Alefantis co-owns DC’s Buck’s Fishing & Camping restaurant and the Strand on Volta, a Georgetown art gallery.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/09/AR2005060900651.html
THERE'S THE creepiness of a horror movie to Craig Doty's art, on view at Strand on Volta.
Even Doty's most innocuous images -- and there's a kind of calm, classical innocence to almost all of them -- **feel illicit, if not illegal. Should I be watching this, or reporting it? **
their poses suggest a parkside sexual tryst,
Sex, violence and the ritualistic elements of both also come into play in Doty's series of "Chiefed" photographs. Reenacting the frat-boy prank of chiefing, whereby a passed-out partygoer's face is painted (like an American Indian chief presumably) with dirty sayings and drawings in permanent marker, most of the photographs from this series are too crude to be reprinted in a family newspaper, but they generally question the sexuality of the victim. The verbal violence implicit, not to mention the prerequisite invasion of personal space, is belied by the placid looks on the subjects' faces. Yet as they imitate the repose of sleep, they resemble death masks as well.
Both pieces, obviously enough, have homoerotic overtones.

Some of the artists there (Margaret Boozer, lucy hogg) were producing litteral TRASH AND DIRT as art. He also had a curator who worked to CITI BANK appreciating and valuing art (Jonathan Binstock).
Money laundering?
VERY STRANGE artist says thanks to James Alefantis
“Remember that these are mostly brains ravaged by antisocial
and mindless pleasures.”

Blake Gopnik, a jewish degenerate modern artist with a well connected family who have prominent jobs in rape prevention and developmental psychology, is a member of a secret society. He has strong ties to the Strand also - his wife, lucy hogg, exhibited there, and he may have as well. He was definitely part of the same clique.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blake_Gopnik
After receiving the Knights of Pythias Prize, Shakespeare Gold Medal, the McCullough Latin Prize and, the Commonwealth Scholarship, in 1989 Gopnik began doctoral studies at the University of Oxford.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_of_Pythias
The Knights of Pythias is a fraternal organization and secret society [2] founded in Washington, D.C., on 19 February 1864.
Read the list of known members. This looks like a potential pedo ring right here. anthony weiner, boyscotts, rockefeller, etc.
The name has a potential pedo connotation:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damon_and_Pythias
"Damon and Pythias" came to be an idiomatic expression for "true friendship".
The 1889 novel A Marriage Below Zero by Alfred J. Cohen (pen name: Alan Dale) has a young gay couple continually referring to themselves as Damon and Pythias. Soon the upscale social world that they try pass in begins to refer to them with the same term, but as derogatory codeword for 'gay couple.'
The secret society is trying to collect groups of young boys:
http://pythias.org/index.php/junior-order
The Junior Order Knights of Pythias is a recognized auxiliary of the Fraternal Order Knights of Pythias, an organization which affords preliminary training in the principals of Fraternity for our youth, ages 10 through 17
A Junior Order Knights of Pythias Chapter can be formed with 9 or more young men age 10 through 17 years, with an Adult Adviser and a Sponsoring Lodge. By using the "Buddy System", it is easy to acquire the necessary 9 young men. Just ASK a young man to join and bring his friend with him
We need your help to promote and contact good young men in your community to start a Junior Order Chapter. Remember, it takes three things to institute a Chapter, 9 young men ages 10-17, an Adult Adviser and a sponsoring lodge. We need more Junior Order Chapters. It's a win-win situation for everyone. JUST ASK....

Well I'm sure their restaurant reviews are alright. It's mainly the bits where they ignore paedophile rings and the political stuff that has no credibility.

I claimed WaPo was a credible source? Please show me. I merely linked to what Reviewer V. was talking about in their review of the underground secret restaurants. Hello McFly- see here http://archive.is/lsbYW#selection-4401.0-4401.110

Yeah they deleted the site and replaced it with Japanese stuff

Art can be disturbing without it bein an indictment. At least in theory. So we are better off focusing in specific criminality and evidence thereof; and using the morality and general weirdness just to generate leads. That is: art is art, not crime.
apparatchik1488 ago
Sure; this is just a large new area to research. No smoking guns here but a lot of leads.

Damnit. Sweeney Todd got in my head. Not then, but now!

A play called TERMINUS - about a serial killer - opened there.

Dang, how many things does Alefantis own or co-own? The list keeps growing!

"Thanks to Carol Greenwood and James Alefantis"
Searched her on Wikileaks and found her in an xls with dates of show - Carroll Greenwood and the Beatin's. This lead me to this article -
http://www.adequacy.net/2010/12/the-beatins-a-little-give-and-take/
Here is where it gets interesting:
From the article: http://archive.is/2e4Ut#selection-187.610-187.1260
Greenwood’s career path, on the other hand, has wound through an almost absurd number of successful positions. Off to a decidedly different start from most musicians, she earned her bachelor’s degree in Political Science and went on to work for a variety of different political campaigns. After, she attended culinary school in Paris and went on to own two highly successful restaurants. As if that wasn’t fulfilling enough, she sold the restaurants and created the Orange Arrow, an anti-restaurant invitation-only underground dinner club whose location remains hidden until you’ve been invited (you can sign up for the opportunity on their website)
When you read the review of the restaurant Reviewer V from Colorado Springs, CO
http://archive.is/lsbYW#selection-4401.0-4405.159
You'll notice something very unsettling about these secret dinner parties and look who else it links to, that's right James Alefantis.
"The group was apparently co-founded by a James Beard award-nominated chef (we have reason to believe its Carole Greenwood, of Buck's Fishing and Camping fame)"
Here is an article from the FAKENEWS Washinton Post on this new fad...
http://archive.is/xNSQx - notice anything eerie when layered over the backdrop of Pizzagate?
I personally thought this was interesting:
"Because the DNA of the magical dinner is unmapped, these events will evolve, month to month, season to season, place to place & plate to plate."

Art is a great way to launder money. No one asks what the artist does with the millions he gets. Perhaps there is a money laundering element going on here as well.
pizzahthrowaway ago
The ARTS are in general, the same lack of value and paper trail applies to films and music as well...and who was involved in "film" making? Our friend Mr. Alefantis with Antinous on his instagram! How strange he's making movies about "secret pizza", it couldnt be that those movies were ALSO being used for money laundering does it? Hmmm I wonder
senpaithatignoresyou ago
Laundering money via film? i never thought to do that, but that makes a lot of sense.
The question is why? Are they laundering the money for child sex trafficking, or are they laundering campaign contributions?
The Clinton foundation is also near by, so this could be a great way to launder non-profit money into political contributions, without anyone noticing.
"oh they just catered pizza, or hot dogs" No one asks questions.
Has that been investigated?

Congratulations, you just discovered art. Did u know? At an art school near you there are probably classrooms where people pose with no clothes on and other people make pictures of them. Even their boobies and everything! Maybe you can blow the lid off this scandal too!
jealoushe ago
Well the one photo is similar to that sculpter that was hanging in the one guys place. Disturbing.
apparatchik1488 ago
Wow yeah, Great addition, I'll add to main thread.
whatonearth ago
Typical pizzagate idiocy. "The guy had an art gallery that exhibited photos of people with stuff written on their faces, obviously he MUST be a child molester!"
banthepingpong ago
Errmmm, yeah no, there are weird photos here. https://web.archive.org/web/20160303001938/http://craig-doty.com/images

Whatonearth thinks pedo art is normal
Scoundrel ago
Retarded, they're called leads, if they're dead ends we remove. Need me to explain anything else to your dumb ass?
whatonearth ago
An art gallery hosting an exhibit that wouldn't have even been controversial 50 years ago, let alone today, is not a "lead". A lead would be, say, finding actual evidence of something illegal.
Scoundrel ago
You're clueless.
llm2016 ago
That's called suspicion. Are you expecting conclusive evidence? Dumbass.

I don't see the relevance of his ethnicity. This is the sort of thing media and shills will use to discredit us as "alt-right" nazis.
whatonearth ago
Dude, you're in a thread posted by a guy with "1488" in his name who has repeatedly referred to himself as a "/pol/ Nazi" in other threads.
apparatchik1488 ago
I am an alt-right Nazi. Problem? I think it is relevant.
