Your post is great but his should be in v/pedogate or v/pizzagatewhatever. You don't tie this information into Pizzagate AT ALL in this post, so you are violating almost every single v/pizzagate rule, don't you see that? EDIT: I see you sourced the priest Info from the link :). I will give you a chance to fix this, but I'm telling you it's most likely going to be deleted if you can't find a way to relate this to the pizzagate investigation, thanks!

VOAT RULES FOR V/PIZZAGATE 1: Relevance: Posts must be directly relevant to investigation of Pizzagate: the sexual/physical abuse and/or murder of children by elites, child trafficking organized by elites, and/or cover-up of these activities and/or the protection/assistance provided to the people who engage in said activities. See definition of Pizzagate and examples of relevant posts.

2: Empiricism: EACH factual claim that is not common knowledge must be sourced with a link. If you ask a question: Explain what led to your question and provide sources. If you present opinion/argument, connect your dots and provide sources for them. Avoid baseless speculation. ALL posts must include at least one link.

3: Clarity: All titles must adequately describe post content and must establish direct relevance to pizzagate. EACH link in your post must include a description of content and how the link relates to the post (except when markup is used to embed links in the specific text they support).

4: Please submit indirectly relevant posts to /v/pizzagatewhatever and unsourced questions to /v/AskPizzagate. Sourced activism / publicity posts and memes are allowed. Posts about the subverse itself go to /v/pizzagatemods.

Hey, it totally proves a large scale massive child sexual abuse cover up. More to the point existance of government protected child abuse on a massive scale, with a large number of victims lives destroyed to satisfy the needs of who the authorities refused to arrrest because of their connections for years.

Is that sounding like pizzagate? If it has happened before, does it make /pizzagate/ more plausable. People don't believe pizzagate because they can't believe large scale VIP pedo rings even exist. Let's burst that bubble shall we and leave this post here.

Most people who oppose pizzagate says if it would be going on THE PEDOS would be arresteded already. Massive pedophile rings don't exist - the police would catch one and then catch them all.

This post proves legally the massive scope of PROTECTED VIP PEDOPHILES actually existing through CASE LAW. It validates the plausibility of /pizzagate/ and you want it deleted?

The OTO child sex cult uses that same defense in court here too. We haven't been proven guilty yet - so it never happened. Alefantis and co haven't been investigated because they are gay and only a http://twitter.com/GLLUDC special gay police officer can start an investigation against a homosexual under Wasington DC police internal policy.

Don't do the same angle as the pedo cult to censor the truth about large scale child sexual abuse cover up.

Now, obviously I’m not in a position to determine whether that’s the case.[63]

The applicant called evidence in relation to the O.T.O. from Professor Douglas Ezzy, Professor of Sociology and previously Head of the School of Sociology and Social Work at the University of Tasmania. He is the current president of the Australian Association for the Study of Religion, which is the main academic association for the study of religion in Australia. He is also a member of the Contemporary Pagan Studies Group, the American Academy of Religion and on their steering committee and the editor of the Journal for the Academic Study of Religion, the main Australian based journal that publishes religious studies and academic work.
Professor Ezzy stated in his report[64] he was:

... significantly informed by a 2006 report to VCAT on the OT.O.by Professor Rowan Ireland. I have quoted extensively from that report and provided additional information based on my own research. My information about the O.T.O.is based on reading of various Crowley and Thelemic texts, academic literature about the O.T.O. and similar new religious movements and informal conversations I have had with other academics about the O.T.O.

Professor Ezzy described the OTO as a small international religious movement modeled on Freemasonry and heavily influenced by the writings of Aleister Crowley who became the head for much of the first half of the twentieth century.[65] The report stated that the OTO is clearly a religious organisation; it has rules of association, the ritual practices are clearly set out and policed and there is an established set of interpretations of religious beliefs and texts.[66]
In response to the question[67]-

Do you think it likely if the OTO was practicing child sacrifice, paedophilia and cannibalism that may have actually come to the attention of law enforcement?

Professor Ezzy said:

Yes, indeed.... I would say it was extremely unlikely that this is a systemic or organisationally organised aspect of the OTO.

Professor Ezzy stated in his report:[68]

This ezzy pedo did perjury in court and is going to jail soon don't you worry. He used lies like - WE HAVEN'T BEEN CAUGHT YET - SO IT ISN'T HAPPENING...

Now when someone gets caught and the case exposes A MASSIVE COVERUP showing that Pizzagate could be real too - you want to delete the thread - a thread that shows there has been as big as pizzagate before if not bigger?

CC @KillallPedos

P.S. Is this person still a mod? https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1586429/7735605 I got banned for proving a mod wrong on that issue. half the comments got censored but I agreed in the settlement not republish.

Please don't delete this whole post because my comments triggered the pedophilia normalizing elite and the LGBTI puppets that wont denounce their own leadership (like Harry Hay) being OTO child sex cult pedos and NAMBLA members - as proven on Camera.

Honeybee_ ago

Yea... so you just proved my point... take your first paragraph and make that your post and we are all good, just follow the rules so when people come to v/pizzagate they see Pizzagate Investigations... get it?

hojuruku ago

it shouldn't need to be spelt out in the OP too appease someone who wants my comments in this thread deleted more than the OP.

Surely people can just process the facts in the OP and not be told what to think right?

I like to assume that the audience at least half of it here posses critical thinking. Is it your policy we should assume they don't as an excuse to censor?

Honeybee_ ago

Nobody wants to censor anything, there are many other threads including v/pedogate that look at the larger issue as a whole. v/pizzagate is specifically pizzagate related content relating to Comet Ping Pong, Podesta, WikiLeaks etc etc
