Fully Sourced Executive Summary of Pizzagate Evidence
We would like to update the subverse sidebar with a "For Newcomers" section that provides a few up-to-date links to introductory material on Pizzagate.
The section has to be as concise as possible, I'm picturing it in the following format:
For Newcomers
To find the best redpilling material out there, we want to crowdsource these three links.
A good candidate material is:
- relatively short (consumable in 20-30 minutes);
- well put-together;
- sourced;
- objective;
- non-dramatizing;
- non-violent.
We're aware that it's not necessarily possible to match all these criteria in a single material, but we're hopeful to find the closest match. We're not looking for material that offer the most details and evidence, as it would be overwhelming for people who first hear about this. What we're looking for is the best introduction: a video, an article, and a /v/pizzagate thread that help provide a quick and accurate mental model, don't smell of cheesy conspiracy theory, and inspire further research. Think of these links as the PR of this investigation.
With that in mind, please recommend your favorite Pizzagate summary link in the comment section, and make sure to write a few words about why you think we should go with that one. We won't necessarily go with the links that get the most upvotes, this is not a numbers game, but we will take that into consideration, and all in all try to make the best decision.
Thank you for your help with this.

@burnerdrone04 @4thesakeofthekids @anon_sense @reasonedandinformed I've created a draft, based largely on your suggestions. This isn't necessarily the final version, and I've deviated a bit from the originally planned format in order to deliver a hopefully more natural flow of information to newcomers. Please let me know what you think so far.

@burnerdrone04 @4thesakeofthekids @anon_sense I like this but had a question about the third bullet (thread), which circularly points here. So would the thread be a high-level summary (separate thread)?

You're looking at the wrong thing, sorry for not being more obvious. My draft (with four links) is added at the bottom of the post. What you're looking at is the original outline, I didn't want to edit that for clarity and transparency.

OK. Now that I have seen it, I have a few suggestions:
How it all started (101)YouTube (youtube.com | 21:45 | Nov 2016) - I like this video
Why googling this is useless (voat.co) - Thanks. I would like to add the names of identified judges/officers who have provided cover as another thing to expose/track. I might create a separate thread and link to it.
An objective coverage by a CBS News reporter who then disappearsYouTube (youtube.com | 5:47 | Jan 2017) - Ben did not disappear but went dark in social media. Maybe: "An objective coverage by a CBS News reporter whose social media accounts went dark posting. CBS affiliate took down the video from its site within 24 hours without explanation"
A great external summary of Pizzagate [I think this is powerful as images convey things more quickly than a page of heavy text with links]
Our executive summary of Pizzagate evidence (voat.co) - I still like this, with links for a deeper dive in the thread. It would supplement https://dcpizzagate.wordpress.com (bullet above).
Thanks.

Didn't he? Has he been seen since?
I didn't include that because it's extremely long. I wanted this entire section to be consumable in less than an hour. Maybe we could use this link instead of the executive summary, but the two together kind of beat the purpose of a concise newbie section.

Someone made a video in the last week about him being back on the air (but appeared to be toned down a lot): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhs-5Fr5Uns

I had read that he is still on the air but could not find online proof. I am not in the market, and the CBS46 website http://www.cbs46.com does not show recent activity for him. I just called the station and confirmed that he is still anchoring their evening news (4-6 pm). I am pretty confident that he is back on the air but still puzzled by the whole going dark/Tzusday thing...other than creating some attention and drama around his pizzagate piece.
Maybe embed the dcpizzagate.wordpress.com link at the TOP of our executive summary, with this descriptor? dcpizzagate.wordpress.com (a very comprehensive compendium of some of the key early research, with many graphics/images from those suspected of involvement)

Hey, thanks for investigating this, very much appreciated! I will change the text on that bullet point then, I'm certainly glad to see he's alive and, hopefully, well.
I'll think about the dcpizzagate.wordpress.com situation a little more.
Edit: How about An objective report by a CBS News anchor, rapidly scrubbed afterwards?

I like the edited comments.

Thanks for the feedback. This might be the final version.
