By now you know — or maybe you don’t — about the case of Tafari Campbell, the personal chef to former President Barack Obama who passed away last week under some circumstances that, frankly, invite a bit of scrutiny.

Scrutiny that our legacy corporate media has very little interest in pursuing, but if Obama were someone else, they’d be falling all over themselves to do their jobs. (READ MORE from Scott McKay: Five Quick Things: The Unbearable Sloppiness of the Bidens)

Here’s the official narrative about Campbell’s death, courtesy of the ever-so-reliable regime media outlet CNN:

A former White House chef who was working for the Obama family was found dead Monday in a pond on the south shore of Martha’s Vineyard, according to Massachusetts police.

Tafari Campbell, 45, “was employed by former President Obama and was visiting Martha’s Vineyard at the time of his passing,” according to a Monday news release from Massachusetts State Police.

Campbell was reported missing early Sunday evening after going paddleboarding, police said.

He went “into the water, appeared to briefly struggle to stay on the surface, and then submerged and did not resurface,” an earlier state police news release said. Another paddleboarder on the pond with him at the time witnessed him go under the water, according to the release.

Massachusetts Environmental Police officers recovered Campbell’s body shortly before 10 a.m. Monday from Edgartown Great Pond, a police news release said.

Police used a side-scan sonar from a boat to locate him and divers from the department’s underwater recovery unit recovered his body, which was about 100 feet from the shore at a depth of about 8 feet.

In a joint statement emailed to CNN, Barack and Michelle Obama said they had first met Campbell when he worked as a sous chef at the White House. He continued to work for the couple after Obama’s eight-year term.

“Tafari was a beloved part of our family,” said the Obamas in their statement. “When we first met him, he was a talented sous chef at the White House — creative and passionate about food, and its ability to bring people together. In the years that followed, we got to know him as a warm, fun, extraordinarily kind person who made all of our lives a little brighter.”

“That’s why, when we were getting ready to leave the White House, we asked Tafari to stay with us, and he generously agreed. He’s been part of our lives ever since, and our hearts are broken that he’s gone,” the statement continued. “Today we join everyone who knew and loved Tafari – especially his wife Sherise and their twin boys, Xavier and Savin – in grieving the loss of a truly wonderful man.”

The Obamas were not at the residence at the time of the incident, according to police.

And it’s just sooooo amazing that this lightning has now struck twice in pretty much the same place:

The tragic drowning death of former White House sous chef and the Obama family’s personal chef Tafari Campbell over the weekend is sadly similar to the premature demise of another White House kitchen veteran.

Campbell’s death comes just eight years after Walter Scheib, who served as the White House Executive Chef from 1994 to 2005, was found partially submerged in a ravine in the New Mexico mountains on June 21, 2015.

The 61-year-old Scheib was first reported missing by his girlfriend on June 14, one day after he failed to return from a hike near Taos Ski Valley.

Scheib died from drowning, an autopsy later revealed.

The Culinary Institute of America graduate was appointed White House Executive Chef in 1994, after then-First Lady Hillary Clinton was wowed by his pecan-crusted rack of lamb at a West Virginia resort, according to ABC.

Scheib eventually became known for refocusing the executive mansion’s menu on American cuisine and seasonal ingredients.

That was a freak occurrence if ever there was one. But people look at the Campbell case, and, well:

The death of Obama’s personal chef, Tafari Campbell, a trained swimmer who drowned in a shallow pond outside the Obama family home while paddle boarding, is strange. What do you think really happened?

So much for the official narrative, which we were given immediately after Campbell’s death, that he couldn’t swim.

Is the guy in that video a great swimmer? Not really. Is he enough of a swimmer to make it plausible that he could survive in a pond of still water after falling off a paddleboard?

You would think so, wouldn’t you?

Now, there are things being said about this case that, upon further inspection, haven’t checked out. For example, there was a rumor that Campbell was found to have blunt force trauma to his head, and the Massachusetts State Police, according to the Associated Press’ “Fact Focus” piece on Campbell’s death, say that’s not true:

Massachusetts State Police and the state medical examiner’s office say there was no external trauma or injuries on Campbell’s body.

Dave Procopio, a state police spokesperson, also confirmed the 45-year-old Dumfries, Virginia, resident was not wearing a personal flotation device nor was he leashed to his paddleboard when he went under the water on Sunday evening.

In a statement provided Wednesday, he said the agency’s investigation and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner’s initial post-mortem examination have “found no evidence that the death was suspicious.”

Campbell was found in 8 feet of water; the Great Pond at Martha’s Vineyard where he was supposedly paddleboarding is, in most places, only 3 or 4 feet deep.

It’s a little strange that he wouldn’t have leashed himself to the paddleboard or had a vest on. Usually you’d expect one of the two. Especially if he “couldn’t swim.”

But, of course, the AP has that one covered:

Water safety experts told the AP that none of these factors would necessarily prevent someone from drowning, a tragedy that often occurs quickly and silently.

Some online are pointing to a video on Campbell’s Instagram account that shows a man swimming laps at a pool as evidence that the chef was an able swimmer.

Although the level of Campbell’s swimming abilities is unclear, Adam Katchmarchi, executive director of the National Drowning Prevention Alliance, said that even the best swimmers can and do drown.

For example, they may suffer a medical emergency that prevents them from staying afloat, even if they have an object such as a paddleboard to hold onto. Or they may find themselves in an environment they’re not trained to handle — like tides or currents — especially if they overestimate their strength and stamina.

Additionally, a pond is not necessarily safe just because it’s smaller and less volatile than other bodies of water. Murky waters can obscure hazards beneath the surface, and safety equipment or assistance are not always available nearby.

What’s more, Edgartown Great Pond is not all that shallow, as some online had claimed. Campbell’s body was found about 100 feet (30 meters) from shore at a depth of about 8 feet (2.4 meters), according to state police.

The pond has an average depth of 3 to 4.3 feet. But people can drown in far shallower water, so long as their mouth and nose are submerged, said Tom Gill, vice president of the United States Lifesaving Association.

“It doesn’t even take 8 feet of water,” Gill said. “It could take 1 foot of water.”

Two presidential chefs drown in eight years, and one foot of water is all you need to kill an expert swimmer.

Move along, folks. Nothing to see here.

Other things in the official narrative haven’t been very clear. For example, the “second paddleboarder” who supposedly called for help after seeing Campbell go under water? Not identified. But it wasn’t Obama, because he wasn’t home when Campbell died. Just like Hunter Biden wasn’t at the White House when that cocaine — the identity of whose owner we’ll never know, dontchaknow — was found. Until it was later revealed that yeah, he was. But they don’t lie to us, so stop with the conspiracy theories and “misinformation.” (RELATED: The White House’s White Powder Has Turned Black)

For another example, there are some items Jesse Watters noted on his Fox News show last week:

And then there was this:

That’s a nice shiner under that eye, isn’t it?

Perhaps we can take from these explanations we’re getting that Obama does a better job of gearing up to play golf than Tafari Campbell did to go paddleboarding.

When he couldn’t swim. Or could, but expert swimmers down in a foot of water all the time, dontchaknow.

What am I saying here?

Nothing.

I’m not saying anything.

Well, that’s not true. I’ll say this — we’re going on 20 years now when virtually no story being sold to us by the legacy corporate media or the Powers That Be has checked out at all. We’re in the middle of a long string of revelations that have the current president of the United States more or less transparently taking bribes from foreigners through his son, who essentially attempted to bald-faced lie to a federal judge last week about a bribe from a Chinese spy, and the ultra-corrupt Department of Justice spent the weekend actively engaged in interfering with a congressional investigation of these bribes.

But given all the inconsistencies and strange coincidences at hand, we’re not allowed to ask questions about Tafari Campbell.

Because “misinformation.” According to people whose credibility died of COVID three years ago despite a mask and a vaccine.

OK, guys. Whatever you say.
