Reads to me more like the 'Clinton Body Count'.

The "Clinton Body Count" is a long-debunked conspiracy theory that falsely claims dozens of people connected to Bill and Hillary Clinton died under suspicious circumstances. Originating in the 1990s, the theory has been repeatedly recycled and amplified by far-right groups and figures, most recently with the rise of social media and the QAnon movement

The Clinton Chronicles: The conspiracy was popularized by the 1994 propaganda video The Clinton Chronicles, which accused former President Bill Clinton of criminal activity during his time as governor of Arkansas.

Linda Thompson: An Indianapolis lawyer and conspiracy theorist, Thompson created an early version of the "body count" list in 1993, which she titled "The Clinton Body Count: Coincidence or the Kiss of Death?".

Jerry Falwell: In 1994, televangelist Jerry Falwell helped fund and promote The Clinton Chronicles, which featured unproven claims about the death of White House counsel Vince Foster.

Donald Trump: In May 2025, a video shared by Donald Trump perpetuated the false "Clinton body count" theory by mentioning figures like John F. Kennedy Jr. and Mary Mahoney.

Key cases and debunked claims
The theory alleges suspicious deaths for numerous individuals, but investigations have consistently found no evidence of foul play connected to the Clintons.

Vince Foster: A longtime associate of the Clintons and Deputy White House Counsel, Foster died by suicide in 1993. Multiple official investigations, including by a special counsel, ruled his death a suicide. The "body count" theory continues to claim he was murdered.

John F. Kennedy Jr.: His death in a 1999 plane crash was investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board, which found no mechanical problems. Conspiracy theorists, including a video shared by Trump, have falsely linked his death to Hillary Clinton's political career.

Mary Mahoney: A White House intern who was killed during an attempted robbery in 1997. The man who committed the robbery confessed to the crime. Despite this, conspiracy theories have falsely implicated the Clintons.

Jeffrey Epstein: After financier Jeffrey Epstein died in jail in 2019, conspiracy theories, including the "Clinton body count," trended on social media. They were shared despite Epstein having ties to multiple prominent figures, including Trump, who also flew on Epstein's plane.

The continued spread of misinformation

Despite being repeatedly debunked by fact-checkers and official investigations, the "Clinton body count" theory persists and has evolved with online conspiracy culture.

Social media: Platforms like Twitter (now X) and YouTube have struggled to contain the spread of such theories, which can quickly go viral through hashtags and algorithm recommendations.

QAnon: The "body count" theory has been integrated into the QAnon conspiracy theory, which alleges that prominent Democrats are part of a satanic, deep-state cabal.

Misinformation tactics: Researchers like Mike Caulfield have cited the "Clinton body count" as a prime example of "trope-field fit," where a conspiracy narrative is applied to any news event to create a running list of supposed evidence.
