Blocked and Reported

Premium: Pizzagate 2.0, Epstein Edition

February 12, 2026

Key Takeaways Copied to clipboard!

  • The hosts of **Blocked and Reported** are skeptical of the narrative surrounding the newly released Epstein files, finding many claims within the documents, particularly anonymous tips, to be highly conspiratorial or unreliable. 
  • The current public reaction to the Epstein files, amplified by figures like Mario Noffel and Rod Dreyer, mirrors the fever pitch and lack of critical skepticism seen during the Pizzagate era, where simple references (like the word "pizza") are interpreted as evidence of severe crimes. 
  • The released documents contain numerous outlandish and seemingly fabricated tips, such as claims involving Tony Hawk's wedding on Epstein's island and sexual assault allegations against Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush, which the hosts believe undermine the credibility of the entire dump.

  • Key Takeaway: The proliferation of the word “pizza” in the Epstein emails is directly compared to the Pizzagate conspiracy theory, where mundane references are interpreted as coded language for child abuse.
