The pattern is genuinely hard to ignore once you start cataloguing these cases. Epstein's the obvious one everyone brings up but go deeper into the list and it gets uncomfortable fast. People who were healthy, had families, had every reason to stay alive, just... gone. Right before the date.
What gets me is the timing specifically. Not months before. Not years after. Right before. That level of coincidence stacks up in a way that stops being coincidence at some point.
I don't think every single case is sinister, some probably are what they're ruled as. But the statistical clustering around testimony dates is something I genuinely think deserves proper academic scrutiny, not just forum discussion. Nobody with credentials wants to touch it though, which is its own kind of telling.
Anyone been tracking a specific case recently? I've been down a rabbit hole on a few older ones that never got much attention outside the initial news cycle.
