A short while ago, in my piece about Black Holes consuming the good, the bad, and the ugly, I outlined ten sound reasons Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself like FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino said he did. I discovered more information on why this is a cover-up. The information comes from Joel Skousen’s weekly World Affairs Brief, which I’ve found to be an impeccable source.
Jail designer C.C. Rider says it’s impossible. Rider says, “Epstein didn’t hang himself, and I can prove it. I am certain, however, that if he died (if, in fact, he did), it could not have come from hanging. It simply is not possible to create the conditions inside a Special Housing Unit (SHU) cell that would make hanging possible.
In the early 1980s, I helped develop a modular prison construction product that cut construction time in half. The sole difference between a SHU cell and a general population cell was that the SHU cell was specifically designed to prevent hanging.
The SHU cell had three fixtures that could potentially be used for hanging; the overhead light, the wardrobe hanger and the sprinkler head. The overhead light fixture was bolted flush to the concrete ceiling. The bolts holding the fixture were only two inches apart and inaccessible without a special tool.
The wardrobe hanger was a flat plate with six hooks used for hanging clothing. Each hook had a slip mechanism that would hold only so much weight. There is no way it would hold the weight of a grown man.
The sprinkler head had a stainless steel shroud covering it. The shroud was in the shape of a cone. Any rope would simply slip off the head.”
If nothing else, food for thought about what happens inside the Black Hole. And keep in mind, the airways are silent from Bondi, Patel, and Bongino.
I don’t blame anyone for thinking Epstein’s death was suspicious. We’ve all been lied to, manipulated, gaslit by people in power, left and right. So yeah, when something shady happens, it’s natural to think, they did it again. I’ve been down that road too. We all have.
But sometimes it’s not malice. Sometimes it’s just raw, stupid negligence. There’s an old saying: Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity. And I hate to say it, but Trump’s administration, who was in charge at the time, gave us no shortage of that.
Remember, this was the same administration that put a 22-year-old former grocery store clerk and lawnmower boy in charge of counterterrorism literally weeks before a war with Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism. Let that sink in. While serious threats were brewing, they handed national security over to someone whose most recent qualification was pushing carts at Safeway and mowing lawns for grandma next door. That’s not just a bad hire. That’s dangerously incompetent.
So when you look at how Epstein died... yes, in federal custody, under Trump’s watch, it’s not some all-powerful cabal tying up loose ends. It’s a bunch of half-asleep morons who couldn’t run a Chili’s, let alone a prison. That's the real scandal. And if we excuse it because it was “our guy” in charge, then we’re no better than the folks we rail against.
Maybe it's because of my experience in corporate, but if we want to call ourselves truth-seekers, we have to be willing to stare down stupidity even when it wears our jersey.
