Daily Beast Writer Goes After Ben Swann for Raising Questions About #Pizzagate

Plainly, the incessant pushback by shills like Ben Collins from the Daily Beast is precisely why I’m more inclined to believe something is very wrong with Comet Ping Pong Pizza. It isn’t the message boards, or the conspiracy theorists, but the strongly worded and smug opinions of people who are always proven wrong that lead me to believe, once again, they’re wrong.

Here is the very straight forward and hardly conspiratorial reporting by Ben Swann regarding Comet Ping Pong and the incessant fervor by the media to quickly and thoroughly dismiss it as bunk.

In response to that, Ben Collins from the Daily Beast affixed a tin foil hat onto a picture of Swann, penned a useless article that tried to tie him to the MUH Russians, and then bitched about some of Swann’s previous work and the fact that no one at CBS Atlanta took his calls.

Right.

Here’s Collins in his ‘gotcha moment’, Pulitzer worthy, piece today.

IMG_6149

In his last job at Russian state-TV outfit Russia Today in 2015, he reported that “any credible evidence does not seem to exist” that Russia shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, simply that it “fit the narrative the U.S. administration was hoping for.” On his own YouTube channel he said he had “major problems with the theory” that the Aurora, Colorado, theater shooting and Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings were each conducted by “lone gunmen.”

“There’s a good reason to question this whole narrative: There’s been no evidence so far provided by police, other than what they’ve told us,” he said in his Sandy Hook truther video.
Swann took the same approach to Tuesday’s Pizzagate exposé, saying he spent the “last month investigating” it. In the report, Swann never reached out to any of the mentioned pizza shops, the FBI, the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, John Podesta, the Clinton campaign, or any of the people named or featured in pictures that aired throughout the report.

“To be clear, not one single email in the Podesta emails discusses child sex trafficking or pedophilia. That is a fact, but there are dozens of what seem to be strangely worded emails dealing with pizza and handkerchiefs,” he said. “What the media is ignoring is that the Comet Ping-Pong Pizza place is actually referenced in the Podesta emails at least a dozen or so times.”

Let me get this straight. Ben Swann is wrong for even mentioning Comet Ping Pong and Besta Pizza and satanic rock performers who play regularly at Comet, who by the way literally have a logo synonymous with pedophilia representing them, because he used to work for the fucking Russians at RT and some of his previous work questioned main stream media reporting of events that looked and sounded like complete bullshit to others not bluepilled?

That’s Swann’s niche you fucking idiot.

The problem with the main stream media shills, aside from being ineffective and not serious in their thinking, is that they believe they own the truth. Often times the truth is a phantom, a ghost in the wilderness, being shrouded and protected by people who have an incentive to conceal it.

Personally, I welcome people like Swann, and others like him, with the courage to discuss topics that many are thinking about, but never get a chance to actually hear about it in the media — which is why the internet is crushing them into a thousand tiny pieces to be flushed away into the vast sea of oblivion.

Ben Swann did nothing wrong.

    Besta pizza had the pedo logo and swapped it when this broke. That’s all you need to know

    I thought it was the best video so far on the subject because it was presented simply as “here’s the evidence, nothing is proven, someone in law enforcement should probably look into this.” Most of what I’ve seen elsewhere has been riddled with misinformation and a desperate desire for this all to be true. I don’t know if it’s true, I sure as hell hope it isn’t, but even as a skeptic I have to say there’s enough here that someone in law enforcement needs to be looking into this.

    Just another conspiracy nut paraded for TV ratings. Russia TV on the ole resume certainly adds credibility. Yes, that plane just fell from the sky. Yes, Swann’s niche is discredited conspiracy theories. Anyone who perpetuates the Sandy Hook truther bull shit should be hung by the balls and beaten with ebola-dipped baseball bat. You believe that crap FLY? Then tell it to the parents who lost children there.

      Goebbels is reported to have said: Say something once and it’s a lie. Say it twice and it’s a lie. Say it 1000X and it’s an eternal truth. Regardless of who said it, that is the way it works.

      Do you have any idea how often Fake News media like Breitbart and Fox repeats lies and evidence-free conspiracy theories about Democrats? A lot more than 100X, just in 2016 alone.

      How else would the Koch brothers get people to vote against their own best interests and end up with DT’s cabinet full of crony capitalist welfare queens who are all set to gorge at the public trough big time?

      The Kochs can’t tell the truth and get votes for the candidates they fund for the GOP Congress. As far as the presidential race, they vowed to defeat Hillary, but ended up not having to spend their money because DT was given billions of dollars of free media coverage for free

      But I expect the Kochs are glad to see crony capitalists like themselves in DT’s cabinet. And I expect they are eagerly looking forward to Pence’s reign where they will get 100% of what they want.

      Of course Fly believes this crap.

      That’s how humans are. Propaganda works on them. Say it 1000X and it seems more familiar and true than the sun coming up each morning, which only happens 365 times per year.

    The left has awoken – this blip will be over in 4 years or less. We got complacent and now just the opposite is happening – the marches this weekend are just the beginning. The future of our economy is innovation and technology – the bread and butter of the leftist elite. The future is ours and we will take it back in way that will leave your simpleton heads spinning.

        The gays are everywhere, we just believe in letting everyone be themselves instead of trying to convert them (doesn’t work and stupid idea) or forcing them to hide it (then they commit suicide). It’s really that simple – and in my highly educated state no one really cares or gets “grossed out”. Actually gay dudes are usually the ones the women drool over and wish were straight!

          Being gay doesn’t seem natural in places where gay people are discriminated against, becuase they have to hide that they are gay. So people in those environments think gay people are really really rare and odd.

          But if you live in a tolerant place, you find out how many of your friends, acquaintances, associates and neighbors are gay, and you realize that they are as normal as anyone else. And some of them have some of the same hobbies and interests as you. And some are interesting fun people. And some not. Just like anyone else. And maybe you decide that it’s everyone’s own right to live their lives in their own way, as long as they don’t hurt anyone.

          Of course it is wrong, and horrible, and is against the law, to rape children.

          But most gay people are like most straight people, in that they only have consensual sex and only with adults.

          In places where gay people are treated fairly, and are not discriminated against, child rape is not any more common than in places where gay people are treated as less than other people. However, it may be hard to get accurate statistics, because countries that are brutal and allow a lot of abuse of people, probably do not accurately report the total number of child rapes.

          It’s better if people are not ashamed– not ashamed to report rape, not ashamed to be openly gay– not ashamed to be or do other things that are natural for them and do not hurt anyone.

          Giving gay people equal rights is only fair.

            When I was 14, a long time ago, I was trying to kiss Mary or Kathy or any other pretty girl in the neighborhood. I had no interest in anything other than motorcycles and girls. Now Larry, who was 17 and a senior in high school (and a Jew – that fits in, wait for it) seemed to have a liking for little boys. One day, while riding my mini bike in the woods, I chanced upon Larry who happened to be out and about, maybe stalking maybe just smoking weed. Anyhow, long story short, he wrestled me to the ground and tried to rape me. Luckily, or unluckily, I managed to grab a rock and hit him in the temple, permanently lowering his IQ by 50 points. To this day I am sure he still drools on himself. Well, for that little episode, I spent time in juvie and Larry’s parents successfully sued my parents. I never will forgive myself for not killing him instead. So I have a problem with sexual perverts, and it just seems to me most of them are gay men.

          Eric, that’s awful what happened to you, and it should not happen to anyone. I hope you have been able to find emotional release methods, or whatever you need to release the stress and pain of such an experience. And what a long drawn out stressful situation– with going to juvie and going through a lawsuit.

          However, knowing that people do experience such things does not change my mind about gay rights. Here is why. Most people who rape women or little girls would likely be classified as heterosexual, if you wanted to classify them by sexual orientation.

          However, sexual orientation is not the important factor here. This is a violent coercive act, e.g. like shooting or knifing someone, regardless of whether it is done to someone of the same gender or a different gender.

          Sexual assault is more about physically attacking someone who has done nothing to provoke you, than it is like normal consensual sex.

          That is why such forms of violence should be and are illegal. And that is why consensual sex should not be illegal, nor should it be the concern of the law.

          Pedophiles are sickos that will go after any children, boys or girls. That doesn’t make gay people pedophiles you idiot, think about it. The attributes that attract the sexes comes about in puberty; being attracted to children isn’t about gay/straight sexuality.

          Sorry about your experience with a pedophile.

    The problem with the press is that it is full of careerists who know what the boss wants them to repeat. They feed conspiracy theories and theorists because they do not dig and question.

    – Maybe Russia is a bad actor in Ukraine, but they feed conspiracy theorists because they do not acknowledge our State Dept’s meddling and other actions we took that are threatening to Russia

    – Maybe Russia is a bad actor in Syria, but they feed conspiracy theorists because they do not acknowledge the Sunni crazies that we unleashed out of Iraq

    – Maybe 9/11 is just as reported, but they feed conspiracy theorists because they do not report on building 7, etc

    – Maybe Pizzagate is bs, but they feed conspiracy theorists because they do not report on questions about those odd emails

    -etc.

    Ironically, reporting like that done by Swann is EXactly what is needed to kill conspiracy theories.

          Have you ever considered being politically active and working toward what you would like to see in government, rather than bashing people you disagree with?

          We’ll see in a year or so if you still think Hillary would have been a much bigger threat to your wealth, health, and liberty. Or that she would have been more likely to get us in wars.

          HRC is very responsive to the public, and would likely respond to demonstrations against war. In fact, HRC is so responsive to the public, that she has been criticized for changing her opinions when the public has been clear that they wanted something different, e.g. on trade agreements.

          DT doesn’t respond. Now that he has won the presidency, at least. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself. Most Americans want him to release his tax returns, but he doesn’t care at all.

          Frog, I have been politically active. I’ve donated lots of money to libertarian causes over the years as well as traveling the country in 2008 to support Ron Paul’s campaign. I was an elected delegate in my county who’s sole purpose was to overthrow the republican establishment. We failed by 7 votes.

    I can see how people who believe DT is qualified to be president, can also believe in
    evidence-free conspiracy theories about some child trafficking ring in a pizza parlor. And in every other conspiracy theory Alex Jones or someone like him makes up each day while sitting on the toilet.

    It’s just like watching Netflix. People’s appetites for fictional stories are limitless. And it’s a very low cost operation. Anyone can make up an evidence-free conspiracy theory in very little time, no materials needed.

        For someone who regularly consumes fake news media run by people whose meaning of life is to tell lies about Dems, it must seem that way.

        HRC is the most qualified candidate we have ever had run for president. But of course if you watch/read/listen to fake news, and believe evidence-free conspiracy theories, I can understand how you wouldn’t know that.

        HRC was even bashed 24/7/365 in the NYT, as there are a number of Right Wing columnists there too. But it was totally unjustified.

        There is a book about HRC’s real record, the truth about her.

        Probably no one here will ever read it, because most people here are allergic to the truth, and prefer evidence-free conspiracy theories. It was written by a guy who spent his early years as a political operative attacking Hillary and Bill, and then found out that he was being lied to by the Right Wing media folks he worked for.

        Just in case someone happens by ibankcoin, who is not totally allergic to the truth, here it is.

        I don’t watch CNN so I don’t know about them. But my guess is that they deserve more credibility than Alex Jones– which would not be saying much for them. Because Jones deserves negative credibility. If he says something, you can be pretty sure it’s false.

    These Right Wing conspiracy theories hurt a lot of people– many of them not political people at all. I have read that the Comet pizza place owner has gotten death threats. ANd of course there was the guy who went over there with his gun and shot it around, because he wanted to “investigate” the story.

    How would you like that– if Breitbart or Alex Jones made up some evidence-free conspiracy theory about your own place of business and then some guy came over there shooting his gun, and you got death threats from people who actually believed you were running a child trafficking ring just because they read it on the Internet or heard it on the radio? This stuff is insane.

    This is the same network that told people it was illegal for them to look at wiki releases of the HRC and podesta emails. These assholes actually said that they were special and it was legal for them though, so they would be kind enough to sift through it for us. The same network that gave Hilldog debate questions beforehand, the same network that worked hard with the dnc to assure her nomination. Give me a break.

    When you say things like “HRC was even bashed 24/7/365 in the NYT, as there are a number of Right Wing columnists there too. But it was totally unjustified.” you sound completely clueless. In comparison, NYT bashed Trump harder by many orders of magnitude. Even my commie friends see this clear as day. With the exception of Fox news, almost the entirety of American mainstream propaganda worked very diligently to get her in the White house. Turns out middle America is tired of being told they are terrible racist, misogynists bigots every time they turn on their TV’s.
