This is related to Pizzagate since there is legitimate question of whether John Podesta and Huma Abedin whose HQ in Brooklyn Heights may have had been involved in any subterranean activity in the area.
The religious organization has sold numerous Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO properties to the Kushner Cos., which Jared Kushner headed until he stepped aside to serve as senior adviser to his father-in-law, President Trump.
Kushner Cos. and its investment partners paid $340 million for the Watchtower's Brooklyn Heights headquarters complex at 25-30 Columbia Heights — which has an iconic red neon sign that says “Watchtower” on it.
In DUMBO, Kushner Cos. and its investment partners paid $345 million for 85 Jay St., a parking lot with about 1 million square feet of development rights. And the company and its investment partners paid $375 million for a complex with former Bible-printing plants on Prospect, Adams, Sands and Pearl streets that it has turned into a techie-friendly office campus called DUMBO Heights.
The Watchtower, which has sold off many of its Brooklyn Heights properties, is starting to shut down the tunnels that connect them. Last week, the Jehovah's Witnesses deactivated one of the tunnels that connect their big Brooklyn Heights residential buildings by filling it with concrete.
The Watchtower's pedestrian passageways form an underground network extending from 124 Columbia Heights, which overlooks the Promenade, to The Towers, a former hotel on the corner of Clark and Willow streets.
The Watchtower closed off part of this underground network on Monday, April 17, 2017.
Andrew Porter, who has lived in Brooklyn Heights since 1968, saw a truck outside 124 Columbia Heights pouring concrete into the tunnel “through a raised access hatch” that day, he told the Brooklyn Eagle.
The concrete-filled tunnel stretches between 124 Columbia Heights and 107 Columbia Heights, which is a gated 11-story residential property with a landscaped courtyard.
City Department of Transportation permits indicate that both a concrete truck and “cellular concrete” pumping equipment were needed for the tunnel deactivation.
Cellular concrete, which is also called Foamcrete, is a lightweight cement-based material with lots of gas bubbles in it.
According to the Transportation Department permits, the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York was in charge of the job.

Thanks for taking the time to answer.
I didn't know that. That's interesting. Do you agree that your article says in 2009 the JW signed an agreement with the DOT to fill in the tunnels and that this plan to fill these tunnels was years before we knew there would be any presidential campaign headquarted in Brooklyn in 2015 and 2016?
OK. I see where you are at. The tunnels are several steps down from the beginning of this case. And you looks like you seem to believe that John Podesta is involved in such activities. Is that accurate?
Personally, I have not seen any evidence that John Podesta is involved in such activities and the chain of steps that builds on this original premise is unsupported speculation and that speculation is far from proven. So to me I see this as a layering of doubtful thing on top of doubtful thing which increases the unlikelihood of the final step. Mathematically, this means you are getting further and futher away from 1 aka 100% and getting closer to zero % which each step. Metaphorically, it's building a house of cards where the slightest stressing the evidence brings the whole structure down.
This is why I kept asking you about the Brooklyn tunnels......because it's far from proven they used tunnels in DC, it's just speculation.
To respond to your points. 1. I think GW is pretty dubious. How does he connect the Awan Brothers to stolen cars? I can't find reliable info on this.
So you are speculating a connection simply based on proximity, correct? Is there anything else that raise a red flag for you?
CMP was the group who did the videos. O'Keefe does not show up in the Wikipedia entry. What is listed in Wikipedia is that 12 different states looked into these charges
One of those states was Indiana. LIke in all the states they found Planned Parenthood had committed no wrongdoing
I'll try to talk about both the reasoning and the thinking because both work together. As I have mentioned a few times. All people are prone to conspiratorial thinking. We are simply less rational than we think. Our brain has some cognitive glitches and logic reasoning is something that needs to be studied and practiced or else we can trick ourselves
It's not affected by left/right politics. It's not affected by level of education.
.....I'll edit and up this more later....off to bed.
