Just that. Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse. Now horrific allegations about a property on New Mexico.

Oh, honestly, get a grip.

This thread is an absolute mess.

Pizzagate was entirely discredited. The pizza shop didn't even have a basement.

Let's not forget that a man went to Comet Ping Pong with an AR15 because he had filled his head with nonsense, probably on a thread like this

No doubt that Epstein and his ilk did awful things, but you've got people posting already discredited photos of Mick Jagger purporting to eat human flesh.

If you want to actually have any impact on rich men like this, use your wallet. Women as a group have immense buying power. Stop using Airbnb, or buying Estee Lauder etc etc etc. Switch to small ethical suppliers rather than lining the pockets of Trump donors. Don't vote Reform, they are Maga by any other name.

And fact check what you post.

How can we be sure of everything Ms Lucas is saying, though? I don't doubt she was abused but that doesn't mean she's correct about all the names etc

Er.. because she was there? And because she knows other victims. This was in that particular interview and there are others. Don’t bother questioning if you haven’t bothered to listen to at least a few of them.

People know who they were abused by in childhood, and sometimes finally come forward in adulthood.

Oh, right. A nutter who attacked Virginia Giuffre as a liar and defended Andrew and Ghislaine?

Not about to spend my time listening to her being interviewed because I generally assess people's credibility before I put my faith in them.

Oh I agree...I can't stand the woman. And some of the stuff she says is just unbelievable. I think Tom was speechless which is unusual for him.

I haven’t looked at any pizzagate stuff but I do think a distressed young woman should have been listened to over a decade ago. Perhaps it could have all been investigated then.

And while we're at it, cancel your accounts on Elon what-night-is-the-best-party-on-the-island? Musk's conspiracy riddled hellsite. We'll all be about 75% smarter.

I don't doubt she was abused but how do we know actual celebrities were the abusers? As pp said, abusers sometimes wear outlandish disguises (Mickey Mouse masks in the example she gave) to discredit victims if they try to speak.

That reminds me: Sarah’s email to Epstein, after he’d apparently cut her off from his gravy train in Sept 2011, very pointedly mentions the birth of his new baby, not once but three times. (Andrew had lost his Trade Envoy role two months earlier.)

This is taken from a BBC article:

"Don't know if you are still on this bbm [BlackBerry Messenger] but heard from The Duke that you have had a baby boy," the first email says.

"Even though you never kept in touch, I still am here with love, friendship and congratualtions [sic] on your baby boy. Sarah xx."

A follow-up message is then sent to Epstein eight minutes later.

"You have disappeared," the email says. "I did not even know you were having a baby. It was sooooo crystal clear to me that you were only friends with me to get to Andrew. And that really hurt me deeeply. More than you will know."

It has never been publicly confirmed that Epstein had children.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cddgv9nvj9zo

Was this Sarah’s clumsy attempt to use her inside knowledge to manipulate Epstein into opening up the financial taps again? Was it Sarah’s way of saying, ‘Don’t forget, Jeffrey, I know who you are and Andrew has told me what you do?’

Is this what Andrew’s bewildering ‘pizza’ remark was about during the Maitliss interview, that had reportedly flummoxed even Beatrice? It could be an attempt at a warning shot from Andrew, saying, ‘I know that pizzagate is not your crime but I do know about the ones that are’. Maybe ‘pizza’ ended up as another code word.

That both Sarah F and Andrew were making coded remarks to tip off they were in the know would be characteristic of state operatives.

Has @IloveOwlsandPenguins seen the YouTube clip of Jimmy Savile being interviewed by Parkinson in the 70s? Alan Alda is a fellow guest, watching on slightly bemused. Savile tells a mad story in his scattergun style, about a treat for a young teenager - getting her in to see Prince Philip. He smuggled her in the boot of his car and on his arrival, got her out to introduce her. 'She'll remember that for the rest of her life,' observed Parky.

Now, it really sounds like he was talking about procuring women for Prince Philip and smuggling them in to the Palace - putting them in the boot of the car was the way, I understand, that was said about Princess Diana's paramours, too.

It seems to be the way Savile might send a message out - remember I've got dirt on you, you better play nice. Incidentally, I once picked up a copy of Savile's memoirs published in the early 80s, at a massive second hand book sale in Epsom Methodist Church, of all places. I flicked through it, thinking, well, he's hardly going to mention his sexual abuse of teenagers is he. In fact, he does just that. Talks about shagging a teenage girl 'my seductress' he called her, making out she was doing all the running, in a mobile caravan he had. And it implied she was one of many. He didn't go into details of the sex, but he made it sound all rock n roll. You'd be a spoilsport to object, that kind of thing.

In Miles Goslett's (sp?) acclaimed book A Convenient Death, well reviewed by the mainstream media, about the death of weapons inspector David Kelly, a similar thing is referenced on a govt website - a strange, incongruous mention of paedophilia, as if to tip someone off not to make a fuss about it, or we will go after you with paedophile allegations we've got against you. You can figure it out for yourself, it is one hell of a book because you have to puzzle things out for yourself - but the author does leave clues. But yes, leaving coded messages as if to say, hey, remember yourself, we're in the same club, seems to be common enough.

What has that got to do with Ms Lucas? Who said her abusers were wearing masks? You just got that idea from another post!!

Again, go and watch the whole video. It’s clear you haven’t.

The point is how do we know the people in question were celebrities, or just claiming to be those people/looked similar to them, or yes, even wearing masks (which is not unknown)? They may have been celebrities but that's not the only explanation.

More likely to be vulnerable, possibly sometimes lower IQ, more likely to be isolated from peer group & vulnerable to grooming.

I once went down the 'pizzagate cabal' rabbit hole. And back then I laughed at how bonkers it was that anybody thought that could be true...

However, now...

I saw a video on YT of some allegations about what went on at diddy's parties. It's so crazy it seems unbelievable initially but if you were going to make something up you'd want it to actually be believable? Which makes me think it's probably very true.

As a side note, do we think diddy picked up where Epstein left off?

I also remember the stories surrounding Westminster and paedophile rings. It wouldn't surprise me at all. Epstein and diddy will neither be the first nor the last of such organised buried heinous crimes.

What went on at diddy's parties that was crazy ? What did he do ?

Ten years I was telling people about it and they were telling me I needed pyschiatric help. Now who's laughing. I'm also intelligent but it's amazing how long even MN has been saying conspiracy theories are all nutters. None of this is a surprise, not one part that's slowly coming to light in the regular media. Us 'nutter's are all nodding and saying, we told you so.

You're clearly all not ready for just how dark this gets.

I completely agree. I've been going down these rabbit holes for years and there's much worse to come.

Basquervill · 19/02/2026 18:29

It’s black magic, ritualistic, crossing the taboo, to gain power, like fire walking and lying on a bed of nails. Like self flagellation. Like sackcloth and ashes. Like st Simeon stylites. Strange extreme practices. The Jakob Frank cult gone underground. That is their ethos. They are living out their belief system.

There's a real imbalance of power in demanding victims provide incontrovertible proof of their perpetrator's crimes. Don't get me wrong, I think it's good to be skeptical and question but what I'm noticing about your posts is that the skepticism is directed at the people who have been abused rather than their abusers.

This is one of the ways we as a society preserve the status quo. I've never been given to conspiracy theories but something about this is different. And requiring such a high price for belief is epistemic injustice in action.

James Alefantis and his inappropriate Instagram posts of children are the reason for the entire pizzagate thing.

In addition I think the ‘absolute mess’ posts show how hard it would have been for any victim to get help. The sheer power, status, silencing tactics and society’s ease at disbelieving is stacked against them.

Your post does NOT reply adequately to mine. You come across as charlatan with an agenda. Like an attempt to muddy the waters by trying to appear genuine whilst simultaneously and deliberately doing what you can to raise doubt.

It’s not working “Carla”.

And here’s another link “Carla”. From now on, every time you reply to me, I’ll keep posting more links so that anyone with an ounce of integrity can take the time to hear for themselves rather than paying any attention to you.
