The Convenient "Suicide" Of The DC Madam

I don't like to speculate - but the reported suicide of Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the "DC Madam," is difficult for me to fathom. The suspicion I hold that the "suicide" of this 52 year old seemingly vibrant woman, who could reveal the identities of the powerful Washingtonians who used her "escort" services, may not have been a suicide at all, causes me sadness - over the tragic death of Palfrey herself, and over my distrust of the powerful who have proven time and again that they will do anything to protect their fortunes and their "good" names.

According to the HuffingtonPost, (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/05/01/dc-madam-dead-in-apparent_n_996...), Palfrey had spoken out on suicide in the past when she reflected on the death of one of her former escorts, University of Maryland Professor, Brandy Britton. Palfrey said of Britton's suicide:

"This is a woman who was divorced, who was trying to raise two, ah, high-school children, college-age children... [Britton had] the great job title, the great position, all the respect in the world, but she wasn't making enough money. So she decided to do a little moonlighting... And she was publicly outed, is a good way to put it, she was absolutely humiliated. Ah, she couldn't take the humiliation. Her whole life was destroyed. And she, she just, ah, ultimately committed suicide."

From the tone of Palfrey's words, she seemed to view Britton's suicide as an unfortunate and tragic response to personal degradation and humiliation. Palfrey, herself, was feisty and outspoken in her defense of her escort service - claiming the services rendered were adult fantasies and within the realm of legality. She also believed the purchasers of the services should be subjected to public scrutiny and bear culpability if there was culpability to bear. Palfrey wanted to make public the names of her clients, which she claimed were listed in her "black book."

Earlier today I spoke with Arizona-based progressive radio host, Meria Heller (meria.net), who interviewed Palfrey prior to Palfrey's recent prostitution ring conviction. Heller said that Palfrey had been "vibrant and filled with future plans." Heller finds it inconceivable that Palfrey would have taken her own life.

The Florida police and Palfrey's mother have confirmed Palfrey's death. According to Florida police officer, Captain Jeffrey Young, Palfrey was found hanging from a nylon rope in a storage shed close to the home of her 76 year old mother, Blanche Palfrey, who discovered her daughter's body.

Obviously, without concrete evidence to support foul play, all I have is suspicion. To ascertain the truth, it is my sincere hope that the public - particularly the blogger community - will hold the authorities accountable for a thorough, open and honest investigation of this bizarre and tragic occurrence. In this highly political year, egregious acts are possible - if not probable - particularly when the futures and fortunes of the powerful are on the line.

Palfrey was "Whacked"

An Alex Jones interview with Deborah Palfrey as late as March of this year confirms she had no intentions of committing suicide. Dan Moldea who provided information about her talk of suicide, is also famous for manufacturing a phoney confession from Sirhan Sirhan about wanting to shoot Bobby Kennedy between the eyes but had to settle for a shot to the back of the head. Well, that has recently been proven to be complete B.S.. The fatal shot was fired about 3 inches from the back of his head and the round has been proven to have been fired by his private security guard. Rosie Greer had Sirhan tackled more that 6 feet in front of Kennedy. He never got closer than that.

The clip of Palfrey clearly refutes Moldea’s statements, and has already been cited on Fox news (strangely). Geraldo Rivera is even hinting that it was more likely murder than suicide.

I’m continuously disappointed by the corporate media propaganda machine. They’ve done a superb job not talking about high crimes and treason by the Bush Crime Family, the outcry for Impeachment, nor the obvious links between 9-11 and this rogue criminal government. Now Palrey's "suicide" conveniently disposes of yet another important trail of evidence.
