In 2016 there was a conspiracy theory ,with zero evidence, being promoted that alleged Comet Pizza in DC allowed the Clintons to operate a child sex ring in the basement. The owner recieved thousands of death threats. An out of state guy decided to check it out for himself and showed up demanding to see the child sex ring. He carried a rifle and fired one shot. No one was injured. There is no basement. Whack job was arrested and Alex Jones publicly apologized for promoting the conspiracy theory. The end ?

Old conspiracy theories don’t die. Pizzagate minimally lives on Qanon and some posters insists there is a Satonic global pedo ring run by the Clintons and other celebrities with ground zero being Comet Pizza. A guy, with lighter fluid and matches, attempted to set the restaurant on fire in January. It was quickly contained. Whack job was apprehended, despite resisting arrest.

Then it comes out his parents had reposted a video from Qanon on social media two days befor their son attempted arson. No worries. Trump and Mueller together are secretly fighting the satonic cabal.

Not sure why you are posting this... are you trying to gaslight that whole issue again? Because there is absolutely nothing of importance or value here.

Why?

Why not?

The capture of the arsonist is relatively recent news.

People have a tendency to believe anything when it seems to validate their perceptions. And some of them act on it.

Whack jobs cross the political spectrum.

We have recent news about how the FBI/DOJ under Mueller kept the Epstein matter quiet, and Allison Macks trial is coming up that will undoubtedly implicate some hollywood celebs. There is more than nothing going on here. Clinton performed a sex act with a cigar in the White House. Might run in their family.

Whoever decided to tie the sex ring scandals in with a specific pizza place was a genius. They created a paradigm where if you could prove that none of this stuff was going on at this one pizza place, then you had also proven that it wasn't happening at all anywhere. I think maybe a lot of powerful people got away with a lot of very depraved things because of the way the issue was tied in so closely with this specific pizza joint.

blah blah blah. These "whis is why we will win" and pointing at someone pointing out reality to you is not actually a convincing argument. We will win because his supporters are gullible? Maybe. but probably not.

This news basically demonstrates the right-wing conservative party in a nutshell.


How is that of no value? Because we already know that and just need to accept it?

At times, even the most logical and rational people can be duped. That is, the Spocks of this world can become fooled. A mind can be constructively or destructively creative.
