the official story being he killed himself via MMA moves is actually pretty funny tbh
Wait, what? I haven't even given it attention. Are they saying he killed himself by putting himself into a rear naked choke or what?

No! I guarantee that nobody will ever just guess it, it took me years of research to figure this out. Im not really sure how much I can share without doxxing myself since I want to write a book about this in the future perhaps

GBS isn't ready for this poo poo and I'm not ready for them, and I refuse to leave my c-spam lair where the vibe is nice, and I'd rather chat with 3 people on the same wavelength than 50 quippy assholes who have no idea what I'm talking about.

Regulus74 posted:

(I agree that this would be a great topic for a thread btw)

I could just hijack the c-spam history thread, where they mostly talk about modern stuff. However, I think that ancient history is really a totally different topic than modern history, and I personally believe that it is worthy of its own discussion and would suffer if it's interspersed with random posts about the Russian Uprising of 1905 or whatever.

And since this is c-spam you can just make whatever threads you want, and nobody will really complain that it overlaps slightly with another thread that already exists somewhere on page 3, so gently caress it I will make a thread about ancient history now and post the link here in a sec

they literally built new carthage right where the old one was because they ruined the harbor at the nearby city of utica by over farming in the hills above the city causing silt to clog up the river and the site of carthage had the best natural port.
salting the earth makes little sense in the context of salt being expensive, the romans having killed, enslaved and shipped away any carthaginian that could ever benefit from things growing there, and the dearth of arable land in north africa. if it occurred it was likely ceremonial and not an actual practical program of desertification. given that the site became the second largest city in the western med and a major grain exporter by the first century it seems like any salting did nothing.
modern scholars feel that salting was added to the story in the 19th century as earlier sources only describe carthage being plowed over. romans often used the image of the plow to describe conquest and the ceremonial marching of captives under a makeshift ox yoke formed from soldiers spears was meant to symbolize the captive becoming a beast of burden to work the plow for roman masters (sub iugum = under the yoke = subjugate)

what's more interesting is what this article leaves out

it mentions epstein hogged the legal room for 12 hours a day, but omitted the detail that he was alone with a young woman for at least 2 hours in that room in what seemed like a conjugal sex visit

it mentions epstein had a fractured hyoid, but does not mention that epstein had other neck bones fractured

it mentioned epstein looked disheveled but omitted that his legal team before he died said he was in high spirits

The explanation I hear for this part is that he had been taken off suicide watch again and I guess that means he regained access to the noose and toaster bathtub room or whatever

E which is in itself suspicious, etc.

Officially, despite using his lawyers to be out of his cell 12 hours a day including some private time with a girl of indeterminate age, being imprisoned was just too much for Epstein to bear, so he used MacGuyver skills and superhuman strength to kill himself at the exact time the guards were slacking off and falsifying their schedules.

CIA at the behest of the conspirators or simply the CIA bc that’s what they do. the media manipulation campaign has all the markings of the CIA as they have such a total lockdown on the MSM

While one of the guards was having a bout of diarrhea, Epstein used a ketchup bottle as fake blood and laid down on the floor pretending to be dead. When the guard returned, he ran in and Epstein quickly got up and knocked him out so he could escape
