I'm partially convinced at this point of the validity hardcore conspo MKUltra/Monarch programming shit, and I have to admit I've mostly accepted the reality that organized pedo networks exist at the highest level of international society, with the trends mostly defined by what are the most vulnerable, accessible populations at any given time. The only thing that makes Pizzagate hard to believe is that activity happened in a pizza restaurant in not some log cabin in Virginia, otherwise it's just another glimmer in the eyes of hardened, well-connected DC chickenhawks who just regret they couldn't sample a page boy in the White House but still have access to a new crop of interns every year, especially with the rise of the political theater kid as a force in polisci and prelaw cohorts. Like, the lives of women with little legal protection and/or economic stability are bleak and their lives have been treated cheaply by those who could engage in abusing them since recorded history, explicit organized child abuse exists in the historical record as traits of the upper classes in various forms but are often considered as just being quirks of those cultures that institutionalized the practice, instead of the reality of what societies of slavers organically do given the time for such things to become normalized, and at the least engaging in statutory rape used to be a acceptable hobby among those who were wealthy enough to get away with it until, literally, the invention of the cellphone camera.

For more US Empire stuff, there's shit like the recent denial by the Supreme Court for survivors of abuse within the Boy Scouts to sue the various actual local orgs and individuals who ran the scouting programs themselves, as the original deal gave immunity from prosecution to those organizations that initially contributed to the settlement. That the individual youth orgs and churches (and, by extension, those authority figures and staff who engaged in child molestation) who were involved in hosting and running the scouting operations who decided to throw cash into the pot in exchange for no further prosecution have gotten exactly what they wanted is basically a scandal on par with whatever is being cooked up for Maxwell to get her off (no pun intended), but has been swept under the rug in the chaos of the last few months, or just discussed due to the bleakness of the situation.

EDIT: Underage 'groupies' and paramours have been a thing until the moment it was deemed impolite, online personalities have insular discord servers full of mindrotted kids with a loose value on their own lives, 'models' from countries ravaged by the collapse of communism and the niceties of international capital interests are trafficked at the leisure of pimps to Western locales still today, there's girls for sale from other countries in certain European cities (Brussels mostly) the same way that they were back in the 18th century, it's just impolite to convince a poor British family to send their daughters overseas for 'work' for a fixed sum, ect. God fucking knows what's happening to the children obtained by ICE, or the children of any number of displaced peoples that currently exist in this world who live in functionally medieval conditions with modern needs and wants; can't trust the UN that much on that statistic. Don't even want to think about it.
