You can add D.C. Madame Deborah Jeane Palfrey to that long list of marvelously convenient mysterious deaths, ‘accidents’ and ‘suicides’ that have for so long been a fixture of the hijacked by fascists American political system. The dead giveaway on the importance of Palfrey and the threat that she represents is that ordinarily such an incident would be flogged to death 24/7 on the corporate media machine, given the sexual sleaze factor and the celebrity allure. Well, that insipid, blathering Nancy Grace spent about ten or fifteen minutes on it on Thursday and was then on to something involving actor Rob Lowe; I tuned in again last night and she was talking about some kidnapped or murdered pregnant teenager, you know, the same kind of local news that is whipped up and turned into a national crisis.
Palfrey was really big trouble for a lot of folks with serious clout. The cover story of her "suicide" is, in my opinion, just more of the same pablum that is always spoon-fed to the brainwashed masses. I live in the same county where Palfrey’s body was found. After being front page news in the major area newspaper on Friday, the next day’s follow-up story was very small, below the fold in the local and state section. It was not about Palfrey but was dismissive of so-called ‘conspiracy theorists’ who found the ‘suicide’ to be as suspicious as I do. It has not been covered in depth by any of the major websites to my knowledge--you know, the same ones that gave us all of that coverage of the Natalee Holloway disappearance, Anna Nicole Smith’s O.D., the amazing adventures of Laci Peterson and the fetus and the great in-depth coverage of the sex offender or pederast of the week,
All this coverage was in lieu of let's say, the crimes of the Bushreich, the war, real economic news absent the numbers massaging to obfuscate and obscure the real picture and the accompanying dismantling of America by the Wall Street looters as the oligarchy locks in the gains and offshores the rest of the country. In Palfrey's case, EVERY piece that I saw in the MSM accepted and sold at face value that this was a suicide. This, even though the woman's prostitution operation was connected to the Washington corporate establishment at the highest levels, and despite the fact that she had given interviews on radio programs that declared she was NOT going to commit suicide.
The one story that I did see in the Orlando Sentinelhad this little tidbit that wasn’t picked up anywhere else but should have been for a very obvious reason:On Monday, Palfrey arrived at her condominium at ParkLakeTowers, where she often stayed on trips to visit her mother, Strizack said. She had owned the Orlando home since 1996, but it was up for sale.
Palfrey was a pleasant, meticulous person, Strizack recalled. She treasured her privacy so much that she once sued the condominium association because it kept a key to her unit.
She did not draw attention to herself, but when she talked to you, she was clearly well-organized and in control, he said.
On Monday, Palfrey seemed no different. She carried clothing, briefcases and suitcases down the stairs from her second-floor apartment to a rented car in the parking lot, stopping to chat as usual.
She told Strizack she was taking her property to her mother's home in preparation for prison. Contrary to the U.S. Attorney's Office estimate, she told the condo manager she thought she might spend six or seven years behind bars.
On one trip down the stairs, she lugged a 2-foot-wide box she suggested carried materials related to her infamous court case.
"This is my evidence," she told Strizack before carrying it out the door (emphasis mine).
I personally find it suspicious that the Madam was found swinging from a rope shortly after making a comment like that. But Florida being what it is, which is the electile dysfunctional "member" of America, a sweltering cesspool of crime, corruption, black ops and depravity where elections go to be stolen, there is no chance in hell that any legitimate investigational work will be done into Palfrey’s death. Not with Jeb Bush’s people still dug in like ticks in the state bureaucracy and with sitting Governor Charlie Crist rumored to be on the list as John McCain’s running mate.
Regarding the client list, Republican diaper baby David Vitter was the one main name to come out, but dark rumors abounded that heavy hitters like one Richard B. Cheney may have at one time used the service while in the employ of Halliburton. Now, we’ll never know will we?
Palfrey is just the latest but there have been many others. Here are just a few of the others whose deaths were marvelously serendipitous for the prevailing status quo that I personally find to be very interesting:
Danny Casolaro: Was working on a book about a far-reaching global criminal syndicate with roots in the U.S. government that he had called The Octopus that tied together elements of the Reagan-Bush administration, an old boy CIA network, the theft of the legendary PROMIS software, international gangsters, BCCI figures and government contractors. He was found dead in a bathtub with his wrists sliced open in a West Virginia motel after telling friends that he was going to "bring back" the head of the Octopus.
Steve Kangas: Critic of the American extreme right and the Central Intelligence Agency Kangas wrote the marvelous piece The Origins of the Overclassand was rumored to be working on a book on CIA covert operations when he was shot dead in get this – the home of Hillary Rodham-Clinton buddy Richard Mellon Scaife.
Gary Caradori: During the Franklin Coverupinvolving allegations of child prostitution against Republican officials including rising GOP star Lawrence King and leading up to the White House itself investigator Caradori along with his young son perished in yet another of those small plane crashes that seem to occur with great frequency when the occupants are a threat to the establishment

What....nobody else thinks this woman's suicide is a nice thing for the rich and powerful? One after another....those of us who work for the miserable buggers get the axe when we become embarrassing.

The dead giveaway on how explosive that this story is is the absence of the tabloid feeding frenzy like Natalee Holloway. I am telling you, this thing disappeared nearly immediately and the official cover story was accepted at face value by the masses of asses who noticed this blip.
I have a very strong suspicion that this particular prostitution ring may have been that sexual blackmail operation talked about by Sibel Edmonds in those pieces in the London Times where government figures were set up to allow for moles to be smuggled in.
BTW -Another missing story is that guy who just got popped for funnelling nuclear secrets to Israel in the 80's. NOTHING in the mainstream media.
Let's hope that there are some serious investigative bloggers and reporters out there working to keep this story going because this was a hit. They had the cover story out there very quickly through Time Magazine and Dan Moldea both have a history of carrying the water for the oligarchy.
Even as cynical as I am I can't believe that this thing went down the memory hole so quickly.

Like Mr. Encho, I noticed that those foolhardy journalists who tried to dig dirt on the Bush family and the neocons have been dying like flies--suicides, small plane crashes, you name it. By now, their death rate must be akin to the death rate of the witnesses in the JFK's assassination--about 40 times the national average for this age category...
And the msm wrote about Palfrey's death like it was an open and shut case, insisting on the fact she talked about suicide, whiile she said several times that she would never commit suicide, and that some people would try to kill her and make it look like a suicide. These journalists are either totally brainwashed or very scared.
the US government is run by a ruthless mafia and major political decisions affecting our lives are made by pervs who pay thousands of $ for being whipped and diapered by prostitutes. Scary thought.
