Roger Stone tweeted that Flynn had a list of high ranking pedophiles that would decimate the deep state. Flynn's son tweeted about pizzagate but was quickly silenced. Pizza gate was and is real.

I don't know why it's so hard for people to comprehend that blackmail is and always has been prevalent in power circles, and that molesting children (a crime for which people are routinely killed in jail by other criminals) is perhaps the single greatest pressure point that could be employed.

Personally, and having worked for some very wealthy and powerful business people, I would be shocked if it wasn't true to a greater or lesser extent.

The other side has a clever way of “debunking” anything that doesn’t fit their narrative. With PizzaGate for example, they take the most outrageous of claims (there are children in a dungeon in the basement of Comet Ping Pong) and repeat it, while doing no reporting on the very real and creepy realities of the people and places involved. They don’t connect the dots, they don’t discuss the power of blackmail, or the prevalence of Satanism within their circles, and known pedophile symbolism at the places they frequent. They don’t mention that the owner of Comet PP is known to be one of the most powerful people in DC (Why is that?).

They basically say “PizzaGate is a white supremacist conspiracy theory that asserts that this sweet, gay, innocent owner of a pizza place in DC keeps children in a dungeon in the basement for Hillary Clinton to come feed on their blood.”

That headline has already convinced their readers that it’s a wild conspiracy theory, and to believe it would make you a bad person. Most “normal” people would run away from that instantly. There’s a term for this type of reporting (besides ”strawmanning”) but it’s not coming to me at the moment.
