I was in this boat but recent events made me re consider. If you analyze what happened with Jimmy Saville scandal you can see that the elites are actually pretty corrupt and tend to cover up the wrongdoings of their friends, they being involved in human trafficking and paedophilia is not so far fetched.
There have been several "incidents" that show that horrible thing happens and the authorities look the other way. A few years ago a woman in France reported being held as an labour and sexual slave, when the police went to place where she was being holded, they found some princess from Saudi Arabia, this woman was allowed to leave the country without facing any legal consequences and everything was kept quiet, so this things happens. Search "Meshael Alayban" and see another case.
On my part I will keep an open mind!
