Now that is very interesting; an arbitrary salad-bar approach to QAnon. They're right about this, but wrong about that.
There is literally no more evidence for "pedovores" than there is that Trump is working to save us all from them. You have yourself chosen to invoke Saville. Post-mortem, several of his abuse victims have come forward and described what he did to them. Not a single one of them said anything about occult rituals or cannibalism. And the same is true across the gamut of high-positioned media personalities. Rolf Harris was accused of molesting young children and assaulting underage women. Jonathan King assaulted numerous boys in the 70's and 80's; Gary Glitter had this whole period where he kept getting deported from various Southeast Asian countries for molesting children. Jeffrey Epstein, as I've already mentioned, is not really even in QAnon's wheelhouse because although many of his prostitutes were underage, they weren't actual young children of the kind that QAnon has concerned itself with; but that's fine: even of all Epstein's victims, not a single one has ever mentioned occult rituals or cannibalism. Jerry Sandusky, Dennis Hastert, Mark Foley. These are all again highly-positioned or extremely powerful people. These are all people whose sexual offenses are established as a matter of historical fact, and whose victims' accounts are on record in some way or another. Number of allegations of occult rituals: zero. Number of allegations of bloodletting or cannibalism: zero. Politicians can be pretty damn unlikeable, granted; but there's absolutely no reason to believe they're literally eating babies while saying prayers to Satan. It's completely ridiculous. |

Maybe, but the true believers will have a hard time trusting the plan when Trump is out of office and the supposed pedovores are still not only free but thriving. I can't help thinking that there will be stupid people doing stupid things and innocent people getting hurt in the process.

Pedovore is not a real word. However the Urban dictionary states....
Urban dictionary / "Pedovore" Something that only eats children. Similar to Omnivore and Carnivore. Often describes the monsters in children's horror stories and fears. "The Pedovores still live in these very woods, searching for lost children to steal away for dinner." https://www.urbandictionary.com/defi...?term=Pedovore I can imagine even Trump isn't interested in saving Hansel and Gretel , from the wicked witch. ![]() You are most welcome to post your evidence that "pedovores" are real. ![]() |

Watch the documentary “Sun, Sea and Satan” about Haut de la Garenne, on the Isle of Jersey, where numerous bones of children, bloodstains, and instruments of torture were uncovered. Yes, Jimmy Saville is connected. No, you are not worth a link.
It makes perfect logical sense that serial pedophiles would use murder to destroy witnesses, and cannibalism is just one extra step once a psychopath has committed down that dark path. There are plenty of historical accounts of the cannibalistic rape and murder of children going as far back as the Incan empire. The human nature of elites has not changed, you’re just living in a bubble. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

They very first bit: a person heard something about stuff. None of us here are saying this sort of doesn't happen; what we are saying is that 'what is the evidence that it happens in this particular instance'? Otherwise, you, Tippit, might as well be equally guilty. I am never really sure why those such as you never quite grasp this.

Oh god, this again?
The Haut Carenne was a children's home, so it stands to reason children were most likely abused there. It's documented Saville visited the place at least once so it's at least hypothetically possible that he molested one or more children while he visited. But the allegations about "blood", remains, and "instruments of torture" was thoroughly debunked at the time. Aside from human baby-teeth - which you'd expect to find on the site of a children's home - the only other human bones recovered at Haut Carenne were found to be over 300 years old. This is actually a case that illustrates how damaging this confabulating and fantasizing can actually be. All of the hype and focus on the sensational claims by the local police about shackles and parts of skulls and blood being found, when those claims were soundly shown to be false, by association tainted that department's entire investigation, which began with credible claims by actual victims - none of whom, again (and my god this is such a weird trend), ever said anything about occult rituals or children being killed or eaten, or anything else wildly sensational. |

This has nothing to do with Qanon...but if you actually take this particular subject seriously you'd provide a link out of respect for the victims.
This is a 2008 Daily Mail article about the subject: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ournalist.html The documentary is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lq6lJsBz9UY The difference is that Qanon idiots treat this subject like a parlor game. I don't know if you stand with them, I hope not. Qanon is part of the problem that allows actual child sexual abuse to continue through vociferous ignorance. |

I can see why you ran away from offering a link.
![]() The Guardian / Haut de la Garenne "To some degree, it was a false alarm. Towards the end of the year police said they did not believe any murders had taken place at Haut de la Garenne.

In no case of know cannibalism was the goal to eliminate evidence: there is just way too much identifiable tissue and bone that cannot be consumed no matter what.
That idea is pure nonsense. But taking the bigger picture: even if true, and you could find some cases - how statistically significant are they to the daily suffering of children from the sexual abuse from those closest to them? Aren't you absolving their tormentors by suggesting only a shadow cabal of elites commit sexual abuse of minors? |

Absolutely. It was made by a bloke called Bill Maloney who was simultaneously making and self starring in a fictional film about himself as a child victim in a government institution.

Qanon Conspiracy Theories Part Two
What is it about pseudo-skeptics that they have such poor reading comprehension? Nowhere did I suggest that cannibalism was used to destroy evidence, I said that the children are murdered so that they can never testify against their abusers. Cannibalism is part of the satanic ritual abuse for the ninth-circle type elite cult members. Good work debunking something I didn’t claim. I haven’t made any claims of how frequently this happens, only that there is a trainload of creepy circumstantial evidence, and recurring patterns that indicate that this is happening. How does commenting on ritual murder and abuse by elites in any way “absolve the tormentors” engaged in the far more common abuses that occur? Your logic is as garbage as your reading comprehension. You’re just looking for ways to insult me and make me appear as oblivious, uncaring, and willfully ignorant of this house of horrors as you are. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

One problem when one deals with pseudo-reasoning is that it's hard to know for sure what the wild claims and unsupported premises are supposed to support, since none of it makes any sense in the real world. You can hardly blame those trying to unpack your nonsense for the effort they make.
Patterns. Paranoia. Conspiracism. What are we supposed to do with your feelings and intuitions when none of it leads anywhere outside of your own psyche? There are real cases of abuse where children are in danger, and your comic-book-villain fantasies distract from them. People wasting their time and energy outraging over "elites" can cause the real threats of family and friends to go unnoticed. |

The Vatican is probably the world’s foremost authority on ritual child abuse, rape, and murder. Unlike your typical priest in a local church, however, it’s so institutionalized that the victims never make it out alive to tell. They just wind up in some dark ossuary. The age of consent is I think twelve in a city where there are presumably no children, and no one is ever born. That (plus the mountains of other evidence) speaks volumes. I wouldn’t be surprised to discover that the Vatican is the global epicenter of the ninth circle cult. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

And you've seen these rituals? You know they happen how? It would be hardly surprising to learn that members of the Catholic clergy in Vatican city engaged in the sexual abuse of children. Sexual abuse of children by priests is well documented and a topic the RCC has been struggling with for decades. But how do you know about the rituals? How do you know this isn't a case of the Vatican not being able to control its priests and then covering up for offenders?

You ask as if an answer in the affirmative would mean anything to you. You summarily dismiss any and all evidence that doesn't confirm your bias, firsthand, or otherwise.

So slander is just a fun game for you.
And why are you all hot and bothered about bones discovered in ossuaries? You do understand the purpose of an ossuary right? It's not all that uncommon to stumble upon old ossuaries in Europe. |

You keep doing this. "We're not just talking about mere abuse, we're talking about ritual killing and cannibalism! Supporting evidence: this case in which absolutely no allegations of ritual abuse or cannibalism were ever made!"
A forensic investigation WAS done on the bones.
Quote:
Who - of course - never said anything about ritual killings or cannibalism. These cases and claims you keep linking are simply not backing you up, Tippit. You're taking completely mundane cases and theories of kidnappings or abuse and rewriting them to add a bunch of Halloween campfire-story horsecrap that they didn't start out with. |

You know, if people have lived in a city for over 2 millennia you pretty much have to be economical about how much space you give to skeletal remains of people. There's nothing sinister about dumping them in catacombs or ossuaries, especially since most people are long since forgotten after a couple of hundred years or so.

Gabriele Amorth was a man, a catholic priest. He was appointed by the Vatican as the Pope’s exorcist. He made many claims, including that Harry Potter was satanic, that Yoga was satanic, that Hitler knew the Devil, and that he performed 90,000 exorcisms in 38 months (that's 77 a day). He seem to have seen Satan behind everything, and that’s understandable given that’s how his job is ‘justifiable’.
It doesn’t feel like he was a particularly credible claimant, especially when he was so vague about the claim, didn’t present any evidence - and, yes, isn’t recorded as doing a thing about child abuse for the first 59 years he was a priest. Then when you see there was a forensic investigation done with the involvement of Emanuela Orlandi’ family and it didn’t find any bones from after the 18th century, it makes me feel even less like Father Gabriele’s claims can be used in evidence for a satanic people eating conspiracy. It’s also a bit rude to call other people posting here pseudo-sceptics when you obviously haven’t even bothered to do a tiny bit of research into this case, accepting Father Gabriele’s claim at face value without even realising ‘she’ was a man. Anyway, none of this has anything to do with qanon, so I am going to report my own post as a major derail and suggest all this be split into a new pedovore discussion thread. |

It's is well know that the Catacombs in Paris contain only the bones of ritually killed children.

I can't stop laughing..... it was a complete fabricated story by the same bloke who fooled Bubba..
"Teens were drugged, stripped naked, raped, hunted down in the woods and killed by European royals according to this week’s latest eyewitness to testify before the International Common Law Court of Justice in Brussels. The woman was the fourth eyewitness to give accounts about these human hunting parties of the global elite Ninth Circle Satanic Child Sacrifice Cult network" As Snopes Explains The answer is that this story was completely fabricated; and the International Common Law Court of Justice (ICLCJ), also known as the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS), is a non-existent entity.nothing more than a “one-man blog that pretends to be a tribunal established to enforce common law”: ![]() Snopes / "FALSE" https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/hunting-license/ I think Tippit should stop posting until he determines if he has any evidence at all that isn't from insane one person blogs. ![]() |

Found it.
Bubba provided "evidence" of Satanic child rape from The International Tribunal for Natural Justice which turned out to be one bloke pretending to be a prosecutor, who claimed children were being sent to Mars as sex slaves. It was a completely bogus blog that fooled Bubba. Bubba's Claim http://www.internationalskeptics.com...postcount=3081 The reality http://www.internationalskeptics.com...postcount=3084 Meanwhile Tippit make a similar specific claim ""Teens were drugged, stripped naked, raped, hunted down in the woods and killed by European royals according to this week’s latest eyewitness to testify before the International Common Law Court of Justice in Brussels. The woman was the fourth eyewitness to give accounts about these human hunting parties of the global elite Ninth Circle Satanic Child Sacrifice Cult network" Which is also from one bloke's blog pretending to be a court, this time called the International Common Law Court of Justice (ICLCJ) (Snopes) "and the International Common Law Court of Justice (ICLCJ), also known as the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS), is a non-existent entity.nothing more than a “one-man blog that pretends to be a tribunal established to enforce common law”: Both stories are 100% bogus inventions on blogs and both Bubba and Tippit refuse to provide any alternative evidence for their bogus and debunked claims ![]() |
