The evidence is overwhelming but circumstantial in virtually all cases. The story loses validity when we start to apply it to specific people, because it looks insane without first discussing the history of child abuse rings.

The main "Fakeness" of it is simply that the fringe members and shrills sometimes state conclusions without bulletproof evidence, which would seem like zealotry to someone that hasn't done any research, nor even understands the process of critical though.

My advice is to focus on things we know are true. For instance: Jeffery Epstein served 15 months of a 18 month sentence for prostitution with a 14 year old. He owns an island. ...then you go from there. You point out that society as a whole accepts that reality and chooses to ignore it...I encourage everyone to allow the person your informing to take in the information on their own terms and be patient. When ideas are forced on someone they are instantly a hoax to them.
