isnt that the heavy breathing chick?

Strange indeed. He's a art collector with no art on the walls.

I see one big map of Berlin on the floor. I sure don't see multiple maps, and it's not a "semen of Berlin" or whatever word-substitution cipher 4chan would use.

The map on Alefantis' floor, where is that? Doesn't look like DC to me. It has pin makers on it. Would be interesting to know those locations....

Continuing with a look at the creatives...

Review :

"On Sunday summer nights for the past four years, households across the land have turned into True Blood viewing party venues, where folks infatuated with the HBO show's campy, sexually perverse storytelling convene and wish they could sip some of that bottled blood sold at Fangtasia and Merlotte's Bar and Grill. Here's the perfect gift for them: A Southern-minded cookbook overseen by former True Blood showrunner Alan Ball that offers over 80 recipes and 150 photos of their favorite characters. Help your friends' sixth season bashes get even freakier with dishes like Stake and Eggs and I Wanna Snapper in Two and some Dead on the Beach cocktails."-- Complex.com

Well, I guess that's considered edgy in Washington. Moving on...

Oh, and here she is on the Host Committee of TransformerDC: http://www.transformerdc.org/special-events/co-chairs-host-committee/the-9th-annual-transformer-silent-auction-benefit-party

funny that they referred to him as an art collector

And how is Alefantis considered an "artist"...does not seem that he has any training or creates any art?? We need someone who can really enhance the image to look for details...like the map. It is definitely marked for something, but the details are hard to see.

The desk even has wheels on it

I mean the desk even has wheels on it...

As an aside, I've just found this image of Alefantis with a David Cohen. Isn't he the Deputy Director of the CIA ? https://archive.is/S0c5i

I've seen this before but didn't pay it much attention but now that you've brought it up it could be interesting to look into. The maps are a big point of interest. My first reaction to this, viewing with new eyes, is... where was this taken?

There is just so much information to go through here. So I'm just going to do a data dump here.

First creative in article, Andy Anas Shallal :

according to wikipedia, ' * is an Iraqi-American artist, activist and entrepreneur. He is best known as the proprietor of the Washington, DC area restaurant, bookstore, performance venue Busboys and Poets and local philanthropist. He is also well known for his opposition to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He was a 2013 candidate for Mayor of Washington, D.C. ' *

Picking up from Voat thread Hillary Clinton, Family and Friends:Non Profits Haiti, Iraq https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1473408:

Lissa Muscatine is a best friend of Hillary. Her bookstore is two doors down from James Alefantis Comet Pizza. She links to many power players. The Washington Post, where she and her husband worked. Melanne Verveer, a writing partner, who founded Vital Voices, a charity that covers Haiti, with Hillary Clinton. And a recent partnership with Andy Shallal, an Iraqi radical who ran for mayor. (We do not criticize him for opposing war. We wonder why he wants to be mayor of the city that wrecked his homeland, and what he knows about this power block of secrets that endanger all researchers.) The Iraqi loyalist Andy Shallal, with a huge financial fortune, connects with non-profits that are biased for the Democratic Party and the Clintons. Busboys and Poets is a primary non-profit business of his. He owns other restaurants.

Teachers for Change is another non-profit connected to Busboys and Poets. All the teachers featured loathe Donald Trump, and his ally Breitbart. This looks like political propaganda. There are teachers of all views who want to help children learn better. Their volunteer work is disdained. The other non-profit has the name For the Love of Children, which seems to be a useful and sincere charity. They work with vulnerable low-income youth, in Washington DC, and this website quote is odd, “… From our founding call to close a city-run warehouse for young wards of the state…”

The Iraqi Shallal has every reason to loathe the USA for the damage done to Iraq during the recent war. Yet he wants to be mayor of the city, Washington DC that devastated his nation, and also he also seeks to influence the minds of American children. (Yes, he was raised by a pizza-restaurant owning family, refugees from Iraq.)

Second creative, Victoria F. Gaitan :

Just do a Google image search.

Also, She's done a contemporary art show with Patricia Piccinini: https://archive.is/bmFST . Piccinini is one of Tony Podesta's favorite artists: http://archive.is/n2Xut .

Gaitan is also associated with Cirque du Rouge. A quick look through the website makes me feel it's worth a closer look. http://www.cirquedurouge.com/location .

EDIT: Her husband Alberto Gaitan has worked with Alefantis' TransformerDC http://www.transformerdc.org/documents/Transformer-E10.press.release.pdf

Third creative, Richard Gould:

art collector, works at Smithsonian museum. At Tony Podesta's home https://washingtonlife.smugmug.com/2010-Photos/Transformer-Collectors-View-IV/i-qrQW5mj/A .

Mera Rubell, Art Collector:

Can you say Studio 54?

Miami based art collectors Don and Mera Rubell, also own Rubell Hotels. Don's brother Steve Rubell was co-owner of Studio 54. Of course they are linked with TransformerDC and Tony Podesta.

is someone sleeping on the floor in the lower right?

It gives a drug-user-sleeping-on-a-mattress-on-the-floor sort of a vibe.

It seems to me that this is not just a random selection of 'creatives'. Right now I'm playing 'connect the dots'. Back in a while.

The carpet barely has any footprints. Looks as if it were recently vacuumed or cleaned.

Very interesting photo

It appears to be a map of DC with a few locations marked on it. Could be wrong though. It's 5:30am and I've only had one cup of coffee.
