"Pizzagate" restaurant survives arson attempt and investigators have a suspect
CBS News ^ | January 25, 2019 | Kate Smith

Comet Ping Pong, the Washington, D.C. pizzeria that internet hoaxers made famous as part of the "Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, was the alleged victim of arson on Thursday night, and investigators are searching for a suspect.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) sent out a tweet Friday night with a picture of a "white male, 25 - 30 years old, with blonde hair, mustache and a beard" saying that the man was "wanted for questioning."

According to the Washington Post, an unidentified patron set fire to a curtain in the back of Comet Ping Pong on Thursday evening. The fire was extinguished by staffers and no one was injured. Because investigators found burned matches and a bottle of charcoal lighter fluid, investigators made the "unanimous" decision that the fire was caused by arson, according to the Post's reporting.

Since when does a pizza pub have that kind of money?

Money for what? What do they have that’s out of the ordinary for a restaurant? There’s nothing unusual noted in the story. Somebody tried to torch the place and the fire was caught and put out before it could do any serious damage.

That photo was Podesta's twitter feed on September 25, 2015 in support of the Global Goals organization. Goal #14 was supporting oceans.

Important but overlooked Global Goal: no. 14— we must protect our oceans and life they sustain #SDGs
Explained: Podesta 14 + Fish [Promotional Tweet for UN Global Sustainability Goals]

This was a year before Pizzagate and has nothing to do with pedophile gang signs.

Child abuse (because I do not want to be more descriptive) themed "artwork" at a family friendly restaurant? Now that is sick.

a gunman showed up at Comet Pizza looking for a basement that did not exist.

And fired ONE SHOT right into the hard drive of the computer with all the evidence on it.

Yeah, discredited....

Good luck finding him. Sounds like half of the males in DC, including the bleached hair ones.

“The purpose of the misinformation is simple: make people look gullible and wrong. It worked pretty well when a gunman showed up at Comet Pizza looking for a basement that did not exist. At that point many people discount any other charges against the Podestas.”

It only worked in the minds of the guilty. I don’t call Alafantis going on Megan Kelly’s show and lying about everything an investigation, do you? All this happened under Obama’s watch and I don’t think anyone following it ever thought the bought and paid for police and media were ever going to do anything but a cover up.

“Of course there’s no way to know whether any of the allegations are true or not. And there’s certainly no way to know if my contention is correct. It is partly correct: there is no basement. But it may be that the basement was the misinformation.”

Oh yes there IS a way to know. They could ACTUALLY DO A REAL INVESTIGATION. How do you know there isn’t a basement, there never was an investigation into the pizza place, so that was never proved one way or the other. There’s a basement somewhere. Maybe the basement is in Alafantis’s Pegasus Museum.

Was the computer in the basement?

Probably on the city real estate records. But regardless you would just say those were faked or if there were an investigation that would be a sham. Obviously there are people in the Podesta orbit with sick tastes in art. That much seems to be factual. The rest? I have no idea, but I do know that some of the information is designed to be easily disproved. Easy disproof means the whole story goes up in smoke and the fire behind the smoke is ignored.

There has been more than enough questionable activities with children to prompt an investigation by social services and or other authorities if we were not dealing with corrupt, rich, powerful and connected people.

“I do know that some of the information is designed to be easily disproved. Easy disproof means the whole story goes up in smoke and the fire behind the smoke is ignored.”

Don’t worry, nothing a good independent impartial forensics team can’t get to the bottom of once an investigation actually occurs. That is, unless someone thinks they can burn the place down and destroy some evidence.

Perhaps you haven’t heard that the video by the wine swilling salad munching baby parts merchants of death Planned Parenthood wheeling and dealing employees were found to be lying when they said the film that caught them red handed was doctored. See? Forensics knows.

I am very familiar with the planned parenthood baby parts story. Chris Plante among others keeps me informed. There is no doubt there is other bad stuff that has never been investigated. There is little doubt that there is often a concerted effort to throw smoke from inside ridiculous forums like 4-chan into the mainstream discussion.

I know when I listen to Chris Plante and others like him I am going to get facts, mostly. I know when I read about sources like 4-chan here that it could be 10% 50% or 90% correct and that there is no way to know. I know there are people genuinely digging for facts on the anonymous forums. But those venues make it very easy to insert garbage.

What’s weird is Guy Fieri, who is Mr. FoodNetwork.com with all his shows, had the restaurant on his “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” at least 4 times. Never saw him promoting any other place that much.

Yes, I believe pizzagate, too. Just take a gander at the businesses on that block and who owns them.

No but it's possible some of the horror that happened in it was on the hard drive.

This latest fiasco was probably just another delusional luciferian worshipin his gawd.

I find it hard to believe that the previous assailant fired an “assault rifle”, as it is a machine gun, vastly increasing the chance that somebody would wind up hurt or dead. But “nobody was hurt”, so it was probably just a regular semi-auto, or maybe even a bolt-action, given the gun illiteracy of these journ-o-lists.

Anything is possible. Do you have a source for the claim of shooting the hard drive? The police complaint says there were three shots. All three appear to be fired at a lock on a door.
