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.

Yeah, the nasty debunkers ask you to produce evidence to back your claims.

That’s so terribly unfair!!

At least to you. Alex Jones was able to admit that that he had been duped by people he trusted who had no evidence to back up their conspiracy theory. Credit to Jones for admitting his error. He will do his credibility a world of good if he learns to ask for proof earlier than he has done in the past.

“Why would you believe I would have any idea of who abducted the missing children?”

Because you claimed to know that in post #191.

You’re the one who said that there is a connection between those missing children and Pizzagate.

I’m just asking you to tell us which of those missing children is associated with Pizzagate in any fashion.

So that we can see what you think constitutes a connection to Pizzagate, or if you are trying to pass off any missing kid anywhere as being proof of Pizzagate when there is no conceivable connection.

And you think that that process will eliminate your pictures out on the internet?

How quaint. A little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing. Especially to someone who thinks that ‘deleting’ like that will hide their tracks

I imagine that Hillary believed the same sort of thing when she thought that trashing her server’s hard drive would solve her problem, and physically destroying a drive is a lot more serious than what you’ve linked to.

Personally I’ve never believed or stated that sex abuse of children took place at Comet Ping Pong. However they do have drag shows and performances from a pedophile-friendly band and advertise them as appropriate for all ages.

That sounds accurate to me.

Alefantis is homosexual. Gays tend to be indulgent of sexual practices that are way out of the mainstream even if they aren’t practicing a particular one themselves. You’ll see NAMBLA in gay parades for instance. The majority of the population consider NAMBLA to be criminal but they aren’t considered beyond the pale by gays- and because of that the homosexual community invites suspicion. They have themselves to blame for that state of affairs.

I know that I saw “bondage” photos of toddlers attributed to Alefantis or Comet Pizza- but it’s as likely that these were considered amusing, as of their being evil, absent any proof of pedophilia- and we have had months for something to surface and nothing has.

We have had too many people asserting rumor and speculation as fact, and if you don’t spend considerable time chasing down the sources you wouldn’t know that it’s like chasing smoke and fog when you try to pin down something that amounts to evidence of a crime in all of this. If any of these people are found to have been involved in pedophilia it won’t be due to anything we know now. We need to make sure that our accusations are just and not mob mentality gossip.

And what happened to Hillary?

My rule is don’t put anything online you don’t want the world to see.

Have you read the emails?

You can choose to believe it is about cheese and pizza.

I work in social media, so I caught it when it first started being talked about, when it was Spirit Cooking from Podesta’s emails.

I was also spending time looking through the Podesta emails, so just happened to be at the right place at the right time and saw the Alefantis IG feed before he took it private. I think I saw it for two days running before someone tipped him off.

The little girl taped down to the table, I think he thought it was funny. But if a black person had done that and put it on Facebook, they’d be in jail.

Anyway, to sum up, lots and lots of very inappropriate stuff, but nothing that was illegal.

What was the name of the show, what station was it broadcasted on, and what time was it broadcast?

“so I caught it when it first started being talked about, when it was Spirit Cooking from Podesta’s emails”

That’s about the time that I went over to reddit to see what they had, when the Spirit Cooking pictures first surfaced.

“The little girl taped down to the table, I think he thought it was funny.”

That’s my impression. If there was something sinister to it someone knowing the girl has had plenty of time to speak up. A pedophile would have material that is explicit and lots of it, it’s what they do. This picture is suggestive or inappropriate at most. Not proof of criminal behavior.

Interestingly enough, that family moved about as far away from DC as you can get, to the Pacific Northwest.

I’ve read loads of the emails. And not being a mind reader I’m not going to try to guess which of the scores of emails has you all excited.

So stop being coy and link to a letter that you think is proof of pedophile behavior. And I’d suggest that linking to a neo-Nazi site like The Daily Stormer in your post above is not your best idea.

“You can choose to believe it is about cheese and pizza.”

Feel free to tell us the name of one alleged victim.

‘Correlation does not imply causation’ and there’s no reason to think that the family’s move was an attempt to flee DC.

People move all the time. Especially to and from DC. I did so twice in my youth. A move from DC to the PNW suggests to me a Navy family changing assignments.

He’s not in the Navy.

They seem to still be friends with Alefantis. They sent him a picture of their baby with her legs wide open and Alefantis put it in Instagram and captioned it, “Daddy likes butt.”

Truly weird people.

Alex Jones is wrong. #PizzaGate is real.

Don’t make me get the photos out.

Alefantis keeps stoking the fire with stunts like that. Makes you wonder if he does it to taunt the people who suspect him or whether he’s simply a fool.

I saw that picture. It was sick.

You think it was okay that the little girl didn’t speak up?

then you are sick.

I’ll give you a pass on that insult because you are obviously a dimwit living in the logic-optional world. Now buzz off and let the adults have their discussion.

Sorry kiddo.

I have seniority on you here at FR.

Pedophilia apologists have no place here on this site.
