There is no way of knowing what the real truth is but imagine a situation like this:
You have a group of powerful people with access to resources and loyal goons. And these powerful people want to do things that are unpopular, like molest children, perform satanic rituals, etc. So these people keep their activities secret as best as they can.
Now the powerful people aren't dumb, and they know keeping secrets is nearly impossible with any significantly sized group of participants. This includes not only the powerful people themselves but their minions who may only be tangentially connected. People like drivers, bodyguards, maintenance workers, suppliers, assistants, etc.
So how do they keep from facing the consequences of getting their activities revealed? They reveal it themselves first but in a controlled manner. They manufacture evidence of the unpopular activity, but pointed at unrelated or maybe sympathetic and innocent people, that will eventually be discredited. Or they "leak" real evidence but to publicly discredited individuals "conspiracy theorists", who have cried wolf so many times that nobody believes them.
So now the truth now out there but there will never be a meaningful public outcry for consequences. And any future revelations forever will be associated with the past "doctored" stories.
If you had told me from 10 years ago that I would be taking Alex Jones seriously I wouldn't have believed you.
Another tactic with the same obscuring effect is putting the information out well ahead of time in the form of exaggerated fiction, as a book, through Hollywood connections, or random internet forums as goofball conspiracy theories. Contrary to expectations, getting exposure to as many eyeballs as possible makes it less believable when the truth is ever revealed. A fictional framing of a narrative or trope inoculates the mind against accepting it as real in the future.
"Area 51? Oh is that were the little green men are kept?"
"A fake president installed, brainwashed, and completely under the control of a secret organization? Yeah buddy I saw Manchurian Candidate too."
During Satan's temptation of Jesus, he quoted Psalm 91 (Matthew 4:6). Jesus knew that Satan was taking the verse too liberally (ironically, in a "Jesus, take the wheel"-manner). and rebuked him. The devil knows that the best lie is 90% truth... it's the remaining 10% that'll get you.
Completely justified, although it has the hallmarks of the media intentionally amplifying kooks as misdirection from real problems. For example, the Finders, which have already been mentioned, were involved in the McMartin preschool, which did have tunnels underneath it, but their extensive intelligence connections protected them. The FBI recently released the dox on them which confirms this. Here is a short documentary if that is more your thing.

I'm old enough to have lived through the satanic panic. It was mostly a bullshit witch hunt. Pedos exist, bad parents exist... there is not a large underbelly of hidden ritualistic sex/blood cults in suburban America.
During this time my bother-in-law was taken away from his family because the school took him a slightly odd ADD kid locked him a room away from his Adderall and over the course of the school day convinced him to say his father was abusing him (his family got him back quickly, but It's scary what society can do very quickly when it stops thinking rationally)
A lot of the "evidence" for prosecutions that came out of this panic, were coerced testimonies from pre-teens against their parents. I don't know how many of you have tried to elicit testimony from a small child even about something as simple as who ate the candy, but they are crazy unreliable, even when they aren't guilty.
This is the same moral panic that tried to ban video games and D&D, which have no causal link to violence and/or suicide. Many of my friends could not play D&D because their parents were stupid.
The goal is avoid these witch hunts with all your being whether it's about racism in America, or sex cults in the churches, or even communist supporters in Hollywood [which was probably true, but didn't need the McCarthy response].
communist supporters in Hollywood [which was probably true, but didn't need the McCarthy response].
You're confusing the rambling, over-broad 'House Un-American Activities Committee' (HUAC) of the 1950s with Senator Joseph McCarthy's targeting of foreign agents in the State Department in the 1960s.
McCarthy went after literal communist infiltrators in positions of power, from a different legislative body, in a different decade than the Hollywood folks. The two have been conflated because there were communists in the State Department, and the communists in the media don't like people knowing about it.
A reaction to the obvious truth that is every bit as true today as it was now: The ruling elite are chock full of pedophiles and they get away with it.
However, then - just as now - the media, being an arm of the rulers, focuses solely on the schizos swinging in the wrong direction in order to discredit the entire notion.

Alex Jones' Infowars just filed for bankruptcy like yesterday.

If you haven't heard about it, look up the Dutroux affair as well as the Finders case.
It was probably not just mass hysteria.

McCarthy never even spoke about Hollywood publicly.
