When was the Comet Ping Pong shop established?


2006.

But that doesn’t mean that “ping pong” or for that matter, “comet”, wasn’t used as some sort of code word before that. My guess would be that the pizzagate place was deliberately named to send a signal, rather than the name becoming a code word because of the place. IDK. Just my guess.

Did you notice there was also a twitch with the word “basement?” When he said “Honey, get in the basement!”

Dear FReeQs,

I’ve been thinking a lot about the post-Q world. Maybe we are already in the post-Q world if we never hear from Q again. So maybe more accurately the post-Trump world or the post-Storm world. Maybe one of you clever wordsmiths can come up with a better term.

Anyway, after the Storm, after the arrests of the derps, after the eradication of the DS (or at least forcing them into hiding), we will need to do a lot of work to prevent this from happening again - or cynically at least to delay it for as long as possible.

We need to fix a lot of broken things in this world.

I think we should think about what those things are and how to fix them.

#1 on my list is PRIVACY.
How do we prevent our own goobermint from spying on us? How do we prevent foreign goober mints from spying on us? How do we prevent corporations from spying on us?

Yet how do we also prevent criminals from using privacy as a shield for child trafficking and other horrendous crimes?

More issues in no particular order...

2. 2A rights. How do we stop the goobermint from restricting our rights? What should we be able to own, carry, use? IMO anything the goobermint uses on us - and that includes the cops - should be available to citizens. If the cops are using grenades, then we should have the right to use them. I would also extend this to things like body armor.

One of the most important parts of securing our 2A rights should be the right to carry without needing a license or permit. We also should not need to worry about crossing state lines.

I have not thought much about gun free zones aside from the fact that there should be fewer of them. Should there be any? IDK. We should think about that.

3. Limits on goobermint. One major area where the federal goobermint needs to butt out is education. IDK if local gov should be involved, but I’m absolutely sure the fed gov should not be.

Another area where no gov at any level should be involved is charity. We should take that upon ourselves, by being good neighbors, through our religious organizations.

More areas for goobermint to butt out of: medicine, insurance - medicare, 0vomitcare, and especially medicaid. IDK how to handle those already retired and on medicare. Good topic for discussion.

Social Security. Needs discussion along with medicare discussion. The gov should not be our nanny and should not be responsible for supporting us in our old age. (If they didn’t confiscate so much of our paychecks, most of us would not need Social Security.) IMO it’s just another money laundering scam that is now bankrupt.

4. Fewer lawyers in Congress. Having lawyers in charge of making laws is like having doctors in charge of making diseases. I have to admit I’m against a law preventing lawyers from being in Congress just like I’m against a law preventing old people from elected office. Perhaps this one will sort itself out if we have honest elections.

5. Which brings me to honest elections. Transparency. One day voting in person with ID on paper ballots. VERY FEW exceptions. (Mail in for military, etc.)

6. Back to Congress... How can a bunch of lawyers (or any 535 people) possibly know enough about medicine, the environment, agriculture, education, technology, ... you name it .... to pass intelligent laws that we all must obey? Should they really be passing laws about all these things? And if not them, then who? I don’t have an answer or even a suggestion. Just a question.

6.a. Kind of related: How can they pass bills that are thousands of pages that no one reads? Should not happen.

6.b. Kind of related to 6.a. How can citizens be expected to follow the law when there are so many of them and they are so complex?

7. The “justice” system. It’s a train wreck. How do we fix it? How do we prevent judges who rule based on politics, bribery, blackmail? And similar to Congress, how can a judge rule on things he/she doesn’t understand?

8. IRS / the Fed / Income tax. Get rid of them all.

9. Property taxes. When someone buys a home, and in some places a car, a boat, or other large purchase, he has to pay a yearly tax just to keep what he has already paid for. This is extortion by the goobermint.

10. Term limits. Maybe this would also take care of itself with honest elections, but it seems like a good idea. It seems like a bad idea for holding political office to be a career.

I’ve left a few things off this list, but I think those I’ve listed are a good start. Feel free to add to the list or suggest ideas on how to fix these things.
