Newly released Department of Justice documents show that investigators reviewing surveillance footage from the night of Jeffrey Epstein’s death observed an orange-colored shape moving up a staircase toward the isolated, locked tier where his cell was located at approximately 10:39 p.m. on Aug. 9, 2019.

That entry in an observation log of the video from the Metropolitan Correctional Center appears to suggest something previously unreported by authorities: “A flash of orange looks to be going up the L Tier stairs — could possibly be an inmate escorted up to that Tier.”

It also appears, according to an FBI memorandum, that reviews by investigators led to disparate conclusions by the FBI and those examining the same video from the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General.

    Whenever murky circumstances cause conspiracies, I like XKCDs approach.

    What we see in that screenshot is an assassin hired by the elites, headed to make sure Epstein stays silent for good. With the cameras deactivated, it should’ve been a simple ordeal, but upon arrival it turned out he had already hung himself.

    Who cares? Does it really matter if he offed himself or if someone else did it? He deserved to die because he was a child predator protecting other child predators. There seems to be a lot of angst, mainly from men, about shit that doesn’t matter. He was evil. He abused women and girls. His friends abused women and girls. They should be behind bars at the very least. Everything else is non-productive noise.

      I don’t think men on the internet say “Epstein didn’t kill himself” because they want justice for him. That meme was to drive home that he was likely killed to ensure his silence and protect guilty gov’t officials and multinational executives

      Who cares? Yes he was evil. But there is a huge difference between him commiting suicide and him being murdered because of what he knew. The fact that you don’t think it should matter is quite telling.

      Even if he were smuggled out, he’s dead now

      The rich and powerful want him dead so he can’t roll on them. Nirmak people want him dead because he’s a monster. No one in the world wanrs him still alive

      I want to know why money was moved from his estate to one of his accounts after his death and who withdrew that money/was using it for expenses. Fishy AF

    I don’t really like conspiracy theories in general. But it the Panama Papers and Epstein files have taught me anything is that there are indeed a bunch of nefarious conspiracies going on.

      Faking the moon landing and flat eartherism are conspiracy theories.

      Acknowledging that the global elite are depraved pedophiles who create global catastrophes just to profit off the chaos and misery, just means you accept reality.

      If anything, the Epstein emails showed me that I wasn’t cynical enough… and I thought I was pretty cynical.

      The cover up of the files is what a real conspiracy looks like. There is overwhelming evidence that powerful people are intentionally suppressing.

      No need to make wild conspiracy theories when literally everything about this is a fucking conspiracy.

      The NSA was indeed spying on Americans, that was a conspiracy. Plastic recycling is largely a scam, that was a conspiracy. Its generally accepted now that Covid-19 came from a chinese lab, that was a conspiracy. It is still very controversial with conflicting evidence on both sides.

      As far as I’m aware the earth isn’t flat but some conspiracies do reflect the truth. The covid release may not have been intentional like some theories propose but its not impossible it came from a lab.

      Edit: here is a link to Ken Lacorte’s research into the covid-19 lab theory and he tends to be well researched and trustworthy.

          Alleged accusations. Its the reporters word against his. Maybe it was for trump, maybe the evidence wasn’t strong enough and Lacorte wanted to avoid a Trump lawsuit. You could argue that is a conspiracy in itself.

          And discrediting the Ken Lacorte portion on my comment, the other 2 conspiracies are still valid. My point is we cannot dismiss information just because it is labeled as a conspiracy. For example, if trump rigs the midterms and wins, he will very likely call accusations of his rigging a “leftist conspiracy.” The truth is often somewhere between the conspiracy and the narrative.

    Can we agree that Epstein knew too much, and was silenced? Either by being suicided or by being smuggled out of prison, while leaving a stand-in dead guy with strangulation marks.

    If can discard the Elvis theory, and agree that Epstein died in the cell, and that his death wasn’t voluntary, then maybe look at who else died. I mean, if you want to kill some high profile person, then you don’t want to be connected to that event. So you hire somebody, and then kill them afterwards.

    Take Jack Ruby shooting Oswald, or the guy who shot at the audience next to Trump (sorry, but I don’t buy him missing with an ar15 at that range, I’m definitely not a great shot, but when I train at 200m I get 10/10 in center mass from a prone position). You don’t want to leave the shooter alive.

    So look at who else croaked in the days following Epstein. Any guards missing? Fellow inmates?
