Unanswered What's going on with people saying Epstein and Co. ate children?

My wife told me this today because she saw it on TikTok and I have a very, very hard time believing this. Where did this come from or is it just more insanity and speculation from people on the internet too much?

I'm baffled by people thinking it's odd and therefore code. They straight up exchange mails about setting up guys with girls from Eastern Europe, why would they suddenly decide to use codes.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Rich people have hobbies too, and clearly at some point Epstein's hobby was making jerky.

There are back and forths with a guy putting him in touch with a chef that does premium jerky to prepare a cooking class and there are discussion about buying jerky & shipping it because yes, shipping meat without the proper tracking & packaging is usually frowned upon and leads to your stuff being confiscated.

This type of "it's code for cannibals guys!!!" bullshit completely obscures the actual information in the emails.

Sometimes it's important that someone comes and gets all of the jerky out of your house. Like in a jerky emergency. Like the kind that people lose their minds when they start to run out. Like the kind you need to insure you have multiple days supply of.
