Contrary to popular belief, there is not a readily and highly available supply of assassins and hitmen in the world. The problem with this whole "he totally didn't kill himself" thing is...okay, so how did they kill him? Because you can't just put a gun in the hand of an unwilling person and force them to shoot themselves without leaving evidence.

I think you heavily under estimate what normal people motivated by money are capable of doing. In my friends highschool, some businesses guy was paying highschool kids (16 - 17 ish) to strangle car owners and steal their cars. They were later caught. Also, watch or read Killers of The Flowers Moon. The problem with planned murder is that it is all hidden, and the details are fuzzy. So there is alot of reasonable doub…

> normal people motivated by money… strangle car owners and steal their cars…

Those are not in any way normal people. If someone makes it to 16-17 y/o without acquiring that fundamental moral lesson, I would not characterize them as normal, whatever the cause of that failure.

It's pretty brutal if nobody cares about the optics of this anymore, just kill off whoever is inconvenient. I guess after Epstein's "two cameras malfunction" nobody cares about any public backlash and there is "normal day in Russia" to be inspired from...

I did say "appears," but this is some Epstein levels of "coincidence." I'm not really a conspiracy-theory type, but I mean c'mon. Does anyone believe that Epstein killed himself? Makes me think of this little stand-up comedy snippet. https://www.reddit.com/r/StandUpComedy/comments/14rcr7n/cons... "I understand not believing in most conspiracy theories, but NONE? You really think the government's batting 100? They ain…

If you believe Epstein was murdered you are in a tiny, tiny, tiny minority of very gullible or very simple minded people. Upon a cursory review of both the facts of the matter and the very best arguments conspiracists can copy and paste, it is self-evident that he killed himself.

And the cameras just happened to be out of order when he chose to kill himself of course.

You are talking about a company that participated in CIA kidnappings. Surely they can find a way. https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/aclu-sues-boeing-subsidi...

The CIA and NED are way to interested in the wellbeing of Americans to do something so heinous. /s

While I can't see "Boeing" (as a whole command structure) can be blamed for his death I do see the possibility of some corrupt person in a high position fearing what he had on him personally and ordered a strike against him.

Karen Silkwood died under very suspicious circumstances. She had documents that described Kerr-McGee lax safety at a plutonium fuel plant, that went missing after her car was found with damage to rear in an ostensibly single car front end fatal accident, along with a cocktail of illegal drugs.

You put the gun in their hands after you shoot them, as in every movie ever.

Firing a gun leaves residue on your hands etc. They can tell whether you fired it

We don't know that this was the result of a state actor. It could also have been someone who bought a ton of Boeing calls before the safety scandals.

> “It could also have been someone who bought a ton of Boeing calls” Now I’m imagining a show set in Greenwich, Connecticut, where a gentle white-haired family man trades options during the day and manages assassinations after the kids go to bed. “The Americans” meets “The Big Short”?

I hope they cast esteemed character actress and fugitive from the law Margo Martindale as the hitwoman!

If you had a point that you expressed without rambling anger, you might have a place. Go somewhere else if you want to express yourself like that, plenty of other places for that kind of attitude.

This is just a bunch of conspiracy theories. As in, a list of various government factions conspiring on various assassination campaigns. It's a good theory mind you. I would love to see evidence for the opposing theory.
