@Birdzeyeview is James Alefantis. Consider the following.

I'm not aware of any point where he comes out and admits it, but go through his comments (linked above). He confronts every poster in this community with unmitigating hostility, ESPECIALLY when it comes to posts that have to do with JA. He even defended JA's death threats against Ryan.

In his opinion, Pizzagate is entirely made up - yet it doesn't appear that he has any other interests; as far as I can tell, he has never made any posts anywhere but /v/pizzagate. Fiona Barnett, Cathy O'Brien, David Seaman, Ryan O'Neal, and Ben Swann are all frauds who are guilty of slander. His comments about O'Neal are of particular interest, given that we know JA sent him death threats. Here's one: "He's a mate of James' and they cooked up the whole thing as a joke. The money for the Tshirts goes directly to James. ...poetic Justice?"

But later on he says: "Hey Ryan is my good buddy. We sold over 2,000 T-shirt this week and It's me that had them made. Ryan got an hourly rate for the videos, it's all good in the land of the free market :) "

Here is is replying directly to a comment addressed to James Alefantis: "oh my Gosh I am so very worried right about now"

I think that's as close to an admission as you will get.

When he began to post in /v/pizzagate, a number of users fingered him as James Alefantis. I don't believe he ever once denied it.

So what happened two months ago that would motivate JA to stop posting here? Was it Voat's funding crisis? When did Alex Jones apologize to JA -- could it have been that? Please leave any ideas you might have in the comments.
