CEO Snuff Conspiracy Theory #154
2024-12-08
[GatewayPundit] Former MD Police Commander and Dana Bash Fantasize that UnitedHealthcare CEO “Orchestrated” His Own Assassination.

CNN’s Dana Bash indulged in conspiracy theories during a Friday segment of CNN’s Inside Politics, more like Inside the Loony Bin, when her guest, former Maryland State Police Commander Neill Franklin, suggested that United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson “orchestrated” his own assassination.

Franklin’s only evidence: “[The shooter] knew too much about where he was going to be at a specific time.” As Franklin explained how the assassin couldn’t have possibly known where Thompson would be, Bash justified the claims, pointing out that “he knew.” Wouldn’t any assassin likely know where their target would be at a specific time?

Surely, it’s possible, but what a stretch!

The Gateway Pundit reported on Wednesday morning that Brian Thompson was murdered outside of the Hilton Hotel. He arrived before 7 am for a conference when he was shot at multiple times by a masked man who police say was waiting for him to arrive. The fact that the assassin was waiting for Thompson “is what is really digging at me as a former criminal investigator,” said Franklin.

WATCH:

Bash: Do you think that they know who he is? Do You think that they have his identity?

Franklin: It's a good chance. It's a very good possibility, with these new photographs, that they already know who he is. It's a very good chance of that. But also, I want to say something else that I know these criminal investigators are looking into as it relates to motive. There have been times when people have orchestrated their own demise for certain reasons. We know that there was some— and I'm not saying this is the case, but as an investigator…

Bash: Like, for insurance purposes?

Franklin: Absolutely. Insurance purposes, maybe they fear some type of investigation down the road, maybe they want to leave their family in a good light. But there have been cases where people have orchestrated…

Bash: You're saying it in a nice language, you're saying, you're saying that it is a possibility that he hired somebody to kill him?

Franklin: Absolutely. It cannot be ignored. And this is what is really digging at me as a former criminal investigator. This guy knew too much about where he was going to be at a specific time. There's no evidence that I've seen of him— when you look at the timeline of him coming to that area outside of the Hilton and where he was outside of the Hilton, it's a very small window, very small window. It's not like he was roaming around, we have video of him roaming around, going from one door to the next, to the next, trying to figure out where he's going to be at a specific time.

Bash: He knew.

Franklin: He was there. He was laying in wait. Who would have that specific type of information as to what sidewalk he was going to be on?

#5  The stupidity of the MD Police Commander tells me everything I need to know why MD is such a 3rd World Shithole. And if you think UNH claims denial is solely on them and not DRs and creative billing, well, MD is the place for you.

#4  Here's a recent Substack post about United "Health". Yes, they are a monster with the highest denial claims rates.

#2  It turns out that the insurance company who's CEO was murdered last week is in some hot water already with the DOJ, or so I'm told. This insurance company has THE highest denial rates, over 30%. They own a large part of big pharma, they also own urgent clinics and hospital groups. Oh, and also responsible for over 25% of medicare/medicaid. They are giants! So how is this playing out. The accusations are that they deny and delay claims targeting hospital groups and large doctors offices. When they start to go under, they buy them. A business model of sorts.
So there is the background, or conspiracy theory so far. The shooter, that is getting so much press is being called an amateur by the news and that he is moments away from capture. We will see. While he may or may not be a professional shooter, he has thought this out and playing it better than anyone. First, this CEO has 24 hour security, the shooter found a gap, only pros know how to do this. He used a silenced small caliber weapon, like the pros. He did it in the open, under camera surveillance, he knew he was being video taped. He even left messages on the shells he left behind, probably causing the jams. What amazes me is his thought out trail of clues, like an easter egg hunt. He stayed in a hostel that had working cameras, did not hide from them. He only wore his mask enough to make the police work at it. He went to Starbucks right before, anyone knows his movements will be backtracked. He again left some clues, if they were good clues, finger prints and DNA he would have his name in lights by now. He left his backpack, purposefully leaving another clue. Now is on a bus out of town that stops at every po dunk city on the way out. He is dust in the wind.
They might eventually catch up with him. I assume the NYPD will find a body somewhere and attribute it to suicide and close the case. But what he had done is made this a media event like DB Cooper. The press cant let it go. In the way the press works, they will dig into background, like they are doing. The facts of how corrupt the insurance company is will surface on its own, like it is happening now. The new CEO of the insurance company knows this as well, he is calling for the media to drop the hype. The shooter has effectively given his one lone voice a national bullpen for the abuses in the system. Kinda like Batman!!

#1  Dana Bash says stuff that the three letter agencies put on her script. What she doesn’t say is truth.
