Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
The case just isn’t cooperating with the whole “suicide” narrative. – The Washington Post reported last night that the autopsy of human trafficking pedophile Jeffrey Epstein found “multiple broken bones” in his neck.
That was revealed in the story’s opening paragraph. The Post of course spends the rest of this 25-paragraph piece doing everything it can to continue to prop up the “suicide” narrative. The fake newspaper’s writers and editors do this by carefully focusing only on the broken hyoid bone, which is a part of a man’s Adam’s Apple. The piece never again even mentions the fact that “multiple” bones were broken, nor does it specify which bones those might be. It’s as if that word, “multiple”, has no meaning and is to be ignored.
The writers and editors focus on the hyoid bone because it has been found to have been broken in a small percentage of actual, real hanging cases. The problem here is that, even if the official narrative is to be believed, Epstein could not have really “hanged” himself in the traditional sense of that word. In an actual hanging, the victim would be found dangling with his feet off the ground from a rope that had been strung through a light fixture or otherwise attached to the ceiling of the cell.
Big problem: Epstein’s cell had no means of doing that. The official narrative claims he hanged himself using a sheet he strung through the rail of the top bunk, which sits barely 5 feet off the floor. The narrative contends he then got on his knees and slowly strangled himself using that sheet around his neck. Now, the Washington Post wants you to believe that he was able to kneel forward with such force that he not only strangled to death, but he also broke not only his hyoid bone, but also “multiple” bones in his neck in doing so.
How did he do all of that? How did he maintain that intense pressure on his neck – which would have required an intense physical effort – without the human “will to live” impulse kicking in? Did he somehow bind his hands to prevent that from happening? If not, how did he maintain that intense effort until he actually expired?
The most unintentionally hilarious part of the Post’s article is the claim that the autopsy report has created “deepening questions around his death.” The problem our society has is that no one at the Washington Post or 99% of our mainstream news media is asking those questions.
There is no demand emanating from the halls of the Post or the New York Times or CNN or MSNBC or any other major “news” organ in America for Attorney General William Barr or FBI Director Christopher Wray or even for whatever moron heads up the Bureau of Prisons to hold a press conference and give our intrepid public watchdogs in the press a full accounting of the progress of the case. They’re all too busy obsessing over Beto O’Rourke’s latest re-boot of his campaign and Bernie Sanders’ interview with Cardi B to be worried about any of that.
The problem, of course, is that our fake news media organs have invested the last three years covering up for the seditious actions of the Obama-era FBI and DOJ, in the process building a narrative that these federal agencies are to always be trusted and can do no wrong. They’ve spent the last three years trying to brainwash the public to take whatever the likes of James Comey and Peter Strzok and Andrew McCabe and Rod Rosenstein have to say as the gospel truth – even going so far as to hire the disgraced McCabe as a paid contributor at CNN – and as a result, it has become incredibly hard to now just turn on a dime and express some healthy skepticism about the veracity of the official narrative.
In other words, once a news agency has willingly turned itself into a government lapdog, it’s pretty hard to un-train that behavior. Maybe impossible.
And so we get reports like this one from the Washington Post.
That’s where we are in our society today.
That is all.
When TRUTH discombobulates their official newspeak narrative, the Ministry of Truth usually jumps to ad hominem attacks and other fallacies of logic.
Could he have dived off the top bunk?
I don’t know about broken bones, but I know firsthand that you can “hang” yourself without your feet ever leaving the floor. It only takes 15-30 seconds to cut off the blood supply and pass out with your feet still touching the floor. How do you think people accidentally kill themselves by erotica-asphyxiation?
If Epstein had somehow cleanly committed suicide then the camera records of that event would have been published around the world by now.
Instead of which, we have - what we have. A clumsy story about guards taking naps and switching the cameras off.
“Instead of which, we have - what we have. A clumsy story about guards taking naps and switching the cameras off.”
I love a good conspiracy theory as much as the next guy, but according to all reports, there was no camera in the cell, so that particular dog won’t hunt.
When something like this happens, I try to ask myself if there is a way it could have happened and the answer to this one is obvious. Yes, he could have killed himself and broken multiple neck bones without any intervention by a second party.
There are plenty of unanswered questions. Guards sleeping for three hours without being noticed at a high security jail has yet to be explained.
As good as the argument is laid out here, we don’t have any of this official information.
So to conclude anything at this point is premature. Wait, until the full details are released.
Then let the analysis follow the evidence.
They seem to think if they keep pushing the incompetence angle hard enough it will take. It probably will. When players on both sides of the deep state want you dead you are doomed.
Gee, the massively muscled ex-cop drug murderer cellmate could easily have done that. But, they claim they moved him out the night before Epstein killed himself.
Timing is everything.
“The Epstein death has demonstrated: a) that AG Barr is incompetent...”
It’s rather fascinating how people think AG Barr is omnipotent and can see into every jail cell in America and 24-7 no less.
Even with those superpower skills, he has to be AG of the US too.
Quite the job for the pay. SMH.
Break my neck once... shame on me.
Break my neck several times... shame on you.
We will only really know if he is dead (not being held at a military prison somewhere, like Ramstein AFB, per German ham radio reports), if the DOJ files motions with the Courts to release all of the remaining material that could have been protected by Epstein’s claims of privilege.
The standard drop and long drop hanging methods are supposed to to break the spinal cord, but not decapitate, and not allow death by strangulation. It’s pretty scientific.

Yeah, I’m not doing that conspiracy stuff “per German ham radio reports.”
I’ll bet Barr wasn’t involved that way.
Interestingly enough there was a guy who strangled his wife to death and tried to make it look like she was choked to death by a rope.
The Hypoid bone was broken which proved that a thumb had been used to quiet her while he strangled her. Jeffery's Hypoid bone was broken too.
The sheets are made from paper, specifically designed to easily tear in order to prevent this exact scenario.
Try again.
Yep. On Sunday morning, you can expect Chuck Todd to come out with the “facts” about this, and condemn anyone who might doubt them (especially POTUS). He will ridicule anyone who suggests there is more to the story.
Agree. Plus I’d be looking for the guy who was walking around the cell block with a military uniform on.
I logged on to FR this morning hoping there would be some discussion of the unidentified “associate” who claimed his body from the medical examiner yesterday. So far, haven’t been able to find anything. I’ll keep looking.
