"It does seem like they protest this way too much."
I agree.
Once the NYT went after Mike Flynn, Jr. for pushing "fake news, I KNEW that there must be something to this story.
The NYT times even used Snopes for their assertion that this is debunked.
NO.
Since the NYT is going 100% defense, I am certain this is real.
Had the leftists shut their pie holes I would have thought this was fake.
When the "story" is attacking people asking questions, and how terrible they are, there is definitely "fire", not just smoke.
I think that what is definitely real about this story is that many of the people in this circle are fans of Marina Abramovic and similar artists, who specialize in "performance art" with strong occult and even satanic imagery, often involving nudity (with real actors or life-like mannequins), ritual portrayals of sado-masochism and dismemberment, and suggestions of necrophilia or pedophilia.
This much has been established beyond a doubt, with photos of actual events, and I think the media are emphasizing the far-fetched "Hillary-is-a-sex trafficker" speculation in order to divert attention away from the weird artistic and sexual subculture than some our elite are involved in.
