\u201cI can understand people who immediately, whose minds went to sort of the worst-case scenario because it was a perfect storm of screw-ups,\u201d<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0Barr\u00a0told AP on Thursday<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This perfect storm of unlucky oopsies include:<\/p>\n \u201cThe attorney general also sought to dampen conspiracy theories by people who have questioned whether Epstein really took his own life, saying the evidence proves Epstein killed himself,<\/strong>\u201d AP reports.<\/p>\n \u201cHe added that he personally reviewed security footage that confirmed that no one entered the area where Epstein was housed on the night he died.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Well if reporting that he\u2019s reviewed footage which we were previously told didn\u2019t exist isn\u2019t enough to dampen those kooky conspiracy theories, I don\u2019t know what is.<\/strong><\/p>\n So there you have it. The US government says that an\u00a0intelligence<\/a>\u00a0asset<\/a>\u00a0with\u00a0damning information<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0many<\/a>\u00a0powerful<\/a>\u00a0individuals<\/a>\u00a0did in fact kill himself due to an admittedly bizarre and wildly unlikely series of strange coincidences. I for one have no more questions. Checkmate, conspiracy theorists.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cMr. Epstein\u2019s death in August at a federal detention center in Manhattan set off a rash of unfounded conspiracy theories on social media that were picked up and repeated by high-profile figures, including Mayor Bill de Blasio and former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani. No matter their ideology, the refrain of the theories was the same: Something did not add up,\u201d\u00a0says\u00a0The New York Times<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in its report Barr\u2019s statements.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Couldn\u2019t have said it better myself.\u00a0It\u2019s a completely unfounded conspiracy theory to believe that someone with ties to powerful institutions and individuals might be murdered in a way that was made to look like a suicide. We don\u2019t live in a world where opaque organizations do evil things in secret,<\/strong>\u00a0we live in a world where the government is always our friend and the TV would never lie to us. I\u2019m glad these comments made by Barr (whose father in another strange coincidence\u00a0gave Epstein his first job<\/a>) have at long last struck a fatal blow to anyone who would doubt the beneficent hand of our beloved institutions.<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/JonLemire\/status\/1197837031759654912?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1197837031759654912&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zerohedge.com%2Fpolitical%2Fbarr-ends-all-conspiracy-theories-forever-saying-epstein-died-series-coincidences<\/p>\n It\u2019s hard to imagine what more the US government and its allied political\/media class could possibly do to quell conspiracy theories that now have Hollywood celebrities\u00a0clamoring for government internet censorship<\/a>.\u00a0I guess if they really,\u00a0really<\/em>\u00a0wanted to dampen conspiracy theories, there are a few more extremely drastic steps that could be taken. Steps like not lying all the time.\u00a0<\/strong>And maybe not hiding immense amounts of information about what the most powerful institutions in the world are doing behind thick walls of government opacity. And maybe cease promoting conspiracies themselves, as with Russiagate. And maybe stop secretly doing depraved things. And maybe stop engaging in conspiracies.<\/p>\n Pretty sure Barr\u2019s assurances will be enough to do the trick, though.<\/p>\n\n
