Accused DC Madam Commited Suicide *merged threads*

[Pocono Sleuther]

Suicide huh. I doubt it.

THANK YOU!! I was thinking the exact same thing the minute I heard it on Fox this morning. This was not suicide. No way!
:furious:

I do not for one small second believe this women killed herself.

I'm with you. I don't believe she killed herself either. I hope there is lots of digging around as to exactly who her clients were. I'd venture to guess there are lots of "high ups" on that list.

 

[Pocono Sleuther]

Wouldn't it be interesting if VERY VERY high ranking government officials were linked to her. Honestly, would you feel safe if you had such info?

Cripes. I was doing some searching about how women commit suicide. Then, I thought about it. What if someone saw my searches on the computer? This could be an interesting "take" if something happened to me.

Oh, are you kidding?!! I am willing to put serious money on the fact that she provided 'services' to VERY VERY VERY high ranking officials. I'd even bet the highest levels. KWIM? This is nothing new in DC and certainly nothing new in the White House. The list should be made public. And someone independent should investigate these 'suicides'. Of course that person would more than likely be snuffed too. I believe things like this happen more than we could ever imagine at our gov'ts hands. Call me nuts, but I really believe that. Also, a prev poster made the point of woman not usually hanging themselves. That was my first thought. Why not pills? But hanging, nope.

Asked if he believed Palfrey was murdered, Flynt responded: "I personally believe that's what happened, but I have no proof."

I agree with Flynt....I think I need to shower now

 

[Trino]

I completely agree with everything you've said, Pocono. I predict we will never know the truth if it wasn't suicide. Professional killers aren't called that for nothing.

No, they sure aren't. And I'll bet the list has been sanitized by now anyway. And if not, once it's made public it will be. Or else it will have those lovely black outs all over it. I don't agree with what she did to make a living, but it infuriates me how our gov't sanctions murder. Total hypocrisy. One day this will blow up in their face. And gosh do I hope I'm alive to see all of it go down.

One of the escort service employees was former University of Maryland, Baltimore County, professor Brandy Britton, who was arrested on prostitution charges in 2006. She committed suicide in January before she was scheduled to go to trial.

Last year, Palfrey said she, too, was humiliated by her prostitution charges, but said: "I guess I'm made of something that Brandy Britton wasn't made of." source


Brandy Britton also commiteed suicide by hanging. source

Oh-yeah, no message here....if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, by all means let's call it suicide.... (cough Vince Foster, cough, cough...)

She probably wouldn't have gone away for more than 6 years, according to the prosecutors.

Prosecutors estimated that she would have received a sentence between 57 and 71 months, about six years, because of sentencing guidelines and other factors that would have been taken into account.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/01/dc.madam/index.html?eref=rss_topstories

I can't see her killing herself over 6 years.

Thank you for correcting my MAJOR error! LOL - I thought that sounded really excessive! With that in mind, I am now more inclined to believe it wasn't suicide.

That is exaclty the first thought that jumped into my head.

 

[Jolynna]

If she thought murder was a possibility, I hope there are copies of the list in the hands of trusted friends.

I am VERY tired of madams taking all the heat and the johns getting to go on with their lives as usual.

 

[southcitymom]

The truth really is stranger than fiction. This would be a great book. But it is reality and my prayers go out to the loved ones she left behind.

My opinion is that this was a suicide. I have never had a suicidal thought in my life, but I don't have any moral issues with taking my own life and would do it in a heartbeat if I felt like it was the right course for me. So that influences my thoughts on the case. If I was in my 50s and had lived what I considered to be a rich full life and someone wanted to put me in jail for God knows how long, I know I would seriously consider suicide as a way to say "* you and your ridiculous laws - I decide what to do with my life - not you." In fact, one of my suicide notes would say that.

For some reason, I think that's what happened here.

Here is what Paul Watson has just written re: her so-called 'murder.'

I'll provide the link, with a snip to follow:

LINK: http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/may2008/050208_tape_ignored.htm
SNIP:

..."Within hours of the announcement that DC Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey had allegedly hanged herself at her mother's home in Florida, Time Magazine released an interview with her "friend," a professional conspiracy debunker and an individual who has fabricated quotes in the past, who claimed Palfrey had told him of her wish to end her life."

"The fact that the corporate media immediately accepted Moldea's claim at face value and featured it front and center within hours of the announcement of Palfrey's death, while completely ignoring her recorded intention never to commit suicide, smacks of a contrived ploy and underscores just how easy it would be to make murder look like suicide with the aid of a graciously compliant mass media to endlessly parrot the official story while blackballing clear evidence to the contrary."

"As Kurt Nimmo writes, "It is, for the corporate media, a tidy way to close the case and not breach a larger and more far more portentous issue — Deborah Jeane Palfrey, who threatened to release the names of well-known clients of her call girl business in Washington, had made an unknown number of powerful enemies that wanted her dead. She had indicated Dick Cheney may have been one of her customers."

"What really happened to Deborah Jeane Palfrey will ultimately emerge and the reasons behind her death will unravel, but don't count on reading it in the New York Times or seeing it reported on CNN."

"The alternative media will once again be forced step up to the plate and perform an activity that has been anathema to the corporate press for decades - real investigative journalism and an agenda geared towards finding out - not covering-up - the truth."

Here is some more info. re: Palfrey's so-called suicide and what was most likely behind the DC Madam case:

Here are some snips:

WAYNE MADSEN REPORT MAY 2007 - "The corporate media still does not get it about the so-called "Washington Madam" case. Beyond just another titillating DC sex scandal, this affair involves the U.S. Attorneys firings, massive bribery involving military and homeland security contracts, and potential blackmail of high government officials. WMR can report that Disney and ABC executives spiked the Washington Madam story at the very last . . . The decision by Disney and ABC to kill the 20/20 story resulted in a shocked news staff at ABC News' DeSales Street bureau across the street from the Mayflower Hotel, one of the rendezvous points for some Pamela Martin clients. Our sources stated that Ross, Schwartz, Rood, and others at ABC tried their best to get the story out but were overruled by senior executives at ABC in New York and Disney headquarters in Burbank, California who, in turn, were under heavy pressure from the Bush White House."

"The Washington Madam case also involves criminal conspiracy and malfeasance within the Justice Department, Internal Revenue Service, and Postal Inspection Service. Palfrey's case file was not opened until June 2004 after she had been in business for over a decade without any pressure from the government. After Baltimore Police Commissioner and later Maryland State Police Superintendent Ed Norris was charged in May 2004 with three criminal counts by US Attorney Thomas DiBiagio, the IRS opened a file on Palfrey the following month. It is clear that with Norris, a 20 year veteran of the New York Police Department, facing up to 30 years in prison, he entered into a plea bargain with DiBiagio. In return for his cooperation, which included Norris naming Pamela Martin as one of the recipients of Baltimore Police supplemental accounts money, he got six months in prison and six months home detention. Norris now hosts a radio show in Baltimore."

Here's the website link to the above: http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cach...ed-prostitution.html+Wayne+Madsen+re:+murder+


NOTE On Madsen: FROM WIKIPEDIA: "Madsen was a Senior Fellow of the Electronic Privacy Information Center. He was a communications security analyst with the National Security Agency in the 1980s, and an intelligence officer in the US Navy. He has testified on numerous occasions before the US Congress."

Here's one more snip from the above link I've just provided. And for the record, while I don't for one moment condone any of the Madam's activities, why is it that the Madams are prosecuted and the higher ups in the so-called esteemed D.C. political circles remain 'untouchables?' Dumb question...I already know the answer...and it makes me absolutely furious. :furious:

Anyway, here's the snip:

DC CITY DESK, MAY 2007 - "The judge in the Jeanne Palfrey case has issued a temporary restraining order on Palfrey and her civil attorney to keep them from releasing more information about her clients to the news media. This strengthens suspicions that the judge and ABC News - which was given Palfrey's records - may be trying to suppress some of these names, especially since one the names being circulated around town is an extremely high White House official. Basically, the problem is this: if Jean Palfrey committed a crime so did all her clients and they are not entitled to the protection they are being given. In the best of worlds, prostitution would not be a crime but under the circumstances there is only one honest choice in this matter: either drop the case or open the files. Otherwise it is fair to wonder whether there is a cover-up going on of criminal activity by prominent Washingtonians."

NEWS 8, DC, MAY 2007 - "A lawyer for alleged Washington madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey wants ABC News to disclose the identity of a federal prosecutor identified in a recent news report as a client of Palfrey's escort service. In a letter to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, Palfrey's civil lawyer, Montgomery Blair Sibley, contends that the Justice Department should compel ABC to disclose the prosecutor's identity and whether he had any role in the Palfrey investigation. . ."

 

[Kim Ii]

After reading my links posted above (especially those re: articles written by Madsen), is anyone really doubting the fact that this poor woman was suicided?

I hope the real facts re: the D.C. Madam case come out eventually...in other words...the Truth.

But as I said, politics is one dirty business. Palfrey was playing with fire -- she knew it -- and she paid the ultimate price.

THANK YOU!! I was thinking the exact same thing the minute I heard it on Fox this morning. This was not suicide. No way!
