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.

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.

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.
