This is part 3 of the Seth Rich murder story. Between the last essay and this have come a verbal-pictorial avalanche of new information. It's a good thing I delayed in writing this, because many new facts have arisen and along with them, many new questions and possibilities. From what I know right now, there will have to be at least one more essay of Seth Rich before moving on to the Awan Spyring story, which is epic in its own right.

There are so many Youtube videos cited that, while linked, will be supplemented by many pictures; so you might call this the Golden Book of Seth Rich's life and death.

Seth's early life

Seth was born in Omaha and educated there. I was able to obtain some limited facts about his high school life from a video containing yearbook pictures and Israeli military experience. This video also contains a valuable walk-through tour of the Bloomingdale Washington DC neighborhood in which Seth Rich was shot. We will need to revisit the walk-through later to better understand the geography.

Another video concerns Seth Rich asking questions at a 2015 Federal Election Commission meeting about ballot integrity. This video is of interest just because we see and hear him live. The information he attempted to elicit, with some success, is about why ballots are marked as provisional.

Milieu of the DNC-associated deaths

To understand any issue or event, we must place them in context. We all know by now that the DNC illegally rigged the primary election for the Evil Queen. From shortly before the Seth Rich affair, and continuing there were a number of suspicious deaths. The poisoning of Shawn Lucas was discussed in part 2. Another video (7:30) has emerged relating to interconnectedness of the Lucas assassination and Seth Rich. Some interesting question are posed.

But Lucas and Rich were not the only suspicious deaths (5:28)

For those unaware of the characters, here is a description:
1. Seth Rich, alleged and probable DNC leaker
2. Gavin Mcfayden, close friend of Julian Assange and co-founder of Wikileaks
3. John Jones, Wikileaks collaborator and transit person for leaked data
4. Michael Ratner, Assange's lawyer, good friend and house counsel to Wikileaks
5. Victor Thorn, RWNJ
6. John Ashe, high U.N. official, accused of bribery
7. Rafael Aguilar, no information

Podesta and Clinton ties to Seth Rich murder (5:19)

Setting the scene of the shooting ((7:02). Tie-ins with the last hours include a White House visit by Joseph P. Capone, manager of Lou's City Bar. Photo metadata from a tweet by Joseph P. Capone shows he shot a picture at the WH, on the day of one of his visits.

ALL accounts agree on two things:

1. Seth Rich spent several hours at Lou's City bar before leaving. From there there are several incompatible descriptions
a) Rich walked home
b) Rich took a cab
c) Rich declined cab ride
d) Rich went to Wonderland Ballroom, another local bar.

2. Rich was found wounded on the ground at the intersection of W and Flagler, kitty-corner from the Flagler Market. But again, there are several conflicting stories. The most likely one is that SR was found in situ at the discovery of his body. This is 99.99% believable because of other evidence. Another version with 0.01% possibility is that the body was moved from another location, an assertion which makes absolutely no sense, whether robbery or assassination occurred.

The manager of Lou's City Bar, Joseph P. Capone, was apparently interviewed not by the MPD (Metropolitan Police Department) but was interviewed by George Webb. Webb asserts the Capone told him that he (Capone) was not to give interviews (8:29). Other parts of the video include the assertion of that SR went to the Wonderland Ballroom, a short distance away (see map). The video also discusses locations of CCTVs (video cameras) along the routes.

Map from Lou's City Bar to Wonderland Ballroom

None of the staff or patrons of the Wonderland Ballroom recalled seeing SR there on the night of the shooting.

Map of general vicinity of the shooting:

The following map details some of the landmarks in the immediate vicinity.

In Washington DC, there are "shot spotters" throughout the city. These shot spotters can triangulate the gunshot location and sometime determine the caliber of weapon fired. These shot spotters allegedly confirm the shooting location as W and Flagler--but the report, including audio files, have not been released. Why not?

Many questions unanswered

The DC wall of silence.
1. No police report
2. No ambulance report
3. No hospital records; in fact it was days or months before the location of SR's surgery was announced.
4. No autopsy report
5. No active investigation
6. No reward offered by DNC for death of valuable staffer (but they did commemorate a bike rack to him)
7. DNC interference in the investigation

125 Congress members silent on SR murder. This may intersect into the Awan Brothers spy ring. More on this in another essay.

A former NC Democratic party chair doubts robbery theory (7:59)

A private attorney not hired by Rich Family or DNC files lawsuit against MPD.

The Rich family demands MPD release information to the public. Despite filing of this lawsuit, DC police won't release body cam footage including also a FOIA request (Freedom of Information Act).

Brad Bauman, ostensibly Rich family spokesman, asserts family wants to drop the current investigation. Bauman is a DNC operative who specializes in crisis management. Why did the DNC provide Bauman but no reward?

Update from SR's neighbor confirming neighborhood CCTV (9:59).

Cameras' lines of site near shooting location

The neighbor heard the gunshots and immediately went looking for the origin. He saw no one within minutes of the shooting. The following map shows the the shooter(s)' possible escape routes.

Inspector Clouseau or Professor Moriarity

A miserable job of investigation. There are multiple possible reasons for this.
1. Obstruction of justice by DNC
2. Obstruction of Justice by DWS's brother
3. Pure incompetence
4. Collusion with MPD and high Democratic officials.

DNC obstruction

Already discussed was the DNC insertion of Brad Bauman into the case, screening reporters and investigators away from the family. Donna Brazile warned off private eye investigating Seth Rich murder.

DNC affiliates increase involvement in SR murder investigations.

Details on the overview of the entire affair from DNC to SR and DWS, etc.

The malicious disinformation website Snopes.com gave away its pro-establishment servitude by stating: “Rich worked in voter expansion, a minor post in getting people to their right polling places. He was a low-level staffer who had only been employed since 2014, and thus unlikely to be near sensitive information.” First off, Rich was the director of data management and not a “low-level staffer.”

As to its perceived value, the voter information was sensitive enough to split the Democratic Party and nearly led to violent clashes between Sanders supporters and Hillary’s handmaidens. Willful ignorance is defined as the practice of ignoring any sensory input that appears to contradict one's inner model of reality. The Snopes mindset, as uncovered in my article on the Glock-armed hitman who infiltrated Trump Tower, is based on tactics of denial developed by the Israeli Defense Force cyber-warfare command, whose front companies invested in the user-tracking adware secretly planted on unsuspecting visitors to that “myth-busting” website, which has always relied on computer-generated hits for ratings.

The Voter Expansion Project was initiated in person by Bill Clinton in a video timed for the DNC’s winter conference in February 2014. At that gathering NPR reported: “Underscoring the Clintons' centrality to the new effort, the former president appeared in the DNC video announcing and unveiling the initiative.”

DWS's brother, Steven Wasserman has been accused of burying the SR investigation.

Pure incompetence

If one defines incompetence in a matter similar to James the Weasel Comey's year long "investigation" and finding nothing, then this case is also plagued by sheer incompetence.

Collusion with the MPD

What a strange brew! Heather Podesta, Tony's ex-wife, has been on the MPD board for years. Conflict of interest there? Nah, nothing to see. Chief of police Lanier resigned from MPD one month after the shooting to accept a very well-paying job with security of the NFL. Job well done!

FBI involvement?

Several hours before SR's shooting, burglars stole guns and radio from nearby FBI vehicle. This requires activation of a button under the seat, followed by insertion of a code on the tumblers locking the gun safe. The entire gun safe was removed. My, my, how careless of your boys, Mr. Comey! These weapons have not been recovered, nor has the radio. Incidentally the FBI offered a much higher reward for the radio than offered for the gun retrieval. Hmm.

Corpus delecti: between here and where

A very curious story indeed. The original story was that SR was shot about 4:40 AM and dies in hospital about 5:37 AM. Now, MPD was on the scene within 15 minutes, plus or minus. Several of the offices were wearing body cameras. As mentioned above, MPD refused to release the footage--sometimes saying it couldn't be located and at other times "just say NO".

Again it took a very long time to find out to which hospital SR was taken. This turns out to be Medstar, owned and operated by the Service Workers' International Union (SEIU). Here's a peculiar thing; no ambulance record is to be found. The original report is that SR died shortly after admission although conscious and talking at the scene. Not so easy there! A conflicting account, first aired on 4Chan, allegedly by a 4th year surgery resident who said SR had a survivable injury. SR seemed stable. When the resident returned on shift, he was warned not to get involved with the "VIP" patient by the attending physician. He also said that many persons, not from the hospital staff crowded into the ICU room in which SR was, precluding further visualization of SR.

The immediate vicinity of the shooting

From above, here is the neighborhood walk-through. This is important in comprehending the whole story. I suggest watching this.

It is reported that the Bloomingdale district was a high crime area. But was it always so?

Reports from neighbors in the area, complaining to the MPD the morning after SR's shooting are relevant.

Another post by second neighbor the same day:

Was the shooting location deliberately neglected by police for several months by withdrawing patrols? There were about 18 nearby robberies in the preceding 3 weeks but only one shooting.

The only real investigation so far

This gets a bit complicated. Initially the Rich family wanted a private investigator to look into the killing because the MPD had done such a miserable job. Since they did not have the money, a Republican operative named Jack Burkman came forward. He suggested that the family hire Rod Wheeler, a retired DC homicide detective now working as a P.I. Mr Wheeler had appeared on Fox news as a forensic consultant on several occasions. In fact the first mention of the investigation was made on Hannity.

The following interview is better than the one on Hannity, so this is the one you should watch.

Had enough yet? Probably but we are far from done with this. Stay tuned for the next episode.
