Relevant to Pizzagate as article directly addresses the Tuscon child trafficking story as another "conspiracy theory" and Pizzagate is the "forebearer" of the group of nutjobs. There are some pretty big, gaping holes in the story, and the 4 word name guy seems "off" ( he is not a Vet, if I understand correctly). Not much is known, but in 2015 VOP seemed to be attempting to do good work: http://www.azfamily.com/story/30331814/veterans-group-aim-to-help-homeless-vets Did VOP guy turn? Set up? Trap?

This is where it gets important - Tuscon.com is a Gannett property. Gannett is USA Today and a zillion other properties. There is a reason they are in every hotel, every morning, for free. Just like CNN is anywhere and everywhere. This messaging will be pumped out to mass eyes and ears. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gannett_Company - Gannett is a couple miles from the CIA. Always has been.

So if we apply that logic, their #1 goal was discrediting Pizzagate, which we all assume is real. Why would they conflate Pizzagate with the human trafficking story which was already discredited? It's NEWSPORN. Discredit. Control the narrative.

From this article, 2 days ago:

"This kind of allegation wouldn’t have had any power, though, if it weren’t for its antecedent, Pizzagate, and the wild story that grew out of it.

Pizzagate was a conspiracy theory that, boiled down, said Hillary Clinton and members of her campaign were trafficking children for sex from the basement of a Washington, D.C., pizzeria.

It turns out, the pizzeria doesn’t even have a basement, as a North Carolina man found out when he showed up armed with an AR-15 to liberate the captive kids and fired a shot into the ceiling."

Sound familiar? Maybe, just maybe the VOP guy is the Edgar Maddison Welch of Tuscon. Maybe Craig got in for a close look and backed off? Not everything is what it seems. You cannot always decide true/false in a matter of days. Long game. Not internet time. The eye-in-the-sky could have been watching the entire time and these do-gooder dufus walked stumbled across this during surveillance. Lots of things happen.

"..the Justice Department has been quietly arresting thousands of pedophiles under Trump’s tenure.

Craig Sawyer has been a believer in Q Anon and he played a role in supporting Lewis Arthur’s Tucson pedophile-ring conspiracy.

Sawyer, a former Navy Seal, has established a group called Vets 4 Child Rescue, which purports to interrupt child trafficking, and came to Tucson after hearing about the alleged sex-trafficking site here.

KGUN 9 interviewed Sawyer and treated him as if he were an expert.

Sawyer declared himself a believer but noted that he had been misinformed — he thought children had actually been found on the site."

See how Gannet is conflating actors and narratives? Discredit by weaving the narrative. Let's see what happens. At this point, anyone aligning with the viewpoint of state-controlled propaganda, in particular this article, should be suspect.

"Gannett Company, Inc. is a publicly traded American media holding company headquartered in Tysons Corner, Virginia, near McLean in Greater Washington DC.[3][4] It is the largest U.S. newspaper publisher as measured by total daily circulation."
