Insinuating media is in on 'the coverup'

What do ya mean?
Why not?
Peter is implicating them, not me.....I've seen no evidence that the media saw that the gurney was sheets and box stuffing.
Think CT.
Ayup. It's kind of stunning, really. The Epstein honeypot represents a majory national security failure. Epstein was a obviously collecting dirt on rich and powerful people. We haven't yet found any of that dirt (the recent files release is just a recap of the crap left around for the FBI to chew on). It's a safe bet that someone still has it, and is still using it to manipulate the compromised people.
Guarantee you it will never be released.
Sure. That's how I'd bet. I doubt our government even has the dirtpile. But with regard to the government's investigation of this core issue regarding Epstein's network - the silence is deafening. We get tabloid headlines instead.

If you're interested, I've done a lot more thinking about this and have had a few more viral Reddit threads since I posted this here.
-------------------
This time I want to come at this from a completely different angle. Not systems. Not protocols. Not probability.
Psychology.
Specifically, I want to ask a question that I haven't seen anyone ask, and the answer might be the most damning thing about this entire case.
THE FACILITY
First, some context about where Epstein was held.
The Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan was not some underfunded county lockup. The LA Times called it the Guantanamo of New York. This was the premier federal pretrial detention facility in the country, purpose built to hold the most dangerous and high profile inmates in the federal system.
This facility held El Chapo, the head of the Sinaloa Cartel, a man whose organization had literally broken him out of a maximum security prison in Mexico through a mile long tunnel. A man whose cartel had unlimited resources and was known to attempt helicopter extractions. MCC held him securely. Every camera worked. Every protocol was followed. They wouldn't even let one of his associates use the rooftop exercise yard because of intelligence about escape plans. That's how seriously they took security for high profile inmates. More inmates...
Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, the Gambino crime family underboss who flipped on John Gotti.
Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, a convicted terrorist transferred directly from Guantanamo Bay for his role in the 1998 US Embassy bombings.
The Blind Sheikh, convicted in connection with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
ISIS inspired bombers. Cartel kingpins. Mafia underbosses. Terrorists transferred from Guantanamo. All held securely at MCC New York.
And then Jeffrey Epstein arrives. And suddenly 10 of 11 cameras in the Special Housing Unit aren't recording. Guards are asleep. Suicide watch has been removed. His cellmate has been transferred out with no replacement. Count slips are missing. And he ends up dead.
Same facility.
THE QUESTION I HAVEN'T SEEN ASKED
Forget the systems for a second. Forget the cameras and the protocols. I want you to do something simple.
Put yourself in the situation.
You're the officer in charge (OIC) when Jeffrey Epstein arrives at your facility. He's the most famous inmate in America. Every news outlet in the country has reporters parked outside your building. The Attorney General of the United States is paying attention. Congress is paying attention. The entire world is paying attention.
Your career, your reputation, your entire professional legacy is now tied to one thing: what happens to this man in your custody. If you are not corrupt, what is your mindset right now?
I'll tell you if it's not obvious.
You are terrified. Not of the inmate. Of the spotlight.
You're thinking "if anything happens to this man on my watch, my career is over. My name will be in the news forever. I will be the person who let the most important pretrial detainee in federal history die. I will be investigated. I will be fired. I might be prosecuted."
So what do you do?
You check the cameras personally. You walk the unit yourself. You verify that suicide watch is airtight. You make sure the officers assigned to his unit are your best people, not fill ins pulling overtime, not people who might fall asleep. You call maintenance if a single camera flickers. You double-check the cell assignment. You confirm he has a cellmate. You document every decision in writing so that if something does go wrong, nobody can pin it on you.
You don't sleep well until this man is out of your facility or in someone else's custody.
That's not going above and beyond. That is the baseline, minimum, default human response to having the most scrutinized inmate in the country in your building. Pure self-preservation. You over-perform because the cost of failure is your entire career.
Every single person in that chain of command, from the warden down to the officer on the unit, had the same incentive. Protect yourself by protecting him. Keep everything running. Document everything. Cover your own ass by making sure nothing goes wrong.
That's what normal, non-corrupt humans do under that kind of pressure.
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED
Now here's what actually happened at MCC on the night of August 9th, 2019:
10 of 11 cameras in the Special Housing Unit were not recording. A lieutenant had typed a memo two days earlier noting the cameras were down. On the unit housing the most important inmate in federal custody.
Two officers assigned to Epstein's unit fell asleep simultaneously and later admitted to falsifying records. One of them wasn't even an experienced correctional officer.
Suicide watch was administratively removed shortly before his death, a decision requiring sign-off from people who knew exactly who they were making that decision about.
His cellmate was transferred out. The chain of command wasn't properly notified. No replacement was assigned. A "must-have-a-cellmate" condition just quietly disappeared.
Multiple required inmate counts were not conducted. Count slips were missing or suspect.
Excessive linens were found in his cell, in a Special Housing Unit where materials are tightly controlled specifically to prevent what allegedly happened.
His final note "does not appear to be a suicide note" according to investigators' own internal emails. They ruled it suicide anyway.
The surveillance footage the DOJ released as "raw" was actually edited in Adobe Premiere Pro with approximately three minutes removed. A UC Berkeley digital forensics expert said it would be unsuitable for court.
An unidentified orange figure was observed on camera moving up the stairs toward Epstein's tier at 10:39 PM. The FBI called it "possibly an inmate." The Inspector General called it an officer carrying linens. The officer on duty said she never distributed linens. "I never gave out linen. Ever. Because that's done on the shift prior."
The officer who found Epstein's body and says he "ripped" him down from a hanging position does not remember removing the noose. "I don't recall taking the noose off. I really don't. I don't recall taking the thing from around his neck." The officer watching from the cell entrance didn't see a noose on his neck at all.
And when the body was removed, staff constructed a decoy using boxes and sheets, loaded it into a Medical Examiner van to draw away reporters, while the actual body left in a separate vehicle unobserved. No protocol exists for this. I have never heard of it in my entire corrections career.
THE POINT
Every single thing I just listed is the exact opposite of what normal human behavior would produce under the pressure of managing Jeffrey Epstein.
The incompetence theory doesn't just require bad systems. It requires every person in the chain of command to have behaved in the exact opposite way that self-interest, career preservation, and basic human psychology would dictate.
One person dropping the ball? That's incompetence. An entire chain of command simultaneously acting against their own self-preservation instincts, all in ways that happen to benefit the same outcome, for the same inmate, on the same night?
That's not a failure. That's a result.
MCC held El Chapo securely. His cartel had broken him out of prison before. They had helicopter extraction plans. Unlimited resources. And MCC handled it. Cameras worked. Protocols held. Systems functioned.
Then Jeffrey Epstein, a man whose information was more dangerous to powerful people than El Chapo's cartel was to national security, arrives at the same facility. And every system fails. Every protocol collapses. Every camera goes dark. Every officer falls asleep. Every safeguard evaporates.
The facility was capable of performing. It proved that. It only stopped performing for one inmate.

4 more data points...
7 - The timeline doesn't match.
The official story from 2019: Epstein was found unresponsive, transported to the hospital, and pronounced dead there. If that's true, there's no body at MCC to remove. The Medical Examiner picks up from the hospital, not the jail.
So why do the DOJ documents describe a decoy body operation at MCC?
These two accounts are incompatible. Either the 2019 story was wrong, or the documents describe an operation that shouldn't exist.
8-"Does not appear to be a suicide note."
The DOJ files contain emails between investigators discussing Epstein's final written note. One message states that the note "does not appear to be a suicide note."
They ruled it a suicide anyway.
9- The "raw" video wasn't raw.
The DOJ released what they called the "full raw" surveillance footage from the night of Epstein's death. Independent forensic analysts examined the metadata. What they found:
The video was assembled from at least two separate clips using Adobe Premiere Pro. It was saved multiple times before being uploaded, and approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds of footage were removed, not the "one missing minute" officials originally attributed to a nightly system reset, but nearly three full minutes that were cut.
A digital forensics expert from UC Berkeley reviewed the file and said: "If a lawyer brought me this file and asked if it was suitable for court, I'd say no."
The government released edited footage and called it raw.
10 - The 4chan post was real.
On the morning of August 10, 2019, before Epstein's death was publicly reported, an anonymous post appeared on 4chan. The poster claimed to be a prison employee. He said Epstein had been wheeled out in a medical wheelchair, that an unauthorized van arrived and wasn't signed in, that a man in military dress was in the back of the van, and that he believed "they switched him out."

I want proof that he's dead. Even a photo from the morgue would be better than nothin.
It's in the same file as OBL.

Perhaps they may have been slipped a Mickey. Somebody could have slipped something in their coffee, food or whatever. It's not logical assume they were involved in a conspiracy to release JE just because they fell asleep.
But I doubt if they were tested for drugs in their systems.

We need a judge to order it exhumed. How do we know it's not the fake body that was buried? or no body?? We don't.

Too much truth.
You aware of emails from the DOJ release referred to Epsteins death as a murder and the ME was forced into signing a NDA?
It was revealed on Primetime last night.
More to come.
