Good post. Sometimes I feel a tiny bit sorry for JA for this huge intrusion in his life. From being a Bon viviant (or whatever it is) & photographed around DC with celebs, he has had the disturbing (to normal decent cultural folks) images/chat on his once public social media dissected. His masters in the public eye can't risk deviant stuff on their social media so JA has born the brunt of it. Due to his wanting to be a big player and advertising his "culture" so desparetly he has given us masses of leads, living up to his name ... Achilles..
He probably likes it. He's infamous now and known by millions. He gets so much support from people on social media. People swarm to him feeling so bad because he's the poor victim. He has sympathizers and probably getting groupies intrigued by him. I don't feel sorry for him. He threw his lifestyle out on Instagram for all to see. He did this to himself.
Just remember.. children sacrificed.. in a way to cause maximum fear to induce maximum power.. thats the modus operandi here.. remember that and empathy goes bye bye.
I think his PR was provided to protect Podesta and Clinton. But that well may have run dry because we have uncovered way too much information to zip this up neatly. Unless they throw him under the bus. That would be so bad. Because he may be closely related to some of this but it will continue of he is replaced. He did overshare. And what more, there are probably 100s of James detailing massive exploitation rings communicating on Instagram. Because they can't help themselves. Achilles.
Agree with you on the cover and them being unable to stop bragging and alluding to what they do.
But the thing about Alefantis is that someone propelled him to where he is now via a paid PR campaign that predates Pizzagate. You can't get media coverage like he's received for the Podunk John Doe that he was. Someone with strong media ties has been pitching Alefantis for a while now.
No one gets that kind of press without a big PR machine behind it. Joe Blow who owns two dirty and over-priced restaurants that are not anything worth writing about, yet over and over again people do.
Whoever his PR company is, they had a great "Earned Media" report to turn in to the person(s) paying their invoice.
Oh these people at Washington Post and Washingtonian have totally installed him into middle-high society based on recommendations by Podesta. They are all in Podesta's and Luzatto's book club or running circle, whatever they call their little coordination meetings. He is not untalented. All the installed people still have to do the work, they just get a leg up via connections. It really does explain a lot of moves I have seen over the years that don't make sense. It's nepotism 2.0 because it's about installing their chosen greater family.

I would tell him the same thing he said to Ryan : "You made this happen".

Twas hubris, his own in fact, that exposed him.
He made the mistake of believing his purchased PR.
