Welcome to the 21st century, American slaves of the Deep State and Federal Reserve. Get used to the power of your nobles hidden and overt.

So what excuse do you have now, Neo, of censoring that post?

The list must be getting pretty long now.

At the time, my understanding of the facts-in-evidence was:
– Epstein had sustained harm a week or two ago;
– That harm had been deemed possibly a suicide attempt, but there was question about whether it was or not;
– Epstein had been placed on “suicide watch” (about which, I am ignorant of the details; but I assume it means elevated regular observation and sufficient increased expense to the prison system that they don’t like to maintain it overlong);
– Then, he died of an apparent suicide;
– Normal procedure is to investigate any apparent suicide in a prison as a murder until it’s proven to be suicide;
– Persons in the administration of the prison would identify Epstein as an inmate under threat, as well as a potential witness of high-value, and thus make a conscientious effort to cross t’s and dot i’s with respect to his security;

So, the idea that he died of suicide while on suicide watch played a big role in my inclination to rank murder as the best explanation.

At present, the facts-in-evidence are being reported differently:
– He wasn’t on suicide watch;
– According to policy at that prison, he was supposed to be on suicide watch because it had been less than two weeks since some harm had been done to him which might have been a suicide attempt;
– According to policy at that prison, he shouldn’t have been in his cell alone, but his cellmate was moved elsewhere in violation of that policy;
– Those familiar with the prison system have been all over the news assuring the public (if “assuring” is the right word) that, unfortunately, the administration of prisons and the personnel involved regularly show a mix of incompetence and bureaucratic officiousness, refusing either to acknowledge circumstances requiring extra-careful treatment, or to properly execute normal standards consistently.

Given the above new information, I’ve shifted my probabilities as follows:
35% – suicide after an earlier failed attempt
30% – suicide after an earlier attack on his person
30% – murdered
5% – he’s WitSec, having been jarred into the precariousness of his situation by the earlier attack on his person, if that’s what it was

…and, the most important probability estimate of all:
100% – I don’t have enough experience of, or reliable information about, any of this to think I have a snowball’s chance of correctly estimating the probabilities of any of the scenarios above; consequently the probability estimates given above should be treated as entirely derivative of my lower G.I. tract.

Reminds me of Benghazi, “Stand Down, let them die”.

So many media fake news sewer boys and girls told gullible Americans that “no such orders” existed. Of course.

There are many ways to get someone to commit suicide, even before the advent of 21st century Monarch and MK Ultra technologies.

Americans are used to believing in conspiracies that the media tells them are true and disbelieving the ones “everyone” agrees is bunk.

Unfortunately, that stopped working once the online community began poking holes in fake news or as the Left called it, Faux News.

Yes it does. If I had to bet I might bet the same way neo would, that it was suicide possibly enabled by routine bureaucratic incompetence. But the point of my previous comment was that probability doesn’t cut it here, whether it’s 51% or even 85%. Anyone who was following this knew that the Epstein case had the potential to be explosively damaging to many important people. If the circumstances of his death are not fully aired it will only feed the growing cynicism towards politics and people with positions of authority.

Of course those circumstances themselves could make that cynicism exponentially worse if Huxley is right. But we are better off with the truth regardless.

Dnaxy: My stepfather was certainly a psychopath or a sociopath. He committed suicide after learning he had an incurable brain tumor. Otherwise, I’m sure he would have been happy to continue his merry way visiting mayhem on normal people.

Likewise, I can imagine Epstein committing suicide looking at an incurable life sentence in prison.

That said, I agree in sensible circumstances Epstein would have been watched hard, especially after his first suicide attempt or whatever that was.

Again, my bet is that however Epstein died, there was a decision by some prison officials not to get in the way. People may get negligent when they think no one is watching. But that was not the case with Epstein. He was the most famous and notorious criminal in the world at the time and he already appeared to be suicidal.

It just stinks.
