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

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.

Infowars outed themselves when they reported Chicago Police Homan Square facility was a torture center. No different than the rest of the fake news outlets.

Ive been reading a lot of Scott Adams over the last several months and I wonder if this won’t result in planting the word “Pizzagate” in the minds of those who would not have heard it otherwise. Libtard media will cover this apology without having covered the reason for it. People will ask themselves, “What on earth is Pizzagate?”

Well it’s not all “conspiracy theory” because there is an FBI document that specifically lists the terms [ that were found in the Podesta e-mails ] that traffickers use in relation to child trafficking. The leaked e-mails were authenticated & released by Wikileaks so there is definitely something there, but whether Comet Ping Pong has anything to do with ant of this is an entirely separate matter. That’s what Jones was apologizing for.

So you don’t think there’s anything to Laura Silsby, the pedo triangles, and the suggestive child Instagrams?

“If there is something there, it will come out in time, and through reputable sources, backed up with proof.”........

More than likely, there IS a story behind those allegationsbut the pizza joint got dragged into it by error. Personally, I hope someone will follow up further and eventually bring it to closure, if possible.

It’s enough for me that David Brock’s ex-boyfriend was caught with sexualized images of children on his Instagram and the media covered it up for him.

That’s what Pizzagate is to me.

AJ has lawyered up, that’s all it says to me. Read recently but can’t remember where, that voat, reddit and 4chan and maybe others are in the bullseye, twitter is being censored and so is youtube, accelerating fast.

Actually, the nexus of intelligence is separating the possibly real from the idiotic.

Some people “enjoy” these type stories, and even worse, in many cases involving sexual issues, those promoting the rumors are either trying to internally self-normalize their own conduct or desires, or simply get their jollies from talking about it.

Over the years, some of the most “Christian, God-fearing family friendly” people you would could ever imagine would come running to our firm trying to quash some scandal they had been caught up in.

It would always start with “I need your legal help to quash these lying rumors” then a few days later it would change to “I need your help to quash something I somehow got pulled into,” then a short time later, “I need your help to quash thing thing because if someone digs deep enough, they’ll find that I was really at the bottom of all this/my “fingerprints” are all over this/When it started, I never knew how big and problematic it would become...”

or in one case, “Someone is going to find the body!”

In my opinion, most Pizzagate conjectures I have seen are unsubstantiated speculation based on circumstantial ‘evidence’ that may or may not have ever existed.

She wasn’t the kids grandmother. They are the children of her ex-husband.

She said the kids would be there and in the pool “for your entertainment.” And she had a blog that carried the tagline, “Evie (the baby), raw and uncut.”

So make of that what you will.

I can’t get past the same actor playing two different roles at Sandy Hook.

Excellent Response. Its also demeaning and crazy IMO to blame the government, or similar entities including as some have postulated, Israel who were responsible for the buildings coming down. Plenty of research has been done to prove pretty conclusively what happened on 9/11. Its a disservice to Free Republic to peddle these insane conspiracy theories.

"Absent facts...

I happened to see the entire Alefantis Instagram feed before he took it private.

I don't have an opinion about all the child trafficking stuff with Hillary and her friend Laura Silsby, but the sexualized pics of kids and bestiality on the JA Instagram were real.
