in Germany, where he was promoted to the command of L Troop. After airborne and ranger training, he volunteered for service in the Republic of South Vietnam where he was assigned to the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment. John commanded Headquarters Troop and Alpha Troop, 1st Squadron, successively, in 1969 and 1970. In addition to two Purple Hearts, John was awarded a Silver Star, the Soldier’s Medal, two Bronze Stars, the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Silver Star, and several other decorations.

In 2009, the Presidential Unit Citation was conferred on John’s Vietnam command of four decades earlier, Alpha Troop, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment. The nation’s highest decoration for a combat unit was awarded to Alpha Troop for the “truly extraordinary” rescue “against all odds” of an American infantry company that was facing certain annihilation. The granting of the decoration was commemorated in a nationally televised ceremony in the Rose Garden of the White House presided over by President Barack Obama. John led the 200-man relief force, the principal element of which was Alpha Troop, which effectuated the rescue mission. A nationally released hardcover entitled Blackhorse Riders, in which John is the principal protagonist, describes the rescue mission and the White House Ceremony.

“A Supreme Court justice dies under weird circumstances and nothing is done to investigate.”

Hammer meet nail.

There is a reason why, but no one is going to admit it.
They will state that it was a remote rural area and it was a weekend and all kinds of other excuses, but if Scalia had been a democrat party darling, it would have been treated much differently.

[vetvetdoug]

The obvious question is why did Scalia go to a area surrounded by Marfadites?

A Silver Star, Soldier’s medal, Purple Heart, and Army Commendation Medal.

Sometimes I think I am living during the movie "They live" with Rowdy Roddy Piper

No kidding.....and it seems like most people would rather fight you than putting on the glasses.....

[Envisioning]

Just me or does he look Harry Reid’ish?

DOD is not DOArmy. Was only in the Army *officially* during basic and discharge. 98G.

Glad your eyes are better than mine - I never cared much for medals as during Nam they were handed out to all an sundry like crackers.

[urbanpovertylawcenter]

Creepy looking!

Needs to buy a chin, wouldn’t be able to suck out of a straw with that one.

[PIF]

Thanks.

This stinks to high heaven!!

Seems odd to me too. Like he’s trying soooo hard to make it seem nothing’s out of the ordinary, he over-tells it, filling in with a bunch of extraneous and too-perfect details, as if he’s trying too hard to sound convincing.
(Over-supplying details is common in pathological liars.)

And in the process, he inadvertently lets one major detail slip: he went to Scalia’s room alone at 8:30 am, but upon receiving no answer, did not unlock the door (he says) but returned at 11am accompanied by an unnamed friend of Scalia’s, at which time they DID enter the room, finding Scalia’s body cold with no pulse.
Thus, he inadvertently reveals the fact that he had a key to Scalia’s room all along, which of course he would since he is the owner of the resort. So he could have entered the room at any time before and up to 8:30 am.
To me, that right there is major. It just jumps out.

Then Poindexter says he asked a doctor (who?) and was advised not to bother attempting to revive Scalia’s already cold body!
But then he gets a Justice of the Peace to pronounce COD “natural causes” over the phone—? Before family is notified?
And then he —all by his lonesome?—was frustrated trying to get thru to Washington due to—it’s a weekend!!
( Which of course allowed more stalling for time, while various officials were shown a body with hands arranged, neatly folded on the chest. Another detail that suggests direct action by an intruder, regardless of the location of the pillow.)

And did he mention WHOM in Washington he was trying to reach, or eventually did reach? I missed that detail.

Poindexter is acting guilty, as if he needs to prove to the world that HE did everything he should have (—and more! he would have even done CPR on a cold body, but they told him not to!!—) by over-supplying details which then don’t add up, and further trying to stuff the holes in the story with more explanations.

I’m as upset about the lack of proper investigation and forensic protocols w/regard to the death of Justice Scalia as anyone; however, casting aspersions upon John Poindexter seems like a stretch; lacking any further evidence.

I looked up the award Obama presented; it was for a Presidential Unit Citation which Poindexter had personally lobbied several presidents to approve for the men of his unit.

Poindexter served as a Captain in the Army assigned to an armored cavalry regiment that came under heavy fire from the NVA up near the Cambodian border. He was personally awarded the Silver Star and the Soldier’s Medal for his valor during that action.

Poindexter left the Army in the early 1970’s and returned to civilian employment. Year’s later he found out that none of the men under his command received similar awards for valor that he had recommended. He then spent years interviewing, documenting, lobbying for and finally obtaining approval for the Presidential Unit Citation for the men of his regiment.

I should also add that Poindexter comes from a family w/a long history of military service and left an executive position w/AT&T to obtain his commission in the Army. After receiving his commission thru OCS, he then had his tour extended in order to be able to go to Vietnam; all at a time when many in this country were demonstrating against the war and sought to avoid military service.

So a Democrat and Obama campaign contributing ranch owner found Scalia dead with a pillow over his head. I still believe Scalia died of natural causes, but the ranch owners' history with Obama will fuel conspiracy theories for decades.

What matters is that Scalia is dead and we have to make sure he is replaced with someone likeminded.

Well Obama wants to put in Al Sharpton’s pick Loretta Lynch.

He had gone to his doctor two days in a row, prior to arriving at the ranch - where he was not feeling well.

I've not seen a legitimate newspaper report that quotes anyone at the ranch saying he was not feeling well, just that he was tired after a long week of travel. The "not feeling well" seems to have been a commenter's extrapolation, which has since been picked up by more commenters and repeated as fact. (That, along with utter speculation that he was diabetic, based only on his weight, and now that's replicating all over the place as fact, too. He may have been diabetic, but that info sure hasn't appeared in any legitimate source that I know of.)

Scalia had gone to bed at 10pm local time, which was 11pm ET, his normal time zone. That's not early. Plus, he'd just returned from a 12 day trip to Asia. It would be completely normal that he'd be tired. Plus, they were all going hunting the next day, so, yeah, makes sense to hit the hay.

Scalia's close friend and co-author, Bryan Garner, went with him on the Asia trip. He said he was "stunned and shocked" at his friends death, noting that Scalia had been "unbelievably energetic" and that his health was "very robust."

As for the reports he'd visited the dr. twice before heading to Texas, newspaper reports about that indicate he'd had an MRI on a shoulder injury. If shoulder injuries are indicative of heart disease, 75% of the NFL and NBA better see a cardiologist, stat.

Does any of this mean that foul play is more likely than a sudden, natural death or that I'm arguing that point? No. It simply means that, as you say, "who knows?" Thanks to bureaucratic incompetence in the hours following Scalia's death, that's pretty much all anyone can say.

If only that would fit into a tag line....

My mother just called me to say how creepy looking the owner was. I went “Ma?” Now, that I have seen the photo I have to call her back and tell she was right....as always.

Good observations, logically and articulately laid out.I’d been trying to put my finger on the unsettled feeling this guy’s narrative triggered in me. Your post did just that.

I note that you made no mention of the whole pillow weirdness. Interesting, because that’s the detail that never really bothered me, though it’s the one thing that has everyone in a frenzy. Not an issue for me. I just figured the guy misspoke, chose the wrong word. IMO, he meant to convey “above” his head. Lots of people sleep in a semi-sitting position with several pillows propping them up. That’s what I figured he was trying to say. And I still do.

But the rest? I’m liking your analysis.

The devil is in the details.
