thewashingtonstandard--2020-01-09--Opposing War With Iran Doesn’t Make You Conservative Or Liberal – It Makes You Smart

Despite the establishment telling Americans otherwise , the United States is marching directly into a major conflict with Iran that could have catastrophic implications .
The two-party paradigm ’ s grip on Trump supporters has them shifting from previously supporting Trump ’ s anti-intervention stance on which he campaigned , into full on support for a senseless and dangerous war .
This is the exact same scenario that unfolded with Obama when he turned the antiwar Left into pro-war interventionists .
If you stand against this escalation , according to the establishment , you are anti-America .
But in reality @ @ @ @ @ @ @ To those foolish enough to be supporting such idiotic war games , consider the fact that Iran is not Iraq or Afghanistan or Syria or Libya .
Iran ’ s military is ranked as the 14th most powerful armed forces in the world by Global Firepower ’ s 2019 Military Strength Ranking .
A war with them would not resemble that of a war with Iraq .
Instead , Americans would see large scale cyber attacks on our infrastructure , clandestine operations carried out inside the United States , and potential nuclear fallout @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are likely .
Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard , who deployed on two combat tours to Iraq , painted the picture perfectly in a tweet pointing out that a war with Iran would make the Iraq war look like a picnic .
“ As someone who understands the situation in Iraq and Syria , I can tell you that if we do not get our troops out of Iraq and Syria now , we will be dragged deeper and deeper into a quagmire and war that will make the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan look @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We agree .
This entire debacle started over “ top secret ” claims that the US was under an impending threat from Qassim Suleimani and his forces .
Americans were never once shown any evidence of this .
We are merely supposed to believe them and then go off and die in a war for them .
What ’ s more , this “ most dangerous man in the world ” was praised by America just four years ago as his Quds Forces not only helped push back ISIS in Iraq , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
To those paying attention , and not buying the same lies , quite literally , that got us into both quagmires in Afghanistan and Iraq , this march to war with Iran started well before Trump came into office .
Iran is a country who is rich in resources and operates outside of the US Dollar .
This makes them an enemy to the establishment and slated for invasion .
It has been the plan since Bill Clinton was in office and was documented in the neoconservative PNAC report .
This was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO , that the U.S. planned on going to war with Iran , according to a 2001 memo from the U.S. Secretary of Defense .

It should .

Spoiler alert : It won ’ t .
The only thing different this time is the lack of support from US allies around the world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attempts to launch World War III .

The only thing different this time is the lack of support from US allies around the world who are watching in dismay as America attempts to launch World War III. As Thomas Luongo points out:
Normally when something like this happens the U.S. has all of its allies lined up with statements at the ready. A gaggle of the usual suspects behind lecterns pledging support replete with the requisite hand-wringing and virtue signaling. That didn’t happen this time. Only arm-twisting by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo cajoled a few lukewarm responses from European allies stunned by Trump’s violations of International Law and escalation of hostilities. It’s clear Trump stunned them into silence. Because they know the world is more dangerous today than it was a week ago.
Indeed.
The time is now for Americans to wake up and realize that a war with Iran, with no support from other countries, will make America the bad guys. Iran isn’t invading other countries and bombing them. America is. Iran is assassinating foreign leaders on peace missions. America is. Iran is building bases around the world and bending nations to their will through threats and drone strikes. America is.
Do not mistake the anti-Iran war stance as support for Iran. This is the tactic of the establishment. You can be against the Iranian state and still be against the war. You can be a Democrat and be against the war just like you can be a Republican and be against the war. It’s called thinking for yourself and realizing that this war will be hell.
Iran is no bastion of freedom, but this conflict that will result from further provocation with them will be far worse than any petty tyrant asserting their will in the Middle East. Supporting this war makes you complicit in the hellish reality that will ensue. It makes you the opposite of a patriot. It makes you a sheep being willingly led off to slaughter.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-01-09--My Articles Of Impeachment Against Donald Trump

As Donald Trump enters 2020 , he faces two articles of impeachment : 1 ) Abuse of power , and 2 ) Obstruction of Congress .
“ High crimes and misdemeanors is a basis for impeachment , the constitutional remedy for presidential behavior that subverts our democratic institutions , ” Napolitano wrote .
“ In Mr. Trump ’ s case , we have undisputed evidence that he abused his power by inviting a foreign government to interfere in the 2020 presidential election and then compounded this by directing subordinates to refrain from giving congressionally commanded evidence of his behavior.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if the president ’ s behavior , though uncharged , nevertheless amounted to ‘ high crimes and misdemeanors , ’ he should be impeached , ” Napolitano wrote .
Trump ’ s withholding of military aid to Ukraine until the quid pro quo of Ukraine ’ s announcement of a criminal investigation into former vice president Joe Biden was , according to Napolitano , a “ shakedown.
” “ In the language of the streets , this is a shakedown , ” wrote Napolitano .
“ It sought to enhance Mr. Trump ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ relationship to American foreign policy.
” Napolitano further said that Trump ’ s refusal to cooperate with the initial investigation that led to the impeachment proceedings have left charges against him “ essentially uncontested.
” “ Because Mr. Trump declined to participate in the House investigation that resulted in the construction of the articles of impeachment against him—except for his tweets and bluster and the Republicans ’ personal attacks on House Democratic committee chairs—the facts underlying the charges against Mr. Trump are essentially uncontested , ” Napolitano wrote .
“ Everyone who believes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ terrified of a president who thinks and behaves as if it does not apply to him , ” Napolitano added .
“ As the DOJ has stated repeatedly , impeachment is the proper constitutional remedy for that.
” Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe succinctly stated , “ If this isn ’ t impeachable , as many have said , then nothing is.
” You and I both know that if these charges—and the evidence prompting them—were being made against Barack Obama or any other Democrat , virtually every conservative pundit , commentator , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , would absolutely and positively be supporting these articles of impeachment .
And every liberal pundit , commentator , newscaster , podcaster , preacher , etc.
, would be opposing them .
Almost no one from either side of the aisle cares a tinker ’ s dam about truth , justice or constitutional government : It ’ s ALL about partisan politics .
But in my mind , not only should Trump be impeached for the two articles in which he has been impeached , he should be impeached on many more charges @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against Donald Trump : • Bribing prostitutes to keep silent during his presidential campaign in 2016 as a way of influencing the outcome of the election • Dropping over 110,000 bombs and killing tens of thousands of innocent people without the approbation of Congress or a Declaration of War • Using the bully pulpit of the presidency to call for “ red flag ” gun confiscation laws , which has emboldened gun grabbers across the country to enact these Orwellian gun confiscation laws • Using the U.S. Justice Department to establish a national @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the authority to arrest and confiscate the firearms of innocent American citizens on the basis that they “ might ” commit a crime in the future • Passing an executive order that prohibits First Amendment freedom of speech and religion on college campuses , elevates Zionistic Judaism to de facto state religion status , makes every Christian and non-Jew in America second-class citizens and prohibits any criticism of all things Israel on college campuses—which by implication prohibits the reading of the New Testament • Supporting Israel ’ s illegal and immoral apartheid “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that are universally recognized as war crimes and a gross violation of international law • Pardoning war criminals , which makes Donald Trump complicit in their war crimes • Violating the emoluments clause of the U.S. Constitution ( Article.1 .
Section.9 .
Clause.8 . )
• Signing legislation that continues and expands the federal government ’ s spying on the American people • Enacting a Declaration of Emergency to circumvent Congress and authorize federal spending not authorized by Congress • Ceding the autonomy and independence of the United States to international government via @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dollars to fund abortion providers • Providing trillions of taxpayer dollars to foreign governments—many of them hostile to the United States ( such as Israel , Turkey and Saudi Arabia ) • Sending U.S. troops to seize and possess the oil fields of an independent sovereign nation In my book , Donald Trump should face not two but at least twenty articles of impeachment .
And the truth is , many of these charges could have been made against every president , Democrat and Republican , in modern memory .
The fact is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and conservatives ) have not demanded fidelity to constitutional government from their president ( or congressman or senators , for that matter ) since at least the end of World War II .
That Christians and conservatives overlook , defend , excuse and justify the immoral , illegal and unconstitutional conduct of Donald Trump only serves to further ensconce future illegitimate and rogue presidencies .
Each presidency ( regardless of party ) tends only to build upon the worst of its predecessors .
Each time a president is allowed to violate his oath @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Bill of Rights , it only makes it easier for the next president to do more of the same .
Should Donald Trump be impeached ?
You bet he should be .
On at least 20 counts .
In fact , I think we should impeach EVERY president , regardless of party , until one of them decides to actually take his oath to the Constitution seriously .
As long as the American people don ’ t take the Constitution seriously , neither will our elected civil magistrates .

As Donald Trump enters 2020, he faces two articles of impeachment: 1) Abuse of power, and 2) Obstruction of Congress.
Judge Andrew Napolitano is quoted here:
“High crimes and misdemeanors is a basis for impeachment, the constitutional remedy for presidential behavior that subverts our democratic institutions,” Napolitano wrote. “In Mr. Trump’s case, we have undisputed evidence that he abused his power by inviting a foreign government to interfere in the 2020 presidential election and then compounded this by directing subordinates to refrain from giving congressionally commanded evidence of his behavior.” “All three DOJ reports agreed that if the president’s behavior, though uncharged, nevertheless amounted to ‘high crimes and misdemeanors,’ he should be impeached,” Napolitano wrote. Trump’s withholding of military aid to Ukraine until the quid pro quo of Ukraine’s announcement of a criminal investigation into former vice president Joe Biden was, according to Napolitano, a “shakedown.” “In the language of the streets, this is a shakedown,” wrote Napolitano. “It sought to enhance Mr. Trump’s personal political needs and bears no relationship to American foreign policy.” Napolitano further said that Trump’s refusal to cooperate with the initial investigation that led to the impeachment proceedings have left charges against him “essentially uncontested.” “Because Mr. Trump declined to participate in the House investigation that resulted in the construction of the articles of impeachment against him—except for his tweets and bluster and the Republicans’ personal attacks on House Democratic committee chairs—the facts underlying the charges against Mr. Trump are essentially uncontested,” Napolitano wrote. “Everyone who believes in the rule of law should be terrified of a president who thinks and behaves as if it does not apply to him,” Napolitano added. “As the DOJ has stated repeatedly, impeachment is the proper constitutional remedy for that.”
Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe succinctly stated, “If this isn’t impeachable, as many have said, then nothing is.”
You and I both know that if these charges—and the evidence prompting them—were being made against Barack Obama or any other Democrat, virtually every conservative pundit, commentator, newscaster, podcaster, preacher, etc., would absolutely and positively be supporting these articles of impeachment. And every liberal pundit, commentator, newscaster, podcaster, preacher, etc., would be opposing them. Almost no one from either side of the aisle cares a tinker’s dam about truth, justice or constitutional government: It’s ALL about partisan politics.
But in my mind, not only should Trump be impeached for the two articles in which he has been impeached, he should be impeached on many more charges.
Herein are my articles of impeachment against Donald Trump:
Bribing prostitutes to keep silent during his presidential campaign in 2016 as a way of influencing the outcome of the election

Source
Dropping over 110,000 bombs and killing tens of thousands of innocent people without the approbation of Congress or a Declaration of War
Source
Using the bully pulpit of the presidency to call for “red flag” gun confiscation laws, which has emboldened gun grabbers across the country to enact these Orwellian gun confiscation laws
Source
Enacting additional gun control, e.g., a national “bump stock” ban via executive order
Source
Using the U.S. Justice Department to establish a national “pre-crime” law enforcement agency with the authority to arrest and confiscate the firearms of innocent American citizens on the basis that they “might” commit a crime in the future

Passing an executive order that prohibits First Amendment freedom of speech and religion on college campuses, elevates Zionistic Judaism to de facto state religion status, makes every Christian and non-Jew in America second-class citizens and prohibits any criticism of all things Israel on college campuses—which by implication prohibits the reading of the New Testament

Supporting Israel’s illegal and immoral apartheid “settlement” atrocities in the West Bank that are universally recognized as war crimes and a gross violation of international law

Pardoning war criminals, which makes Donald Trump complicit in their war crimes

In my book, Donald Trump should face not two but at least twenty articles of impeachment. And the truth is, many of these charges could have been made against every president, Democrat and Republican, in modern memory.
The fact is, the American people (including Christians and conservatives) have not demanded fidelity to constitutional government from their president (or congressman or senators, for that matter) since at least the end of World War II.
That Christians and conservatives overlook, defend, excuse and justify the immoral, illegal and unconstitutional conduct of Donald Trump only serves to further ensconce future illegitimate and rogue presidencies. Each presidency (regardless of party) tends only to build upon the worst of its predecessors.
Each time a president is allowed to violate his oath to the Constitution and run roughshod over the Bill of Rights, it only makes it easier for the next president to do more of the same.
Should Donald Trump be impeached? You bet he should be. On at least 20 counts.
In fact, I think we should impeach EVERY president, regardless of party, until one of them decides to actually take his oath to the Constitution seriously. As long as the American people don’t take the Constitution seriously, neither will our elected civil magistrates.

Over the weekend Iran offered a bounty of $ 80 Million for Donald Trump ’ s head , literally .
Comedian George Lopez responded , saying that he would do it for $ 40 Million .
As we and others reported Sunday , the Iranian regime placed a bounty of $ 80 million to kill President Trump .
We wondered , somewhat tongue-in-cheek , whether or not Democrats and their far left allies would accept and try to collect the bounty .
On Sunday evening , Breitbart reported , actor George Lopez appeared to do just that .
Except , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , “ We ’ ll do it for half ” of the $ 80 million pledged by Iran , meaning he would murder Trump for $ 40 million .
George Lopez ’ fans might still be laughing , but I doubt Mr. Lopez is .
The secret service is now involved .
Here ’ s more from Next News Network : Over the weekend , “ Comedian ” George Lopez said that he would like to kill President Trump for a payment of $ 40 million .
Conservatives on Twitter then rushed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and now they have responded in a statement to the Daily Caller .
Here ’ s what the Daily Caller just reported : THE UNITED STATES SECRET SERVICE IS “ AWARE ” OF AN INSTAGRAM POST FROM COMEDIAN GEORGE LOPEZ THAT MANY PERCEIVED AS A THREAT ON PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP ’ S LIFE .
“ THE SECRET SERVICE IS AWARE OF THE [ POST ] MADE BY MR. LOPEZ , ” A U.S. SECRET SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD THE DAILY CALLER VIA A STATEMENT .
“ THE SECRET SERVICE TAKES ALL THREATS AGAINST THE @ @ @ @ @ @ @ SERIOUSLY , AND AS A MATTER OF PRACTICE , WE DO NOT COMMENT ON MATTERS INVOLVING PROTECTIVE INTELLIGENCE.

This threat must be taken very seriously .
When did it become OK to throw assassination jokes around about our President ?
It is quite insane really .

Kathy Griffin wasn’t funny with her Trump beheading skit and neither is George Lopez with his comments of accepting an Iranian bounty to kill President Trump.
Lopez is absolutely disgusting.
We are at war with Iran.
America doesn’t need his twisted attempt at humor now.
Both are comedians that crossed a line they should not have crossed.
Both are “has been” performers who got all sorts of attention, in the wrong sort of way.

“ Someone Compromised My IP Address… To Download Child Porn ” : Is NYT Columnist Paul Krugman Getting Ahead Of Possible Child Porn Charges In Twitter Post ?
Editor ’ s Note : I ’ ve had experiences of colleagues of mine receiving suspicious spam email with PDFs in them that they did not open but forwarded to be examined which contained child porn .
However , they simply made other colleagues aware due to the nature of their activism so that they would not open them and reminded them that even if deleted , traces remained on the computer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them .
I never received such a thing , but at least two others did .
They never took to Twitter to post something like Krugman did , which makes his posting very suspicious , don ’ t you think ?
What would you do if a hacker planted child porn on your computer or phone ?
You ’ d delete is and keep your mouth shut , wouldn ’ t you ?
Admission that it was there and trying to spin a story of your innocence looks like guilt in 2020 .

There is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ innocence of a crime before you are even suspected of committing it .

Child Porn is big business in America.

Let’s see what some people on Twitter think.
It's absurd to think somebody would announce an attack on Twitter before it's been resolved. Anyone with any sense would not be worrying about optics this early. https://t.co/KHCXX92SNp — Erik Foreman (@ForemanErik) January 8, 2020

thewashingtonstandard--2020-01-10--Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself: Graphic Death Photos Reveal

n January 5 , 60 Minutes released photos from Jeffrey Epstein ’ s cell the morning of his death .
Epstein , 66 , was found dead on August 10 , 2019 in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges .
His death had been ruled a suicide by the New York City Medical Examiner ’ s office .
Epstein ’ s brother Mark had hired Dr. Michael Baden , a forensic pathologist and a former New York City medical examiner , to investigate his brother ’ s death @ @ @ @ @ @ @ four-hour autopsy , and after seeing all of the evidence below , he believes this is more consistent with murder .
The majority of the population weighing in on this would agree .
A Quick Recap of The Last 24hrs of Jeffrey Epstein ’ s Life • August 9 , 8:00 a.m. – Epstein ’ s cellmate is transferred out of the prison in a routine , prearranged transfer and he is not assigned a new cellmate .
• August 9 , 7:49 p.m. – Epstein returned to the SHU from a visit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be “ upbeat.
” • August 9 , 10 p.m. – All inmates are locked in their cells for the night .
• August 9 , 10:30 p.m. – Allegedly , this is the last time a guard walked up to the entrance to the area where Epstein was held , until Epstein was found around 6:30 a.m .
They were supposed to do rounds every 30-minutes , but had allegedly skipped them all and falsified records .
• August 10 , 6:00 a.m. – The two guards , Noel and Thomas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ carts and at 6:30 a.m. entered the tier where Epstein was housed .
• August 10 , 6:33 a.m. – The guards find Epstein alone in his cell and unresponsive with a noose around his neck , and activate the alarm in the SHU .
• August 10 , 7:30 a.m. – The paramedics arrived with Epstein at the New York Presbyterian-Lower Manhattan hospital where they eventually pronounced him dead .
Many are still under the belief that Epstein was on suicide watch .
He was not .
He had been taken off @ @ @ @ @ @ @ note : The last suicide at MCC was 14 years ago .
• Petechial hemorrhages of bilateral palpebral conjunctivae and of oral mucosa • Plethora of face and head with petechial hemorrhages of face • Fractures of bilateral thyroid cartilage cornua and left hyoid cornua with accompanying soft tissue hemorrhages Other details can be seen in the report above .
One big misconception floating around on social media is that the note was a “ suicide note.
” Quite the opposite .
In fact , this was a list of complaints .
Why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if he had no intentions of sticking around ?
The list says : “ Kept me in a locked shower stall for 1 hour .
Sent me burnt food .
Giant bugs crawling over my hands .
No fun !
!
” Two nooses were photographed in the cell , while other pieces of bed linen remained tied to various areas of the bunk .
One was taken into evidence , seen in the photo above , presumably because it was thought to be the noose used to kill himself .
There are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The guard who found Epstein allegedly cut him down .
If that were the case , this noose shown above would have cut marks in the fabric and it does not .
“ It doesn ’ t look like anybody ever took scissors to it , ” said 60 Minutes ’ Sharyn Alfonsi .
“ So there is some question—is that the right noose ?
” • There doesn ’ t appear to be any blood on it , yet the photo of Epstein ’ s neck clearly indicates a band of blood @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the noose doesn ’ t appear to match the wound on Epstein ’ s throat .
He also stated , “ there were other wires and cords present that it would ’ ve been easy to use to hang oneself within a few minutes.
” He is referring to the cords from Epstein ’ s sleep apnea machine .
• What they are referring to as the “ second noose , ” shown in a photo below , appears to have a tiny loop in it with a knot and a knot at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a “ noose.
” • The noose that was put into evidence is perfectly intact .
Aside from having no apparent blood on it , how did they possibly slide this loop over his head , when the head is considerably larger than the neck ?
So much pressure was applied that he had fractured his thyroid cartilage and hyoid , leaving a band of blood across his neck .
It would seem it would have had to be extremely tight to cause that level of damage .
Can a bed linen sheet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his head , and if so , how the heck did he hang himself with it if it were that stretchy ?
• The location of the blood mark across his neck seems to be low for a “ hanging , ” and more in line with strangulation .
The mark also would be more consistent with a cord or wire .
I can not imagine a bed sheet causing his neck to bleed .
• One of the pieces of bed sheet tied to the ladder on the bunk bed is measured @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That would put Epstein on his knees .
He was nearly 6 feet tall .
The only conceivable way to cause that much damage to his neck and throat area , would be for him to continuously thrash his head forward with great force .
It is difficult to image how simply trying to “ hang ” from that position and height could cause that level of damage .
The small fray of fabric tied to the window grate appears to be nearly twice that height , but there is very little room @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a nearly 6 feet tall man .
Were two nooses , along with multiple pieces of bed sheets tied to the bunk frame and window , laid out intentionally to create confusion of what was truly a “ murder scene ?
” Epstein sustained fractures of bilateral thyroid cartilage cornua and left hyoid cornua with accompanying soft tissue hemorrhages , in addition to several other abrasions and hemorrhages as indicated in the autopsy report .
Dr. Baden has seen his fair share of hangings and noted that “ going over a thousand jail @ @ @ @ @ @ @ City state prisons over the past 40-50 years , no one had three fractures.
” They also found an injury to the back of his neck and an injection mark on his left forearm but they don ’ t know where it came from .
The mark on his arm seems to be located exactly where they would stick you for an IV or to draw blood .
I can ’ t imagine they would have hooked up an IV to a dead man , but the autopsy shows they ran a toxicology @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mark on the back of his neck seems ideally positioned for where someone ’ s hands would be placed while applying pressure to a cord or other weapon wrapped around his neck .
It doesn ’ t line up with someone hanging themselves .
What I find intriguing about all of the evidence and photos provided , is that they would not tell Dr. Baden or 60 Minutes what position his body was found in , leaving out the most critical detail of all .
Why ?
Clearly this is still an ongoing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of these graphic photos then ?
Whereas the photo of the front of his neck was clearly taken on the floor of the prison cell , this photos was not .
Something I ’ m very curious about is his postmortem lividity , as indicated in the above photo .
If you have ever had the unfortunate experience of finding a dear friend dead , as I have , you have observed lividity .
After the heart stops , the settling of blood begins .
Livor mortis begins 20-30 minutes after death but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a couple hours after death , though some sites speculate it can be seen sooner .
With each hour , the areas pooling become broader and darker .
It forms around gravity , so if one is laying face up , it will settle toward their back .
However , if one were to hang themselves – completely off the ground – it would naturally settle in their feet , or if sitting upright it would be in their lower extremities .
In this photo it settled around his side , partial back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ won ’ t settle in areas pressed against the ground or object .
You can see the blood pool around the crease marks from the sheet , so it clearly shifted once they put him on the gurney .
Coroners often use this as a means to determine approximate time of death and if a body has been moved .
If the position of the body is shifted , it will cause the blood to settle down in the newer dependent areas , but due to postmortem coagulation , the shifting may not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of death .
The only photo of Epstein they provided from the cell was the closeup of the front of his neck .
They won ’ t provide photos or information on the position they found him in .
My point to going over all of this is that he could have been dead in that cells for hours since they hadn ’ t checked on him since 10pm the night before , in which case lividity would have built up .
Had they moved him before officers got there and took photos @ @ @ @ @ @ @ original position because it likely wouldn ’ t have shifted yet .
These are the photos they don ’ t want us to see .
The Mountain of Sheets & Mattress on the Floor Is it that odd ?
I don ’ t see any blankets , so perhaps it ’ s standard to have “ extra ” sheets in a room .
What is odd is the fact that they are strewn all about in a mess , presumably because they were being torn into pieces for making nooses .
As far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ preferred to keep his belongings on the top bunk .
Maybe the floor was cold and disgusting , so he preferred the mattress on the floor .
There is also a sleep apnea machine next to it which may have been easier to manage at floor level , with the tubes and all .
Those tubes and electric cords sure would make a good weapon for strangling someone .
Why is it still sitting on the floor in this photo and not bagged for evidence ?
There is another piece of equipment on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to have a gray tube coming off of it .
It could possibly be a second sleep apnea machine .
It ’ s hard to say .
• “ Epstein is still alive.
” – False .
He is more dangerous to them alive than he is dead .
He was not the top dog .
I don ’ t care how much money he had – the man had handlers , and they handled him .
• “ It ’ s not him .
The photos are fake – they are Photoshopped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or nose .
His eyes shouldn ’ t be closed.
” – False .
Have you ever seen dead bodies ?
Have you ever seen a strangled dead body ?
Fluids drain , lividity sets in , and depending on how they died , some areas may appear slightly different .
Lay down on your back .
Now take your finger parallel to the floor and put the point of it into the side of your head so it just barely touches the back of your earlobe .
Finger should be horizontal and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ carefully sit up without moving your hand .
Your earlobe no longer touches your finger .
Why ?
Because gravity causes your earlobes to fall in toward your head .
Now add a “ plethora of face and head with petechial hemorrhages of face ” after being strangled .
Comparing a dead photo of Epstein laying on his back to a photo of him standing up when he was alive is not comparing apples to apples .
With exception of possibly the one closeup of his neck , all other photos were shot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If his eyes had been open , they closed them for the photos .
This is after the scene where it happened .
There is no need to create an illusion of Epstein to portray him as dead , when they wanted him dead .
Why keep him alive , having to spend the rest of his days in hiding ?
He no longer serves a purpose for them .
He is expendable .
Does the media lie ?
Yes .
Have they fabricated information or swapped photos to use in other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ taking photos ?
Absolutely 100 % on both counts .
Have they created false flags to give the appearance people died ?
Yes .
Have they shown numerous postmortem photos with evidence tags on those people ?
Not that I have ever come across .
Are these photos of Epstein ’ s body Photoshopped ?
I have been working with photos in Photoshop for over 25 years , and I can not find a single pixel on his body that appears to have been manipulated in any of these photos .
“ But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s not him , you are suggesting this is a clone of Epstein and he managed to escape .
One of the only escapes from the MCC was thirty years ago in 1990 .
If he were to pull off an “ escape ” that would mean the following people were all involved : Dr. Baden , all of the nurses and staff at the hospital who saw him brought in and those in the room with him , the paramedics , any individuals at MCC who saw him being taken @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it , police officers , the FBI agents at the hospital , and the entire morgue was in on it .
Most importantly , you are suggesting that Attorney General Barr was in on it .
Don ’ t think for one minute that he didn ’ t verify Epstein ’ s body in person while he kicked off this investigation .
“ No , nobody knew it was a clone except for those who orchestrated the escape.
” OKAY , explain how that escape worked .
Have you worked out all the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ found him in his cell to the hospital ?
Prove it before selling it .
“ Barr took him away to witness protection , and they planted a clone of Epstein for the rest of the show , so the other people didn ’ t know it wasn ’ t really Epstein.
” Stop It !
Do you really believe they would carry out this charade , could keep him safe and get him to sing like a canary at some safe house as opposed to keeping him in prison , when they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This would mean that you also believe Barr had a clone made of Epstein , because those photos are legit .
Mossad didn ’ t smuggle him anywhere .
He is not singing like a canary .
And he ’ s not sipping cocktails on a remote island .
He ’ s dead .
Sometimes things are exactly as they seem , despite how you may want them to be .
That said , he may have already sung like a canary .
We don ’ t know what that last meeting was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We don ’ t know if some sort of plea deal was in the works or if affidavits were being signed .
We don ’ t know .
What we do know is , by Epstein being dead , his attorneys aren ’ t in the way of them accessing information and his estates ( as we ’ ve witnessed ) , and additional women have come forward with more information on other sick players that were involved with Epstein and his sex trafficking of minors .
Keep exposing all of these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on top of this trafficking ring and keep bringing awareness to it .
One thing that people tend to forget while they are focused on getting justice – by exposing all of the players , it warns others to stay away from them , to be more observant of their surroundings and the people trying to take advantage of them , which ultimately could be saving their lives .
Isn ’ t that a big part of what we are here to do ?
To save the children ?
Justice would be grand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on so many levels , but never forget how important exposing these crimes are in and of itself .
One thing is for certain , Jeffrey Epstein will never hurt another child or adult ever again .

n January 5, 60 Minutes released photos from Jeffrey Epstein’s cell the morning of his death. Epstein, 66, was found dead on August 10, 2019 in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
His death had been ruled a suicide by the New York City Medical Examiner’s office.

Dr. Baden was witness to the four-hour autopsy, and after seeing all of the evidence below, he believes this is more consistent with murder. The majority of the population weighing in on this would agree.
WARNING: Graphic Photos
A Quick Recap of The Last 24hrs of Jeffrey Epstein’s Life
• August 9, 8:00 a.m. – Epstein’s cellmate is transferred out of the prison in a routine, prearranged transfer and he is not assigned a new cellmate.
• August 9, 7:49 p.m. – Epstein returned to the SHU from a visit with his Attorneys, who reported him to be “upbeat.”
• August 9, 10 p.m. – All inmates are locked in their cells for the night.
• August 9, 10:30 p.m. – Allegedly, this is the last time a guard walked up to the entrance to the area where Epstein was held, until Epstein was found around 6:30 a.m. They were supposed to do rounds every 30-minutes, but had allegedly skipped them all and falsified records.
• August 10, 6:00 a.m. – The two guards, Noel and Thomas, received a delivery of the breakfast carts and at 6:30 a.m. entered the tier where Epstein was housed.
• August 10, 6:33 a.m. – The guards find Epstein alone in his cell and unresponsive with a noose around his neck, and activate the alarm in the SHU.
• August 10, 7:30 a.m. – The paramedics arrived with Epstein at the New York Presbyterian-Lower Manhattan hospital where they eventually pronounced him dead.
Many are still under the belief that Epstein was on suicide watch. He was not. He had been taken off suicide watch on July 29th. Side note: The last suicide at MCC was 14 years ago.
Autopsy Report
Autopsy Report pertaining to the alleged hanging:
• Ligature furrow of neck
• Petechial hemorrhages of bilateral palpebral conjunctivae and of oral mucosa
• Confluent hemorrhages of right bulbar conjunctiva
• Plethora of face and head with petechial hemorrhages of face
• Fractures of bilateral thyroid cartilage cornua and left hyoid cornua with accompanying soft tissue hemorrhages
Other details can be seen in the report above.
The List
One big misconception floating around on social media is that the note was a “suicide note.” Quite the opposite. In fact, this was a list of complaints. Why would he write down complaints to share if he had no intentions of sticking around?
The list says: “Kept me in a locked shower stall for 1 hour. Sent me burnt food. Giant bugs crawling over my hands. No fun!!”
The Mystery Noose & Cords
Two nooses were photographed in the cell, while other pieces of bed linen remained tied to various areas of the bunk. One was taken into evidence, seen in the photo above, presumably because it was thought to be the noose used to kill himself. There are several things off about this.
• The guard who found Epstein allegedly cut him down. If that were the case, this noose shown above would have cut marks in the fabric and it does not. “It doesn’t look like anybody ever took scissors to it,” said 60 Minutes’ Sharyn Alfonsi. “So there is some question—is that the right noose?”
• There doesn’t appear to be any blood on it, yet the photo of Epstein’s neck clearly indicates a band of blood across it.
• Dr. Baden said the noose doesn’t appear to match the wound on Epstein’s throat. He also stated, “there were other wires and cords present that it would’ve been easy to use to hang oneself within a few minutes.” He is referring to the cords from Epstein’s sleep apnea machine.
• What they are referring to as the “second noose,” shown in a photo below, appears to have a tiny loop in it with a knot and a knot at the other end, hardly making it a “noose.”
• The noose that was put into evidence is perfectly intact. Aside from having no apparent blood on it, how did they possibly slide this loop over his head, when the head is considerably larger than the neck? So much pressure was applied that he had fractured his thyroid cartilage and hyoid, leaving a band of blood across his neck. It would seem it would have had to be extremely tight to cause that level of damage. Can a bed linen sheet stretch that much to pull it over his head, and if so, how the heck did he hang himself with it if it were that stretchy?
• The location of the blood mark across his neck seems to be low for a “hanging,” and more in line with strangulation. The mark also would be more consistent with a cord or wire. I cannot imagine a bed sheet causing his neck to bleed.
• One of the pieces of bed sheet tied to the ladder on the bunk bed is measured at 35” off the ground. That would put Epstein on his knees. He was nearly 6 feet tall. The only conceivable way to cause that much damage to his neck and throat area, would be for him to continuously thrash his head forward with great force. It is difficult to image how simply trying to “hang” from that position and height could cause that level of damage. The small fray of fabric tied to the window grate appears to be nearly twice that height, but there is very little room between the bed and wall to squeeze a nearly 6 feet tall man.
Were two nooses, along with multiple pieces of bed sheets tied to the bunk frame and window, laid out intentionally to create confusion of what was truly a “murder scene?”
The Ligature Marks, Fractures & Other Markings
Epstein sustained fractures of bilateral thyroid cartilage cornua and left hyoid cornua with accompanying soft tissue hemorrhages, in addition to several other abrasions and hemorrhages as indicated in the autopsy report. Dr. Baden has seen his fair share of hangings and noted that “going over a thousand jail hangings, suicides in the New York City state prisons over the past 40-50 years, no one had three fractures.”
They also found an injury to the back of his neck and an injection mark on his left forearm but they don’t know where it came from. The mark on his arm seems to be located exactly where they would stick you for an IV or to draw blood. I can’t imagine they would have hooked up an IV to a dead man, but the autopsy shows they ran a toxicology report. This makes sense.
The mark on the back of his neck seems ideally positioned for where someone’s hands would be placed while applying pressure to a cord or other weapon wrapped around his neck. It doesn’t line up with someone hanging themselves.
Position Found in Wasn’t Disclosed
What I find intriguing about all of the evidence and photos provided, is that they would not tell Dr. Baden or 60 Minutes what position his body was found in, leaving out the most critical detail of all. Why? Clearly this is still an ongoing investigation, but why even release all of these graphic photos then? Whereas the photo of the front of his neck was clearly taken on the floor of the prison cell, this photos was not.
Something I’m very curious about is his postmortem lividity, as indicated in the above photo. If you have ever had the unfortunate experience of finding a dear friend dead, as I have, you have observed lividity. After the heart stops, the settling of blood begins. Livor mortis begins 20-30 minutes after death but generally can’t be observed until a couple hours after death, though some sites speculate it can be seen sooner. With each hour, the areas pooling become broader and darker. It forms around gravity, so if one is laying face up, it will settle toward their back. However, if one were to hang themselves – completely off the ground – it would naturally settle in their feet, or if sitting upright it would be in their lower extremities. In this photo it settled around his side, partial back, and upper neck area. It won’t settle in areas pressed against the ground or object. You can see the blood pool around the crease marks from the sheet, so it clearly shifted once they put him on the gurney.
Coroners often use this as a means to determine approximate time of death and if a body has been moved. If the position of the body is shifted, it will cause the blood to settle down in the newer dependent areas, but due to postmortem coagulation, the shifting may not be possible after 6 to 8 hours of death. The only photo of Epstein they provided from the cell was the closeup of the front of his neck. They won’t provide photos or information on the position they found him in.
My point to going over all of this is that he could have been dead in that cells for hours since they hadn’t checked on him since 10pm the night before, in which case lividity would have built up. Had they moved him before officers got there and took photos, the lividity would have shown his original position because it likely wouldn’t have shifted yet. These are the photos they don’t want us to see.
The Mountain of Sheets & Mattress on the Floor
Is it that odd? I don’t see any blankets, so perhaps it’s standard to have “extra” sheets in a room. What is odd is the fact that they are strewn all about in a mess, presumably because they were being torn into pieces for making nooses. As far as the mattress, it appears he preferred to keep his belongings on the top bunk. Maybe the floor was cold and disgusting, so he preferred the mattress on the floor. There is also a sleep apnea machine next to it which may have been easier to manage at floor level, with the tubes and all. Those tubes and electric cords sure would make a good weapon for strangling someone. Why is it still sitting on the floor in this photo and not bagged for evidence? There is another piece of equipment on the floor by the bunk that appears to have a gray tube coming off of it. It could possibly be a second sleep apnea machine. It’s hard to say.
Theories
• “Epstein is still alive.” – False. He is more dangerous to them alive than he is dead. He was not the top dog. I don’t care how much money he had – the man had handlers, and they handled him.
• “It’s not him. The photos are fake – they are Photoshopped. That’s not his ears or nose. His eyes shouldn’t be closed.” – False. Have you ever seen dead bodies? Have you ever seen a strangled dead body? Fluids drain, lividity sets in, and depending on how they died, some areas may appear slightly different. Lay down on your back. Now take your finger parallel to the floor and put the point of it into the side of your head so it just barely touches the back of your earlobe. Finger should be horizontal and parallel with the floor. Now very carefully sit up without moving your hand. Your earlobe no longer touches your finger. Why? Because gravity causes your earlobes to fall in toward your head. Now add a “plethora of face and head with petechial hemorrhages of face” after being strangled. Comparing a dead photo of Epstein laying on his back to a photo of him standing up when he was alive is not comparing apples to apples. With exception of possibly the one closeup of his neck, all other photos were shot at the hospital prior to the autopsy. If his eyes had been open, they closed them for the photos. This is after the scene where it happened.
There is no need to create an illusion of Epstein to portray him as dead, when they wanted him dead. Why keep him alive, having to spend the rest of his days in hiding? He no longer serves a purpose for them. He is expendable.
Does the media lie? Yes. Have they fabricated information or swapped photos to use in other stories? Have they staged scenes before taking photos? Absolutely 100% on both counts. Have they created false flags to give the appearance people died? Yes. Have they shown numerous postmortem photos with evidence tags on those people? Not that I have ever come across. Are these photos of Epstein’s body Photoshopped? I have been working with photos in Photoshop for over 25 years, and I cannot find a single pixel on his body that appears to have been manipulated in any of these photos.
“But this isn’t him.” If it’s not him, you are suggesting this is a clone of Epstein and he managed to escape. One of the only escapes from the MCC was thirty years ago in 1990. If he were to pull off an “escape” that would mean the following people were all involved: Dr. Baden, all of the nurses and staff at the hospital who saw him brought in and those in the room with him, the paramedics, any individuals at MCC who saw him being taken away in an ambulance were in on it, police officers, the FBI agents at the hospital, and the entire morgue was in on it. Most importantly, you are suggesting that Attorney General Barr was in on it. Don’t think for one minute that he didn’t verify Epstein’s body in person while he kicked off this investigation. “No, nobody knew it was a clone except for those who orchestrated the escape.” OKAY, explain how that escape worked. Have you worked out all the details on that from the time they found him in his cell to the hospital? Prove it before selling it.
“Barr took him away to witness protection, and they planted a clone of Epstein for the rest of the show, so the other people didn’t know it wasn’t really Epstein.” Stop It! Do you really believe they would carry out this charade, could keep him safe and get him to sing like a canary at some safe house as opposed to keeping him in prison, when they likely already have mountains of evidence? This would mean that you also believe Barr had a clone made of Epstein, because those photos are legit. Mossad didn’t smuggle him anywhere. He is not singing like a canary. And he’s not sipping cocktails on a remote island. He’s dead. Sometimes things are exactly as they seem, despite how you may want them to be.
That said, he may have already sung like a canary. We don’t know what that last meeting was about with his attorneys the night before. We don’t know if some sort of plea deal was in the works or if affidavits were being signed. We don’t know. What we do know is, by Epstein being dead, his attorneys aren’t in the way of them accessing information and his estates (as we’ve witnessed), and additional women have come forward with more information on other sick players that were involved with Epstein and his sex trafficking of minors.
Now What?
Keep exposing all of these child predators. Demand justice. Stay on top of this trafficking ring and keep bringing awareness to it. One thing that people tend to forget while they are focused on getting justice – by exposing all of the players, it warns others to stay away from them, to be more observant of their surroundings and the people trying to take advantage of them, which ultimately could be saving their lives. Isn’t that a big part of what we are here to do? To save the children? Justice would be grand, and I pray we see it on so many levels, but never forget how important exposing these crimes are in and of itself.
One thing is for certain, Jeffrey Epstein will never hurt another child or adult ever again.
