  • A classic Internet conspiracy theory, Clinton Body Bags, reared its ugly head again in February 2019 in the form of a post on the junk news website stating that the body of a former Hillary Clinton aide had been found washed up on the shore of the Ohio River. America's Last Line of Defense (LLOD) reported that the body was discovered in the small town of St. Clairsville in the eastern part of Ohio: The post went on to say that the victim appeared to have been tortured and was killed by a bullet fired from close range into the back of his head. As of yet it is unclear who murdered Holpern, but the timing suggests that it was someone connected to Hillary Clinton, the text continued. Yet another body is added to Clinton’s pile. How many skeletons will we ultimately find in her closet? The decades-old body bags conspiracy theory holds that dozens of former Clinton associates have died under so-called mysterious circumstances since President Bill Clinton took office in 1993. Based on nothing more than innuendo and (at best) circumstantial evidence, proponents of the theory claim the Clintons had countless people done away with because those people crossed the family or possessed incriminating information about them. This new article purporting to add yet one more body to the list was a work of pure fiction. The town of St. Clairsville, where the body supposedly washed up,& is at least 10 miles away from the banks of the Ohio River. And the name Jaeger Holpern isn't one that has ever (before this) been associated with the Clinton family. Indeed, it's an anagram of the name of the pseudonymous author of the piece, one Jolee Garphren. The network of websites and social media accounts operating under the America's Last Line of Defense banner publish politically divisive content for the purpose of trolling conservative readers, characterizing it as satirical in disclaimers such as the following: At least two other blogs republished the article verbatim without including any such disclaimer.
