Epstein and the Public Loss of Faith

The death of Jeffrey Epstein in the MCC federal jail has touched off no end of speculation. While the medical examiner’s conclusion indicating it was suicide has been made public, the report itself has not been released. Many don’t believe it. In many ways Epstein’s death reminds me of Sherlock Holmes’s mystery “Adventure in a Sealed Room” where a trained monkey was the culprit after lots of clues were sifted through. An online friend “Rocco,” a prison guard, agrees with me. He’s seen too much of this himself and knows how quickly and easily prisoners have killed themselves in locked rooms even when -- as is not the case here -- guards were making their assigned rounds.

At heart I believe there was a great chance of a long, ugly trial during which Epstein would not be released out on bail and a lifetime sentence would follow. A lifetime in which he would be miserable and full of apprehension. He had flown close to the stars in years of great luxury and pleasure and that was all going to go away. Even if he beat the rap, his associates had finally pulled away from him, and there is no likelihood the glitterati would ever welcome him back or that the money he somehow amassed would continue to flow his way.

It’s true after SpyGate and its unraveling people have a heightened suspicion of law-enforcement institutions. Crime series on TV and movies have given viewers a distorted view, in my opinion, of how criminal law works and how quickly bad actors can be brought to justice. And then there is a lost prospect of a trial sure to appeal to prurient interests and the anticipation that whichever political figure you most hate will be exposed.

“...The USA gave up its role as world leader—and became a servant of the true world leaders—in 1913:

After that it was all over except for the decades of screaming......”

I’ve read the book and I most certainly cannot disagree with you. What they did was a travesty, and they’ve gotten away with it right up till the present time. There’s a special place in hell for the whole lot of them.

My private loss of faith began with the Warren Commission, and I was a naive, trusting boy at the time, one who believed James Stewart in The FBI Story.

My private loss of faith ended - reached its endpoint - with Ruby Ridge, Waco, and related acts of terror by the un-Constitutional Federal assassins.

I very reluctantly voted for Dubya (later, Mr. Isms) in 2000. I knew what to expect from him, and he did not disappoint. Homeland Security, Patriot Act, TSA: pervasive loss of liberty for lawful American citizens, increasing protection for America’s globalist enemies. He sent our soldiers to die half way around the world, but refused to protect our own borders. (I did not vote for him in 2004.)

The things that have happened since Donald Trump declared for the presidency have only confirmed what I already observed or deduced. For that reason, I have been denounced as a debbie downer by the popcorn passers.

I have not given up. I never gave up. But, as an ordained minister, I actually understand the evil nature of mankind, unlike the credulous pie-in-the-sky cheerleaders, who apparently do not care about the Constitutional Rights of people like Vicki Weaver, LaVoy Finicum, Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, et al.

Bill Barr, the vaunted White Hat, recruited by the CIA, defended pro bono Lon Horiuchi, who murdered Vicki Weaver as she stood on her porch with her daughter, not a rifle, in her arms. Barr has never repudiated his deed, and Horiuchi was eligible to participate in the Waco abomination.

Jeff Sessions, the once-vaunted White Hat, a longtime member of the SES, publicly defended the persecutors masquerading as prosecutors in the Cliven Bundy case, which was thrown out with prejudice by Gloria Navarro, for egregious prosecutorial misconduct.

Why would any thinking person trust Bill Barr to apply the rule of law equally and impartially?

And now we have Jeffrey Epstein, conveniently deceased. Many here do not care that he was murdered - assuming the body is indeed his - while under the custody, and therefore the protection, of the Federal government. I do.

Bill Barr could not foresee this? Bill Barr could not forestall this?

To the cookie-cutter conservatives who blindly trust The Plan: If they could do it to him, they can do it to someone you actually do care about - maybe yourself.
