Newly released Department of Justice documents show that investigators reviewing surveillance footage from the night of Jeffrey Epstein’s death observed an orange-colored shape moving up a staircase toward the isolated, locked tier where his cell was located at approximately 10:39 p.m. on Aug. 9, 2019.
That entry in an observation log of the video from the Metropolitan Correctional Center appears to suggest something previously unreported by authorities: “A flash of orange looks to be going up the L Tier stairs — could possibly be an inmate escorted up to that Tier.”
It also appears, according to an FBI memorandum, that reviews by investigators led to disparate conclusions by the FBI and those examining the same video from the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General.
The NSA was indeed spying on Americans, that was a conspiracy. Plastic recycling is largely a scam, that was a conspiracy. Its generally accepted now that Covid-19 came from a chinese lab, that was a conspiracy. It is still very controversial with conflicting evidence on both sides.
As far as I’m aware the earth isn’t flat but some conspiracies do reflect the truth. The covid release may not have been intentional like some theories propose but its not impossible it came from a lab.
Edit: here is a link to Ken Lacorte’s research into the covid-19 lab theory and he tends to be well researched and trustworthy.
The former…Fox News executive? Who killed the Trump-Stormy story before the 2016 election… uhhh… yeah im not fucking trusting that dude.

That document is laughable. In only the first few paragraphs, I ran across reliable indicators of pseudoscience scams, like asserting that there’s some “scientific establishment” that he’s up against. Not a very powerful mafia then, because there are tons of dipshits pushing the lab leak hypothesis. Then, there’s the Absence of Evidence Fallacy. (It is not evidence of absence.) That’s as far as I got.
Go ahead and call me closed-minded, but c’mon, Ken should put his best evidence up front. If he has it, which I doubt. Especially when the alternative explanation is so damn plausible: The Wuhan Institute for Virology was put in Wuhan to study the viruses in local wildlife because Chinese authorities recognized the potential for human transmission, and so they built a lab to study the viruses. And that’s why the lab would’ve had the virus in it. Maybe it did have a leak, and some infections came from there, but biological systems are messy and imprecise; the virus probably jumped to humans many, many times over many years, and set up the conditions for a pandemic.
Consider the HIV/AIDS epidemic in North America. We used to think that it all traced back to Patient 0, a flight attendant who liked to get busy around the world. Then, researchers found the virus in stored blood samples going back to the 1950’s. The virus had been in the human population for decades before blowing up.
Reality is often complex, without intuitively-clear lines of cause and effect. The abstract thinking needed to understand it is beyond many people, so they latch on to simple, obvious, and wrong explanations, like the lab leak theory.
propublica looked at the lab leak evidence and it is pretty likely that was it. The senate collected a lot of the information, which has better investigative powers than a news organization, but they got their hands on a lot of email from the wuhan and virology people and the national health and the like and the messaging all but said it got away from them there.
Also consider that COVID-19 is just “SARS 2”, and we know that coronaviruses exist in nature already and this ain’t the first time one has mutated this way…Occam’s razor is that a lab wasn’t needed for this to happen.
We bungled the detection/response and it spread. Largely due to misinformation and inaction of authorities.
Simple as.
Alleged accusations. Its the reporters word against his. Maybe it was for trump, maybe the evidence wasn’t strong enough and Lacorte wanted to avoid a Trump lawsuit. You could argue that is a conspiracy in itself.
And discrediting the Ken Lacorte portion on my comment, the other 2 conspiracies are still valid. My point is we cannot dismiss information just because it is labeled as a conspiracy. For example, if trump rigs the midterms and wins, he will very likely call accusations of his rigging a “leftist conspiracy.” The truth is often somewhere between the conspiracy and the narrative.
The problem is that “conspiracy” has been diluted culturally to mean silly far-fetched ideas. Propaganda can have that effect.
Yes the NSA illegally spies on whoever they want, yes plastic recycling is a PR stunt by the plastics industry.
However no, the lab leak theory of covid 19 remains unsubstantiated nonsense pedalled mostly by china-hawks in the US who think we have a slightly better chance of winning if we start ww3 now.
Propublica did a thing on it and it convinced me.
