The interpretation of events most charitable to the authorities is that they were unable to bring the most significant criminal defendant of the century to trial and failed catastrophically to properly handle an obviously huge suicide risk.

I think it's near certain some shady poo poo went down, but it's just as plausible that he did himself with the deliberate support of the screws than that he was done in by an all-star team of Ezio, 47, and Punished Snake.

We don't need to go ballistic over the specifics because there is absolutely no interpretation of events here that leaves the authorities looking good.

Fwiw I do appreciate that the absolute meltdown that has consumed USMT the last couple of days has spread to our shores

Pretty much this. Whether someone killed him or he killed himself, someone hosed up royally, probably intentionally, leading to his death before the information he contained could get any further out.

It really does not matter if the pedophile died because they coerced him into killing himself and looked the other way while it happened, or if they just went in the cell and did it themselves. Those two scenarios are literally the same thing.

What I want to know is why you think that a direct killing would require impossible magic powers but an indirect one wouldn't. To take your own option B as an example how it could work:

prison guard turns camera off, goes in cell, kills Epstien.

There. That's a direct murder that takes the exact same resources as the "suicide" one.

You're not a stupid person and so you likely already imagined the exact scenario I described, but you have a posting disease and don't know how to safely back down. It's okay, you don't have to admit you are wrong, you can just stop posting and come back later when your shame dies down.

lol an actual Stalinist is accusing me of being a bad poster

The two scenarios you describe may require similar resources but that doesn’t mean they have the same outcomes - someone willingly killing themselves and someone unwillingly being murdered do tend to look a bit different in terms of injuries to the body or signs of a struggle in the cell.

The reason I favour the idea that a guard gave him what he needed for the deed and looked the other way is it’s a lot simpler to buy off a single guard than to suppress an entire high-profile criminal investigation.

That's literally not what Option B is though, outside of your characterization of it. Option B is that the prison guards were deliberately lax because they were either paid off or just plain don't care if an incredibly vile paedophile offs himself. You're acting like people are arguing he succeeded in an unpromted suicide attempt despite the best and sincere efforts of the prison staff when literally nobody is arguing that outside of liberals on Twitter.

[quote]In some cases, the Israelis visited locations not known to the public -- areas without street addresses, for example, or DEA offices not identified as such -- leading authorities to suspect that information had been gathered from prior surveillance or perhaps electronically, from credit cards and other sources. One Israeli was discovered holding banking receipts for substantial sums of money, close to $180,000 in withdrawals and deposits over a two-month period. A number of the Israelis resided for a period of time in Hollywood, Fla. -- the small city where Mohammed Atta and three terrorist comrades lived for a time before Sept. 11.

Officials began dealing more aggressively with the "art students." According to one account, some 140 Israeli nationals were detained or arrested between March 2001 and Sept. 11, 2001. According to the INS, the deportations resulted from violations of student visas that forbade the Israelis from working in the United States. (In fact, Salon has established that none of the Israelis were enrolled in the art school most of them claimed to be attending; the other college they claimed to be enrolled in does not exist.) After the Sept. 11 attacks, many more young Israelis -- 60, according to one AP dispatch and other reports -- were detained and deported.[ /quote]

It's 2019 and Trump is president, India and Pakistan are near open war, the US tried and failed to coup Venezuela, there is a concerted effort to prevent Jeremy Corbyn from becoming prime minister and almost all of the UK press is involved and there has been a massive paedophile ring operated by the elite for decades right under our noses and the only person that could spill the beans just turned up dead. I suppose you think the second Iraq war was based on lies made up by intelligence services.

I don't believe in ninja assassins or whatever you braindead loving loaf, I believe the nonce ringleaders death is related to the loving nonce ring.

I really don’t know how you can read “it’s likely a guard was paid off to give him the means necessary to kill himself and then look the other way” as something entirely unconnected to his paedophile buddies

the reason this doesn’t happen to the vast majority of people on suicide watch is that they generally don’t have hundreds of wealthy powerful people who want them dead in case they decide to spill the beans

“his enemies wanted him dead” and “he wanted to kill himself” are not mutually exclusive

This checks out being as the closest thing to an 'official story' is whatever Trump has tweeted about it before there's even been a verdict on the corpse, so they'd have to go one further. Or maybe 'the man in the hellhole solitary cell with the guards that didn't give a poo poo because Trump cut BoP funding killed himself' will become the wild new conspiracy theory because all the others are taken.

Some of the 7/7 conspiracy theories start to make sense when you look at all the evidence, like inspectors turning up unannounced and messing around under the trains, or one of the backpack guys having links to security services, but that's mostly because 'all the evidence' includes a bunch of random poo poo like sometimes people do just turn up places and sometimes parts just fail.

The problem with the idea of how you give Epstien the means to kill himself is that he then would have to do it.

Epstien was a narcissist with a massive amount of money and influence even in the face of his arrest. The last time they arrested him they gave him the lightest sentence for child rape. He got to go home on the weekends and come and go to work, and his work was pimping children.

He wasn't going to kill himself.

Whatever happened, the line that is most useful to the international pedo cabal is that he was killed but there's absolutely no way to prove it, keep both the suicide and targetted killing theories going.

That sows fear into the minds of any witness or survivor considering testifying that if they can do it to a well connected billionaire in a solitary cell and get away with it then they can do it to you too.

Like, I'm willing to believe it's actually a mossad thing piggybacking off the actual salespeople but :shrug:. I'm pretty sure the IDF doesn't send people to do overseas espionage and it said some of them were in the army as if that means anything. It doesn't make any sense other than they are draft dodgers or on vacation (and overseas leave is VERY hard to get). Oh the israelis lived in Fort Lauderdale? I wonder if that place is known for anything else? Like, again, this COULD be mossad, but it sounds super standard from everything I can tell.

e okay I read further it does sound like Israeli intelligence was piggybacking on the art thing which is very funny
