This article by Miles Mathis claims that the narrative surrounding the death of Seth Rich is a fabricated event, a “faked murder” designed to provide cover for his supposed entry into the CIA. The author asserts that Rich was not killed but rather his death was staged, citing a lack of concrete evidence and numerous inconsistencies in the mainstream media’s reporting.
Mathis speculates that Seth Rich’s Jewish background and family name, Rich, connect him to a lineage involved in historical “cons.” He suggests that Rich’s parents, Joel and mary (née hopkins), and their family have intentionally obscured their ancestral information. The author views the lawsuit filed by Rich’s parents against Fox News as another layer of the deception, designed to deter further inquiry, similar to the Sandy Hook case.
The article points to Seth Rich’s employment at Greenberg Quinlan Rosner (GQR) immediately after college as evidence of his connection to the CIA, characterizing GQR as a CIA front run by Stanley Greenberg. Mathis also questions Greenberg’s background, noting the lack of detail on his Harvard PhD and Yale teaching positions. He further suggests Rich’s role at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) was a superficial cover for more significant activities before his alleged transition to the CIA.
Mathis dissects the official account of Rich’s death, questioning the circumstances, the timing (4:20 AM), the limited security camera footage showing only legs, and the implausible police response time. He highlights the precise distance of 1.8 miles from Lou’s sports bar to Rich’s home as a deliberate clue, referencing “aces and eights.” The author dismisses the robbery motive, pointing out that valuables were not taken, and questions the neighborhood’s alleged history of violent robberies. Contradictory accounts regarding Rich’s whereabouts before his death and his living situation (roommates at age 27) are also presented as evidence of a fabricated story.
A photograph of Rich’s casket is analyzed for inconsistencies, suggesting it may be a prop or a catering cart due to its unusual appearance and perspective distortions. The article notes the rapid politicization of Rich’s death by Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Hillary Clinton, and the subsequent media campaign launched by his parents with assistance from Jack Burkman. The involvement of Ed Butowsky, who hired investigator Rod Wheeler, is scrutinized, particularly Butowsky’s conservative leanings and his supposed concern for a “low-level DNC pollster.”
Jack Burkman is described as a shadowy figure involved in questionable activities, with his company Surefire Intelligence (founded by Jack Wohl) allegedly involved in framing public figures. Mathis questions Burkman’s motivation for offering a reward, suggesting he knew Rich was alive. Rod Wheeler’s background as a former police detective turned food safety worker and on-air commentator for Fox News is also presented as suspicious, implying his investigation and subsequent lawsuit against Fox News were staged.
The article concludes by examining the online search results for Seth Rich’s parents, Joel and Mary Rich, finding inconsistencies and obscured information. mary’s maiden name, hopkins, is revealed, leading to further genealogical speculation. Rich’s attendance at Creighton, a Jesuit university, despite being Jewish, is noted as another anomaly. The involvement of Kelsey Mulka, Seth Rich’s alleged girlfriend and former colleague at GQR, who also worked for USAID (another alleged CIA front), further supports the author’s thesis. The title of a documentary about Rich’s death, “Web of Make Believe: Death, Lies and the Internet,” and Rich’s social media posts about gun violence just before his death are also highlighted as too coincidental and deliberately constructed.
