@Crensch...we've got a sleeper/ghost [O] whose original provenance has always been sketchy. He created v/pizzagate on 11/13/2016, the same day he created his account, but has no submissions whatsoever until 11/23/2016, the day of the Reddit ban. He's been a complete ghost for a year and a half. There was a lot of suspicion at beginning the v/pizzagate was a deliberately created limited hangout where information could be controlled. What if he's the one who suppressed this information?

The first three posts to the sub, made within a very short time of it's creation, were by a user named @pedokiller. He was only active for that day, and then he became a ghost, too.

WTF is going on, here?

This post was first archived 19 days after it was made. The sidebar shows these mods in place at that point in time, including Numbchuck, the sleeper shill mod who went rogue 12/31/2016 and was caught and stopped by Kevdude.

Digging a bit more, I discovered KKWW was the one who created the Pizzagate chat room on Riot, in which numerous users were doxxed, including several of the really major early pizzagate researchers such as PleadingtheYiff and mod abortionburger.

He also was the one who added rogue mod numbchuck, who may also be @numbcuck, who is apparently a tranny lover pushing submissions on all of the classic shill memes.

That's a lot of suspicious accounts associated with the creation and early days of v/pizzagate. It makes me wonder if the origin of the "v/pizzagate is a limited hangout/honeypot" shill meme might actually be true: Did they create it to be one, but we foiled their efforts?

Weirdly, the creator of the original pizzagate board on Reddit (whom I have spoken with quite a bit over the years and consider reliable) says that KKWW approached him the week before the sub was banned in his detailed piece on how Pizzagate started:

A week or so prior I had been contacted by the creator of /v/Pizzagate on Voat about taking over this subverse, because he no longer wished to be responsible for moderating it. At the time moderating /r/Pizzagate on Reddit was already so time consuming and overwhelming that I turned the offer down. With such short notice, being aware /v/Pizzagate already existed, as well as being aware of the fact that Reddit had turned into a complete shithole over the years, and that numerous other subreddits I never really cared for in the past had moved to Voat for free speech after being banned from Reddit. I decided Voat was the best plan of continuation of the Pizzagate investigation.

I was told separately by both PleadingtheYiff and Pizzathrowaway777 that the reason he and the other original mod/researchers from r/pizzagate left Voat was because KKWW refused to make any of them O's once they brought everyone to v/pizzagate, despite him saying he wanted to hand off the sub to them prior to the Reddit ban. Once they were doxxed, they felt Voat wasn't safe, and went on to create Disobedient Media, much as srayzie went on to make her own sub. RebelSkum, one of our other all time great researchers, also worked closely with them. Here's r/pizzagate mod @sigmawarrior discussing his concerns about KKWW back then.

This all sounds eerily similar to what's been happening with v/GreatAwakening, and the attempts at infiltrating.

Interesting. I always thought they were doxxed in a Discord chatroom.

Hmm.

that KKWW approached him the week before the sub was banned in his detailed piece on how Pizzagate started

That would make no sense though. Why approach someone who I understand was legit, and asking him to take over the v/pizzagate sub, when he was a limited hangout?

If KKWW was compromised (mere hypothesis) and knew Reddit would ban r/pizzagate, why make sure that there was a Voat sub where people could continue? Why create v/pizzagate in the first place?

He offered to hand it over so they would migrate here, but then didn't hand it over when they came.

So they could gain control without it looking that way. That's the definition of a limited hangout.

  1. Create active, helpful username that becomes familiar to mods on Reddit
  2. Helpful username makes subverse on Voat
  3. Several weeks later, ban sub with non-comped mods from Reddit
  4. In the ensuing chaos, put forward different helpful username to volunteer as mod and mod him
  5. Refuse to mod the experienced mod team who has the most comprehensive shill-spotting view
  6. Create helpful shill busting account to attack members of original mod team and original researchers as shills (ArmySeer, v/PizzagateShills) and try to get them banned or pissed enough to leave
  7. Monitor submissions, undermining them in Comments or removing them
  8. Use intel gained to target slim.g, kek.gg, Facebook, Instagram etc. with DMCA Takedown Requests
  9. Use intel gained to attack Voat's web host and credit card processing (probably with DMCA Takedown Requests)

I believe @srayzie was approached by BuilderAnon in a very similar fashion to the way KKWW approached @pizzagatethrowaway777.

Well, that's a convincing hypothesis I guess.
