“During approach, the pilot reported runway-in-sight, and entered a circle pattern. Then, the pilot became incapacitated due to sudden cardiac death. During the turn, the plane's nose gradually dipped down, and eventually smashed into the ground. The plane broke up, igniting fuel which burst into flames. It was later revealed the pilot had high blood pressure, and neglected to report it.”

Staring around 56:25 Farmer actually goes into the timing behind Epstein's re-arrest. On her account the NYPD SVU was maneuvering to arrest Epstein because there had been a change in statutes that would have allowed them to arrest him. The FBI then moved in to take credit (and presumably exercise control) over the case.

Of course if he had remained in the custody of the NYPD then that would presumably mean he would not have been held in the federally controlled Metropolitan Correctional Center where he later died.

If you'd like a good dose of medical horror, look up spontaneous artery dissection. It's pretty much exactly what it sounds like, the (usually coronary) artery is weakened by high blood pressure and other comorbid health issues and it, sometimes combined with the aorta, has degraded enough that the surge in pressure from the next systole rips it completely open. other arterial dissections also happen, and even if it happens in a hospital the fatality rate is 50%

Can't get over how weird it is that a guy with Epstein connections just popped back up out of retirement to become Attorney General again.

he is also the same AG who helped cover up iran contra. you remember, the scandal where the Reagan admin sold weapons to Iran, used the money to buy drugs from right wingers in Central America and then sold those drugs on the streets of America. said right wingers were diligently killing leftists to prevent socialism from taking root. a fun side note is that the main Saudi arms dealer who was involved sold his yacht to Donald Trump, and a couple decades later his nephew was bone sawed to death in the Saudi embassy in turkey on orders from the crown prince of Saudi Arabia shortly after he had been visited by Jared kushner. said nephew worked for WaPo which is owned by Jeff Bezos. shortly thereafter Jeff announced that his phone had been hacked and his dick pics were stolen and blackmail was attempted. this led pretty quickly to him getting divorced. it later turned out that it was MBS himself who initiated the hack after getting Bezos private number while he was visiting the US.

Here's a fun little anecdote about the Roman Emperor Claudius' third wife, Valeria Messalina, who sounds a bit like a 1st century AD Ghislane Maxwell.

quote:

Some stories recounting Messalina's many marital infidelities are exaggerated to the point of undermining their veracity; nonetheless, the consensus from antiquity gives credence at least to the general rumors of promiscuity. (She was certainly not alone in this, as the many stories of decadence during the decline of the Roman Empire can attest.) Among the particular rumors which have followed Messalina down through the ages are that she solicited men in common taverns, danced naked in the Forum, and once bet a famous Roman prostitute that she could beat her at her own game; Pliny the Elder notes that she won the bet, "for within the space of twenty-four hours she cohabited twenty-five times." The Roman historian Tacitus mentions by name many prominent men with whom Messalina had relationships, suggesting that she was merely giving in to wayward proclivities. The fact that she monopolized the attentions of the famous dancer, Mnester, who could do her no political favors, argues for this interpretation. Cassius Dio, however, interprets her escapades as purposefully directed toward political ends. For instance, he describes her contrivance to involve many prominent women in a group sex session at which their husbands were in attendance. Those men who attended were awarded with various offices and honors through her influence with Claudius, but their actions also made them vulnerable, should she wish it, to charges of "pandering." Meanwhile, those who did not attend were undermined politically or destroyed.

The thing is in the decade preceding pre-revolution France tons of savage speculations did happen and at least one nobleman was sent to the Bastille to protect him from the death penalty he got from raping young flesh.
It's pretty funny the guy who wrote "look at those crazy peasants believing things similar to modern conspiracy theories LOL" don't look at what happened after they started believing in them and do not come to the conclusion we are going the exact same way for the exact same result. No he is like "Do not be like those peasant guys, all that did to them is allow them to watch the people they hated being guillotined".
