But where would a person speak to disclose the secret? Internet is very effectively censored by the US monopolies now.

If something is not indexed by Google, it's effectively non-existent. FAANG censorship is fast and effective. E.g. there were many important US bureaucrats involved in the Theranos scandal (even current US president). When I try to find anything related to that matter now, Google returns pages with many links removed by censors. It's almost impossible to find people responsible for withdrawing money from US budget via Theranos.

Also, assuming that 3 letter agencies were involved in the operation, any whistleblower would understand that destiny of Epstein will await her/him in near future.

Also, there's no "independent" journalism, all media belong to few influential entities, there's only approved articles appear in newspapers, magazines, on TV and YouTube.




Literally anywhere, the internet isn't consored anywhere near as much as you think.

If someone posted a plausible/verifiable account of what happened in a HN thread, then it would've made it halfway round the world before the NSA could take it down

So why didn't they bother censoring this comment?


SNR is the censorship mechanism for the English web, not GFW-style.


Sounds nebulous and hard to falsify.
