Now check the review at Amazon by Folantin of the book:
"The story is narrated by middle-aged Humbert Humbert. He's a pedophile--although he's tried denying it, tried disguising it, and tried channeling his baser instincts, but as luck would have it, Humbert finds himself as the lodger at the home of a buxom, lonely widow, Charlotte Haze and 12-year-old daughter, Lolita. Humbert doesn't particularly even like Lolita--he actually finds her rather dull, but she becomes a vessel for the fantasies left by Humbert's unfulfilled first love affair."
Although he phrased it poorly, Lolita is a very popular and well-known book. I would not consider it evidence per se. Hell, I've read the book. It's pretty good, and Nabokov really does interesting things with making you rationalize along with the Narrator.
My point was definitely more of how have you never heard of Lolita, not that it wasn't relevant. It isn't conclusive evidence but certainly I wouldn't associate myself with that damned book.
I'm honestly starting to be driven away from the investigation by the ultra-paranoid people who believe any dissent must be coming from some faceless propagandist body. I'm sure there are propagandists on this platform, but the absurdity really becomes apparent when you try to comment something to either clarify a misunderstanding or express a perspective and you get called a shill.
Have you no culture at all? Even most people I know with very little knowledge of the arts are aware of the prominence of the book. I'm not saying it's definitely not evidence, but have a little perspective my man.
Listen man I totally believe that there is some insidious, sick activity going on. I've been behind the investigation since the beginning, and have posted on voat (though I deleted my earlier post which was actually pointing out shill twitter accounts lmao). So the irony of you calling me a shill is palpable. I know that any response that you don't like is going to be met with "shill alert," but I have hope that somewhere inside you will actually consider what I'm about to say. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a shill. I totally agree with the aim of this investigation, I agree that the Podestas are probably linked with clandestine human trafficking, and this probably extends to the Clinton Foundation as well. If this investigation is to arrive at the truth, we need to not simply plug our ears and call everyone who says something we don't like a shill. It simply isn't productive.
Any response I don't like will not necessarily be met with 'shill alert'....the problem is that this site has been overrun with shills. Literally our entire hot page is virtually nothing but old news rehashed, news from 'Russia', and posts like this one with random photos and person who have a VERY LIMITED connection to the thrust of what is being investigated.
I have been trying to warn people.
We need to get a new site. This place is full of forum-slides, emotional bagging, concern trolls and others. Virtually nothing of merit is making it to the top anymore. #Jesus

Interesting! Look at the book "Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov":

Lolita is a popular book idiot. I know a lot of people who have read it, though it is regarded as unsettling
VieBleu ago
Go ahead, talk some more about it.

Ohh, yeah, definitely not relevant when investigating a pedophilia ring... Sleep CTR.

And everyone brags about their fucking first edition books, when it's a classic.

And we're off! ....Down the CTR forum slide pole.

What's CTR?

You've been here 12 days.
Control the Record (CTR) is David Brock's paid-shill site sent to social media places like this to spread disinformation/misinformation.
But you knew that?

Thank you for clarifying.
