Ok so I was doing a little bit of research into the Franklin scandal, and came across a scan of a newspaper article from back in the day. I noticed the name Jay B Stephens as the US Attorney for DC. This guy was supposed to investigate the Washinton side of the Franklin scandal, and look into the fun fuckery of Craig Spence. There was apparently a lot of complaining about that though because apparently a lot of the people named in the Spence side of the scandals were buddy buddy with Stephens. I don't really know what happened as a result, because finding research on line from newspapers in 1989 is pretty damn hard. 'Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future.' - George Orwell
Anyhow move forward a few years and J.Stephens becomes Senior VP of Raytheon. Raytheon manufactures electronics for weapon systems. Raytheon was lobbying HRC hard while she was Secretary of State so they could horn in on arms deals following the Arab spring.
How would a defense contractor who is friends of child molestors get sweet access to the White House? Fuckin hire some of those bad mamma jamma baby touchers of course!! Raytheon hired Heather Podesta (Tony's Wife/John sister-in-law) to work form them and lobby Clinton as Secretary of State
So there you go. Franklin Scandal --> Raytheon --> White House --> Podestas.
Hopefully some of you guys can take those leads further than I can.

Raytheon is a colossal part of the military-industrial complex, you can connect virtually every important person in DC with them.
But I commend your work, especially digging around attorneys/DOJ members who happen to drop cases involving pedorings...

I agree. Tying peeps to Raytheon is easy, but what struck me with this is that there is a direct line from the Franklin scandal, which allegedly involved the trade and torture of minors, to the Podestas through Stephens. That's an anomaly worth looking into.
I think all these pervs travel in the same circles, so making connections is going to be pretty easy. I think, however, if we are going to find real breaks in pizzagate we need to look at guys like Stephens.
There is a HUGE spotlight on the big players like CPP, Podestas, Clintons, etc. They have mountains of cash and support to clean their tracks. Finding a break with them now is going to be near impossible because we have lost the element of surprise.
The weak links in the chain are those not expecting examination. Stephens has been coasting along for 25+ years with no one looking closely at his activities. If there is dirt on him he likely won't be as dilligent cleaning it up like HRC. The odds of a breakthrough are much greater with him. edit Also, these old school guys aren't as savvy with computers, so they have digital weak points.
I'm going to start tracking some other names mentioned in the Washington Times article to see who else pops up on the pizzagate radar. Stephens was literally the first guy I looked at.
edit One word of caution here too.... Raytheon is a defense contractor. Defense contractors are notoriously vigilant on keeping shit quiet. Investigating companies like this definitely will, raise the likelihood of "accidental suicide"

Sorry to insist, but Raytheon must have hundreds if not thousands of politicos/lobbyists/journalists working for them. There is no way we can use this connection in a meaningful way. Money flowing in all directions is totally normalized, Tony Podesta received millions for lobbying on behalf of Saudi Arabia for example. So all these claims will be easily dismissed by NYT, WaPo, Bloomberg journalists as ravings coming from ppl who don't know how "business is done".
I agree with you, we must focus on specific persons whose DOCUMENTED actions were INSTRUMENTAL in helping "human trafficking" like Stephens or Silsby.

The sad part about Washington is that it's very incestuous with employment opportunities. Usually when someone moves to the private sector from the public one they are going to get picked up by one high rolling company or another. I agree 100% that following the mega-corporations will lead nowhere usefull. As you said, it's the individuals that need to be analyzed. Likely anyone of interest we find will be tied into a large company one way or another.
