Pizzagate: From rumor, to hashtag, to gunfire in D.C.
The Washington Post ^ | December 6, 2016 at 8:34 PM | Marc Fisher, John Woodrow Cox and Peter Hermann

What was finally real was Edgar Welch, driving from North Carolina to Washington to rescue sexually abused children he believed were hidden in mysterious tunnels beneath a neighborhood pizza joint.

What was real was Welch — a father, former firefighter and sometime movie actor who was drawn to dark mysteries he found on the Internet — terrifying customers and workers with his assault rifle as he searched Comet Ping Pong, police said. He found no hidden children, no secret chambers, no evidence of a child sex ring run by the failed Democratic candidate for president of the United States, or by her campaign chief, or by the owner of the pizza place.

What was false were the rumors he had read, stories that crisscrossed the globe about a charming little pizza place that features ping-pong tables in its back room.

The story of Pizzagate is about what is fake and what is real. It’s a tale of a scandal that never was, and of a fear that has spread through channels that did not even exist until recently.

Comet and its owner were featured in a D.C. gay magazine. Brock, his ex-bf, is the head of ‘Correct the Record’ the leftist disinformation group who paid shills millions to troll the internet and Media Matters.

The author was probably in their social circle.

““It’s a tale of a scandal that never was”

The Podestas and their links to child porn and degenerate and violent depictions of children, are already a scandal.

The Post is providing cover — to its shame.”

Once this breaks and the arrests start, I do hope that these “journalists” get charged as accessories or co-conspirators.

They know what’s happening and they know they’re flying top cover for the most sickening activities human minds can imagine.

Sure. It's all just a "rumor."

Why did some articles about the “shooting” appear before the shooting?

It’s completely unsuspicious for the 49th Most Powerful Man in Wash DC to be a unmarried middle-aged pizza-parlor owner...!

NOTHING extra going on behind the scenes, there, nope..!

James Alefantis, owner of Comet Pizza and Comet Ping Pong - the long term sex partner of David Borock (founder of Media Matters), and long term friend of the Podesta borothers (John Podesta was Hillary's campaign manager). They shared many emails using well known pedophile code words, as revealed by Wikileaks.

Police sketches from Madeleine McCann Abduction

Madeleine was abducted about one mile from the home of known pedophile, Sir Clement Freud (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/14/sir-clement-freud-exposed-as-a-paedophile-as-police-urged-to-pro/). Clement Freud was a long time friend of the Podesta brothers. In the wikileaks emails, he invites them to stay at that house in Portugal. The Podestas were also longtime friends of convicted pedophile Jeffery Epstein (who hosted Bill Clinton at least 26 times on his "Lolita Island").

Another of the police sketches from the Madeline McCann kidnapping, looks a lot like Jeffery Epstein's "procuress", Ghislaine Maxwell.

I believe this is a whole lot bigger than Comet Pizza, Clintons and Podestas.

Nightmare fuel.

Keep praying.

"no evidence of a child sex ring run by the failed Democratic candidate for president of the United States"

Did anyone actually claim that? I didn't follow the issue very closely, but my recollection of the various (and competing claims) included the following:

1. Anthony Podesta and/or his brother (John) were involved in pedophilia.

2. The pedophilia might have involved some sort of vaguely-defined "sex trafficking."

3. Anthony Podesta and/or his brother (John) owned works of art that had vaguely pedophilic themes.

4. Many people in their circle were involved in "performance art" involving nude, life-like mannequins, on which were performed symbolic acts of sado-masochism, dismemberment, and necrophilia.

5. The pizza parlor was walled with erotic art.

6. Some people in the group were involved in a practice known as "spirit cooking," an alleged satanic or voodoo ritual.

To me, most of these allegations remain unproven. Item 4 is a virtual certainty, as I have seen undisputed photographs of a banquet at which such "art" was performed. It was a high-end affair, and celebrities were present. Claims that Hillary was directly involved in any of this were rare, if they occurred at all. Am I wrong?

You’re right. This is global and has been around a long long time.

do internet search on Franklin Cover-up Scandal if you want to start down the rabbit hole.

"a charming little pizza place that features ping-pong tables in its back room" they call it.

Comet Ping Pong mural of naked people with severed human heads. Those with the severed heads have some sort of symbolic/ritualistic growths from their heads. Charming in anyone's book.

It does seem like they protest this way too much.

What is the old saying about protesting too much?

Yep. This is what the real media is for. No fake news. Just let the msm tell us what to think.

Kinda reminds me of this.

"severed heads"

A few weeks ago, someone posted photos of a high-end banquet in which the entertainment was "performance art" involving life-like, nude mannequins, ritualized stabbings and dismemberment of the mannequins, and disembodied mannequin heads placed at various intervals in the dining area. I believe some of the attendees were celebrities, and some had ties to this pizza place.

In some cases, the mannequins were so lifelike that I wasn't sure if they were actors or actresses.

The so called reporter says this as though an angry guy with a gun must also be a great investigator.

Jones said in a YouTube video posted on Nov. 4. “Yeah, you heard me right. Hillary Clinton has personally murdered children. ”

Good grief. Jones provides cover for Clinton's real crimes by stating nonsense like this.

Oh, you mean Marina Abramovic, long term friend of the Podestas, who also shared "code word" emails with John Podesta, as revealed by Wikileaks.
