Comet Ping Pong and the Satanic Pedo Ring
It's it's another one of those stories that got distorted by the apparent coverup or at least distorted by the media's response to it, which was very much a straw man style response. These emails got dumped online full of everything that was in John Podesta's life. And John Podesta is a very powerful and connected man.
There is lots of stuff in those emails that was overtly concerning, politically concerning, like geopolitically concerning. But people on the internet then started to notice these strange pizza messages, messages about $40,000 worth of hot dogs being flown to DC for parties. You think about it for just a moment and you realize that that does not make sense. Overt references to children, like these kids will be in the pool and it'll be heated and they will be there.
People started digging into what these weird emails were, and then they began looking into the fact that certain pizza places were referenced a lot, places where these people were going and hosting parties. They started to notice one pizza place in particular: Comet Ping Pong, a pizza restaurant right in the heart of DC, run by a very politically connected DC insider who was the boyfriend of the founder/owner of Media Matters. Strange coincidences began piling up around this pizza shop. People noticed that the Instagram account of this pizza place was full of very disturbing images of children; things like children taped to tables, commenters talking about rape and sexual abuse, comments about “kill rooms,” and just a huge amount of disturbing imagery on what was supposed to be the public Instagram of a family-friendly pizza restaurant. This same place had photos of Obama eating pizza there, and the Podesta emails mentioned people going to have lunch at this pizza place with very high-level political figures. It started to get very strange.
Pizzagate itself spiraled into a lot of questions, concerns, and genuine investigation. But then it got distorted by the media response, which felt a lot like an immune response to a dangerous virus. The media packaged up all these legitimate questions that never got answered and repackaged them as: “crazy people on the internet think Hillary Clinton personally is running a satanic pedophile cabal and the whole thing is being operated out of the basement of this pizza place.”
That was the absurdity of the wrapper they put around it. No one was claiming Hillary was running it. No one was claiming it was all operating out of the basement of the pizzeria. People were just asking a lot of questions about very strange, legitimate oddities.
Then a very weird event happened: as the media was running a big smear campaign on these questions, a guy conveniently walked into that pizza place with an AR rifle and started shooting. He didn’t hit anybody, but somehow managed to shoot a bullet straight through a hard drive in the back room. He was quickly arrested, very publicly. There was a big photo op, and he gave a couple of soundbites as they hauled him off, something to the effect of “I was so convinced it was all real and that it was all here, and it’s just not.”
It felt extremely convenient. Good thing Hillary Clinton wasn’t personally running a giant satanic pedophile ring out of the basement of this pizzeria, which again, no one was alleging.
That became the wrap-up smear.
As Nancy Pelosi once described, a wrap-up smear works by wrapping a problematic narrative inside a false, exaggerated version of it. Then something crazy and dangerous happens around that distorted version, so everyone can point and say, “See? These conspiracy theories are dangerous. Anyone who engages with them is dangerous. We can censor them all off the internet because it’s been debunked.”
Meanwhile, a few people pointed out that the guy who owned the pizza place with all those disturbing Instagram images was the boyfriend of the head of Media Matters, one of the primary organizations debunking the story!
Those are some of the weird things that happened around the emergence of Pizzagate. No one ever got real answers. No one in government ever took it seriously. The emails are still out there (though harder to find these days), and many of the Instagram posts were preserved and archived in various places online. You can still find a lot of the original evidence, but it’s become much harder to verify now.
So do yourself a favor, if you have made it this far then well done. Open your mind, do not dismiss these allegations as far fetched or conspiracy theories. Ask yourself this, why would adults talk to each other this way about pizza?
The latest dump of Epstein emails & texts is alarming so the next time you see a story, take a string of three to four words from a document they are referencing and enter them into the US DOJ Epstein search
This will show you all the documents they have released that contain this information, you are right to be angry why these people are being protected and not being asked WTF they were taking about in this context?
Sick...
