It has been six years since pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was murdered in his cell between August 9-10, 2019. To call his death anything other than a government financed effort to silence him from implicating prominent others on the political left and right is a disgrace to the victims. Such an insensible pivot from logic, to an unsubstantiated belief, tediously ignores the evidence on record, regardless of what his death was officially ruled as. 

It is important for us to take a moment to reiterate the facts of this matter. As it seems, and with the help of conservative news outlets, members of Donald Trump’s cabinet and their ilk are engaged in a full court press campaign that is designed to distract the public from discoveries in the unredacted version of the Epstein files, murderous ICE agents in Minnesota, and Trump’s failing efforts as President. To achieve this end, outlets like FOX News have given 24 hour coverage to the Nancy Guthrie disappearance, sprinkled with a dash of unfounded Trump-based conspiracies, political blame games, and falsities on how great ‘Trump’s economy’ is. 

In Europe, where Epstein was well connected, those named in the files on that side of the world have been stripped of their royal titles and forced to resign from high end positions, as each one’s name slowly pops up. What this shows has nothing to do with justice, but the shame and embarrassment people abroad feel that named officials in the U.S. are too opportunistic to even pretend to empathise with. 

THE OFFICIAL STORY 

The first time Epstein tried to commit suicide he was placed on suicide prevention watch. He was upgraded to observation status after telling mental health staff he wasn’t suicidal. According to reports, these staffers noted in his file that at all times he was to have a cellmate. A day before he was found dead, his cellmate was moved to another location. 

On August 10 2019, jailers Tova Noel and Michael Thomas discovered Epstein hanging from a bunk in his cell as they were passing out breakfast. Epstein’s body was removed from the cell, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI both investigated the matter and each came back with the conclusion that he committed suicide. Five days after initially listing his death as inconclusive, and without explaining why, the Medical Examiners office changed its ruling to suicide by hanging. 

Though the Associated Press tediously reports that Epstein died of suicide, other legacy media outlets simply suggest he died in jail. The former version of events is what has become historic law, under the notion that he committed suicide to abort the obligation of giving his victims justice. Nothing could be further from the truth. 

THE AUTHORIZED COVERUP 

Former New York Medical Examiner Dr Michael Baden expressed on an episode of OZ and during an interview with CBS 60 Minutes that the findings from Epstein’s autopsy, which his brother Mark hired Baden to witness, show that Epstein didn’t commit suicide, but was in fact strangled to death by another individual. (1) “In a hanging, the arteries and the blood vessels, the veins are both clogged off and the person is pale. The face is pale.” he told Dr Oz, while further suggesting “with a manual strangulation, there’s a back up of a pressure and the little capillaries can rupture and they’re best seen in the eye.” During this appearance, he showed Dr OZ a picture of Epstein’s ruptured capillaries and lack of a pale face. 

Baden explained how it is unusual for an autopsy in a prison setting to be changed from inconclusive to suicide. And how Epstein’s lower legs weren’t purplish or maroon like they are in suicide by hanging cases. Another key detail Baden pointed out to Dr Oz in photos taken during the autopsy was three broken bones in Epstein’s neck, which he said doesn’t occur in suicide by hanging.

The keys I used in determining whether he died by murder or suicide came from 1) examining the evidence presented to the public, 2) 17 years of experience in witnessing similar suspicious deaths, and 3) common sense. 

For instance, as Epstein lay on the floor during his supposed first attempt to commit suicide, he told responding staff that his cellmate tried to kill him, but later changed his story. This cellmate, ex dirty cop Nicholas Tartaglione, was charged in a 17-count indictment that includes mass murder and kidnapping. Yet staff felt it was in the best interest of security that he be housed with a high profile pedophile. 

After being upgraded to observation status, Epstein was moved to a special cell equipped with a surveillance camera inside to monitor him and was given a new cellmate. This, they say, was a measure to comply with mental health staff orders even though he told them he wasn’t suicidal, nor had he tried to harm himself in the past. 

Ironically the records show investigators never treated his cell as a potential crime scene nor did they identify what was supposed to have been tied around his neck. Instead they collected two items, claimed it had to be one or the other and eventually threw them away. His new cellmate was moved a day before he was killed (which could be false documentation or because there was no conflict) and the in-cell surveillance camera and every camera in proximity to the crime scene malfunctioned. 

In an attempt to hide these oddities from the public and to hush truth-seekers, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi released a surveillance video she claimed was of Epstein’s cell door. Since it didn’t capture any inmates going in or coming out, this was her proof that no one had entered his cell. The scheme was Mickey Mouse at best. 

Not only was the video she produced of a door that leads guards in and out the cellblock, that FOX News sold to its viewers. It was missing two minutes and fifty three seconds of footage and had been scrubbed with Adobe premiere editing software first. Bondi’s excuse about this during an oversight grilling was that after a year, part of the surveillance footage is automatically deleted because it loops back around. 

Despite this making no sense, everyone seems to have moved on or bought her excuse, which is why I think it is important that these facts be restated ad nauseam. 

To conceal their duty breach, Noel and Thomas falsified the security check logs to reflect that they’d checked on Epstein every 30 minutes during their shifts that stretched over 16 hours straight for one and 24 hours for the other. In reality one of the few cameras working that day captured them spending most of the shift sleeping at their duty post for hours at a time and surfing the internet for furniture and motorcycles. This mishap is what got them both criminally charged and fired, with the felony charges eventually being dismissed in a non-prosecution plea agreement. 

While Baden’s report is probative to showing that Epstein didn’t commit suicide, as you can see, it is not the only evidence I and other skeptics out there have used to come to this alternate conclusion. What it did do was reinforce my belief and the facts I used to draw the inference in a past article. (2) 

The following are questions that steered me from believing the official story that are, by design, still left unanswered. 

1) Why was an ex cop that was charged with murder, kidnapping, etc assigned to be Epstein’s cellmate? 

2) Why weren’t any of the surveillance cameras that could see inside and outside Epstein’s cell door working the day of his death? 

3) What evidence did the Medical Examiner use to guide him into ruling Epstein’s death a suicide? 

4) Why weren’t the fabrics found in Epstein’s cell examined by an expert or tested to see if his or anyone else’s DNA was on it? 

5) Why was Epstein given items that he wasn’t allowed to have while on observation status?

Unanswered questions like these should have anyone who truthfully believes Epstein killed himself, concerned about the lengths to which the powerful will go to keep their immoral desires secret. If a person like him ends up dead in jail and the head of the DOJ’s only response is to dupe the public by lying and forging evidence to fit the suicide narrative, this is a sign of corruption and coverups, not law and order. And this also raises the question: what other similarly situated people were killed in this scandal and in scandals of the past, and who’s next? 

Team MAGA and those in support of keeping the lid on the Epstein files may try to dumb down the event as a Democrat hoax and petty smear campaign we all need to move on from. But remember they were the instigators that opened this can of worms the Biden administration smartly kept closed. That’s because this is one of those rare glitches in world politics, where the veil of integrity has been pierced and it’s no longer about partisanship. It’s about misguiding an inquisitive people in order to preserve the status quo of the ruling class, regardless of how some of its minions behave when they think no one is looking. And this is something the public must not be distracted into moving on from. 

Of course there will be those on the left and right, like Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna, who will fight for us to advance in this matter like bourgeois puppets are supposed to. But even their reach will come to a dead end, because they in no way will ever engage in any serious struggles for power. To do so is intuitively contradicting to the fundamental laws of capitalism, which they are servants to and slaves of. 

Had Epstein been kept alive there is a very good chance he would have gotten a deal the victims were comfortable with, faded the civil suits,  gone to prison and we all moved on. But the number of prominent individuals who caroused with Epstein, as the newly released files prove, and what they communicated to him, was too embarrassing and career-ending for someone to risk becoming public knowledge. 

WHY KILL EPSTEIN? 

In order to suggest that Epstein was killed as part of a conspiracy to prevent him from implicating prominent others in a child sex trafficking ring, the information he had not only had to be valid. Merely putting their names in the mix would have to have a negative domino effect on the reputations of more people than the most powerful of the lot could throw under the bus. For starters the DOJ erroneously released, then removed from their website, a picture of Epstein in a room with boxes that had CIA stamped on them. This photo alone does not have a negative effect, but how they handled it assists in bringing the totality of what’s in the files to a boiling point. 

Following and in response to three million documents from the Epstein files being released in January, which is only 50% of the total amount stored, it is apparent that he engaged with more high class and powerful men and women than I expected. This includes a wealth of college professors, academics, members of foreign intelligence agencies, multiple owners of NFL teams, the crowned princess of Norway and members of performance arts, to name a few. 

In many of the released email exchanges Epstein had with some of them, a variety engage him in a manner where they acknowledge his ways, give him advice on how to worm out of his charges, thank him for a torture video, or schedule to party on his island after becoming aware he was a registered sex offender. 

Just in the U.S., as soon as the following people’s names appeared in the newly released files they conveniently resigned from their jobs. This includes Yale computer science professor David Gelemter, museum curator David Ross, former attorney and White House counsel to President Obama, Kathryn Ruemmler, and CEO of Wasserman Media, Casey Wasserman. 

This small portion by itself is reason to have Epstein silenced before he could cut a deal and talk.

According to the files and his own admission, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, whose name appears a ton of times and was Epstein’s next-door neighbor in New York, was invited to his island in 2012. Not only did he take Epstein up on this offer, Lutnick brought his children, wife and nanny. In 2014 he got back in touch with Epstein to make a business deal. 

He initially lied about his relationship with Epstein on a podcast, claiming to have only visited his New York mansion once before Epstein’s jail sentence. The experience, he said, was too creepy to continue communicating with him and he ended the relationship then. 

The name of Dr Mark Tramo, a neurologist at UCLA, came up in an email exchange he had with Epstein. Though he claims his connection with him was always rooted in cultivating donations, as Epstein’s jail term came to an end, Tramo sent him an email stating “only 13 days to go, buddy!!!!-where and when’s the party?” After this email came up he told the Associated Press he didn’t know Epstein’s crimes involved underage girls until years later. 

So as you can see there is a pattern of politicians and others in the U.S. that continued to engage with Epstein after he registered as a sex offender and most likely lied about knowing because the consequences are beyond being shamed. They can be career-ending, or in Epstein’s case – something to die for. 

While the Trump administration is trying to cover up the scandal, the governments in the United Kingdom and throughout Europe are beginning to open up investigations, which include Americans and Epstein’s connection to their intelligence agencies. 

Recently the UK Ambassador to the U.S. resigned after files surfaced showing he gave Epstein a heads up on the government’s response to the EU debt crisis before it happened. This is in lockstep with the Prime Minister of Slovakia’s National Security Advisor resigning after his name appeared. 

Thorbjrn Jagland, who headed the Norwegian Nobel committee from 2009-16, is one example. He and Terje Rod-Larsen, a Norwegian diplomat who introduced Epstein to Jagland, were charged in Norway with “aggravated corruption” after their names appeared. Evidence suggest Epstein, with the knowledge of Steve Bannon, Richard Branson, Larry Summers and Bill Gates, was involved in attempting to lobby the Nobel Peace Prize. In a 2018 email exchange found in the file between Epstein and Bannon, Epstein writes “donalds head would explode if he knew you were now buds with the guy who on Monday will decide the nobel peace prize.” 

Trump has a lot more to worry about. His name appears thousands of times, with damning allegations in reports that weren’t supposed to have been released. Such as him supposedly slapping a thirteen-year-old girl for biting him while she performed oral sex, and raping children. In one FBI report a police Chief told them that Trump called him after Epstein’s first arrest, thanked him for finally catching him and admitting that he and others already knew Epstein was raping children. 

True or not, the fact that governments throughout the world are responding to one man Trump insists no one cares about, is proof enough that the files hold weight. What made Epstein so charming to so many rich and powerful people was his availability, skewed sex life, a secret platform they could use to walk on the wild side, and connections to other like-minded people, where their interests could be shared, profited off of, invested in and expanded. 

So to those that still believe Epstein killed himself and the content of the files are made up, just take a look around; the aftermath is real.
