Pizzagate: Was There Any Truth In It?

I have stayed away from the Pizzagate because it was simply too unpleasent, but recently I saw a threat from Chris Cuomo in the documentary "Out of Shadows" (2020) that forced me to write about it.:

Maybe what most intered me from Pizzagate and everything that surrounded it was to see if there was any truth in it. 

It is curious how the Pizzagate affair got so quickly out-of-hand, making it impossible to have a serious rational analysis of the content of Podesta's e-mails. It even seems that it was driven out-of-hand on purpose.

 

I will start by clarifying that I haven't found anything to support the theory of the hidden "pedophile code" in Podesta's e-mails. I haven't found any document prior to the Pizzagate scandal mentioning words like "cheese" or "pizza" as a code used by pedophiles (if anybody has such document, let me know in the comments).

I did find the document from the FBI from 2007 showing the triangle inside a bigger triangle as used by pedophiles, that resembles a symbol from Comet Ping Pong, but even that symbol having been used by Comet Ping Pong seems difficult to confirm now. The same goes for the alleged art that decorated the pizzeria, although here is a disturbing mural that undoubtedly decorated (decorates?) this allegedly family pizzeria.

 

What I have found is this capture of Comet Ping Pong owner, James Alefantis, Instagram that seems legit (let me know if it's not, or if you know how to find more legit captures):

 

The hashtag used in the post, #chickenlovers, is really disturbing. As you can read in this article from The Guardian from 2001, "chicken" is used as "sex with boys (or "chickens", as they are known on the scene". So we only have two possibilities, and there are not more: wether he thinks that being a "chicken lover" is fine, or he is making a joke. If the former is true, he should be in jail; if the latter is true, well, someone who thinks that making jokes about pedophilia is ok doesn't deserve any respect. Let's not forget that the mainstream media made turned this guy into some sort of martyr of fake news...

Another capture from Comet Ping Pong's owner Instagram (seems legit too) would proof that he was friend with Tony Podesta (whose taste in art we will later discuss):

 

 

Going back to the code, only an investigation into the whereabouts of the people involved checking them against the content of the e-mails could prove that such a code existed. 

 

Having said that, there are some things in Podesta's e-mails that are worrying.

 

You probably have heard about the "pizza for an hour" e-mail:

 

It surely is strange to use the expression "get a pizza for an hour", but you can think of an scenario were it makes sense: a lazy way of asking "Do you want to have lunch together? We can eat pizza. But I have only one hour". Of course the strange thing is that it seems they are talking about dinner (as the subject is "Re: You two free for dinner on 12 or 13 January?"), so it is a little strange to have only one hour for dinner...

 

There is however one e-mail that cannot be rationally explained. This one:

"I am popping up again to share our excitement about the Reprise of Our Gang’s visit to the farm in Lovettsville. And I thought I’d share a couple more notes: We plan to heat the pool, so a swim is a possibility. Bonnie will be Uber Service to transport Ruby, Emerson, and Maeve Luzzatto (11, 9, and almost 7) so you’ll have some further entertainment, and they will be in that pool for sure."

To create a reasonable scenario to explain this e-mail is much more harder. But let's try: a group of friends is meeting in a farm. They have a pool and they are going to heat it, so they can swim. So far, completely normal. Then someone writes that children will be there and gives the ages. Ok, maybe other children are coming or can come, and they want to tell that they will be able to play together. But then comes the first unexplainable sentence: "Bonnie will be Uber Service to transport Ruby, Emerson, and Maeve Luzzatto (11, 9, and almost 7) so you’ll have some further entertainment"... So the children are not there to play with other children, but to provide "further entertainment"... How are the children supposed to entertain those adults? And then a clarification: "they will be in that pool for sure". Why the hell a group of adults would care if the children get or not in the pool??? If other children are coming, and you want to let them know that they will be able to swim, you just write "children will be able to swim", you don't write "they will be in that pool for sure".

It seems to me that the Pizzagate conspiracy getting crazier and crazier was very convenient to avoid giving explanations about the serious concerning aspects in several of the e-mails as well as the extremely disturbing taste in art of some of the people involved (like Tony Podesta and the owner of Comet Ping Pong).

Regarding Tony Podesta, it is 100% TRUE that Podesta DID HAVE PHOTOS OF NAKED TEENAGERS:

"a bedroom at the Podesta residence hung with multiple color pictures by Katy Grannan, a photographer known for documentary-style pictures of naked teenagers in their parents' suburban homes" [The Washington Post]

Here are some examples of the art from Tony Podesta's home from Washington Life Magazine from 2015.

As many people have noticed, why did Tony Podesta and his wife have children toys in their bedroom if they don't have any children...

Check that in bedroom in this last page, there are children's toys next to the bed... But the Podesta's didn't have children.
