Jewish Blogger Andrew Breitbart's unexpected death sparks wild conspiracy theories


Andrew Breitbart's untimely death has sparked wild conspiracy theories that the publisher was murdered on the President's orders.

The Conservative blogger, who published the infamous tweets that brought down former Representative Anthony Weiner, died on Thursday after he suddenly collapsed on a sidewalk near his Los Angeles home.

Within hours of his death, the internet was awash with methods and motives invented by conspiracy theorist explaining how and why Obama had the author killed.

The theories are fueled by Breitbart's announcement at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington last month that he had a college video of Obama that that would blow the lid off his presidency.

[We] are going to vet [Obama] from his college days to show you why racial division and class warfare are central to what hope and change was sold in 2008,' Breitbart told the CPAC, reports Yahoo News.

The rest of us slept while they plotted, and they plotted, and they plotted.' he added.

Breitbart said he planned to release the damning footage before the general election.

Steve Bannon, producer of 'The Undefeated' and a friend of Breitbart's, told Fox News' that the tapes of Obama at Harvard do exist, and that they would be released within 10 days.

The news has triggered droves of conspiracy theories posted online about foul play in the sudden death dreamt by conservative bloggers.

Paul Joseph Watson described Breitbart's death as a 'stunning coincidence' on Infowars.com, reports Yahoo.

He said: 'It appears Andrew Breitbart suffered his untimely death just hours before he was set to release damning video footage that could have sunk Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign.

Conservative blogger Lawrence Sinclair made reference to a conversation he had with Breitbart in Washington D.C. three weeks before his death.

Andrew said, 'Wait til they see what happens March first,'' Lawrence Sinclair wrote on his website, reports Yahoo.

He also had a problem with the wording of the statement announcing Breitbart's death on BigGovernment.com.

Claims that Andrew died of 'natural causes' are the opinions of his attorney Joel Pollak and not the statements of any medical personnel from UCLA or the L.A. County Coroners office,' he wrote, according to Yahoo.

L.A. Assistant Chief Medical Examiner Ed Winter says autopsy to be done tomorrow (Friday March 2, 2012) and no official cause of death has been determined.'

The coroner's office told Yahoo News that it is unclear when the results of an autopsy would be released.

With suggestions of foul play on Sinclair's website, it attracted comments from conspiracy theorists claiming Breitbart had been murdered.

I do not believe Breitbart died from natural causes,' one commenter on the site wrote, reports Yahoo.

He died for speaking the truth...He probably should not have announced he had videos of BO's college days... I find it quite interesting that he died alone on a street.

There will be an autopsy and they will decide on natural causes, but there is a way to induce a heart attack in human beings.

Another said: 'One thing is for sure. 43-year-old people don't die from 'natural causes.

In response to the wild allegations, Sinclair later backtracked and posted: 'We are not and have not said nor do we believe the death of Andrew Breitbart is the result of anything other than a believed heart attack.

We simply reported that different media outlets reporting the cause of death as being of 'natural causes' before a cause of death has been determined is wrong and has created this sense of something more sinister.' reports Yahoo.

InfoWars.com is another site which has housed the conspiracy theorists' claims and speculations, reports Yahoo.

One post says: 'In my opinion THIS GUY GOT ELIMINATED. Plain and simple.

And another said: 'Anybody who gets too close to the truth will be killed.

One piece of information which may hold the conspiracy theorists at bay is that Breitbart's relatives told the Associated Press that in 2010 he had suffered from heart problems.
