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.

Just a note from a newbie: I may be a Voat newbie but have researched Ritualistic Child Sex Abuse albeit mainly in the UK for long before Pizzagate erupted but I came to Voat to learn more, and I have; much more; I've read obsessively since joining and tried to have an input where I could. But more importantly, I've seen that sometimes big rewards can often be gleaned from the smallest and seemingly insignificant details, and because I'm as committed and determined as the rest to add to the information collective, coupled with an enthusiasm to be part of the cause I simply posted an article bearing details that seemed new to me that may well be of interest and lead us further. I've had to learn, and am still learning my way around such forums; I'd never heard of 'shills', I'm learning what 'Mods' are (but not how they become so, as yet) and I've had to navigate through the multitude of acronyms that are now second nature. My point is that my inexperience means I have not the discernment skills (yet) to recognise 'disinfo' or 'shill' commenting but this should not make my efforts any the less valid, but to be immediately decried as such for my early efforts to contribute is both discouraging and disheartening. Yes I will learn in time, and yes I'll get the confidence to tell you to get lost when you do it, eventually. But surely encouragement is more productive? It's interesting that Voat is currently trying to organise and compile meta data as an easier introduction to the depths of Pizzagate and bring them up to speed with where we've (or you've if you prefer) reached so far, to encourage new participants and voices. https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1704851. But it's worth considering that information is potentially being passed by or not posted by others who may be new and unfamiliar just like me? But they end up being too scared to input their finds or views for fear of being immediately castigated for showing their newness or naïveté! Give people a chance sometimes. You had to learn. Help. Don't hinder. We're all after the same end result.....(except for those shills - right?). :)
