‘Death by barbell’ sparks questions about Hillary ‘silencing people’

WND: A former United Nations official, John Ashe, has been found dead in his New York home and commentators are erupting with speculation about whether this would be a case of “Hillary Clinton silencing people who ‘know too much.’”

That question was pointedly raised by Kosar at the Political Insider on word of the death of Ashe, who was found at his Dobbs Ferry, New York, home last week.

His cause of death was reported as a heart attack, but the New York Post said the “local Dobbs Ferry police said … that his throat had been crushed, presumably by a barbell he dropped while pumping iron.”

“The death by barbell of disgraced U.N. official John Ashe could become a bigger obsession for conspiracy theorists than Vince Foster’s 1993 suicide,” the report by Richard Johnson said.

It’s because Ashe was scheduled to testify in just days with Chinese businessman, and co-defendant, Ng Lap Seng, who was accused of smuggling $4.5 million into the U.S. and lying that it was to buy casino chips and more.

The New York Post said Ng earlier was identified in a 1998 Senate document “as the source of hundreds of thousands of dollars illegally funneled through an Arkansas restaurant owner, Charlie Trie, to the Democratic National Committee during the Clinton administration.”

“One source told me,” Johnson wrote, “‘During the trial, the prosecutors would have linked Ashe to the Clinton bagman Ng. It would have been very embarrassing. His death was conveniently timed.”

“Could this be Hillary Clinton silencing people who ‘know too much?’” questioned Kosar in The Political Insider. “We know there are at least 46 people from Clinton world who have died under mysterious circumstances. While some are certainly a coincidence, it is very clear that being deeply connected into the Clinton political world can be hazardous to your health.

“In this case, no definite evidence exists that it was murder and Ashe’s own lawyer disagrees with the theory. However, with Hillary Clinton’s track record, it’s definitely worth further investigation.”

The Post said Ashe formerly was the head of the U.N. General Assembly and was facing criminal charges in a federal bribery case.

He was from the Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda, and was accused of taking kickbacks in exchange for promises for real-estate deals and more, the report said.

The Political Insider previously had reported on the mysterious deaths with which the friends of the Clintons have been plagued.

“In fact, 46 people who were close to the Clintons have died during their 3 decades of political power. That number should give us all pause. If Hillary Clinton was a Republican, that number would be the question asked by reporters every day,” the earlier report said.

Commenters at the Insider, did, in fact, submit lists of 46 names of the “many ‘friends’ of the Clintons.”

Those included James McDougal, the “Clintons convicted Whitewater partner [who] died of an apparent heart attack while in solitary confinement. He was a key witness in Ken Starr’s investigation.”

There also was Ron Brown, dead after a place crash. The report said, “A pathologist close to the investigation reported that there was a hole in the top of Brown’s skull resembling a gunshot wound.” It said he was being investigated at the time of his death and “spoke publicly of his willingness to cut a deal with prosecutors.”

Also on the list: Ed Willey…more
