    Patel and Bongino have since said Epstein committed suicide. But it has become an article of faith online, especially on the right, that Epstein’s crimes also implicated government officials, celebrities and business leaders — and that someone killed him to conceal them.

    Oh fuck right off.

        I 100% believe that pizzagate/QAnon was a psyop to make the public forever associate all discussion of wealthy pedophile rings with whacked-out conspiracy theories. now talking about objectively true, well-documented facts makes you sound crazy to the average low-information liberal

        That’s wild because I thought everyone agreed that he didn’t commit suicide when it happened. People have such short memories.

      the right wing literally worships Epstein’s former best friend, the government official, celebrity, and business leader Donald J. Trump, as a god

      it’s objectively a fact that Epstein was connected to wealthy, powerful, famous people. the FBI itself has come out and said this - before it was taken over by one of those people. by suggesting that discussing this fact is akin to right-wing conspiracies like QAnon, axios is literally covering for pedophiles. is their CEO in the black book too?

        All I’m saying is that predators are benefiting from labeling this narrative as a right-wing conspiracy like QAnon.

        Believing Epstein didn’t kill himself is hardly a partisan issue and it’s skeevy as fuck to claim otherwise.

        It wouldn’t surprise me at all if the FBI had Epstein on their bankroll so they could blackmail people into becoming informants. The problem law enforcement runs into is eventually they have to cut their informants loose and informants have to be paid. Don’t have to do that if you have guaranteed life in prison to hang over someone’s head. Now you can use them for as long as you want.

    Oh alright then, I wasn’t sure before but I guess it’s all settled now.

    Can they even do proper psyops anymore? It would be so much more effective to come to this conclusion as a somewhat high profile, somewhat respectable group unassosciated with (but with free access of information to) federal agencies. Just make the CIA cutout, hype up the investigation, do some performative and maybe even highly publicized chaffing with the government and then release your totally legit findings.

    E: you could even put Chomsky on the team, he’s already openly defended his association with Epstein and most uninformed “lefties” still take what he says to heart.

    Unless the psyop is freely flaunting the level of control they have to put a cap on the consequences of conspiracies like this, even if the public is aware.

    This just makes the Trump admin look even more guilty overing for Pissreal and Epstien.

    He doesn’t talk about hillary-contempt or billdawg any more either. So much for locking them up. JFK stuff comes out with a bunch of Pissreal mentions but a-little-trolling make your own conclusions.

    Most powerful governemnt and military in the world scared to death over a tiny foriegn Voldemort country and will incriminate their own public for speaking against.

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
