Interesting biographical note on John Podesta: Had a job slaughtering pigs while in college (pizzagate)

submitted ago by Psalm100

In a Politico article from 2009 - the reporter attended dinner at Podesta's - Podesta tells of slaughtering pigs during his college days.

This isn't direct evidence of anything, but is still useful to know about Podesta and keep in mind as more substantial evidence is considered, IMO. For one thing, consider the callousness Podesta seems to show. He seems to credit his brother for the painting on the wall of his office of men about to eat another man, but this article shows that he seems to think that way as well.

From Politico:

"Talk of pig roasting and slaughter kept popping up during dinner and was the last tale Podesta told before the guests left. To earn money while attending law school at Georgetown, he spent two years working at Turkey Run Farm in McLean, now called the Claude Moore Colonial Farm, an 18th-century re-creation."

"Standing in the kitchen and acting out his role, Podesta explained: “It’s best to do the butchering at 4 a.m., “because pigs should be slaughtered when it is cool, and it takes a long time to roast them. The pig is hauled on a front-end loader in order to split and gut it. It’s most important to slow the pig down by shooting it between the eyes so you can cut its throat. It makes the pig less ornery and a whole lot more cooperative than if you just stick a knife in its throat.”

"In homage to these skills, Podesta used to have a picture of a pig on a spit as his screen saver, but his staffers made him get rid of it, because he said: “They couldn’t stand looking into the pig’s eyes during meetings.”

this post didnt get enough attention

Godwillwin ago

Yes. That dark web instructions on how to carve a human carcass for consumption said how adult humans are called "long pigs" and children are called "hairless goats"

whoa - i don't know what it means but if feels awful

I have seen Mclean, VA mentioned in many threads. I think an Alefantis family member has a business there. I bet some shady stuff goes on in some of the farm land. The Franklin project guy talked to someone who said there was a random secret entrance in practically the middle of nowhere.

/Interesting. This leads me to question...

If Podesta is involved in the trafficking of people, pedophilia, molestation, etc, how was he introduced to it? Who introduced him to it? This is college, his "formative" years, after all. The trail has to start somewhere. Maybe it's here?

Psalm100 ago

You have to wonder about him and his brother, and how they grew up. They both have this sort of interest.

Hi guys, just lurking around and praying for you, you are truly brave. I remember I've seen on a video a very creepy pig/human with sucking piglets/babies sculpture from Tony Podesta's home - this is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHQObjFyJzM

P0desta is one sick fuck!

Psalm100 ago

I saw that picture of the farm sketch.

Alefantis works with local farmers and apparently likes going to the farms.

J Podesta worked on a farm and slaughtered pigs while doing so.

J and T Podesta enjoyed a picture of a slaughtered pig that Alefantis sent.

That account "werkingonmahnightcheese" - an apparent friend of Alefantis' - also posts things that would seem to appeal to the Podestas as well.

Disposing of bodies by feeding them to pigs...on farms.

randolf ago

jeez that's the connection with the dentist stuff/pictures... they remove the teeth and then feed them to pigs.

NB pigs can digest a human body, bones included, but not teeth!

MAGABoomer ago

That's right. Jaysus. Well no more mystery on what they do with bodies...if they're actually killing people.

I was just gripping the edge of my seat reading the decryption progress on endchan..holy shit they're trying to stop those insurance files.

I went looking for more information that might be out there about Podesta slaughtering pigs, and came up with one blog that mentioned it at the time of the story:

https://internetfoodassociation.wordpress.com/2009/07/10/killer-of-pigs/

The blog entry is by Matthew Yglesias, the well-known liberal who is now at Vox. In 2009, he was working for Podesta at the Center for American Progress. He titled an entry "Killer of Pigs," and wrote:

"You may know John Podesta as the founder and CEO of the Center for American Progress and a former White House Chief of Staff. But my boss is, as Politico points out, first and foremost a brutal killer," and "This kind of talk is a good way to maintain discipline around the office."

The blog Yglesias is writing on is called, "The Internet Food Association," and while sounding like something connected to the food industry, it's actually a blog for "music reviewers and online organizers. Political pundits and network security experts. Health policy writers and programmers." Ezra Klein is another one of the bloggers. And the focus of the blog is DC.

So I looked up Comet Ping Pong on the blog and found this single line entry from 2009:

"One thing’s certain: Comet is really far from where most of Washingtonian‘s readers live." That's a play on the Washingtonian's motto, " The Magazine Washington Lives By." The entry linked to an image that is no longer available, but the address is "http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/6007/pizzapoolchart2.jpg."

"Pizza pool chart" sounded like some sort of contest, and that's what it turned out to be. Only the main page for it is missing now:

"Who makes the best pizza in Washington? You tell us! Today, voting begins on the first Washingtonian.com Pizza Pool, a brackets-style contest that will narrow 32 pizzas to one winner. For a refresher on how the brackets will work, head here." But the link is broken, and a message says, "Page Does Not Exist, But Here Are 404 Pandas For Your Enjoyment." And there are 404 little pandas on the page. Haven't pandas been showing up quite a bit in pizzagate?

The page for the contest between Comet Pizza and a place called Piola, which Comet lost, still exists, though:

https://www.washingtonian.com/2009/08/11/the-pizza-pool-comet-ping-pong-vs-piola/

It doesn't give what the score was. But you have to wonder, since there were 32 pizza places involved, why the OFA blog would comment that "One thing’s certain: Comet is really far from where most of Washingtonian‘s readers live." Isn't it a beloved neighborhood pizza parlor that serves great pizza? So what prompted that comment? Given the jimmycomet Instagram account and the acts known to perform there, perhaps Comet also has a reputation for being a seedy place.

Creep. To keep describing it sounds like he enjoyed it.

Godwillwin ago

Yes and the article says that he acted it out for his dinner guests

SIMONBARROW ago

This is absolutely relevant. Someone with experience butchering pigs would find it easier than most people to move on to butchering other kinds of creatures - especially if he enjoyed his work, which it sounds like he did.

dickface8 ago

Well now we know he has no qualms with knifing a pig in the neck.

From WikiLeaks, an Email sent to John Podesta:

"Best approach is to slaughter Donald for his bromance with Putin..."

Check out the attachment on this email from WikiLeaks

Psalm100 ago

I just looked at it. Wonder why it fascinates Podesta and Alefantis. Not quite clear whose picture it was. Alefantis'?

OffTheMenu ago

The attachment appears to be from the original sent from Alefantis to Tony Podesta. The original email is not on WikiLeaks (the dump is only from John Podesta's personal email) but it appears Tony then forwarded the email. I speculate that it had the attachment on the original email, otherwise Alefantis sent a blank email to Tony Podesta with the subject Pig. Which could still happen.

Psalm100 ago

It sometimes gets confusing with the emails being passed around, and at times it doesn't appear that an email's sender is even identified. In this case, it does seem that perhaps Alefantis sent the blank email with the subject pig and the image attached but funny that T Podesta replies at some length. Perhaps he received more than one email from Alefantis but only the one with the pig he replied to and forwarded to John would have been part of the Wikileaks emails. That all would make sense.

satanist often use the blood of pigs and painted pigs heads, I just watched an old documentary about it

This makes me think of Marina Abramovic's "art."

mrnobu ago

Lately I've been thinking, OK if it isn't Podesta and his constituents ... THEN WHO IS IT. GIVE ME SOMETHING MSM ... ANYTHING.

Blatant. Just another quip providing so much the clarity with the case and a valid account to characteristics of a twisted psychopathic narcissist.

Too bad it seems like he's one of many

DarkOne ago

Circumstantial but still a very good find. definitively ads to his psychological profile.

micha_ ago

Very interesting. Therefore the photo showing a pig's eye on Alefantis instagram account...
