A little review of the incredible coincidences that led to Epstein's death by <i>suicide</i><p>- When Epstein was placed in the Security Housing Unit (SHU), the jail informed the Justice Department that he would have a cellmate and that a guard would look into the cell every 30 minutes. These procedures were not followed on the night he died.<p>- On August 9, Epstein's cellmate was transferred, and no replacement was brought in.<p>- The evening of his death, Epstein met with his lawyers, who described him as "upbeat".<p>- CCTV footage shows that the two guards failed to perform the required institutional count at 10:00 p.m. and recorded Noel briefly walking by Epstein's cell at 10:30 p.m., the last time the guards entered the tier where his cell was located.<p>- Through the night, in violation of the jail's normal procedure, Epstein was not checked every 30 minutes.<p>- The two guards assigned to check his cell overnight, Noel and Michael Thomas, BOTH fell asleep at their desk for about three hours and later falsified related records.<p>- Two cameras in front of Epstein's cell also malfunctioned THAT night.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Jeffrey_Epstein#:~:text=After%20prison%20guards%20performed%20CPR,was%20a%20suicide%20by%20hanging" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Jeffrey_Epstein#:~:te...</a>.
I think this headline is subtlety misleading. From the article:<p>>>> “William Burns, director of the Central Intelligence Agency since 2021, had three meetings scheduled with Epstein in 2014, when he was deputy secretary of state, the documents show. They first met in Washington and then Mr. Burns visited Epstein’s townhouse in Manhattan.”<p>It implies Epstein was meeting with the CIA chief, when the actual revelation was that he was meeting with the Secretary of State (which is probably equally noteworthy)
Next time you attack a "conspiracy theory", look back at how many years passed from first mention of Epstein to a final admission...all the while, people who spoke out were derided as cranks.
Whitney Webb shows how deep the corruption goes in her two volume book "One Nation Under Blackmail". Glenn Beck's interview with Whitney is the best one I've watched. Disheartening and aggravating to listen to but it reinforces the suspicion that we are all being lied to on a grand scale. She also talks about circumstantial evidence that Epstein was working for or with the CIA.<p><a href="https://youtu.be/w-d3jFIGxdQ" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/w-d3jFIGxdQ</a>

There is nothing of news interest here except the WSJ doing the story.<p>The story itself is the only real story.<p>Who got this story done? What is the goal? Who is being thrown under the bus and who isn't? Is it anticipatory misdirection because something else is about to come out and can't be controlled?<p>etc etc
There's something satisfying about seeing Chomsky on this list after he spent 2021 saying that people who didn't take the COVID shots should be removed from society and left to fend for themselves in obtaining food.
Who else wants to believe that the current CIA Chief and the then Deputy Secretary of State, just took a meeting with a guy, scratch that multiple meetings without knowing anything about him? These people are in constant danger of being honey trapped, recruited, entrapped and they take the usual measures that are commonplace in dealing with strangers but all these fell by the wayside with Epstein.<p>The exact same script can be repeated for the person who is now Goldman's Chief Counsel and was the counsel at the White house. He was making her travel arrangements and we are told they are just casual acquaintances.
I assume some of the meetings implied were for 'work business', it's rare that someone is so well connected without external help (incentive and actual help)<p>Take it as you will
I keep seeing memes about Epstein's island, the lists, and generally a claim that no one has gone to jail who were on the lists, etc. I dismissed that for a while as just the Internet, but now this in the Wall Street Journal does have me wondering: A rich guy trafficked young girls to a private island which were visited by a lot of rich and powerful people.<p>.. Why hasn't someone been arrested yet??
I can imagine the CIA being very interested in what went on on Lolita island, it wouldnt surprise me at all if it was a giant honeypot that that used to gather intelligence on prominent people.
The whole situation is bizarre.<p>Very large number of politicians from all sides including Trump and Clintons, royalties like prince Andrew of UK, academia like MIT Media lab, business and tech tycoons like Bill Gates and Elon Musk were exposed to be involved with a guy proven to be a pedophile and supplier who conveniently died under the supervision of the law enforcement. Now we have the CIA chief. Not to mention the endless scandals among the religion power figures and institutions.<p>And yet, it's the "plebs" who are to lose their right to privacy to "save the children". At least we have the Reddit poweruser and Epstain colaborator Ghislaine Maxwell alive and in custody, I guess.<p>Maybe we should have open access to all communications of people with power?<p>I guess it's not a popular opinion.
"The documents don’t reveal the purpose of most of the meetings. The Wall Street Journal couldn’t verify whether every scheduled meeting took place."
The guy was on suicide watch, then a phony autopsy indicated that he "committed suicide", and the video for the event went missing. The guy also had tons of dirt on important people.
