PWR BTTM - Music Group - Implicated in Sexual Assault, Possibly Involving Minors, Pizza related symbolism ( pizzagate )

submitted by SoSpricyHotDog

3rd Attempt - this keeps getting deleted I will define the importance of each and every link as requested by Millenial:

This post is related to the band PWR BTTM – a gay, punk rock group, that was in the process of gaining some serious traction. It looks like these guys sky rocketed - which is commonly reserved for entertainment/musicians that are "backed" by the Elite , got some solid gigs... all up until allegations of sexual assault, possibly involving minors, surfaced this week.

As I dug it started to feel very "Heavy Breathing" ish... And "King Khan and the Shrines"... but even more direct and with a new legal development.

I caught this headline from Drudge: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/la-et-ms-pwr-bttm-cancel-tour-20170515-htmlstory.html - This link is the article that was published on Drudge, which was still up on the homepage last I checked.

Another article: http://www.nme.com/news/music/pwr-bttm-touring-member-quits-bandmate-faces-sexual-assault-allegations-2070894 - This link actually references that it involves minors, specific to the member of the band being implicated - Ben Hopkins is the member of PWR BTTM that is being accused.

So, I started digging.

https://www.facebook.com/PWRBTTM666/photos - This is the band's Facebook image files... some select examples pulled out below. Pizza references on at least 3 occasions.

Since we’re all fans of Mr. George Webb, remember the mangoes?... I thought you may find it particularly interesting that this flashes at the end of one of their music videos.

https://snag.gy/0YDF6y.jpg - This image states "Too Many Mangoes", why is this important? It's totally out of context from the remainder of the video, and there are a number of links to citrus fruit - specifically, mangoes, being used to hide drug smuggling or perhaps even be a reference/code word for human trafficking. Here is a supporting link to reference the HRC email re: mangos: https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/6193

Even in their NPR Tiny Desk concert video... "Pizza Pouch" product is visible on a left shelf: https://youtu.be/ji-EdRtL9qUYouTubeYouTubeYouTubeYouTubeYouTubeYouTube - The significance here? Again, Pizza was intentionally placed on a shelf in the background. The links below are from other musical performances, that clearly show the "Pizza Pouch" product was included specifically, and only for PWR BTTM.

Realizing this was a NPR piece, I found other music videos in the "Tiny Desk" series, to make sure this pizza reference was unique. It was: [These links are just for reference... not implications of anything] http://www.npr.org/event/music/526732550/peter-silberman-tiny-desk-concert & http://www.npr.org/event/music/417459405/oddisee-tiny-desk-concert - you can see the same exact bottle placements, but, no slice of pizza on the shelf in numerous examples. Unlike the PWR BTTM video.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC92nWDgHESfyWwQVDd2f5cQ - This is the YouTube channel that houses all of their videos.

Notice the record label is called “Father/Daughter” records? The logo is that of a man holding a little girl’s hand. The music video above has a scene with Hulk Hogan in a ballerina costume with a little girl holding his hand. A harmless early 90’s movie scene on its own, but, takes on a new meaning in context.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDn4ZCo0NOU - This YouTube video was deleted! It was the one that contained the email address below. Here is an updated link to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqwwkETs4TU (Archive: http://archive.is/B3Q4l) )

Email listed in above video: ob8419 @ bard. edu

I have removed the links/supporting details that tie Bard back to previous Pizzagate/Voat topics in hopes that this post is not deleted. We can discuss below in terms of any links that connect Bard, Soros and Abramovic.

Thanks again for the help @jangles and @Dressage2

This is a key example of newsworthy content, related to what we're digging, with supporting imagery/symbolism. Keep it quiet. Don't post on their social media profiles. Get out the shovels and dig!

▼ Pipebomb

Excellent detailed post. You've got a good eye, I saw that NPR show back when it was newly released. Never saw the pizza pouch until now, as well as the other pizza related images. Thank you, your work is much appreciated!

▼ SoSpricyHotDog

Absolutely. This, like any other foundation post, is only the beginning. If the allegations against the musician are false, then we can chalk it up to a coincidence. However, if true and this unravels further, we should be ready to stay on top of this as it develops. The comments in other articles seem to suggest that there may have been multiple victims.

▼ Hopevoats

Great work! Thank you for your research. Those of us, who can't do it, really do appreciate it!

Ian Watkins, from Lost Prophets - My children used to like this band, but along with everyone was shocked at the crimes against babies/children this man committed and apparently still does not regret but boasts in it. After reading the article it says that he seems to have gone off the rails after moving to LA from UK, I wonder who he mixed with in LA? - Looking at the name of the group now, 'Lost Prophets' it would seem to have some connotation or connection with this SRA? Maybe another lead to pizzagate. Just a thought - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2525722/Lostprophets-paedophile-Ian-Watkins-described-child-sex-abuse-crimes-mega-lolz.html and http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/lostprophets-fan-gets-horrid-tweet-9344859

Hipster trash

This is pretty strong evidence against pizzagate. These allegations came out four days ago and now absolutely everybody is dropping this band like a hot potato -- see e.g. https://theawl.com/nevermind-about-pwr-bttm-2cbd978b2db8 -- which is the exact opposite of what pizzagate would predict would happen.

▼ SoSpricyHotDog

Could you elaborate? How exactly can the namesake of a research project, i.e. "Pizzagate" have the ability to "predict" anything? What does that even mean?

Are you basing this off of what happened @ CPP in DC? Because, we're talking about nearly an 180 degree situational difference. This is direct allegations vs. CPP which were indirect/inferred. If children/young adults came out to accuse CPP of abuse and there was evidence/corroboration, you still think there would be a massive out-pour of brainwashed DC leftists showing their support? Do you think CPP/JA would have still been leveraged as the "Fake News" Poster child victims?

CPP remains relatively unscathed because of the sheer lack of hard evidence. Circumstantial? Yes! Needs to be explained? Yes! But anything incriminating? (Outside of the alleged files lifted from the PC that was magically struck by a bullet) No!... doesn't look like an investigation will ever happen.

So.... yeah, in the world of "Fake News", if these allegations couldn't hold water - PWR BTTM could very well have become CPP/JA Part 2. The victims of "Fake News". But, considering they are being dropped by the label so fast, that leads me to believe there is something serious behind the accusations. Perhaps more than we currently know. Or maybe the singular accusation is true and this is all damage control to preserve their chance of success.

Either way, to say that this is strong evidence "against pizzagate" makes absolutely no sense.

Uhm the difference is that this is some shitty social justice punk rock band where Alefantis is rumored to be a Rothschild.

@Millennial_Falcon It appears that @SoSpricyHotDog has done a good job accommodating your request to "more clearly link your sources to the specific claims they are backing"

Please Leave this post up. There are real leads here connecting many of the alleged individuals implicated in pizzagate.

The connections between Bard University the Podesta Brothers, George Soros and Abramovic are clear and have questionable content worth investigation by this community.

▼ SoSpricyHotDog

Agreed Jangles!

One step at a time... my original posts had a TON in there, @Millennial_Falcon was probably thinking that it was all a bit too disconnected. I get it.

Thanks again for your assistance @jangles !

Let's cross reference some more points re: the Bard.edu connections, Soros files and Abramovic as the PWR BTTM story continues to unfold.

▼ Dressage2

I agree there several possible leads here. Definitely pizza gate related.

▼ dickface888

Before pizzagate I never knew "pedocore" was a thing.

▼ SoSpricyHotDog

I kind of wish I never knew this was a thing....
