Recently, a leading coroner declared that the autopsy of child abuser Jeffrey Epstein (who died in prison) was more consistent with strangulation than suicide. That proved material for jokes by Trevor Noah, the host of the Daily Show, with his guests Hillary and Chelsea Clinton. asked Hillary Clinton in an interview about conspiracies that suggest the Clintons have murdered people. Noah asked Clinton “I have to ask you a question that has been plaguing me for a while, how did you kill Jeffrey Epstein?” That led to a great laugh. However, it was a tad off-putting because they were discussing a child rapist and abuser who entertained Clinton’s husband repeatedly and reportedly flew him on Epstein’s infamous “Lolita Express” private jet. Ha, Ha . . . Thump. Or more accurately “Ha, Ha, . . . Trump.” The point was that the Clintons are the subject of wild conspiracy theories by Trump and his supporters — a fair point. However, when it comes to a sexual predator who was friends with your husband, Bill Clinton, there might be another source for late night humor.
It is certainly fair game to mock the conspiracy theories that swirl around the Clintons. Noah remarked “Well, it’s a constant surprise to me. Because the things they say, and now, of course, it’s on steroids with being online, are so ridiculous, beyond any imagination that I could have. And yet they are so persistent in putting forth these crazy ideas and theories. Honestly, I don’t know what I ever did to get them so upset.”
Yet, Bill Clinton has been repeatedly accused of sexual assault by women and admitted to sex with a White House intern (after denying it under oath). Worse yet, Hillary Clinton is still criticized for her attack on these women as “Bimbo eruptions” and dismissing their allegations as part of a “vast right-wing conspiracy.” That was one conspiracy theory that was not treated with mirth.
in other news, HOW’S GUN CONTROL WORKING IN MEXICO?
If I follow this correctly, the originator of the “Vast right wing conspiracy” theory is making fun of people who have questions about Epstein’s death?
So where is # MeToo ?
The Clintons seem to escape them
How does that work?
#metoo happens on Twitter. #twittersafety controls what people see on Twitter.absolutely. Twitter’s owner talks about “conversational health algorithms” which conceal content he doesn’t want to see, but several years of watching what happens on Twitter and a career largely spent in computer programming makes me believe that content disappears when humans who work for Twitter make it disapppear. Algorithms which magically discriminate on the basis of political preference are fictional at this time.
A major complaint about #metoo is that it’s not curated. That is probably not the case. #metoo complaints about, say, the late Peter Fonda (who was allowed to break Tiwtter Rules about violent, obscenely sexist rhetoric and open advocacy of pedophilia in his Tweets) probably disappeared in the same way thse famous “conversational health” algotithms didn’t automatically hide his latrine-mouth Tweets..
BS
#MeToo has protests…its not just online.Even after Epstein? Clintons skate?
I appreciate your thoroughness LPG.
Intelligent people never use the term “conspiracy theorist.” That is a term that was invented by the Deep State and was designed for dupes, dopes, and dummies, and for members of the Deep State to attempt to denigrate those who don’t believe the lies promoted by the Deep State.
Specifically, the term “conspiracy theorists” was invented by the CIA in the early 1960s in response to the fact that most of the public did not accept the “official” FBI/CIA lie that Lee Oswald shot President John F. Kennedy. The term first appears in CIA Document #1035-960, “Concerning Criticism of the Warren Report.”
As the CIA put it in that document:
“Conspiracy theories have frequently thrown suspicion on our organization, for example by [] alleging that Lee Harvey Oswald worked for us. The aim of this dispatch is to provide material countering and discrediting the claims of the conspiracy theorists, so as to inhibit the circulation of such claims in other countries.”
Notably the CIA’s recommendations for denigrating those who exposed the Deep State lies back then were the same as those used today.
The CIA recommended in Document #1035-960 that their representatives “discuss the publicity problem with [] friendly elite contacts (especially politicians and editors) . . . [and that they] employ PROPAGANDA ASSETS to negate and refute the attacks of the critics.” [Emphasis added.]
The facts and forensic evidence currently available do amply support the possibility that Jeffrey Epstein was murdered. Homicide is a far more plausible theory than the “official” determination that Epstein committed suicide. Importantly, no real investigation was ever ordered or conducted. Far less controversial cases have been investigated with much greater resources and zeal than the Epstein case, as even any casual watcher of the “Forensic Files” show knows. But in the Epstein case, with all its anomalies and red flags, hardly any investigation has been conducted at all. That alone tells any thinking person that the “official” story is likely a lie.
Likewise, the facts and forensic evidence available do amply support the possibility that Oswald did not act alone. If the granddaddy of all conspiracies remains unresolved to this day, there is little hope of ever overcoming any “official” lie while history is left to those who write the history books…https://study.com/academy/course/prentice-hall-america-history-of-our-nation-online-textbook-help.html
THE CLINTON BODY COUNT – WHAT REALLY HAPPENED
http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/BODIES.php
Trevor Noah’s from South Africa, where “corrective rape” is how women are kept in line. I’m sure he felt right at home interviewing one of the most pathetic co-dependent enablers of a sexual predator in public life.
Hillary Clinton slipped on her 2017 excuse-making tour, projecting her own failings on American women. If anyone’s the poster girl for letting one’s husband get away with humiliating her publicly, it’s Hillary Rodham Clinton.
loupgarous – I think that Hillary has always been okay with Bill’s affairs because she was having hers. She was in charge of the Bimbo Eruption problems during the campaign. She and Bill have a business partnership, or at least had.
@Paul – Possibly so. The “bimbo eruption” meme really disillusioned me about any pretensions she had toward feminism, or the National Organization for Women’s pretense of looking out for women’s interests. Bill Clinton assured them he was in their corner on abortion rights, and that’s the only issue NOW cared about.
Now, NOW is stoically silent as Title IX protections for women in high school and collegiate sports are eviscerated – as conditioned male athletes who couldn’t excel in their own branch of sports discover their feminine side, take testosterone antagonists for two years, then shut biological women out of competition who believed the Left cared about their right to compete fairly in women’s sports.
But the Clintons and their dwindling pool of supporters have run through the rain too often now without getting wet. It won’t take an actual indictment of the person who had Jeffrey Epstein killed – people will reach their own conclusions.
Trevor Noah works for a company owned by Sumner and Shari Redstone through their National Amusements firm. So does Stephen Colbert. Opensecrets.org keeps track of the Redstones’ support for Democratic politicians. https://www.opensecrets.org/donor-lookup/results?name=Sumner+Redstone

It’s not a conspiracy theory if there are documents of what’s happening.
loupgaris…..thank you for the insight into South Africa’s treatment of women.
You’re welcome. It’s one of those inconvenient truths the press don’t want to talk about.
loupgaris…..exactly. There’s alot of that going around!
Left or right, it seems most of us agree that it looks like Epstein was murdered. It also looks like the government has no interest in investigating the possible murder of our modern Oswald. The major media isn’t demanding answers although there are a few notable exceptions. And where are our representatives?
We are all conspiracy theorists now.
@Ivan: VERY good question. Schiff’s got his top-secret fishing expedition underway to identify a plausible excuse for Articles of Impeachment against Donald Trump. If he were a pure-souled seeker after truth, Schiff would inquire into the circumstances of Jeffrey Epstein’s death. Attorney General Barr’s looking into the matter, supposedly, so we’ll see. The one thing you don’t do in a murder investigation is give a play-by-play account of the investigation before a suspect is identified and evidence points to his guilt.
