Sarah Huckabee Spreading ‘Pizzagate Nonsense’ W/ Claim About Bin Laden, Press, Says Scarborough
Newsweek ^ | August 2, 2018 | Greg Price

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders lied and spread “Pizzagate nonsense” about the media thwarting the apprehension of Osama bin Laden in the late 1990s, Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough said Thursday.

Scarborough’s comments followed Sanders’s press briefing Wednesday when she reiterated a claim first made by former President George W. Bush and the 9/11 Commission about a 1998 report from The Washington Times. That report mentioned bin Laden used a satellite phone, and Bush claimed bin Laden stopped using it in order to avoid detection from U.S. intelligence.

The claim has been widely panned and proven incorrect as bin Laden’s use of the phone was documented at least two years and several times before 1998.

“But then speaking of fake news, you have Sarah Huckabee Sanders pushing a lie,” Scarborough said. “The fake news about some report on Osama bin Laden and how the press actually stopped American military men and women from catching [bin Laden]. She might as well have said Neil Armstrong never walked on the moon. Just pure conspiracy, ‘Pizzagate’ nonsense.”(continued)

Sounds like fake news trying to say that fake news folks didn’t do something they often claim is their sworn duty to do - even when it ends up aiding and abetting terrorists...

Sorry, anyone who INSTANTLY dismisses the notion of an organized ring of child abusers consisting of wealthy, powerful people after what we’ve seen in the news lately is either stupid or hiding something.

IIRC, Senator Orin Hatch proudly/loudly announced on September 11/12, 2001, that the Intel agencies were tracking bin Laden by his satellite phone, after which the satellite phone went dead.

Senator Shelby also came under criticism about the same timeframe for revealing classified information.

Senators have a difficult time keeping their mouths shut, especially when they are near media microphones/cameras.

The press was able to dispute Obama’s muslim past by padding out the circulated lists with things about Keith Ellison etc to cast doubt on things like Obams’s two muslim daddies, his koran class, his ‘conversion’ to Christianity under the guidence of ‘former’ muslim Jeremiah Wright, his remark that the Islamic call to prayer is the most beautiful sound...

I don't understand this whole Pizzagate thing. There's totally nothing weird or creepy about the Podesta brothers, or spirit cooking, or Jeffrey Epstein, or anything else about our elite overlords; that includes this picture. Nothing weird at all.

On the bed is Anderson Cooper, his mother (Gloria Vanderbilt), and his brother. On the wall behind them is Molech. Totally normal.

Trying to figure out how Bush’s claim about the stoppage of the use of the sat phone by bin Laden is “pizzagate” conspiracy stuff when pizzagate wasn’t even born until over a decade later.

The point is that Americans have been bombarded with conspiracy lies for decades. We all know in our hearts that the FBI, CIA and DOJ would NEVER lie to us.

“On the wall behind them is Molech”

Molech? Umm, Moloch usually isn’t represented with the dove of the Holy Spirit, or Christian crosses, or angels. Looks more like some artist’s take on Christian iconography.

Looks like a sacrifice is taking place. Just good, clean, wholesome, Christian artwork for a child’s room. Probably just an artist’s rendering of the Holy Eucharist. Nothing weird or about it.
