PIZZAGATE PEDOGATE A No-nonsense Fact-filled Reader Ace of Swords, Et. AL Pizzagate / Pedogate A No-nonsense Fact-filled reader Preface I therefore determine that serious human rights abuse and corruption around the world constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat. —Trump Executive Order 13818, Dec. 20, 2017 Pizzagate means many things to many people, the angle of the lens may be different, but the focus zeros in on a common body of incontestable facts. The fruit of top researchers collected in this reader allows you to compare, correlate and derive a flexible synthesis to suit your needs. An era of wild contradiction is upon us in the press. The psychopathic rumblings that pass for political discourse bring the artform of infotainment to a golden blossoming. A bookstore display table featuring The Fixers; The Bottom-Feeders, Crooked Lawyers, Gossipmongers, and Porn Stars Who Created the 45th President versus Witch Hunt; The Story of the Greatest Mass Delusion in American Political History are both talking about the same man, someone who paid for his campaign out of his own pocket. There were no big donors from China and the traditional bank of puppeteers. This created a HUGE problem, one whose solution threatened the money holders and influence peddlers. New leadership and a presidential order that threw down the gauntlet, a state of emergency, seeded the storm clouds. The starting gun was fired, all systems were go, the race had begun. EISAs and covert operations sprang into action. The envelopes are being delivered, the career decisions are being made, should I move on or stay the course. The Cuban cells and enlargements are underway complete with hospital facilities. The new judges are being appointed. This time the assassination attempts have failed. The finger-pointing and name-calling continues to obscure the the real events. The show must go on and the Ringmaster is astute and resolute, failure is not an option. The storm is brewing. We are told to “Trust the Plan” and so it is. The seams are slowly coming undone, the truths and secrets are being resorted. People on the inside are coming outside with courageous tongues. Researchers scrub the web for clues. What will we come to know and when? Many are hearing a new mysterious voice, Qanon: “Never interfere with an enemy while he’s in the process of destroying himself.” “Those who were once protected are no longer. Timing is EVERYTHING. Hunters become PREY." "Q." And so it is, day by day, case by case, docket by docket, the dominoes fall, overt and covert, thousands of indictments, thousands more freed from slavery. The media screams, fewer and fewer listen, fate is sealed in a new uncomfortable way. As the trickle grows, the cries echo louder and louder until one by one they are swallowed. Lives are at stake. Treason is a capital offense. The goats are lining up at the gallows, unable to view the Looking Glass. And so the secrets of the dark controllers are coming to see the naked light of day and that is what Pizzagate/PedoGate signals, here and abroad. The time worn systems of control crumble puppet by puppet. Many thanks to the many hard workers who are sharing their insights gleaned from countless hours, deep digging, and a shared bipartisan determination, a relentless search for the roots of truth. The silent war, the busy jury rooms, the sealing and unsealing, day by day. "Where do roads lead? ... Pure EVIL.

Foreword When WikiLeaks released emails from John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign chairman, Trumpists and conservatives had high hopes for the bombshells they might contain. Journalists digging through them didn’t find anything particularly incriminating. But meanwhile, online sleuths on the fringes of the web did find something rather strange: despite the fact that most of the thousands of emails were perfectly comprehensible and rather mundane, the self-styled researchers began discovering emails that were impossible to comprehend. With references to cheese pizza and other curiosities, they contained bizarre syntax and seemed to hint at hidden meanings. Following the online conversations surrounding the email release was a pseudonymous blogger known as Ace of Swords, writing for a little-known opinion blog called Aceloewgold. Sensing that the controversy around the mysterious language in the Podesta emails would go viral, “Ace” began following the conversations on obscure message boards and conservative forums. Chronicling what the sleuths discovered, the phenomenon known as “Pizzagate” would soon explode. The drama culminated in a stunning climax wherein a real-life gunman opened fire at a Washington, D.C. pizza joint. Some will find Ace’s findings compelling and others will find them absurd. But as a result of discovering Pizzagate at its origin, Aceloewgold managed to become one of the few blogs or news outlets that were able to report comprehensively on it in real-time, starting at the very beginning. Since it was published, numerous resources cited in the original series have been taken off the web. This book presents, with minimal additional commentary or edits, Ace of Swords’ reporting and opinions of what would become the most bizarre story of the century. Pulled from the multi-article series on Aceloewgold, this is the complete story of Pizzagate. For this second edition, I have corrected some now-debunked fake news about a faux- dental chair that was reported to have existed in child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s Palm Beach, Florida mansion. This was a false claim misreported by news outlets covering Epstein’s first arrest, and was repeated by popular pundits and in Pizzagate coverage on Aceloewgold. Now that the claim has been debunked, the detail has been corrected both online and in this edition of the book. Part I: The Origins of Pizzagate Chapter 1: The Pizza-Related Handkerchief Some may have noticed the hashtag #Pizzagate around the Internet lately, and aren’t sure what it’s all about. So, what is #Pizzagate? In the post that follows I will provide a #Pizzagate summary to explain the movement’s origin, outline which of its claims have been confirmed as verifiable facts, and offer my own conclusion as to whether or not you should be paying closer attention. Quite a bit of context and explanation is required to do an explanation of the “#Pizzagate” phenomenon justice. Also, a disclaimer: In addition to being difficult to digest, much of the research into #Pizzagate was originally being conducted by web sleuths who supported Donald Trump for president. I only mention that because those with anti-Trump sentiments seem especially at risk for a knee-jerk rejection of the theories involved. However, keep in consideration that information gleaned by someone with a pro-Trump viewpoint does not necessarily invalidate the significance of the facts and connections uncovered. Forget their voting habits and other assumptions you may have about them for a moment, and just consider the following with an open mind so you’re equipped to judge it on its own merits. The work of the researchers reflects a recognition that similar scandals have happened on both sides of the political aisle, and are completely bipartisan. First, we have to establish some necessary background. WikiLeaks published emails from Hillary Clinton’s private email server, along with a huge series of email dumps from 2016 presidential campaign chairman John Podesta’s account. Podesta isn’t just a Clinton campaign chairman, however. He’s a long-time political operative rated as one of Washington’s most influential people. Unsurprisingly, the majority of the contents from emails associated with the two leaks are mundane. But web sleuths on Reddit and 4Chan, two discussion board websites, found something strange buried within the email dumps: nonsensical references to pizza. For a bit of context, Reddit is more “mainstream,” so to speak, while 4Chan is rather infamous for its reputation for being a stronghold for, among other things, the sharing of depraved and illegal content. Further digging into the emails found similarly strange references to pasta, along with some other words peppered strangely into nonsensical sentence constructions. Regardless of what they actually mean, the explanation that makes the most logical sense to many who have read the messages is this: they’re speaking in code. About what, we can’t be certain. But read the messages in question below to see for yourself. In perhaps the strangest of the emails *^ suspected of containing code words, Podesta and another party are discussing a “handkerchief” he left at a house rented for a private event of some kind: Re: Did you leave a handkerchief From:john.podesta@gmail.com To: ses@sandlerfoundation.org Date: 2014-09-04 02:28 Subject: Re: Did you leave a handkerchief It’s mine, but not worth worrying about.

However, he attaches a post script: “Ps. Do you think I’ll do better playing dominos on cheese than on pasta?” It’s indeed rather hard to make sense of his post script. Chapter 2: STRATFOR Shares a Single Slice Upon further digging in other WikiLeaks email dumps, sleuths found more nonsensical pizza references. This email l^ came from a leak including communications from within Stratfor, an American intelligence company that serves a secret list of clients ranging from governmental agencies to Fortune 500 companies. In the email, a Stratfor employee discusses some kind of event where a single slice of pizza will be shared amongst a variety of people—odd, to say the least (odd part italicized). It also mentions the colors “black and white,” which were the colors of the pizza-related handkerchief from the Podesta email in chapter one: -Original Message- From; Robin Blackburn [mailto;blackburn@stratfor.com] Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2007 9:42 AM To: Chris Douglas Cc: stratforaustin@stratfor,com Subject: Re: headcount for pizza Does the pizza offer include those of us who can’t make the meeting because we’re out here editing? ‘Cos if so, count me in.This e-mail is color-coded in black and white and will combust in 30 seconds. Chris Douglas wrote: > Headcount! > > Who all is in the Austin office today who is going to want pizza? We > only have one slice and we need to know how thinly to slice it... > > Simply send a single response, filed, color-coded, double-sided and > appropriately labeled, signed in triplicate and set on fire. There are plenty of references to food in the Podesta and other email leaks that don’t appear so cryptic, contain normal syntax, and are easily comprehensible, but others, like the above, seem to clearly contain code words of some kind. Now, we’ll move on to the seemingly unbelievable explanation for the code. Chapter 3: Cheese Pizza —A Code for What? Remember how I mentioned 4Chan having a blemish on its history for being a platform where illegal depravity was being shared? Well, according to longtime 4Channers, the strangely- worded messages were chock full of very well-established early Internet and “Dark Web” l^ code words for child porn, pedophilia, and BDSM. Here’s how they break it down: Handkerchief: BDSM code, different colors have different meanings !^ but black indicates sadomasochism in some circles (variable depending on community) Pillows: Drugs (variable) Cheese Pizza: Child pornography Cheese: Child Pasta: Boy Hot Dog: Boy Dominos: BDSM domination Chicken: Young boy For one example, here’s a screen grab from an advert on the deep web where someone is selling child pornography as “Cheese Pizza”: Thr«*d 24S23b7e96-U ^-31TU>:4Mario <»tdrkcpboqi438321623?«^»b.

So the idea that 2016 Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta is part of a powerful crew of global-level pedophiles, and that they’re discussing it in their emails, is utterly outrageous— right? It may seem so at first glance, but the more you dig, the more the utterly bizarre connections and coincidences pile up. Bear with us, as some news outlets are already accusing “alt-right conspiracy theorists” !^ and “white nationalists” (an absurd claim, not provable by either side, and also an easy way to deflect attackers without addressing their claims directly) for #Pizzagate making something out of nothing. But a measured study of what has been discovered provides more than enough for any objective observer to at least raise an eyebrow. Also note that since the independent investigation began, there has been active suppression of research on Reddit, 4Chan, and Twitter via mass post deletions and DDoS attacks, while “skeptical” articles deriding the theories and completely unrelated content have begun appearing, pushing search results pertaining to the actual #Pizzagate research further and further down in search results. In addition, as a sidebar to the apparent outrageousness of the overall topic, there have been decades’ worth of documentaries and scattered reports l^about pedophilia and ritual abuse in elite circles .!^ Corey Feldman. Elijah Wood, et. al *^ discussing it in Hollywood .lhll the “ Boy’s Town ”im allegations in Nebraska outlined in the documentary Conspiracy of Silence .lf^ a Jerry Sandusky victim claiming Sandusky was only part of a much larger pedophile ring .U^ rampant human trafficking and sex slavery in U.S. ally Saudi Arabia H^ through embassies and diplomatic centers in the US. H^ a cover-up acknowledged in the mainstream media regarding widespread pedophilia in the British Parliament .lJ^ tabloid allegations British serial rapist Jimmy Savile was part of a larger Satanic child sex ring U^. US soldiers told to ignore violent pedophilia B^ in the Afghani military ranks even when it occurred on US military bases, high- level Pentagon staffers lf^ caught buying child pom and the investigation seemingly swept under the rug, global-level pedophilia cover-ups l^ from within the Catholic church. l^ an alleged pedophilia ring going all the way to the top of UNICEF (also known as the United Nations Children’s Fundf l^. . .the list goes on and on. Given that context, it seems reasonable to keep an open mind that some of these cases of VIP pedophile rings l^ might be connected. Chapter 4: “Toddlers and Infants Spread Throughout the House” On to more emails. This next email feels pretty normal, until the cryptic final sentence ^^ of a particular paragraph (italicized for easy viewing). In it, Pew Charitable Trusts Senior Vice President Tamera Luzzatto makes an odd statement that a toddler was “rubbing my nose at 5:45....” While not explicit, it is odd, and the excessive dots for the ellipses seem to imply some kind of hidden meaning or in-joke. And in the wider pattern of strangeness that I contend exists, a nefarious meaning starts to feel even more plausible: Fwd: Dupuytren’s Advance Info for John Podesta From;Luzzatto@aol.coni To: podesta@ici.org, john.podesta@gmail.coni Date: 2009-12-20 16:06 Subject: Fwd: Dupuytren’s Advance Info for John Podesta Hoping this gets to you from my close friend and fellow-hand-sufferer, Patrick Schmidt. We had a Luzzattopalooza yesterday, with Marisa-Paul-10 month Evie staying with us already while their house gets painted, and Ben-Alex sledding their 3 over to “help” us decorate the tree. When the parents got back to retrieve children, they threw in the towel (and about 19 pieces of winter clothing) to stay for tortellini and an overnight. So, 6 grownups with 2 toddlers and 2 infants spread throughout the house, and sure enough one of those toddlers was rubbing my nose at 5:45 . This next one from Luzzatto describes three children as being present at a party “for entertainment. ” 1^ There are conceivable contexts where this could be innocent—maybe these particular youngsters are famous for brightening parties with their cutesy hijinks—but stick around, as there will be more to consider later.

And according to the documentary An Open Secret, Clinton Global Initiative member and former child actor Brock Pierce led Hollywood parties which would turn after hours into late-night “pool parties” where youngsters were abused as part of a pedo ring. But that’s only where the pedophilia links to people in the Clinton camp begin. Cue Laura Silsby. Chapter 5: Who is Laura Silsby? Laura Silsby. Baptist missionary .J^ was the head of an organization called the New Life Children’s Refuge. She had plans to open an orphanage in the Dominican Republic, but the government in the DR said no applications were ever submitted. Furthermore, her organization was never registered as an adoption agency or a non-profit charity. Despite her organization lacking any of the required registrations to make it legitimate, in the wake of the Haitian earthquake several years back, Silsby and her group attempted to bring 40 Haitian children out of the country and was stopped at the border. She was warned that she would be arrested if she continued attempting to do so. Apparently undeterred, she made another attempt. This time she had 33 children she was trying to traffic out of the country illegally, and was arrested. In Clinton emails from the WikiLeaks, Silsby’s process for finding these orphans is described as—fundamentally— driving around in a bus and taking children off of the street l^ who appeared to be orphans, a classification for which they presented no evidence for to authorities. Indeed, it was discovered that none of these 33 children were orphans at all and had families. Their parents were told the children would be educated and sheltered, and that parents and relatives would be able to visit them, even going so far as to claim that parents would get to stay in seaside villas during visitation periods. So not only did they lie, but lied quite elaborately in order to get the parents to hand over their kids. Adding even more highly disturbing fuel to the Silsby fire is the fact that a lawyer allegedly materialized, offering bribes to officials to release Silsby and her cohorts out of jail. After that failed, Silsby’s primary lawyer in the case was a man named Jorge Anibal Torres Puello. Bizarrely, Torres Puello was accused of leading a human trafficking ring in the Dominican Republic !^ that allegedly posted pornographic images of underage girls on the web and sold them into forced prostitution. While Torres Puello claimed to be part of a large law firm with 45 members, investigations revealed a modest office l^ that could not possibly support anywhere near that many staff members. An attorney for one of the faux-orphan’s families claimed Torres Puello also lied about holding a law license in the state of Florida, a claim Torres Puello denied ever making. Hacked Clinton emails show a history of interest in Silsby l^ and her work, and the Clinton Foundation was active in Hatian orphan rescue operations after the earthquake there. And guess who swept in to help get Silsby off the hook? l^ It was none other than Hillary Clinton herself. Why did Silsby pretend that these kids were orphans when they had families? Why did she spin elaborate, brazen lies to the families to conceal the fact that the kids were actually going to be leaving forever, never to be seen by their families again? Why was Silsby, suspicious enough on her own to raise concern, being advised by an accused child sex trafficker? Lastly, why did Clinton take an interest in her unarguably sketchy legal case, and dedicate time and resources to reducing her charges? After being cleared of her legal troubles, Silsby became associated with the company that provides the technology for the Amber Alert system—the infrastructure used to alert the American public about children who have recently gone missing. In an interesting recent twist, a woman named Monica Petersen, who had spent years researching human trafficking in Haiti, was recently found dead. Her friends and family are being kept in the dark regarding the circumstances of her death. According to one of her friends, she had uncovered a Clinton connection regarding the child trafficking she had been investigating in Haiti: Back to Haiti and Clinton My triend Moni:a Pe:erson reports I've been researching this since yesterday, albeit without the best access to sou'ces/electricity/internet so the hard facts for me are still in progress Nevertheless. I can still crnically read & crosscheck a fair number of facts. Here's what else I've found out Tony Rodham (va VCS Mining) bought Morne Bcssa mine in the north of Haiti in 2012. The Clinton Foundation, alongside USAID, also established the Caracol Industrial Complex in 2012. not far frcm Morne Bossa. Caracol is a garment exporting zone, a field site I visited in August to check out the conditions of the workers (conclusion: wordng conditions okay, working wages too low & below contracts & legal min mum wage in I leiti). Caracol's main buyers are Gap. Target, and wai- mart.. all of which are apparenty linked to the Clintons. So ... family money, not local liveihoods is cHaity .he pieioyative I don't know yet what the connection is between the mine & the Caracol Complex, but they're suspeiousy close geographically It may just be that they were both easy money & nothing more But they were initiated the same year?? Minng was set to commence in 2012 but the Haitian Senate opposed it. President Michel Martelly did not. but has been unable to make progress in the I laitian Mining Conventions & laws in order for VCS Mining to move ahead, as they had hoped for before Vlartelty left office Magically 4 months before the elections last summer, a hand-picked Martelly successo' appeared to take over as President. There Is no social or envtontiienlal rnpact asbebstiitnl to Jale and buch a mining project will massively destroy scarce water resources for local farmers, while at the same time, literally, flattening the entire mountair the mine sits on Several articles have pointed out that the rrining activity at Morne Bossa ove" the last tvw decades oddly corresponds to tne first & second coups of former President Aristide Haitian min ng laws were revised during both couDS when Arstide was ousted from office.

So the question is, just how many coincidences of this nature would have to be uncovered before those in question would qualify for further scrutiny? And the Haiti mysteries are just one element of this strange puzzle. Chapter 6: The Most Influential Pizza Joint Owner of All Time Also in Hillary’s circle is a pizza joint owner named James Alefantis. Alefantis has been named one of the 50 most powerful people in Washington. D.C. .i^ Let that sink in for a second. This is not some aging former senator who opened a pizza joint as a retirement gig, or a mega¬ lobbyist who plays restaurateur on the side to fulfill some childhood fantasy. This guy is just the owner of a pizza joint, that’s it. And somehow he has leveraged the position to become one of the most powerful players in a city containing perhaps the highest concentration of influence anywhere on earth. Shockingly, even a cursory delve into the details behind his pizza restaurant leave a web of connections to the DC elite along with cryptic references to “gay babies,” children in general, bondage, and murder. All, remember, discovered after self-styled web sleuths combing through WikiLeaks discovered bizarre references to “pizza” in the Podesta emails. Alefantis’ restaurant. Comet Ping Pong, is a divey pizza joint with ping pong tables in the back. It is host to all kinds of democratic party events and fundraisers. Alefantis also happened to be the romantic partner of David Brock, influential head of Correct the Record, an organization that tackles alleged right wing media bias, and a close Clinton confidant. Discovery of the first direct connection between Clinton and Comet Ping Pong emerged when researchers began searching the email leaks for other strange references to “pizza,” and discovered many mentions of Comet Ping Pong hosting everything from Clinton for President fundraisers and Obama campaign phone banks i^ to birthday parties for John Podesta’s brother Tony. Oddly, records also show George Soros-funded PACs donating thousands !^ of dollars to the restaurant, and Alefantis himself visiting the White House on several occasions: open.whitehouse.gov fit c* «At4 vtv'ttm •• Chapter 7: Creepy Instagrams & Artwork Soon after #Pizzagate researchers discovered Alefantis’ Instagram account, it was set to “private” and could no longer be viewed. Thanks to screenshots, however, we can still see the bizarre posts and comments involving incomprehensible references to children, sex, and even murder. Please note—the following images are indeed strange, but are also potentially disturbing, given the context of the child trafficking theory. This first shot is a barren walk-in freezer at Comet Ping Pong. Alefantis, under Instagram handle “jimmycomet,” leaves the strange comments “Oh yeah this looks fun” and “#murder.” One of his friends comments “#killroom.” A third person says “Just rinse it off when you’re done”. If nothing else, there’s clearly some kind of macabre “in-joke” that we’re just not getting: iXt thr iOi ^vryco'Twt Oh too*3 mcctwtJOJ But il't kMt nrw 4 itl M4wr yaii « lawMikMOrink W% juftt • c# monw und« * th» OCX tiefcil moon* When researchers checked health inspection records for the restaurant, they indicated that there was no inspection of any walk-in freezer. Is this freezer at Comet Ping Pong? If so, why wasn’t it inspected? If not, why is a freezer at another restaurant being discussed on the owner’s Instagram? Upon inspecting the Instagram account of the “#killroom” commenter, researchers found it to be full of images of coffee tables he constructs to resemble baby coffins: Another post shows Marina Abramovic, the woman who held the openly Satanic “Spirit Cooking” ritual referenced in emails to Tony Podesta. According to her statement from a 2013 Reddit “Ask Me Anything” event, this ritual is performance art when done publicly. But when performed in private, according to her, “it is not art.” but a ritual l^ that represents something more. Exactly what. I’m not sure, but it involves self-mutilation along with painting Satanic symbols and cryptic sayings on the wall in a mixture of menstrual blood, semen, and breast milk. In this post she is carrying a bundle of sticks, or “faggot,” a term with further meaning according to occult beliefs: © Insto^nom Now many people rationalize that emails to Tony Podesta about Spirit Cooking events are nothing, just some kind of weird art. But according to media images of John Podesta’s office. he only has two pictures hanging on his office walls, and one of them depicts a Spirit Cooking ritual: This tells us that Spirit Cooking, whatever it really is, is something that is very personally significant to John Podesta. Odd, to say the least. What’s more, both Tony and John Podesta’s homes are filled with art. While some of it is normal, as they are both avid collectors of art works, many are known to make many visitors to his house quite uncomfortable—as described in this article .f^ archived from the Washington Post’s website. From photographic works depicting images of nude teenagers to paintings by an artist known for her paintings of abused children in submissive poses and varying stages of undress, their artistic tastes are odd at best, and appear to reflect a strong interest in artists who feature murder, abused children, and adolescent nudity as visual themes: Oh, and remember Dennis Hastert .l^ the former House Speaker exposed as a serial child molester? Emails show l^ that the Podestas are not just longtime friends, but expressed sadness when he was put away, and it has been confirmed that both Tony and John Podesta were with him in Japan during a time when he was serially abusing children. Most people I know would disavow someone after discovering they spent most of their adult life molesting and raping children. For the Podestas, however, it apparently wasn’t a deal breaker. Now back to Alefantis’ Instagram. This next post shows a man holding a toddler, which wouldn’t be so odd if it weren’t for one detail. Alefantis comments “#chickenlovers,” which is inexplicable given the total lack of anything chicken-related in the photo. However, referring back to the known web slang used by pedophiles, “chicken” is slang for “young boy.” Jokingly or not, in the next image, Alefantis and an associate appear to sexualize an infant with a “what what, in the butt” l^ reference: • • AT&T ^ 12.94 AM ••• ATAT T 12:99 AM -r < < Photo < Commsnts limnycomet imraycomet Why do55 Daddy like OU“T?

The next post is a close-up of a baby, with Alefantis commenting “#hotard,” a slang term meaning a girl, or “ho,” who is mentally disabled and slutty. Given the fact that the image shows an infant, at best, this seems extremely inappropriate.

When speaking to the BBC l^ recently about the theories that Comet Ping Pong’s basement is somehow implicated in child trafficking, Alefantis told the reporter that Pizzagate researchers have been unable to get basic facts straight, as Comet Ping Pong has no basement. However, this directly contradicts a claim he made when interviewed for a 2015 article by Metro Weekly. ^ in which he says Comet Ping Pong does indeed have a basement, used to store supplies. This would be normal for a restaurant, but what is abnormal is his self- contradiction about a basic feature of his own eatery: They ignore basic truths " Alotontis tells BBC Trending.

We’re not sure what the meaning of it was, but references to pedophilia have been uncovered in Comet Ping Pong’s musical regulars’ acts. Sex references are no rarity in music these days, but most would agree that pedophilia references takes it to an entirely different level. And with names like “Sex Stains” and “Heavy Breathing,” Comet Ping Pong clearly carries an odd affinity for featuring artistic performers that favor dark and disturbing themes, especially for a kid-friendly pizza and ping pong joint. In an official music video for Sex Stains, a prominently-displayed symbol closely resembles the pedophilia symbol for “Boy Lover:” One song by Heavy Breathing, the lead singer of which calls herself “Majestic Ape,” even includes lyrics referencing orphans: “My recurring role is puppet in the broadway smash Orphans in Assholes. ” Indeed, orphans are a common target for sex traffickers, and are a focus of much of the work being done by the Clinton Foundation in the third world. Does the above qualify as proof? Far from it. But as the coincidences pile up, one must wonder if there is at least some aspect of truth to the allegations. The following video of a performance at Comet Ping Pong isn’t very good, but it’s hard to find any others, as many videos have been set to “private” or removed after the investigation began. Many third-party uploaders have had their own versions removed and their accounts shut down soon after uploading. The video *^ shows “Majestic Ape” doing some kind of monologue. As part of the monologue, she says “Jared (pedophile Subway spokesman) is known to hang out down here. He likes (inaudible), tamales-” After which point an audience member yells out, “And little boys!” And another says, “And children!” Majestic Ape replies, “I think that was his manager.” Audience member: “Noo.” Majestic Ape: (Laughs) “We all have preferences!” (Laughs) A more complete version of the video, without the commentary, was removed from YouTube. It depicted some of the strange art on the walls of Comet Ping Pong, showing adults with their hands around the throat of a female child. These murals have since been scrubbed off Comet Ping Pong’s walls: We previously reported that Comet Ping Pong had a seemingly suspicious “protected” area of its website with an array of password-protected zip files, as shown below: However, one of the researchers has debunked the claim that this is suspicious, as can be seen in this discussion: twi^i MlMliMlMMtetoMiMllaialwMiMM M t« (MaMT N M alMI »itK»fn.i>n tr2«i*••.■. • 3 'Wi MMt r»g*0»» ngi MMCMM MM** r *«> aM I p*«aa« H tM im 4 U IW U IN' ^(9* M <•! to catoQM#* W IMVWM «C «t:afc- P^437*»l4 ^ ^ HtoMn to •» «■ •tom cAaw~ mM* 0 fm1 ■!■***'« 1 The development shows that confirmation bias has not taken over the research— participants are narrowing down aspects that do seem genuinely suspicious or remarkable by discovering that some of the discoveries, after all, are not. In other words, they are fact-checking themselves as they learn and uncover more. Next weTl move onto more pedophilia symbols. Just down the street from Comet Ping Pong is a bistro and art gallery where researchers found pedophile symbols as well, along with boastful associations with Hillary Clinton: Symbol found on Terasol Bistro's website https://archive.is/tplgE LNCLASSIHEO (L') <>l»co aJi*. LovYr." Childlovc Next door to Terasol are offices for Beyond Borders, a charity funded by the Clinton Foundation focusing on ending child exploitation in Haiti—the same country where Hillary Clinton inexplicably swept in to get accused child trafficker Laura Silsby off the hook. Chapter 9: The Epstein Connection Now to discuss another known pedophile with major Clinton connections: Jeffrey Epstein. According to Epstein himself, he was a co-founder of the Clinton Eoundation .l^ Epstein was accused not only of having underage sex slaves, but of being part of an extensive underage sex slave ring, and was convicted of sex crimes involving minors (albeit with the most severe charges dropped, and extremely minor legal consequences as a result). The court case revealed accusers who claimed they were forced to have sex ^^ with everyone from politicians and businessmen to royals and academics. Court papers l^ also claim Epstein’s mansion is outfitted with hidden cameras—in all likelihood, these cameras are meant to capture people of power engaging in sex with minors for purposes of blackmail—and Epstein’s “little black book” seized by authorities contains big-wig names from Tony Blair and Prince Andrew to Michael Bloomberg and even Hollywood star Dustin Hoffman. A highly secretive investor .!^ the precise source of Epstein’s vast riches is a mystery. Bill and Hillary Clinton have taken trips on board Epstein’s private plane, dubbed by the press as the “Lolita Express,” at different times—both to Epstein’s private island and to other locations around the world .l^ In a rare rebuke to the 24/7 security provided to former presidents. Bill Clinton had the Secret Service stay behind for each of these forays. In addition, thanks to a whistleblower, we know that Epstein sent Bill Clinton $3.S million l^ from a Swiss bank account. Eor what, one can only imagine. (Note: Donald Trump has a documented relationship !^ with Epstein as well, lasting up until Epstein’s legal trouble, with one confirmed ride on one of Epstein’s private jets. He is not documented to have visited any of Epstein’s private islands. Bill Clinton claimed to have disavowed Epstein after the legal trouble, but the $3.5 million bank transfer occurred after Epstein’s conviction.) Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of notorious news tycoon Robert Maxwell, is alleged to have been Epstein’s central “Madam.” !^ obtaining underage girls for him and his cohorts to abuse. She is also alleged by one of the teenaged victims to have taken photographs of underage girls, which were posted around Epstein’s property. The court case painted her as Epstein’s “right hand woman.” 1^ central to Epstein’s alleged pedophilia sex ring. Here she is pictured at Chelsea Clinton’s wedding: Another frequent flier on the “Lolita Express” is a mysterious young socialite girl named Rachel Chandler. Here she is pictured with Bill Clinton as a teenager: Chandler’s Tumblr account uses CSS to hide what other accounts were sharing her content and vice-versa, but since this trick doesn’t work on mobile phones, #Pizzagate researchers were able to find other accounts that frequently share her content. These accounts are consistendy macabre. They’re filled with images of BDSM, injuries associated with sadistic sex practices, prescription drugs, images of children in severe distress and/or states of injury, weapons, sexual imagery, and occult symbols. It also contains many images of children receiving dental work, which is beyond bizarre —but could somehow connect to Podesta-connected artist Biljana Djurdjevic, whose alarming paintings are on display in Tony Podesta’s mansion. Djurdjevic also painted a series called The Dentist Society .^ A previous edition of this book repeated fake news from the Daily Mail that investigators discovered a dental chair and dental equipment in Epstein’s Elorida mansion after his first arrest. The chair was actually an esthetician’s station for facials and other beauty procedures. This persistent falsehood continues to be repeated by prominent commentators .*^ Given the other dental connections, the Epstein dental chair was an especially tempting and salacious tidbit for the Pizzagate narrative, leading me to wonder if perhaps the detail was added to coverage as intentional disinformation, meant to discredit conspiracy theorists or even just those who wanted Epstein put away. Eor estheticians and those studying to become estheticians, the fact that the “dental chair” was actually an esthetician’s chair was immediately obvious. The main possibilities are as follows: Maybe the Daily Mail was extremely lazy and making assumptions, or they just knew calling it a dental chair would make their story sound more dramatic. The other possibility is that they lied on purpose, trying to make it harder for anyone to sort out fact from fiction in the wake of Epstein’s arrest. Either way, for this edition of Pizzagate: The Complete Story, references to the non-existent dental chair have been removed. Below are a few examples (out of many dozens) of strange images Rachel and her network of sharers have posted, with images of children modified for privacy (Warning: disturbing, though what I provide here isn’t even the tip of the iceberg in terms of how much of this type of content had been shared): Chapter 10: Someone Fights Back I’ve mentioned a few cases above where Comet Ping Pong-related YouTube and Instagram accounts were set to private, and Reddit threads relating to the investigation were aggressively scrubbed. In addition, people associated with Comet Ping Pong began removing references to their employment there in their Linkedin profiles. Perhaps most interestingly, however, a DDoS (Distributed denial-of-service) attack was launched on 4Chan immediately after the Alefantis Instagram account led researchers to a guy name Arun Rao. DDoS attacks prevent users from accessing websites by overwhelming the servers. #Pizzagate researchers found he was “liking” all of the posts that featured young children, so they looked at his Instagram as well. As soon as 4Chan users began investigating Rao, 4Chan.org began displaying all the signs of a website under DDoS attack. The likelihood of such an attack being unrelated to developments in the investigation is close to zero. So who is fighting back, and what are they trying to bury? Other than being an attorney with the Department of Justice—sometimes involved in prosecuting child pornography cases—there isn’t much to be found on him. Predictably, his Instagram has since been set to private as well. Given the DDoS attacks’ timing with the discovery of his Instagram, he may be worth investigating further. Is interference with the #Pizzagate research evidence that there’s something to the claims? It’s worth mentioning that if the evidence was not truly incriminating, leaving it up would only discredit the investigators by revealing them as paranoid, tinfoil hat-wearing loons, and that scrubbing evidence (as has happened) would only increase suspicion. However, it is feasible that even an innocent party would scrub the supposed evidence to minimize inevitable abuse and threats from trolls drawing their own conclusions from the research. But the DDoS attacks indicate bona fide attempts to shut down the research, indicating there really is something contained there to hide. Add in threads being deleted or archived overnight, social media accounts being shut down or set to private, videos being deleted from YouTube, Linkedin pages being scrubbed or modified, and logos being changed in ways that seem to directly correspond to progress with the research, and one can only conclude that taken together, these all seem incredibly unlikely to be the result of innocent parties hiding from an unfair Internet witch hunt. Chapter 11: Reasonable Conclusions The Clintons and Podestas have quite the number of pedophilia-connected people in their close network. I have one—a now-deceased scoutmaster from childhood who was discovered to have been raping boys. As an adult, I am aware of no one else involved in pedophilia or occult practices. I assume that goes for most readers of this as well. If I doubled the size of my network, and I suspect that the number would still be extremely low. Somehow, the Clintons have managed an extensive network of extremely close associates linked to or even convicted of pedophilia, sex slavery, occult practices, or all three. (Side note: if there is truth to any of the theories, it would be safe to say the issue is not exclusive to the Democrats, who the research is not targeting in particular. It just happens to have been sparked by emails involving the Clinton camp. See Dennis Hastert and the Franklin Scandal for a sampling of accusations on the Republican side.) You often hear the argument that secrets involving this many people would be impossible to hide. If the allegations are even 50% true, however, sustaining total secrecy is actually quite plausible given that the outlandish, almost cliche nature of the allegations makes them difficult to believe even in the presence of compelling evidence. Also, more importantly, the players involved would have the ability to use blackmail to swiftly destroy anyone who stepped out of line. This point is supported by reports that Jeffrey Epstein had hidden cameras in his home meant for exactly this purpose. But perhaps most important is this: So far I’ve only recounted a chunk of the #Pizzagate connections and coincidences involving pedophilia and child trafficking; you’ll find if you check out the research for yourself that vastly more have been discovered than what has been summarized here. Even if the coincidences are this utterly bizarre, or hard to definitively connect, when the sheer number of them defies statistical probability, we have an obligation to at least dig a little deeper to see if clearer conclusions can be gleaned—especially when there are children involved. Cases have been tried on circumstantial evidence before, as long as there was enough of it and it was deemed strong enough. Has enough been discovered to draw a definitive, fully objective conclusion? To be called “proof”? Absolutely not. But for the moment, imagine discovering that a co-worker or a mutual friend had a similarly vast web of unlikely coincidences connecting them, even vaguely, with pedophilia or child trafficking. Would you talk to someone? Would you feel mildly concerned for children they come in contact with, and perhaps watch that person more carefully around them? My guess is that you would, and even though a concrete conclusion can’t be made, I think the same attitude of careful suspicion and ongoing investigation is well-warranted in the case of #Pizzagate. If the old adage holds true that “where there’s smoke, there’s fire,” there seems to be a whole lot of smoke here. A smoke cloud so thick, in fact, that the discovery of fire doesn’t feel too far off. Part 11: Pizzagate Part Deux — The Trouble With Open-Source Research, & The Media Go to War Chapter 1: Pizzagate Goes Viral When I published my initial coverage of Pizzagate in November outlining Pizzagate’s origins and some of its verifiable discoveries, the investigation was just taking off. Since then, things have developed a great deal—and not all for the better. Interest in the research has exploded, causing a noticeable deterioration in the overall quality of posts, leads, and comments in the forum where the bulk of the investigation is now taking place. Sensationalistic claims with no evidence, claims with irrelevant “evidence,” conspiratorial assertions provided without basis, an increase in racist and anti-Semitic posts, and other distracting, irrelevant, or hostile nonsense have been pushing down posts by people who had been uncovering genuinely compelling connections and leads. This is to be expected from the massive increase in participation on a platform that provides an open forum where anyone can contribute. There is fear amongst many researchers that anti-Semitic, racist, or violent posts will be cherry-picked by media outlets to “prove” that the research has been the work of hateful alt-righters, when in fact these represent a very small minority, and are guaranteed to happen on a platform that allows anyone to join and post. As a solution, pockets of serious researchers are discussing alternative closed platforms where they can focus and work, and then post findings on the public forums when something seemingly significant is uncovered. I believe for the research to remain effective, this kind of move will be critical going forward. Chapter 2: The "Fake News" Meme & Silencing Alternative Viewpoints Fears have also been aroused due to the recent gunman incident at Comet Ping Pong. Researchers fear that someone will be physically attacked, and the blame will be placed on them under the guise of the "fake news" meme. Even a cursory examination into the discussions shows a wide and emphatic rejection of violence, anti-Semitism, doxxing, and other forms of hate and harassment. When someone does post something advocating violence or hatred, it is usually followed by strings of replies denouncing that person and their views. However, it wouldn't stop media oudets from reporting on it as if it were widespread. Nor would it stop their readers from believing it, as the average news consumer typically accepts the headlines in front of them at face value without researching more deeply—especially if the information reinforces an existing belief. As I've reported, articles "debunking" Pizzagate have universally made false claims i^ about the theories, such as the lie that researchers have concluded that Comet Ping Pong is the "headquarters" of a pedophile ring "led by Hillary Clinton" for the Democratic party. Debunking articles generally also focus on some of the crazier-sounding theories being floated, while avoiding those that are more difficult to immediately explain away. An example of what has to be intentionally misleading coverage in the New York Times' latest attempted debunking shows a well-circulated photo of Obama playing Ping Pong with a boy in the White House. The photo had resurfaced during the Pizzagate investigation with, since it is the Internet, a number of people making sensationalistic and/or incorrect claims about its "connections" to Pizzagate. By displaying it on a video where the uploader had added the caption "OBAMA AT COMET PING PONG," the New York Times' readers will now assume that this photo had a substantial impact on the conclusions of the researchers: They also cherry-pick research that the researchers themselves have debunked .l^ giving the implication that these debunked aspects form the bulk of the evidence. Other ideas they cite are believed by only a minority of people involved in the research. The main overall thesis of Pizzagate is that pedophilia is extremely widespread and endemic to the global political power structure on all sides of the left/right spectrum, just as Hollywood has been accused of being a hotspot for pedophilic activities as well. Also, as with Hollywood, researchers believe that those involved are using their power to source children and to cover up their crimes. The over-arching argument at this point is that the number of coincidences defies easy explanation and that with this much smoke, there may very well be fire as well. There are many other theories being floated and more radical ideas being explored, but the central argument is simple. This is far from the impression you will get from media outlets denouncing the research. Due to recent news coverage i^ expanding upon the “Russian hackers” meme in a child pornography context, along with a slew of articles misrepresenting Pizzagate, there are two major concerns. One is that the collective consciousness is being set up to deny Pizzagate even in the event of a major research breakthrough. For the other concern, enter H.R. 9393. Chapter 3: H.R. 9393 Xhere is a palpable fear in the air that censorship of alternative news outlets, blogs, and even discussion forums might be underway on the pretense that “fake news hurts real people.” This fits with the “Russian hackers” meme that has been pushed since the Trump/Clinton election season, and in fact times up perfectly with a section added to the 2017 Intelligence Authorization Act, or H.R. 6393 .bi^ a bill that funds intelligences activities. 2017’s bill delegates funding to: “counter active measures by Russia to exert covert influence ... carried out in coordination with, or at the behest of, political leaders or the security services of the Russian Federation and the role of the Russian Federation has been hidden or not acknowledged publicly. ” The section lists forms of possible ‘Russian influence’ as: • Establishment or funding of a front group • Covert broadcasting • Media manipulation • Disinformation and forgeries • Funding agents of influence • Incitement and offensive counterintelligence • Assassinations • Terrorist acts No standard is provided by which intelligence agencies have to prove that Russian influence is involved, calling into question how the law could be abused to stifle free speech. What constitutes “media manipulation,” and how must it be connected to Russia to be prosecutable? Julian Assange denies Russian involvement l^ in recent WikiLeaks releases, a claim corroborated, in the case of a DNC leaks by a UK-based diplomat .l^ Though they could be lying, there has been little evidence ^ presented for the accusation l^ other than claims from anonymous US government sources ^ and a debunked Washington Post article (see footnote 75). Chapter 4: “Fake News Hurts Real People” It should be mentioned that fake news does hurt real people, but when compared to falsehoods pushed by the largest global media outlets .l^ damage caused by alternative media suddenly appears laughably minimal. Repeating claims from anonymous government sources as “facts” is not journalism; it’s effectively no different than being a mouthpiece for the State. Far too often, journalists allow themselves to become parrots for unnamed diplomats, bureaucrats, and cronies, and the result is often deadly. See below for examples when major American and international news media: -Repeated, uncritically, the lie that WMDs were in Iraq, justifying the Iraq War—helping gain public consensus for a conflict that has killed about 70,000 civilians and a quarter of a million people in total. This tragic journalistic failure is reported in detail in former New York Times reporter Michael Massing’s book Now They Tell Us ^ - Lied that Spain sunk the USS Maine .l^ sparking the Spanish-American War, just to sell newspapers -Collectively have (at minimum) hundreds of CIA assets and agents working both as reporters and in management positions, according to Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein in his report The CIA and the Media l - Uncritically repeated claims l^ from a teenager, supported by members of Congress with no verification and who gave only her first name, when she lied that babies in Kuwait were torn from their hospital incubators by Saddam’s henchmen, generating public support for the first Gulf War that generated thousands of deaths. The teenager ended up being the daughter of a diplomat and her lie was concocted by a PR firm hired by Kuwaitis to artificially drum up support for a US invasion -Eagerly publish grisly footage and reports of ISIS beheadings while remaining conspicuously uncritical of US ally Saudi Arabia l^ in comparison, which publicly beheads someone every two or three days, stones people to death for crimes from atheism to adultery, and punishes rape victims -Have been caught feeding debate questions !^ to Presidential candidates before the event and giving veto power to politicians over what to include in articles -Liedl^ to protect legendary pedophile Jimmy Savile -Based their assessment of the veracity of a highly-publicized list of “Fake News” websites almost entirely on the unverified claims of PropOrNot. *^ a newly-formed and anonymous group of unknown people providing no evidence or methodology whatsoever for their conclusions. The Washington Post is now facing a lawsuit for their article .l^ published two days after H.R.6393 was passed. After heavy criticism they issued an Editor’s Note claiming that they did not intend to lend credence to the claims, despite that being the entire premise of the piece -Have been caught faking smaller events that did not result in wars or deaths, but display a blatant disregard for basic journalistic ethics. One recent example is an incident in which ABC news staged a fake “crime scene” !^ by tying yellow Sheriff’s Department tape between two off- camera mic stands, providing a more dramatic backdrop for an otherwise drab interview shot. While CNN reported on this gaffe, they have also been caught doing extremely similar trickery . [791 Photo from the ABC segment below: Faith in traditional media outlets is at an all-time low.

After election Chapter 5: A Gunman Storms Comet Ping Pong Researchers are greatly suspicious of Comet Ping Pong gunman Edgar Maddison Welch, and I believe the suspicion is not entirely without merit. Although many have brought up that he is a small-time film actor, and his IMDB page lists a film Something About Pizza where he is credited as playing “gunman,” IMDB pages can be edited by the public, raising the possibility that a troll could have inserted the information. Either way, his credit has now been removed, so whether it has been removed to hide his participation or because it was false to begin with, we won’t ever know. The IMDB page for the film, before both it and Welch’s IMBD pages were edited to remove references to Welch’s involvement, is below: 5cr.:":r.g/iD(XJt Pcza Full Cast & Clew w o fiM CX! srs: . It#*-—- S««#i • OMI# ‘ • According to his homepage .^ Welch’s father also owns a small film production company called Forever Young Productions, was executive director of a charity focused on child abduction and abuse, and has done work for state and federal law enforcement that included involvement in undercover operations. These tidbits have led to further speculation. Because of the production company and IMDB page, some overzealous bloggers have claimed indisputable proof that Welch is a “crisis actor”—someone hired to participate in staged events. Of course, they are far from being indisputable “proof” of any such thing, but are still very much worth noting. Much more compelling, however, is the fact that the day before the gunman incident, a researcher monitoring Washington, DC traffic cameras on this website *^ posted that they had noticed something odd. A northwest-facing camera pointed toward Comet Ping Pong had been rotated to point in a new direction. Though the front of the pizza parlor is just out of its direct view in the original position, it shows the corner of Connecticut and Nebraska Avenues. The day after the camera was moved to face away from Comet Ping Pong, the gunman incident occurred. This coincidence seems possible, but remarkably, the day after the gunman incident, the camera had been rotated back to its original position. Here is the original angle, with the front of Comet Ping Pong located off-camera to the immediate left: And here is what it displayed when it was rotated what appears to be approximately 90 degrees, the day before the gunman incident, only to be returned back to its original position again the day after: I ranic cameras 9 CorriKtKUt A*v ( Hfttmkk Aw I don’t know how often the direction of traffic cameras is changed, or for what reasons, but it seems odd that this particular camera would be rotated the day before the incident and then returned to its original position the day after. At the very least it strikes me as rather wasteful of municipal resources, as it isn’t clear what purpose this would serve, especially given that about 50% of the camera’s view was blocked when it was rotated. It is possible the camera is adjusted according to which areas have the highest traffic at different times of day, but regardless of the time of day that I visit the site personally, the camera appears to be in the same northwest-facing position. Chapter 6: The Timestamp Anomalies Articles about the gunman incident that began appearing online were time-stamped showing publication before the incident actually occurred. Could articles have already been readied, and a publishing mistake caused them to go live prematurely? Or can this be caused by some type of timestamp glitch? W■dHntUoIBI ■miia I PM When one integrates the fact that the US government has considered shocking, bona-fide false flag schemes such as the now-declassified Operation Northwoods l^ as part of its regular playbook, operations to discredit Pizzagate—including those where real injuries or deaths occur —suddenly become entirely plausible. Researchers have repeatedly posted warnings that a more serious incident committed by an alleged proponent of Pizzagate could be the next big move to effectively shut down the investigation, and perhaps even justify the censorship of alternative discussion in general. Chapter 7: The Mysterious Case of the Disappearing Norway Incident On November 20th, when awareness of Pizzagate was growing but was still nowhere near its current level, news agency AP published an article about arrests made in connection with a pedophile ring in Norway. The ring included politicians, lawyers, and police, and included the rape of infants and people offering their own children for sexual purposes. The story was republished in outlets including The New York Times, ABC, and The Washington Post. These newspapers, along with countless others, subscribe to the AP newswire, allowing them to re-post AP’s content. Several weeks later, after interest in Pizzagate had picked up enormously, researchers discovered when attempting to reference the articles that, in addition to others such as the Los Angeles Times, all three of these major outlets had removed them from their websites: BEFORE AFTER Norwegian Police Aneii liU Men in f^Juphife Network Frvbm Ck^fMkrmn o o o o Pflge Nfl Longdi Available in* iriKM « no •'•imm tn n>Vnaa o«fii RSDIRCCTS TO MAIN PAGF 4 » 4 I»—>■ MrunMUi|i»|M \oruc}£iun |iolic»‘ arrt'sl 2< |ir«li>|iliili‘ iii'luiM'lv |)n>lK‘ HLLSaO Sorwvn K)itv«a> tiniiMMvtivi Sorrj', we can’t seem to find th looking for. i^ii iwIpJ k —•■■Xmat 'i •teb adiia io%a* of udal aail cm car «f 0 «*p«»> r»r--; . ..>«l n-- •rpM ijM b Am thM k#.* mrntti to mi k *j c»>- 4MM7Me«»7 IlDiJiaMTHii IMPMJtMMlMar ■ii|KMM»fRM aApncMHmStrwM r—V« 1 ^ .'ir -wn ■ 11 !■» < » From my stint working for a newspaper, I am aware of two primary reasons for an article to be removed. One is because of factual errors, in which case the standard practice is to just issue a correction notice and fix the factual errors. It is very rare for an article to be so riddled with falsehoods that it is retracted entirely, and these cases are often highly publicized, such as in the case of the Rolling Stone rape article l^ and the Stephen Glass scandal l^ at The New Republic. Another possible reason would be because it was deemed to not be newsworthy, but this is very rare. One can fairly safely assume neither of these apply to the AP article about the Norwegian pedophilia ring, which is gone from the AP’s website but can still be found elsewhere .l^ The question, then, is why did editors see it fit to scrub the AP article? Articles from newswire services can come with certain licensing limitations, so it’s very conceivable that an article would disappear from a third-party outlet once the term of the license had expired. However, since other news outlets are still carrying the identical AP story, this explanation seems unlikely as well. Perhaps these news outlets thought it could appear damaging to their credibility to run stories claiming Pizzagate is nothing but an insane conspiracy theory, all alongside an article outlining exactly the kind of activities that the Pizzagate research has attempted to expose. Chapter 8: Troll Wars Researchers have spotted a suspicious trend where the same comments denouncing Pizzagate appear, verbatim, in multiple places. I have noticed this personally when a commenter left an explanation for one of the Podesta emails on one of my Pizzagate articles that I later saw repeated, word-for-word, on two other websites. The following screen-grab shows another such example: n tM (n*«t apic trsi soar on the n a whAe pos«43^ e/er li tr- efiMeemerti c< ftOfy sr lor • jlerowoliol TlwrtM ol sutH’imes rdnf •nttiebadecr someons »H«a caUbonme crNCv» wrtmg prqcd TV wrrvlt nl t)« anA’Tten «onto tM umv mnrthaa^nr. rghll^•f•tr oe* rtwy ato VuiglwegilMw »t«*4 tieoe ‘OC09IC t: Coobes' bar ihc Jeery uccvthy SctioolQf 'wiivdcgf at unv«nty of 600^ rti Tol fupriMgM t^otm wtiolM(rt«vs:cf godi. gotten «>; M Maht nto (•rt«Y ittknt ftt f^zuigai* One thought on "BREAKING NEWS: Fake News Hysteria Is #PizzaGate Damage Control!"

Whether or not you believe that Pizzagate is true, it originated from a genuine and accidental discovery. Here’s another example from Twitter. Keep in mind that these aren’t retweets, they’re multiple accounts posting the exact same cut-and-pasted message. One of the accounts posted the same Tweet twice on two different days: marion jack ^ocntlfokf:.^ 3h #pi2zag3to lact check mueicians and artiets can be morbid in weird.

Stay tuned, as even with the deteriorating situation on the research platform, there have been more interesting connections uncovered. I will outline these in Part III. Part III: Beyond Logos & Strange Art — Despite Fake News Ridicule, Pizzagate Goes Deeper Chapter 1: It’s Not about Pedo Logos The fundamental thesis of Pizzagate is that pedophilia, sex trafficking, and other crimes against children are endemic to the power structure in Washington and internationally, both on the left and the right sides of the political spectrum. Given that basic theory, it’s getting harder and harder to relegate Pizzagate to being nothing more but confirmation bias and clustering illusion gone awry. With each discovery, there is a new rebuke to the misconception that Pizzagate is based primarily on thematically-disturbing artwork and logos that allegedly resemble pedophile symbols. As I noted in Pizzagate Part Deux, the body of independent research collectively known as “Pizzagate” is facing ongoing challenges. From widespread ridicule as “fake news,” a gunman incident at Comet Ping Pong, and a dilution of quality research due to the fact that anyone with a web connection can contribute, it has become harder than ever for strong research to find a foothold through all the noise. But remarkably, the more serious and discerning contributors have still managed to make strange findings. Chapter 2: “My Favorite Pedo” Now-deleted Instagram account wekinonmahnightcheese belonged to Jeff Smith, a contractor who works with Comet Ping Pong owner James Alefantis. Smith rose to notoriety amongst Pizzagate researchers after it was discovered that he commented “#killroom” on an Alefantis Instagram post of a walk-in freezer. An Instagram friend of Smith’s also commented “#killroom” on an image from the wekinonmahnightcheese account, on an image of a room in his art studio !^ in a PA retail center called The Pajama Factory. No one is quite sure what the killroom hashtag means, but as you might imagine, some of the theories are macabre: Another of Smith’s Instagram connections is his brother Blair, who had an image on his now- deleted Instagram page where he referred to a friend as “My favorite pedo”: However, as we’ll demonstrate below, Pizzagate is based on far more than just unsavory Instagram posts and allegedly strange logos. While these have certainly piqued researchers’ interest, the strangest things that have been uncovered continue to go quite a bit deeper. The first one we’ll get into is in regard to a series of real estate transactions involving a house sold by James Alefantis. Chapter 3: Real Estate Hot Potato In 2007, while Comet Ping Pong owner James Alefantis was romantically involved with Correct the Record head David Brock, they purchased a Washington. D.C. home. l^ They sold it in 2013 for $2.25 mihion .l^ Real estate records connect James Alefantis to the purchase of over a dozen properties (an extensive roster of properties for anyone, much less the owner of a hipster-ish pizza and ping pong joint). A real estate database shows a convoluted sales history !^ in the years leading up to when Brock and Alefantis bought and sold the home, with the ownership of the property seemingly being passed around within a small group of people and organizations, including a trust called L’Enfant, for over a decade. (Also worth noting, and added by a commenter, is that a company named Priap sold the house as well—its name an apparent reference to Priapus .l^ a lustful Greek god of sex and male genitalia, known for raping the Goddess Hestia and often depicted with a cartoonishly enormous erect phallus). Some parties even re-purchased the house multiple times: Sales $ $ $ $ $ S $ $ $ History Nov 19, 2012 $2,125,000 00 SaMr James Atefant-s.

Frank M Best Buyvr Mark Hendrix The last purchase on record was the Alefantis sale in 2012 to a Luz and Scott Driscoll. I mention this only because one Pizzagate researcher claimed that Scott Driscoll was mysteriously deceased when he somehow allegedly purchased the home. If there is a mystery here, that detail is not part of it: I have found no evidence directly linking the deceased Scott Driscoll to the property, but was able to find another listingl^ linking a living Scott Driscoll to a Luz Lopez, indicating this to be the Scott Driscoll in the sales records. Several of these sales are confirmed on other real estate websites, such as Zillow .i^ One of the former listing agents is Cynthia Howar, a former employee of the Clinton administration who went on to co-found a lobbying firm called Potomac Strategies International. !^ Why did a rising lobbyist abandon the D.C. machine for the bustle of real estate sales? Whatever the reason, it’s difficult to make sense of the sales history. Why has the house been sold so many times in the past ten or so years? It has raised eyebrows among some that the house is potentially being bought and sold as a way to launder money. i^ as the selling history appears to fit an overall pattern that points toward this as a possibility. The political connections of the listing agent when Alefantis purchased the home only add further cause for question. The fact that we live in a political landscape where the CIA hires real estate agents causes one to have to regard Washington, D.C. as a kind of alternate reality where all kinds of questions that seem absurd elsewhere suddenly become reasonable to ask. Chapter 4: James Alefantis, Laura Silsbv, & the CIA Remember that blackmail suit where Alefantis and boyfriend David Brock paid someone $850,000 1^ in hush money? Their lawyer was Max Maccoby, then-board member and director for Friends of the Orphans, the same organization Laura Silsby was representing in Haiti where she was arrested for attempting to traffic 33 children !^ out of the country with sleazy lawyer Jorge Puello, wanted in at least four countries for child sex trafficking !^ and other charges. With over 700 orphanages in Haiti, it seems odd that Alefantis’ attorney would be the head of the same orphanage connecting accused child traffickers Laura Silsby and Jorge Puello with Hillary Clinton. Laura Silsby Enlisting Maccoby as their lawyer for the blackmail case wasn’t some random coincidence, as Alefantis had been friends with the Maccobys for years. This is indicated by a 2008 fiasco during which Alefantis was trying to convince his local Neighborhood Commission in D.C. to allow Comet Ping Pong to stay open after-hours, particularly for live music. Commission member Frank Winstead was known for extreme opposition to the idea, with the Washington Post and other papers i^LIreporting on his bizarre declaration that it would turn a “quiet stretch of Connecticut Avenue in Forest Hi11s into a haven for rape and murder.” !^ Support for the measure was equally vehement, as can be heard in a hectic recording of the Commission meeting .!!^ At about 31:40, someone identifying themselves as Max Maccoby can be heard declaring, “I will personally seek to remove the individuals who attempt to stop this.” From the address he gives, which matches the address listed on the Maccoby Croup ilQH website, we can conclude definitively that this is the same Max Maccoby who ran Friends of the Orphans, and the attorney Alefantis and Brock retained for their blackmail case. If that weren’t odd enough. Friends of the Orphans, operating under the banner of orphan and abandoned child charity NPH ^l^ (Nuestros Pequenos Hermanns) includes a “secret NPH task force for special operations.” ^Q^ Formed by Mary Sue and Vern Conaway and their son Thomas, these “agents” undertook “special operations with a wide range of activity.” Meanwhile, a leak of diplomatic and intelligence cables fh^ lists a Mary Sue Conaway as someone alleged by foreign authorities to be an active CIA operative. What’s more, she was working as Consular General at the embassy in Santo Domingo . 1125] Dominican Republic, at the same time Laura Silsby was attempting to bring Haitian children to an unregistered orphanage there. Conaway’s job would have included managing visa issuance for anyone attempting entry into the country—such as, for example, visas for the 33 Haitian children taken by Silsby. In summation: accused child trafficker Laura Silsby and organization Friends of the Orphans are both connected with accused CIA agent Mary Sue Conaway, and James Alefantis himself. Given the network being uncovered, his designation as one of Washington D.C.’s 50 most influential people begins making more and more sense even as new questions emerge. Chapter 5: Billionaire Child Trafficker Jeffrey Epstein Returns — Dyncorp’s Sex Trafficking & Epstein’s Aircraft Along with other numbers, the tail code on an aircraft is used to identify it .^^ much like a license plate on a car. Jeffrey Epstein, convicted billionaire pedophile, owns a variety of aircraft, and one of them—a Bell Long Ranger 206L3 helicopter — shared its tail number with a OV-IOD Bronco registered to the U.S. State Department . This Bronco was subcontracted to Dyncorp for "counter-insurgency" and "counter-narcotics" operations. For those who don't know, Dyncorp is a private military contractor often hired by the U.S. for everything from renditions and weapon transfers to rescues after natural disasters. It also so happens that Dyncorp employees were accused of owning and trafficking child sex slaves in Bosnia in the late 1990s :L^ a scandal big enough that a Hollywood film called The Whistleblower was released, based on the story. Epstein, known from his court cases to have had a predilection for teenage sex slaves trafficked from Eastern Europe .miQi shared this tail number on his helicopter during the same period when both he and Dyncorp employees were trafficking pre-teen and teen girls f^Ll from the Balkan region. Indeed, Epstein’s best-known sex slave and former “personal assistant” was someone named Nadia Marcinkova; a Yugoslavian girl purchased from her parents when she was the same time both he and Dyncorp stand accused of actively trafficking girls in the region. Is there a link between Epstein and Dyncorp that allowed him to take advantage of their operations to obtain underage girls trafficked by, or for, himself and other VIPs? In another row, Dyncorp employees paid teenage boys to perform strip shows in Afghanistan. Authorities later tried to “quash” the accusations ^^ and ensure the story was contained. Described as an “error in judgmenf’ m^ by Hillary Clinton lawyer Cheryl Mills, one must wonder if there is something to this disturbing pattern at Dyncorp and what, if anything, Epstein has to do with all of it. Chapter 6: Terry Bean — Democratic Bundler with Multiple Sex Crime Allegations I’ll start this paragraph with a statement that I believe that what happens between consenting adults should be their own business—nothing here is meant an indictment of any aspect of the gay community. I say that because the subject of this section, Terry Bean, co-founded one of the country’s largest gay advocacy organizations: the Human Rights Campaign. HUMAN RIGHTS C A M P A I G N„ Bean was also one of America’s top gay porn producers .m^ which is all well and good —again, consenting adults—but faced allegations that he had sex with a minor, and hid a camera in his bedroom ilf^ smoke detector to surreptitiously record sex with over a dozen individuals. The minor was a 15-year old boy H^ he and his boyfriend solicited on gay hookup app Grindr ill^ and had sex with at a hotel. Aside being a gay rights activist and porn producer. Bean was a major bundler, or “super fundraiser,” for Obama—a position also held by Tony Podesta. A bundler is someone who solicits, collects, and consolidates donations for political candidates. They’re a critical tool for candidates to finance their campaigns, and according to NPR, “rank high in the power structure of American politics. In another source. Bean himself is referred to as “indispensable to players at the highest level of politics.” m^ The Podestas work as handlers as well. Below, Bean can be seen posing with Barack and Michelle Obama, and then with Obama and others aboard Air Force One: Following the hidden camera allegations, there were reports of blackmail and hush money being thrown around to keep Bean’s “alleged illicit sexual activities” quiet . Interestingly, when it came time to go to court. Bean’s alleged teenage victim “disappeared. his attorney later issuing a statement that he had chosen not to testify. Prosecutors lobbied for the right to refile charges if the boy ever changed his mind, but the case was eventually dismissed for good after Bean paid out a $225.000 settlement .^^ Chapter 7: All Under One Roof — The Ahedin Family, a Terrorist Fundraiser, &... a Pizza Joint The Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs ^^ publishes a journal at which Saleha Mahmood and Hassan Abedin are the managing editors. These are the mother and brother, respechvely, of longtime Clinton confidant Huma Abedin, who grew up in Saudi Arabia .^^ This seems normal enough, until you discover that the journal of the IMMA shares the exact same address with a Saudi NGO called the Muslim World League .^^ an organization credited with promoting Saudi Arabia’s brand of extremist Wahabbi Islam.Jh^ Huma Abedin The former director of the MWL is Abdullah Omar Naseef .^^ a figure in Saudi American politics accused by the U.S. State Department of funding terrorism through IhMI organizahons like his Rabita Trust. Rabita is an alleged charity front for funneling money to Islamic extremist groups including Hamas, al-Qaeda, and the Muslim Brotherhood. Both the journal for the IMMA, managed by the Abedins, and the MWL, can be found at 46 Goodge Street, London, WIT 4LU, United Kingdom. Not even a different suite, floor, or office number is listed for either; the addresses listed are identical. But as if that weren’t odd enough, the third organization sharing that address is a pizza joint called Icco Italian Pizzeria .^^ « KJl*UkA >i-'. r*. Ll. • ContocT I’m sure there is a potentially logical explanation for this address being shared by these three entities. After all, Icco is clearly a real, functioning pizza restaurant. But in addition to all of this, of course, Abedin’s ex-husband Anthony Weiner is facing child pornography charges . adding even more fuel to Pizzagate researchers’ fire. So the question is, at what point do the coincidences and connections with people involved with pedophilia and child trafficking become significant enough to warrant closer scrutiny as a systemic issue?

So what do these connections mean as they relate to the U.S. government’s alliance with Saudi Arabia; one of the world’s most repressive religious dictatorships. a known hub for human trafficking ^^ and a major funder and exporter of Islamic terrorism? fl^ And as one of the world’s largest Clinton Foundation donors ^^ along with other Middle Eastern dictatorships, what exactly did the Saudi regime expect in return for their generosity to the Clinton Foundation? Whether or not U.S. and Clinton have ties with Saudi Arabia that relate directly to human trafficking remains to be seen. But even if they don’t, there is still more than enough reason to be uncomfortable with the relationship. Chapter 8: Further Conclusions I have a final note on Pizzagate, at least until I post further research. Early on, there was much talk that figureheads in the Pizzagate and “alternative news” community would be sued for slander, libel, and/or defamation by James Alefantis, John Podesta, and possibly others for their role in spreading the “fake news” hoax that Pizzagate is accused of representing. Former Huffington Post columnist David Seaman comes to mind as a potentially easy target for such lawsuits. However, I predicted in November 2016 that there would be no lawsuits whatsoever arising from the Pizzagate allegations. Podesta hasn’t made any statement at all on the content of the WikiLeaks email releases or any other aspect of Pizzagate. And Alefantis, when asked, has said correctly that a lawsuit would probably be arduous .fJ^ and unlikely to solve his problem ll^ now that the conspiracy theory has taken on a life of its own. I propose an entirely different reason for the lack of legal action: I believe there is at least some truth to the allegations, and that those involved have enough skeletons in the closet to be totally unwilling to face the depositions, summonses, and other scrutiny that a legal action would bring. That’s why I believed from early on that no lawsuit would ever be filed against anyone for conducting, promoting, or spreading Pizzagate-related research. We’ll see if my prediction stands the test of time. Part IV: Fake News Warfare Pizzagate Debunked? Chapter 1: Deconstructing the Debunking In the wake of the scandal known as Pizzagate, several major publications have released articles debunking the phenomenon, including The New York Times and Snopes. The New York Times article’s headline originally included the phrase “Fact Check,” a detail which has now been altered in their online editions. This may be because editors realized that someone might notice the article didn’t actually bother to check any of the claims being made. Their headline now reads without the “Fact Check” preface, simply saying “ Fake News Onslaught Targets Pizzeria as Nest of Child Trafficking. ”11^ The implication, of course, is that any online coverage or investigation of the claims involved automatically qualifies as “fake news,” a meme that I believe has been weaponized in order to associate reporting that counters mainstream narratives with faux-reporting and tinfoil battery, creating cognitive dissonance in readers who are exposed to ideas that run against the established orthodoxy. By looping in news that is actually fake with news that merely runs outside the mainstream, a “guilt by association” response forms in news consumer’s minds when faced with articles on certain topics, effectively banishing them from qualifying for further examination without the burden of having to present logical counter-arguments or genuine rebuttals. So if it doesn’t check facts, what is the content of the New York Times piece? It primarily discusses the (indeed very unfortunate) threats and abuse that have been lobbed at James Alefantis, owner of Comet Ping Pong, since Pizzagate took off. It references claims that the research never made (such as that Hillary Clinton is personally “kidnapping, molesting and trafficking children in the restaurant’s back rooms”), without actually addressing any of the actual research. Chapter 2: Mark Thompson, Protector of Savile Shockingly, a Telegraph aiticle lJ^ reports that during the Jimmy Savile trials, then-head of the BBC Mark Thompson allegedly lied to help cover up the crimes of the legendary pedophile. Mark Thompson is now the CEO of none other than the New York Times Company. Legendary rocker Johnny Rotten, AKA John Lydon, even claims he was banned from the BBC after unaired comments from a 1978 interview where he alluded to Savile’s crimes, commenting that “We’re not allowed to talk about it.” ll^ Whether or not Thompson lied to protect Savile ll^ when the BBC was embroiled in a pedophilia scandal involving one of their own, reports show, at the very least, that the BBC turned a blind eye .H^ Are Thompson and his organization. The New York Times Company, similarly protecting dangerous pedophiles in the American political and media scene? Given those questions and the New York Times’ lazy coverage of Pizzagate, it calls into serious question the New York Times’ credibility in covering such scandals. A recently published New York Times Op-Ed declares pedophilia a “disorder” U^ rather than a “crime.” It’s true that pedophiles who resist their urges are not guilty of criminal activity. Eantasies are never crimes, and I wouldn’t want to live in country where they were. Pedophilia might also legitimately be classified as a psychological disorder. However, the implied apologism for pedophilic preferences would rightly strike any non¬ pedophile as at least a bit shocking, and just as a clinical psychopath wouldn’t be forgiven for committing fraud or assault merely as a result of their diagnosis, any pedophile that victimizes other individuals should be held similarly accountable. A visual summary is below: H«ll<‘^f1ly grii Hum nhiMiif! .ttDrhilrtrrn ^and g4« nilh dmid budirn > (Du SrtrBrapli NEWS theguardian ^MCs Mark Thompsc'n named newCEu the New York Times j wutnwMM FM»p(ulU: A Ditofd^r, N«t • Crime 931 Chapter 3: A Circular Fact-Check A Washington Post piece. ^^ though less egregiously lazy than the New York Times one, carries similar endemic issues, with claims stating that Comet Ping Pong “was the secret headquarters of a child sex-trafficking ring run by Hillary Clinton and members of her inner circle.” This is not a claim that the researchers have made. We’re left with several “fact check” type articles with basic factual issues, that do very little fact checking, all referencing each other as evidence that the claims have been debunked. The BBC published an article lf^ decrying Pizzagate as “fake news” as well. In the piece, when referencing theories about a basement in Comet Ping Pong, Alefantis claims the restaurant has no basement. However, it seems that Alefantis himself is guilty of confusing basic facts about his own restaurant: in a 2015 interview with Metro Weekly ll^ about celebrity chef Guy Fieri’s visit to Comet Ping Pong, Alefantis specifically references a basement in the restaurant that he now claims, in the wake of Pizzagate, does not exist: HTTP WWW.BBC.COM NEWS BLOGS TRENDING 38156985 "They ignore basic truths," Alefantis tells BBC Trending. For instance, the conspiracy supposedly is run out of the restaurant's basement. "We dont even have a basement."

Can them alt. store them in the basement, have bke a harvest party when it gets loaded in. (Note: It has since been discovered that the basement in question is at Alefantis’ other restaurant, Buck’s Fishing & Camping.) The Snopes ^^ piece that attempts to debunk Pizzagate uses the New York Times article and other similarly-written pieces, such as this one ^^ from the Washington City Paper, as sources. The language in the Washington City Paper suggests it was written by someone with a similarly pre-determined conclusion but, to its credit, it does link to some of the actual research so that its readers can dig deeper. However, with the definitive declaration that Pizzagate has been “debunked,” most news consumers will simply take the article at face value. Chapter 4: Who is Kim LaCapria? The author of the Snopes piece is someone named Kim LaCapria. Her bio lists her as a “Content manager and longtime Snopes.com message board participant.” A content manager is someone who works either creating, curating, and/or directing the development of articles, listicles, media galleries, or other content for websites. One might wonder how, exactly, this background qualifies her to definitively rule the Pizzagate claims as “False” with a capital F—a claim that not even Aceloewgold.com's own summary makes. At this stage, as an opinion blog populated with opinion articles, this writer’s claim is merely that more research and digging seem genuinely warranted. Such a definitive answer at this point does not seem particularly journalistic, and suggests a rush to conclusions to prove it false—which is exactly what Snopes et. al are accusing the researchers of doing: seeking information to confirm their own pre-existing conclusion. A cursory examination reveals that LaCapria’s piece contains basic factual errors. She writes about images from James Alefantis’ personal Instagram page, confirmed by Alefantis himself to be from a genuine account, as coming only from third parties. She writes: “...the photographs that the Instagram account purportedly hosted were instead, apparently, taken from the pages of various people who “liked” the restaurant’s page on Facebook.” This conclusion was drawn, incorrectly, from a statement released by the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department. The D.C. police statement specifies that the Instagram posts came from Comet Ping Pong’s social media pages and other pages in their social media networks, without specifically excluding Alefantis’ personal Instagram page. Indeed, if she had done 2-4 minutes’ worth of basic research rather than contriving her own desired conclusion based on a vaguely-worded D.C. police statement, she might have found interviews in major news outlets lf^ where Alefantis confirms that researchers had indeed discovered pictures from his personal Instagram page. Multiple other sources !!^ show that Alefantis does not dispute that the Instagram profile is his own—merely that the pictures it contains are innocent, and are being taken out of context. It seems that LaCapria reviewed only the D.C. police statement and several articles declaring Pizzagate debunked, without bothering to look at any of the research itself. This lack of due diligence should give pause to anyone considering LaCapria’s overall depth of research, reporting, and qualifications. Chapter 5: Decide for Yourself Ask yourself: are claims and research actually being checked, or are articles simply leading readers toward a pre-set conclusion with Straw Man fallacies, regurgitation of memes like “fake news” to create an instant negative association, active avoidance of concrete rebuttals, emotionalized assumptions, and other manipulative techniques? Don’t let the declaration of something as “fake news” replace your own ability to think and research independently, or you’ll ironically fall victim to the same tricks that actual fake news achieves: a rush to conclusions during which you have surrendered your own critical thinking to someone else. Look at the actual claims, spend some actual time researching, and then when you make your decision—whatever it may be, right or wrong—it will at least be an informed one. Regardless of who tries to debunk the claims, it appears that the researchers have no plans of stopping their work, and that debunking-type articles only serve to increase interest in the topic if^ of Pizzagate. Whether or not anything legally actionable is ever discovered, only time will tell. Part V: #EIsagate — YouTube Weaponized Against Children Chapter 1: Elsagate — The Pizzagate Sequel Self -styled online investigators lf^ have discovered a number of bizarre, seemingly-related YouTube channels in which cheaply-made cartoons and live-action sketches bombard viewers with disturbing and depraved themes, calling into question the intentions of those responsible for the content. The live-action content features real children. Co-opting popular characters and viral keywords like Minnie Mouse, Elsa from Frozen, and “superhero IRL,” the videos feature repeating themes and imagery including cheating and infidelity, pregnancy and abortion, simulated sex, injections, dungeon torture, injections, and even defecation and scat eating in their content. Collectively the channels have many millions of views, presumably from children, but adults who have discovered the channels have found their content incoherent as well as highly disturbing. Due to the prevalence of the Elsa character in the content, the phenomenon has become known as #Elsagate. Pregnant Frozen Elsa Doctor Spiderman Cutting Open BIG BELLY! Is Splderman PREGNANT?

A discussion on 4Chan ll^ led users to discover a code hidden in the comments sections of some of the videos that led them to a Twitter account. That Twitter account had direct links to a series of anxiety-inducing unlisted YouTube videos—“unlisted” means that no search will turn them up, they can only be found if you know the exact URL. The videos feature a voice instructing what the viewer’s “trigger” is, and associates each trigger with different colors, often invoking the same characters and items featured in the disturbing YouTube channels—Mickey Mouse, Power Rangers, a birthday cake, et cetera. As an example, one of the trigger videos might display a disturbing background while a voice says something like “Blue, your trigger is: Elsa. Red, your trigger is: Spider-Man.” The colors mentioned in the trigger videos then tend to repeat conspicuously throughout the content containing those characters: Between the disturbing “for kids” YouTube channels, the coded comments that led to the Twitter account, and the trigger videos hidden in code on that Twitter that feature corresponding colors, characters, and objects, all have led to online speculation we are witnessing some kind of new iteration of the CIA’s MKUltra mind control program .ll^ View one of the very strange unlisted YouTube videos in question here .U^ Embedding was disabled, so I had to use an external link. Be warned, the videos are genuinely anxiety-inducing. Hergll^ is another. Other users’ experiments running the “MKUltra” videos through decoding software uncovered even more coded references to the disturbing YouTube Channels: TToiecoirid be a t»p tar iwr abaouMr TfieMacharwvtittiougt arem^i dtttwbnc {an id Hunk tiMi theft •« yo> 9KM4M ol pecpte eul ftcte but flwte • w«>es a( c«a tncrge cut there tlwe ene«^ polules people ire taneway Mnuraptegroupi 01 peoptecart get Mnappea up nneMmeiworgievi benavoraoipanKanr ncrecotfooe peopleMhoarecomjpMandftavwilintuarcepiOi^earauadttembaflteftJiabtiiQKtortMaitaorkhere iMne^deoicoUdM rfunr^MlIy ena fMehing heretiw* lie reuNw* ^wetc hue «tnrb
