Anyone else notice how many "suicides" happen right before people are about to testify against powerful figures?

Not really my usual area but I've seen this pattern mentioned a few times and honestly it does make you think. The Epstein thing is obviously the big one everyone points to, and yeah the circumstances were suspicious as hell. But I try to stay a bit skeptical about it because confirmation bias is real - we notice the dodgy ones and forget the ones that were just, you know, actually what they looked like.

That said the sheer number of "convenient" deaths around certain high profile cases is statistically worth questioning at minimum. I'm not saying theres a shadowy organisation taking people out left and right but I do think powerful people have powerful friends who can make problems go away.

Would be interesting if someone had actually compiled a proper list with sources rather than just the usual viral posts. Anyone got anything solid to share rather than just the reddit screenshot stuff?

Look, Epstein's death was genuinely suspicious and worth questioning. But the broader "pattern" people see here is mostly survivorship bias - we only notice and remember the suspicious deaths, not the dozens of other witnesses who testified just fine.

That said, powerful people protecting themselves is as old as civilization, so I wouldn't dismiss it entirely. The problem is once you go down this road every single death becomes evidence of conspiracy, which is how you end up claiming some bloke who tripped down stairs was silenced by the deep state.

Stick to cases with actual anomalies - Epstein has real ones. The broken neck bones inconsistent with hanging, the guard failures, the camera "malfunctions". That stuff deserves scrutiny. The general "powerful people kill witnesses" narrative without specific evidence though is just noise.
