    I can understand why there is an obsession but I honestly think the whole thing is blown out of proportion, not the thing about paedophilia that sick and disgusting.

    Just how widespread it is amongst the elites. I think it’s all political theatre as the establishment sees it as a non issue for most of them and it’s nice to have people obsessed with a non issue.

    People like Stephen Hawking went to Epstein island are we saying he was a freak too? Occam’s razor would say that most people on that island would be innocent of the freaky shit. Money hangs around with money and Epstein seemed to have a lot of connections and so maybe it was a nice mixer.

    You could ask how people didn’t know but perhaps they had a special area for VIP freaks and everybody else was somewhere else.

    Not everybody ever pictured at a Diddy party was a freak, although rumours about that dude have been around for a while but still people might not have seen it themselves.

      Of course a lot of it’s fake.

      That’s the whole world now. Hype. Virility. Attention optimization. Influencing, whatever you want to call it. People know it, and are in on the game.

      So of course people are knowingly overhyping up the Epstein thing because they know it will hurt Trump, because it’s QAnon catnip. Just like countless right wing influencers hyped it, too, making millions off of it, while the platforms they used made billions swaying whole countries.

      Theres a course a lot of evidence of a lot of people in Epstein’s orbit, but no, clearly not every human being who stepped on the island knew what was going on. But it doesn’t matter, truth doesn’t matter; it’s just an attention game.
