[Editor’s Note: Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell at the Manhattan Correctional Center this morning – and was transported from the facility on a gurney around 7:30 AM to New York Downtown Hospital. We will be adding additional facts to this story throughout the day as they become available].
*****
Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted pedophile and registered sex offender who was facing sex trafficking charges and a host of other federal charges in the Southern District of New York, was found dead this morning in his cell at the Manhattan Correctional Center (MCC).
Prison officials immediately indicated that he had hung himself in his cell – even though no autopsy had been performed and no evidence had been gathered.
Federal prisons have well-established protocols for preventing at-risk prisoners from hanging themselves. These usually involve taking away anything that can be used to create a rope-like device: e.g., shoelaces, sheets, pillowcases, t-shirts, socks, etc.
It is difficult to believe that MCC had not enacted such measures with respect to Epstein – especially given the unexplained incident that left him near unconscious on the floor of his cell back on July 24th.
The rush to judgment has raised many eyebrows – but may not lead to any sort of real investigation. Or at best an investigation that will quickly confirm the current cover-story.

Former Lawyer For Epstein Accusers Was Correct: He Was in Grave Danger
Just last week, we reported that Spencer Kuvin, a lawyer who had previously represented three of Epstein’s accusers back in 2008, thought that Epstein was in grave danger (Kuvin was speaking about the July 24th incident when Epstein was found near-unconscious in his cell).
At that time, Kuvin told The Sun that “I question whether or not it was a true suicide attempt that Mr. Epstein was involved in jail or whether or not there may be some powerful people who just don’t want him to talk”.
He went to say: “There’s no doubt in my mind that no jail will protect you when there’s [sic] powerful people that want to reach you – wherever you are. If he’s going to implicate anyone in power that has the ability to reach in and somehow get to him – his life is definitely in jeopardy.”
We have not yet been able to reach Kuvin for further comment.

New Revelations May Have Doomed Epstein
Just yesterday, things started to heat up when the judge who was hearing a defamation case that had been filed against Epstein’s long-time gal pal Ghislaine Maxwell decided to release more than 2,000 pages of documents that had been under seal.
The documents revealed that the plaintiff in the lawsuit, Virginia Roberts, claimed that she had spent three years serving as a sex slave to Epstein and Ghislaine – and that during that period, she was “forced to have sex with…numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, (and) a well-known Prime Minister”.
In the newly-released documents, Roberts specified some of the men that she was forced to have sex with by Epstein and Ghislaine.
They included MIT professor Martin Minsky, former U.S. Senator George Mitchell, former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, and money manager Glenn Dubin.
Roberts had previously claimed she was also forced to have sex with Prince Andrew and noted attorney Alan Dershowitz.

Thousands of Other Images Were Likely to Surface
At the time of his arrest back on July 6th, federal agents blew the door off the safe that was located in his Manhattan mansion. In there, they reportedly recovered “vast trove of lewd photographs of young-looking woman and girls”.
It has long been rumored that Epstein routinely photographed and filmed others while they were having sex at his various homes. Whether such photographs were seized from his Manhattan mansion during the July 6th search there is not yet known.
*****
Epstein Should Have Been Held In Isolated Protective Custody
Given the July 24th incident when Epstein was found near-unconscious in his cell – and given the rumors that many powerful people throughout the world could have harmed by the facts that would be revealed at his trial next year – Epstein should have been being held in solitary protective custody at MCC.
That sort of arrangement would have ensured he was in a cell by himself, that he was being monitored 24/7 by prison staff, and that he did not come into contact with other prisoners
Whether that’s the type of placement he was in at the time of his death has yet to be revealed.
*****
Smells Like A Set-Up
Just like Whitey Bulger was assassinated when prison guards “mistakenly” placed him in a location that could be accessed by other prisoners, Epstein’s “suicide” smells like a set-up.
The only question now is whether we’ll ever find out what really happened to him.
There are many powerful people that wanted Epstein dead.
Now, they got what they wanted…
If you are confused about who pulled off Epstein’s murder – ask the following questions:
1) Who has the most to gain by Epstein’s death?
2) Who has the means to gain entry to MCC with official or ‘official-looking’ credentials?
Obviously it was a hit. CIA, NSA, ISA. Pick one and they all have the means and motive to knock off Jeff.
And if there was camera footage of his cell or who is entering or leaving the hallway, where is it?
While this thread is a couple of days old and now it’s the evening of August 12th, there are too many “ifs” about Epstein’s death. One of the bigger questions is how would Epstein think that he had the time and the space to hang himself? Say the current excuses or explanations coming from administrative sources are reasonable; understaffed and overworked employees failed to do their supposedly overlapping 30 minute rounds. How would Epstein have been aware of this or able to rely on not being detected? Now descriptions of how he hung himself are being reported, saying he used a bedsheets tied to an upper bunk and strangled himself kneeling.
Someone else could have hung him that way, especiallyJeffrey was already down for the count, as a deliberate setting. His head and face were shown in two photos as he wheeled out of the prison. The face shown wasn’t distorted and looked more blank and composed, as well as showing a change in his coloration.
What is the truth about Epstein’s cellmate situation? If his cellmate was switched from the quadruple murderer to someone else, (someone who has been said to have been absent from the cell during Epstein’s demise) how come there are still so many variants to the whole damn story?
Another thing, aside from that Epstein could’ve been rendered unconscious and then positioned, is that lots of officials seem to bawling their outrage and pointing fingers at one another. So then you ask yourself, who is outraged and who is just pretending and using theatricality, hoping to make lots of noise, to create some distraction? The officials themselves are questionable, and who can tell who or how many are treating honesty as if it were some bendable, political component, suitable to adapt, either for blame or for self-protection?
Epstein’s death is like a segment out of Titicut Follies, the 1967 Frederick Wiseman documentary about Bridgewater State Hospital in Massachusetts. The film was made to expose more than poor conditions. It exposed cruelty and indifference, even torment being used against the inmates, a viciousness which even the highest paid professionals on the staff felt at liberty to deliver. The head psychiatrist was like a fully functional sadist
My dad showed this film underground at our home when it was still censored during the sixties, and we had a full house and plenty of tear-stained faces. The impact of that film did lead to some helpful changes finally being made. But that was then.
Guards Reportedly Failed to Follow Protocol to Check on Epstein Every 30 Minutes
“The revelation will likely send conspiracy theorists into overdrive but the Times also hints at another possible reason for the failure to follow protocol. The jail was short staffed, like many federal prisons, and those on duty where Epstein was kept had been working overtime. “One of the corrections officers was working his fifth straight day of overtime, while the other officer had been forced to work overtime,” reports the Times.”

Conspiracy Theorist: Someone who doubts the narratives of proven liars.
[…] Jeffrey Epstein Assassinated – Cover-Up Expected […]
So did his deep state pals swap someone’s body for him, and he’s alive and well, off Scot-free somewhere??
The “MCC cameras not working” item is a falsehood.
Shadowstate STOP SPREADING UNTRUTHS!
Oh for Chrissake… “Assassinated”? For months I have been hearing about how MCC, and at prisons in general, supervision is lax, prisoners are at daily risk of violent attack, contraband is commonplace and so is suicide. Suicide is so common that evidently it’s general practice to place every newly sentenced prisoner on suicide watch, as was done with Keith Raniere. Prisoners are so adept at killing themselves with ordinary items such as shoe laces, tee shirts, or even socks (!) that these items are confiscated. Now I ask you, how hard is it for a prisoner, any prisoner, to get hold of a smuggled sock or tee shirt? Keith Raniere got his hands on a cell phone. Drugs and shivs get into prison, yet it’s inconceivable that a billionaire prisoner could obtain a tee shirt to hang himself with? This unheard of event, a prisoner killing himself, can only explained by invoking a vast conspiracy involving the very highest of those in the corridors of power?
Yes, best-selling thrillers are fun and exciting to read. It’s easy to believe that those kind of fictional plots are real, it’s certainly more entertaining than the real world of understaffed prisons and lapses in oversight, our world where not everything gets done by the book, where a scared, despairing, and resourceful man kills himself rather than face a hellish future.
This whole Epstein thing has been a mass freak-out from the beginning. It took on the dimensions of a moral panic from the very beginning, what with the pedophilia angle plus Epstein’s political connections. The latter made this into a political football, giving ammunition to both the Trump haters and the Clinton bashers, and we all know how they love to go for each other’s throats. Even our linguistic cousins across the pond in the dreary, rainy land of Brexit got into the game, with the British gutter press implicating Randy Prince Andy in Epstein’s pedophilia. Pedophilia in this case meaning there’s a picture of him meeting a 17-year old young lady who was one of Epstein’s girls. Certain evidence, surely, that this member of the Royal Family engaged in sex orgies with children!
And that’s another aspect of this case that bugs me. Yes, Epstein’s behavior was gross and disgusting. He was a dirty old man, filthy rich and obsessed with women much too young for him, who took his obsession beyond ethical, societal, and even legal bounds with girls below the age of consent. He paid them, corrupted them, trafficked them. The man was a pig and got away with it because he’s rich. Well, he got away with it for a while. So… Epstein was a man in his 60s who liked young females. Teenagers and young women. Okay. But really, is that pedophilia, the physical desire for children? Is a 17 year old, like the person Andrew was photographed with, a child? Is it really shocking that he was photographed with her?
Is it perverted for an older man to find a 17 year old female attractive? Isn’t it, in fact perfectly natural? C’mon now, be honest.
When did we become a nation of pearl-clutching church ladies? When did we return to Puritanism? Remember Hugh Hefner, the founder of Playboy magazine, who made millions and built his mansion and lived there with a bevy of young models half his age? Sure, he was the prototypical dirty old man and the prefect target for ministers to rail at from their pulpits, but didn’t we also kind of know he was on to something? Hef was at least honest. He had made a ton of money and finally could get what he wanted and what he wanted was to live in silk pajamas surrounded by beautiful women. He knew perfectly well the only reason they were with him is because he paid them and he was okay with that. The man was honest.
He was also smart enough to make sure they were all at least 18 years of age. That’s where Epstein screwed up, and he ended up paying the price. He did what was possibly the only decent thing he did in his life, which was to off himself.
ACTAEON,
why don’t you take an hour to watch and read the story the victims are telling. Number one, most of them were 12-15 years old when he began his molestation. When they turned the ripe old age of 17 he turned them out to pasture.
He molested them, drugged them and sold them to his old gross male friends..
There is a legal age of consent “18” because normal healthy girls are still very young and innocent at age 18, 17, 16, 15…..
Let me guess, you are mid forties, out of shape, addicted to underage porn, never could get the popular girl, or any girl in high school and are still chasing a childhood fantasy of wanting a teenage girlfriend…..
Go fuck yourself you CREEPER (this is what healthy young teenage girls call MEN OVER 30!!!). Sorry gentlemen beautiful young teenager girls like boys their own age……If you are 30 or older a teenager sees you as an old man……
What I find strange about this entire case is the fact that the victims, named and known victims, are walking around, business as usual…So JE is jailed and “murdered” to hide what he might know and who he might know and what they did, but these girls have already splilled the beans, so what’s to hide????
A big lavish drama to take our eyes off the real deal…What’s the real deal you might wonder?? Our world and our reality are cloaked by a deep dark ancient magic and this worshipper of Baal was a sacrifice…..
That’s the hole in the conspiracy theory, isn’t it? If there was a plot to assassinate Epstein, this powerful elite must have forgotten about all the girls who know exactly what happened. Now if they all start to mysteriously disappear one by one, I’ll start believing in the conspiracy.
Good point, about a typical flaw in such theories.
Apparently there were rumblings that Epstein was under investigation again – and so he was probably arrogantly stupid to come back to the US. Anyone truly devious and ruthless who really wanted to nip the problem in the bud could have arranged for say a hit in France set up to look like a botched robbery, or mechanical problems to bring down the plane in the depths of the Atlantic, and there probably would have been no new media exposures or additional victims coming forward. Instead he died right after a dump of really embarrassing material, in a way that has drawn all sorts of attention and major investigations.
There’s an old saying, don’t attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence.
Or moved to Thailand or Vietnam or any number of countries that allow pedos to hide in plain sight, because the culture itself provides a certain leeway and the women look, to a westerners eyes, like children?
Not strange at all. Epstein himself was walking free as a jaybird until a couple of months ago. He would have been much easier to get rid of awhile ago by an accident or heart attack gun. It would have been much easier to do it then for the deep state, rather than wait until he was in prison with the national spotlight on him.
Nothing to see here…..guards were told to leave Epstein because of maintenance, then the cameras broke, while the most valuable prisoner in America hanged himself
….if Raniere “committed suicide” like Epstein, or would you want him to have more trials and live in prison for the rest of his life?
I want Raniere to be able to testify about the criminal activities of Emiliano Salinas and other elite Mexicans.
It’s ironic that probably some of the same people who have wished that the prison system would take care of Raniere in its own ad hoc way, are now wringing their hands over the prison system’s failure to adequately take diligent care of Epstein.
Who’s wringing their hands? Epstein, unlike KAR, escaped justice.
It would have been better for his and Ghislaine’s targets, if he had suicided after his court-case, by which time, yeah, ad hoc
reprisals – why the hell not? Grown people at their big age, engender their own cause and effect, or karma, if you prefer.
Epstein took justice into his own hands and saved taxpayers a lot of money.
As I’ve said before, I don’t think Raniere has the guts to commit suicide. Plus, unlike Raniere, Epstein wasn’t delusional, he knew he committed crimes. However, I think the tax dollars saved are more important than more trials and more prison time, and I think someone will “suicide” Raniere for being a statutory rapist.
Now the story is there was a camera malfunction. So there is no footage of Epstein’s cell from 4am to 6am.
Coincidence???
Very convenient.
And Epstein timed his so called suicide to coincide with the malfunction.
What’s your source for that?
I find it being debunked:
“Rumors have been circulating ever since Jeffrey Epstein was found dead that cameras at the prison malfunctioned the night of his death. However, at this point it’s not known if there were any cameras recording Epstein and, if there were, whether they were working or recorded footage. The person who started the camera malfunction rumor didn’t provide sources at the time to verify his tweet…..CEO of YukoSocial….a political social media firm that specializes in “information warfare” ”
Jeffrey Epstein Camera Malfunction: No Proof for Rumor, But Other Questions Remain
https://heavy.com/news/2019/08/jeffrey-epstein-camera-malfunction/
There are plenty of people with reason to exploit a story like this and spread rumors to heighten suspicions and sew divisions.
As we reported, Epstein was being housed in the section of the SHU that does not have camera coverage of cells. So, whether the cell cameras broke down or not is irrelevant as far as his cell goes.
There are also cameras that cover the areas outside the cells. If those went down for a couple of hours, you would not be able to see who visited Epstein’s cell during that time period. And that could obviously be very relevant.
Also, the guards are supposed to visit each cell where Epstein was housed every 30 minutes. That’s a rule that gets broken just about every night.
Yeah but if the guards break that same rule for an inmate known as Rodent Keith Raniere, you and Frank have NO PROBLEM with that shit, you fucken hypocrite.
Why do you fucken care so much?
If Keith dropped dead in prison (for ANY reason) you and Frank would be in celebratory mode, even if you don’t have the BALLS to admit it.
You’re a Monday morning quarterback.
Prison guards are mostly assholes who don’t give a fuck about human beings, after becoming desensitized to the idea that inmates are human.
It doesn’t surprise me that they didn’t give 2 shits about monitoring Epstein.
But to claim they’re part of an elaborate conspiracy by powerful elite men is just a space alien story.
Guess what, asshole?
They’ll likely have bank records checked as well as being given polygraphs as part of this HIGH PROFILE investigation.
Plus all of their colleagues will be questioned and I really doubt that a bigtime conspiracy can be hidden from view.
The only way that 6 people can keep a secret is if 5 of them are dead, lol. This type of conspiracy would have required many guards and supervisors, not just a single guard.
We’ll know soon enough what happened.
And when you finally learn there was no conspiracy and you have EGG ON YOUR FACE, I’ll expect you to come here and apologize and then kiss my butt. 🙂

Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you and then he kneels

Do you, Mr. Jones?

Thanks for the nostalgia, Shivani
I’ve worked in NYS corrections as an officer for over 33 years. An inmate with this high a profile who has “attempted” suicide in the recent past would be in an isolation cell on suicide watch. An officer assigned to a suicide watch has the inmate in his sight at all times. No other inmates are allowed near the cell. The officer logs everything the inmate says, what he is doing every 15 minutes. Only a supervisor can authorize a visit by prison staff. The officer cannot leave his post until properly relieved.
This was a deliberate set up to either “encourage/enable” Epstein to off himself or provide someone else to “assist” him.
I haven’t been this shocked since Barry Manilow announced he was gay.
Yeah sure asshole, keep telling tall tales for us.
NO PRISON has enough officers on staff to PERSONALLY WATCH every emotional inmate who might off himself.
24 hours non stop watching, you say?
Yeah fucken sure.
That might be what the rulebook says, but nothing works like that.
Inmates fight and die in every prison and guards don’t give a shit.
Thus, you’re claim about this ’24 hour protection’ is horse crap.
If a prisoner offs himself during lunch, the guards would likely wait to finish their meal before responding.
Your claim of a deliberate conspiracy to kill Epstein (or to have him kill himself) is literally a child’s tale.
They could have simply spiked his food with a serious food toxin if they wanted him gone.
I’m guessing that you’re the Sergeant from the retard brigade inside some hicktown local jail.
Gawd you’re a fucktard and an awful human being Bang-cock.

Welcome, Donte, ignore the paid troll.

JC, stop watching so much TV, Your brain has turned to mush….yes that is how a prisoner like JE would have been kept under his circumstances…..Oh wait, unless of course you yourself have been in prison or worked in a jail, have you?
🤣. No, but I’m truly, really, 🤣, shocked 😳. Barry Manilow’s gay?! …🤣.

Here’s my obituary for Jefferey Epstein:
==========
Jeffrey Epstein had the first and last laugh in life.
He lived a lavishly rich lifestyle.
A life that mere mortals could only dream about.
He engaged in a life full of perverted sexual escapades.
When caught in 2007, his money bought him a slap on the wrist.
When finally caught in 2019 and with no way out of a miserable LIFE SENTENCE in prison — he reduced his own prison sentence to just 4 weeks in the slammer, by ‘suiciding’ himself.
Jeffrey Epstein has beaten society.
He must be laughing alongside Satan at this very moment.
The sooner a worthless piece of crap like you is in hell sucking Satan off the better.
What? You and Epstein sitting together having a laugh? pics please.
Actually he’s dead. Lying in a body-bag on a slab-tray in a mortuary. Chin-chin, ‘Jesus’!!!

Frank, this “joke” was obviously intended as a threat towards me, why else would they reference types of flowers?
Why don’t you assholes post about important stuff, such as did Epstein get his wish to have his brain and penis cryogenically preserved? We need to know🙄
Why are you interested in frozen penis?
Are you low on stock?
I was hoping that someone would put those items into Trump’s bed- you know – like from the horse head scene in “The Godfather”.

It just might give Mr. Hamberder a heart attack.
Sorry ding a ling. President Trump is going to be around quite awhile. No you should do the world a favor and shut the fuck up toots.
why is HRC always laughing like a crazed hyena????
Bad conscience = Rictus grin.
Someone must have sources inside MCC.
Meet Deborah Jeane Palfrey the Washington DC Madam who was suicided in 2008.
Her attorney Montgomery Blair Sibley ordered not to release Palfrey’s phone records even though they were supposedly relevant to the 2016 Presidential election.
“Deborah Jeane Palfrey (March 18, 1956 – May 1, 2008)[1] (dubbed the D.C. Madam by the news media) operated Pamela Martin and Associates, an escort agency in Washington, D.C. Although she maintained that the company’s services were legal, she was convicted on April 15, 2008 of racketeering, using the mail for illegal purposes,[1][2] and money laundering.[2] Slightly over two weeks later, facing a prison sentence of five or six years, she was found hanged. Autopsy results and the final police investigative report concluded that her death was a suicide.”
“2016 Presidential Election
Sibley, Palfrey’s former attorney, claims to have her phone records and that they are relevant to the 2016 presidential election.[35][36][37][38][39] In April 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the request to lift a lower court order, in place since 2007, that bars Sibley from releasing any information about her records.”

Protocol was broken.
Epstein was on suicide watch as recently as Thursday (two days ago.)
“Despite that, Epstein had been taken off suicide watch, a special set of procedures for inmates deemed in danger of taking their own life, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters. He was on suicide watch as late as Thursday, the source said.”
“At the MCC, two jail guards are required to make separate checks on all prisoners every 30 minutes, but that procedure was not followed overnight, according to the source, who was not authorized to speak on the record.”
“In addition, every 15 minutes guards are required to make another check on prisoners who are on suicide watch.”
“SEX TRAFFICKING INVESTIGATION TO CONTINUE
After Epstein’s arrest, prosecutors said a search of his townhouse, conducted under a warrant, uncovered evidence of hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of nude photographs of “what appeared to be underage girls,” including some photos cataloged on compact discs and kept in a locked safe.”
“In a court filing on July 25, the government said it was pursuing an “ongoing investigation of uncharged individuals” in connection with the case against Epstein.”
“That investigation, in the U.S. Attorney’s office in Manhattan, will continue despite Epstein’s death, a different source familiar with the matter said.”

How and why did Ghislane Maxwell’s father Robert Maxwell die in 1991?
MEDIA BARON SUES SEYMOUR HERSH
Story #1
October 25, 1991
LONDON, OCT. 24 — One of the world’s biggest press barons locked legal horns with a prominent investigative reporter today as Robert Maxwell sued Seymour M. Hersh over Hersh’s allegations linking Maxwell and one of his top employees with Israel’s Mossad spy agency.
Hersh told a press conference here that he stood by the charges in his new book, “The Samson Option,” that Nicholas Davies, foreign editor of the Maxwell-owned Daily Mirror, acted as a Mossad agent by brokering arms sales to Iran and betraying the whereabouts of Mordechai Vanunu. Vanunu, an Israeli dissident who in 1986 publicly disclosed details of his country’s top-secret nuclear weapons program, was later abducted by the Mossad and returned to Israel, where he is serving a 16-year prison sentence for treason.
Minutes after Hersh reiterated the allegations, a lawyer for Maxwell handed the author two writs from Maxwell’s Mirror Group Newspapers and from Davies denying the charges and suing Hersh and his British publisher, Faber and Faber, for libel. Davies has branded the charges “a total lie.”

Maxwell’s death raises questions in Israel
ByJONATHAN FERZIGER
JERUSALEM — Newspaper tycoon Robert Maxwell’s mysterious death raised new questions Wednesday about his ties to the Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad, and the viability of his extensive holdings in several Israeli companies.
But exactly how close Maxwell’s ties to Israel extended has been the subj ct of much,speculation since the publication of Seymour Hersh’s book, ‘The Samson Option,’ which charged that the publisher was closely connected to the Mossad.
Maxwell bitterly denied the accusation and sued Hersh and his publisher, Faber and Faber, for libel.
Hersh told British television Tuesday night that he had more information on Maxwell, which he would soon disclose. He gave no details.
Maxwell died Tuesday in the eastern Atlantic Ocean after going overboard from his yacht in the Canary Islands.

U.S. Author Gets Apology In Libel Case
By Lawrence Van Gelder
An American author and his British publisher yesterday accepted substantial damages and an apology that effectively ended a libel action brought against them in English courts by Robert Maxwell and his newspaper company before his death.
The out-of-court settlement announced in High Court in London also ended a countersuit brought by the author, Seymour M. Hersh, and the publisher, Faber & Faber Ltd. The Maxwell lawsuit was prompted by Mr. Hersh’s 1991 book “The Samson Option,” about Israel’s nuclear weapons program.
In yesterday’s proceedings, a lawyer for the Mirror Group, which was controlled by Mr. Maxwell before his death in November 1991, said it acknowledged that Mr. Hersh “is an author of excellent reputation and of the highest integrity who would never write anything which he did not believe to be true and that he was in this instance fully justified in writing what he did.” Ties to Mossad
Mr. Hersh’s book said Mr. Maxwell had ties with Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, and that Nicholas Davies, foreign editor of The Daily Mirror, the flagship of Mr. Maxwell’s newspaper empire, had helped arrange the sale of Israeli arms to Iran as well as help Israeli agents kidnap an Israeli nuclear technician.

Story#4
Maxwell killed by The Mossad: New Book
October 25, 2002 — British media tycoon Robert Maxwell was murdered by the Israeli secret services, according to a new book, which also alleges the flamboyant millionaire was an Israeli spy and had links to organized crime in Eastern Europe.
Robert Maxwell, Israel’s Superspy, to be published in December by Carroll and Graf, claims Mossad decided to get rid of Maxwell because he was threatening to expose his knowledge of Israeli secrets unless he received Israeli help in propping up his failing businesses.
Maxwell’s sudden death at sea in November 1991 off the Canary Islands brought about the collapse of his worldwide publishing empire and triggered theories ranging from suicide, murder or accident.
Maxwell — who owned the Daily News at the time — disappeared overboard just as the complex web of financial deals keeping his businesses afloat was beginning to unravel and a few weeks after U.S. investigative journalist Seymour Hersh published a book claiming Maxwell had close ties with the Israeli secret services.
The new book, by British thriller writer Gordon Thomas and Irish journalist Martin Dillon, is based on interviews with former Mossad agents and chiefs.
Thomas and Dillon claim Maxwell was killed by Mossad agents who boarded his private yacht under cover of darkness and plunged a needle filled with a lethal nerve agent into Maxwell’s neck. They then lowered his body into the sea.

I think Bolger is actually a counter-example – even the remnants of the Boston mob managed to whack Whitey the very first night they had access to him. If there really were powerful and devious forces intent on silencing Epstein, they would have wanted to eliminate him before the current imbroglio exploded into the headlines, and started exposing names – maybe before he even returned from France to be arrested.
Enough balls have now started rolling, that Epstein’s death doesn’t necessarily prevent additional exposures and the naming of new names. A grand jury or other investigations are almost certainly ongoing, and may result charges against others still alive.
His sidekick and procurer Maxwell, a likely prospect for indictment who probably knew just about everything, is still subject to criminal as well as civil actions. Various victims and witnesses have spoken up, and there will almost certainly be investigative articles and books prying into the story and following up.
There’s also likely to be quite an interesting fight over his estate and reported significant wealth. Both sexual and financial victims may come forward and file claims or suits seeking recompense, providing yet another source of revelations about Epstein’s misdeeds.
Ultimately we may find out about as much as we would have under what is perhaps the most likely scenario were Epstein still alive, that he would have taken a plea deal and there never would have been a public trial anyway. The conspiracy theorists will claim a coverup no matter what would have, or does, happen – anything short of Epstein admitting to being part of Pizzagate, would have been unsatisfactory to some.
Is he dead? Or is he enjoying his best life on some island?
He’s dead.
Don’t bet the house on it.
There are some pretty convincing pics of him laying dead as they load the body into an ambulance .
So, I think he’s definitely dead, but I’m not convinced that it was suicide. I think there’s a strong possibility of murder, but I know the autopsy report will claim suicide, no matter what the findings.
Wow! Just wow!
My reaction too.
Who says there’s no good news these days?
This is not good news unless your name is William Jefferson Clinton.
Dead men tell no tales.
Epstein probably wasn’t going to say anything anyway, so he did a public service and saved us a lot of tax dollars. For once, he did the right thing.
Its good news for some very bad people.
You’re right on that score.
One can’t help loving the Maxwell family! Robert Maxwell stole in excess of one billion pounds from everyday people in the UK and now, what do we see? Ghislaine smiling satanically at the camera!
We most likely have no idea what is really happening. I bet this is nothing compared to all the ‘classified’ documents’ contents.
If you want to know which ‘hidden hand’ is behind this, you wouldn’t need to look any further afield than London.
One memorable and noticeable thing when Princess Diana died was how long it took for the Queen to make any public, personal statement of sorrow, comfort or regret, as she was beholden to do, precisely because of her position. For those who had to handle protocol, it was difficult to manage, as well as to explain what was taking her so long to do the right thing, especially in the face of intense international attention and grief.
She seemed to have cooperated only after there was both diplomatic pressure and the expression of public exasperation and puzzlement about her lack of acknowledgment.
Would the royals have desired that Epstein’s case would leave them alone? Of course. Nevertheless, there are many with the influence and power to have arranged the death of Epstein, if he didn’t kill himself. Unless things go quite unusually, we are likely to never know what really happened. Everything people can control can be lied about, too. Before, during and after the event itself.
As of now, no news outlet can state definitively even whether or not Epstein had a cellmate or how closely Epstein was being monitored. Different sources claim different and conflicting details as accurate. His death could end up like the death of JFK, deliberately analyzed without deliberative accuracy or truthfulness, not that JFK’s murder is was the only one that corruption didn’t want answered.
When something corrupt gets in trouble, the solution is most likely going to be corrupt as well.
The news reports are creating confusion over Epstein’s death on purpose. We will find out what happened eventually.
Even the military has a saying, that first reports are always wrong. Confusion is a normal part of the human condition.
The documents released yesterday point to Epstein’s involvement with the Israeli Mossad.
For example Bill Richardson is a former Secretary of Energy.
The Department of Energy actually designs and builds America’s nuclear weapons, not the Defense Department.
And Epstein’s 10,000 acre Zorro Ranch near Santa Fe, New Mexico is actually quite close to the Los Alamos Nuclear Laboratory where nuclear weapons are designed.
Los Alamos is where the first atomic bombs were built in 1945 and is still used to design nuclear weapons.
I smell blackmail and espionage behind all of the pedophilia.
Stanley, NM is actually on the opposite side of Santa Fe from Los Alamos – not close at all.
Maybe it’s a super-dooper-sekrit that Epstein had a thing for hot air balloons (his ranch is nearer to Albuquerque, famous for them).
SMH
You are correct. Apples don’t fall far from the tree in the Maxwell family.
I hope that Virginia Roberts is well protected, because the same powerful people will want her silenced too.
Wow! I wasn’t expecting this to be my first read of the day.
There you go again, Claviger.
Claviger is not reporting news here.
He’s doing the tabloid “Space Aliens” story here.
Look asshole, I’ve got 2 words for you:
Aaron Hernandez.
You can hang yourself with a thin bedsheet tied to horizontal prison bars.
You can hang yourself with the pants you’re wearing or long socks, if you’re motivated enough.
He was facing the REST OF HIS LIFE behind bars and he had no way out, other than suicide.
His reputation and fortune was ruined. He had NOTHING to look forward to on this Earth.
Anybody in his position would have wanted the EASY way out.
Suicide was not only a logical solution for him, it was practically guaranteed.
Trying to claim that the guards purposely housed him with other inmates (so that he could be assassinated) is totally laughable — since this case is so HIGH PROFILE that there’s gonna be a detailed autopsy which the mainstream news media will be reporting 24 hours per day, once its released.
Thus, if those prison guards ‘lied’ (and had him assassinated) they’ll be fully prosecuted and going to prison themselves, in a very public way.
That’s why it’s easy to know they didn’t do what Claviger is implying.
Nothing to see here, fellow readers.
Frank has gone off the deep end by allowing Claviger to write this story.
*meant to say vertical prison bars. 🙂
J.C.,
You must have had a lot of errands to do today – which is why you didn’t read the whole post. Had you done so, you would have read these paragraphs:
Given the July 24th incident when Epstein was found near-unconscious in his cell – and given the rumors that many powerful people throughout the world could have harmed by the facts that would be revealed at his trial next year – Epstein should have been being held in solitary protective custody at MCC.
That sort of arrangement would have ensured he was in a cell by himself, that he was being monitored 24/7 by prison staff, and that he did not come into contact with other prisoners
Whether that’s the type of placement he was in at the time of his death has yet to be revealed.
*****
Given the prior incident – plus the likelihood that he was going to end up with life sentence – Epstein should have been in solitary protective custody. If he wasn’t in such a placement, then prison officials enabled him to commit suicide or allowed someone to fake it.
That’s how it works in prison in the real world…
I abhor conspiracy theories. The Jeffrey Epstein suicide is an exception. The entire staff at MDC should be investigated by the FBI to find out what happened.
If that was the case, then why did he plead Not Guilty? Why not plead guilty, no trial, and then hang yourself? I’m not saying he didn’t kill himself, but 2 attempts in the matter of weeks for a guy wanting to fight it out at trial? You don’t smell anything?
Because that’s what his lawyers told him to do. They get paid more that way, just think of the billable hours. The legal reasons for pleading not guilty are to hope the prosecution makes a technical error and to see the extent of evidence they present, in order to introduce a reasonable doubt regarding some/all of the charges.
Bobbi,
People always plead not guilty at arraignments in the United States. It’s procedure.
Dear Jesus,
I am starting to understand why God allowed you to die…….
…for our sins.
****
“Look asshole, I’ve got 2 words for you”, Jesus.
@KR Claviger:
You’re right in saying that a lot of people wanted him dead but they have every incentive to keep him alive. If he dies, documentary evidence gets released, evidence that would implicate too many powerful people.
The same thing would happen if he went to trial and was deposed; therefore, the only solution is to smuggle him out of jail and out of the country.
There is no particular reason why any of the evidence that had been gathered against Epstein will be released. He had no co-defendants in his case – and the pending charges he was facing die with him.
The only way that at least some of that evidence will definitely become public is if one or more victims sue his estate – and actually goes to trial. We’ll just have to wait and see if that happens.
He may have died but his victims are still alive and free to tell of their experiences.
Krclaviger,
Did Jeffrey Epstein have a cell mate when he hung himself?
I assume Jeffrey Epstein no longer had a cell mate.
We’re trying to track that info down. Given his prior incident, he should have been in an isolated cell and under observation via camera 24/7. Not the same as Suicide Watch rules but still very tight. Also, all suicide-related materials should have been taken away from him: e.g., shoelaces, T-shirts, socks, sheets, pillow cases, etc.
A simple explanation:
At the end of the day the conspiracy setup/assassination may have been nothing more than….
….providing/allowing Jeffrey Epstein the opportunity to kill himself.
There is nothing like old fashioned 1960’s Plausible Deniability.
Oddly enough men who kill police officers frequently end up committing suicide alone in there cells. No conspiracy there. 😉
I hope he had an “Open in the event of my untimely demise” letter leading to all the “burn” files!!?? Thinking he would, otherwise they could have bumped him off years ago. Always have insurance!
Bobbi Joe,
Excellent point! We’ll never know though.
Epstein is alive. He was smuggled out of MCC in a joint CIA/Mossad operation. He has Deadman switches in safety deposit boxes all over the world, as well as in cold-storage with trusted confidants. Through his attorneys, word was sent to “the right people” that he was to be taken out of jail, and then on to Israel.

I would not be surprised if you are correct!
Alex-come-on-you-know-better!
Alex-quite-offen-you-act-like-a-agent-provocator. Do-you-work-for-SPECTER?
She knows too much.
Who ordered his killing?
Too many to count.
It was just a matter of who got there first.
“That was a close one”
Epstein was Arkancided.
The Clinton’s got to Epstein! Another loose end taken care of.
My thoughts exactly.
Yeah, That Bob-
The same Hillary & Bill team who could not fix the presidential election against Trump or the primary against Obama, killed Epstein.
I am you and your brethren would claim the “Jews” did it, if not for the inconvenient fact that Epstein was a Jew.
So true!!!
The Pedos don’t mess around. Epstein was about to sing like a canary to the Feds.
That is unless 007, a contributor to this discussion is right!! 🙂
