The media is reporting the U.S. Justice Department’s spiel that the billionaire financier and accused child sex trafficker killed himself by hanging in the New York Metropolitan Correctional Center—a facility controlled and operated by the DOJ.

There is a popular saying, “speak truth to power.” There is a lesser known saying, “power kills problems.”

Epstein was a big problem to a lot of very powerful and politically influential people across the globe. This problem became acute last fall when Miami Herald’s Julie K. Brown resurrected the extremely favorable treatment Epstein received from the DOJ in a number of child sex offenses. The media coverage ultimately forced U.S. Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, the DOJ prosecutor who orchestrated Epstein’s infamous plea deal, to resign and skedaddle out of Washington.

The Epstein problem forced the DOJ to remove Epstein from the uncontrolled environment of the free world and place him in the controlled environment of a federal jail cell.

It would be difficult, if not logistically impracticable to remove a billionaire problem through suicide or homicide in a free world setting. Not so in a jail setting where suicide is a fairly routine occurrence. This prevalent fixture of the jail experience allows jailers to casually dismiss the “conspiracy theories.”

President Trump is already fueling the conspiracy mania by implying that former President Bill Clinton arranged Epstein’s suicide.

I don’t guess the president understands how it looks for him to concede that the “hated Clintons” have so much influence that they could get inside a Trump DOJ-run jail facility and kill off the most infamous inmate in America.

One thing for certain: blaming the Clintons removes the conspiracy theory lens from the Trump insider machine – or so they think.

The best way to cover up a real conspiracy is to flood the public arena with hundreds of false, incredulous conspiracies—like Bill wrapping Jeffery’s pants leg around the pedophile’s neck while Hillary stood watch “for the man” at the end of hallway just outside the shower area while the other tier inmates snored the night away.

Epstein was the recipient of a political conspiracy—at one level or another. Attorney General William P. Barr’s DOJ did not suddenly revisit the pedophile’s case out of a sense of justice. The decision was remove Epstein from the uncontrolled free world environment and place him in the controlled jail cell environment was made far beyond AG Barr’s sense of justice, much less a commitment to do the right thing.

The Miami Herald’s front page disclosures about Epstein’s 2008 plea deal undeniably created a political need to neutralize him. An arrest and an indictment for a laundry list of child sex trafficking charges would do the trick—one that would generate the right media narrative.

Once he realized that he had been double-crossed by his “rich and powerful friends,” it can be reasonably speculated that he sent them word that he would take care of the “problem” himself with a “jail suicide;” that their pedophile secret would go to the grave with him.

Not a stupid man, Epstein concluded that was a better way to “go out” than to be sodomized by a couple of Aryan Brotherhood goons before they slit his throat on the promise that their “old ladies” would get a “get out of jail free” pass.

Now Epstein’s “rich buds” can breathe a sigh of relief. The jail tier video has been doctored or removed. The problem is dead. 

And what the fuck, the rich and powerful pedophiles can blame the Clintons for the dirty deed.
