There probably is a underground space or tunnel connection yet it is not considered a "basement" on the official tax dossier of the property.

His statement regarding the presence of a basement really is the most damning of his recent deflection that Comet has "no basement", there is nothing cute about trying to play word games with these types of crimes and inquiries - it goes to show how well-insulated this motherf#$r seems to believe that he is:

Here is the source of that quote to the best of my ability to discern: http://www.metroweekly.com/2015/04/from-scratch-james-alefantis/

"ALEFANTIS: Well, we make everything from scratch. Other restaurants, even good restaurants, will, like, not roast their own peppers. You can just buy the roasted peppers in a can. Or you can buy garlic oil. Some products you can get, and they’re consistent and they’re easy. But I didn’t even know that existed actually until they said that. I was like, “What do you mean? There’s another way? You can just buy these things?” Because a lot of restaurants will open a can and put it on. Like our sauce — we harvest a whole crop of organic tomatoes — 10 tons of tomatoes every year. Can them all, store them in the basement, have like a harvest party when it gets loaded in.

Guy was very enthusiastic. We had a really great long segment, and it aired, and we had a viewing party. The next day I’m exhausted, I come late, and there’s literally a line from the front of the restaurant, down and around the corner."

Let me explain something more that I don't have evidence unfortunately to provide you, yet it is TRUE - Guy Fieri is a DINNER PARTY chef. Do you know what a DINNER PARTY is? It is a major worldwide "Satanic" programming event. Children are sacrificed by their families, their mothers dress them up fancy, usually it is one of the few times they been dressed up. The days leading up to the event the children are bombarded with a silent subliminal mantra "they are going to respect you at the dinner party", "they are going to respect you at the dinner party" ... "they are going to respect you at the dinner party" - constantly over and over again. They are picked up by a limousine and driven usually to a gothic chateau, yet any fancy house type setting usually will do - there they are sat one to one with adults.

The adults speak in code around them usually snickering and mocking with cryptic jokes, because they are sitting next to their DINNER and their dinner is still alive ("sitting wonderful"). Later in the evening the children are put into a mind control trance such that they cannot run or fight, they are forced in their brain to walk to a room (whether they want to or not), then each one is brutally gang-raped by the dinner party adult guests. Then with the humiliation and fear hormones coursing through them they are murdered (throat slit). They are then brought to the kitchen where they are butchered and prepared by a dinner party chef (Guy Fieri / Gordon Ramsey / Emeril Lagasse, etc (note: most famous tv chefs are dinner party chefs)). The guests have their brains "enhanced" into believing they are having the best meal they have ever had in their entire life. Afterward they have a homosexual orgy that includes a "conga line" (penis inserted to the ass of the next) while dancing around in a circle.

When you see FIFA games, that have children walking out one-to-one with adults that is a crypto-nod to dinner parties, it reinforces the programming and headlock placed on the adult guests. It should be noted that the adult guests are not willful participants FOR THE FIRST DINNER PARTY event they attend, they are compelled to attend. Thereafter if they "run with it" they attend subsequent events and continue on in pursuit of further privileges and benefits. Unfortunately some who were decent have their spirit "broken" at this type of event and then start a path of thievery. People such as Alefantis, Guy Fieri, Gordon Ramsey and Emeril Lagasse are as bad as it gets - they not only know exactly what is going on they are actively facilitating in the hope of ever more privileges and benefits.

And again have no proof, yet I would bet that Bucks Fishing and Camping is actually a place where children are "served". Look at the website front page picture and have a careful look: it's a guy with a BIRTHDAY shirt on (because children are near their birth event (being so young, the starting of a sentiency)) he's butchering a giant steak with a sign that says STEAK cake. It's got a candle through the hole of a donut (crypto-for penis through the ass). It's real meaning is basically: for people who want a "piece of the pie", come eat some sexually abused children who have been butchered and are on the menu.

Here is the suspect menu item: *PRIME New York Strip Steak our Wood-Grilled ‘World-Famous’ Dry-Aged, “Big Steak” (16-18 oz) w/ handcut French Fries... 39.

///

It is subtle yet note the NLP of single quotes on the 'World-Famous' this draws the attention for further inspection of the menu-item and we then can look at this "Big Steak" in QUOTES as a form of sarcasm. Look at the price, 39, in occult you can play with numbers and this is cryptically 3 - 9 or 3 - 6 or 666.

The very name Bucks Fishing and Camping is probably a nod to another favorite of people in these circles, a game called "A MOST DANGEROUS GAME". They release naked children or sometimes a full grown woman into the woods and then hunt them down and kill them.

Within the same article: "Alefantis attributes his loose-limbed, casual outlook to his noncompetitive nature, a quality best exemplified by the game in Comet’s name. “I love ping-pong,” he says. “It’s not table tennis. You play to win, kind of, but you’re not trying to kill your opponent. You’re trying to have a good time.”"

In other words, ping-pong NOT table tennis - at this restaurant we don't kill and serve our children, we pass them back and forth for sexual pleasure this isn't Bucks Fishing and Camping.

Isn't their "basement" just their back room? There's outside light coming in in one of those pics. Then again, why would he call it a basement if it isn't one?

Thanks for that. I'll try to match it up.

I saw a video or some doc about the underground system. The bathrooms and other installations of that period had tiles that definitely when reflected on have a similarity with the artwork. At least to me. It's unreal how big and how widespread this sickness is.

I noticed that as well, check out my thoughts on this at 53433 .

Let me add this. Look at my attached graphic. The "realtor" market tries to maximize the "value" of the house when listing them. Realtors will advertise a basement as a second story. The difference is that the DC tax assessor does not recognize finished or unfinished basements as taxable property, so the tax assessment will state 1 story. If you look at the graphic, there are some very obviously 1 story buildings next to CPP. The tax assessor lists these other locations as 1-story, yet the realtor (propertyshark.com) website "markets" it as a two story, because it has a basement. If the building had 2 stories above grade, the tax assessor would assess it as a 2-story building and the realtor would market it as a 3-story building. [sorry, not listing citations, but this is all verifiable data]

https://i.sli.mg/1il2xq.jpg

https://i.sli.mg/hPlDtD.png

Well, without question, that is a basement - floor joists and a main beam overhead is a giveaway, as is earth below the concrete floor. Now, where it is, is the question.

The construction is very consistent with a building built in the

One thing to note is that basements are not usually counted as taxable space by the DC tax assessor. Which makes me wonder if there is a second story above grade in the building, as indicated by the "2 floors" comments on the tax assessment.

I've got something which may help break this stalemate. Look for post on main page in a minute.

42 from the background searches I have seen.

Go to the city hall of records and pull the property file. Anyone can view it, make copies, etc...

Well if they don't have a basement, where are they doing all the live music concerts??

Plus, I seem to remember one of the vids where red masked psycho bitch Kleinman is talking during a CPP concert, she makes reference to the people "up there," which could mean the floor above. I need to try to find that again...

EDIT: I found the vid I was thinking about. She talks about being underneath a "subway sandwich shop," so not below CPP. This is the vid where she talks about some guy named Jerry who likes little boys & children. Then she says "we all have preferences"

Folks, what is the point of this? The restaurant doesnt have a basement. Enough. There is a basement somewhere he stores tomatoes. Big fucking deal.

Are you really telling me you guys think that this stuff happens in some secret chamber below the restaurant? With all those employees around? Its absurd.

And the tunnel talk, ffs enough. Most cities have tunnels somewhere. So what. This is the kind of banter that encourages the NYT to call this debunked.

So if this guy could supposedly can so many tons of fresh tomatoes to make his shitty pizzas, don't you think that the amazing storage of such vast volume of condiment should have featured in any article with him? Why was there no mention of storage. The storage issue is the key. The pics of them digging appeared to be under a timber floor, with a ping pong table against the wall.

I personally think it would be very odd if Comet did not have a basement. Where else would they store their produce?

However, I think the work shown in the photo was done at a location Alefantis refers to as 'the farm.' We know he has a farm because it is mentioned at least twice in his Instagrams and this looks to me like it would be a farm building. Such a building would be a much better place to perform work like this and to hide bodies than the basement of a fairly busy city restaurant.

http://archive.is/03Lhml link is dead

I think The Tall Man movie was trying to tell us something about this tunnels

What about if there are real tunnels. that changes everything

I just noticed there is manhole in the ground, and some recent concrete work done, just under the comet sign. https://www.flickr.com/photos/fiascony/2757968088/in/photolist-4L64Qv-8FmN5J-6kruSe-AmrfgW-6uM8cy-jy117H-9GBit4-do4q2j-em3EKo-9y9j4n-6PH8Xv-6uGVqx-9GBfHk-9GBeCB-6PMgPb-zpL7VV-6cqZJJ-axU8Y4-emyDGZ-9GEqbW-6cmQ1z-6PH8W2-6cmQpZ-jWTBBp-da298j-ctUPzW-73jzZB-ewgpLA-68EGf2-em3EA3-em3EhN-ekWTVX-em3EUQ-6uM8fU-nfVvMB-5cHiPW-Dfvbm-9GDZiU-9GBd5H-68EFWe-d8N1BW-6cmRo4-5i4eWv-ccwSuw-6cr18L-gNJV3r-oHxmtA-6PMgMj-6cr1fG-ekdaQf/

the killroom in the instagram photos reminds me of some of the tunnels in the photos on these articles under dc. It appears to have a large bloodstain on the concrete floor. I noticed the same kind of concrete floor in the dc photos, as well as the ventilation and pipes on the ceiling.

very significant I feel.

wow. you are onto something here. I must look this up.

Pretty sure Comet Ping Pong descends toward the rear of the building which results in a Lower Level and some stairs. Not exactly a second floor, but still accessible with a door going outside.

This picture may not be in a basement as it looks like there is light coming from what looks to be a shipping door on the left. Just playing devil's advocate here, trying to be thorough. The other evidence is still good evidence that there is a basement.

Here you go.

We need eyes on comet 24/7. If you're in the area.

Seeing as how pizzagate has the potential to put them in prison where they will definitely be raped to death, they'll move their operations. We really need a basement full of children for the dumb ass public to admit it is a fact.

Has anyone just asked the City Building Department for blueprints? Be helpful if someone on here was an architect. Are basements/crawlspaces ever required or recommended in building designs? Does the DC "swamp" make it impossible for places to have a basement?

Interesting. Gj

Fox news this past Sunday 11/27. Not him speaking directly but Howie Kurtz quoting him. Shitty video, sorry, not mine.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XigUaUhFeDg

Comet Ping Pong DOES NOT HAVE A BASEMENT

Was watching Howie Kurtz on Fox this past Sunday on that media show he does. Same statement was made. Really bad video quality, but here it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XigUaUhFeDg

I've got written confirmation of him lying "They ignore basic truths," Alefantis tells BBC Trending. For instance, the conspiracy supposedly is run out of the restaurant's basement. "We don't even have a basement." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-38156985

"Like our sauce — we harvest a whole crop of organic tomatoes — 10 tons of tomatoes every year. Can them all, store them in the basement, have like a harvest party when it gets loaded in" http://www.metroweekly.com/2015/04/from-scratch-james-alefantis/

Proof the owner of Comet Ping Pong is making contradictory statements.

It's great to be better at giving news than the BBC

That is Dupont Underground, which ends 3.3 miles from Comet.

do basements count as a story?

maybe he said "store in the basement" figuratively

What do you mean? Could you give a link to a picture?

Real Estate bills of sale or property descriptions can be found in sales of property! Building Codes offices can so can title companies find and locate this information. INCOME TAXES RETURNS?

That's what I order if I am not quite sure about the establishment, for what ever reason. Non-ground meat in the US is basically safe to eat raw. On the other hand, what happens to the steak between being thawed and getting eaten is the most likely introduction of pathogens. I also hate the aged meat trend. It instills a taste that is usually indicative of old meat going bad. If their steaks are aged, I order something else. I find their taste too often to be repugnant.

There was an anon on /pol/ that said he streamed video when he went in there. It was before Jack Posobiec. He may have been the first one to do this, but I never actually saw the video. He said that everything seemed normal inside, as we've seen, except for a door in the back that had a keypad and a hole where a doorknob would normally go. He said he thought it led to a basement. It definitely was not shown in the street interview clips when Alefantis took them on a tour.

If not a basement, James might have possibly created an opening or access to a nearby tunnel or network from his 18 months of permit-less building construction? Placing him and his pedo pals physically off of the property and underground surrounded by darkness. These pedos picked this group of buildings for a reason.

What if the basement is in Buck's Fishing and Camping? It'd still be his. If this is the case, he can say "Comet has no basement" all he wants without actually lying. Or, if he has any kind of relationship with Besta Pizza or any other neighboring businesses, it could be a shared basement.

LOL I thought that as well.

This video has been used in some of the mainstream news "fake news" coverages.

Those guys didn't ask him any tough questions. I suspect the video guys may have been on his side.

Wish it wasnt so grainy and shaky. Woulda been better to document it all with a decent fixed image camera. You cant really get a feel for that back room. And where is the office? May as well open up Buck's too while he's at it. I would like to have high def well lit photos of every square inch of floor in both locations.

OK - so let me throw something out. I'm thinking about going to get a meal at CPP. If I were to do so, I'd like to get a task list and thoughts what type of information I could/should collect:

• Interior panos;
• Interior dimensions which could be used to create an as-built first floor plans;
• Summary observations of publicly observable food handling practices;
• Documentation of current "decor";
• Interpretive impressions of environment, staff interactions, etc.

What else? I'm just thinking about this....no promises.

Amanda Kleinman was on the Kojo show as well. She mentioned people calling her school. I looked into Amanda the other day. She was an 8th grade teacher before! Wow, access to middle school age kids. I also saved a bunch of her photos and her myspace account. I was curious as well because Amanda Kleinman looked a lot more chubby than the other pictures I had seen of her. The pictures I found show that she has gained a lot of weight. So it's her. If anyone is interested in the photos let me know. Her middle name is Fay. I think this band is a lot more involved than just "a band that plays there like twice a year". https://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2016-11-30/pizza-propaganda-the-local-fallout-from-fake-news

https://i.sli.mg/HqeyxT.png 2 sites list the property as having 2 stories/ floors. Alefantis better provide proof of a 2nd floor. Another thing that caught my attention is the fact that the place was purchased with a grant....A fucking grant to open a pizza place...for 1.8 Million? 1.8 Million for what? Everything about this place wreaks of something foul. If you can get a grant to open a pizza shop for 1.8 Million then everyone and their Momma would own one. We need Alefantis to talk more often! I love stupid criminals.

"#frankwinsteadwasright

Nice catch! Wonder what his explanation would be. "Oh I call the back room the basement..." ??

Basement is not at cpp it's next door afaik, not ideal but good for long storage. There's like a yard with rear access to both units.

In this pic posted by the OP, https://i.imgsafe.org/0aab857046.jpg there is an open door on the left hand side with what looks like sunshine pouring in. If this is in a basement, it has an outdoor staircase decending to this door, which could be found by looking around the exterior perimeter of the building. Of course, this door could lead to another basement room with a very bright light on, but to me it looks like natural light. Instead of setting up lamps to work, they opened a door. Also, I agree that the ceiling is kinda high for a typical basement.

This is a good piece of investigative research. This is how evidence is supposed to be presented.

On the Comet Ping pong website it said there were hidden bathrooms. Anything in regards?

Its a witchhunt based on lies, the world watches; real pedophilia exists but pizzagate is a limited-hangout to not look at the real child-sex-slave industry, which has always been right-wing; franklin,mc-martin,boyz-town, ... it is tied to Bush a nazi pedophile family ,,, Alefantis witch-hunt has dozens of blatant lies based on the most flimsy planted evidence. None of this would hold up in court. What happened to 'innocent until proven guilty'? GONE IN TRUMPS AMERIKKA

Pizzagate investigators are the new brown shirts

Dude, well done.

This makes sense. I posted this just a few minutes ago... There is a construction company next door to Comet Pizza https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1453670

MODS MARK THIS AS MISLEADING IT CONTAINS NO EVIDENCE THAT THERE IS A BASEMENT

Witch Hunts are always this way, no way you can win. Good news is that witch-hunts always boomer-rang back on the assholes that begat them. Kill-Room & basement have always been part of the original plant of insane photos on instagram, this thing was always a 4chan mind-fuck

It has what could called be a walk-out basement. Check google street view and "drive" around back of the buildings. The building is kind of on a hill so the front entrance is technically above the rear entrance, which would be a basement. There's a rear-entry door (Ha! Get it?).

Pizzagate ppl are the liars, you ask him to come forward and speak, he speaks he says there is no basement, no record of basement no customer has mentioned a basement its been a month now the place gets customers everyday, but nobody has bothered to walk in the door with a pin camera alefantis walked a guy through the place he didn't mention a basement when you prepare food the walk-in cold storage must be very close to the kitchen, we know that the prep pizza in the open no records on file for mod go back to original building plan, must be on file, you can't get build without a permit, the permit must contain all for sign-off by inspectors, all this is public record ... Why nada one fucking investigator has gotten off his ass and gone into city records and pull this stuff? Is there nobody in DC in this witch-hunt? ... The title is misleading if I posted this it would have been deleted

That's a technically. The building according to permits does not have a basement. The tunnels under the structure were preexisting, and subsequently not part of the building construction. Hence.

Check the "she's my god-daughter" statement too (the girl with her hands taped on the table). I feel highly suspicious that she would ever be seen again.

Excellent find. Love the fact that Alefantis mentioned about the basement himself. Thanks for such a great post.

Nice work!

It seems possible that the basement where he stores extra sauce is not on site. There is definitely no basement there.

I'm not sure what photo in the restaurant book you think is in a basement? They all look like the front room area, plus one of the kitchen/bar and one of the bathroom. There's one photo that I can't really tell what it is.

Politics & Prose is not in the same building, though it is in the same complex, a few doors down. The whole strip of stores is kind of on a hill, so the ground level exit from Comet out back is on the same level as the **basement **exit from Politics & Prose, they both exit to the parking lot. See: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Comet+Ping+Pong/@38.9554688,-77.0701022,3a,75y,72.27h,90t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s0-tiSgOn-MJLr6hd2YBmyg!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo3.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3D0-tiSgOn-MJLr6hd2YBmyg%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D67.65328%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656!4m5!3m4!1s0x89b7c9b98f61ad27:0x81a8bf734dd1c58f!8m2!3d38.9559497!4d-77.0699666!6m1!1e1

Even if there were a basement at Comet Ping Pong previously, it is likely that it has been covered up by now. What would be the next move for these degenerates? How do we go from these smoking guns all the way to conviction?

10 tons of tomatoes = over 3000 cans. It takes about 6lbs of tomatoes to fill an industrial sized 100oz can. 20000/6=3333.
Maybe that's not significant, but that detail irritates the fuck out of me. Is he lying? Exaggerating? Has a really huge basement?

Earlier pics of the Comet's interior had the open kitchen located on the left side, to the rear of the building.

The recent undercover video shows the kitchen now located on the right wall, a bit more towards the front, and enclosed. Anybody else see this?

It would be very expensive to relocate an entire commercial kitchen if it was over a slab floor. Prohibitively expensive. Maybe Alefantis is playing word games again, something he's quite skilled in. Could it be more of a crawl space, just not generous enough in height to qualify as basement?

but I thought that when he said there's no basement that meant there was no basement... Thanks infinitely, good find

There was someone on here talking about going back to governmental surveying records. He said he'd post the results. I'm hoping he does, in a separate thread so it doesn't get lost because if he does find proof, it'll be major!!!

Nice catch! Thanks for posting.

BOOM! Caught lying red handed. Nice work OP.

ALEFANTIS: Well, we make everything from scratch. Other restaurants, even good restaurants, will, like, not roast their own peppers. You can just buy the roasted peppers in a can. Or you can buy garlic oil. Some products you can get, and they’re consistent and they’re easy. But I didn’t even know that existed actually until they said that. I was like, “What do you mean? There’s another way? You can just buy these things?” Because a lot of restaurants will open a can and put it on. Like our sauce — we harvest a whole crop of organic tomatoes — 10 tons of tomatoes every year. Can them all, store them in the basement, have like a harvest party when it gets loaded in. WOW!!! You are so right. I don't know what to say. I have heard this go back and forth on here, but now I see it in print. Thanks for posting this.
