By His Own Hand?

Jeffrey Epstein

Jonathan L. Arden, president of the National Association of Medical Examiners, has questioned the broken hyoid bone and circumstances around Epstein’s death.

Mr Arden told The Washington Post: “If, hypothetically, the hyoid bone is broken, that would generally raise questions about strangulation, but it is not definitive and does not exclude suicidal hanging.”

He added the broken bone could lead to pathologists conducted a more extensive investigation.

Meanwhile…

Numerous studies were also cited by the paper that found hyoid bone breaks were detected in a minority of suicidal hangings. One such study conducted from 2010 to 2013 that looked at suicidal hangings in India found that hyoid damage was present in just 16 of 264 cases, or 6 percent…

    There is no conspiracy. Epstein was an asset of the Mossad. His “Paedophile Island” and “Lolita Express” private jet were used to lure powerful and influential people into committing indiscretions which were recorded and subsequently used as leverage to influence strategic governmental decisions. His usefulness being spent, a lot of these powerful people, not to mention state actors, stood to benefit from his death. It’s a jungle out there. The most obvious answer is usually the right one. The “conspiracy theory” narrative being immediately activated following his death is straight from the usual playbook. If you were surprised to hear Jeffrey Epstein killed himself last weekend, imagine how surprised he was.

      while he may have been connected to Mossad, surely he was also working for powerful figures within the US intelligence services? The island was under US jurisdiction – they must have been involved with the operaion, if not running it themselves

        Absolutely. US/Israel relations are seamless, under Trump. Two members of Congress barred from Israel today. Unheard of previously. Trump is sh#tting himself. They have a load of stuff on him. As does Putin, and the Moscow hotel room. As I said it’s a jungle out there.
