I remember tons of people deriding me as insane for saying the elite and powerful were involved in pedophilia and raping small children.

And then as soon as Epstein was out they all acted like they knew it all along and I was just crazy for making a big deal about it.

It’s not just the rich and famous. They’re just the ones with lawyers.

Look at how the IRS treats the ultra wealthy. At some point it becomes very difficult to prosecute.

Sacklers, case in point.

>the elite and powerful were involved in pedophilia and raping small children

This isn't a useful generalization (I assume there is a reason you are generalizing this dramatically). E.g. Pizzagate seems more of the "I just hate my political/social enemies" variety, whereas "A wealthy guy has sex with minors" is very believable. The Epstein case is a particularly exaggerated/dramatic version of the latter, but still way more believable than the former.

Let's be clear the Epstein case is a rich and powerful guy is pimping out minors to wealthy and politically influential individuals and then filming them to leverage for black mail.

As I pointed out in an earlier comment often times the outlandish conspiracy theories have a kernel of Truth at the center, e.g. pizzgate was an outgrowth of the fact if Epstein.

nope, it both predated epstein conspiracy and grew out of the podesta email leaks.

i have been following since the start on 4chan because this is my local pizza shop

It sounds like you’re describing pizzagate, which alleged not nearly the same thing as what Epstein did. Nor did the pizzagate allegations involve the same people or groups.

The one doesn’t prove the other.

Pizzagate:

- Seth Rich, working for the democrat party, contacts Kim dot com.

- Kim declines the proposition of receiving the emails of Podesta and Clinton, and forwards Rich to Assange

- Assange gets the documents and release them

- Seth Rich is found dead in Washington, two bullets were shot in his back.

Seth Rich’s own family and the officers investigating the murder say none of this is true.

First thing I'd do, if I was Mr. Rich and thought I had whistleblower type material that could represent a risk to my freedom or safety, would be to call my mom and tell her all about it.

Sorry for the confusing post, I'm digging into the details and what I said is basically what Kim Dot Com said around a week ago:

https://twitter.com/KimDotcom/status/1649574074732154880

> False claim 6: Dotcom claimed that he worked with Seth Rich.

> Truth: Seth Rich contacted me and offered information about the DNC. I rejected receiving the data personally and forwarded him to someone close to Wikileaks. That’s how Wikileaks got the DNC and Hillary Clinton leaks.
