History of the Comet Ping Pong sign

History of the Comet Ping Pong sign (pizzagate)

submitted 8.4 years ago by greenlentils

For people deconstructing the symbolism of the Comet neon sign:

The sign has been around since the forties.
It originally belonged to Comet Liquor (originally Comet Liquors and Deli) at 1815 Columbia Road. Picture of its previous incarnation here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kinorama/5027930954
Comet Liquors was established by Oscar Gildenhorn in 1940. Washington Post obituary for Gildenhorn here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1991/12/10/cecil-hobbs-dies/227dff7d-bc79-48a4-9cf0-b66ae9e30eb1/?utm_term=.f1302f455aec Oscar Gildenhorn "served on the board of directors and the admissions committee of the Hebrew Home of Greater Washington. He was a member of the Benjamin Franklin Masonic Lodge, the Amity Club and Adas Israel Congregation in Washington." Oscar's son, Joseph B. Gildenhorn, was the U.S. ambassador to Switzerland from 1989-1993.

So.... if there's nefarious symbolism behind the stars and crescents on the logo, it's old.

Its Bolshevik!! We need more research on the heritage of that guy. I assume he migrated from Germany but where before that, or where did his mother and father come from?? This has all the signs of Bolshevism. Infiltration.

The Polish were very brutal against the Germans before WW2. Murdering, raping, beating and torture innocent people. Still doesn't answer if the family was Bolshevik. There were very large numbers of Bolshevik migrants to Europe for decades prior to WW2, and prior to WW1.
