What is the evidence? So far the evidence is that these people have an unhealthy interest in children, and are obsessed with sex and pizza, and are among the most powerful people in the nation, and run propaganda, and fund armies of trolls much like the Chinese Communist Party and almost destroyed the last illusions of the most important democracy in the world. Alefantis should be seriously looked at and put on a sex offenders register for advertising the place as 'kid-friendly' and making that Heay Breathing show all ages, when they talked about sex with children, and got a great response from the crowd. They also talked about killing a baby, it was fucking grotesque. Not normal people, and certainly should never again be allowed within a hundred feet of a child, I'm sure you at least won't attempt to debate that, even if you'd like to.

Alefantis should be seriously looked at and put on a sex offenders register for advertising the place as 'kid-friendly' and making that Heay Breathing show all ages, when they talked about sex with children, and got a great response from the crowd.

Not normal people

A theory I have about pizzagate is that the people who believe it are mostly from rural areas because if you lived in a city these are the kinds of things you would see every once in a while. The punk rock counter-cultural movement is something that is defined by going against the grain of what mainstream society would think is acceptable. The odd art, clothing styles, and the taboo topics they talk about are completely normal. This is a movement that is decades old so not just normal but actually mundane and almost downright quaint at this point. This movement was made to be shocking and to question the order of mainstream society, but the staples of the punk counter-culture movement are maybe 30-40 years old at this point. But maybe if you have never lived in a city this might be strange to you, and I don't mean that to sound condescending it just might be the case.

What I see when I watch the video of heavy breathing is the performer is just doing some crowd work talking to the audience in between songs and is joking around, kind of just riffing whatever comes to mind. She mentions there is a subway above them and the controversy with Jared Fogle (maybe it was around that time that it broke so it was somewhat topical) and then someone makes the comment from the audience that he likes little boys and then she makes the comment "we all have our preferences" as some dark humor.

Something I wish the pizzagate people would ask themselves is "do people behave that way?". If you were a part of a secret pedophile ring would you openly talk about pedophilia in a show that is open to the public? Is everyone in the audience a pedophile?

I think that the reasonable assumption almost everyone would make is that the performer is joking. Us americans don't really have a word for it but the English would say she's being "cheeky" when she jokes about pedophilia like that. Meaning that maybe she shouldn't joke in that way since it's a serious subject but everyone knows it's just for fun. The pizzagate interpretation of that interaction could be right. It could be that that is two pedophiles openly talking about pedophilia, but are people likely to behave that way? To talk about their crimes openly in the public? What does occams razor say in this situation? Which explanation is the simplest and requires the least assumptions?

Something else I wish pizzagate people would do is to use google. What is an all ages show? In the context of a punk rock show at night what does that mean? Here's a wikipedia page that mentions it. . The important part:

The term in this context does not denote a restriction on the thematic or lyrical content of the music.

Take a look at these all ages shows. In this context "all ages" is not synonymous with "kid friendly". It simply means that either there will be no alcohol served or if there is alcohol there will be some system to denote who is of age and who isn't.

I could go on and on here but I think I will call it quits for now with this post. But you make many more assumptions that I would question. You say:

the evidence is that these people have an unhealthy interest in children, and are obsessed with sex and pizza

and

run propaganda, and fund armies of trolls much like the Chinese Communist Party and almost destroyed the last illusions of the most important democracy in the world.

I would also question the assumptions that are implicit in your post. Does alefantis schedule the bands that play at comet? I know he owns a few businesses, maybe he wouldn't have time to do those kinds of things. Maybe comet has an event planner since it does bands and parties, that would be a full workload. Is the heavy breathing performance typical for comet or is it more of an outlier? Are those comments typical of Heavy Breathing or are they outliers? I would think that comments like that actually aren't outliers since they are a rock band but it is an important question to ask instead of assuming what they're like based on a few comments. If you took any venue that has bands play like Comet would it be fair to take the most taboo band that has played there and then extract the most taboo comments that were said and then make characterizations of the owner based on them? I assume that heavy breathing has played in many places, are they all suspect in your mind?

  1. I grew up in a city, have also lived in a small town. 2. I agree about going counter culture, and maybe there are some people who are obsessed with children, joke about pedophilia and killing babies in front of kids at a 'kid-friendly' restaurant who aren't child abusers. I don't think (a)we should take that risk (b) even if we could guarantee they won't abuse, it is still not a healthy environment for a child. Why, why would you intentionally expose children to this. 3. I don't know if you're aware but the Clinton clique, as with most political power groups, have shown themselves to be outrageously arrogant. This likely stems from the fact that the media and political establishment have allowed them to brush off major, major scandals, many times before. 4. Would they do this in the open. Absolutely they would, they have plausible deniability, and as you said, they can just say 'we're being edgy'. Especially in the context of having a close knit nucleus who share the same interests and the power these people hold. You ask yourself this, lets say there is no ring. Are people 'likely' to mention sex with children, "say oh yes he likes little boys" and have a good laugh about it? No people are not likely to act that way, if they conform to basic societal values. 5. I'm aware 'all-ages' is not synonymous with 'kid-friendly', however if you google comet pizza, the first words in the line are "a kid-friendly restaurant". 6. Heavy Breathing are more disgraceful than most I would think, but there aren't many bands that play that a normal person would have in a 'kid-friendly' place. "Sex Stains" come to mind. 7. Any 'kid-friendly' venue that hosts a band with a constant theme of pedophilia related imagery would be suspect, yes absolutely. 8. Looking back thru Occams Razor is a stupid thing to bring up in relation to these types of crimes, one sees the most bizarre behaviour in these circles, and amongst societal deviants.

Dude, it has been explained to pizzagate so many times that the bands do not perform in front of children that at this point you guys are just straight up lying if you still claim the bands perform in front of children.

Comet is "kid friendly" in the sense that it is not like the other sit-down restaurants in that part of town which by and large are fancy grownup date-night sorts of places or booze-soaked happy hour joints. In that context people understand that Comet is basically saying "unlike the other places around here, the staff won't give you the stink-eye if you bring the family." It doesn't mean that Comet is strictly for kids like Chuck E. Cheese or whatever.

Anyway you've been told a million times that the music shows happen late at night after the kitchen closes and it's past little kids' bedtime, so quit lying about it already.

I'm not saying the crowd is full of children, but they are advertised as all-ages at a 'kid-friendly' restaurant and they are talking about sex with children. They should not be anywhere near children.
