“Sorry the cameras malfunctioned and 4 of the guards destroyed the documents then committed suicide. Nothing is to be done here.”
Something something Panama Papers…
I bet that Venn diagram is a circle.
The Panama Papers weren’t swept under a rug, you just didn’t follow news on them.
Also Epstein 100% killed himself, and unsealing this info won’t tell you anything meaningful, because predators who hide among the rich don’t fucking tell every person they meet that they’re a predator.
Conspiracy theories are never a good look on anyone.
I’m not real big on conspiracy theories.
The video being lost around the original attempt is rather suspect, but him finding something to hang himself with again… He should have been in a paper gown in a padded room. We have tons and tons of suicidal people in asylums and jail that are not given an opportunity to hang themselves.
Someone as high profile as him and with a cell mate?
I’m not saying he 100% didn’t kill himself, but It sure as hell looks like somebody went through a lot of trouble to provide him opportunity.
The hidden people on the list that makes this list so inconsequential are the same exact people with the type of reach it would need to make sure he didn’t start naming names.
He doesn’t need to name names, because they have his computers, documents, etc. This conspiracy theory is as full of holes as QAnon shit.
Yeah, no need to answer anything I point out just put your hands over your ears and tell me I’m QANON and full of shit that’ll really make your point and help your position here.
Come to think of it maybe there’s a reason you’re getting all the down votes…
“Conspiracy theories” have ironically enough become weaponized as a thought terminating cliche. Am I supposed to not wonder what about his guards and what they were doing, or the camera feeds, or the people getting paid six figures to handle his case, or the dozens of other loose ends?
There are enormous efforts being taken to gaslight people out of their curiosity about this case.
I also responded to your “points”
The downvotes are just “rich people bad” shit, same as ever.
Hopping into this conversation to say: that person is right; I’m not downvoting you because “rich people bad”. I’m downvoting you because you aren’t engaging in this discussion to share ideas and understand the other person. Your approach in this discussion is very much one of shutting down thinking that opposes yours. That doesn’t get a dialog going; it ends it. You can do with that as you like, but I thought I’d speak up for myself so you don’t mischaracterize my downvote.
There are people who collect and document the information from the Epsteins of the world for blackmail. It was how Hoover built the FBI. I am not claiming that Epstein was murdered, but anyone who tries to cash in on the information that Epstein had, would have information that destroys lives. Desperate people do act desperately. I would guess that little ‘conspiracies’ abound, as people try to not be outed.; non-disclosure agreements, for example.
Too bad you’re already getting down voted… people do love a good conspiracy story
It’s always sad watching someone get a downvote by someone who hates facts, logic and reason. Conspiratards gonna tard.
It doesn’t matter if you’re being truthful. If you’re being a smug dickhead and talking down to people to feed your sense of superiority, I will downvote.
There are enough of those in the fediverse as it is, we don’t need any more incentives.

What’s your definition of tard?
And deniers of the obvious may continue sucking the CIA’s cock.
But re Gary Webb. You are correct. He totally committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. Twice.
He totally committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. Twice.
This, but unironically. That’s why his wife corroborates it.
Here’s a clue to avoiding conspiracy theories: if it is something you really want to be true because it feels right, it probably isn’t true and is instead spread around by other people with that same feeling.
Most conspiracy theories are bullshit, no doubt. But not all of them are, and it’s pretty hard to judge which might be true by the claims alone, because by nature they are pretty fantastical.
In 1974 before the Church Committee revealed it, you’d have dismissed anyone telling you about MKUltra and I wouldn’t blame you.
But it really did happen.
Did Epstein kill himself? Probably? But the circumstances are definitely eyebrow raising…
If you think Epstein’s death was not ridiculously suspicious, I’m sorry, you the tard.
Why this list was ever sealed to begin with is beyond me.
Because powerful people were his associates. I’m surprised it is being unsealed.
I’m not surprised it was ordered to be unsealed. I’ll be more than a little surprised if an accurate list is actually unsealed. But, anything’s possible I guess.
“Those on the list were allowed to redact whatever parts they liked”
Deborah Jeane Palfrey has entered the chat.
I swear I remember seeing news stories at the time saying that she’d specifically told family members: I’m not planning to kill myself, but I am threatening to release the identities of powerful men who made use of my services. If I die it’s because they killed me.But now, all I can find is that it was clearly a suicide. Oh well.
Edit: Someone argued with me enough about it that I actually tried to read up on it, and I think what I was remembering was that Alex Jones said that if she died it’s because they killed her, and some people reported on that, along with some carefully cherry-picked quotes from her interview on his show. She did say that she wasn’t planning to kill herself, but only because he directly asked her as part of his normal Alex Jones shtick, and of course she said “no.” But she never said that on any other program, as far as I can tell, and everyone reliable who investigated concluded that the suicide was probably real. So the mystery is resolved. Sounds like she killed herself. 😢 At least I learned something today.
She actually said the exact opposite. From your link:
Palfrey’s two handwritten notes were released to the public. In one of them, she wrote to her sister, “You must comprehend there was no way out, I.E. ‘exit strategy,’ for me other than the one I have chosen here.” In another, she described her predicament as a “modern-day lynching”. She said she feared that, at the end of serving her sentence, she would be “in my late 50s a broken, penniless and very much alone woman”.[28][30]
Emphasis mine.
Yes, I read the sources I linked to. Here’s what I said about it:
But now, all I can find is that it was clearly a suicide. Oh well.
What did you think I was talking about, what I said that? If not that the stories I can find now all say it was a legit suicide?
Maybe my memory is faulty, or maybe the suicide note is fake. Which it is, I have no idea.
Seems very unlikely that two handwritten suicide notes could be plausibly faked that well when there are many examples of her handwriting
Well they needed to clean it first before they unsealed it.
Gotta blur some names so they won’t be prosecuted.
Most of the names will be innocent people and victims. All of them will be sent death threats and harassed because people will consider them pedophiles. People can’t understand two things at once (Epstein was a socialite and a child trafficker) and they don’t know what being an associate of Epstein implies. There’s good reasons to keep the list private from the masses.
It’s funny that those people will be threatened, but people we know have been involved in bribery at the highest levels of our government are not.
It must be funny, otherwise where’d all these tears on my cheeks come from!? 😂
Not sure how true this is given:
Anyone who did not successfully fight to keep their name out of the civil case could see their name become public – including Epstein’s victims, co-conspirators and innocent associates.
I imagine anyone who was innocent and an associate had the money to hire the right lawyers to remove themselves.
I also imagine those who should be on it, also won’t be.
I imagine anyone who was innocent and an associate had the money to hire the right lawyers to remove themselves.
Epstein was incredibly well connected, so this statement is dubious at best.
I also imagine those who should be on it, also won’t be.
This is correct. 0% of people “associated” with Epstein have any evidence against them of his crimes, or they’d have been charged as co-conspirators.
Hi schlomo
To protect the privacy of the rich?
Probably more because it’ll tip the ones who actually have cases open on them off.
That’s like 90% of what’s in still classified docs from controversial moments in domestic investigations, information which could show the hand to people currently under investigation, and also techniques the FBI uses in evidence gathering which aren’t known to the wider public and who’s exposure could lead to suspects catching wise and closing the avenue.
If you’ve ever seen one of those get smart posts about how to avoid being identified at a demonstration, Domestic Intelligence is openly trying to avoid more shit being added to those lists of ways to avoid detection. Yes it’s absolutely adversarial to the privacy of the public but it’s a lot less conspiratorial than a blood libel agenda to cover up the child trafficking of the rich.
So, you mean like Ice T. breaking it down ELI5 for the viewers every week?
You mean like when someone smokes crack cocaine?
Or when they bet too much on the ponies?
Or…
Oh, Johnny. I hope you get better, and soon. Don’t start hanging out with that ratfuck Chappelle, either.
Epstein died in 2019. If there’s any open cases it’s because they’re not making any effort to close them.
That’s not how major investigations of entire criminal networks work and if you weren’t trying to make blood libel cool because class consciousness or whatever you’d know better.
Their initial investigation into him lasted 13 months.
Probably because being on a list of names is not proof of any wrongdoing or crime but will most definitely be interpreted as such by people on the internet.

Until another judge says it will stay sealed.
They’ll unseal them but all envelopes contain only an “I Owe You” from Trump, and under his signature he wrote in small font “I declassified them after I took them home”
You know Dems were in that book, too, right?
I don’t think anybody is making this a partisan issue.
Guillotine them all.

Right, so just a Trump issue, then?
I don’t know how that follows
He’s trying to feel like a victim
Idk why you are pointing this out. Fuck all of them, regardless of politics. If Trump is in there, jail. If Biden is in there, jail.
Because I see comments about Trump under every Epstein, and there were way more politicians than Trump included in that passenger manifest. Is it offensive to you that I pointed that out or something?
The thing is he’s running for president and likes to accuse people of things. It makes sense people are going to look towards him first when shit starts flying around. Dudes into shady stuff, spent decades ripping people off or “getting a good deal” depending on your disposition.
Regardless, let them all burn, let’s find someone competent in the ashes. If someone is corrupt it’s in all our best interests to dump them, regardless of political affiliation, and find someone who believes in more than themselves.
Fair enough, I just wanna make sure they are all held accountable, not just the guys we already dislike. I’m all for Trump facing a firing squad, I just sort of feel like we’ve gotten to a place where those kind of people don’t really feel the same squeeze of justice that us 99%ers do.
Boo hoo, throw the book at them too.
If they’re fucking kids send them all to jail, like they did to Matt Gaetz
Hope that judge has real good security.
The judge was shot 400 times, a likely suicide.
Please. He fell onto those bullets at the bottom of an ellevator shaft!
Anyone who did not successfully fight to keep their name out of the civil case could see their name become public – including Epstein’s victims, co-conspirators and innocent associates.
Well, this tells us that we probably won’t see any notable people in the release then…
There goes the entire Republican Party
The goes the government
“What sealed documents?”
At this point it’s a single box with 3 labeled but empty manilla folders, a stack of completely random useless papers, and a spiral bound “2009 workplace ethics” manual.
Noam Chomsky once said that his dealings and business with Epstein were none of our business and we should fuck off. I hope we get to find out more about his and other rich people’s dealings with Epstein
Source?
Chomsky lost his mind decades ago, he’s for sure on the list and would probably justify it in some pseudoscientific bs way.

Oh noes, somebody from a different race than mine, he must be bad!
Go get fucked by an umbrella
Judging an entire race… Are you from the past?
It will be real interesting to see who files a motion objecting to the unsealing and appeals it to a higher court.
PLEASE
they’ll shriek
WON’T ANYONE THINK OF THE VICTIMS
Are “associates” and “customers” considered synonyms in legalese? If not, this list may not be as juicy as people think.
Customers pay, associates are given comps
I hope that judge is well protected and this isn’t an edited list of people.
January 1 - This is just the emotionally charged distraction. Keep watchful for the event that needs to go under the radar. A change in laws or policy, a new war, or anything that is meant to erode people’s privacy, security or freedom. The US has a history of implementing undesirable changes during holiday periods when there’s little opposition. Possibly something like this;
https://act.eff.org/action/tell-congress-they-must-defeat-hpsci-s-horrific-surveillance-bill
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is set to expire on December 31, 2023
Lol now that they had enough time to tamper with them, time to “unseal” them
It’s Deja vu all over again
