American Government under budget and ahead of schedule for the first time in living memory and y’all are out here complaining.
Incredible.
Damn conspiracy theorists… just because CCTV didn’t have NTP enabled…
/sI don’t think they have any shame or fear of repercussions. At this stage, the law doesn’t apply to them.
Of course not and it never did, the law is written by them.
Whoopsie
Lmaooo as if anyone really doubted that he was killed… I mean come on people.
The only thing that makes me hesitate on that one is… Trump or the Clinton’s or whoever could have had him assassinated in prison, I don’t believe they would have gone through the added effort of keeping him alive. He’s gonna have a hard time sourcing kids now so why bother? Certainly not because any of the list of suspects values friendship or loyalty
Trump or the Clinton’s or whoever could have had him assassinated in prison
I’ll never understand the theory that Hillary Clinton - a woman who hadn’t held political office in over three years, had nothing personally to lose by Epstein yapping, and had no material contacts in the current federal government - managed to get this job done.
But Trump, the sitting President, with an upcoming reelection fight where he was underwater in the polls and surrounded by Epstein associates, was the guy who stood beyond repute.
Given the number of people Epstein touched, and the rank incompetency of both Trump and Clinton, I’d sooner put my money down on Thiel or Gates or even Prince Andrew as the mastermind. But dropping Clinton and Trump into the same lineup? Come on. One of them definitely had a bit more leverage with the fucking NY Prison Bureau.
Yeah it’s pretty far down my list too but I think the theory goes that Hilary wanted him dead because if he ratted on Bill then it would hurt her election chances. Plausible enough as far as motives go. Still, I agree that Trump is the obvious choice.

In 2019? Hillary was well past her expiration date by then.
It makes sense if he had a dead man’s trigger set to release a ton of files if he doesn’t refresh some timer every x days. Guessing that the x days after his arrest were approaching and he was obviously unwilling to trigger a refresh where they could see it.
I kinda suspect that his arrest might have been a part of the fascist takeover plan. Before that, it didn’t take much imagination to realize that it was more of a mutual destruction thing. If they expose someone, there’s a good chance they’ll talk about everything they know, which at the very least is that Epstein was running a child sex ring.
But his arrest changed the equation. Everyone knows about the shit anyone might try to tell them in retaliation. The main instigator is apparently dead while the other big name is fucking president. Also, the protection is more active, stopping information from being released rather than releasing information. “Work with us, we will protect you. Don’t and we’ll just let whatever happens happen.”
He was about to blow the horn, he became a liability.
only the right wing msm was framing that way, so rebuplicans believe it. even his multiple assasination attempts were more than likely staged. its also a very PUTIN-LIKE MOVE, he stages false flags all the time to gian legitimacy, or a distraciton.
Fun fact: Anybody can type any date they want into Word. They could have dated it March 15, 44 B.C., since that string of characters isn’t document meta-data. When I worked at a law firm, it was common to create a new document by opening an older file, editing it, and saving it as a new one. Quite possibly, the legal assistant edited an August 9th press release to create the draft, and forgot to change the date before saving. Further, this press release comes from the U.S. Attorney’s office, which is a different location, with entirely different staff, from the corrections center. It would make exactly zero sense to get the U.S. Attorney, much less the legal assistants, in on a conspiracy. Keep the number of conspirators to a minimum; that’s like Conspiracy 101.
There’s are a lot of odd circumstances around his death, but as evidence of something fishy, this is super weak.
I personally don’t know how the US government functions, but I know people that worked for various big insurance companies and they had a system in place with all the templates and things such as the date would be autofilled by it. I wouldn’t expect the US government to just have a random folder with random templates that they pick and edit in Word.
I know a guy who’s an attorney, and he’s worked for DoD, GSA, and SSA. That’s just how they do it. That draft press release is very clearly a Word document, and while Word has templates and auto-update fields, well, lawyers are not tech people.
Keep the number of conspirators to a minimum; that’s like Conspiracy 101.
That’s why I believe Bush did 9/11, but he kept it to himself. He didn’t coordinate anything. He just pretended not to read the “Bin Laden determined to strike U.S.” memo.
i’m trying to remember, wasn’t Barr running the US Attorney’s office? or was it just the bureau of prisons and the entire rest of the department of justice?
I agree. It’s not like they would leak that they would kill Epstein to the person drafting press releases…
This is 1000x more likely to be a clerical error or time zone thing rather than a conspiracy.
time zone thing
really?
The they also changed the cause of death after they found Epstein in his cell
I was going to post the same thing. I cannot tell you the number of times I’ve misdated a document because I used a previous document as a template and forgot to check the date.
am i the only person who had the foresight to make blank templates? that autofilled the dates?
I would say “you’d be surprised” but you evidently are also a corpo or ex corpo, so… no, you wouldn’t be.
Yeah, most of your coworkers are in fact devious, petty idiots.
Yep.
ex and ancillary, but yeah.
Well uh, as per my last email:
… sorry, lol.
Keep flaunting your Office skills like that and you might just land yourself a job in middle management if you’re not careful
I get what you mean but we’d need a couple dozen templates and updating them would probably not be worth the time. I’ve gotten in the habit of highlighting everything that needs updating or verification on the first pass.
seriously i took a few hours for a week at the beginning of my career to write out basic forms that i could use over and over, that would autofill. shit that would take an hour or two a client if i did it by hand. is this just attorney stuff to pad out billable hours or does no one else think that far ahead?
Scopes for all the projects are usually too different. I put together a checklist system instead.
His body was supposedly discovered on August 10 at 6:30am. Which time zone are you suggesting?
Occam’s Razor says that explanation with fewest assumptions is likely the right one.
Yeah, the Occam’s razor answer definitely isn’t that someone reused an existing document from the day before and forgot to change the date. That’s just unbelievable. It’s more likely that this was a premeditated murder and someone filed the paperwork a day early on accident.
Why not both?
Yeah:
- someone reused an existing document and put wrong date
- the camera observing his cell failed
- the redundant camera observing his cell also failed
- the remaining cameras that could capture something apparently turn off for 3 minutes every day (that’s apparently normal for security cameras)
- they accidentally removed him from suicide watch
- he managed to kill himself despite cells being designated to prevent that
- he was missing a cell buddy just for that night
- three fractures on his neck which are unusual to hanging
Each of them could be explained somehow through assumptions, but there are quite a lot of assumptions, don’t you think?
I would imagine that in 21 century, FBI would have system to enter such notices and it would populate it with current date, because why would you want to modify date if you aren’t doing anything shady?
The questioning about this article is less about whether he did or did not kill himself but more so whether the date error is evidence he didn’t kill himself
Even if we were 100% sure he was murdered, why would some lowly typist know about it in advance and pre write a report. Like obviously the admin is incompetent and left so many glaring holes but why would they tell a non essential person?
At the end of the day it’s basically impossible that he actually killed himself of his own volition but to say that a date error is proof of that is incredibly flimsy
it’s also plausible that, if it were a murder and not a suicide, everything was prepared the day before but they couldn’t go on time and had to wait a day.
there are a lot of possibilities. certainly a critical error is one of them. but if we’re going to talk about plausible explanations that isn’t the only one
Why though. Why would you prepare the document the day before? Why do you need to have it “ready to go”? There’s literally no logical reason to premake such a document. It doesn’t benefit the murder plan at all.
Did you just ask “why premeditate a murder?”
It absolutely 100% does make sense to do that.
It is called crafting a cover story.
Have you ever done something for one reason, but told people you did it for another reason?
Have you ever been in a scenario where you were considering whether or not you would do something like that, but realized you would need a convincing false narrative for other people first, before you considered actually doing the thing?
It very much benefits a group of people or an organization that is doing something lile this, to get all their stories straight, before they proceed.
… Or, the message was not drawn up by some random lowly typist, and was drawn up by somebody in a much, much higher position.
Not sure if you’ve ever worked in any kind of large bureaucratic corporation of other kind of organization, but that happens all the time, when somebody wants to specifically handle something personally, and also have the plausible deniability of ‘random clerk made error.’
The nature of bureaucracies is to a large extent that those best at establishing as many avenues of plausible deniability as possible, those who can set themselves up with the ability to throw other people under the bus… they tend to ‘win’, persist longer and get promoted higher in said bureacracy.
Them writing the report especially in advance would take away their plausible deniability and just bring more attention to the scene
The report had no urgency to be done so having it done in advance especially considering in a murder details could have changed seems pointless
Them writing the report especially in advance would take away their plausible deniability and just bring more attention to the scene
… assuming that it can be determined conclusivelt that that happened.
Which, it often cannot be, in a bureaucratic system that normally has some kind of subordinate to do those things of things, but where sometimes the superior person just directly does it instead.
So ok, you clearly have not worked in a large bureaucratic organization before, or … this would be very obvious to you.
The report had no urgency to be done so having it done in advance especially considering in a murder details could have changed seems pointless
This is just nonsensical.
The entire … thing here is a statement that was released urgently.
The entire contention is that it may have been so urgent that it was actually pre-planned and drafted prior to the actual event.
You are just entirely dismissing this possibility, to prove that this possibility did not happen.
I am not saying 100% either way that it was a clerical error or a premeditated construction.
I don’t know for certain either way.
But you are using very bad logic to argue that it was a clerical error.
I think you mean coincidences not assumptions
Occam’s Razor talks about assumptions.
If we assume that the goal was to kill Epstein then all those events can be explained together with that one assumption.
If those were just coincidences, it means that those mere chances happening independently and for each of them we need to make a separate assumption (the cameras just happen to broke on that day, the backup ones maybe broke last week, but they didn’t fix it, one of the guards who fell asleep celebrated his birthday until late and didn’t sleep, the other one couldn’t fall asleep last night because neighbor’s dog was barking all night etc a lot of assumptions)
You forgot the sleepwalking prison guards captured on camera.
… Why would there be a template of version of an existing document specifically dated to … the previous day?
As opposed to … just a blank date field?
You know, a template?
Did something else happen on the 9th, that required a document of this format to be drafted up?
Also… how often is such a template used, for a pretty uncommon, special statement to the general public?
Probably not very often.
Your argument is not very good.
You’re layering in a bunch of assumptions, adding more complex conditions that would have to be met, you know, the opposite of doing Occam’s Razor.
Clerical error then
Yeah, the cleric filled it too early. Didn’t want to work on Saturday.
Clerk, BTW.
A cleric is a member of the clergy (and typically the healer in an adventuring party)
Hmm yes but surely clerk is just a descendant of cleric right? It’s almost a contraction
It is actually!
Basically only the clergy could read and write, so they handled accounting and acted as scribes to nobles and the monarchy.
It split off in the like 600 years ago or so
Lots of words have unified origins. They diverge to allow 2 different concepts to be named. Calling someone a cleric still means something different to calling them a clerk.
However, a clerical error could be ambiguous. Likely as the term was less common, and so didn’t have enough usage to warrant divergence.
Yes, that would be more of an ecumenical error.
LAY ON HANDS!
Venus Standard Time
Bill barr you fucking idiot. 😂
Assuming he is actually dead.
moved onto another epstein ilsand, possibly paid by mossad.
oh it’s just a name. epstein island 2 is actually a peninsula
I too already have a long message about Putin’s death.
Yeah, can you get on with it please?
Multiple drafts. However the document metadata is shite.
Haters will say his suicide was staged
gr8 b8, m8
Haters of what?
pedophiles?
