“From this insane, fabricated conspiracy theory, we’ve come under constant assault”
Since being featured in a viral fake news story about Hillary Clinton, the owner of a Washington, D.C. pizza restaurant said the threats he and his business have received are “endless.”
A fake story published before the presidential election accused the restaurant, Comet Ping Pong, of being part of a child abuse ring led by Clinton and her campaign chairman, John Podesta, the New York Times reported. The entire story was false.
But in the weeks since the story appeared, restaurant owner James Alefantis has received hundreds of threatening messages and phone calls from people who believed the story to be true.
“From this insane, fabricated conspiracy theory, we’ve come under constant assault,” Alefantis told the Times. “I’ve done nothing for days but try to clean this up and protect my staff and friends from being terrorized.”
The prevalence of fake news on the internet has recently been hotly debated, amid questions about whether the spread of fake news stories might have helped Donald Trump win the presidential election.
Alefantis was a Clinton supporter, but he said he has never met her. The speculation about Comet Ping Pong began when Alefantis appeared in an email to Podesta, discussing a fundraiser for Clinton, the Times reported. Podesta’s email account was hacked and published by WikiLeaks in the months leading up to the election.
The conspiracy theory, dubbed “Pizzagate,” has continued to spread among adamant believers online.
“It’s endless,” Alefantis said.
They must be selling a boatload of pizzas to come to the attention of Fortune. Unless their profit line isn’t coming from pizza pies.
Ha! Sure that’s it.
Here’s the cover art for the song “All the Children” by the band Heavy Breathing who played Comet Pizza - all ages invited:
SFW but disturbing.... to say the least.

“It’s endless,” Alefantis said.
Aww, poor dear.
It must seem endless for the poor little child during forced sex.
Looks, quacks, walks, swims, flies and eats like a duck...
Straw an is the right term.
Also, there are Alex Jones and a David Ickes who try to render it unbelievable and ludicrous, building straw men to knockdown.
WHO are THEY???
Who listed him as that?
Daily Mail also running a ‘fake news’ story today!
That’ll just bring more people out to investigate what it is all about. GASOLINE + FIRE.
I tried to look up the French translation, and got a link that says his name is an anagram of “j’aime les enfants”, or I love infants. I haven’t checked to see if that’s correct.
I’ve seen three MSM articles now “debunking” what the Reddit boys have deemed Pizzagate. I’d be willing to bet the Reddit boys would LOVE for the FBI to interview them. It would force the media to cover the creepy sh*t they found.
See post 28 above and look at the guy’s t-shirt.
A lot of Book TV (CSPAN 2 on weekends) is taped there. Until this pizza thing/business block thing, I figured it was convenient, not to mention pandering to the DC libs.
Most of the books featured at P&P are anti-American agitprop, contrary to reality, or hyper-focused to the exclusion of the historical/cultural/social structure of the book's viewpoint.
I generally move on from the P&P book events without considering watching.
OMG!
Then what does it mean?
Interesting. A writer from Arkansas (Clinton stomping grounds) posted today saying the story was ‘fake news’:
Fortune, NYT, and this guy so far have posted to ‘debunk’ the story.
Close enough of a interpretation to telegraph intent and perversion AND "inside joke" to all his fellow pedos.
This demonic freak MUST be brought to justice. Along with every one of his sick cadre of dungeon perves. I'll bet he and a number of associates leave the country before Jan 20.
I was wrong on the meaning of enfant. It means child, not infant.
Rather disgusting, isn’t it.
The principles are in Panic Node. GOOD. This ain't going away...which is exactly why The MSM mercs are circling the wagon. Expect 'Snopes' to weigh in soon.
Yeah, let the Reddit Boys get interviewed, starting during the week of Jan 20. Would LOVE for the incoming DoJ to be cut loose on this action. Chances are the files are already thick. I hope they aren't shredded or Bleach-Bit before justice prevails.
Pedophilia is a horrible crime and should bring mandatory death penalty if convicted in a court of law.
