Power for Perversion
I was contemplating the Epstein files and the reason that the elite seem to be particularly prone to pedophilia, sexual abuse, etc. In fact, I don't believe it is that they are prone to it. I believe for many of them, it is the reason they get to be the elite.
Simply put, it is a ritual. It is similar to witchcraft. Witchcraft in its most fundamental form is exchanging something for supernatural power. There is always an exchange (i.e., a cost to the practitioner). In this case (and I would posit in all cases, to varying degrees), power granted in exchange for corruption of the soul. Of course, the only supernatural beings willing to make this exchange are demons. Corruption of the soul grants the demon partial or total ownership (possession) of the soul. This does not mean that the demon has necessarily taken control of the person's body (what we often call possession), but it can lead to that.
How can a sex trafficking ring go on for so long among so many people without being exposed? Because everyone involved is demonized. The perpetrators are willingly demonized and granted power (fame, wealth, prestige, etc.). The victims are threatened, demonized through sex and abortions[1], and sometimes given power as well; or else their mind is clouded such that they forget the encounter or are otherwise prohibited from exposing the atrocities. If manage to still expose it they are labeled schizophrenic, defamed, or called liars.
To the one engaging in the rituals, it may seem like they are just participating in something that they enjoy - no acknowledgement of the supernatural aspect. If they are aware of the pact being made, it may seem as though the elements themselves (blood, etc.) are what grant power. Regardless, the exchange takes place by performing something dark, perverted, or otherwise heinous.
Witchcraft sometimes involves sacrifice. Sometimes, it means defiling oneself. Consider the stereotypical witch's brew. What does it include? Bats wings, frogs eyes, etc. Gross and unclean things which corrupt the one that consumes them.
Corruption of the soul gives legal authority to the demon. This is how the demon knows that the human can be trusted (or forced) to comply with whatever they want, and in exchange the human is granted what they want.
This reminds me of the vampire. I had considered the meaning of this creature recently and it is a fitting comparison.
Thankfully, the corrupted, guilty, and those oppressed by demons can find freedom and peace in Jesus Christ.
