Epstein Arrest Leaves Top Technology Figures Racing to Distance Themselves

Just want to point out that a lot of this information has long been known in circles dismissed as conspiracy theory under the overly broad label "pizzagate."

Suddenly the crazy connections among business magnates, past and present world leaders, and pedophile rings is not so crazy.

You're getting downvoted, but there was a similar issue in UK political circles. It's absolutely within the realm of possibility.

Pizzagate was fiction and was easily debunked. The fact that there are actually bad people who do actual bad things doesn't suddenly validate made-up stories.

the term "pizzagate" was part of the disinformation to throw the actual investigation under the bus.

The press focused on a leaked report that it all happened in a small pizza place. While it effectively (for the leakers) killed progress of the investigation (the one which consequences are being talked now in this thread, so it was very much real) it also gave a catchy name for a while, that cause real investigative reports to jump in.

fake news is a very interesting problem to follow.

Of course Pizzagate was fiction. That's not the point the original comment was making. The comment simply stated that unrelated events such as Epstein were being unnecessarily lumped in with the "pizzagate" craziness in recent years (caused both by feverish conspiracy theorists, and a reflexive dismissal by the media) and due to that the broader topic of 'pedophilia among elites' was ignored up until now.

Who knows? In another 10 years, pizzagate players may also end up spending a few hours in the slammer every week.
