The following has been added to the Culture War Encyclopedia (slightly adapted) under arkancide. Every term in bold will sooner or later link to an other entry in the CWE. Please subscribe!
It seems there’s been an other case of arkancide (also spelled arkanside). The term, reportedly, is combination, or, to be more literal,
a portmanteau of suicide and Arkansas that was being used by Twitter conservatives to accuse the Clintons of foul play.
Note the flawed binary thinking in the assumption (or assertion) that to criticize the Clintons is to be conservative. One need only to think to see this as absurd in principle alone. It is also demonstrably false. For example, CNN’s Lou Dobbs used the term in a manner critical of the Clintons as we’ll see below. Chistopher Hitchens is an other example. He was an outspoken atheist. He was a socialist, but only for a time, but critical of the left and the right and he was certainly not a conservative. It was fair to say, when he was alive, that Hitchens
challenges perceptions – of liberals and conservatives alike
just because someone gets away with everything, doesn’t mean they’re not a rapist, a war criminal, a liar and a crook.
Thusly putting aside the infantile suggestion that only conservatives would accuse the Clintons of arkancide, let’s further define the term with, in the interest of being fair and balanced, a source from the other side of the see-saw than Hitchens. Conservapedia reports the following with citations for every claim,
Arkancide is a neologistic term attributed to the killing of political opponents and having it framed as "suicide".[2] A reference originating with the Clinton body count, it is commonly used in connection with deceased persons ruled a "suicide" with two bullets in the back of the head. Many suspicious deaths began occurring in Arkansas when Bill Clinton was the state's governor, hence "Arkancide". These deaths have most often been caused by hitmen hired by the Clintons (most often, by Hillary Clinton[3][4]) to silence political opponents and to protect themselves against anyone who had potentially damaging information against them, regarding illegal activities they were involved in, that could end their political careers and send them to prison.[5][6]
The act of being offed by one of any member of a prominent political family from Arkansas.
"Joe, last night I heard four gunshots in my neighborhood!" "Ted, probably another former Clinton associate committing arkancide."
…and…
A suspicious suicide of a person who is set to testify in court against powerful government officials, agencies, or their billionaire patrons. This happens when a person is not in federal custody.
There have been so many people Arkancided since the nineties, it can't be a statistical anomaly. People just don't shoot themselves three times in the head with a revolver.
Suzanne Coleman – Reportedly had an affair with Clinton when he was Arkansas Attorney General (Snopes says he was her law professor). Died of a gunshot wound to the back of the head in February 1977; ruled a suicide. Was 7½ months pregnant at the time of her death. No autopsy was performed.
Barry Seal: An ex-TWA pilot who became a major drug smuggler for the Medellín Cartel, operating from Mena Airport, Arkansas, when Bill Clinton was governor. Became a DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) informant after he was convicted of smuggling charges. Murdered in February 1986 by contract killers hired by Pablo Escobar, head of the Medellín Cartel.
Don Henry: A 16-year-old boy who, with his friend Kevin Ives (see #4 below), was hit by a cargo train in Alexander, Arkansas in August 1987. Their deaths were initially ruled an accident, but were later ruled homicides after the parents of the boys insisted on a second autopsy. Apathologist ruled Henry’s shirt showed evidence of a stab wound. It is said the boys had accidentally stumbled upon Barry Seal’s drug smuggling operations at Mena Airport. One week before and again on the same night the boys died, a man wearing military fatigues was spotted near the train tracks. According to Snopes, a 1988 Saline County grand jury determined the boys were murdered and their bodies afterwards laid on the tracks, but no other conclusions were reached and no indictments were returned. Snopes says there was “nothing that ties Ives and Henry to Clinton” and that “In a 25 May 1990 hearing before U.S. Magistrate Henry Jones Jr., Katherine Brightop said her ex-boyfriend Paul William Criswell told her” he and three other men had beaten the two boys to death after they caught the boys trying to steal cocaine.
Kevin Ives: A 17-year-old boy who, with his friend Don Henry (above), were killed by a train in August 1987. Many individuals with information on the Henry/Ives case died in suspicious circumstances, including:

Keith McMaskle: Died in November 1988, stabbed 113 times. Snopes says that in August 1989, Ronald Shane Smith was sentenced to ten years for the murder of McMaskle.
Jeff Rhodes: Shot twice in the head and found burnt in a dumpster in April 1989. Snopes says Rhodes had earlier told his father he feared for his life because he’d witnessed a narcotics transaction, and that in July 1989 Frank Pilcher was arrested for Rhodes’ murder.
Jordan Ketelson: Found shot in the front seat of his pickup truck in June 1990. All Snopes says is that “21-year-old Jordan Ketelsendied on 25 June 1990.”
Richard Winters : Killed by a man using a sawed-off shotgun in a set-up robbery in July 1989.
James Milan: No date of death. Found decapitated. Snopes says that Milam’s daughter-in-law insisted Milam was murdered, but that Milam had died three months before the Ives and Henry murders.
Danny Casolaro: Freelance reporter working to uncover the leads of several then-rumored Clinton scandals including activities at Mena Airport and the corrupt Arkansas Development Finance Authority. Found dead in his hotel bathroom in August 1991 with both wrists slashed, although he had repeatedly informed his family and friends if he met such a fate it would not be suicide. Ruled a suicide.
C. Victor Raiser II: A major player in the Clinton fund raising organization; died in a private plane crash in July 1992.

Jerry Parks: Head of Clinton’s gubernatorial security team in Little Rock. Gunned down in his car at a deserted intersection outside Little Rock in September 1993. Park’s son said his father was building a dossier on Clinton and had threatened to reveal this information. After he died the files were mysteriously removed from his house.
Steven Dickson: A Kansas lawyer who died (with Stanley Heard, #15 below) in a small plane crash in September 1993. Washington Post says “authorities” said Dickson had participated the previous day in a briefing on the Clinton administration’s health care plan.
Stanley Heard: An Arkansas chiropractor said by some sites to be Chairman of the National Chiropractic Health Care Advisory Committee, served on Bill Clinton’s advisory council and personally treated Clinton’s mother, stepfather and brother. Died with his attorney Steven Dickson in a small plane crash in September 1993.

Stanley Huggins: A partner in a Memphis law firm found dead in June 1994 reportedly from viral pneumonia. Huggins headed a 1987 examination into the loan practices of Madison Savings & Loan. He produced a 300-400 page report that has never been made public. Snopesclaims that Dr. Richard Callery, Delaware’s top medical examiner, said Huggins had died from viral myocarditis and bronchial pneumonia, and that University of Delaware police officer Joel Ivory said his exhaustive investigation of Huggins’ death turned up “no sign at all of foul play.”
Florence Martin: An accountant working for the CIA who had documents and paperwork detailing a $1.5 million Caymans bank account for drug-smuggler Barry Seals. Found dead in her home in Texas in October 1994, with three gunshots to her head through a pillow. According to Snopes, Martin worked the graveyard shift at a convenience store. In 2012, Jack Wesley Melton was charged with Martin’s murder; DNA found at the scene was matched to him, leading to his arrest.
Ron Brown: Secretary of Commerce and former DNC Chairman. Reported to have died by impact in a plane crash in April 1996. A pathologist close to the investigation reported that there was a hole in the top of Brown’s skull resembling a gunshot wound. At the time of his death Brown was being investigated and spoke publicly of his willingness to cut a deal with prosecutors.

Johnny Lawhorn, Jr.: A mechanic whose repair shop was ripped by a tornado in the spring of 1997, which opened up the trunk of a car containing a box of Whitewater records, including a copy of a $27,000 cashiers check payable to Bill Clinton. Lawhorn turned the box of documents over to the FBI. In March 1998, after driving less than ¼ of a mile, Lawhorn and a friend were killed when his car hit a utility pole at a high rate of speed.
Seth Rich: DC staffer who leaked damaging DNC emails to Wikileaks, including an email showing the DNC had sabotaged Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign to favor Hillary Clinon. Rich was “robbed” (his wallet was intact) and shot to death on the streets of Washington, DC, on July 10, 2016.
Jeffrey Epstein: Committed suicide-by-hanging in his Manhattan federal detention cell on August 10, 2019. Flight logs of Epstein’s private jet show Bill Clinton had flown on it at least 26 times. Reportedly, the FBI also has evidence that Hillary Clinton had visited Epstein’s private island.

There are other Arkancides in the three years between Seth Rich’s death on July 10, 2016 and Jeffrey Epstein’s on August 10, 2019. I will add those to this post later because researching them will take time. If you know who they are, please share the information, including source link(s), in a comment. Thank you!
ARKANSAS prosecutors have launched an investigation related to shocking claims Bill Clinton ordered the brutal 1987 murder of two innocent teenagers amid a dark drug-smuggling scandal!
In a stunning interview with Little Rock radio host Doc Washburn, former professional wrestler Billy Jack Haynes charged Clinton — then governor of Arkansas —- recruited him as muscle for a rogue CIA drug-running operation and ordered the deaths of Kevin Ives, 17, and Don Henry, 16, after they accidentally stumbled upon it!
“Saline County prosecutors have subpoenaed my interview with Billy Jack and are pleading with the private investigator who originally located him to hand him over,” radio host Washburn says in an exclusive GLOBE interview. Washburn also gave GLOBE a copy of the explosive subpoena.
The radio host believes the ex-wrestler’s allegations about the former president was the catalyst that drew the prosecutors’ attention to the case.
“The fact that Billy Jack called out Clinton was definitely the lightning rod here,” he says.
“They called me the day after the broadcast and sent the subpoena demanding ‘any and all interviews I had conducted with Billy Jack Haynes.’”
There was more, but it was behind a paywall.
Conservapedia gives us a look into a double murder cover-up that seems to have led to a number of other murder cover ups to cover up the initial murder cover ups.
One of the more bizarre cases among a plethora of bizarre cases was that of a witness in the Mena, Arkansas Ives/Henry double murder case (also known as The Boys on the Tracks). The state's chief Medical Examiner, appointed by Gov. Bill Clinton, originally ruled the Ives/Henry double murder as suicides, which was later overturned. The same medical examiner ruled a "suicide" the death of a witness whose decapitated head was found in a dumpster two blocks away.
Ives/Henry case
Died: April 23, 1987. Known as "The boys on the track" case. Reports indicate that Ives and Henry stumbled upon and witnessed an aerial drop in the area of Bauxite and Alexander, Arkansas, part of the Mena drug smuggling operation.[7] Initial cause of death was claimed to be the result of passing out on railroad tracks in Saline County after smoking marijuana. The ruling was reported by the State chief medical examiner Dr. Fahmy Malak.[8]
In April 1988, Kevin Ives body was exhumed, and another autopsy was performed, this one by Atlanta medical examiner Dr. Joseph Burton who discovered that Kevin died from a crushed skull prior to being placed on the tracks. Don Henry's body was exhumed and discovered to have been stabbed in the back prior to being placed on the tracks.
Governor Bill Clinton stood by Malak even though a group of citizens and the Arkansas Democrat called for his dismissal. Clinton excused Fahmy Malek's "errors" saying that Malek was "tired and stressed out."[9][10][11] The existing evidence points toward two local policemen.[12] 7 more violent deaths occurred before their testimony could come before a Grand Jury.
James "Dewey" Milam – May 30, 1987. Found decapitated. Dr. Fahmy Malak, the Coroner initially ruled death due to "natural causes" and an ulcer, claiming that the victim's small dog had eaten his head. Milam's head later was recovered fully intact from a trash bin several blocks away.
Keith Coney – July 1988. Died when his motorcycle slammed into the back of a truck.
Keith McMaskle – November 1988. Owner of a local bar. Stabbed 113 times to death.
Gregory Collins – January 1989. Died from a gunshot wound.
Jeff Rhodes – April 1989. He was shot, mutilated and found burned in a trash dump.
Richard Winters – July 1989. A suspect in the Ives / Henry deaths. He was killed in a set-up robbery.
Jordan Kettleson – June 1990. Was found shot to death in the front seat of his pickup truck.
Others
John Ashe - The former President of the UN General Assembly was about to testify against Hillary Clinton in a bribery case when he turned up dead in June 2016, ruled a "suicide", claiming he crushed his own throat.[16]
Jeffrey Epstein - August 10, 2019. The day after unsealed court documents alleging pedophiliac activity naming Bill Clinton, former Clinton DOE Energy Secretary Bill Richardson,[17] and multiple other globalelitesocialists and liberals, Epstein was found dead in his jail cell awaiting trial. Former Whitewater prosecutor Kenneth Starr worked on Epstein's 2008 defense team.[18] Epstein claimed to be a co-founder of the Clinton foundation. At the time of Epstein's death, Epstein was reported to be worth more than $500 million, largely from pimping underage girls from broken homes and families to the global elite.
Keep in mind that this is just one nexus or cluster of such killings.
Inflammatory headline? Perhaps. At least until the facts are considered on their merits and not on the general media's sugarcoating…
…Facts: A) Over three decades, more than 80 people associated with the Clintons have met their deaths under suspicious circumstances or, bluntly put, murder. This includes the last four people to die in six weeks who were related to the 2016 Clinton campaign. Even Obama hasn't been connected to such a deadly domestic syndicate.
Kristenev goes on with a dirty Clinton laundry list and I recommend you read it. The piece original linked to a report by Tyler Durden for Zero Hedge whose reporting in my albeit selective experience, has always been reliable, factually correct and well sourced. But the link is now dead.
Yes, this is a real story from the Clinton's home state of Arkansas.
A former Clinton aide who had ties to Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide by shooting himself and tying himself to a tree, even though police couldn't even find the gun.
…the sheriff's report into Mark Middleton's mysterious death raises more questions than answers as it rules he died by suicide – despite no sign of the weapon that killed him…
The report, written by Perry County Sheriff's Deputy Jeremy Lawson, says he was called to the ranch by worker Samantha McElroy who had found Middleton's abandoned black BMW SUV.
McElroy, 46, then walked around a cottage on the ranch.
'Almost immediately after stepping around the corner of the cottage she started yelling,' wrote Lawson.
'Upon reaching the back of the cottage she pointed towards the rear of the property and asked if that was a person.
'I could see what at first appeared to be a man sitting near a tree, as my eyes focused better, I could see a rope of some type going from the tree limb to the male."
Lawson said it was clear that Middleton was dead.
'I could see that he had a gunshot wound to the chest and that he had a knot tied in an extension cord that was around his neck and it was attached to the limb directly above him.
The deputy said a search of Middleton's vehicle turned up three boxes of buckshot and a gun case – but no weapon.
You know, whenever I tie myself to a tree and shoot myself in the chest what I normally do is take the gun away from the crime scene but leave all the other evidence. I need to leave the place clean and tidy.
Middleton was a special advisor to Bill Clinton in the 1990s and signed Jeffrey Epstein into the White House on seven of the 17 times the late pedophile visited.
Middleton also flew on Epstein's jet, nicknamed the 'Lolita Express'. More recently he had been working for his family's HVAC business in Little Rock.
The police report was released to DailyMail.com by the Perry County sheriff's office.
According to the Arkansas Times, Middleton's family said he was suffering from depression.
The dude personally flew on Lolita Express!
He signed Epstein in and out of the White House for the Clintons.
Then, years later, like everyone else who knows the Clinton's and Epstein, he happens to kill himself.
It's so weird how that keeps happening.
White House visitor logs previously reported by DailyMail.com showed that he appears as the authorizing signatory on seven of Epstein's White House visits, most of which were to the West Wing.
In addition to being a special assistant to the President, Middleton was also assistant to the chief of staff, Thomas 'Mack' McLarty.
Middleton left the White House in February 1995 and was accused of setting himself up as an international deal-maker, exactly the kind of person that would appeal to Epstein.
In 1996 an investigation by the White House found that Middleton had abused his access to impress business clients and was barred from the executive mansion without senior approval.
Middleton denied the claims.
I am sure this is just another crazy coincidence!
You hear that, Hillary? Just a wild happenstance! Nothing weird going on here.
By the way, who’s taking bets on how long Epstein’s partner in crime is paid a little visit by the Hillary’s fatal bony finger of death?
