[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's most disturbing to me is that every piece of evidence showing that this is not true just because a piece of the conspiracy for believers. Short of shutting down the internet I really don't see how you can combat this garbage [/quote]

This is silly. We don't need to shut down the damn Internet.

While there is obviously no child abuse going on here,[b] there was evidence of some kind of weird secrecy or creepiness.[/b] This sort of thing (even when there's nothing actually reprehensible underlying it), once made known, will tend to lead to unfortunate rumors and conspiracies if powerful and prominent people are even tangentially connected. The world was ever thus.

This isn't "blaming the victim." Sometimes it's best not to post photos of little kids taped down to your restaurant's tables. For the same reasons that I don't want my daughter to ever go around town without wearing clothing. There's just a good chance it might lead to something unfortunate.

Also, for those of you who are interested in exploring root causes rather than just dismissing people as crazy: My guess is that it doesn't help that the mainstream media really has gotten a lot wrong over recent years. They treated Hillary's win over Trump as an inevitability, as the most obvious, recent example. And the Post's PropOrNot piece was laughable as credible journalism. [/quote]

Have you ever once been to Comet PingPing?  It's a fun, family friendly restaurant.  We love going there.  I've never once seen "evidence" of some kind of "weird secrecy."  Stop spouting nonsense.[/quote]

Yes, I have been there multiple times. Including with my child. I live not far away. Again, I certainly don't believe anything horrible happened there. But I still wouldn't publicly post some of the photos the owner did. (And my post about weird secrecy was more directed toward the seeming code in the Podesta emails.)

My mom once wanted to put photos of my toddler in the bathtub on FB. I told her that she couldn't. The Internet is forever, and not everyone in the world is good. If I owned a small family-oriented business connected to my posted photos, I probably would have been even more adamant. [/quote]

It doesn't help that Podesta's art included works by Katy Grannan.  Look her stuff up.

the Wa Po, folks - not some "fake news" site/source

[quote]Not always. Folks attending a house tour in the Lake Barcroft neighborhood in Falls Church earlier this year got an eyeful when they walked into 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.[/quote]

And as far as Marina Abramovic's spirit cooking is concerned (bc I went down the rabbit hole), her art is pretty gross.  She used pig's blood in one video as a substitute for menstrual fluid that was "necessary" for her spirit cooking.  So you can say she's either very dynamic and unique, or you can call her sick.

Apparently, there was a painting in Podesta's office showing two men cannibalizing a third - all three, I believe, in suits.  not sure of the sourcing for that one, however

But once Wikileaks went public and viral, it opened up quite a few doors that attracted conspiracy theorists.[/quote]
What sick people.[/quote]
