Let's do a thought experiment: Suppose the NYT knew for a fact that - at the very least - Comet Ping Pong was a hangout for people who engaged in bizarre sexual/artistic experiments involving nudity, symbolic dismemberment and stabbings of nude mannequins, sexually-related food fetishes, and artistic themes suggesting a sexual interest in minors.

Suppose further that the denizens of this place included people with access to prominent Democratic politicians, celebrities, and progressive journalists. Would the Times report on it? I doubt it, or, should I say, only insofar as to refute it.

And yet I've seen undeniable photos that this crowd of people DOES engage in such activity, not necessarily at the pizza place, but at other venues and private homes. Why is the Times even pushing back if this story is so detached from reality?

Comet Ping Pong is a pizza place. Anyone can walk in and get a pizza. The question isn’t the foods they have. It’s the services they allegedly perform. The NYT is just plain worthless.

They ran a Podesta’s not a Satanist story as well a few days before the election. #SpiritCooking.

The PizzaGate has hit the level where they feel the need to knock it down as crazy ‘conspiracy theory.’

The phrase ‘conspiracy theory’ was, btw, invented by the C.I.A. to discredit those seeking the truth. Ironic!

I think this is connected to the “Insurance Files” on the Weiner laptop and they are trying to do damage control ahead of time.

Once Trump is in power I expect that information not to be part of an indictment but first to be dumped on the net in huge files. The public will then demand prosecution and it won’t be from Trump on high - it’ll be organic from the masses demanding justice.

We have not yet seen anything rising to proof, but my hunch is it’ll eventually come to light.

But I’m a stupid optimist and sadly many of these folks have escaped prosecution in other countries.
