Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself
The Clinton’s are a well-known
high-class family. Their involvement in politics and people high in society has
allowed for the public to turn a blind eye to any wrong doings. Multiple people
involved with this family have turned up dead such as, insert names of people I
want to involve later. Bill has not been accused directly by officials, but
some people feel indifferent when it comes to his involvement to certain
people's deaths. Since Clinton was on trial for inappropriate conduct with a
co-worker, multiple conspiracies have surfaced involving him and his family’s
power to simply make problems disappear. Let us investigate the conspiracy of
the Clinton family killing people off to keep their place in power high and
mighty.
While running for president he ran
into many issues of people uncovering secrets that had been withheld for many
years. Gennifer Flowers was a woman from Arkansas who was allegedly having a
long-term affair with Clinton. “60 Minutes” even did an episode over the event
as many Americans were angry over Clinton’s actions. In the interview seen on
live television the Clinton’s did admit to “marital problems” (Bill Clinton
Presidency) with Hillary; the interview then turned many people’s thoughts
around to then offer their support to Clinton and his candidacy (Bill Clinton
Presidency). Some people would agree that his public explanations on his
marriage was a way of manipulating people into gaining back his support. If he
told the public he was sorry and looked as if he meant it, it had to be true.
The whole point of his public apology was to gain back America’s trust and get
his power back to ensure he secured his place in office.
As soon as his career as president took off,
he angered the entire country and military. His first act of attempted reform
was very inconsiderate and disrespectful to the people who serve our country.
His compromise policy of “Don’t ask, don’t tell” was disgraceful and
disturbing. With the DODT policy enacted, you have American men and
women avoiding “making any reference to [their] sexual orientation” in fear of
their automatic discharge due to this discriminatory policy (Wolff). His
greediness for power and the public liking pushed him to propose an act that
affected multiple Americans and their civil right to openly express themselves
in society. The idea of the act was to be more inclusive to people of the LGBTQ
community but, his lack of understanding how cruel the act was angered a whole group
of people across the country. His greed clouded his judgement on how to
approach this delicate topic and lost out on thousands of people supporting
him.
As we continue to learn about
Clinton’s issues as a person in general, we will discuss how inconsiderate he
is to the people he claims to hold very close to him. Hillary and Bill had been
together since college, she remained by his side through all the political
changes constantly happening in their lives. They only had one child, their
marriage appeared very strong and sturdy despite constant stress from their
careers.
Leading more into Bill’s presidency
he had multiple people in his cabinet who were always at his disposal. Monica
Lewinsky became a household name across the country over night for the alleged
affair with the president. Lewinsky was an intern at the White House in the
beginning of Clinton’s presidency and the two did begin a sexual relationship
secretly. As a 24-year-old woman trying to start your career in a male
dominated force it would be easy to get swayed into uncomfortable positions.
Bill was the most powerful man in the country at that point in time. Monica
could have had reasonable fear her career was in jeopardy had she not given
into the inappropriate work relationship. The truth did not come out until
“Linda Tripp, who secretly recorded telephone conversations about Lewinsky’s
affair with Clinton.” turned over the tapes for another investigation going on
involving Clinton’s business dealings (The Lewinsky Scandal). Once the tape was
turned over it was taken to the supreme court over Bill committing perjury. All
through-out the scandal, Hillary stood by Bill and faced the public humiliation
head on.
The inconsiderate attitude and
actions of President Clinton were not limited to affairs. He only cared about
himself and own personal gain. His main concern of the country finding out
about the adultery was that they would not forgive him. “Political consultant
Dick Morris [said] that the American people...will forgive the adultery, but they
won't easily forgive that you lied” (Monica Lewinsky). This comment truly stuck
with Clinton as Americans were very angry, still the only thing on his mind was
apologizing to gain back support.
With
the recent passing of Epstein, our focus has turned to the Clinton family due
to the dirty secrets coming to public light. As we dive into both conspiracies
regarding the nature of Epstein’s death, with the pedophilia and sex
trafficking it is easy to understand why he could have been murdered.
Jeffery
Epstein was a successful businessman who began his career as a teacher with
young students. After two years of teaching, he turned his career around and
became involved with banking and finances. Slowly he built his social circle
and was involved with a-list celebrities and government officials, such as Bill
Clinton. Looking at sources cited in this paper, you can find that Clinton
denies any type of relationship being had in the past decade. But “in 2002, the
former president took a trip on Mr. Epstein’s private jet, which brought a
flurry of media attention” (Gold). Epstein’s private plane was one of the many
places he was alleged to host underage girls for sexual acts. Multiple news
outlets have reached out to Clinton for a response or comment regarding Epstein’s
untimely death. Although Clinton’s staff will claim he only took four flights
on Epstein’s plane, “flight records published by Gawker in 2015 suggested that
Mr. Clinton took at least a dozen separate flights on Mr. Epstein’s plane. A
year later, Fox News reported that flight records showed President Clinton had
flown at least 26 times on Mr. Epstein’s plane” (Gold). With such topics as
child sex trafficking being brought up with Epstein’s name, no one with
political power wants to be associated with him. Clinton recently said in an
interview that, “[he] knows nothing of the terrible crimes” (Mangan) Epstein
was accused of and they hadn’t spoken in “more than a decade” (Mangan). Clinton
may claim that they had not spoken in many years, but there is a signed
portrait of him in one of Epstein’s many houses. Interestingly Clinton has not
been linked to anything negative regarding Epstein’s accused crimes.
Epstein
was found dead in his prison cell in August. His death was ruled as a suicide
and continued to be investigated thoroughly due to the nature of his
involvement with political people of power. A document “released through
Muckrock indicates the Epstein had no mental health concerns or suicidal
tendencies at the time of his arrest in July” (Leon) showing that he had no
rhyme or reason to end his life if he was an innocent man. His cell was
allegedly under constant watch by heavily armed guards, but it is very
interesting how he managed to tie a noose and end his life while being
monitored. Many people across the country and worldwide have been keeping up
with this story as it is very strange. While on trial you are under oath to not
lie, this is one of many reasons Epstein was silenced by death. Many theorize
that the Clinton’s had him killed in order to protect the empire that they have
built for decades. Many of the controversies that Clinton has been involved in
have been swept under the rug such as Water Gate, his affair with Monica
Lewinsky, and even him flying multiple times on Epstein’s death. If Epstein is
dead, he can’t reveal the dirty secrets kept behind closed doors from the
public.
Another
conspiracy revolving around Epstein’s death would be that he genuinely did just
kill himself out of shame and fear for the repercussions he was going to face
due to his crimes. Although there are sources that point to him being mentally
sane and content with continuing his life, you can never truly get the truth
out of someone who doesn’t want to be honest. Dr. Michael Baden has been in the
medical field for multiple decades and has come to the public with information
claiming Epstein’s death was likely a homicidal strangulation rather than a
suicide. “Those three fractures are extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and
could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation” (Leon). Regarding
the autopsy that has pointed more towards Epstein’s murder, it can also point
to him attempting to end his life as quickly as possible in fear that he would
spend the rest of his life in prison with no hopes of getting out on parole.
Many
who do believe he committed suicide of his own free will have claimed that he
was embarrassed of his actions after already being convicted in the early
2000’s for a child sex crime. He was a very wealthy and successful businessman
who ruined his life. The activities that this rich man involved himself in
ruined his career and life, he was never going to lead a normal life after the
public was made aware of such things. If his intentions were to end his life to
no longer face the consequences of his actions, he succeeded.
Jeffrey
Epstein’s death shook the world to its core. With all the dirty secrets
unveiled in the recent months involving household names such as Trump and
Clinton. With the involvement of the FBI investigating his death thoroughly you
would think we have an answer to this man's sudden death. No one knows if he
killed himself or if he was murdered in the three-hour time span the guards did
not check up on him. Although there are many suspicions leading to the
Clinton’s involvement in Epstein’s death, there is no substantial proof he is
the one to pull the trigger on Epstein’s life. If Clinton’s involvement does
come to light, he will use the same power to manipulate the public, law
officials, and even foreign leaders as he did with the Lewinsky scandal. What
truly happened to Epstein will remain a mystery to the public and a secret to
those who were involved in this man’s death.
