Well you don't have as many people murdered as the Clintons have without learning how to cover it up.

In the last thread I asked for advice about porridge and after getting some oats from Aldi and trying some combos I'm really enjoying porridge and blueberries, thanks to all who gave me advice.

EDIT: 88... oh no!

It is kinda interesting how the headline and most of the article is from the perspective of the white british lady. The guy was detained for six hours but let's only talk about how she felt

My wife's application for IRL will be in about two years' time and god knows how much it'll be by then. We're already putting some money by. By the time we've got through this whole process, we'll have paid enough to the Home Office that we would otherwise have enough for a deposit on a house.

That unprompted is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. He could have been prompted by the fact that he was in prison and about to have his wrongdoings laid bare before the world. Or it could have been Jesuit assassins.

The guy who got off scot free last time with 0 consequences checking out before even attempting a new deal, no cameras, guards getting sent away due to maintenance? Claiming his last attempt was an attack?

I'd believe it was aliens before that.

All the conspiracies seem to revolve around him being about to name the Clintons/Trump/Netanyahu or something, which seems at odds with the idea that he could just walk out of there without any consequences like last time.

But him facing a consequence for the first time in his life is also a motive for prisoner suicide. Especially given that nonces are even less popular inside.

Yeah i'm back on my agressive bullshit but the unquestioning acceptance of so many 'coincidences' is a loving wonder to my brain. Like, if you want to argue that he killed himself, why not at least attempt some creative thinking and say he did it to gently caress with everyones mind?

We live in the UK, we've seen nonce cabals before.

He knew a lot of horrendous poo poo and would have exchanged this knowledge for a sweetheart deal. Someone bumped him for even being open to the temptation of such a deal.

We've also seen guards repeatedly and deliberately set up conditions for prisoner suicides because of everything from sadism to casual indifference, including tampering with equipment to cover each other's backs.

Does that count as 'prompted' or not? Because indifferent guards is more likely than Vatican ninjas, unless he was convinced he would face no consequences and somebody else believed differently.

Its possible to acknowledge that prisons are run in ways tantamount to crimes against humanity and to simultaneously recognise that claiming Epsteins death was due to this when he had knowledge of presidents and royalty's noncery is a stretch beyond loving armstrong.

If you buy the official story then yes I am calling you an idiot, because anything stronger I could use would get me banned quicker than Epstein got got.

Honestly it's a bit like the JFK assasination - it may have likely all been a coincidence, but the whole thing just seems dodgy with everything that happened.

there's significant difference with regards to the previous time he was tried in that they went much further with pursuing evidence and have a large cache of DVDs that incriminate a lot of people

which really doesn't affect the likelihood of it being a real suicide but does somewhat imply if he actually went to the trouble of storing and recording all that blackmail footage he'd probably want to stick around to see people go down with him

The official story that it was all a tragic accident and there was nothing that could have been done about the security equipment? No, but I don't believe that about over two thirds of prisoner suicides anyway

The theories about JFK are fun because the official story is dodgy as hell and seems full of holes, but then all the fan theories involving second gunmans, Vice President Johnson, the Trilateral Commission, Soviet mind control, etc. are even moreso.

The closest i'll allow to the official story is that conditions were made such that he had the opportunity to kill himself and that he was encouraged to do so via some sort of threat to something/one he cared about - that is not what I believe myself, but I can respect someone who came to this conclusion.

Without the threat? No, sorry, tell me in advance that this is what you believe because my time isn't quite worthless enough for you.

Everyone knows JFK travelled back in time to kill himself via the grassy knoll to preserve his legacy and stop the world from collapse.

There aren't really any good reasons to doubt it was Oswald that killed JFK. The magic bullet and all that is nonsense. There is some shady stuff though, mainly to do with Oswald's possible intelligence agency and Cuban exile connections.


The Kennedy conspiracy that I do like is that Sirhan Sirhan failed to kill RFK, who was actually accidentally killed by one of the cops protecting him.

Oh yeah I don't mean that it wasn't Oswald who killed him, more the whole thing about him being murdered soon after apprehension along with his involvement with intelligence services.

e: I imagine that if I were alive at the time I'd think that he was killed on orders of someone, even if in retrospect it seems unlikely.

And I think that's enough conspiracy theorising for me for one day.

Their readers always care more about the markets than ideology. They'll never back Corbyn, but they know (as many business leaders do) that Marxist economic theory is sound, and also the right are in full pants on head nationalist mode rather than sensible Thatcherite/Blairite deregulation mode, so that's pushing the FT further to liberalism.

The FT is a paper mostly for people who actually care about having a functional economy because the economy is where they keep their stuff.

So it tends towards more accurate descriptions of reality than you might expect.

I guess the conspiracy theory thing is a bit like that joke that ricky gervais thinks he made up, about an atheist just not believing in one more god than any given religious person. If you believe epstein was murdered by time travelling ninjas sent from bill clinton's biff tannen reality then you're not too much different to the nutters thinking that jetfuel can't melt steel girders and buzz aldrin is a big fat liar.

Personally I consider myself conspiratorially spiritual.
