Pizzerias in Austin and New York Are Now Also Being Accused of Abetting Satanic Pedophilia

by Ben Mathis-Lilley at Salon

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/12/07/pizzagate_accusations_spread_to_austin_new_york.html

"SNIP.............

In Austin, Texas, according to the Austin American-Statesman, the East Side Pies mini-chain has been the subject of online and phone harassment (and one incident of IRL vandalism) by individuals who have "interpreted the restaurant’s logo as a symbol of the 'illuminati,' questioned the meaning of photos of pizza-eating children on East Side Pies’ Facebook account, inferred that a picture of staffers with former Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell was proof of nefarious political ties and claimed co-owner Michael Freid, an alumnus of the Culinary Institute of America, had 'connections to the CIA.' "

DNAInfo writes that an employee of the Brooklyn pizza restaurant Roberta's received a telephoned death threat after it was identified as a hub of satanic activity in a YouTube video posted by an individual who made similar claims about a restaurant in Amherst, New York, which is near Buffalo.


................

Here's a strange fact from the Washington Post's comprehensive and disturbing report about the Comet pizza affair, which culminated on Sunday when a man from North Carolina entered the restaurant and fired at least one shot from a rifle:

An oddly disproportionate share of the tweets about Pizzagate appear to have come from, of all places, the Czech Republic, Cyprus and Vietnam, said Jonathan Albright, an assistant professor of media analytics at Elon University in North Carolina. In some cases, the most avid retweeters appeared to be bots, programs designed to amplify certain news and information.

where anyone or anything can be villified. It's just like the myths about Jews that spread just before the Nazis killed them. I'm waiting for the first "Mosque-gate," "Transgender-gate," or "Minority-gate," where the goons are given their marching orders to cleanse society for the white male.

Ever wondered how the Nazis started? This is it. It can happen again.

that are of Czech heritage. I'll have to get in contact with them to see if they are responsible.

On that note, if anyone going to Austin needs a Segway tour guide who yodels and wears lederhosen I can provide a referral.

Just asking. How else would he come up with this bizarre pack of lies about Hillary and John Podesta unless he's guilty himself of such heinous criminal activity? Can you say "projection"?

Not a lot. Maybe three or four times a year. It's great pizza. They do have anti-religious symbolism. And upside down cross held by death with a sickle. The Cheesus Christ pizza. They're anti-establishment. (Saying that knowing that they just got a huge cash injunction from a very established funder of restaurants in NYC.)

I'm a practicing Catholic, and I just roll my eyes at it and enjoy the pizza.

It's just the way they are.

I've never seen hint of child sex rings happening there. ::Eyeroll::

People are oddly.... very stupid.

At the current rate things are going I could almost see "The Purge" becoming reality in a decade or two. Truth/science/fact denial seem to be at all-time highs. If you wanna beat somebody in politics all you gotta do is keep throwing mud at the wall until some sticks. Call them a pedophile or say they're a member of a satanic cult and you'll probably get >20% of the public believing you.

What pizza parlors have Trump and Hastert been known to frequent?

They have both been exposed as sexual perverts around children.

Has Trump eaten pizza in his own businesses?

The crazies would believe in such associations, wouldn't they.
