Probably the opposite. There will be so much oversight now, and 'all eyes will be on'. I don't think the system is likely to cower like that in the face of such a big, literally international issue.


Considering the limp-dicked response to Epstein's 'suicide' , what makes you have so much faith in 'the system' when possible powerful elements in this system are implicated?


That begs the question of why was asset Epstein left out to dry. Wexner, for example, is still protected by media shading lack of investigation of that prime 'sponsor' of Epstein's very well promoted career as a financial genius.

Since this was like a mob hit, I think the global protection racket you refer to as 'the system' is possibly manifesting conflict in 'the commission'. You see this at every level these days. There is a re-alignment going on, it seems, and not everyone is on board. (Just speculation.)

Perhaps he threatened someone that he'd talk. Perhaps some scapegoat was needed to take some pressure off. Perhaps it just wasn't worth protecting him because of mounting evidence. Or perhaps someone just hated his guts.

If it's possible to have someone 'whacked' in jail with little repercussion (which seems to me a somewhat plausible assumption), I can think of all sorts of reasons why things happened the way they did.
