Well yeah. IIRC abuse victims have come out and said this. If you are pretty or intelligent, you are spared, tortured and mind controlled. Otherwise you are killed.

Pretty disgusting.

Someone last night suggested Alefantis is a "fixer", which would explain his two late-night visits to the WH on Sept. 26 and 27th.

They are Useful Idiots on another scale. Alefantis is one of them. However, even if he was a victim of child abuse and torture, his sins outweigh his good. He needs to be tried for his crimes, like everyone else.

IIRC Robert Fish (the serial killer) was beaten and molested as a child. Doesn't mean the fact that he killed and ate children was suddenly okay. He was made into a psychopath, not born as one, but that doesn't excuse his shit.

Comet Ping Pong = CIA operation

Great link!

Being influential without any formal position and without being known for anything means that James Alefantis was most likely a fixer. The Oxford Dictionary of English defines fixer as

a person who makes arrangements for other people, especially of an illicit or devious kind.

I do not know what Alefantis was fixing. Exhibition opportunities for artist, gay sex, ping pong balls? I do not think it was pizza for Hillary's campaign staff.

I do not have time to catch people up on the last four years of Benghazi. If you do not follow the connection I do not know what else to say. I have a trip to prepare for. I cannot write a book at this time.

Spot-on.

I guess you have not seen my article: http://ladonnarae1961.blogspot.com/2016/12/benghazi-pizzagate.html

Yes. #Benghazi.

Many, which is why I am asking about him. His link to the Clinton Foundation is more than the occasional "dinner party". I am just running a lead. That is what investigators do. Ask questions, get the answers (which lead to more questions), ask more questions, repeat.

My take: GQ is ran and staffed by a buncha phags / dandies

FFS. you are a complete waste of my time. If you DID know who I am you would STOP WASTING MY TIME WITH BULLSHIT I ALREADY KNOW!!! Bye now.

Amazing how the trolls are out attacking me and I have barely been on Voat for a little over a week! Been following me on other forums, by any chance? Worried about my upcoming trip? Now run along and play.

Um, because you obviously have no idea what I have been doing, what I am doing, what I have said, nor anything else...speaking of SHILLS. Bye now.

"I believe the vast majority of agents are clean and just doing their job."

The only reason you'd believe something like that is because you accept at face value the Hollywood depiction of the CIA. Most people mistake Hollywood for reality.

Exactly what I was thinking

Voat.co research has established that Alefantis has a vast business empire - he has so many fingers in so many pies, the only logical explanation is that his career as a restauranteur is only a very small part of the picture and may just be a cover.

There we go. Good points.

I've been thinking the same thing

Another sane comment. SIGH I wish I were getting more of those. LOL

I feel like he was an abducted child that someone powerful like my guess would be daddy Bush, and he was special enough to keep and treat him like a Queen.

I don't want to discourage any potential talking point or any line of investigation. Certainly, I think these people who are involved think they're untouchable and have left a lot of clues hidden in plain sight. This could be one of them, but I think some people might be reading too much into the GQ ranking thing.

It's definitely intriguing at first glance, but my thinking is that a simpler explanation is that the writers who were compiling this list probably wanted to include a few non-politicians so the list isn't too boring and is moderately entertaining to check out.

I hope they do... I know it will be more or less what I wrote at https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1507493/7322268 ... but it will be good to have it on the record since their website seems to leave out a lot of the explanatory info that is in the print magazine.

I think you are missing my point. CIA gets lumped into one category by conspiracy theorists. "EVERYONE IN CIA IS INVOLVED IN DEEP, DARK, MURKY, SATANIC CRAP." See what I mean? I am simply making the distinction. Now I really need to get back to the focus of my threads.

Is a hypothesis I am def working from

You can search it online. Interesting changes over the years. LOL

He and Brock were a 'power couple.' Brock controls the MSM media in DC through the pink mafia network.

Another Clinton Foundation connection.

Based on ....maybe a one night stand. A dead fly on the computer screen. A hangover.

ANBRFTS.Y. Ain't nobody ready for that shit. Yet.

GQ's crew is a bunch of little boys who sit around gaming and joking about doing each other all day. No longer any serious journalists there, afaik

Is he/his father Greek?

It's odd that Alefantis is listed as "Bon Vivant" in addition to "Restaurateur". Is that an inside joke? How did he earn his reputation as a notable Bon Vivant?

Definition of bon vivant plural bons vivants play \ˌbän-vē-ˈvän(t)s, ˌbōⁿ-vē-ˈväⁿ(z)\ or bon vivants play \same\

:  a person having cultivated, refined, and sociable tastes especially with respect to food and drink

its a great question. I think that you guys are missing something. I am trying to tell you, but I sound crazy trying to tell you this. in order to truly understand pizzagate, you must understand the pizza, you must understand the rose. Alefantis is obviously in the ruling rosicrucean elite. I left something big already on VOAT, its kind of being buried. The videos are not the best quality, but if you follow, you will not look at pizzagate, nor art the same ever again. Picasso can only be seen in light of pizzagate, through the rose. Remember American Beauty ? Remember Mena Survari standing in front of the wall that Lester Burnam "lustre burning" the burn't offering of Leopold Bloom of Ulysses (American Beauty is Ulysses as Ulysses was the Oddyssey) got his brains splattered all about. It was actually Mena Survari whose brains were blown out. There was a transfer in meaning through the rose. Our movies are about pizzagate, our poems are about pizzagate, our greatest artists have painted pizzagate though secret symbolism. the pizza is the rose. it is made of flour "flower", the pepperonis are little red roses. the round like pie. 3.14 the evil mirror of 13/14, the mirror cross. a black mass. DiVinci's Last Supper, the two marks on the floor, draw them up and you will see that there is an invisible cross on Christs back because he was the meal. That is why Judas is pictured with the knife making the kill gesture with his other hand. Christ being sacrificed is the religion of the rosicruceans. All the pieces fit. Here is an article I put out there: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1506322 You can do all the hard research, but if you don't even know who you are up against... well isn't the the first rule in the art of war, to know who you enemy is ?

anyone found a BIRTH CERTIFICATE for a James Alefantis yet? I'm waiting.

yes, done that search. WE ARE TAKING FOR GRANTED EVERYTHNG that is being "handed to us" by the web, regarding this so called "Alefantis"...

and no, I'm not going to ask anyone to "excuse my caps key". bite me if you don't like it. Guy is either Alefantis or not, but he APPEARS to use "Achilles" just as much if not more than his supposed last name. Very interesting references in any case. He's not who he is claimed to be. May be a former victim himself, for all we know (which doesn't excuse a thing, frankly, since now he's "joined the team") - and what with the multiple personality traits he exhibits, plus his trained ACTING (on camera, etc) I'd say he's a ringer.

James Alefantis : ????

His pizza place is chosen for big fundraisers, but why?

The only time he ever seemed to come up was as the lover of David Brock back when they were an item, but David Brock is not on the list of "most powerful" people in D.C. despite crating and owning Media Matters for America and super PACS like Correct the Record.

Yet his ex-boyfriend James Alefantis is considered more powerful.

Slowly but surely I get the feeling that Alefantis and friends are imposing to be pedos to lure real pedos in, but on the other hand this is impossible because of the investigations from the web. Reading everyday about this stuff really makes me sad...

Also you are only searching the online site which is just the Gallery. Not the full article from the magazine Every person was given a little blurb of copy. Eater DC pulled out these quotes

Then, coming in at #49, Alefantis makes the list as both a "restaurateur and bon vivant" thanks to the "liberal twentysomethings in khakis" who eat at Comet Ping Pong and the "[m]ore established progressives" who flock to Buck's Fishing & Camping. Also, "If you don't know him, you aren't wearing your scarf right." Well OK then.

His "power" seems to be on the social scene because people eat in his restaurants. You have heard of the idea of a "trendsetter."

How did the Weather Bloggers make 38?
38. Capital Weather Gang Bloggers, The Washington Post

Why did another restaurant owner make #41? 41. José Andrés Restaurateur

How did three party planner make #42? 42. Svetlana Legetic, Jayne Sandman, Barbara Martin Party planners

How did a pitcher make #47 47. Stephen Strasburg

Perhaps it's actually hard to come up with an interesting list of 50 and perhaps genuine power is not exactly the criteria. If you think style and trends and influences day to day life, it makes sense to have a baseball player and a couple of restaurant owners on the list. Also Weather Bloggers, they literally have the power to control the weather. Pitcher, Washington Nationals

His "power ranking" on its face is baffling. I have a hard time believing he is CIA because of how... public... he has been with his posts and crazy shit up until people began digging. Wouldn't he be less ostentatious if he was CIA? I could see the elites thinking they could brand anyone who called the shitbag out on his creepy posts as "homophobic" because they have used that label so successfully to brand people in the recent years... but I have a hard time believing the CIA would be directly partnered with someone so sloppy. JMO.

Someone did a great piece on his genealogy. It was posted yesterday on v/pizzagate .

I can try, but I doubt they will answer me. LOL

So because he was David Brock's boyfriend he got to visit the White House five times? And specifically on September 26 & 27, 2012? Why does he own so many properties within a mile of the George Bush Intelligence Center (McLean)? So many questions.

So a S.O. of David Brock is more powerful than 90% of the actual members of the US federal government ? Howzat work?

My theory for what it's worth is that he is a C.I.A. asset and he is in the business of finding and pimping out children.

Indeed. This is one of the main pieces of circumstantial evidence that proves that more is going on than meets the eye.
