New Jeffrey Epstein files set off fresh conspiracy theories : NPR
The recent unsealing of court records related to Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged associates has sparked a new wave of conspiracy theories surrounding the late financier. Theories link high-profile figures to Epstein and speculate on the true nature of his activities and death. Such theories are often contradictory and function on the premise that what the public sees is a controlled narrative. The proliferation of these conspiracy theories can be attributed to the rise of “conspiracy entrepreneurs” who gain from spreading such beliefs through digital media. However, experts warn that these theories can divert attention from legitimate societal issues and have worrying potential to influence politics.
