People in this situation might consider putting themselves under video surveillance.

Like Epstein was

And mentioning on social media so it's public/informing journalists so they can make it public beforehand that you don't plan on killing yourself.

The trouble with that is someone might say you DID plan to kill yourself, and tried to frame Boeing for your own death by telling people you weren't suicidal. Thus it's preferable to leave video evidence, that could also help catch the culprits.

It still leaves the possibility that you yourself hired a hit squad to kill you. Alex Murdaugh and Jussie Smollett both did things like that. Only for a beating in Smollett's case, but Murdaugh actually wanted to be fatally shot, leaving an insurance policy behind.

I know right. Exactly my thoughts. If you are a whistleblower, install secret camers in your house and always keep a recorder (audio/video) in your pocket or chest.

Although in a few years this is obsolete. AI ftw.

He was staying in a hotel btw for the trial. He had given 2 days of testimony and didn’t show for the 3rd.

Still possible, but harder when you’re not at home.

Gonna come out that the hotel parking lot camera was down for maintenance that night

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

And the guy at the front desk ran an errand for five hours.

I would be going to pretty great lengths to ensure I didn't get Epsteined or, if I did, the mfers behind it got theirs. I'd be sending hand written letters to every goddamn person knew that I wasn't suicidal.

And I would be really careful about my opsec. Oh, you thought I was at that motel? Fuck you pricks, I ditched the rental, took a bus and switched five times, changed clothes twice and snuck to a culvert to sleep, you fucking corpo assassins. Good luck with that. .!..

Or always stay in sight of two other people and eat and drink only from sealed packages purchased from random grocery stores.
