I joined just now because of pizzagate. Some shady shit going on. Assange missing. Obama travelling the world, pushing the "fake news" narrative. Just in time for the media to run sham stories calling this story "fake news".
I agree that shady things are going on. I'm not convinced that everything is connected. I don't think Obama travelling the world is anything new and noteworthy. Also, I think the fake news concern is more related to the election because it's being used as an excuse to discredit "less-legitimate" sources and as a last-ditch attempt to control who influences the masses.
The fact that Assange is missing and twitter and reddit are pushing heavy censorship is shady on it's own. Overall, most media sources have NOT covered pizzagate though and I think that's more surprising. If it was obviously a silly conspiracy theory, it seems like the media would be eager to mock it as a crazy rightwing conspiracy.
On its own, Obama traveling the world is not noteworthy.
However, his promotion of the "fake news" narrative just in time for it to be employed against pizzagate puts him squarely in the crosshairs.
And of course, there's the pizza friendship bracelet Joe gave him, which on its own, seems innocuous. But knowing what we now know about pizzagate, it certainly raises eyebrows...
Well, he's also promoting the fake news narrative after an election that his party lost. I think it's more related to controlling political information and opinions than it is about protecting against the discovery of pizzagate.
The MSM doesn't need to use a fake news narrative to dismiss pizzagate as a conspiracy theory. When people started raising questions about Hillary Clinton's health, the media roundly mocked it as a conspiracy theory. That was enough for many people to dismiss the idea. In this case, the media coverage is much more sparse so I don't think that fake news was intended to cover this up.
I don't know what to make of the friendship bracelet. It could be connected but probably it's not. Even if it is linked to pizzagate, there's no way to prove it.
