- brjndr, on 05/02/2008, -0/+36Some idiot was trying to keep her from revealing him on her list. Now the police need to go through that list and question every one of them, since they're all suspects.
Unless of course this gets swept under the rug as a suicide.- mrfreeziexp, on 05/02/2008, -1/+24Wasn't Dick Cheney on that list? It'll get swept under the rug, that's for sure.

"She was killed; murdered," Alex Jones said on his radio show, with audio available at Prison Planet. "The disinfo agents are now saying they confirmed that she hung herself...They murdered her. This is how they do it.
"They could cut their heads off on TV and have guys in black uniforms do it and the public would say it was done by the Easter Bunny, if the media told them."
Palfrey repeatedly told The Alex Jones Show in July of 2007 that she had no intention of committing suicide. "No, I'm not planning to commit suicide," She said. "I'm planning on going into court on April 7th, if indeed we do have the trial, and I plan on defending myself vigorously, and I plan on exposing the government...in ways that, you know, I don't think they want me to expose them. I want them to explain to me in open court why they came after me."- OwdenBowden, on 05/02/2008, -0/+3the messed up part here is that she was even allowed to get arrested in the first place. The people on her list are so connected and powerful that it is almost a shock that they didn't stop this prior to it becoming a news circus.
- kneelB4zod, on 05/02/2008, -0/+10I think she also said on the Alex Jones radio show that she definitely not going to commit suicide and she was looking forward to exposing the government in court, however I'm not sure when that statement was made, also she could have made a fortune if she had written a book about her life.

Also she said that she wouldn't kill herself

- brjohnson789, on 05/02/2008, -6/+57They'll rule it suicide by multiple gun shots to the head, while tied up.
I wonder how many big wigs in DC will benefit from her passing...- BitKid, on 05/02/2008, -11/+1Where does it say anything about gunshots?
- KillerStone, on 05/02/2008, -7/+2Your a fool. The article states she died because she hanged herself. In the title. Did you even read the article?
- laserblazer, on 05/02/2008, -0/+5He was speaking in a dark sarcastic voice and using hyperbole to accent the suspicious nature of the crime.
- brjohnson789, on 05/02/2008, -0/+2When I wrote the comment the article in CNN was very short and did not mention the hanging. AND after reading more about I am convinced she was killed. She wrote 2 suicide notes which is weird; her mother said she was not acting different at all; this Moldea guy who claims she told him she'd never go to jail is a proven liar and has made up quotes before; and there is a recorded radio interview of her where she explicity states she would never kill herself.

- Claude1971, on 05/02/2008, -3/+6Bush couldn't find his dick with both hands and a flash light, so he probably didn't have anything to do with her

- VitriolAndAngst, on 05/02/2008, -1/+3It should really worry you when people in power don't care that you believe a story or not. That means they think they are untouchable. The justice department and media going along with the bald faced lie, means that they are.

- HighlandsRoar, on 05/02/2008, -5/+64This is highly suspicious, especially considering that Cheney was on the 'DC Madam's' infamous list. I wonder if they'll try to rule it a suicide even if there's multiple blows/gunshots to the head.
- masterm1nd, on 05/02/2008, -12/+1You obviously don't get the concept of "silencing" someone. It's one thing to imply Cheney killed her to keep her quiet, it's another thing to imply he revenge killed her despite doing nothing to him other than allegedly providing a service. Both are pretty stupid and baseless, really.
- Claude1971, on 05/02/2008, -3/+4read the ***** story. She hung herself. And Cheney would shoot her in the ass, remember his hunting buddy?
- 11oops, on 05/02/2008, -1/+3He shot his hunting buddy in the face.
- Abomonog, on 05/02/2008, -1/+9For some of these self righteous assholes the list is reason enough to have her killed. Cheney has participated in the murders of over 4000 Americans already, and for personal gain. If you think one high dollar call girls death is going to add to his conscience then think again.
- masterm1nd, on 05/02/2008, -2/+1It's all fun and games until he actually reads your accusations.
The bottom line is he has no motive, which is a key element to accusing someone of murder. There is no motive in silencing her if the cat's already out of the bag. And there is no revenge motive (at the moment anyways) , because we don't know that she's done anything to him or even knows him. Although I think you're just trying to say ***** Cheney , not get to the bottom of this...

- paradexes, on 05/02/2008, -0/+2Just as an FYI you were one of the gullible people who don't fact check. Take a look at my profile and one I posted about Dick Cheney on the madams list, read the digg comments carefully. After it the article reached 3000 diggs, I mentioned it was a social experiement to expose how easy people are to manipulate into believeing based on a title. I am betting if 50 percent of the people had actually read the blog, that it was total BS. Again fact check. It really will help to know the source of a rumor, so that it can be put to the test. I can honestly say that 90 percent of digg users proved how easy it is to be manipulated and whipped up into a frenzy by false news stories.
- paradexes, on 05/02/2008, -0/+2That said, it is entirely possible he was really on the list. However since that was never proven, it cant be known for sure.

By the way, I really give no credibility to this whole conspiracy *****. She tried to sell her phone records for a windfall and they apparently didn't contain anything worth paying for, and she later released them for free....no ooo's and aaaah's were muttered.

Why the shed instead of the house? Seems like someone needed easy access to her. Secondly, if she was seriously planning her suicide, I would think she would go out of her way so that no one would find her if she were truly hopeless and helpless (note: not always the case). It was too easy to find her.
If the letter is detailed and explains her previous statements that she "would never commit suicide" then you KNOW something is up!

- AustinMandi, on 05/02/2008, -3/+60DC Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey predicted she would be "suicided" on several occasions both recently and as far back as 17 years ago - comments that now appear ominous in light of the announcement that the former head of a Washington escort service allegedly killed herself today.
"If taken into custody, my physical safety and most probably my very life would be jeopardized," she wrote in August 1991 following an attempt to bring her to trial, "Rape, beating, maiming, disfigurement and more than likely murder disguised in the form of just another jailhouse accident or suicide would await me," said Palfrey in a handwritten letter to the judge accusing the San Diego police vice squad of having a vendetta against her.
During several recent appearances on The Alex Jones Show, Palfrey also said that she was at risk of being killed and that authorities would make it look like suicide. She made it clear that she was not suicidal and if she was found dead it would be murder.
"No I'm not planning to commit suicide," Palfrey told The Alex Jones Show on her last appearance, "I'm planning on going into court and defending myself vigorously and exposing the government," she said.

I'm astounded at the mental juggling it takes to keep your head up your own rear like that.
A suicidal person, usually talks about how life is unbearable, or threatens to commit suicide. They don't go on about how people are trying to off them an make it look like a suicide. Apparently, every motive for murder must escape you.
DC Madam with thousands of politicos in black book mentions that she will get killed and they will make it look like an accident.

- masterm1nd, on 05/02/2008, -1/+1Dudes, she just got sentenced to prison. Who don't you go find me statistics of people who off themselves before being sent to prison, and people who were "silenced" despite the judge silencing them a week prior by sealing the book of names. One happens a lot and one just plain doesn't happen. I'm not saying it's not a murder, but right now you don't have a shred of evidence to say it is. What is so wrong about asking that you educate yourself before drawing conclusions.
- Corrosionx, on 05/03/2008, -0/+2Because the information she had in her hands had the potential to destroy man powerful men's careers. She knew she would get "suicided" eventually.
- masterm1nd, on 05/03/2008, -1/+1But the court already sealed the book of names 2 weeks ago...
- Corrosionx, on 05/03/2008, -1/+2I think she had already uploaded the list to several P2P networks. The point is, she knew too much.

- masterm1nd, on 05/02/2008, -18/+1Do you think people who commit suicide know they're suicidal years before they do it? Most likely their life changed and so did their thoughts on suicide.
- onetimer, on 05/02/2008, -24/+7Digg is so hypocritical. Any story regarding the US administration making a claim, and they demand that they provide evidence. Yet now people here are quick to call it an "assassination" despite no evidence yet pointing to such a scenario whatsoever.

- Abomonog, on 05/02/2008, -0/+6Though no one can be certain, the facts listed in the article alone are enough for any reasoning person to instantly suspect suicide. The timing (just after a major trial involving government figures), the manner of death (hanging: females almost never choose suicide methods that leave massive bruises or mutilates them), the location (Tarpon Springs, Fl., A state run by the Bush family in the very city where the politicians like to stay). To say the death is suspicious is an understatement.

Only a total idiot would believe that she committed suicide - she "hung herself" just like Brandy Britton - nothing to see here, move along.

- masterm1nd, on 05/02/2008, -14/+1This does look like a conspiracy, but suicide is a leading cause of death and we have no evidence to suggest otherwise. Anyone who says it is or isn't a suicide at this point is a dumbass.
- fromonesource, on 05/02/2008, -2/+5Such as the woman herself who vowed that she would never kill herself over these matters? This was a sloppy hit job no matter how you look at it. She knew she was being threatened and she made it known that if she were to die it would not be at her own hands.
- Tweekster, on 05/02/2008, -2/+0Then she vowed to kill herself when reality set in
- masterm1nd, on 05/02/2008, -1/+2No it wasn't. What is the motive to kill her when the judge sealed the book of names a week prior? Doesn't make sense. I'll tell you what could make sense, killing yourself before going to prison for a long time. Why prove you're an idiot and rule it murder before you have any evidence to say it is?
- Caffeinate, on 05/04/2008, -0/+1The fact that she angered some powerful people and had threatened to break the gag order was just a coincidence. No sense in looking any further into it.

- pilgrim3970, on 05/02/2008, -1/+9Let's assume for a moment that it WAS suicide. What does it then say about the American public's opinion of thier government when news like this comes out and the first thing that is assumed is that she was murdered by some government official with an axe to grind?
Sad indeed.- saigumi, on 05/02/2008, -1/+3Not taking everything at face value is an admirable quality, it is a step above being a sheep. However, I also agree that there is a maximum bounds of scepticism that one should have.
- neozeed, on 05/02/2008, -0/+8Let's see in the last 7 years we've had two clearly stolen federal elections, two illegal wars, we now torture people as a matter of fact, the police have quadroupled in size, the economy is in a recession, headed for depression, Exxon/Haliburton & Cheney have fled to Dubai, and Bush is being blackmailed for all of his gay prostitutes in the white house (Jeff Gannon et al).
Yeah we've been given a complete bill of goods, and the one thing you can never trust iis an official explination. - Tweekster, on 05/02/2008, -2/+1The first thing I thought of was that they found a ho in the shed...
- VitriolAndAngst, on 05/02/2008, -0/+2I never thought for a Microsecond I it WAS a suicide -- maybe I'm totally wrong, but to me, the Government has to prove itself innocent these days- -that's how much my "reading between the lines" has changed. I read the news based upon What happened to whom. My brain filters out the explanation -- it is useless information. My first thought reading the details is; "who does this help?"
The thing that should REALLY worry you, is that in a Fascist Dictatorship, the Government and its officials tell you stuff that you don't believe all the time. They just bald face lie to you, and the media repeats it without question. It shows that you have power and do not fear the judicial system. When the government can lie to you, without worrying about making it plausible -- that means they can do whatever they want to you, and the media and the judicial system will support their "reason."
We just say an assassination of a political opponent in Pakistan -- how did their media and our media report it? You can believe your own lying eyes and see someone getting murdered, or you can get promoted in the power structure by repeating the lie. The FACT that the media, would repeat this information and not question it -- tells you something far more important than the details of what happened. - wishninja, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1It would be a great nation if we could actually believe them. I imagine many nationalistic flag waiving individuals that still have bush cheny/04' stickers on their car believe this.
- Technoidatx, on 05/02/2008, -1/+13In an interview just 2 weeks ago. Deborah Jeane Palfrey stated that she would not commit suicide.
- claco, on 05/02/2008, -1/+15Here's the thing. The DC Madam, hung herself. Women don't hang themselves. Men do. Women take pills.
Now, if you think that is odd, one of the girls who worked for her, ALSO committed suicide (Brandy Britton) before testifying. Also hung herself.- Tweekster, on 05/02/2008, -2/+0Well that is a blanket statement if I ever heard one
- JBURNES, on 05/02/2008, -0/+3Claco: very interesting, never thought of that, good point, Hanging yourself is very barbaric
- laserblazer, on 05/02/2008, -1/+1Not if done right. One snap of the third cervical vertebra and it's off to one's reward.
- Waiting2awake, on 05/02/2008, -1/+4I was just speaking to a cop friend of mine about it and he agreed that "generally" in suicides Women will take pills, whereas men hang or shoot themselves.
- VitriolAndAngst, on 05/02/2008, -1/+4We all expected this. It was only a matter of time after she got out of the news spotlight before she was going to be offed.
We really need to get to all those names on that list and treat this as a murder investigation. But that ain't going to happen. - laserblazer, on 05/02/2008, -1/+1I agree with your post - good show. To correct one bit, when a person commits suicide with a rope in the traditional fashion, it is said that one was hanged, not hung.
- Huckleberry, on 05/02/2008, -0/+12conspiracy or not, this should make people rethink the prostitution argument.
The people she provided service to had essentially nothing happen to them, of the few that were originally named only one stepped down from congress and one is still serving, while she faced 50 years in prison, if that is not injustice I do not know what is.
Really she was just providing a service... what is wrong with that? If you are going to condemn her then the men she provided the service to should be condemn as well.- darkamster07, on 05/02/2008, -0/+3seriously 50 years for providing a service that should be legal is rediculus, I mean, who did she hurt?
- laserblazer, on 05/02/2008, -1/+2Just so - a victimless crime is not a crime. Criminalizing prostitution is one of the signs of Big Government in full-on predator mode.
- elcow, on 05/02/2008, -0/+2"She was found guilty of money laundering, racketeering and mail fraud and faced a maximum 55-year prison term at her sentencing, scheduled for July 24."
Did you read the article? She was found guilty of much more than prostitution.
- VitriolAndAngst, on 05/02/2008, -1/+3She was only caught in the first place because she stepped out of line.
She is dead now, because she talked.
This isn't about what is fair or JUSTICE, this is about the elite getting their way and their services, and criminal prosecutions are used to keep the rest of the rabble in line. People like Larry Craig get to do what they want to whomever the want, as long as they don't anger the elite or rat anyone out in the club. You should notice that Larry Craig wasn't caught with a "wide stance" until after he became critical of BushCo.

- indypunx, on 05/02/2008, -1/+8The best part about this is despite her saying several times that she feared for her life and that if she ended up "committing suicide" to be suspicious, IMMEDIATELY after she died a guy called the media and said that she had told him that she would rather die than go back to prison. Interesting, that he says this immediately after in contradiction to what she has been saying for a long time. I REALLY hope this gets more play and someone gets to the bottom of it.

The records were already available and they were quite uninteresting.- AndreRollins, on 05/02/2008, -0/+3Not all client names were released, just some. I'm sure some of the others did not want their name out there associated with her.

- 56kCowboy, on 05/02/2008, -1/+3I think this is ANOTHER perfect example of the MSM lying to us every damn day. I'm getting so sick of this crap. If the ***** ever hits the fan in this country, these lying hack journalists should be put in prison along with the rest of the corrupt and evil government. It's pretty sad that I have to listen to a seriously pissed off guy in Texas to get the truth about what is happening to our nation.
