To: a fool in paradise

Striking, isn’t it, about the utter lack of curiosity among the “press”? I chalk it up to two things: first, they don’t want to embarrass their friends (remember Lyndon Johnson? After the JFK assassination, the press mantra was the the city of Dallas was full of hate and that killed him; no curiosity as to just how a USDA inspector looking into LBJ’s corrupt subsidy receipts “committed suicide” on his ranch by shooting himself in the back of his head with a shotgun; 24 years later, the verdict of “suicide” was finally changed to an unsolved “murder”. Second, I think the “journalists” are scared stiff of looking into anything that may cause them to suddenly drive off the road to commit suicide.

Jeffrey Epstein and ‘Whitey’ Bulger: A tale of two sociopaths
By Kevin Cullen Globe Columnist,August 15, 2019, 7:16 p.m.

As they committed myriad crimes and ruined lives, both men believed their own conceit, that they were not criminals but government assets. Epstein claimed he was an intelligence agent. Whitey was an informant for the FBI, but insisted he was only milking the feds for his own purpose.

Both men were allowed to engage in reigns of terror because the federal government protected them, for selfish, cynical reasons. The FBI used Whitey, even though he gave them little, to get the bugs they needed to take down the Boston Mafia, and in return helped him bump off anybody that might expose their sordid relationship, looking the other way as he murdered rivals and potential witnesses...

..After exploiting everything and everyone, making millions and, in Epstein’s case, billions, both men died as guests of the nation, with either the abject incompetence or sinister connivance of a government that once coddled them.

Whitey was murdered in a West Virginia penitentiary, after some people in the US Bureau of Prisons engaged in careless or malicious thinking, reclassifying him as healthy enough to move to a more dangerous prison, where gangsters from Massachusetts who didn’t like stool pigeons awaited. Epstein allegedly hanged himself in his New York cell, under circumstances that, like Whitey’s, seem so egregious that you’d almost think that it was a setup, that either the government didn’t care if he died or, if you’re partial to conspiracy theories, had a role in it...

AG William Barr removes Bureau of Prisons director after Epstein suicide
Aug 19, 2019

...Attorney General William Barr removed the acting director of the Bureau of Prisons from his position Monday, more than a week after millionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein took his own life while in federal custody.

Hugh Hurwitz’s reassignment comes amid mounting evidence that guards at the chronically understaffed Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York abdicated their responsibility to keep the 66-year-old Epstein from killing himself while he awaited trial on charges of sexually abusing teenage girls. The FBI and the Justice Department’s inspector general are investigating his death.

Boston mobster James “Whitey” Bulger was also killed on Hurwitz’s watch, in a federal prison in West Virginia last October, just after he was transferred there...

Sure. They get huge rewards for playing along with the Deep State, but they can see what happens to those who go off the reservation. O’Keefe himself is getting closer to being a real danger, and if he ever pulls this on a Deep State-connected politician rather than a journalist, an unsolved one-car accident may be in his future, too.
