What We Are Up Against (pizzagate)

submitted ago by truthstrangerthanfic

So I was all excited tonight to find this on the front page of Reddit:

Who Took Johnny (2014) - A missing child leads to the discovery of a much more sinister pedophile ring.

I said, "Wow! What a great opportunity for people to get red pilled and have their eyes opened."

But then I read the comments. Did searches for "pizza" and "pedo" to make sure I didn't miss anything.

I am posting this not to discourage us because we continue to make great progress, but just as a reminder of what we are up against.

What is the result of those endless mainstream "instantly debunked" stories? Wikipedia: debunked. Snopes: debunked.

What you get is these regurgitated talking points, mixed with their own confusion and disinterest:

...and then the RNC tried to use "Pizzagate" as ammunition against the Clintons, so it became a hot button issue.

Or, it was 4chan making things up, as they tend to do

The RNC didn't start it. They did try to run with it, or at least Trump did. But pizza gate definitely came straight from 4chan, and they made it up.

It doesn't exist. They claimed they were keeping kids in a basement that literally does not exist. That pizza parlor has never had a basement.

Its not fucking real. Saying "I don't know if pizzagate is real". Is like saying "I don't know if the loch ness monster is real". They're fucking fake.

Pizzagate found there was enough concerning evidence to warrant an investigation. I don't think most consider it hardcore proof. Because Chief Newsham is a friend of comet, there will not be a local investigation.

The burden of proof for probably cause to warrant an investigation is actually quite high.

You would have to prove the person has committed a crime, or that CPP was the scene of a crime to search it. And to prove that, you have to have evidence of a victim and a crime otherwise it's against the 4th amendment.

I haven't seen any verified victims, only children in photos people think are creepy and 'pedo-like'. Circumstantial at best.

This is a great comment and will probably get buried. You are correct and I am glad for the fourth amendment and would like it to be respected even for Comet Ping Pong. It would be legal and possible for a police officer to go ask the owner if they could just look around to dispel the rumors, they could say yes, and the police could say they looked into it but found nothing. But what happened was the police chief first said they had looked into it, then said they hadn't, then said they wouldn't. Then he goes to the 'Stand with Comet' event.

I was under the impression they said they looked at it when the shooter went into it. Any source for them backtracking on it?

You can still FOIA them yourself if you are not convinced.
