NEW LEAD fresh off the barbie.
anon at half-chan has been digging into a youth writing program called
'826dc.'
that is having their
annual fundraiser at Comet
soon.
"Tutors kids, weird symbolism on its site, members of the board tied to Clintons and orphanages. It has chapters in SF, LA, DC, and a few other places."
so all the usual suspicious activies/characters we used to seeing. what struck me odd was that the whole organization is peculiarly tied together with a magic shop called
Tivoli's Astounding Magic Supply Co.
appears like the two companies are owned by the same group, as Tivoli's is predominately displayed at the bottom of each page on 826dc's site.
check out some of the weird shit for sale there:
Showmanship
'performance enhancer'...with no ingredients (or warnings/usage) listed.
Stage Fright Antidote
'performance enhancer'...again, with no ingredients (or warnings/usage) listed.
Pizzazz
'performance enhancer...*does not include pizza' wtf?
an obligatory
Ouija board
...
related: if you dukdukgo '826dc alefantis,' it takes you to the
Penn-Faulkner Organization.
Ctl-F 'alefantis' and you'll see that jimmy comet and the esteemed honorable chuck e. cheese, er i mean schumer, as well as some other familiar faces, are on the Benefit Committee.
happy digging!

I find all of this pretty interesting and cute.
We have a winner.

Yay! Let's go after acclaimed writing programs now! Let's go after free tutoring for kids in need.

Strange they taped a sheet over the creepy artwork in the background of the "annual fundraiser" picture. They've painted over that wall since then.

i understand the 'performance enhancers' aren't real lol (and completely agree that the placebo effect is a great trick), i just found it strange that there was no fine print or disclaimer listed...
apparently every 826 location has a magic shop in its storefront and that the tutoring centers are all hidden. the whole setup just seems off to me.
according to Executive Director Joe Callahan, “It forces kids to learn how to tell great stories, to build climax, to play with words. There’s also a long history of magical realism that can play into writing. I think we’ll have a lot of great stories that come from it.”

This calls for more investigation imo. It raises enough suspicion. Another perfect set up to draw in the kids, by Jimmy and Friends. Board members connected to Clinton is a no-brainer. Keep digging.

Weird, not sure if it is connected.
