From how some are interpreting the files, the story is that Epstein knew the founder of 4chan and some others hatched a plan that became Qanon movement that appears to be literally what they were doing. I think it was to turn it into this huge conspiracy theory so that even if people did find out and/or talked about it no one would believe them.
I mean how on the nose is a secret international cabal of baby eating, sex trafficking pedophiles? It's literally the plot of tons of conspiracy theories and bad novels..in a lot of ways you have to wonder how long people like them have been doing it. They are the "they". They are the "them". It's so damn surreal and I feel like an kook, a conspiracy nut if I didn't read it straight from a website run by the US Dept of Justice even so, it feels so cringe.
