Do what they want, until they end up hanging from a jail house ceiling?

I find it somewhat uncomfortable Posting a comment that might seem pro rich, and he did initially get away with minimal penalties, but you didn’t exactly pick the poster boy for Unlimited impunity.

Well it's all pretty muddy, but so far i think Epstein was expendable. As i just wrote there are a myriad of links to "intelligence" and a larger structure.

If people are interested go to the Epstein subreddit take deep dive - most likely it was a classic honeypot operation to blackmail high ranking politicians for political gain or for some industrial complex - not a lone wolf with a back story that makes no sense in isolation, suddenly getting rich without anyone knowing why.

Two conspiracy theorist die and go to heaven. At the pearly gates they are let in and allowed to ask god one question. They ask him, about the Epstein suicide, and god replies “no my sons, there was no conspiracy, it was in fact suicide”

The conspiracy theorists turn to one another and remark, “This goes even higher than we thought”

It's a super gray area i agree, and people can become obsessed with "patterns".

I personally find it interesting like i find the Snowden revelations interesting, or the Wikileaks implications or geopolitics in general.

I started majoring in history before going into tech so i don't personally find any of these "conspiracies" fringe or stupid seen in a historical context of for example US intelligence organisations throughout the 20's century - obviously non organic campaigns like qAnon is something completely different but this info is from classic journalism.

But i can see that those top-down campaigns has really turned people away from even the slightest deviation of the "official narrative" now, so well, qAnon and other psyops really are working - there is only the mainstream, and the idiots left.
