Plutocratic propaganda outlet MSNBC
has just run a spin segment on
the breaking news that the medical examiner's determination of the cause of Jeffrey Epstein's death is "pending further information".
"Our sources are still saying that it looks like suicide, and this is going to set conspiracy theorists abuzz I fear," said NBC correspondent Ken Dilanian. "NBC News has been hearing all day long that there are no indications of foul play, and that this looks like a suicide and that he hung himself in his cell."
Dilanian, who stumbled over the phrase "conspiracy theorists" in his haste to get it in the first soundbyte, is a known asset of the Central Intelligence Agency.
This is not a conspiracy theory, this is a well-documented fact. A 2014 article in The Intercept titled "The CIA's Mop-Up Man" reveals email exchanges obtained via Freedom of Information Act request between Dilanian and CIA public affairs officers which "show that Dilanian enjoyed a closely collaborative relationship with the agency, explicitly promising positive news coverage and sometimes sending the press office entire story drafts for review prior to publication." There is no reason to give Dilanian the benefit of the doubt that this cozy relationship has ended, so anything he puts forward can safely be dismissed as CIA public relations.
When I
mentioned Dilanian's CIA ties on MSNBC's Twitter video, MSNBC
deleted their tweet and then
re-shared it without mentioning Dilanian's name. Here is a
screenshot of the first tweet followed by an embedded link to
their current one (which I've
archived just in case):
Up until the news broke that Epstein's autopsy has been unable to readily confirm suicide, mass media headlines everywhere have been unquestioningly blaring that that was known to have been the cause of the accused sex trafficker's death. This despite the fact that the FBI's investigation
has been explicitly labeling it an "apparent suicide", and despite the fact that Epstein is credibly believed to have been involved in an
intelligence-tied sexual blackmail operation
involving many powerful people, any number of whom stood
plenty to gain from his death.
So things are moving in a very weird way, and people are understandably weirded out.
The response to this from mass media narrative managers has, of course, been to berate everyone as "conspiracy theorists"."Jeffrey Epstein: How conspiracy theories spread after financier's death" reads a BBC headline. "
Epstein Suicide Conspiracies Show How Our Information System Is Poisoned" reads one from the
New York Times. "
Conspiracy Theories Fly Online in Wake of Epstein Death" warns
The Wall Street Journal. "
Financier Epstein's Death Disappoints Victims, Launches Conspiracy Theories" reads the headline from US government-funded
Voice of America.
These outlets generally match Dilanian's tone in branding anyone who questions the official story about Epstein's death as a raving lunatic. Meanwhile, normal human beings all across the political spectrum are
expressing skepticism on social media about the "suicide" narrative we're all being force-fed by the establishment narrative managers, many of them prefacing their skepticism with some variation on the phrase "I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but..."
"I'm not a conspiracy theorist but there are an awful lot of very powerful people who would like to see this Epstein thing go away. Is anyone investigating the guard on duty?"
tweeted actor Patricia Heaton.
"I am not into conspiracy theories. But Epstein had destructive information on an extraordinary number of extraordinarily powerful people. It is not easy to commit suicide in prison. Especially after being placed on suicide watch. Especially after already allegedly trying,"
tweeted public defender Scott Hechinger.
Journalist Abi Wilkinson summed up the silliness of this widespread preface very nicely,
tweeting,
"'I'm not a conspiracy theorist' is such a weird assertion when you think about it, the idea there's a binary between believing all conspiracies and flat out rejecting the very concept of conspiracy in all circumstances."Indeed, I think it's fair to say that everyone is a conspiracy theorist if they're really honest with themselves. Not everyone believes that the official stories about 9/11 and the JFK assassination are riddled with plot holes or what have you,
but I doubt that anyone who really sat down and sincerely grappled with the question "Do powerful people conspire?" would honestly deny it. Some are just more self-aware than others about the self-evident reality that powerful people conspire all the time, and it's only a question of how and with whom and to what extent.The word "conspire"
is defined by Merriam-Webster as "to join in a secret agreement to do an unlawful or wrongful act or an act which becomes unlawful as a result of the secret agreement".
No sane person would deny that this is a thing that happens, nor that this is likely a thing that happens to some extent among the powerful in their own nation. This by itself is a theory about conspiracy per definition, and it accurately applies to pretty much everyone. Since it applies to pretty much everyone, the label is essentially meaningless, either as a pejorative or as anything else. The meaningless of the term has been clearly illustrated by Russiagate, whose adherents react with sputtering outrage whenever anyone points out that they're engaged in a conspiracy theory, despite the self-evident fact that that's exactly what it is: a theory about a band of powerful Russian conspirators conspiring with the highest levels of the US government.
Their objection is not due to a belief that they're not theorizing about a conspiracy, their objection is due to the fact that a highly stigmatized label that they're accustomed to applying to other people has been applied to them. The label is rejected because its actual definition is ignored to the point of meaninglessness.The problem has never been with the actual term "conspiracy theory"; the problem has been with its deliberate and completely meaningless use as a pejorative. The best way to address this would be a populist move to de-stigmatize the label by taking ownership of it. Last month Cornell University professor Dave Callum
tweeted,
"I am a 'conspiracy theorist'. I believe men and women of wealth and power conspire. If you don't think so, then you are what is called 'an idiot'. If you believe stuff but fear the label, you are what is called 'a coward'." This is what we all must do. The debate must be forcibly moved from the absurd question of whether or not conspiracies are a thing
to the important question of which conspiracy theories are valid and to what degree.And we should probably hurry.
Yahoo News reported earlier this month that the FBI recently published an intelligence bulletin describing "conspiracy theory-driven domestic extremists" as a growing threat, and this was before the recent spate of US shootings got establishment narrative-makers
pushing for new domestic terrorism laws.
This combined with the fact that we can't even ask questions about extremely suspicious events like Jeffrey Epstein's death without being tarred with this meaningless pejorative by the mass media thought police means we're at extreme risk of being shoved into something far more Orwellian in the near future.

So far, I have not read of just how and by what means he managed to hang himself. Surely not an easy thing to do in a prison cell. After which the face is usually horribly distorted and sufficed with blood and as a Scott commentator pointed out,the eyes are usually bulging out.
Yes, he had to be done away with to save the others but not done to death.!His "suicide " saves the day for all. All that is needed now are some big distractions to distract the public who will quickly forget.

*My guess: AR-15, AND AK-47, AND Trump's and false/fake opposition NRA approval.

Which is, the enslavement of mankind.
I find it insulting that "The powers that be" actually believe that white people are the only ones who care about self defense(Gun rights). That's "the narrative" because most minorities live in inner city urban areas where the government strips of your rights and makes you dependent on The State.
Early 90's in the "hood" taught me something. Power comes at the end of the barrel of a gun & shooters respect other shooters.
My point being, not all POC are falling for the BS propaganda. Many of us can notice and see past the agenda behind "white supremacist" labeling, and the gun of choice always being an AK or AR. Its because those guns will level the playing field against a government gone rogue...Which seems to be the way most governments are leaning.
Maybe an agenda to consolidate global power(nwo/globalism) is the cause, but I'm just a nobody who knows nothing...
I beg to disagree.

If he's got nasty enough material on nasty enough people, the possibility that Epstein was sprung is real. I guess we'll have to see what comes out in terms of autopsy reports, etc.
Not that I necessarily think that's what happened.

The only part of your comment i found inaccurate was the "quite a lot"
I have it at near 100% true imho
I believe it was Op. Mockingbird where the U.S. Gov/CIA official records show that they wanted the MSM to Use the phrase "CT" and like the bad whores that they were and are, they did so, and per the above articles' facts, despite the CIA's omnipresent denials, it's quite obvious the MSM has NEVER STOPPED.
That's no conspiracy theory; it's into the realm of undisputed fact; but just cause the MSM doesn't like to talk about it - and therefore does not, likewise does not make their (MSM's) lies/coverup any less true - instead, these latest actiions, tooi, only prove the point even more.
But AmKants ...you know.

I am a proud "conspiracy theorist"

Now as to conspiracy theorists. I have no problem being called a conspiracy theorist as long as I can call YOU a coincidence theorist.
Here's the very definition of CONSPIRACY.
"US joins secret talks between Israel and the UAE targeting Iran.
[Link]
noun
a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful.
Yes, conspiracy happens often & in all walks of life. It’s not a theory.
