With Jeffrey Epstein’s Death, Conspiracy Theories Have Officially Gone Mainstream
Rolling Stone ^ | 8/12/2019 | EJ DICKSON

Posted on 08/12/2019 4:26:03 PM PDT by TomServo

In the era of Trump, Big Tech, and the virulent spread of misinformation, it’s hard not to feel like we’re moving closer and closer toward a post-truth dystopia where facts have officially taken a backseat to incendiary or politically divisive theory. Last Saturday, however, arguably marked a turning point in the evolution of fake news, a moment when the mainstreaming of misinformation sprang from mere hypothetical to verifiable reality.

You read it here first:

Here’s the deal. Everyone in gov’t wanted Epstein dead.

For his defense he was going to say he was a CIA operative and was used to setup people with compromising photos. Then they would use those photos to extract favors later. Epstein would put on the stand former CIA directors and agents. No way the deep state would allow that to go to trial so they would drop the charges instead.

There are two camps in gov’t now that he’s dead.

Group 1: They want to get some more of the pervs exposed. Now that Epstein was murdered (or allowed to kill himself) the deep state doesn’t have to worry about their secret blackmail plan being revealed.

Group 2: Those that want to continue to cover up for the pervs and hopefully get more power from it. Continue the blackmail. Also in this group are those that are guilty and want to keep it a secret.

I suspect Bob Barr is in group 1. He’s glad Epstein is dead because he couldn’t allow a trial to occur and expose the CIA for blackmailing politicians. This may go back as far as first Bush presidency. Many of his friends will get caught up in that exposure. However, he still does want to nail the pervs.

This analysis brought to you by Rolling Stone

Does the man have a deeply concealed sense of irony?

Could also be Mossad with other agencies’ acquiescence.

Everyone’ theory can be wrong, but there is only one version of the truth.

With Jeffrey Epstein’s Death, Conspiracy Theories Have Officially Gone Mainstream

From the same exact people who just spent more than two years screaming that the President of the United States conspired with the leader of Russia to steal the election based on zero evidence except for some fake evidence fabricated by the opposition party.

Switch CIA for Mossad and I agree with your assessment.

Its weird how the supposedly “counter-culture” Rolling Stone is now a voice for the deep state.

Like many other media outlets - almost no one subscribes to the magazine, and it should have disappeared decades ago - but it is somehow kept alive as a propaganda outlet

That’s a good thing. According to the FBI that makes all Americans potential domestic terrorists. All of us.

Good luck investigating everyone! lol

Anyone here actually seen the body in person, or are we just believing that he committed suicide, because they told us he did?

Rolling Stone, the fake news rag that said there are widespread campus rapes at University of Virginia.

The FBI’s timing in labeling conspiracy theories as terrorism was simply exquisite. The FBI must see the whole country as terrorist now.
