    This is American fascisms version of “died by falling out of a window”. They’re making it obvious they can disappear you if you become a problem for them; maybe even implicate you in CP to destroy your life before they take your life.

    The fact that D’s refused to release any of this strongly indicates Epstein island was an intelligence honeypot. How does the west feel about their “democracies” secret police enabling and protecting pedophiles as part of intelligence gathering and information warfare? That would be worse than any common war crime IMO.

      It’s not unrealistic that a billionaire staring down the rest of his life in prison would choose to go out on their own terms. It’s also ultimately unknowable for any of us normies exactly what went down in that cell, but don’t discount the possibility that he simply chose to off himself rather than deal with all of the unpleasantness he had to look towards

        I’m more inclined to believe it was a least awful choice. He was a billionaire. Even with all the proof against him, he was never going to be in a normal prison. He killed himself because he had dirt on someone who had keys to the box they were going to put him in and dying on your own was a hell of a lot better than what they might do.

          Nah, if I was a criminal, I’d try to drag everyone down with me before I die, I mean, either you suceed, or die trying. Why would I, as a (hypothetical) criminal with no morals end myself earlier?
