Hashtag Chicken-Lover(s)

Dear Snopes,

Is it true that the term “chicken lover” in the world of gay slang is primarily a term used to denote a paedophile: i.e. “one with a sexual attraction, and need for young boys, under the age of consent”?

Oh, and Snopes: is it also true that this term “chicken-lover(s)” is used as a hashtag on several occasions on the Instagram account of James Alefantis, aka ‘Jimmy Comet’, owner of Comet Ping Pong? Is it further true that other dubious terms, such as “hotard” – which have a reasonable probability of relating to paedophilia and the abuse of children in light of their juxtaposition with the accompanying images of young children – are habitually exchanged by ‘Jimmy Comet’ and his circle of like-minded Instagram friends?

 Dear Snopes, does that fact not strike you being just a little bit fucking creepy? Perhaps at the very least providing good grounds for further investigation of ‘Jimmy Comet’ and his clique? You know, given that he claims to run a “family friendly” pizzeria and ping pong establishment?

Terasol

Dear Snopes,

Is it true that another restaurant in close proximity to Comet Pizza and Besta Pizza, a French bistro called Terasol, had a symbol that bears a striking resemblance to this appended symbol allegedly used (via a leaked FBI document) by paedophiles to covertly communicate with each other? Is it also true that since the pizzagate “fake news” story went viral, Terasol has removed this symbol from its website, along with the previously proudly displayed image of Hillary Clinton during a visit to the bistro? Furthermore, is it true that the big/little symbology – e.g. big heart, little heart, big hand, little hand – is central to the emblems used by paedophiles to communicate their activity?

 

Biljana Djurdjevic

Dear Snopes,

Is it true that one of Tony Podesta’s favourite artists is Serbian-born Biljana Djurdjevic? And is it reasonable to assert that her work depicts disturbing images of children who look like traumatised captives and victims of abuse? Is it true that she herself states that her “works reflect her development as an artist during the horror-stricken 1990s – when violence in her country peaked following the collapse of the communist regime in Eastern Europe.“?

Tony Podesta and Dennis Hastert

Dear Snopes,

Is it true that amongst the leaked John Podesta email trove published by Wikileaks in 2016, is a missive from his brother Tony Podesta to the Ambassador for Global Environmental Affairs of Japan (cc’d to John Podesta), which stated that Tony Podesta has remained in close contact with former House Speaker, Dennis “Denny” Hastert, who was sentenced in 2016 to 15 months in jail for for illegally structuring bank transactions in an effort to cover up his sexual abuse of young members of a wrestling team he coached decades ago?

Is it true that in spite of his admission of guilt, “Hastert was not charged with sex crimes because the statute of limitations had passed, giving him a sort of immunity“? Is it also true that the Judge, Thomas M. Durkin, who presided over the case, summed up by saying “Some actions can obliterate a lifetime of good works. Nothing is more stunning than having ‘serial child molester’ and ‘speaker of the House’ in the same sentence.”?

The Cult of Antinous

Dear Snopes,

Is it true that Comet Ping Pong’s owner, James Alefantis, who is ranked by GQ magazine as one of the most important people in Washington DC  (a remarkable achievement for a pizza joint owner) and who was at the heart of the “fake news” pizzagate scandal, uses an image of a statue of Antinous, the deified boy lover of Emperor Hadrian, as his Instagram profile icon (avatar)?

Is it also reasonable to suggest that sculptural depictions of Antinous “remain without doubt one of the most elevated and ideal monuments to pederastic love [i.e. sexual relations between a man and a young boy] of the whole ancient world”, (as is suggested by scholar Royston Lambert in his book, Beloved and God: The Story of Hadrian and Antinous)?

Comet Shooter

Dear Snopes,

Is it true that Edgar Maddison Welch, who entered Comet Ping Pong with a firearm, allegedly because he had become upset after believing the “alt-right” pizzagate “fake news” story and wanted to “self-investigate”, is the son of Harry Welch Jr.? Is it true that Harry Welch Jr. was the Executive Director for Protect-A-Child, a non-profit organisation established to prevent the abuse and abduction of children? Is it true that Protect-A-Child had links to Haiti?

Besta Pizza

Dear Snopes,

Is it true that Besta Pizza‘s logo bore a striking resemblance to one of the symbols cited in the previously referenced FBI intelligence bulletin document? And is it also true that Besta Pizza amended its logo as a result of the pizzagate “fake news” story? Furthermore, is there a Besta Pizza outlet next to Comet Ping Pong, the restaurant at the centre of the pizzagate “fake news” story? Is it true that Andrew Kline is the registered agent for Besta Pizza (via Uptown Pizza, Inc)? Has Andrew Kline worked as an attorney in the Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit of the DoJ? And was Andrew Kline appointed to this position by Bill Clinton? And would it be reasonable to assume that Andrew Kline, given his role at the DoJ, would have been familiar with the covert symbols used by criminals involved in paedophilia and child trafficking?

FBI Intelligence Bulletin

Dear Snopes,

You have covered associated rumours and misinformation before  and more recently “debunked” the pizzagate “fake news” story, so this is perhaps an easy one to begin with. But for the sake of specificity and clarification: is the below-referenced, reportedly leaked FBI Intelligence Bulletin (Cyber Division, Innocent Images National Initiative) – published and verified by Wikileaks in 2007,  and allegedly revealing the secret symbols that organised paedophiles covertly use to recognise each other, and sourced via “child erotica” networks in Spain – a genuine document?
