It seems like everywhere I turn in media people are either talking about Pizzgate or trying to cover it up. I mean, it's everywhere. All over the MSM (mainstream media) there are stories about fake news sites, and the talking heads are really going to battle for their phony baloney jobs. I'm sure that anyone who listens to Alex Jones is ready to strap on the doomsday gear and head to Washington.
Whenever someone is telling me something REALLY BIG and REALLY IMPORTANT is happening, I have a tendency to put on my skeptic's hat.
Whenever someone says, "think of the children" I'm checking for my wallet.
I've been hearing about the "Elite Pedophile Ring" in the alternative media for a couple of years now, so I don't have any objection to the coverage, per say, but I have some questions that I think few are considering.
----When you look at the way the sides are lining up, it appears that there are two very distinct and opposing sides, or teams, to the coverage. Those two teams are going to produce distinct opposing "teams" of people who either believe the "Fake News" narrative or the "#Pizzagate" narrative. This is a very divisive and emotional issue so people are going to form strong opinions about the issue and will engage in negative rhetoric and possibly violence against each other. Doesn't this look like one of the Elite's tactics of Divide and conquer? like:
or:
or this:
----Wikileaks: are they trustworthy? I know people are going to tell me they have never been proven wrong, but I think that's beside the point. Who are they, and how can we be sure of motive? I first heard of Wikileaks when the Bradley Manning story came out. Bradley Manning was an Army Private who became a whistle-blower, but got caught because he is sexually confused, so now he goes by Chelsea and is awaiting sex reassignment surgery at US taxpayer expense in Ft. Leavenworth military prison. Julian Assange is a reality TV star, attracting unbelievable worldwide ratings. He's been living in the Ecuadorian embassy in London causing mayhem and the governments of the world have been powerless to stop him. He receives a visit from Pamela Anderson, loses internet access, activates a "dead mans switch," and now he's "vanished." The speculation is that he's been kidnapped by the CIA.
Okay, so if you can read all that and not wonder if your reading a failed B movie script your imaginator is broken. (yes, I know it's not a word) Question is: if it looks like a bad script, why should I assume it isn't one? Maybe someone can help me out here, but I don't see why I should assume any of the narrative s surrounding Wikileaks should be believed unquestioningly.
----The whole Pizzagate thing is really entrenching the idea that there is a battle going on in the media world between independent journalists/researchers and the MSM. All the independent sources I come across consistently reinforce the idea that the MSM is dying, losing credibility, losing audience, etc... The thing is, I have a hard time with the idea that these billionaires who spend millions every year researching social trends and manipulation tactics are going to miss out on the huge audience abandoning their traditional platforms. If CNN is willing to pay Chris Cuomo $2.5mil, then they would probably be okay with paying some recent college graduate $40,000/year to stay home and make youtube videos... Right?
----Here's the last one for today: If all the internet sleuths and truth seekers are spending all their time researching Pizzagate, what are they missing? In other words, could Pizzagate be a fools errand"
Let me know what you think.
