Another look at SPiN .. A story of basements and tunnels... (pizzagate)

submitted ago by letsdothis3

In this video about Susan Sarandon's SPiN, the vlogger spent some time discussing the name of the club and it suddenly hit me that possibly the reason for the small 'i' in the name is to emphasise the word Pi. (In the UK we had the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) and often, the mathematical symbol pi is used for pedo signalling.)

THE STANDARD HOTEL & SUSAN SARANDON'S "PING PONG EMPIRE"!!!

Then I looked at some old voat posts like this one:

2009 article reveals Hollywood celebrities have known, invested in and attended ping pong nightclubs hosting "naked ping pong parties"

The Prince is Franck Raharinosy, a 33-year-old fledgling filmmaker and Ping-Pong impresario who last week signed a 15-year lease for the 13,000-square-foot basement of 304 Park Avenue. [directly across from the Waldorf Astoria]

If you haven’t tried ping pong “social club” (read: bar), now’s your chance at Spin DC. The chain, with seven US locations and another in Toronto, takes up the basement of the National Press Club building downtown. 

Basement did you say? Did you know that 304 Park Avenue is the address of the National Press Club?

So, it's opposite the Waldorf Astoria : https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-06/secrets-of-the-waldorf-astoria-presidential-tunnels-red-velvet-cake

There’s no way to detect it from above ground, but right below the Waldorf is a little-known extension of Grand Central Station, built in the 1930s to help Franklin Delano Roosevelt keep his polio diagnosis private. Rumors swirl about the station’s continued use, but on a rare tour, we saw proof that it still caters to commanders-in-chief.  “It takes seven minutes to get from here to JFK [Airport],” said Grand Central historian Daniel Brucker, neatly dodging my question about evacuation protocols on the elevator doors.

Though he swore confidentiality to the Secret Service on some of the site’s features, he did gesture toward the absence of an electrified third rail on the escape platform. Why? Visiting presidents use dual-mode diesel locomotives that don’t need outside power to function; it’s a precaution in case of power outages or larger catastrophes. 

Roosevelt didn’t want the world to know that he had polio, so he commissioned the Waldorf train station—and a bespoke locomotive—so that he could commute between New York and Washington with ease and privacy. The train’s last car was built to accommodate his presidential limousine; its two, ultra-wide pocket doors allowed his driver to three-point-turn the limo off the train and into a custom elevator leading to the hotel’s garage.

But the train, with its ironclad construction and pop-out gun turrets, has been permanently abandoned under the Waldorf. “It was housed there to be protected from the elements,” explained Brucker, “but in 1945, it was being prepped [for a presidential voyage] when FDR suddenly died. It hasn’t moved since.”

Well, tunnels run along the entire Park Avenue: Park Avenue main line - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park_Avenue_main_line

Now guess what's SPiN's address in Washington DC? Uh huh, it's the National Press Club

Address: 529 14TH STREET NW, WASHINGTON, D.C. 20045 This map shows its proximity to the White House

Ping pong social club SPIN has arrived in the District, but it’s not your average ping pong hall (they exist). Two short flights of stairs down, guests find themselves in the basement of the National Press Club. 

National Press Club https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Press_Club_(United_States)#National_Press_Building

Founded in 1908, the club has been visited by many U.S. presidents, and many since Warren Harding have been members – most have spoken from the club's podium.[4] Others who have appeared at the club include monarchs, prime ministers and premiers, members of Congress, Cabinet officials, ambassadors, scholars, entertainers, business leaders, and athletes. The Club's emblem is the Owl, in deference to wisdom, awareness and nights spent working.

In 1925, National Press Club President Henry L. Sweinhart, appointed a special building committee to plan for a permanent club headquarters. The Ebbitt Hotel was demolished, and the Ebbitt Grill moved to the Albee building. The new National Press Building was completed in August 1927, and included retail space and office space intended for Washington news bureaus, with the club occupying the 13th and 14th floors. In order to increase their funding, the club made a deal with movie studio 20th Century Fox to build a theater as part of the building.

Old Ebbitt Grill https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Ebbitt_Grill#Clyde's_Restaurant_Group_years

Old Ebbitt Grill  is Washington's oldest bar and restaurant, and as of 2012 was owned by Clyde's Restaurant Group.

Voat posts re Clyde's Restaurant Group:

and so is Ginger Laytham Clyde's Restaurant Group

Tunnels? Well, we know that Washington is full of them.. and .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/14th_Street_(Washington,_D.C.)

There are two Metrorail stations on 14th Street (the U Street station is one block east, at 13th and U Streets NW and is considered the most convenient stop to visit the heart of 14th St between P and V Sts NW)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U_Street_station

U Street station is located in northwest Washington and serves the U Street neighborhood; nearby attractions include the Lincoln Theatre, the historic restaurant Ben's Chili Bowl, and several nightclubs, including The Black Cat and the 9:30 Club. The station is approximately five blocks east of the neighborhood of Adams Morgan.

Well, we've had a few posts on here about the Black Cat and this person thinks that there is a connection with Alefantis and Comet Ping Pong : here and here

Well, what about SPiN at the Standard Hotel LA ?: 550 S Flower St (at 6th St)

Tunnels? Well, they certainly are in that area. See:

The Standard Hotel's new owner is Gaw Capital. Connections with Alphy's Soda Pop Club to Brightest Young Things and Transformer DC.

So, listening to Jimmy Church's radio show on youtube from 9th Jan I was struck when Jimmy & Brad talked for a while about the tunnel system in California that parts predated the building of the city, and other parts were built to connect mansions and clubs together, including the Playboy mansion and The California Club. I haven't started digging into this yet, but there could well be serious correlation with the DC tunnels and child trafficking.

Tunnel chat starts around 1hr 34min: https://youtu.be/rB_HIYq00ho?t=5641

See the proximity of the Standard Hotel to the California Club here: https://i.imgsafe.org/17/179771cdfa.png

Maybe we should check the other SPiN clubs too...

The 9:30 Club https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9:30_Club

In 2018 the 9:30 Club was named one of the 10 best live music venues in America by Rolling Stone Magazine.[2] The club was originally housed in the ground floor rear room of the Atlantic Building at 930 F Street NW,[nb 1] in the city's downtown area, where it opened on May 31, 1980,[3] with a legal standing capacity of only 199 patrons.[1][4] In 1996, due to its increasing prominence, the club was moved to a roomier space, its current location at 815 V Street NW,[1][3] where it anchors the eastern end of the U Street Corridor.

Nightclub 9:30 was founded by artist and dancer Dody DiSanto and her husband, Jon Bowers, a local real estate developer and music enthusiast who had just purchased the Atlantic Building in 1979.[1][3][8][9] The venue hosted its first show on May 31, 1980,[3] featuring New York-based jazz-punk outfit the Lounge Lizards [more in another post] as headliners, and local new wave band Tiny Desk Unit as the opening act.[1][3][10] New York's The Fleshtones were the first band ever to be booked at the club.

Since its origins, Nightclub 9:30, which allowed fans as young as sixteen to enter, was known as a progressive venue noted for its talent in discovering up-and-coming acts.

On January 5, 1996, after receiving extensive remodeling, the former WUST Radio Music Hall at 815 V Street opened as the new 9:30 Club.

Tunnels? gets interesting..

A couple of images here from Google maps: https://imgur.com/a/aDqoCos

you'll see that the club is at the corner of V St NW and and 9th St NW - with stairs leading underground...

9th Street you say? Leaving Downtown DC using the 9th Street Tunnel : short video explaining all the convenient locations the tuneel leads to, including 14 Street. Cohincedentally, The vlogger also mentions Berlin..)

Berlin did he say? Why there's a Dr. Pong in Berlin.. you don't think?...

Address of Dr. Pong is Eberswalder Str. 21, 10437 Berlin,

Berlin Eberswalder Strasse station https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahnhof_Berlin_Eberswalder_Stra%C3%9Fe

google translator:

The Berlin Eberswalder Straße station (until 1950 Berlin Nordbahnhof ) on the Bernauer Straße was the starting point of the Berlin Nordbahn . Except for a few years at the end of the 19th century, it served exclusively for freight transport. Due to its location between East and West Berlin he lost as a result of the division of Berlin from 1948 in importance, but was still long time for individual residents in operation. The GDR shut down the remaining facilities of the station in 1985. The created from 1992 Mauerparkcovers most of the areas of the former station. Of its buildings little is preserved, the most famous relic is formerly running under the tracks listed glade tunnel .

During excavations of the Berliner Wasserbetriebe in early 2018 u. a. the foundations of the former southeastern corner building. In addition, the former access to an escape tunnel could be rediscovered, which extended from there about 80 meters under the Berlin Wall to Oderberger Strasse. After completing the work of the water companies, the excavations should be continued and, if necessary, a place of remembrance set up. [10]

On the station grounds in 1993 some scenes of the Holocaust drama Schindler's list of Steven Spielberg. These are the scenes in which Oskar Schindler prevents the removal of his accountant Itzhak Stern to an extermination camp, where he gets him off the train at the last moment.

Gleim Tunnel https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleimtunnel

The Gleimtunnel is not a tunnel in the mining sense. Rather, it is a 130 meter long and 23 meter wide underpass consisting of steel track superstructures supported by 78 cast iron Hartung columns . Due to its location in the restricted area after the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961 until 1990, the building is still in a relatively original condition. For example, most of the pillars still have the capital capes that have already been lost to the Yorck Bridge pillars or have been removed as part of road safety measures .

Via the Gleimtunnel, the inflow tracks of the northern northern train from Berlin ran parallel to the Schwedter Straße to Bernauer Straße , where they ended at a terminus station, the so-called Nordbahnhof (later Eberswalder Straße freight station ). The eastern part of this former railway area near the Max-Schmeling-Halle and the stadium in the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark on the former parade ground is now part of the Mauerpark .

The Gleimtunnel received its name on November 9, 1911 after the road that leads through it. At the Battle of Berlin

From 2007 to 2013, the Gleimtunnel served once a year as the venue for the Gleimtunnel Party , which takes place on 2 October each year . This multicultural and free event took place under the motto of crossing the border - the meeting of East and West - the meeting of two different neighborhoods, as well as the common celebration in the Day of German Unity . From 8 pm on 2 October the passage for motorized traffic was closed. Dancing people gathered for Oriental beats and electro music. The Gleimtunnel Party was organized by the project Intercultural Encounters and funded by the Social City program promoted.
