Every person was given a little blurb of copy. Eater DC pulled out these quotes
Then, coming in at #49, Alefantis makes the list as both a "restaurateur and bon vivant" thanks to the "liberal twentysomethings in khakis" who eat at Comet Ping Pong and the "[m]ore established progressives" who flock to Buck's Fishing & Camping. Also, "If you don't know him, you aren't wearing your scarf right." Well OK then.
His "power" seems to be on the social scene because people eat in his restaurants. You have heard of the idea of a "trendsetter."
Sure. But OK. So he is such a "trend-setter" that he has 13 other properties in Washington D.C., McLean VA, Falls Church VA, and NY City? He sells THAT MUCH PIZZA? No way. And AGAIN, back to the Clinton Foundation (which is why I even care about the guy; I am not a sex-ring RICO cop) why is George Soros and the CF donating to him? Something else has to be going on. And I am sorry, but such a "trend-setter" would surely garner the interest of some lifestyle magazine editor who would have done at least one piece telling of his rise to fame.
I assume he must have been pretty well off to begin with, considering the part of town he grew up in. And the Soros thing wasn't a donation, it clearly says it was a payment for catering services. Ask anyone you know who has had to put on a large catered event... maybe you have someone in your family who had to foot the bill for a large wedding reception... they can tell you how quickly the costs pile up.
You have to connect the dots and not take things at face value. So, George Soros, the multi-billionaire, who lives in New York City and jets all over the world...the guy who has destroyed four countries and his trying to destroy this one, who "broke the Bank of England", calls James Alefantis for catering services? Why? Isn't he more of a lobster tail kinda guy? Add in all the weird crap going on at CPP, toss in their "art" and "music", and something else is happening here. Not to mention what I said in my article about Benghazi. WHY is he visiting the White House?
