Elon Musk’s ‘Pizzagate’ Post Sets X Ablaze, Fuels Speculation
Trending Politics ^ | November 28, 2023 | By Mark Steffen

Elon Musk is fueling speculation about the veracity of the infamous “Pizzagate” controversy after one of the leading mainstream media voices who called the issue “debunked” pleaded guilty to charges of trafficking child pornography.

In a series of posts on X, Musk posted an “Office”-themed meme about the arrest of James Gordon Meek, a 13-year veteran of ABC News who in July reached a deal with federal prosecutors that saw him plead guilty to possessing dozens of child abuse images. Another post by Musk linked to an NBC news story about Meek’s plea deal.

The post has resurfaced a debate among conservatives about the truth behind the infamous Pizzagate controversy, which alleged that high-level members of the Democratic Party were using a Washington, D.C. area pizza restaurant to coordinate the sexual trafficking of children. After the leak of emails belonging to John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, online critics claimed Podesta wrote coded messages about abuse occurring at the Comet Ping Pong pizzeria.

The speculation ultimately resulted in the arrest of a man who traveled across the country and entered the restaurant with a firearm in a bid to save the children he thought were being held there.

In 2017, Meek contributed to a story about Russian disinformation during the 2016 campaign which called the issue a “debunked conspiracy theory.” The evidence that Meek himself was a child sexual abuser is enough to set the internet ablaze about why he would seek to discredit the controversy.

It hasn’t helped Democrats that other high-profile supporters have been accused or convicted of pedophilia-related crimes, most notably Jeffrey Epstein. The philanthropist was found dead in his jail cell in 2019 after being arrested on a series of child abuse crimes, leading to an avalanche of theories that the Clintons, Bill Gates, or other Democratic glitterati orchestrated his murder. However, a federal investigation concluded that Epstein committed suicide and blamed his death on poor oversight by jail officials.

That hasn’t stopped some in the GOP like Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) from seeking Epstein’s flight records in an attempt to see who else may be implicated in pedophilia that has now ensconced itself within the liberal and media elite.

"[Musk's] post has resurfaced a debate among conservatives..."

No, all it's done is send insane degenerate libs to somehow again declare it DEBUNKED.

Expect them to say "Those stupid conservatives are at it again. This was thoroughly debunked before."

Of course, it is "debunked" only in the fevered minds of the guilty.

“Pizzagate controversy, which alleged that high-level members of the Democratic Party were using a Washington, D.C. area pizza restaurant to coordinate the sexual trafficking of children.”

That is the mass media caricature of the “Pizzagate controversy”.

What it really was about were the Podesta emails which kept using the words “pizza” when they made no sense—except in the context of child trafficking.

Those emails suggested that leading “movers and shakers” in politics, mass media, entertainment etc were deeply involved in sharing children as sexual “toys”.

Pizzagate. A redpill among so many. As always, disregard instruction from the media and use your intuition.

No explanation needed. It was thoroughly debunked. They said so.

The startling evidence, and arrest, of James Gordon Meek, a 13-year veteran of ABC News, that, he, himself was a child sexual abuser, set the internet ablaze about why Meek would seek to discredit the notorious “Russian disinformation” controversy.

In 2017, Meek contributed to the story about the salacious Russian disinformation allegation
meriting media attention, (surfacing during Trump’s 2016 campaign) which called the issue a “debunked conspiracy theory.”

“debunked” has become a “bullshit word”. It’s not used to pursue or promote truth; it’s used to stifle legitimate discussion.

In practice, “debunked” usually means “probably true”.

Just like:
“Racist”
“Nazi”
“Climate emergency”
“Climate catastrophe”
“Gender affirming”
“Resilience”

etc, etc, etc

Same old playbook.

Never believe a rumor until it’s been “debunked”.

One other correction of the article’s misinformation.

Podesta himself wrote none of the emails with the pizza language—not one.

In fact he never responded to any of the emails that mentioned pizza.

It was the movers and shakers writing to Podesta that used the pizza language.

That was part of what raised the “red flag” to those combing the emails.

Podesta was far too intelligent to use emails to communicate on such matters.

So.... the people who "debunked" the conspiracy theory were apparently participating in the conspiracy.
