I don't recognize many people involved anymore, especially since the whole thing has blown up infinitely bigger then I could have ever imagined. With that said, what I DO remember was the very beginning of the whole thing but specifically, how Reddit systematically attempted to shut down any and all research into pizzagate within days or us organizing a subreddit.
Before I go any further, yes. I was a moderator for r/Pizzagate and helped mod the original pizzagate sub as well as facilitate the research in the beginning. My proof here. I was invited to become a moderator here at v/pizzagate, but declined. Proof here. With all of that said...
As you all know, before pizzagate was called pizzagate, we only had an idea about it from the leaked Podesta/DNC emails that came from WikiLeaks. My then co-mod at the time, pizzathrowaway777, created the subreddit called r/Pizzagate. People said the name choice was stupid but obviously it stuck. Within a matter of days we had an average of 20,000 people viewing per hour. We had about 3,000 people subscribe to our sub every day and had over 23,000 people within 14 days. To be honest it was more than we had any idea. We really didn't expect things to get that big so fast, but then that's when the issues started arising.
We would get messages from the Reddit Admins saying people were releasing private information and that if we didn't get a handle on it, they would shut the whole operation down. So we were left with no option but to strictly enforce a "No PII" rule. And we did just so. Anyone who had broken the rule had to be prevented from posting more PII, so we had to prevent them from posting...but then things got weird.
Reddit Admins, under the disguise of their system username "reddit" started unbanning people we had kept from posting. These people were purposely posting PII to get r/Pizzagate shut down. See here - http://magaimg.net/img/6zbm.png
That was Reddit removing the suspensions of people we disallowed from posting as these were the people repeatedly breaking the PII rule. They kept posting it over and over, with the purpose of getting it all shut down. We shared this evidence of Reddit interfering and trying to sabotage us but that made things worse. About 2 days later, we got a message from them saying they wouldn't be allowing us to operate any longer and they would be shutting us down. All of this was happening between mid November of 2016 to end of January 2017.
Immediately, we scrambled. /u/pizzathrowaway777 created v/pizzagate. We started backing up everything we had found to hard drives and other resources. We launched private chat rooms where we kept digging. Reddit shutting us down PROVED there was something to hide and truthfully, without Reddit trying to censor us and pizzagate, I don't think it would have ever have taken off like it did.
pizzathrowaway777 sends this message to Spez the Reddit CEO. Shortly after, /u/pizzathrowaway777 came here but they didn't last long. I don't know what happened to him and I wish I did. He was a great person and was THE person who really took point on the whole thing. Without him, I truthfully think pizzagate may not be what it is now.
What you all have done since this all first started has been absolutely incredible and while I am not so much involved anymore and carry out my own side investigations, I have to say that you all need to keep looking and digging. Even when we first started all of this, there were multiple hard drives of information, and that was only in the beginning! Never forget /u/pizzathrowaway777 - the person who really launched the whole thing. They created a ripple affect which has created a lasting impact on the world, for the better. He was one of us. Don't forget him and what this was all about: helping those who cant help themselves.

My daughter had decided to major in criminology at her university. In one of her classes she had to go to the local state attorneys office and do a short internship. I noticed soon after she started that she was having trouble sleeping. I asked her what was going on and she brought up the subject of paedophilia. She informed me that a major case was working its way through the justice system. Being kind of news junkie I did think it was strange that I hadn’t heard about it. She stated that there were hundreds of thousands of actual pictures of children being molested. She said they were all different kids! This was back in the early 2000s. I kind of put it into the back of my head and didn’t think about it until the Podesta emails. The gravity of this fell upon me like a ton of bricks. It is the reason I joined this forum. The reason I joined VOAT. Lack of sleep is a small price to pay for being privy to the greatest evil. It has became crystal clear to me it is the base of all evil. When Trump says “You don’t know how sick these people are” I do and for that reason alone I have become a fan. Light is the only disinfectant. I’ve lost a lot of friends sharing what I now know. Hell, the way I look at it they were probably part of it to start with. I only have friends that don’t sleep now and I understand why Trump gets such little sleep. I’d like to thank the researchers and thanks for a great post.

Thank you for caring so deeply..I was sexually abused from infancy...when I told my mother at age 12, she did not believe me...nor anybody in my family. I became the problem, not my father. Every time I read a post like yours, it affects me very deeply and I can consciously see that it was just my family that didn't care....not that there was something wrong with me for talking about it....well, no. My father was in a pedophile ring out of , I think, Duke University, there had to be ripple effects. My father's was so close to Joe Ryan who started the parapsychology dept at Duke, they each knew when the other was going to call. Have read recently that the MKultra program was interested in extrasensory perception. ......which was what Joe Ryan's dept. was all about....don't think I was supposed to remember as much as I did.

My condolences for what you went through. The thing that bothers me is how it is a taboo subject happening all around us. The twelve year old daughter of a woman I know was felt up by a church elder during bible study! She locked herself in the bathroom and called her mother. She rescued her from the situation and even told the mans daughter about it. The weird thing was they decided to let it drop. LEO was not notified. She wouldn’t tell me his name. He was a family friend was all she would tell me. I’ll never understand why people let them stay in the dark. Bringing them into the light is my first instinct. Why do people protect these perverts?

If the police and judges is on their side ...they can be locked up for false charges.. We r living in a cartoon world... I keep.posting the solution to getting out of their statutes and cartoon laws..but it falls on deaf ears.. People cannot undrrstand the simplicity with which we enslave our selves in this debt system.. All we have to do is reduce debt at the US tressury.. ..that will turn the US into our debtor slave corporatiin...and can turn it into our personal bully... Then these statutue and codes and the gremlins that hide behind them wont stand a chance ..
