Interesting the the word 'Podesta' literally translates to Power https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/podesta

"Literally" is an overused word.

"Podesta: a chief magistrate in a medieval Italian municipality"

I agree with you that it is overused but did you see the entry just below the MW definition?

Origin and Etymology of podesta Italian podestà, literally, power, from Latin potestat-, potestas, irregular from potis able

The_Invincible_Moose

So it's literally derived from a Latin word that literally means "power." Not sure if this coincidence is important unless the Podestas changed their name to that for nefarious reasons.

Impossible to say, but what are the chances?? Just another nail in the 'proverbial' coffin, I suppose.

This offers great context to this case and is an example of another media outlets opening up to the evidence surrounding this complex issue.

Of course. The puppet masters could never maintain such tight control without extremely powerful sources of blackmail.

So, widespread except for US? And pizzagate is a Roger Stone creation? Pick one.

This article does not validate Pizzagate. There are many provable pedophile scandals, and Pizzagate aint one of them.

Yup. Its funny that its the same old game. The national enquirer syndrome. They publish truth alongside bullshit celebrity crap so no one takes it seriously. The daily express along with the daily mail are limited hangout tabloid rags. Murdock owned. Babies thrown out with bathwater.

The daily express along with the daily mail are limited hangout tabloid rags. Murdock owned.

Ermm, the Express is actually owned by Richard Desmond and the Mail is owned by a so-called Lord Rothermere.

Murdoch and his News Corp owns tabloids like the Sun and other rags like the Times, Wall Street Journal, numerous publications in Australia like Vogue and The Australian, international magazines such as the National Geographic magazine as well as 67% of the National Geographic Channel, and many more besides. Just not the two you mentioned.

Assumption on my part. Doesn't change their status as limited hangouts in my eyes. Thnx for the clarification though. Richard Desmond and his Aisian Babes...I want you to know I only read it for the articles, quality journalism right there.

Konran

No problem.

And same for me with Hustler and Playboy (when I was younger of course).

And yeah - I think the articles in those 'adult' magazines are more useful than those of the shite publications we've mentioned before!
