Oh, yeah. If you want to find out more about how that kind of crime works, watch the movie, “Eden” (2012). That one is *really* based on a true story about human trafficking as confirmed by police investigations. The release if info struck a nerve, so some crooks in the political lobby and PR wings of the (illegal, horrible) business started defaming the woman who brought the information out into the open. Too late, and justice is coming for them one way or another.
Not only that, the same rings of elite crooks have been spreading devil worship rumors other crazy talk to cause healthier people to reject the truth about what they’re really doing along with the silly stuff.
That kind of propaganda works like this. Take the truth about a horrible crime, and mix a lot unbelievable elements (like devil worship, cannibalism, aliens, etc.). Then the people most likely to bring the crooks to justice refuse to believe the true parts, too. Do you see?
Works every time so far. Simply pollute information about real conspiracies with garbage that no sane person can believe, then spread it all over the place.
They’ve used other propaganda approaches, too, but I don’t have time to go into it now.
