That's the thing for me, the whole history of this shit was re written, I watched it happen in front of me. It wasn't "loser 4chan investigators" driving this shit, it was loser redditors on the DNCleaks subreddit. Yeah theres a lot of overlap there, but you understand how tying it explicitly to 4chan poisons it for liberals, right? Same with the comet pizza thing. Some random dipshit claims there's a basement they're eating children in, or whatever? All of a sudden that's what "it's about" and oh, now all they need to do is say "there isn't even a basement, it was all fake" and that's how it's remembered. That's the main point the google AI summary threw at me. Pizzagate wasn't even "about" Alefantis or comet pizza, they came up like months into people reading through these emails.
Honestly looking at some of the shit on the site you linked is worse than I remember, I don't remember the Podestas having "art" of clearly adult figures jerking off or pissing over children in cages. I do remember how he and his brother look EXACTLY LIKE the e-fit images of the guy who kidnapped Madeline mccann though (yes I know people say 'it's supposed to be two images of the same guy' like it makes it any less of a 100% identical appearance)
I'm pretty sure the site is run by a right winger though because 1) they posted a bunch of Musk tweets about it and 2) who the fuck else is going to have an interest or motivation to run a site like this here in 2025
Yeah agree but also liberals and conservatives are both doing that shit with the Epstein stuff.
P.s. i don't think I've ever seen a conspiracy theory of any kind scrubbed from the internet the way pizzagate shit was, which I take to be evidence of its own that there's something to it, even if it's just something as mundane as the rich and connected wanting to shut down active questioning into their connections
Yeah, the purging is definitely suspicious, and there's enough suspicious behaviour for there to be SOMETHING untoward occurring here, but I will say:
This is even more unbelievable to me. Like, these guys happen to be involved in one of the most well known child kidnappings of the last 20 years? It makes it sound more like people trying to tie them to things in the public sphere of understanding. And what's more, these high profile, recognisable, well connected guys are pulling off kidnappings THEMSELVES in broad daylight? Even in a foreign country, that's far-fetched. Surely they have faceless patsys to do the dirty work for them.
I mean, yeah, it would be unbelievably wild and fucked up, but I mean... they look just like the images! It's not like pizzagate people made them look the way they do and iirc I never saw anyone say the e-fit images were fake or doctored. It's most likely just a really weird coincidence but it's still a really weird coincidence imo
It is definitively a really weird detail and it's another suspicious thing on top of a billion other suspicious things, but surely it's easy to prove or disprove. If they were in Portugal at the time (which a Pizzagate FBI 'insider' claims), then it's going to be extremely hard to discount. If they weren't, it's not them. I suppose the theory hasn't been tested that far, or maybe it has and they've been ruled out, or maybe they're too influential for it to progress as a theory. Who knows.
I will say, if they were the type of people to be so reckless as to personally kidnap a child in broad daylight, there would be more on them.
