The New York Times is out today with an op-ed by Alexandra Zapruder (granddaughter of that Zapruder), who took it upon herself to vehemently argue that #Pizzagate is nothing more than a dangerous alt-right conspiracy theory promoted by “online terrorists.” This is the NYT’s second article defending Comet Ping Pong in three weeks. It’s also full of inaccuracies and completely fails to address the subject matter. Let’s quickly dissect:
Right off the bat is the attempt to link “right-wing fake news” and “conspiracy websites” to the completely incorrect statement about Hillary Clinton’s role as “mastermind” of a child sex-slavery ring. Nobody has ever said this, and in fact Zapruder’s rhetoric is a psychological trick called “reductio ad absurdum” (reducing to absurdity) to convince the reader that the story is so insane it couldn’t possibly be true. You may have noticed other MSM outlets pushing the “Hillary Mastermind” theme in their reporting. Next:
Yes folks, if you question any of this you’re aligning with TERRORISTS!
Sure, association and innuendo and cherry-picked details. In case you didn’t catch that, the owner of Comet Ping Pong – James Alefantis (whose Instagram icon is Antinous, 13yr old lover of Emperor Hadrian, symbol of pederasty) has been to the White House and Tony Podesta’s house. A George Soros SuperPac even used Comet Ping Pong, of all the Pizza restaurants in DC, for $11,600 of catering. Clearly this isn’t just a case of a random pizza restaurant owner who somehow stumbled upon Washington Elite – as evidenced by Alefantis standing 20 feet away from President Obama as he took this picture (oh, and visitor logs). Alefantis is also tied to #spiritcook and Podesta Pal Marina Abramovic. Oh, and Alefantis – a pizza shop owner – was one of GQ’s 50 most powerful people in Washington. WTF? Maybe it’s because Alefantis was White House insider and Media Matters / Correct The Record founder David Brock’s LOVER.
Let me repeat: White House insider David Brock and Comet Ping Pong owner James Alefantis were lovers.
Moving on: 
The rest of the article is more of the same. You get the picture, and can read the whole thing here if so inclined.
Two thoughts immediately come to mind; first – Zapruder’s article goes over exactly zero of the evidence in question – of which there is plenty. The entire argument is an emotional tirade designed to shame any who dare question the strange and worrisome evidence. Second, why is the NY Times (among others) focusing so much energy on defending Comet Ping Pong?
We DO know that NY Times CEO Mark Thompson covered up the UK’s Jimmy Savile case for The Guardian before joining the NY Times. In case you’re not up to speed on Savile, he was a high profile UK children’s television host and massive pedophile who was good friends with Prince Charles and disgraced pedophile bishop Peter Ball. Savile threw countless parties for high ranking members of the UK establishment steeped in rumors of pedophilia. Most of this was uncovered after Savile’s 2011 death, after years of Mark Thompson’s diligent work to protect this pedophile.
To review, we have a very suspicious body of evidence surrounding Comet Ping Pong, owned by David Brock’s former lover James Alefantis – whose Instagram icon is a famous pedophile. There is a mountain of evidence suggesting Alefantis is a pedophile himself, which include pictures, associations, and comments Alefantis has made online. This is all in the public record now. Instead of addressing the evidence and disproving it, the NY Times – headed by the guy who covered up the Jimmy Savile UK pedophile ring – has chosen to publish TWO articles in three weeks defending Comet Ping Pong – casting any suspicion as right-wing FAKE NEWS and conspiracy theory.
If there’s one way the MSM could possibly, single handedly, without doubt – add fuel to the fire that is #pizzagate – emotional opinion pieces like Zapruder’s are the blueprint. Attempts to frame curious people as terrorist sympathizers, instead of addressing the subject matter, are completely transparent and will blow up in their faces. This isn’t the JFK investigation. This is a massive crowdsourced effort to get to the bottom of what appears to be a high level Pedo ring operating in Washington DC, and it’s not going away anytime soon.

Doubling down on this does you no credit.
Cuckpots seem to have a hard-on for this pedophilia conspiracy fantasy. Paranoia runs deep in your crowd. Anyone who questions this absurdity is part of a concerted effort to discredit cuckpots. Nobody has conviction except believers. So fuckin funny. Maybe it’s time to focus the critical eye on the man who will be running our country rather than washed-up politicians. But that requires honesty and objectivity so that won’t happen here.
Thanks for the feedback gents. Don’t ever open a babysitting agency. I fear your screening would leave much to be desired.
Q: Do you have any hobbies you’d like to share?
A: My brother and I collect pedo and cannibal art, love to hang out with known pedos, and have operated at the highest levels of government for a few decades.
Q: Why do you want this job?
A: I just love children.
You’re hired!
Not sure if trying to be oinfohedgewars or the onion.
I like how all of your detractors resort to name calling instead of actually discussing any of the evidence. They’ve been trained well by the NYT it seems.
To recap the detractors:
(longview) Posting the evidence and discrediting an emotional based article means that zeropoint is now discredited…
(traderconfessions) Zeropoint is a paranoid cuckpot (whatever that is) and should be focused on something else (typical liberal arrogance, thinking they should direct your thoughts and focus). bonus: this whole site is dishonest for allowing zeropoint to post a fact based rebuttal of a NYT article.
(josh) zeropoint is a joke. Great argument Josh.
Did I miss anything?
Jemas — truth is that somehow I like Zero, even though mostly I don’t agree with him. I don’t think my comment amounted to name calling. I just believe that it’s time to let this one go. I’ll take his reply with good humor and cross babysitting agency off my list of potential career alternatives.
But I ask you, really, to consider what it takes to sustain a belief in such a bizarre. complicated, broad conspiracy like “pizzagate” based on such disconnected scraps of circumstantial, evidence, yet dismiss the judgment of multiple national security institutions that Putin/Russia might have in some way tried to influence the election. For fun, take what’s available in the press and build a case that they did. Is it easier of harder than to build a case that pizzagate is real?
Really, think about it. We are asked to seriously consider that Hillary Clinton is involved in a child trafficking ring, yet, for example, STFU about the possibility that Trump’s tax returns might reveal behaviors and conflicts that could meaningfully reflect on his ability to be the President.
Finally a lot of times the folks that advance these theories challenge their disbelievers to “prove that they are not true.” The burden of proof is on the person that is proposing. Can you prove to me that Russia did not hack the election? That Trump isn’t hiding something? That evolutionary theory isn’t correct, but the 7 day creation story is? That the moon is not made of green cheese?
Now clearly I am just a fully cucked, butt hurt libtard, but at least I strive to be fair, to actually read a thing before I react to it, and to stay away from ad hominem attacks.
Zero — sorry If I offended you. I didn’t intend to.
If you have the time you might try listening to this.

Sorry I meant to say that Zero apparently does not tie Clinton into pizzagate the way others do, but does that really make the whole thing that much less absurd?
Are you folks old enough to remember the McMartin case in the 80’s?

Longview, no hard feelings here and glad you have a sense of humor. I get how all of this looks.
At present, we have more actual evidence that Pizzagate is real than the Russians were behind the hack. The CIA is a professional agency that’s been playing psychological regime change games with populations for a long time. We are being asked to trust them, again, – just like Iraq’s WMDs. Until we can look at the evidence, I am skeptical. If the evidence is solid, verified, and unassailable, I will change my opinion.
Regarding Pizzagate – I have gone deep into it. I’d like to think I’m not a crazy person. There are no smoking guns, rather, a very suspicious pattern of connections, behavior, and data points.The efforts to cover it have been inaccurate and conclusive (“debunked conspiracy theory Pizzagate” when it hasn’t actually been debunked). This is irresponsible journalism intended to help YOU conclude it’s an open and shut case of tin foil.
What kind of people joke about selling babies? Or make #chickenlover comments (there’s really no ambiguity with that one), or call babies “hotards” (retarded whore) etc. Is that just absurd dark humor? There were a TON of pedo pictures / art on the Comet Ping pong instagram, and art on their walls. It has been a significant part of their “culture,” as it pertains to the way these people have consistently expressed themselves over social media and in private. So – James Alefantis, ex lover of David Brock, is either a raging pedo, or he’s accidentally coming off as one and this is all a big mistake. The instagram pictures of Comet Ping Pong parties are pretty dark by most standards.
The Podesta art is fucking weird. It should raise eyebrows – and in fact, there are emails between the Podesta brothers talking about freaking people out with it (as reinforced by that “Inside Homes” magazine article which mentioned the pedo art freaking people out). People collect what they’re into. It’s not just “Normal John Podesta and his weird brother Tony” either. They’re really close. I assume you’ve read my Podesta art post? http://ibankcoin.com/zeropointnow/2016/11/26/sick-lets-revisit-the-podesta-penchant-for-pedophilic-cannibalistic-and-satanic-art/ I think it’s relevant and appropriate to look into the private lives of people who lead us, and I’ve never come across anything quite like this whole phenomenon of openly practiced dark ritualistic performance art and (in the case of the Podestas / Alefantis) cannibalism / pedo-centric /art. That’s weird, right?
As for the satanic angle with Marina Abramovich specifically, I can go as far as to chalk some of it up to as morbid curiosity. Maybe the Podestas and Hillary were getting a thrill out of the #spiritcooking dinners as a sort of live theater. It doesn’t mean they’re baby eating satanists – but they did associate with Abramovich (personally, frequently, financially) for at least a period of time – and she’s very dark.
I also don’t mention the napkin thing much or at all – as I reject that as weak evidence. Lots of people draw shit on napkins.
The Wikipedia picture of the suspects that look like the Podestas didn’t really do it for me either. The story is outrageous and it wouldn’t be easy to prove anything. It’s just going to be one of those “so that’s probably true” things if the Podestas turn out to be huge pedos after all.
The code words in the emails are strange. Fly and I talked a lot about this, and tried to come up with rational explanations (drugs? clandestine operations? etc.) but I mean, there are just way too many strange pizza / food related things mentioned that make no sense whatsoever. Some of the emails also have attachments with really strange content.
The Jimmy Savile thing was real and well documented, so it’s not like it’s outside the realm of possibility that there’s a contingency of rich powerful people, including world leaders, who like to fuck kids. There have been reports over the years of pedo shit going down at Bohemian grove – which Richard Nixon called “the most faggoty god damned thing you could ever imagine.” Dennis Hastert was a huge pedo that John Podesta maintained a relationship with and even joked about helping him leave the country (ala Roman Polanski).
My take: A lot of people don’t have the time or the autism to go as deeply into Pizzagate as others. Life is busy. Also, people want closure on things – especially when they are uncomfortable or absurd topics. So for most people not sifting through every clump of sand, there is a level of trust involved with whatever sources of information are used to form conclusions. The mainstream has called this bullshit, and alternative media claims there is merit to Pizzagate. People are conditioned to trust the news, from the days when news was news and they weren’t trying to play mind games. While not all of what’s out there on Pizzagate is true – there’s enough to warrant serious inquiry when you take a big step back and look at everything.
At minimum, I wouldn’t put “MYTH BUSTED” on this one – at all. While similar in topic, the evidence McMartin case was really very different than what we have here.
I will give that pizzagate thing a listen a little later, but for now – the above is where I stand. Unless there’s some new development of significance, this will probably be my last post for a while on the topic.
Zero, point on! I agree.
Thanks for your work and effort on the subject. Agree with you on everything. Where there is smoke there is fire. Smells like a big, walks like a pig and sounds like a pig.. hummm I wonder what it is?
Either way looking for truth to come out one day.
Anyone looking for evidence only needs to read this:
