But Don’t Let My Cynicism Get in the Way of a Good Conspiracy Theory
I know it is much more fun to run with political theater, but, most likely, the Mr. Epstein’s death was actually a suicide. I am not saying it is impossible that he could have been killed, only that such a result is unlikely given the facts.
Many of you will be shocked to hear this. Especially after a full day of the media going crazy about this story. But, it is my opinion, that this is a prison acting like it always acts, not a group of rogue agents carrying out a conspiracy at the command of nefarious but powerful actors.
Don’t feel bad, earlier today I felt the same way you did. When early reports suggested that Mr. Epstein had been on “suicide watch” and had committed suicide, that raised a lot of red flags for me. When I was incarcerated, I was on both suicide watch and kept in solitary for a short period of time. I have actually seen how this happens up close. When I was on suicide watch, I was held in a plexiglass cell, in front of a 24/7 observation deck. I was literally watched every second of every day. I wore what is called a “Bam Bam” suit which is designed specifically so that you can’t use it to commit suicide. I was given one “suicide blanket” again specifically designed so that it cannot be used in a suicide.
