WASHINGTON John Podesta has given it a lot of thought and believes the best way to deal with the trolls is to ignore them. His wife, Mary, however, takes a different approach. When angry people call their home in the middle of the night, she has a conversation with them.
She sits on the phone and talks to them, which is disconcerting actually to most of the people who are calling just to leave a nasty message on your voicemail, Podesta says. When somebody actually engages them and says, Why are you doing this? they fold pretty quickly. But she has more patience for that than I do.
Podesta is easily forgiven for having little time for his tormentors. Since 2016, he has been the victim of a deranged and viral conspiracy theory known as Pizzagate. The theory which has its roots in the emails stolen from his personal account by Russian hackers and dumped online by WikiLeaks claimed that Podesta was a pedophile and that he, Hillary Clinton and a Washington, D.C., restaurateur named James Alefantis ran a child sex-trafficking ring from the basement of Alefantis pizzeria, Comet Ping Pong.

Even after the arrest, Pizzagate lived on. The day after Welch stalked into Comet, Michael Flynn, Jr., the son of Trumps first national security adviser, tweeted: Until #Pizzagate proven to be false, itll remain a story. An Economist/YouGov poll in late December 2016 found that 46 percent of Trump voters and 17 percent of Clinton voters thought Pizzagate was real. A few months later, a small rally of Pizzagate believers took place outside the White House. Protesters have stood outside Comet carrying blown-up photos of Alefantis god-daughter taken from his social media accounts. Strangers online have threatened to torture, rape and kill him.
Ive been through a lot of Washington shit in my life, Alefantis tells Rolling Stone. He grew up in D.C., and dated David Brock, the notorious conservative journalist turned Clinton loyalist, for 10 years. This is not my first time at the rodeo, he says. I had never seen this volume of specific, directed attacks.

For four decades John Podesta has worked at the highest levels of American politics: campaign chairman for Hillary Clintons historic 2016 presidential run, chief of staff to President Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, counselor to President Obama and adviser to senators and congressmen. But nothing could prepare him for Pizzagate.
Speaking about the conspiracy theory and its impact on his life for the first time, Podesta tells Rolling Stone that he learned about it the old-fashioned way: from the news. As Clinton campaign chair, he had spent the final month of the 2016 race locked in hand-to-hand combat with reporters about the contents of his personal emails, which WikiLeaks was releasing in periodic batches to damage Clintons chances. He didnt have time to reflect on the hack, let alone notice the conspiracy theories bubbling up about him on websites like Reddit and 4Chan.
ETC...
I thought Russia had nothing to do with the actual, real Podesta email dump since it was leaked to Assange presumably by Seth Rich. Donna Brazile was scared crapless when the hit was put on Seth Rich.
Yeah and here it is, I DONT REMEMBER
A picture really is worth a thousand words.
It is really hard to get an evil picture out of your mind.
Summary:
Rolling Stone: “You’ve been accused of torturing and molesting children under horrible conditions... How does that make you FEEL”???
Podesta: “Just awful, thanks for asking.”
Pardon my language, but that is some sick shit!!
I couldn’t watch all of it. I really, really, really wonder how long God can let all of the wickedness and corruption in this world continue. Poor, poor little boy. I pray someone has found him and he is healing.
I was one of those investigators. Albeit only for a short time. My job was to gather evidence on confiscated computers.
only a few people know the true nature and presence of human trafficking.
........ the Russians hacked his emails enough and before long it becomes fact.........
I know, there is no proof of Russian hacks. That was a rumor, lie, that 0pansy, Comey ,Brennen, Clapper, Lynch foisted upon us. This is the beginning point of the great cover story to take out Trump. After this came the fabricated Steel documents to lie to the FISA courts that indeed Trump was dirty.
This whole Russia BS is a very well orchestrated cover up and without the media support, folks would be indited. So many top govt folks involved. Dan Bongino is the one that clearly explains it.
I led teams of agents, analysts and forensic specialists that supported major, interagency investigations. Another good friend of mine is an attorney who left a very good job here in the US and moved his family to India. He leads efforts to recover children from child sex traffickers.
After 20 years in the Army involved in counterterrorism and counterinsurgency operations, followed by 11 years with the FBI and DOJ, people call me “jaded”. Not even close.
Things like this make me think of Old Testament stories. Some believe that it was a cruel God who would tell His people to utterly destroy other nations. What we often dont consider is just how corrupt and evil the other nations were. I imagine that nations who eagerly engaged in sacrificing their own children wouldnt stop at any evil towards children.
All those involved in committing this evil and those in positions of law enforcement who ignore it and allow it to continue are as evil as those whose nations The Lord destroyed. They will at some point face His judgement. I just wish it would come quickly and children would be saved from them.
Clearly you must have a superior pedigree than the experts who have previously served within the institutions promoting the Russian narrative and whose credentialed experience supports the findings in their memos, all of the technical work having been co-opted via disobedientmedia.com.
Please share.

Your speculation was right.
“people call me jaded. Not even close.”
I retired, with nothing at age 34. I get where you’re coming from. You’re much better put together than I.
God bless with that. If you’re like me I imagine after all these years you’re “Ready to do something about it”.
Righteous.
That child and the others like him will be avenged.
Those who did this will NOT fare well in the judgment, if they do not repent.
Sin angers the Lord on general principle, but this sin is one He especially hates and is expressly singled out for an exceptionally severe judgment.
Read Matt. 18:6 and Luke 17:2.
From what I have read, they got it off the bundle of files. When they are created, the files have time date stamps on them, and they simply looked at the creation time of the first and last files to get that number.
Then they compare it to the size of the file bundle.
The article I read said that they actually tested the transfer speed from the DNC to elsewhere in Washington, and it couldn't come close to the speed the files show to have been transferred at. I think the point was to show it could not have been done by "Russians" because it was impossible to get an international internet connection to transfer any faster than the local one they tested.
The article I read said the speed was very consistent with the transfer time to a local media thumb drive.
The evil in this world is unfathomable. For most decent people the visceral reaction makes us want to believe it cannot be true so we can go about our lives with some sense of normalcy. You almost have to in order to maintain your sanity.
After a long time of researching these things, I’ve come to understand a couple of very important things to remember:
1. Even the perpetrators are victims. This reality is hard to accept because it goes against our need to see a resolution and justice. This does not mean that we should not seek to incarcerate or even execute the worst offenders. However, it is worth considering that the point is to stop or restrain evil. We cannot seek to retaliate by doing the same. Otherwise we will become like the perpetrators. As humans, we cannot commit such acts without being damaged by them ourselves. This is why our Constitution prohibits “cruel and unusual punishments”. When judging people like the Clintons and Podestas, realize that they may have all gone through similar tortures as children. They are probably the product of such SRA.
2. Only obedience to God can truly win the victory against evil. There are limits to what judicial, military, or even angry mobs can accomplish. This diabolical evil will grow until it reaches its apex in the middle of Daniel’s prophecies of the final seven years of this age (see Daniel 9-12). Antichrist will lead the most severe worldwide purge of Christians and Jews by first taking over the banking industry. But he will lose this war.
Revelation 12:11
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
The notion from the article I linked is that 2 GB in 87 seconds is impossible. That is clearly untrue. I did it in 26 seconds from an ordinary server in NYC to one in Dallas. Both are garden variety virtual servers that can be set up and run by any kind of hacker, or they locate offshore. It won't affect the speed.
I don't know what data center the DNC used, but it's very likely they got better internet service than my $5/month servers.
