and that the accuser died less than a year later?
You can read about it here. The gist of the story is that a woman, who was confirmed as having dated George W. Bush as a minor, came forward in 2003 and filed a lawsuit against Bush. The accusations are far fetched--they include assault, rape, drugging the plaintiff and her husband, surveillance and threats. You can see the entire claim filed as a pdf, here. I'm not assessing validity, I'd just like to bring up a few questions.
1) How is it that the country in general has no idea about this case? It wasn't covered by any major news corps. The most prominent article I could find was the Fort Bend Star, the county newspaper the plaintiff lived in. Maybe she was deranged and making it all up. However, when someone files a lawsuit accusing the president of violent crimes, it seems to me that there would be coverage.
2) Margie Schoedinger died Sept. 22, 2003. The official cause of death is suicide by a gunshot wound to the head. I can't find more than a few paragraphs about the investigation, again from the Fort Bend Star. A woman accused the president of violent crimes and was shot in the head nine months later, and no one knows about this. My brother presented the excellent point that there are a lot of cases that are written off as suicides and not fully investigated; however, they usually do not involve the president.
2a) It said in the article that her purse and other personal affects were found in her car, while she was shot in the master bedroom. Minor detail maybe, but, why would she not have carried her purse into the house?
2b) Women are rather unlikely to choose firearms as their weapon of choice for suicide. It happens, certainly, but it is fairly uncommon.
This isn't the first time that someone has done something in some way threatening to the Bush administration and then died. An article here brings up fourteen people--mostly journalists and scientists--who brought up things like exaggerations of WMDs, election fraud, and Antrax being traced back to Pentagon labs. All of them died, all listed as suicides (like Gary Webb, who allegedly shot himself in the face. Twice.) or accidents (like the microbiologist who was bashed with a baseball bat in a high security lab).
Maybe this is all conspiracy theorist bullshit and coincidences. I'm not an investigator or a report--I don't know for sure what is true and what isn't. However, these are simple facts: Enemies of Bush and his administration have died. Investigations into their deaths have been unusually inconsistent. And the media has for the most part left them completely untouched. There comes a point when we need to start asking ourselves some questions about what's really going on.
