-Caveat Lector- -----Original Message----- From: DSharp673 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: alt.conspiracy.jfk Date: Friday, December 18, 1998 1:20 PM Subject: Monica Lewinsky linked to Sandy Hume’s suicide via Jake Tapper. (Mossad Agents?) > >Monica Lewinsky dated Jake Tapper, a reporter for the Washington City Paper. >Tapper wrote one of the few newspaper articles on the death Brit Hume’s son, >Sandy Hume. Tapper’s article, SUICIDE WATCH, was published in the Washington >City Paper on March 13, 1998. > >Tapper's article was not flattering at all to Hume. It looked like pure >propaganda to me. > >I got the information about Tapper dating Lewinsky from a TV program: >"Investigative Reports," on A & E, Dec. 17, 1998, 9-10pm. They had an hour >show about Monica Lewinsky and the Clinton scandal. Tapper was interviewed. >The credits indicated he was a "Washington journalist," but I remember that he >writes for the Washington City Paper and that he did a hatchet job on Humes. >He openly admitted dating Lewinsky, said she was a nice person and didn’t >understand why the world hated her so. > >Here is Tapper’s article about Sandy Hume’s alleged suicide: > >*************** > >SUICIDE WATCH >by Jake Tapper >Washington City Paper >March 13, 1998 > >After U.S. Park Police officer Tod Ritacco arrested journalist Alexander >"Sandy" Hume for speeding early in the morning on Sunday, Feb. 22, he took Hume >to the Park Police Central Booking Station at Hains Point and locked him in a >holding cell. The police had asked Hume to remove his belt and shoelaces – >standard measures to avoid jailhouse suicides. But Hume only turned in one >shoelace and, after he’d been locked in his cell, used the other one in an >attempt to hang himself, tying one end to the metal mesh grid of the cell door, >looping the rest around his neck, and holding the other end tight as he dropped >to his knees. Minutes later, the police heard Hume choking and burst into the >room, saving him from himself. > >After being treated for his wounds at D.C. General Hospital, Hume was taken to >the Emergency Psychiatric Response Division (EPRD), a division of the D.C. >Commission on Mental Health, where experts assessed Hume as no longer suicidal. > He was released. Later that day, Hume killed himself in his Arlington home >with a gunshot to the head. > >"None of use viewed him as in the least depressed," says Marty Tolchin, >publisher of the "Hill," where Hume worked. "He was a journalist of >extraordinary talent and promise, and we’re still devastated by his death." > >Any time somebody ends his own life, questions linger about what could have >been done. No doubt friends of Hume, a well-liked reporter and son of Fox News >Channel’s Brit Hume, have spent the last two weeks asking themselves those >questions. But no one had any idea that Hume was close to killing himself. No >one, that is, except the cops and doctors who were with him for the last few >hours of his life. > >Hume’s suicide seemed to be one of those random stories that drops out of >nowhere. No one will ever know whether his rash decisions and reckless >mind-set in the early morning hours of Feb. 22 reflected instability or just >plain drunkenness. At 2:20a.m., Ritacco spotted Hume driving his ’92 green BMW >south on the Clara Barton Parkway from Bethesda to D.C., exceeding 75 mph in a >45 mph zone, according to Sgt. Joseph cox, public information officer of the >U.S. Park Police, which has jurisdiction over the parkway. Ritacco pursued >Hume and signaled to him to pull over. Hume instead accelerated, attempting to >flee. > >The brief chase continued past the D.C. border and out of Park Police >jurisdiction, until Hume drove through a construction area along Canal Road >east of Chain Bridge, whereupon Ritacco slowed down to avoid an accident. At >the intersection of Arizona Avenue and Canal road, however, Ritacco found Hume >stalled and furiously turning his ignition. As he placed Hume under arrest for >speeding, Ritacco, according to Cox, "detected the odor of alcoholic beverages >about his person" and took him to Hains Point. > >As he stood at the booking desk, Hume was charged with reckless driving, DUI, >speeding, and a red-light violation. The police took his belt and left >shoelace. After thoroughly searching his clothes and not finding the other >shoelace, Ritacco and another officer escorted Hume back to the processing >room, where they gave him a number of field sobriety tests – all of which Hume >failed. After refusing a chemical breath test, Hume was placed by himself in >one of the two holding cells off the processing room. > >Less than five minutes later, Ritaccoa and the second officer "heard what >sounded like Hume vomiting," according to Cox. The second officer entered the >room and saw Hume "in a kneeling position, the shoelace tied to the grid of >door, trying to choke himself. It wasn’t tied off, however. He was holding >it." > >"It’s generally frowned upon to put a person inebriated in a cell by himself," >notes Dr. Lanny Berman, executive director of the American Association of >Suicidology. "The most common jailbased suicide is of a young male who’s >intoxicated, arrested for intoxication in some misdemeanor and, fearing >punishment or humiliation, manages to hang himself." > >"That’s unreasonable," says Cox, suggesting that most police forces don’t or >can’t abide by Berman’s suggestion. "I don’t know how we can process prisoners >under that criteria….Are we supposed to bring our typewriter in the cell with >him?" And to have put Hume in with another prisoner would have been >unrealistic as well, Cox asserts. "It increases liability….I think we have >greater responsibility to protect the prisoners from each other, rather than >have them baby-sit each other." > >Cox says Hume was monitored closely, not only through a closed-circuit camera >that beamed his activities to the booking desk, but by officers in the >processing room, adjacent to the holding cells. "I think we did everything >that we could," Cox adds. > >After being treated by D.C. Fire and Rescue Personnel, Hume was rushed to D.C. >General Hospital, where he arrived at 5:40a.m. and diagnosed with blunt trauma >to his neck. According to a hospital spokesperson, he was discharged at >9:30a.m. and transferred to EPRD, a unit of the Commission on Mental Health >"separate and apart" from D.C. General, according to the spokesperson. "It >just happens to be located on [our] campus." > >Hume was one of about 6,000 patients whom EPRD evaluates each year. A team of >nurses and at least one psychiatrist evaluate all patients to determine if they >meet the criteria for mental illness or pose a danger to themselves or others. >About 2,000 patients each year are committed to psychiatric care after this >kind of triage. > >Hume apparently convinced the medical staff that the crisis had passed and was >promptly released from EPRD. A spokesperson for the Arlington County police >confirmed that at 12:05 p.m. Monday the police "got a call that he was – >wherever he was – dead." Police procedures bar releasing information on >suicides other than to confirm that they have occurred. "It’s not really a >crime, so it’s a little bit different from telling you about an armed robbery," >explained the spokesperson. > >Dr. Robert Keisling, executive director of EPRD, declined to comment on the >Hume case and discussed general procedures for involuntary hospitalization. >EPRD’s evaluation process, says Keisling, can take anywhere from two to 24 >hours. "It depends on the severity of the situation," he says. > >When EPRD officials conduct evaluations, according to Keisling, they take into >account whether the patient is drunk. "We have a lot of folks who do impulsive >things under the influence of alcohol or drugs who, when they sober up, are no >longer considered to be suicidal," says Keisling. "All the studies have shown >that 99 percent of the time the person doesn’t go out and commit suicide." > >But there’s always that 1 percent, a group that unfortunately includes Hume. A >talented, intelligent young man, Hume was able to form contacts in the high >echelons of the Republican Party’s leadership, scooping the national press >corps on last year’s failed House leadership coup. He certainly had the skills >to hoodwink a shrink. > >And his mind seems to have been set. As soon as Hume unlaced his right >shoelace and hid it somewhere on his body, his decision to take his own life >seems to have been made. Sobriety didn’t change that, nor did the light of >day. So Hume leaves behind not only friends and family who wish they could >turn back the clock, but perhaps law enforcement and a hospital staff as well. >As Berman noted, "We all should have such good judgment that we’re always >right." > >********** End of article ********** > >(Reference Washington City Paper, March 13-19, 1998, Vol. 18, No. 10, "Suicide >Watch," by Jake Tapper, page 12) > >Sandy Hume’s mysterious and tragic death was a hot topic of discussion on the >Internet last winter, although little was written about it by of the mainstream >printed news media. > >Jake Tapper’s article in the Washington City Paper was the first and only >non-Internet article I saw on the topic. Tapper’s article did not question the >suicide theory. Suicide was treated as a given. Tapper did not address or >even attempt to refute widespread Internet rumors that Hume may have been >murdered. He completely ignored such a possibility. Instead Tapper delved in >mumbo jumbo psychological gibberish of how suicides are caused and how they may >be prevented. He also maligned the character of the late Sandy Hume in the >process. > >For those who believe critics of the suicide theory should keep silent out of >respect for the grief-stricken family of Sandy Hume, I suggest they read Jake >Tapper’s article.
