EDIT: My response after your feedback, 9 hours later:
I'm not sure why this has been downvoted so heavily (not that I care on a personal level). I haven't seen any arguments that the main point (see title) of this post is in error. Certainly my earlier post was, when I claimed that we didn't invent the term pizzagate, but the fact that a well-respected (to the uninitiated masses) publication outright lied, and based her claim (the definition of "pizzagate" had 100% agreement by all of us, that Hillary Clinton ran a child sex slave ring out of the basement of Comet Pizza) on supposed comments made by anonymous users of the internet (I have yet to see any of these comments) is a most serious issue.
I suppose the origins of the term is not as important as the fact that the framework of it, and the narrative surrounding it, is completely bogus. And the mainstream media was so persistent that everyone was affected. People are ashamed to admit if they give any aspect of this any credibility, diminishing any chance we have of getting serious traction on this case and ever seeing justice. Luckily though, we have God on our side.
Thanks for your input and feedback @Vindicator @MeatballPizza @septimasexta
I posted this earlier today: GET IT STRAIGHT: We Never Called it "Pizzagate"
I soon found out that the term "pizzagate" may have come from Reddit, from a thread on r/TheDonald, thanks to @MeatballPizza
I then found my old post where I tried to find the origin of the definition. Here it is again:
The Biggest Pizzagate FAKE NEWS being promulgated by alt media; fake definition of "pizzagate" originated with the New York Times' Cecilia Kang
[Pizzagaters believe that] Hillary Clinton and her top aides were running a child-trafficking ring out of a Washington pizza parlor"
The false narrative was created by the New York Times' Cecilia Kang, November 21. 2016 where she characterized the pizzagate theory as such, apparently based solely on messages supposedly posted to James' Instagram feed. "All of them" said Comet was the base of a child abuse ring "led by" Hillary Clinton and Podesta.
Within hours, menacing messages like “we’re on to you” began appearing in his Instagram feed. In the ensuing days, hundreds of death threats — one read “I will kill you personally” — started arriving via texts, Facebook and Twitter. All of them alleged something that made Mr. Alefantis’s jaw drop: that Comet Ping Pong was the home base of a child abuse ring led by Hillary Clinton and her campaign chief, John D. Podesta.
In his recent charade, Alex Jones posits himself as the voice of the pizzagate investigation, taking responsibility for "creating the false narrative" https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C8CNE7SVAAAfnzA.jpg
In his well-covered video, Alex said 'we all ran over to Comet, looking into this innocent pizza place, instead of looking at the real perps [Weiner, Epstein, etc]'.
I am asking the crowd here whether my observations of our pizzagate investigation are correct. What I have observed is a large group of serious, intelligent, caring people of all age groups and from all backgrounds, looking into any obvious (and many not at all obvious) leads that have come from the Podesta leaked emails, and from mainstream media (such as the Silsby/Clinton/33 children evidence).
I have NOT observed any serious bias towards Alefantis in lieu of other leads, like the ones Alex Jones and now Mike Cernovich 'advise' we focus on.
People who are running with the false, MSM-derived narrative which defines pizzagate as a belief that Hillary ran a sex slave ring out of the basement of Comet Pizza, are doing so in error and in defiance of the facts.
At the time of her article, I was unable to find anything to back up Cecilia Kang's assertion that our group believed what she claimed. I had read virtually every pizzagate-related blog post, every thread on the various subs, and had my ear to the ground on other forums up to that point, and her definition of our movement was completely novel to me. NO WHERE was our group claiming this shit.
We did ask obvious questions that were related to anything that came up in those emails, and though James' Instagram provided a lot of fodder for our investigation to be sure, but we did not focus on Comet as Alex and others suggest.
Claims that we have focused on Comet, ignoring other leads and locations, that we were led astray, that we believe something crazy about Comet's basement & Hillary... are all fake news.
Anyone promulgating these claims and not correcting them (perhaps tweeting @ceciliakang with requests for some kind of reliable source for her article... did she even see the Insta messages? did she make sure they were from real people? did she look on other forums as well, to gauge the opinions of pizzagaters?), is on the wrong side of this thing and doing this investigation a great disservice.
The actual origin of pizzagate is being virtually erased by allowing the NYT, and alt media icons, to create fake news and effectively smear us in the process.
We need to get back to our roots. Look at what they are trying to hide, and go there.
I also think we should make a lot of noise about this Fake News from the NYT/AlexJones so that it cannot continue, and so that the public is made aware simultaneously of what they are not saying, made aware of what pizzagate really is. How do WE define pizzagate?
The media, and now alt media aren't addressing the emails, the use of code, the donations to Comet by Soros and Clinton, Alefantis calling babies "hotards", Alefantis threatening Ryan's life, Alefantis saying he doesn't like children at all, yet is taking a baby to "the farm", calling his friends "chickenlovers"
On December 10th, in the spirit of 'hiding in plain site', the New York Times printed:
In the span of a few weeks, a false rumor that Hillary Clinton
and her top aides were involved in various crimes snowballed
into a wild conspiracy theory that they were running a
child-trafficking ring out of a Washington pizza parlor.

There was also a very active 4chan discussion of the Wikileaks publishing of the DNC emails and John Podesta's email. In fact, one night I remember seeing a post there where Podesta's actual password was mentioned as he hadn't bothered to change it EVER AFTER THE LEAKS.
You think these folks are brilliant. Go watch the documentary on WEINER and you'll see they're not.
4chan took the Instagram posts and made a number of memes on them. Ditto the pizza-related posts. 4chan and The_Donald were acting parallel in getting out word. Again, all this grew out of the Spirit Cooking discussion. Once you see it within the context of child sacrifice and Satan worshipping, none of it seems impossible.
