Like I said, I am new to voat and to pizzagate, but I'm having a very hard time trying to navigate this topic. I know I'm a new comer, but we really need to get some organizational procedure here if we want to make any kind of difference. Maybe that exists already and I just don't know what I'm doing, but if someone could fill me in I would greatly appreciate it.

PS - everyone involved in this open source investigation should take necessary means to protect yourself. I've decided to just use one device for this topic and to be on the safe side, I am using IVPN when doing anything related. Last night a very strange thing happened to my computer. I was just sending an email on the topic and all of the sudden my computer froze. CTRL+ALT+DEL had no affect, i was left completely helpless (was not using vpn at this point). All of the sudden, my camera light came on for at least 30 seconds. I could not move my mouse, keyboard, nothing. I even tried holding down the power button which should bypass everything and just shut my computer down, but that didn't work. After about 10 seconds of holding the button, the camera light went off and I regained control. Coincidence, maybe, but I've had this computer for almost 2 years and never had a freeze up. Plus I've been in IT for almost 30 years, never seen anything like it. Moral of story, be careful. Could be nothing, could be something, but I will er on the side of caution. Thanks.

I'm having a very hard time trying to navigate this topic.

Most of our resources have been wiped from the web.

we really need to get some organizational procedure

That was tried, it broke. v/pizzagate isn't even the place where most actual investigators post anymore. You have to find stuff all around the boards.

but if someone could fill me in I would greatly appreciate it

Not likely, unfortunately with all of the shit that has happened you'll have to gain trust. You know, normal opsec stuff.

VPNs are not as secure as you may think. They obfuscate your IP address, but the fact that you're using a middleman that can inject code is kind of stupid.

CTRL+ALT+DEL

Use Linux. You should know it's better hardened then windows.

Hey you have a remote access trojan / remote administrator tool (rat). Looks like you already picked up a friend. http://resources.infosecinstitute.com/remote-access-tool/

Unplug the machine / battery dip shit.

Plus I've been in IT for almost 30 years, never seen anything like it.

I've been in IT for 7, this shit is normal.

but I will er on the side of caution.

Bit late for that.

I've noticed that ... sadly.

Discussions on voat vanish from the top, no matter how bigly they are discussed, and there is no way to bring them back up again, because of this incredibly stupid idea, to rank topics by the rate of new upvotes. No way that thoughtful and long discussions draw the attention they need.
