Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Okay so like circumstantial, proximal attribution.
I get it, I just don't think it helps to assert suspicions as fact until those facts are less malleable.
I have not read that first book, have you read that book?
I did specifically note the word "theory" when I posited my assertion.
Additionally the book is called "Epstein: Dead men tell no tales" and I can't make a 100% confirmation that the books integrity has been maintained as I read a translated version (overview here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/48720807-epstein), the overview presented by the book is, in my opinion, extremely watered down and appears to have been censored, either in context or content, to provide a minimally invasive view of what happens behind closed doors.
The book could be used as a foray into questioning authority, but not as a reason to riot or scream, more as a thought provoking and reflecting work to allow others to look more seriously at those they've allowed into power.
It's not as though it's terribly 'eye opening' as I've worked with various governments and government related organizations so not a lot phazes me any more, but it isn't something I would recommend against reading.
Yea, fair.
If any circumstantial conspiracy deserves to be looked at, it's the one where the multi-millionaire friendly with presidents is arrested for his private island pedophile ring, put on suicide watch, and still commits an unrecorded, unwitnessed suicide before he has the opportunity to make any statements.
