In an interview with
Associated Press, US Attorney General William Barr put all conspiracy theories
to rest once and for all by assuring the world that alleged sex trafficker and
alleged billionaire Jeffrey Epstein’s death was simply the result of a very,
very, very long series of unfortunate coincidences.
“I can understand people who immediately, whose minds went to
sort of the worst-case scenario because it was a perfect storm of screw-ups,”
Barr told AP on Thursday.
This perfect storm of unlucky oopsies include Epstein
being taken off suicide watch not long after a
previous suicide attempt and shortly before his successful suicide, suggestions that the first attempt may
have actually been an assault via attempted strangulation inflicted by someone
else, two security guards simultaneously falling asleep on the job when
they were supposed to be checking on Epstein, one of those guards not even being an actual security guard,
security footage of two cameras outside Epstein’s cell
being unusable due to a mysterious technical glitch,
at least eight Bureau of Prisons officials knowing Epstein wasn’t meant to be left alone in his cell and
leaving him alone in his cell anyway, Epstein’s cellmate being transferred out of their shared space the
day before Epstein’s death, Epstein signing a will two days before his
death, unexplained injuries on Epstein’s wrists
and shoulder reported by his family after the autopsy, and a forensic expert
who examined Epstein’s body claiming that his injuries were more consistent with homicide than suicide.

resulted from “a perfect storm of screw-ups” and that evidence ultimately shows
he hanged himselfhttps://t.co/lhCxD16q4Q

“The attorney general also sought to dampen conspiracy theories
by people who have questioned whether Epstein really took his own life, saying
the evidence proves Epstein killed himself,” AP reports. “He added that he
personally reviewed security footage that confirmed that no one entered the
area where Epstein was housed on the night he died.”Against the Left: A Ro...Buy

Well if reporting that he’s reviewed footage which we were
previously told didn’t exist isn’t enough to dampen those kooky conspiracy
theories, I don’t know what is.
So there you have it. The US government says that an intelligence asset with damning information on many powerful individuals did in fact kill himself due
to an admittedly bizarre and wildly unlikely series of strange coincidences. I
for one have no more questions. Checkmate, conspiracy theorists.
“Mr. Epstein’s death in August at a federal detention center in
Manhattan set off a rash of unfounded conspiracy theories on social
media that were picked up and repeated by high-profile figures, including Mayor
Bill de Blasio and former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani. No matter their ideology,
the refrain of the theories was the same: Something did not add up,” says The New York Times in its report Barr’s statements.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. It’s a completely unfounded
conspiracy theory to believe that someone with ties to powerful institutions
and individuals might be murdered in a way that was made to look like a
suicide. We don’t live in a world where opaque organizations do evil things in
secret, we live in a world where the government is always our friend and the TV
would never lie to us. I’m glad these comments made by Barr (whose father in
another strange coincidence gave Epstein his first job)
have at long last struck a fatal blow to anyone who would doubt the beneficent
hand of our beloved institutions.
Barr
said evidence proves Epstein killed himself.
He added that he personally
reviewed security footage that confirmed that no one entered the area where
Epstein was housed on the night he died. https://t.co/CTica7rhhm

It’s hard to imagine what
more the US government and its allied political/media class could possibly do
to quell conspiracy theories that now have Hollywood celebrities clamoring for government internet censorship.
I guess if they really, really wanted
to dampen conspiracy theories, there are a few more extremely drastic steps
that could be taken. Steps like not lying all the time. And maybe not hiding
immense amounts of information about what the most powerful institutions in the
world are doing behind thick walls of government opacity. And maybe cease
promoting conspiracies themselves, as with Russiagate. And maybe stop secretly
doing depraved things. And maybe stop engaging in conspiracies.
Pretty sure Barr’s
assurances will be enough to do the trick, though.
