    I suppose this is the political reality we live in and have to get used to. Ridiculous conspiracy theories becoming too close to mainstream and causing like this to happen. Not that its really anything new. Its just more visible I suppose.

    Less than intelligent man cant wait for trump to get in office to starts investigations properly so goes and gets himself arrested while scaring the bejeezus out of customers and staff of pizzerea, simultaniously tainting the concept of a possible paedophile ring to the general public with the veneer of crazy.

    This is annoying because it's not as much of a ridiculous conspiracy theory than Hooahguy says; the Podestas are into some freaky stuff such as hanging borderline bondage art of preteen girls in their home not to mention the spirit cooking stuff.

    All of this being exacerbated by really questionable events such as an email saying "old gang" would meet at a farm with a guarantee of three girls, aged 11, 9, and 7 would be there in a pool for "entertainment". The Pizza thing comes in with another email where Podesta's friends apparantly spent $65K in one night on "pizza" with some really bizzare deliberation over what they want to get.

    Although this seems very far fetched, some things that eventually became reality were equally, if not more far fetched - be that the Snowdon materials or historic cases of abuse in the UK where we are doing the traditional sort of enquiry that keeps on going on until everyone involved is dead.

    I find it quit interesting that any thing termed a conspiracy automatically acquires theory at its end when it reaches public discourse.

    Pizzagate came into the public’s view from hacked emails and so far as I know it is still a part of a real federal investigation. That investigation may or may not become known, dependant on what is found and the power and influence of those involved.

    That a crazy became involved, because of internet investigators was inevitable.

    Most of these “so called” Conspiracy Theories only arise because some people actually READ documents, books, or other information put out by the actual people or organisations implicated in the conspiracies and watch it as it becomes public policy or is acted upon by the groups or government.

    Once someone brings it to the public it either becomes a victim of a misinformation campaign or wild speculation. Very few are made up out of whole cloth.

    Easy example: The Trilateral Commission, in their original mission statement, they said they were working to bring about a New World Economic Order. When George H.W. Bush & Bill Clinton (members or former members of the Trilateral Commission) started making speeches about the New World Order people began to investigate in order to see what they stood for and to scrutinise its membership. The group’s own publications have lead to almost every “Conspiracy Theory” that is out there and that everyone finds so outrageous, with the possible exceptions of Alien Invasions and the Bavarian Illuminati.

    When someone says Globalists are working to bring about a global fascist state, it brings you back to David Rockefeller, The Trilateral Commission, and all the other organisations he is the founder, or long time high ranking member of.

    Naturally there is much that is only speculation or down right misinformation but at least you could know enough that when groups or organisations are viewed with suspicion, that this is the why and the wherefore of it all.

    Of course they don’t use the word fascist anywhere but the political philosophy alone leads one to that conclusion.

    It is exactly what he said: "Ridiculous conspiracy theories becoming too close to mainstream"

    With the use of the word "mainstream" not "reality", unless it was a typo, hooahguy said ridiculous conspiracy theories that become widely known about, not proven to not be ridiculous.

    And yes I am a follower of the conspiracy in that I have read through it and find reason to suspect some awful things have been happening behind the scenes in the Clinton campaign, whether this resteraunt has anything to do with it is a minor detail and something the feds should be looking into not the denizens of reddit or this gun toting imbecile.

    I found the BBC Article helpful in explaining why LeftEyeNine was taken up with this conspiracy, I was wondering why he was the one to bring it up. Turns out, it was used as a propaganda stunt by Erdogan to try to obscure domestic issues and abuse.

    Child Abuse in the UK is taken very seriously. With the Jimmy Saville investigations, and the current high-profile Fifa investigation with Football coaches grooming young footballers. Such "In your face" conspiracy would be investigated and dealt with swiftly by authorities. In fact, authorities would have looked after the Reddit material themselves, because it is in their interest to do so. If there was anything behind it, it would be dealt with.

    Even in the US, they were investigating Anthony Weiner due to Sexting minors. It was his Laptop which was seized and investigated, which led to an potential reopening of the Clinton case by the FBI Director before the end of the election which cost Clinton the presidency. I am pretty sure if there was smoke, they would be all over it.

    It is clear from intent, that Hooahguy was is expressing disapproval over the fact 'ridiculous conspiracy theories' are becoming closer to 'mainstream', in terms of popularity and spread. He further attributes this spread in causing to happen. He is not advocating or supporting it in any shape or form.

    It is linked to a dismissal word, "ridicule-ous" as in "worthy of ridicule", through its use his opinion is clearly stated, as is yours.

    As for its spread as a turkish ploy, that is a poor reason to dismiss it. Pizzagate came from internet denisens extrapolating information gathered from the podesta emails. That it became mainstream from the actions of Turkey is ultimately irrelevant to it's veracity.

    As for the lack of investigation I think you are woefully underestimating the ammount of collusion with hillary that infested the obama administration

    Haha, nice try. A video you posted in the POTUS thread about another Hillary "scandal" was created by a notorious fraud who tried to illegally wiretap a senator's office (he pleaded guilty for that, btw). You responded with something along the lines of,That doesn't invalidate his message. Prove him wrong!

    The new york times is better but not by much. apparently working through esp cecelia kang says that "None of it was true. While Mr. Alefantis has some prominent Democratic friends in Washington and was a supporter of Mrs. Clinton, he has never met her, does not sell or abuse children, and is not being investigated by law enforcement for any of these claims."
    Only the last of those claims can be verified without a proper investigation which they admit hasnt happened and thanks to our loonie private eye and the now widespread posse of overexicited redditors, that probably wont happen.

    Krazelic, legitimate video footage of a confession to corruption being on a questionable youtube account to is not made less real by the associon whereas the authority of a pundit's blatantly biased accout of an event is somewhat exaserbated by being on a glorified partisan blog.

    This need you have for me to explain the nuamces between hard evidence and punditry in every thread is getting as tiresome as the constant attempts at threading together the facsimile of a gotcha moment from past posts.

    ...the campaign denied any wrongdoing, and independent campaign finance experts say that even if the events in the video happened as portrayed, they don’t support the claim that the Clinton campaign did anything illegal.

    Thanks for the links Bunny.


    Off-topic: I would like to point out that schizophrenia isn't typically marked by such vivid instances of audio and visual psychosis, but more the heavy paranoia and delusions. This may manifesto in the more severe cases like the aliens/government conducting surveillance through the power supply, so they remove plug-sockets and even light bulbs. However, it is typically with paranoia around neighbours talking about them/recording them, or being followed when walking down the street. Unfortunately, the actions of the person can cause them to attract the interest of others, creating a fulfilling prophecy in some regards.

    But does he? From his link:

    Federal campaign finance law prohibits political campaigning from coordinating on expenditures with outside groups that involve paid media communications. That means that the Clinton campaign and the super PAC supporting Clinton’s bid, Priorities USA Action, cannot write advertisements together, for example, or share data in order to decide what market to place an advertisement in.

    It is legal, however to coordinate on other forms of communication, including certain types of messaging, and to contract work to third parties. The Donald Duck activists likely do not qualify under federal law as public communications, which is defined as including television or newspaper advertising, or mass mailings.

    “The video makes the allegation that this satisfies the definition of coordinated communication,” said Brendan Fischer, associate counsel at the Campaign Legal Center. But “it’s not at all a clear that the person dressed up as a duck is engaged in public political advertising, or is the sort of conduct envisioned by the [Federal Election Commission] regulations.”
    The first two paragraphs contain explanations by Time about how the laws work, the last one a statement on the case by who I assume is an expert of the CLC, an organization that was founded by someone who worked on the McCain Campaign in 2008 according to Wikipedia.
    Can you explain how this is based only on the "word of the perpetrator"?

    The expert quibbles over a matter of definition in a law of which he himself does not have enough confidence in to say it makes the campaign innocent.

    This does not contribute actual capital to the claim of innocence that is coming from Clinton's campaign making Krazelic's attempt to use this article as proof that the veritas videos do not count as not hard evidence look like blind faith in the honesty of a dishonest perp.

    Now are we going to actually get back on track or are we going to waste the time of yet another thread on krazelic and pannonian's pointless distractions?

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    Hard evidence for what? If you're not interested in definitions of law, then we could just as well make the argument that the laws are stupid in the first place, so what's the problem? The ducks were funny, end of story.

    Let's move on indeed.

    Ah, just couldnt restrain yourself for more than one post, hm.

    Back on track, the shooter Edgar Maddison Welch spent some time acting sparking some speculation that he is a "crisis actor" such as the slew that reported a number of fake claims of violence in the wake of Trump's election, though Heavy.com's account of his prior work as "elected President of the North Carolina Crime Stoppers Association (two terms). Served as Executive Director for Protect-A-Child, a national, non-profit organization to prevent abuse and abduction of children. Appointed by Governor Jim Martin to the Governor’s Commission on Child Victimization.” indicates a more honest motiviation. Note I couldnt find the source on those appointments.

    More interestingly he has a criminal record; driving under the influence in 2013 and more recently this october he running down a 13 year old in his car, apparantly intentionally as a witness says he "had the whole road to turn into even the whole other lane, even in the same lane he could have avoided him."
