I'm not sure.
The FBI refuses to comment on the story either way at this point.
Here is a link to the WaPo and NYT article. Also the link to the VC article. You decide.
The argument is, that if it is fake, it is hurting real folks. OTH, the power of elites could be covering up some real corruption.
And then, the angle I like best, which I posted, is that, yes, there are small instances where this type of shit goes on, but on this scale?
If it isn't true, but then powerful interests manufacture such a story, it would be a major coup in order to discredit the alternative press, which often times don't have the resources, capital, and standards to vet stories like the establishment press more often times does.
Note, this is an
opinion piece;
‘Pizzagate’ shows how fake news hurts real people
That opinion piece was based off of this technology piece;
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/21/t...ria-is-not-a-child-trafficking-site.html?_r=0
That technology piece was an effort to spin in a different way the bad image of these pictures, images, artist connections, and Wikileaks. Granted, nothing in this trove is concrete, nor can it be nailed down. But, if you know the nature of the occult and these folks, that is what you would expect to find. So who is to say? In America we believe in innocent till proven guilty. However, for decent salt of the earth folks, everything going on in these circles seems to stink.
As they say, if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and well, you get the drift. It could be a planted story, it could just be a bunch of odd folks, it could be some twisted people, it could be. . who the hell knows?
