Theyre gonna make it look like suicide, Hunter Thompson told his friend at the Toronto Globe. I know how these bastards think.
A common misconception some are led to believe is that the mainstream press has a liberal bias.
Those ascribing to the liberal bias myth believe the press will take any attempt to tarnish the President and other right-wingers credibility and reputations.
If this were so, surely they wouldve picked up on the suspicious suicides of people pointing fingers at our government leaders Hunter S. Thompson, Gary Webb, Terrance Yeakey and Margie Schoedinger.
Ironically, all four lives ended before evidence could be presented calling out the political heads involved in corruption and scandals.
The night before Thompsons death, he told his friend at the Toronto Globe he had been working on a book regarding the Sept. 11 attacks being a controlled demolition strategically placed explosives.
He claimed hard evidence gathered proves the buildings were not brought down by planes and was afraid he might be suicided.
In our own state, former Oklahoma City Police Officer Terrance Yeakey was one of the first responders to the Murrah Building bombing on April 19, 1995.
He was working on presenting evidence to the public about the bombing being a government cover-up, but he was found dead in a field in El Reno.
The report claimed he slit both his wrist, stabbed himself in both sides of the jugular, then walked from his car a mile and a half and shot himself.
The bullet entered the upper temple on the right side and exited below the upper jaw bone on the left side, meaning the gun would have been pointed in a downward angle - a most unlikely way for a person bent on suicide to hold a gun, according to the Spotlight, an Internet news source.
One witness said the inside of Yeakeys car looked like someone had slaughtered a pig.
Gary Webb, who died last December, was working on a book about the government cover-up of CIA drug smuggling in the 1980s. His findings will be highlighted in the film American Drug War by Alex Jones.
The clip he will use is from a special by MSNBC on the drug-smuggling featuring Webb. Following Webbs mysterious death, no follow-up story has been made by MSNBC.
The only hole in the story noticeable on the surface was how Webb managed to shoot himself in the head twice.
Like Thompson and Yeakey, Webbs friends and family saw no indication he was a man about to end his own life. In addition, none of them left suicide notes. In fact, Thompson, Yeakey and Webb were working on something monumental.
The most interesting death thus far is the alleged suicide Margie Shoedinger, the only woman who has accused President Bush of sexual assault.
After Shoedinger died on Sept. 22, 2003, the only news organizations to run this story were the one in her local town and the New Nation in London, a very small circulated paper. The story has gone virtually unnoticed, completely blacked out from the public eye.
One would assume if the media in this country hates Bush and Republicans so much, they would run more stories like these. But that is the lie being spread on television and radio that a liberal media bias truly exists.
Isnt it strange those deeply involved in the mainstream press, like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, are saying there is a liberal bias?
Most importantly, we should be asking ourselves who controls the mainstream news and what exactly constitutes news worthy. Last week the news organizations couldnt stop talking about Martha Stewart and Michael Jackson.
Who cares?

Yeah, yeah,... tell it to Vince Foster....
LOL - too funny
Boy those vast right wing conspiracists sure are a powerful bunch! What with them employing Hunter's son and wife in the plot!
Yeah, MoDo and Morford are next....
Oh Brother. Let me guess? He would have alleged the plot was conceived by either the Illuminati, the CFR, or by the Elders of Zion, and that Bush had a direct hand. Sounds like ol' Hunter did the right thing after all.
but you are forgetting that Hunter was about to break open a big story that was going to topple the BFEE (BushFamilyEvilEmpire) and lead to the impeachment of GW Bush*
Arghh!!! I read this before putting on my tinfoil hat and now I don't feel so good in my head anymore. :-)
Let me apologize on behalf of the State of Oklahoma. Most people in OK do not believe this kind of stuff....but our 2 major universities have some left-wingers...like most do...that spout this stuff... Once the kids grow up they usually become conservative like their parents.
WOW what an A-hole this Brent guy is....and from OK no less.
Jeeze!
Yeah, sure, HST was "suicided" in a house filled with relatives and while on the phone with his wife, who could hear the shot.
It's completely stunning that, rather than recognize the reality that the President's War on Terror is succeeding, the Left prefers to run to the "refuge" of wacko conspiracy theories. They're almost gleefully marginalizing themselves.
Considering how those two are trembling their lids, that could happen.
Duke is dead.....long live the Duke
Alex Jones -- now there's a credible source for you.
I was just thinking the same thing!
I thought Hunter Thompson's wife said he had been discussing suicide and they had been arguing over it. These people need to loosen that tin foil a little. Not enough oxygen getting to the head.

Here is a little bit about Mrs. Shoedinger.
