Comet Ping Pong Basement reference gone ( pizzagate )

submitted by WakingUpisHardToDo

Just watched this on Diners Drive ins and Dives on Foodtv 5/5/17 and they have scrubbed any mention of a basement for the storage of their 4000 pounds of organic tomatoes that they can every year. Sorry if this has been discussed but doing on my phone

Could you link to what you were watching and put in a time where this disappearing basement happened, please. I'm confused at the moment - these links [under] were what I found on a cursory search.

CPP has 2 floors. http://archive.is/O4CSn

Personal observation: If the bands go into the backroom (which they call the basement because they need to go down a flight of stairs to go down a half level), what is under those stairs, going back the opposite direction, towards the front of the restaurant? Where is the rest of that second half level? The document clearly says 2 floors... Something isn't right.

Never was mentioned on the show. It was in a magazine article. Nothing to see here, folks.

Why do you think MSM uses 'the basement at Comet Ping Pong' so freely? They KNOW it is fake news so they promote it to try and discredit it everyone looking into pizzagate. We all know that it was a v.short lived theory, until the pictures from JA matched up with Bucks Fishing & Camping, instead. Lets ignore anything following this 'basement' lead its a distraction. IMO.

@WakingUpisHardToDo : Do you have a link to the episode, or the transcript of it? The way you've posted this contains no evidence of the scrubbing of the reference -- which is the news here. If we are going to share this with people, or use it as ammo for the coming meme war, we need the actual proof what you're saying is true. Can you edit it into your post?

Phenomenonanon

It's archived everywhere. Chump ain't hiding

carmencita

Yes. I could not get the archive link to appear correctly. It also had a picture of the Kill Room with comment of money under the sheet. The comments were sick. It was on Reddit. It was in an article about Alfantis and his two restaurants.

It doesn't matter because Alefantis owns a lot of property in the area. He has access to basements.

Mommyplayer571

We PG followers know. Why are they so concerned about the basement? If it's all innocent why any change or commotion? Why a denial? Sickness it is.

carmencita

ALEFANTIS: Well, we make everything from scratch. Other restaurants, even good restaurants, will, like, not roast their own peppers. You can just buy the roasted peppers in a can. Or you can buy garlic oil. Some products you can get, and they’re consistent and they’re easy. But I didn’t even know that existed actually until they said that. I was like, “What do you mean? There’s another way? You can just buy these things?” Because a lot of restaurants will open a can and put it on. Like our sauce — we harvest a whole crop of organic tomatoes — 10 tons of tomatoes every year. Can them all, store them in the basement, have like a harvest party when it gets loaded in.https://archive.is/2O5n7

Thank you. Just learned how to copy links and had a problem with this one. JA sure is an arrogant fellow on top of it.

basement reference under last picture in article

The basement is at Bucks. Who scrubbed it? Do you have a link? Your post is very vague.

srayzie

I see this is your first post. You should edit your original post, and then paste this link that you just shared in that. Because the post doesn't explain what you are referencing.

Only thing I have in my files that shows proof of a basement in CometPingPong was this tweet that was making the rounds back in January: https://twitter.com/exposing_wmd/status/839308442053521408

SoSpricyHotDog

Yeah, a link to the original would be pretty gosh darn telling.

OhRutherfordBehave

Do you have a link to the original?

Its so disgusting how all the people against pizzagate truth bring up the basement, its so silly and practically irrelevant.
