[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Level of denial of WHAT for god's sake?  Shut UP.  Posters who want to believe in nefarious conspiracies and promulgate them while, as an aside, saying sure this bullshit, hate-fueled, mental illness-fueled story is proooooobably fake are part of the problem.  YOU are part of the problem, last poster.  There is no pizza code.  There is no 'degenerate art' (<--- look it up.) type kiddie-trading ring.  Just shut up you stupid goddamned monster, and stop giving any form of plausibility to this.  [/quote]

Bill's Lewinski affair was dismissed as a conspiracy theory.

The use of torture in the GWOT was dismissed as a conspiracy theory.

NSA bulk collection of every single American's meta-data and every e-mail was dismissed as a "tin-foil hat" conspiracy theory, AND denied, under oath, by DNI Clapper.

Yet all turned out to be true.

Sorry PP,  given the frequency with which our government , and the two (2) political parties who comprise our government,  LIE to us about issues minor and major,  you do not get to simply dismiss  unfavorable accusations as "conspiracy theories" or increasingly, "fake news."

The American people do not trust our government anymore (nor should they).

That being said, the evidence I've seen points to "PizzaGate" as a 4chan hoax, with no indication of any Paedophile ring. The story has no support in fact, nor even a hint of fact from anything I've seen.

By the way, John Podesta's brother does indeed have or has  a fine art collection  in his Falls Church home, including photographs of naked teenagers taken by a well-known modern photo artist (would you like the WaPo link again?).  I see nothing unlawful in that.  What you choose to believe about that art is up to you.[/quote]

Does news get concealed?  Of course.  Is anything you listed anywhere near similar to pizzagate in terms of sheer lunacy and complete absence of fact?  No.  Pizzagate is an internet-mediated conspiracy theory, similar to 9-11 truthers, chemtrails, etc.  There's a big difference between coverups (which I agree with you, definitely happen) and willfully promoting or creating actual lies and conspiracy theories for political reasons (like pizzagate, swiftboating, Obama birthers, etc.)  Cover-ups are bipartisan and to a certain extent government as usual.  Using conspiracy theories as a political tactic is a kind of psyops used exlusively by the right lately.  Puffery and exaggeration happen on both sides.  [/quote]
