+FriesischShipping - I have been working on putting everything together and posting on Voat, but you beat me to it! Super job, man!
I just want to say that I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment of what COMET PING PONG is. I have always felt that many investigators were making a mistake, by assuming the location of Comet Ping Pong was the actual den of pedo-sin, itself. Rather, I have always assumed that Comet was a showcase venue - a place for people to come into, and see & “place their order.” A place to point out and choose a live child from the back room, or one from the bar’s video screen, or maybe even one from an online resource. I view Alefantis as a carnival barker, who sells tickets to get into the freak show. I see him as the one describing the attractions and emphasizing the variety, novelty, and beauty of the children they have to show (see Wikipedia's definition of a "barker"). But I do NOT see Alefantis as a person conducting live orgies and seances in the backroom of his restaurant. That has always seemed farfetched to me. I see Comet as a showroom den, themed & decorated in such a way (perverted artwork and live shows referencing pizza/sex with children) to let others who are in-the-know feel comfortable that they are in the right place. Anyway, for me, James Alefantis = Carnival Barker
Since the beginning ppl have pointed out how weird it is that Comet PP so often advertises for kids and "all ages"...Any shot the reason Comet is SO OVERLY "kid/fam friendly" is so that its not out of place when the kids being "shown off"are there. In other words, local families really bring their kids in all the time for ping pong and pizza with nothing weird going on as far as they know. Meanwhile 1 or two of the kids there may be a victim....might be a good cover.

I played music concerts at clubs when I was younger and we always put "all ages" down to signify that it was a non-alcohol serving venue.
