Conspiracy theorists like flat-earthers, hollow-earthers and tall-grey believers are paid to believe and push their ideas to discredit ALL Conspiracy theories to include ones that are actually true.
In 1990 you probably would be called one if you said you believed Epstein was a pedo
yes, fake conspiracy is used to discredit real ones. but I don't think it's the case with Epstein and the pedo-elite. here's why:
in 1983, the McMartin Preschool case gripped the nation and set off what is called "the Satanic Panic" of the 1980s. allegations from hundreds of children "reportedly described being abused, often in fantastical situations involving human sacrifice, child pornography, and Satanic rituals."
after 3 years and 15 million investigation, no criminal convictions were obtained; media today denounces the case and calls the accused, "victims." it poisoned the well for anyone coming forward in public with such allegations.
it might be easier to claim election fraud than Satanic Ritual Abuse.
nevertheless, the following reports both made it to mainstream:
1989 - 60 Minutes Australia broadcasts "Satan's Children", documenting child sexual abuse, sacrifice and cannibalism.
1981 - televised documentary "Boys for Sale" reveals elite (politicians, bankers, judges, local and federal agents) abuse of boy "prostitutes," including torture and death covered up by medical examiners.
