the only major gripe with pizzagate anyone on this forum had was that it was limited to the democrats and that it was happening in a restaurant basement.

the problem with pizzagate was that it needed a bunch of secret code words about satanism, adrenochrome, and organ harvesting. turns out all you need is an upper class and earthly delights. occam’s razor or something

So it seems increasingly likely that qanon/pizzagate were false flags* to prime the public into disbelieving the more incredible aspects of this, right?

*I'm 90% sure there's a specific term for "conspiracy theory introduced or promoted to distract from an actual conspiracy" but I can't remember what it is.

Edit:


Yeah probably

it's called disinformation and it does seem plausible!

I've always called that disinformation. the flames of 9/11 truthers being stoked by the Bush administration is, I don't know, a disinformation campaign as a diversionary tactic? what stands out to me though is the concept of a "useful idiot". take pizzahate as an example: I doubt that it was started or even signal boosted by intelligence agencies, but a powerful trafficking-ring would see a red herring for the populace—it's so absurd that it makes the real possibility of an Epstein seem absurd by association. so the useful idiots keep being useful.

reminder that michael flynn's son and mike cernovich were both among the people fanning the flames of pizzagate

also it's way smarter to do this poo poo off shore than in the basement of a random D.C. pizza joint.

Anyone checked in on how the pizzagaters are responding to all this?

but at the same time he's helping dersh and other child rapists in various ways?

that’s the problem with “omg pizzagate is real” because of this poo poo. Pizzagate wasn’t “some rich and powerful people are pedos” which everyone with a brain already knew it was “Hillary Clinton and every dem ever rapes children in the basement of a pizza parlor” most of which has yet to be proven accurate.

It's not about the actual money, it's about making sure That Bitch (tm) doesn't get a penny of What's Mine.

My brother went off the grid to go be a sheep shearer in west Texas getting paid less than minimum wage under the table rather than support his children. But then, he was a vindictive poo poo when we were kids too.

like the old god cronus devouring his own children, the wealthiest have already demonstrated a willingness to destroy the young and innocent, to leave them traumatized and devoid of hope for a better future, all for the thrill of a little momentary power and material comfort. they do this in so many indirect ways while pursuing their hollow "enrichment" that it can be no surprise when a bunch of them choose to destroy the young in much more violent and vulgar ways

imo its high time for the titanomachy bitch :getin:

:thunk::mason::brainworms::tinfoil::thunkher:
The more levelheaded conspiracy researchers and writers during the Bush years noted that for whatever reason, ex-intelligence and former Bush White House aides were entering the 9/11 Truth movement but to back absolute and demonstrably false horseshit like “there were no planes/none of the hijacking victims actually died”, “Russia was behind it”, and of course “jet fuel can’t melt steal beams”. Note the staying power of these myths.

Similar things were noted about ex-intelligence and outright white supremacists sneaking their way into the Mind Control and Ritual Abuse communities. The UFOlogical community is laughably bad at handling this, Mirage Men is a killer read/watch on the subject.

Basically a good chunk of American conspiracy theories are dreamed up in the government and fulfill the purpose of allowing their believers to believe they’ve found deeper knowledge and broken free of the government’s official story, all while obfuscating whatever truth may be out there.

alternate explanation: a lot of people who are dumb as poo poo end up in the intelligence space because the requirements for entry are less "be incredibly competent" like in the movies and are actually more like "be a boring square through college and join the correct frat." then once they are in intelligence, they think they're super smart and competent, like in the movies, and live entirely on their own farts. also the broadly defined "government intelligence" space is at least 100k jobs so if even 3% of people match the above, that's thousands of people who will believe anything.

the FBI is almost entirely staffed by Breitbart readers who forward goofy poo poo to their grandkids. these are not super competent people all around

The CIA/NSA absolutely does nefarious poo poo but it is generally all much more mundane than the MKULTRA stuff. And yeah it's morons all the way up.

You're not wrong, but

He had actually kind of turned his poo poo around and started paying a little bit when his demons caught up with him and he committed suicide. I have complicated feelings about the whole thing - he had a lot of issues as a kid that our parents had no idea how to deal with and some diagnoses were missed and mishandled. He didn't deserve all the problems he had but the people in his life didn't deserve the way he treated them either.

Anyway he wasn't a billionaire and he never hosed a kid so it's off topic, sorry.
