Conspiracy theories? Seriously? [View all]

There's been quite a lot of traffic here about conspiracy theories regarding Epstein, and it's getting to the point of serious nausea.

"Conspiracy" is a great word and certainly a conversation starter, but let's keep a simple fact in mind: some government agencies do make people disappear for various reasons. The U.S. Marshals Service, for instance, has the Witness Security Program, which provides safety for witnesses in some types of major criminal cases. That's not a conspiracy: it's a legal mandate and SOP for the agency.

So to poh-poh the idea that Epstein may have been spirited away by a government agency for whatever reason, and to call it a tin-hat conspiracy theory is baloney. It's a question that needs to be asked: did he really die?

If it turns out he really died, then, fine; it's settled. But so far all we have as proof is what we've been told.

Maybe we just need more people from Missouri: "Show me."

I'm not going to get into why he may have been spirited away: that's a whole other conversation and I'm not going to waste my time on speculation. I can go there IF we find out he didn't really die.
