Infowars apologizes for 'Pizzagate' coverage
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 3/24/17 | Daniel Chaitin

Posted on 03/25/2017 9:37:31 AM PDT by ColdOne

Infowars apologized on Friday for its role in perpetuating the "Pizzagate" conspiracy theory that connected a Washington, D.C., pizza restaurant to a child sex ring run by Hillary Clinton.

Talk show host Alex Jones, an avid Trump supporter who runs the site, went on air to read a statement where he personally apologized to James Alefantis, the owner of Comet Ping Pong, which was repeatedly harassed and threatened for its alleged connection to Pizzagate. It was at that restaurant in December that a man from North Carolina walked in and fired a rifle as he looked for evidence supporting the conspiracy theory that there were underground tunnels through which children were trafficked.

According to the neighbors, the walkers, the slow drive bys, the out-of-towners getting a picture of the place all standing in front, people coming in wanting to buy just an imprinted pizza box to prove they were there. The typical 6 teenage boys who would buy one small cheese pie and soda, then sit at a table all night watching who was coming in. The trash left in the streets, the older kids sneaking up to do a quick 3:00 AM Horizontal Mambo on the sidewalk in front of the place... and more,

“There were pictures that were on the net. They were deleted soon after I saw them. They were troubling.”

Plenty of those Pizzagate pictures are still out on the net. “troubling” doesn’t equal crime. If it was, a whole lot of Hollywood movie producers could be jailed. Which while it would be satisfying, would violate free speech just a bit.

“If you read the actual wiki leaks you’d understand there is something very wrong going on.”

I read the whole long thread on reddit months ago. That’s when I became aware that no one was ever producing a victim in all of this mess. No one has ever claimed to have been a victim, no one has claimed their child was a victim, and there’s no evidence that a crime was ever committed. Just a lot of bad art.

“Strange folks here are calling it ‘conspiracy theory’ when we know a former Speaker of the House and Republican leader went to jail over child sex abuse. “

What’s strange are those unable to see that in the case of Dennis Hastert there were actual victims reporting an actual crime. And Hastert’s paying blackmail to keep it hidden.

In Pizzagate there is:

1) No victim reporting a crime

2) No evidence that a crime was ever committed.

Produce a victim reporting a crime or evidence of an actual crime and then Pizzagate becomes something more than the hysteria and conspiracy mongering that it’s been so far.

” Alefantis deleted his Instagram. He had sexualized pics of children and bestiality.”

Such pictures are themselves illegal. All that it would have taken to prosecute Alefantis is for someone to have copied the pics and taken them to a prosecutor. You’re asking us to believe that no one bothered to do so.

There’s a lot of law enforcement whose sole job is to hunt down pictures like this even when it’s hiding on the Dark Net. It’s not credible that they all would miss a high profile character like Alefantis whose photos are on the worldwide web. Deleting them from his Instagram account wouldn’t make them disappear. People learn that to their dismay all the time.

“Did you know that Alefantis had a partner in the business? Who abruptly quit?”

Yes. She was and is still is a prominent chef. They had a restaurant together for several years and then she went out on her own to do her own menu. Chefs do such things all the time. She gave an interview about it when she left, maybe you missed it.

“with people who have no interest in the truth of the matter.”

Well since you want to go that route I’ll point out that the description fits you.

I’m pretty sure Anons from 4Chan and InfinityChan archived everything before he deleted it. Nevertheless I’m not sure there was hard evidence to arrest him based on the disturbing pics as they were not illegal per se but distgustingly suggestive.

I also recall when that tiny little twerp tweeted a taunt at Assange and the response from Wiki was also suggestive of Podesta being a sick bastard. Not as direct as Breitbart’s tweet but clever nonetheless.

I just ran across this video about Jone’s apology to LovesInfants (while looking for “Neutered Noel”), and the narrator said he’s very interested in Pizzagate now.

I just looked at “Neutered Noel” (it’s a disturbing video about some masked person reading a Christmas story to some masked kids about Neutered Noel, who is described as masturbating). It’s very short: apparently, a promotional video for their next album. What’s most bizarre is in one of the images they use is a baby in a pizza outfit. Look it up. You’ll find lots of Pizzagate videos, too, since they’re totally related now.

The problem is there is no direct connection, no connection at all the establishes that the itself band posted those videos.

The problem of this entire Pizzagate BS from the start is that there were never any victims, never any underground rooms and torture tunnels, no children being sold, tortures, kidnapped, (especially the little girl kidnapped in Portugal), no importing 60,000 children for sexual abuse, no every triangle and butterfly is a symbol of child abuse, simply put, with the possibly Podestas’ bad tastes in art and the fact they held a Hillary fundraiser there, there was never anything

It was never anything more than one sick internet poster after another, all adding more what they knew were complete lies, so they could be the top of the BS excrement pile, at least for a few minutes, until someone else posted something more ludicrous.

Frankly, I don’t know which is worse, the sickos posting it so they could get into child porn without “getting their hands dirty”, or the sicko fools who so very much want to believe it.

You are completely right, but there are so many sickos who want so much to believe it. They want it to be true.

I looked, but they don’t have a website (Google didn’t return one), but they’ve got a Facebook page, and that video is on it.
https://www.facebook.com/Apes-14708453459/
They don’t post a lot. First two posts are from January 2017 and, then, November 12, 2016.
As for the rest of your claptrap, I never said Alefantis was running a Satanic child kidnapping ring (or otherwise), but he sure posts weird stuff, like him holding a very young boy child, with the word “Chickenlover.”

To add another point, parents or family members would never refer to a very young child by stating he was sexually attracted to the child, which is what Chicken Lover means. Alefantis did. In what areas of your,life is it okay for you to make “child is a sex slave” jokes? Maybe with the woman who sang at their club, saying’ “he likes boys and girls....we all have our preferences.” Their preference calls out my preference to get those children away from him. If he’s innocent, in a year he’s clear. No big frigging deal. When I have to take my kid to ballet, it takes timeout of my day, but the afterpart makes it all worth it.

The “no real Scotsman” argument.

There’s a list of dishonest debate tactics online.

The photos were not illegal. His much younger boyfriend French kissing the dog? Turns out it’s a stuffed hyena.

The picture of the baby with its mouth open in an O shape? Sexualized by the comment, #Hotard.

The picture of our toddler boy appearing to reach for the grown man’s buttocks? Sexualized comments are made, but the photo isn’t illegal because the man is wearing a small Speedo.

The picture of the shirtless boys in masks caressing their chests? Taken from a film clip.

His house band singing about pedophilia? Having images of a boy tied down to a table with a bloody backside in their video? Apparently that passes for art.

Does any of that mean that he’s the leader of some pedophile ring that Hillary Clinton runs? No.

It just means that he’s a friend of Tony Podesta (who gave him a penis cake for his birthday.)

It just means that here’s the guy who has the ear of John Podesta.

It just means that this was David Brock’s ex-boyfriend, who until his heart attack spent all his days lying about President Trump and conservatives in general.

This (for m) is just evidence of their character. It’s what they do.

Now stop and think.

1, This band supposedly has been around for years, but the first of the supposed post are after this BS started.

#2, Can you PROVE the band posted that Facebook page, not some sicko 3d party.

#3, and can you, or can anyone PROVE that Alefantis posted those posts you mention, not some sicko scammer like all the rest of the BS info about Pizzagate was posted. I have have plenty of pictures of young children on my lap, my daughter, my grandkids, my nieces and nephews, etc. I assume you might have similar pictures too. Does that make me, or you, a child abuser. If someone photoshops in the word Chickenlover, does that make me, or you child abusurs?

Come to think about it, can anyone, after all these months, point to one think that PROVES Comet Pizza was anything more than the neighborhood pizza and beer joint?
