The Jeffrey Epstein case is notable for the ups and downs in media coverage it’s gotten over the years. Everybody, it seems, in New York society knew by 2000 that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were corrupting teenage girls, but the press wouldn’t cover it. Articles by New York in 2002 and Vanity Fair in 2003 alluded to it gently, while probing Epstein’s finances more closely. In 2005, the Palm Beach police investigated. The county prosecutor, Democrat Barry Krischer, wouldn’t prosecute for more than prostitution, so they went to the federal prosecutor, Republican Alexander Acosta, and got the FBI involved. Acosta’s office prepared an indictment, but before it was filed, he made a deal: Epstein agreed to plead guilty to a state law felony and receive a prison term of 18 months. In exchange, the federal interstate sex trafficking charges would not be prosecuted by Acosta’s office. Epstein was officially at the county jail for 13 months, where the county officials under Democratic Sheriff Ric Bradshaw gave him scandalously easy treatment, letting him spend his days outside, and letting him serve a year of probation in place of the last 5 months of his sentence. Acosta’s office complained, but it was a county jail, not a federal jail, so he was powerless.

Epstein was released, and various lawsuits were filed against him and settled out of court, presumably in exchange for silence. The media was quiet or complimentary as Epstein worked his way back into high society. Two books were written about the affair, and fell flat. The FBI became interested again around 2011 (a little known fact) and maybe things were happening behind the scenes, but the next big event was in 2018 when the Miami Herald published a series of investigative articles rehashing what had happened. In 2019 federal prosecutors indicted Epstein, he was put in jail, and he mysteriously died. Now, after much complaining in the press about how awful jails are and how many people commit suicide, things are quiet again, at least until the Justice Department and the State of Florida finish their investigation a few years from now. (For details and more links, see “Investigation: Jeffrey Epstein”at Medium.com and “Jeffrey Epstein” at Wikipedia.)

I’m an expert in the field of “game theory”, strategic thinking. What would I do if I were Epstein? I’d try to get the President, the Attorney-General, or the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York to shut down the investigation before it went public. I’d have all my friends and all my money try to pressure them. If it failed and I were arrested, it would be time for the backup plan— the Deal. I’d try to minimize my prison time, and, just as important, to be put in one of the nicer federal prisons where I could associate with financial wizards and drug lords instead of serial killers, black nationalists, and people with bad breath.

That’s what Epstein would do. What about the powerful people Epstein would turn in to get his deal? They aren’t as smart as Epstein, but they would know the Deal was coming— that Epstein would be quite happy to sacrifice them in exchange for a prison with a slightly better golf course. What could they do? There’s only one good option— to kill Epstein, and do it quickly, before he could start giving information samples to the U. S. Attorney.

Trying to kill informers is absolutely routine in the mafia, or indeed, for gangs of any kind. The reason people call such talk “conspiracy theories” when it comes to Epstein is that his friends are WASPs and Jews, not Italians and Mexicans. But WASPs and Jews are human too. They want to protect themselves. Famous politicians, unlike gangsters, don’t have full-time professional hit men on their staffs, but that’s just common sense—politicians rarely need hit men, so it makes more sense to hire them on a piecework basis than as full-time employees. How would they find hit men? You or I wouldn’t know how to start, but it would be easy for them. Rich powerful people have bodyguards. Bodyguards are for defense, but the guys who do defense know guys who do offense. And Epstein’s friends are professional networkers. One reporter said of Ghislaine Maxwell, “Her Rolodex would blow away almost anyone else’s I can think of—probably even Rupert Murdoch’s.” They know people who know people. Maybe I’m six degrees of separation from a mafia hit man, but not Ghislaine Maxwell. I bet she knows at least one mafioso personally who knows more than one hit man.

In light of this, it would be very surprising if someone with a spare $50 million to spend to solve the Epstein problem didn’t give it a try. A lot of people can be bribed for $50 million. Thus, we should have expected to see bribery attempts. If none were detected, it must have been because prison workers are not reporting they’d been approached.

Some people say that government incompetence is always a better explanation than government malfeasance. That’s obviously wrong— when an undeserving business gets a contract, it’s not always because the government official in charge was just not paying attention. I can well believe that prisons often take prisoners off of suicide watch too soon, have guards who go to sleep and falsify records, remove cellmates from prisoners at risk of suicide or murder, let the TV cameras watching their most important prisoners go on the blink, and so forth. But that cuts both ways. Remember, in the case of Epstein, we’d expect a murder attempt whether the warden of the most important federal jail in the country is competent or not. If the warden is incompetent, we should expect that murder attempt to succeed. Murder becomes all the more more plausible. Instead of spending $50 million to bribe 20 guards and the warden, you just pay some thug $30,000 to walk in past the snoring guards, open the cell door, and strangle the sleeping prisoner, no fancy James Bond necessary. Or, if you can hire a New York Times reporter for $30,000 (as Epstein famously did a couple of years ago), you can spend $200,000 on a competent hit man to make double sure. Government incompetence does not lend support to the suicide theory; quite the opposite.

"The case against Epstein was closed on August 29, 2019 after a federal judge dismissed all criminal charges" -- wikid.

What's with that?

Can't prosecute a dead person. The judge accepts that Epstein is actually dead.

Those who doubt might be interested in reading Comment #14 which comes complete with pictures. Portion of the comment here:

An intriguing 4chan post a few hours after Epstein’s ‘body was discovered’, says Epstein was put in a wheelchair and driven out of the jail in a van, accompanied by a man in a green military uniform – timestamp is USA Pacific on the screencap apparently, so about 10:44 NYC time Sat.10 Aug

FWIW, drone video of Epstein’s Little St James island from Friday 30 August, shows a man who could be Epstein himself, on the left by one vehicle, talking to a black man sitting on a quad all-terrain unit

Not everyone believes he is dead.

[William Mount said in a video in the last week or so that this poor guy was killed, but I can't confirm that. I was afraid that would happen when I first read it within a day or two after it was posted.]

Did those guards just fall asleep or were they maybe drugged?

all-terrain unit

When we worked Security at Woodstock 94, we had to be in there the first night since the gates were open and the crowd was coming in.

These three guys were drunk and got in the wheelchair potties that were fenced on three sides. They couldn't figure out how to get out, so they climbed on top of one of the potties and jumped the fence.

One guy broke his ankle. His friends were telling him, "Don't worry. We will sell your ticket."

I think that was the last time they could get an ATV in the place. LOL

I most certainly DON'T believe he's dead. The fix is obviously in and these beasts take care of their own. They just routinely accept the establishment's blatant lies -- no different than the day Jack Ruby got shot in his nifty new role as TC star.

Why not allow his victims to go after his assets? If I were them I'd be hopping mad!

WHY DROP THE CHARGES -- even if he is dead? Why not let them stand and disgrace his name for the rest of history? This is like letting Slick and the PIAPS off!

That is totally wrong of them. If they can pardon or exonerate a dead person, why not convict one?

There it is -- "a man who could be Epstein himself" on the island. Who was the first to say he was prolly back there? I was, right here as soon as his 'death' was reported.

Lots of luck on that one, girls. Two days before he was murdered, he changed his will and put all his assets in a Virgin Island trust. Now all the suits will have to be re-filed in the Virgin Islands and the lawyers involved will either have to become qualified to argue there or employ local counsel.

The time is evil, and it is getting worse and worse. Like the time of the flood, and when Jesus came, was crucified, the Christians persecuted, and Jerusalem destroyed.

Luke 17:26 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man: 27People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.…

www.biblehub.com/luke/17- 26.htm

Pulpit Commentary

Verses 26-28. - As it was in the days of Nee (Noah)... as it was in the days of Lot. The prominent sin of the antediluvian, he reminds them, was sensuality in its varied forms. The torch of religious feeling will have waned in that unknown and possibly distant future when Messiah shall reappear, and will be burning with a pale, faint light. The bulk of mankind will be given up to a sensuality which the higher culture then generally reached will have been utterly powerless to check or even to modify. Men, just as in the days when the ark was building and Noah was preaching, as in the days when the dark cloud was gathering over the doomed cities of the plain and Abraham was praying, will be entirely given up to their pursuits, their pleasures, and their sins. They will argue that the sun rose yesterday and on many yesterdays; of course it will rise to-morrow. Perfect security will have taken possession of the whole race, just as, on a smaller scale, was the case in the days of Noah and of Lot, when the floods came and the fire, and did their stern, pitiless work; so will that day of the second coming of Messiah, with its' bloody and fiery dawn, assuredly come on man when he is utterly unprepared.

Matthew Henry Commentary

17:20-37 The kingdom of God was among the Jews, or rather within some of them. It was a spiritual kingdom, set up in the heart by the power of Divine grace. Observe how it had been with sinners formerly, and in what state the judgments of God, which they had been warned of, found them. Here is shown what a dreadful surprise this destruction will be to the secure and sensual. Thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. When Christ came to destroy the Jewish nation by the Roman armies, that nation was found in such a state of false security as is here spoken of. In like manner, when Jesus Christ shall come to judge the world, sinners will be found altogether regardless; for in like manner the sinners of every age go on securely in their evil ways, and remember not their latter end. But wherever the wicked are, who are marked for eternal ruin, they shall be found by the judgments of God.

Now is not the time to give up on belief in God [Jesus Christ]!

…7and to grant relief to you who are oppressed and to us as well, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels 8in blazing fire. He will inflict vengeance on those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9They will suffer the penalty of eternal destruction, separated from the presence of the Lord and the glory of His might,…

Won't wash. Human history is an endless shit show -- 'a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing' -- with Christians often blessing and perpetrating the worst crimes in the known record.

If you were to really take stock of the total impact of the Christian countries on the world (not to mention the environment) you'd faint dead away. It's as if Christianity were scientifically engineered to wreak havoc, while making vain fools of its adherents. These are facts I've had to face bitterly -- I was quite the evangelist in my way till just a few years ago. I still play music in church on Sundays and pray to Him© because He©'s the least obnoxious deity I can find.... but that's a far cry from the brags he makes about himself all thru the Bibble (whoever she really is).

2000 years is too long. Hundreds of thousands of years of it certainly are. god is terrible at his job, or he's really satan.

from unlockingthebible.org

What Kind of Authority Does Satan Exercise?

Jesus referred to him as “the ruler of this world” (John 12:31), and Paul calls him “the prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2) and “the god of this world” (2 Corinthians 4:4). John makes a further distinction when he says: “We know that we are of God, and the whole world is in the power of the evil one” (1 John 5:19). These references leave us with the question: In what sense does Satan “rule” the world?

The Bible frequently uses “the world” or “this world” to refer to the present evil system of opposition to God. So, the Bible never teaches that Satan actually rules over the entire world, but that he is ruler over the current system of sinful opposition to God. In other words, he’s leading the rebellion against God.

The USG is the real perpetrator since it's used its immense power to rob them of justice. It should pay the victims everything he would have times ten for perpetrating this heinous fraud against ameriKa and the world.

Every member of the USG that hasn't loudly denounced it is guilty of treason or something. This pandering and protecting the arch-kike is another massive shredding of the constitution.

Christians are in no way blameless, that's why they need a Saviour, but a lot of stuff that gets blamed on Christians is committed by cults and cryptoJews. Take the Native American holocaust for instance. I JUST saw a comment in that regard you made to me the other day, and was about to reply when my computer wouldn't work. Been meaning to get back to it but it's buried somewhere in these 300 or so windows. However, here is but one of the articles I was going to send you on that subject.

Jewish Racism and the Genocide of American Indians

http://fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/government/native_american/news.php? q=1369148093

Furthermore, not only was it Jews who were majorly responsible for bringing the slaves to America, but it was the Jews who owned the majority of the slaves:

The church may be filled with hypocrites [did you see the story about the new pastor who first appeared to his flock as a homeless man, that Lod posted last week? If not, maybe he will post it again.], but you know what Jesus said, "Many will say to me in that day, Lord didn't we prophecy in thy name and do many wonderful works? And He will say to them, get away from me those who do iniquity. I never knew you."

[more I want to say, something that occurred to me last night, but have things going on at the moment and it will have to wait a few...]

That's a long, crude fourwinds article with zero sourcing. Jews were the main slavers way back when but your next link is useless -- the two references it gives (had to type the long URLs out by hand) say nothing about slavery. In any case slavery is only one small part of the picture.

And again you're talking theology, which has no real application in our kind of subjects.
