https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McAfee
– Bonus link –
I assume because the wiki page says it’s disproven & a conspiracy theory..
The Clinton body count is a disproven conspiracy theory that baselessly asserts the notion that former U.S. President Bill Clinton and his wife, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, have secretly had their political opponents murdered, totaling as many as 50 or more.
Pip’s Bonus notes – woah… they even have the links and stories connecting them all together… where did those black SUV’s come from? They weren’t just there?
