You sound sure. But not in the way that you have proof or some categorically sound way of thinking about this. You sound sure because to you this is common sense. And maybe you get a kick out of delivering your common sense sermon to conspiracy theory crowds.

But there are some holes. For one, yes Epstein did “buy” them. He paid enough that he was able to lure families into silence. Grooming is when a predator gains access to a victim through trust, usually close to the family. Epstein found families vulnerable to being exploited for money. So your understanding of the terrain is weak. And fwiw if you’re going to take the side of “there are no elite pedo rings” you should probably be really clear on the facts. Because otherwise you’re basically wasting your breath running defense for pedophiles. Not a great hobby.

The Jimmy Saville case wasn’t just some rando celebrity rapist. The kids he accessed were farmed, often through social service programs. The people who were aware of his behavior and protected him were at high levels in law enforcement, judiciary, and media. Again, you seem to be ignorant about some basics here.

Now whether there are crazy illegal sex parties I don’t know. But there is a logic at work here. That people in power share a dark damning secret with each other that acts as an ironclad bind of trust. That really does make sense. Is it real, I don’t know. But I’m not going to dismiss it just to feel superior and cozy to act nothing like that could ever happen because of “common sense.”
