The Clinton Body Count, as it is popularly known, is a conspiracy theory that Bill Clinton, while he was president and before, was quietly assassinating his associates (ostensibly anyone who got in the way of his career, such as Vince Foster) was started in retaliation the the Bush Body Count (which ostensibly had various members of the Bush family responsible for events like JFK assassination and the October surprise merrily killing lesser co-conspirators on their way).[12] The Clinton Body Count is a list of about 50-60 associates of Clinton who have died “under mysterious circumstance”.[13] The list began circulating over the Internet starting in the mid-1990s. [14][15] The list grew out of a 1993 list of about 24 names prepared by the pro-gun lobby group American Justice Federation[16] which was led by Linda Thompson. The list was posted to the group’s Bulletin board system.[17] Snopes.com has debunked this list, noting 1) many of those claimed to be assassinated actually died from very well documented accidents that leave no possibility of assassination 2) a political figure who becomes President of the United States will have a loosely defined circle of “associates”, and many of these associates are in dangerous positions (police officers, pilots, soldiers) or older men in high stress jobs (therefore at greater risk of dying of stress related disease or suicide).
