What’s hilarious is that (IMO) a lot of people hung out with Epstein because he was a kind of male socialite. He was always throwing parties, he knew all the rich and powerful people, and could introduce anybody to anybody else. He was a human LinkedIn for the top 0.0001%. AFAIK, that’s also how he made his money. He introduced people who made deals, and he’d be cut in on a tiny fraction of a big deal.
I’m sure that he kept his pedophelia quiet, and only shared it with people he could either trust, or people he could blackmail if needed. But, that was probably only a tiny fraction of his huge social circle. Most people are not pedophiles, and it stands to reason that just because someone is rich doesn’t make them suddenly become attracted to kids. Everybody who wasn’t one was probably willfully blind. They needed him for his connections, so they made excuses for him, and didn’t look too closely.
So, it’s possible that the Epstein Files contain hundreds or even thousands of people. Some are probably pedophiles, but probably not a lot of them.
What I love about this is that he pretty much exclusively hung out with the ultra-rich. So, even though only a fraction of them are probably pedophiles, they’re all people who should be the focus of public anger.
For years the rich have successfully made immigrants, gays, non-whites, women, jews, college professors, etc. the targets rather than themselves. Somehow they get Joe Sixpack to get angry that a McDonalds worker is making the same wage as him, and then get angry at that McDonalds worker rather than the owner of his company who’s massively underpaying him. Apparently it’s impossible to get through to Joe Sixpack and convince him that the rich should be his real target.
Now, thanks to stupid conspiracy theories like the QAnon Adrenochrome BS or the Pizzagate conspiracy theory Joe Sixpack is convinced that the rich and powerful are all child molesters and are kidnapping kids to harvest their blood. And, they’re convinced that the Epstein List is a list of people doing those horrible things. Finally they actually have the right target. It’s for the wrong reasons, but let’s just celebrate that finally they’re actually focusing on the rich and powerful.
