The main theory is that Anthony Bourdain (famous chef/TV personality), Chester Bennington (lead singer for Linkin Park) and Chris Cornell (lead singer for Soundgarden/Audioslave) were involved in making the documentary The Silent Children which would have exposed the Bushes and Clintons for their involvement in a child sex trafficking ring.
We have a short thread
here from the time of Bourdain's death in 2018.
And here is a promo for the above-mentioned documentary,
The Silent Children, which apparently never got made (or finished, or 'published'):
As you can see, it's really a documentary about the
supply side of global child sex trafficking, not the gruesome results in (largely Western) cities. So I doubt it was going to "expose the Bushes and Clintons for their involvement in a child sex trafficking ring."
So why would celebrities, musicians mainly, be 'suicided' over their involvement with such a project? Presumably they'd have appeared in the documentary as guests, thus their celebrity status would lend the documentary more 'weight'?
Since 2018, Tim Ballard's documentary on children being trafficked from Latin America northwards (
Operation Underground Railroad) has been produced, and a movie was made that is based on it (
Sound of Freedom). I don't think anyone died in the making of those, and Ballard gained plenty of access to big-name right-wing figures in the US.
I suppose it's possible that the mere potential for such famous figures as the frontmen for Linkin Park and Soundgarden to draw mass attention to child sex trafficking in general was sufficient 'reason' to murder them, but it's not a strong motive.
If you watch the above docu promo, notice the photos included at the end promoting a website at music festival venues: the-trafficjam.com
A similarly-named website -
traffickjamlive.org - is still live. Paul Myhill says in the promo that his idea was to get big names to sign on to promoting awareness of child sex trafficking at their venues, thus potentially spreading mass awareness.
However, when 'fact-checkers' in MSM dismissed this Bourdain-Bennington-Cornell connection in 2020,
they cited the following statement from the producers of
The Silent Children:
“None of the people mentioned were ever involved in our project and we were never even remotely in contact with them. Our project and its website was a well-meaning attempt to make people aware of a serious problem. We never got further then what was on the website and were not able to raise funding to move forward. The project was abandoned at least five years ago. The website was maintained as an informational source by Ms Beane and is in the process of being taken down.”
It's more likely that all three men had more 'personal' knowledge of criminal activity, and that the connecting factor wasn't this
Silent Children project. For starters, Bennington and Cornell were close friends, so what one knew, the other likely knew.
