Americans embrace 'Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself' in rebuke to establishment
The Washington Times ^ | Thursday, February 13, 2020 | Valerie Richardson

More than half of Americans believe it’s likely that “Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself,” and that’s an ill omen for Joe Biden — and a good sign for Bernie Sanders.

Neither the former vice president nor the Vermont senator has an Epstein connection as far as anyone knows, but Mr. Biden is clearly the establishment candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. Mr. Sanders is the opposite.

And the viral meme that spawned countless T-shirts, mugs, bumper stickers and hashtags comes as a sign that voters are in no mood to trust their institutions, said University of Miami professor Joseph Uscinski, author of “American Conspiracy Theories.”

“Conspiracy theories at their core are about protesting the establishment,” said Mr. Uscinski.

A Rasmussen Reports poll last month showed that 52% believe it’s more likely Epstein was murdered in his Lower Manhattan jail cell because “he knew too much,” while just 21% think he committed suicide.

Those skeptical of the Epstein suicide ruling were also more likely to back President Trump, according to an Aug. 27 Emerson Polling survey, known for his four-year vendetta against the Washington ruling class.

“Trump supporters seem to be bigger into this than Democrats, but within Democrats, Bernie supporters seem to be the ones most likely to believe in it,” said Mr. Uscinski. “People who support Trump and Bernie tend to be more conspiracy-minded, anti-establishment folks. And that’s why they tend to be more taken with conspiracy theories.”

Mr. Biden’s poor performances in Iowa and New Hampshire — and Mr. Sanders’ strong showing — come as “Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself” fever continues to rage, albeit at a slightly lower temperature than in December, when ugly Christmas sweaters festooned with the phrase were flying off the shelves.

The only person on the planet who believes Epstein killed himself is Bob Barr, and after today that should surprise no one.

He certainly would have, had it not been for that pesky POTUS and his never ending TwitStorms.

Look
let’s talk about the cleanse a little bit shall we?

This is actually the very nascent beginning of when I start paying attention to politics I was hired as an engineer in Cape Canaveral Florida and heard both the G Gordon Liddy program in the Rush Limbaugh programs in around 1992

I remember Bill Clinton being elected and I was happy about it and then I came very quickly to understand that these were very gnarly and nasty people and then July 20, 1993 happened and they’re all buddy Vince Foster their lawyer for 25 years purportedly Hillary lover Shazam did in force Morrissey Park of a gunshot wound supposedly self-inflicted

I remember listening ardently to the G Gordon Liddy program as he absolutely cover describe in great detail and they’re taking of all the files out of Vince Foster’s office and his complete outrage of it having gone through Watergate and every little nothing over that nothing being Highlighted by the main stream mediaby the main stream mediaLike it was the end of the planet Dick Nixon was going to sabotage the entire world because his buddies picked a lock and got into the DNC headquarters install some files oh my goodness!

As we all remember this was the very beginning of the Internet I certainly wasn’t connected at all there was was talk radio but rushing open the door and it was fascinating to listen to talk radio is Bill Clinton took office and then committed major crimes left right center up and down and got away with absolutely everything and then despite all this criminality was reelected in 1996

Of course one has to wonder how the evil Hilda beast and her husband Billy boy who got elected to two terms could’ve gotten away with all the murder Mayham and everything that they did

And of course the answer is playing at Temple the main stream media didn’t cover any of it or in fact covered up for all of it

That was the real beginning of the main stream media completely taking sides and it is continued on it ever cents and it was especially over during the Obama administration with a guy couldn’t do anything wrong apparently

Now fast forward and we have the Bernie supporters realizing that the Clintons who cheated dear precious Bernie out of his nomination last time overtly right in their face are evil people

So now all we need to do is convince them that the rest of the Democrats are all evil two they’re all in line with that same thinking

Many of these Bernie Botts who include my dear precious beautiful wife are just ideologues did think that if they spell out the communist nonsense people will like them

We’re front of the workers!

The bottom line is is Trump is not only a very good man a good family man but also is very successful and savvy he’s television ready and he also knows what he believes I do believe that in this later part of his life he’s become a very Christian man which is a very good thing for his soul and the fact that he’s never had a drink in his life has also helped him tremendously

The bottom line is I think a lot of these Bernie Botts will vote for Donald J Trump after Bernie is once again cheated out of denomination and they put up a billionaire idiot like Blüm Fish

“People who support Trump and Bernie tend to be more conspiracy-minded...and that’s why they tend to be more taken with conspiracy theories.”

Now that is a sound argument if I ever heard one. Tautology much?

For all our despair over the yuge wave of young people indoctrinated and brainwashed to love socialism and who are now voting, I point to these things they were not taught in school:

UFOs and space aliens are real
and
Oswald did not kill JFK or act alone.

Now add Epstein was murdered to shut him up.

All this means young people can be re-taught the truth after the school system brainwashing.

I have lots of fun with this ‘meme’ - Epstein did not kill himself.

It has spread to my son and his friends. Whenever we are out in public, we place removable labels that have that quote. After speaking to several business owners who still have the stickers up, they say it makes customers laugh and have no intention of removing them. My son and friends have them on their phones and other personal items. They have no problem explaining to those who question the labels so that they understand.

My son was caught by his English Literature teacher of reading Thomas Paine’s Common Sense in class today. He just told me that it explains why he excels in his class while other students struggle.

Heaven forbid that we believe something that’s been officially Rebuked or Claimed Without Evidence. Please tell me what to believe, CNN.
