Deke Dickerson just said on Facebook "If you're surprised about Jeffrey Epstein's death this morning....just imagine how surprised HE was!"

They're not even pretending anymore. Brings to mind that Zappa quote:

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”

yup, they hold us in such contempt they no longer see the need to lie to us anymore. They see that no matter how preposterous the garbage they serve up to us, we still vote them back in or buy their shit.

Is he actually dead... or has he been whisked off to one of his islands somewhere remote?

That depends on how awkward it would be if he ever showed up alive again.

I was picturing something like the ending of the BFG....

Manhattan Attorney General says that the investigation will continue, as there is a conspiracy element.

So who do we reckon ordered the hit/'suicide'?

Top 3 in the betting IMO

1. Trump
2. British Royal Family
3. The Clintons

  

He was in a position to turn the alleged and unproven accusations against Prince Andrew into actual potential charges.  

The idea that a senior royal was having sex with underage girls could easily bring down the monarchy.

I'd be amazed if it wasn't the British government who did it.

I can't see that bringing down the monarchy, it's just Prince Andrew that would be shafted.

What about the videos that were discovered in his safe?

Anyway, the investigation is still ongoing:

Would be perfect excuse to skip a generation and make William King rather than Charles

I'm not aware that Charles is implicated in any of this?

I would trust Charles not to have been at dodgy parties in the US far more than I'd trust William...

The fact he's dead suggests Chris Grayling wasn't involved.

although it is possibly Grayling was the guard on suicide watch.

That reminds me of the Spitting Image skit that was done with him at the Royal Variey Performance where he talks about the 'Shaftesbury'.

Did I just hear that right on the news? He was taken OFF suicide watch a couple of days ago?!  

One of the most high profile prisoners on the planet, less than a couple of weeks from a previous failed suicide attempt, and he gets taken OFF suicide watch. Either some Grade A incompetence from the prison, or there's something fishy going on....
