Relevancy: Ed Buck is a longtime friend and donor of HRC and Jerry Brown. Here's a post that outlines the ties: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/2054740
This is another update of the story of Gemmel Moore, a young sex worker who was found dead at Ed Buck's home. It was initially ruled a suicide, but as you probably all know, at the mother's insistence, the LA Sheriff's department has reopened the Gemmel Moore case based on new evidence. Here's the link that corroborates that.
http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-democratic-donor-overdose-20170814-story.html
Some of that evidence was what was contained in Gemmel's handwritten journal. If you read through it, it's heartbreaking, but there's been a new development.
Another victim has stepped forward saying pretty much what Gemmel's mother alleged.

“It was like a little porno place,” he continues. “A little place. A movie little porno place and he walked up and you know he’s checking and he’s looking. Checked me out. Got in his car. ... I didn’t know his name was Ed Buck. I didn’t know that was him.”
Blake who is 30-years-old, says that on his first meeting with the wealthy LA Democratic donor they sat in his car negotiating. He says that Buck asked him if he did crystal meth and was interested in “PnP.”
“PnP” is short for Party n’ Play among gay men. “Party” refers to drug use- most often meth and “Play” refers to sex.
“And it was kind of bothering me cause I’m like you have all this money that you’re giving to dogs and fur and Hillary [Clinton] and all the other stuff.”
Note the code words used. Here's a link to the Gemmel's journal.

Here's a West Hollywood (WEHO) Times article with comments about Buck by local politicians as well as a sex worker called "Damar Love" who provides pictures he says he took during an encounter with Buck: http://www.wehotimes.com/allegations-death-sex-worker-plaque-influential-west-hollywood-political-insider/ Edit: Openly gay former West Hollywood Mayor Steve Martin is interviewed and seems to know Buck well. From the article: "If there was ever anybody in West Hollywood whose bed you expected a dead body to turn up in, it was Ed Buck.”
I can't help but wonder whether ex-Mayor Steve Martin is the same "Steve" identified by "Blake" in the link provided above by quantokitty http://www.jasmyneacannick.com/after-gemmel-moores-death-new-victim-comes-forward-and-recounts-ed-bucks-gates-of-hell/ From this link: "Blake talked about Buck’s friend Steve who lives in the same apartment building. 'That’s his [Buck’s] buddy. Every time there’s an issue or a problem with the cops he always running to Steve.' ”
I do not find evidence that the ex-mayor ever lived in the same building as Buck, but the fact that the Steve referred to by Blake apparently had influence with the local cops does make you wonder.
Edit: Here’s a data point that ties the Steve named by Blake as Buck’s neighbor a bit more closely to the ex-mayor: The ex-mayor was working to preserve a 1915 era home located just one block away and across the street from Buck’s residence on N. Laurel Avenue in West Hollywood and have it designated as a cultural landmark. He would likely have been there frequently.
From Martin’s website bio: “After leaving the City Council Steve was drafted into the efforts to “Save Tara”, a cultural landmark on Laurel Avenue.” http://www.stevemartinweho.org/bio.html The address of the Tara building is 1343 N. Laurel Ave. Buck lived at 1234 N. Laurel Ave. This WEHOville article gives Buck’s address and unusual life history--also, by the way, mentions Voat and Pizzagate: http://www.wehoville.com/2017/08/16/who-is-ed-buck/

A big fat Upvoat for you!
Amazing work. When I re-read the link, yes, it does fit that Buck would run to Steve to run interference with the cops. And maybe he didn't live there. Maybe he kept a crashpad there so they could party. Martin does try to be distancing himself from this. Talking about Buck's erratic personality disorder. If he's the "Steve" mentioned, he has a pretty huge personality disorder himself!
And what's with the meth epidemic in WeHo? Thought everything was fine in PedoWood.

Thanks, Q. You've been doing great work on this, as you always do. I too thought Martin went overboard on the distancing of himself from Buck. If he actually was found to be Buck's "fixer," I imagine he'd be looking at some kind of obstruction of justice charge at least--if the local authorities weren't compromised--so that's a big if. I wondered the same thing about a crash pad. The meth epidemic is a mystery.

Okay, so I do a quick dumpster dive re this meth epidemic and the first link that comes up? This one:
The article by the Pew Charitable Trusts. The Pew Charitable Trusts is haunted by none of than Evie's Crib Tamera Luzzatto:
The next link is this one:
It talks about Twin plagues: Meth rises in shadow of opioids. OPIOIDS? Oh, dear Lord, I found so much on the epidemic of opioid addiction. It was linked to the dems and I never got around to writing the post. I don't know what I did with those links, but I hope I can find them.
Definitely, this was planned out and is well-financed. As for Gemmel, I fought for his story. I knew it was big and that if followed would lead to that scummy underbelly of pizzagate.

Quanto, yes, I believe it is planned out, and this could be a big reason why (taken from your aol.com link):
"Kristin Korpela, head of the Dunn County Department of Human Services, recalled having one of her social workers visit a young mother in jail, where she voluntarily gave up her three kids.
"Meth," the mom told the social worker, "makes you forget that you ever had children."
Next door, in Chippewa County, Human Services Director Larry Winter has seen out-of-home placements for children surge from 28 in 2013 to 103 in just the first five months of 2017. Three-quarters of those placements are related to meth abuse, he said."
Makes the kid snatching easy.

This is so disturbing. And it looks like disadvantaged families are being affected which hits the entire community and destabilizes it.
I'm going to attempt to find those links. I think they're going to be impossible to find after all this time, but I will try.

Great work! They always go to the weak, drug-addled and poor. Those kids are just sitting ducks waiting for all the "love" they will receive from their new foster family. It's all part of the plan.

Thanks. It's pathetic how they take advantage.
Just pathetic.
