The Pizzagates of Hell
I’m far from the first to say that the McMartin case should serve as a cautionary tale regarding Pizzagate fanaticism,so there’s no need to explore that point in greater detail. What I have not seen brought up yet, however, is the fact that Pizzagate reveals the extent to which the “new media” (and for the sake of this piece, I’m including internet troll culture and the Reddit/4chan set in that category) has indeed taken the place of the “establishment” press. In olden days, it was up to The New York Times, ABC, NBC, and CBS to ruin the lives of Americans by whipping up witch hunts based on flimsy and salacious evidence. Not anymore. - - David Cole

Your Say
OK, they steal little kids, recycle their blood through old rich people in an effort to extend their rotten lives, and harvest whatever else they can and then throw the worn out corpus delecti's to the ocean's depths, is that about right?
Or have I been, at least in part, victimized by fake ass news?
(Note to self: Stop reading russian emails that look like they're from nigeria - you know, the ones that say they can make you stay *up* all night.)

The fact that this is semi-believable just goes to show how creepy and loathsome John Podesta and those in his orbit are.

Back in the day I brushed up against the McMartin case incidently while speaking to a LA County Sheriff involved in the case. Turns out that more evidence disappeared from the evidence locker than was subsequently available for trial. Funny thing about that. The McMartin's were not found guilty, but the jury awarded them $1.00 in damages. IMHO that says something, and it anin't favorable to the McMartins.

Rotherham, the Savile case, the Dutroux case and Jeffrey Epstein's conviction should serve as cautionary tales against dismissing Pizzagate out of hand. To characterize it as a witch hunt and to dismiss the Podesta emails and Alefantis Instagram pics, whose authenticity have not been disputed, as "edgy" art and humor is imprudent. Nobody is suggesting a rush to judgment, but further investigation by the proper authorities. More insight into Pizzagate can be had from reading the comments on Cole's piece than from the article itself.

Interesting - the "believe the children" mantra has now been flipped to "believe the (named)perpetrators".
Only a complicit fool would dismiss this out of hand.
the perps tell you what they desire, they support same (NAMBA, et al) they deny the sin against GOD & man, they work to normalize ALL forms of sexual perversion.
They - all of them are worshipers of baal &
molech.
When government and media say the same thing - they are both lying.
count on it.

The problem with asymmetrical warfare in the fields of media is that lovers of truth-above-all simply have no skill at it. Everything is true or false, reason or folly, smart or stupid. I want to be friends with people who have those sorts of scruples. I do not want them to be my comrades in media arms.
Breitbart is deep in the stirrups of war, charging in with seeming political inconsistencies and dubious scruples in their pursuit of the prey. Other hounds are baying at the heels of cultural enemy. It's not for the squeamish or those whose purity tests are necessary for their own self-esteem.
Media wars abuse the truth on both sides. The Left shouldn't give their detractors a Podesta or an "artist" to beat them with.
