Eh. There will always be real conspiracies and then...lizard people conspiracies.
This shit right here? yeah.....they killed him. 100%. No doubt in my fucking mind.
I mean, he was old...people die—
oh shit they totally fucking killed him
THEY FUCKING KILLED HIM!
Relevant Chart (open image in new tab to see it larger):
Not sure what to make of this chart except that a few items are misplaced imo and I agree conspiracy shit is an alt right pipeline in most cases. Maybe it wasn't always but whatever.
Anyhow.
I haven't followed up on the news. But there sure wasn't much available yesterday. So as far as actual reliable evidence we the public have little.
The guy being dead with an apparent self inflicted wound (as BBC and others said) or gunshot (as Corp Crime Reporter said) during whistleblower court proceedings against a giant company is consistent with suicide from:
It is also consistent with:
Any of these is certainly plausible at least. As is Epstein being murdered. Actually, that one is more plausible, given the few suspicious coincidences and the sheer number of people who wanted his secrets to stay that way. Whereas extra-terrestrial UFOs aren't all that plausible based on our current body of scientific knowledge.
I agree with pretty much everything you've written. The only point I would like to make is that the section where the UFOs sits is the "We Have Questions" section, which is between the "Things That Actually Happened" and "Unequivocally False But Mostly Harmless" sections. I interpret this section as containing things that cannot (as of 2021) be conclusively shown to be true or false. Also note that they're not even saying ET UFOs, but just UFOs. I think the flying saucer is just for visual flair. If I recall correctly, the person who designed this is/was an actual graphic designer.
Lol, they mustn't be a great one, because their design seems to have led at least one of y'all to interpret the labels as denoting for the category below, rather than upper/lower bounds between two categories. i.e. things in the blue category above the "speculation line" label are speculative but not yet "leaving reality"
Epstein didn't kill himself though. The circumstances where above the level of questioning, there were cameras turned off and he was supposedly on suicide watch.
As I much as I also believe that, there is no hard evidence (that we know of) that he didn't kill himself. I think that's why it's in that section. The suspiciousness of it is through the roof, but we can't prove it.
Sure we can't prove it but that diagram puts it at the same level of UFOs.
Right, the chart is far from perfect, but they just grouped them both under the "we have questions" section. We have lots of unresolved questions about Epstein's death, we have lots of unresolved questions about UFO sightings.
No, I understand we have questions but explaining epstein requires a couple of details, while UFOs require new laws of physics.
You definitely have a good point. I don’t think the designer probably meant much by it though. It’s only a casual classification.
this is bulshit, epstein definetly didnt kill himself, for starters.
How did they make hollow earth antisemitic? MF'rs
