So last night I was pleasantly surprised. We had to take my toddler to the ER because they broke their arm climbing something a little too high while playing, and so we rushed him to the ER of a children's hospital immediately. When we got called to the triage station, I noticed a fairly conspicuous sign with the FBI seal on it on the wall with about 5 languages on it stating that if you or someone you know is a victim of human trafficking please alert one of the doctors or nurses or any of the staff on hand and they will work to protect you with the aid of the FBI. The nurse noticed that I was reading this piece of paper and a few minutes later the doctor kind of stepped to the side and asked me some questions 1-on-1 about what happened to my toddler, and said that him and his nurse noticed I was reading about human trafficking and that paper. I just quietly explained to him that I'm a researcher on the internet about human trafficking and he just sort of looked around and said, I and three of my nurses are all pizzagate researchers, and we've actually saved about 2 dozen people over the course of 1 year just intervening on what they have seen working at a children's hospital, then asked me if I was on Voat and I said yeah, and we shook hands and it was just amazing. I've not really said much to people outside of family or on here but to find another pizzagate researcher just really made everything that we're doing worthwhile. I know you are probably reading about this Dr. with the Italian last name last night, and I think what you and plenty of the rest of us are doing are amazing!

My friends are, for the most part, Democrats. I was treated to the sound of minds snapping shut when I broached the topic. Several actually said they preferred not to listen to anything that did not make them feel good. That is something I realized, that many people live in a fantasy world they have created to feel comfortable in, and anything that threatens that world is simply not looked at, and is shut out. Several repeated the 'fake news' mantra.

Be painfully considerate with close friends and family. Consider your sphere of influence. Don't let Pizzagate cause you to blow up potential bridges, or ruin your happiness at regular family and social events. I've found that for now, limiting personal and social media contact with my nut job friends - and upping contact with old and new like-minded friends - is productive, encouraging, and makes life far less stressful. You never know, our diehard deniers may get redpilled someday, but they'll be more willing to talk about it, when they percieve they've done it on their own. I'm holding off my bridge-burning of shit-stupid friends for the apocalypse.

Good advice.

You can't teach it to them, they have to discover it themselves.

It reminds me of what was said of Scientology. You can't make people believe it's absolutely an evil cult, they've gotta figure this out on their own. IMO, you can maybe assist with some eye opening documentary, or a really well done webpage. I'm never sure if I should be sending people here publicly, but I do give them the address here if we're speaking person to person. In the end we do have to open our own eyes, that way there's some real passion when fighting for these children. We see it, more and more normal people will eventually become furious. (I've found its alefantis's own IG that makes jaws drop, his big mouth will bring down this ship!) But if some drowsy people are also following, suddenly read something, not so drowsy anymore. Reading discussions sometimes is the key, and that may be an alarm clock of sorts. I take more in sometimes reading along, sometimes videos. Presenting both! They can choose or look at all of it.
I spread the message, answer what I can (trafficking is serious here so it doesn't take any awakening, they're awake here), I send them to various primers, and then I keep it movin. I do think my daughters Uni could use some posters and fliers. When I'm over this plague I'm headed for their rec center. We keep spreading it, it'll eventually come together. I just hope it's not very long. If only I had one superpower.

People (older at least) want stuff that looks like 'real news,' so the Ben Swann piece is good to show. That's about the only thing my wife would look at. Some people just want to go back to sleep. Or to Dancing w/ The Stars. Or partying. But freedom isn't free ... some Greek ruler once passed a law that made it illegal for a citizen not to be interested in a public controversy/scandal.

I will have to edit and add our local news link. Today they focused on trafficking and they said "the way it's set up today, it's online, it's like ordering a pizza" My husband's eyes got wide, he replayed it and said he believes now. We've always been a bad area for trafficking, but being awareness month I think arresting some folks hurting kids and trafficking to celebrate awareness right. Encourage victims, come forward...
This month is a GREAT month to redpill people you know without sounding insane because of the awareness month. I am using that too!
Maybe pizza just means a piece of something you can't speak aloud of...drugs, all of the evil things, in this case.

Ha, that's a great story, and good for your husband. That's awfully coincidental that they would place pizza and trafficking in the same context. It would be nice to see that local news clip. You might remember the piece the MSM did on the woman supposedly groped by Trump on the airplane. It was professionally done, and looked believable. That's what pizzagate needs, a well-done (professional) documentary. It's just that that's what people are used to - and they don't want to (or have time) to research, they want it served up to them.
