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

I'm not going to debate this with you. Pizzagate was a claim made by Trump supporters during the 2016 election campaign that Democrats were running a human trafficking and child abuse ring - from a pizza restaurant - and that Hillary Clinton had taken part in the ritual murder of a child. It has been widely discredited and was never linked to Epstein in any way. If you choose to believe the person who resurrected this story, on the grounds that a trainee lawyer told him it was true, that's on you. If you choose to believe utterly spurious claims of cannibalism - again, on you. I happen to think Epstein's victims deserve a little more respect. But if it excites you, you go ahead and enjoy it.

What do you mean not debate it with you? Don’t then. I don’t know anything about pizza gate anyway.

There’s plenty about Epstein to be concerning enough.

I haven’t had time to properly delve into the Epstein files properly just yet but the little I have read is truly shocking.

I don’t mean this to sound flippant, but until recently I thought this was all about powerful men who “just” liked to have sex with barely legal girls who had been coerced into complying.

Obviously that’s bad enough, and in another time that would have been sufficient to launch investigations and get people prosecuted. And rightly so.

But clearly what went on is far, far worse - and no one seems to be doing much other than huffing a bit. There’s testimony about the rape and murder of young teens. Pam fucking Bondi lying about things that we can all blatantly see are there in black and white. It’s utter madness. Sure, she’s been bollocked but does anyone actually have any power to do anything? Seemingly not. It feels as if this is going to blow over - along with any of Trump’s other outrageous behaviours that break the law, or those of his representatives (like the ICE murders).

I think depravity and corruption runs much deeper than anyone realised. There is a circle of very powerful men who used vulnerable young girls for their sickest fantasies with literally no consequence.

It feels surreal. It’s like something out of a dark spy thriller - but it’s not fiction.

Maybe that’s the problem; this is so enormous and so awful it’s impossible to truly grasp.

I really hope there’s someone with power in the US that has the drive to get this properly investigated. The trouble is, I’m not sure there’s anyone left to do it. Trump has removed everyone who’s competent at their job in agencies like the FBI and replaced them with inexperienced nonentities who will do his bidding.

This can’t be allowed to drop but who is there to get this done??

I think you are right. I think it"s true. It makes sense. If ordinary people on the internet can engage in depravity fairly easily, as it seems they can, then juat think how much more resourceful rich powerful people are, and how much more access they have to anything they want. I think everything will come out in time but it might take years. It will end up bring studied by historians who will uncover new angles all the time, in the way people study the Tudors or domething now, with new primary sources being discovered for years to come.

The pizzagate claims started because people were concerned about inappropriate photos of children on James Alefantis’s Instagram.

JA owned the pizza restaurant.

Bluecrystal2 · 19/02/2026 11:13

If young girls were drugged then death might have occurred accidentally. Also, if famous people were involved they wouldn't want to risk the girls speaking out.

I've read about rich people hunting humans in war zones and shooting them as sport. The world is such a sick place, and the super rich seem to have a very dark underbelly running through it.

TraitorsLantern · 19/02/2026 11:15

The other thing is that because so many of these men have lied about their contact with Epstein that even if they came out and said specific things aren’t true no-one is going to believe them.

Picklelily99 · 19/02/2026 11:15

Well the express alleges an 8yr old girl was tortured, then goes on to say it was a women, so I wouldn't believe anything they said until it was verified!

As you like, although the clip of Gabriela Rico Jimenez is something. She was obviously dismissed too, and possibly worse than that. Perhaps she should have been listened to.

What was the clip about ?

It all makes me think of that horrible torture porn film, Hostel. I watched that accidentally some years ago - about backpackers who are kidnapped so rich men can torture them to death for sport - and now it seems like it might actually have been a documentary. What the hell?

I remember that film so well. There probably are underground groups of rich fucked up people out there.

Roth himself stated that his inspiration for this film came from an ad he came across, regarding some place in Thailand, where people sold their relatives to be shot by anyone willing to pay - talking millions here.

I actually don't understand- eating babies is referenced in the publicly available Epstein files but no major reporter / media outlet has picked it up?

People have spotted that there's an excessive amount of references to 'jerky' in some emails. Also, info on how to store it in the freezer etc. (Jerky is dried and isn't stored in freezers). Seeing as their abuse references code involves food, they're thinking that 'jerky' could mean meat made from children.

If you google Gabriela Rico Jiménez it’ll give a run down of what distressed her, pretty much what’s in your op but in 2009, when and then police removing her.

A distraught model outside a hotel screaming blue murder about the rich doing cannibalism. She then disappeared.

I just don't know why anyone would want to. Cannibalism has mainly been a symbolic thing, culturally. That bit seems like hyperbole but as others have said - maybe it was invented so the other stuff also can be dismissed as farfetched, when really it isn't.

Quite. It really isn’t far fetched that there’s such will have been newborn babies they would have wanted kept secret at all costs. Young girls do get pregnant. Obviously they can get rid of some through abortion and secret adoptions. But it really isn’t beyond the realms that some will have been killed and buried in an out of the way place.

The cannibalism does sound like a sensationalist story spread either by conspiracy theorists or by the perpetrators to make the stories sound too outlandish to believe.

I used to run a conspiracy website ages ago, and i remember coming across an article in the Guardian about snuff films, even though the general consensus at the time, was that they were nothing but urban myths. I thought I'd try and find it again, and I did find it: https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2000/oct/01/ameliagentleman.philipwillan
One of the reasons I stopped doing the conspiracy website was because it just got too depressing. I think the Marc Dutroix one was the last I wrote up about. Just so prevalent. Anyone, at this point, who doesn't believe that the rich and maybe famous too, would never sink to the depths of depravity mentioned, are being very naive.

British link to 'snuff' videos

Britain is a key link in the biggest ever international investigation into the production and supply of paedophile 'snuff' movies - in which children are murdered on film - an Observer investigation can reveal.

I don't think bringing up pizza gate is helpful. Epstein was abusing teenage girls. Pizza gate was alleging abuse and cannibalism of babies. Doesn't make Epstein any less vile...

There were younger girls involved in the Epstein files. 10-13 year olds being checked for ‘tightness’ children’s teeth being removed to prevent biting down. A 13 year old who remembers her first time being with an Orange politician, Jeffrey Epstein saying that trafficked people are like shrimp ‘cut of the head and keep the body’…I’m not sure how true these allegations are but if they are then its horrific!

NewspaperTaxis · 19/02/2026 11:39

That Surrey Police is investigating does not mean that much, they're pretty corrupt, like just about every police force. They have a tendency to 'investigate' and you sit back and relax, thinking, okay, they're on it. Time passes and nothing comes of it, 'not enough evidence to proceed' but the story has died down by then, that's the idea. They do this with allegations against care homes for the elderly. I took a story about Firtree House Nursing Home in Banstead to the press, the police said they were 'investigating' but they never phoned me!

Years ago there was a story about historical sexual abuse in a Banstead care home in Firtree Road (I happened upon it while Googling my own story at a different care home in that road), you can find it on the net still probably. Victims were encouraged to contact a legal firm with allegations. This and some of Savile's goings-on in a Nork young people's home were also a thing, but nothing has come of it and one suspects people were encouraged to come forward so they could keep tabs on the story and delete any relevant files, to contain it.

Lord Mountbatten was accused of sexually abusing kids in a Northern Ireland care home, it is documented in Andrew Lownie's biography some years ago, 20 pages is devoted to it. Lownie did the recent bombshell account of the Duke and Duchess. The press has largely ignored the stuff on Mountbatten and there's been no investigation - admittedly this took place over half a century ago.

Yes, just because someone's intellectually smart & training in law doesn't mean they have common sense/critical thinking.

Well yes sure and I don’t know anything about eating babies! As I said I don’t know much of anything about pizzagate.

She described it to me as an elite ring who rape, torture and murder children. What do we have here. Elite group tick, rape tick, children tick, torture tick, that’s only leaving murder which other posters are talking about.

She didn’t say anything about a pizza place or eating babies. Pretty much what she said sounds true to me in hindsight.

Having now googled there is an extreme version involving a specific pizza chain, satanic stuff as previous poster said and other bonkers stuff. So not sure if I believe that.

But do I now believe the base idea of pizzagate. I don’t know. It’s not looking insane anymore

But how did she find out about it in the first place ? Do you know ?

Yep and who should be believed and why? The distressed young model or some criminals associated including Epstein. Interested to know why it wouldn’t be her.

Aluna · 19/02/2026 11:47

If you read the account of the first woman to report Epstein to police - Maria Farmer - of happened to her and her sister at the New Mexico ranch - from the death threats she received afterwards and the fact she lived 25 years of her life under the radar, it’s clear what the people in that circle were capable of.

She was also held against her will at Les Wexner’s property in Ohio where she had gone to complete an artist’s commission. She only got away because her father drove from Kentucky to Ohio to pick her up. (Wexner is billionaire owner of Victoria’s Secret and Abercrombie and Fitch, close confidant of Epstein who claims Epstein stole around $40 million from him).

She only chose to speak out publicly once she was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2019.

Genuine question: why is more not happening about this? Are we all desensitised? Or is it so deep and widespread that whole governments would collapse? The fbi have literally said there's child p and death in the files . Why isn't more happening?

I think it's both.
I wouldn't say: 'desensitised' but the CSA & possibly more claims are so outwith most people's normality that it is hard to grasp really. It's horrible. It's depresssing. It's actually terrrifying that there is so much of it out there & we are relatively powerless (ie you are lucky not to be abused imo). That is hard to contemplate. It's much easier to not think about it. If it hadn't been a part of my life I might try not to think about it too, but I don't have that option (I don't dwell on it daily but it'll always be a part of who I am & is currently front, left & centre)

Also, yes it is so deep & widespread that it would defo bring down DJT/ current US Govt, & is currently damaging both the UK Govt & the UK Royal family.
That is a LOT of power & money & experience of making things go away.

Well from my point of view - eating babies.
I’m not saying it doesn’t happen in some weird voodoo type cultures / situations. But I can’t quite believe that a group of rich and powerful men are trafficking babies for this purpose

Oh yeah, like only primitive types do this kind of thing. How many westerners have been prosecuted over the years for cannibalism? It happens. It's also connected to deviant sexual practises and quasi religious ceremonies. You might not believe in satanism, but it's not that uncommon.
