The real criminals made Q anon to hide themselves. It’s a psyop. The people in the limelight, including Trump’s whole political career are more of a puppet situation… Everyone is a pawn to bigger players that are working the chess board psychologically. They might be criminals but they are being played out by bigger and more dark/evil criminals like chess pieces.
The biggest reason it matters is because we’ve all known for a long time that these sorts of things do happen in wealthy circles, as Epstein isn’t even the first one to be brought to justice over it. While these things have previously been smoothed over by social connections and simply the fact that people have other things to worry about, today the rapidly advancing technologies which exist are making the existence of semi-open corruption within powerful circles an existential crisis for the entire species. We’re seriously risking having the general population decide that civilization simply isn’t worth allowing predators direct and unsupervised access to everyone they care about, forever.
