1. Introduction: Pizzagate is Real

     Pizzagate is real, and always was.

     Almost everything that the majority of the American public has heard about Pizzagate is false. For example, how many people out there have heard the following facts?

     For one, there was no “Pizzagate massacre”. There was a Pizzagate shooting, but there was no massacre. A movie director named John Valley put out a film called “The Pizzagate Massacre” in 2020, but nobody died in the Pizzagate shooting incident.

     The Pizzagate shooter - Edgar Maddison Welch - did bring a gun into Comet Ping Pong Pizza, and he did cross state lines from North Carolina into the District of Columbia in order to do it. But he did not shoot at any person nor living thing, and he probably never even aimed at anybody. He never intended to kill anyone, and he never did.

     Welch fired at a computer tower, not a person. He only destroyed – or intended to destroy – inanimate property, not any living human being.

     Welch fired bullets at that computer tower because he believed that it contained child sexual abuse material (a/k/a “child pornography”), and that Alefantis may have been using the computer to sell photos of children being abused, or maybe even to sell the children themselves. Researchers believe that Alefantis was using the encrypted section of his website to sell child abuse images – and possibly even opportunities to rape children – in exchange for U.S. Dollars and for Bitcoin.

     Researchers saved screenshots of text lines from a website; these images were composed mostly of green and white fields, with black text on them. Researchers say these images were from portions of the encrypted section of the Comet Ping Pong Pizza website which were being used to display information about the children. The text in the images was very small, however, and unclear.

     A man who went by “BigFish” on Twitter may have been the person who hacked the encrypted section of the website. BigFish claimed that he hacked into the website, and found child pornography; and then called the police to report what he had found. BigFish told a YouTube-based Pizzagate researcher named Dean Fougere (also known as Plato Smith and Titus Frost) that he could name five D.C. police officers. whom he either spoke to, or were assigned to the case. Their names were Marcus Stevens, Jeremiah Johnson, Chanel Dickerson, Daniel H. Godin, and Peter Newsham.

     Peter Newsham – an officer assigned to investigate James Alefantis for sex crimes against children – later became the Chief of Police of D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department. And the woman who sentenced the Pizzagate shooter – Edgar Maddison Welch, Jr., who shot nobody – to prison, was Ketanji Brown Jackson. Jackson later became an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Welch recently died in prison, unable to tell his side of the story.

     This aftermath of the dismissal of Pizzagate theories as "conspiracy theories", alone, should prompt a thorough investigation. But they will always say that more proof needs to be shown. Therefore, what follows, is my attempt to provide that proof.

2. How Are James Alefantis and Hillary Clinton Connected?

     Since BigFish found that Comet’s website connected to nine servers around the world – one of which was in Germany – he suspects that the D.C. police may have passed the investigation off to federal or even international authorities.

     Curiously, Alefantis co-owns a ping-pong-themed restaurant in Germany, which is called Dr. Pong's; the other owner is a man named Oliver Miller. The restaurant does not only sell food; it also sells “table tennis equipment” as the most expensive item that it has available. The price of the “equipment” has prompted some researchers to become concerned that “table tennis equipment” to be a reference to a human being; that is, to a person who is being penetrating in the mouth and the vagina at the same time.

     Hillary Clinton was not directly involved in Pizzagate; she did not traffic children in a basement, and no serious person who looked into the Pizzagate theories believed that she was. James Alefantis – the owner of pizza restaurant Comet Ping Pong, in Washington, D.C. – was the person suspected of trafficking kids in a basement.

     The whole idea behind the notion that Pizzagate is false, relies on the claim that Comet Ping Pong Pizza restaurant owner James Alefantis didn't have a basement, from which to traffic children. But he did. In an interview with Fox News from 2016 or 2017, James Alefantis told Megyn Kelly that his restaurant didn't have a basement. But he admitted, in a magazine interview, that he did have a basement, and used it to store tomatoes for his pizza sauce. That interview – published under the title “From Scratch: James Alefantis” – was published by MetroWeekly on April 16^th, 2015, and was was written by the interviewer, Doug Rule.

     Alefantis told Rule, “…we harvest a whole crop of organic tomatoes - 10 tons of tomatoes every year. Can them all, store them in the basement, have like a harvest party when it gets loaded in.” [copied verbatim from the original article].

     But the basement of Comet Ping Pong Pizza isn’t even James Alefantis’s only basement. Pizzagate researchers additionally discovered that Alefantis owned eleven other properties in D.C., at least one of which had a basement. They found numerous photographs of Alefantis and a small construction crew doing work on the basement of a property located elsewhere in the District.

     Researchers found out that half of Alefantis’s properties (six out of twelve) were located just above, or near, the tunnel systems under D.C.. The existence of such tunnel systems are admitted. There is video of congressmen boarding a train that goes through the basement of the Capitol. It's there to provide security to congressmen.

     The reason why Hillary Clinton got caught up in Pizzagate, was that Hillary Clinton was possibly friends with James Alefantis. Hillary Clinton has been known to associate with Lynn Forester de Rothschild. Some researchers suspect that James Alefantis is really a Rothschild, and is using a false name.

     James Alefantis – who uses the nickname “Jimmy Comet” – claims that he is Greek. But people who believe he’s using a false name, note that “j’aime les enfants” is French for “I love children”, and also that Pierre Charles l’Enfant designed the street and tunnel infrastructure of Washington, D.C.. It’s possible that “Alefantis” named himself after one or both of these phrases. Alefantis also made a post, to his “JimmyComet” Instagram account, about Antinous, a lover of Emperor Hadrian. It’s possible that Hadrian and/or Antinous were pedophiles, and that Alefantis may have posted the photo of the statue of Antinous as a conscious nod to homosexual pedophilia (called “pederasty” in the context of Ancient Greece). There are also rumors that Alefantis employed sixteen-year-old boys in his restaurant, and had sex with them.

     The age of consent in Washington, D.C. – where Comet Ping Pong is located - is sixteen years old. However, that does not mean, conclusively, that Alefantis is not a pedophile. He also posted a photo of himself standing behind a girl, who looked about five or six years old, with her hands taped to a table. Researchers archived evidence of Alefantis’s creepy posts – and other creepy posts by people who followed him on social media – on websites like Reddit, 4chan, Steemit, and Voat.

     Researchers examining Wikileaks emails dumps from between 2007 and 2015 discovered that Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager John Podesta had been emailing Serbian artist Marina Abramovic. They also discovered an email from Hillary Clinton, referring to her “sacrificing chickens” in her backyard “to Moloch”. Some claim that the email is not real, and some defend Clinton by saying that she was probably just joking about how her detractors perceive her.

     That’s why it’s possible that Hillary Clinton doesn’t have as much to do with Pizzagate as the theory’s doubters think; and doesn’t have as much to do with Pizzagate as John Podesta and James Alefantis do. But, on the other hand, it’s not as though James Alefantis’s “possible” connection to the Clintons, is really that dubious. It’s possible that James Alefantis knows the Clintons; possibly through either the Rothschilds, and/or through David Brock.

     Alefantis’s restaurant, Comet Ping Pong, is located near Poetry and Prose, a book store where politicians and pundits come to make speeches and hold political events. Alefantis, having been named the forty-ninth, out of fifty, most powerful people in the District of Columbia. He was given this title in the January 17^th, 2012 issue of G.Q. (the men’s magazine). [Source: https://www.gq.com/gallery/50-most-powerful-people-in-washington-dc]

     Alefantis’s prominence in the D.C. community means that he probably would have been acquainted with Poetry and Prose, and people who spoke there (such as Hillary Clinton). And, since Clinton employed John Podesta as her campaign manager, it’s possible that Alefantis knew Podesta. And – to repeat – researchers have discovered an email between John Podesta and Marina Abramovic. So if Alefantis knows Abramovic, it’s possible that he met them through Podesta and/or Hillary Clinton.

     Additionally, James Alefantis used to date David Brock, the political consultant author who founded the Democratic think tank Media Matters (full name “media Matters for America”). Brock wrote the 1996 book The Seduction of Hillary Clinton, initially in an attempt to expose Hillary’s corruption, but the book ended up having a “mixed ideological viewpoint”. This probably means that Brock capitulated to Hillary, and decided to “join them” rather than “beat them”. Brock’s positive view of – and close ties to – Hillary Clinton, means that Alefantis could know Clinton through his ex-boyfriend David Brock (if not through the Rothschilds).

     Researchers suspect David Brock of paying his other ex-boyfriend, William Grey, hush money, after they broke up on bad terms. [Source: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/media-matters-boss-paid-former-partner-850g-blackmail-settlement]

3. How Are James Alefantis and Marina Abramovic Connected?

     James Alefantis is not even the only suspected pedophile who was present at Comet Ping Pong restaurant. The restaurant featured shows from bands with names like the Coat Hangers (a reference to abortion), Thee Lolitas (a reference to the pedophilic book and films by Vladimir Nabokov), and the Sex Stains. Some of these shows were in the middle of the day, while others were late at night. At least one of these shows was advertised as “all-ages”. The band “Sex Stains” produced a music video featuring allusions to pizza and Rohypnol (“roofies”, the “date-rape drug”).

     Alefantis not only allowed bands like that to play in his restaurant – for families, mind you – he also featured art, in his restaurant, which depicted headless people. An artist named Arrington de Dionyso painted murals that were once on display at Comet. De Dionyso's murals depict headless people, but the paintings are not graphic, nor do they depict sex, nor children; however, de Dionyso's work is certainly among the least disturbing among the art tastes of Alefantis and the Podestas.

     That's why it is unfortunate that it was de Dionyso's art which was the one that Pizzagate researchers looked into first, rather than the works of Maria Marshall, Patricia Piccinini, Julie Roberts, Katy Grannan, Louise Borgeois, and Biljana Djurdjevic. That's because those artists’ paintings and photographs often depict either children in their underwear, Satanic or occult images, or other disturbing images, and each of them is admired by one or both of the Podestas. None of that, apparently, can be said about Dionyso's work.

     Tony Podesta’s art collection also includes a naked golden person contorting so as to be shaped like a bridge, belly-up, with its hands and feet on the floor; researchers have noted that serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer liked to pose his victims in that position. Debbie Harry (singer for rock group Blondie) – a friend of Marina Abramovic – has also posed in that position. Debbie Harry was photographed, at the New York Museum of Modern Art, cutting a cake-shaped human being, with Abramovic next to her. Guests there – including Lady Gaga and Will Ferrell – were served “naked cake people” (in pool of fake blood) in an “artistic” meal which possibly alluded to human sacrifice.

     James Alefantis’s association with artists who create disturbing material, is the reason why we should ask whether Alefantis knows artist Marina Abramovic directly; however, that is still unclear. But researchers note it as a possibility, due to Podesta’s ties to Abramovic, and Clinton’s possible ties to Alefantis (through David Brock and/or the Rothschilds).

     Artist Marina Abramovic is suspected, by Pizzagate researchers, of Satanism, cannibalism, and pedophilia. That’s because she has been photographed with a naked baby boy who is not her own son, and also because she paints using her own blood and other bodily fluids. Researchers suspect that she taught John Podesta some of these techniques, because photos were found of the words “cut into the finger of your left hand” and “drink the pain” written in blood on a wall, in a filmed art exhibit, probably by Abramovic. Additionally, because Podesta was photographed with a bandage on a finger on his left hand, with a fish and the number 14 drawn on the palm of each hand in marker (which may refer to an Egyptian creation myth, or something in occultism). Abramovic has admitted, in interviews, that she does ceremonial magic for both artistic and spiritual purposes, and she claims that she considers them separate.

     Connection to a possibly Satanic and pedophilic artist (Marina Abramovic) is not the only suspicious thing about John Podesta. Researchers suspect him of being a pedophile, cannibal, and/or a Satanist, himself, as well.

4. Are James Alefantis and John Podesta Cannibals?

     John Podesta also has protruding canine teeth, which make him look like a vampire with fangs. Yet that is not the only thing that causes people to think he drinks blood, or eats human beings, or worships Satan or the Devil.

     Podesta is also a trained cook; he cooks Italian food, including pasta. His emails, regarding making pasta with “walnut sauce” caused researchers to suspect that he was actually talking about raping girls, because closed vulvas kind of look like walnuts. He learned to cook, in part, because his mother Mary was known for hosting lavish dinners to entertain politicians. It’s possible that Podesta may be using code words (like “walnut”) to secretly communicate about either raping children, eating human beings, or maybe even both at the same time (i.e., raping, then killing a child, and then cooking and eating the child). That’s why some people believe that John Podesta cooks and eats people.

     Researchers suspect that "walnut sauce" is some kind of code phrase, because criminal real estate and mortgage mogul Herb Sandler was found to have emailed Podesta asking if Podesta found a handkerchief that he left. Sandler said that there was a "map" on the handkerchief, and that it was black and white. Researchers believe that "map" refers to a semen stain, and that the color black signals interest in sadomasochistic sex. Information about "pedophile code symbols" was gleaned from the F.B.I.'s guide to pedophile code symbols, UrbanDictionary.com, and users of 4chan and Reddit (and other sites) who informed researchers about common slang regarding sexual fetishes and homosexual sex acts.

     Additionally, Alefantis and Podesta have pig farming in common; Alefantis’s friends Kent Ozkum and Will Morrow own Whitmore pig farm, and James has visited. A man calling himself Matthew Yglesias, who claims to be John Podesta’s former employee, wrote that Podesta has experience killing pigs, in a July 2009 article entitled "Killer of Pigs" on InternetFoodAssociation.WordPress.com.

     Researchers whom have noted that serial killer Robert Pickton disposed of his victims by feeding them to pigs, believe that Pickton’s crimes may have inspired and informed John Podesta (and possibly also Alefantis). Researchers sometimes cite Wizard of Oz to explain the danger that pigs pose; the reason why Dorothy’s friends rush to save her when she falls into the pig pen, is because the pigs would have begun to try to eat her immediately, otherwise.

     Researchers have also documented Instagram posts by Alefantis which show large industrial refrigerators, the purpose of which are unclear.

     But even if the allegations of cannibalism are just bunk, suspicions that he’s a pedophile are not just founded on nonsense. John Podesta may have abused actual children.

5. Are James Alefantis and John Podesta Pedophiles?

     There are numerous suspicious things to note about John Podesta’s family. For one, his mother Mary Kokoris-Podesta adopted twenty-five children, in addition to John and Tony; this was published in Kokoris-Podesta’s obituary in the Chicago Sun-Times. John’s brother Tony is linked to child-molesting former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert; they were photographed together in Camp Nose, in Japan. It’s possible that the photo was taken while they were in the military together, and it was likely taken in the 1960s.

     John and Tony Podesta’s adopted siblings include Heather Podesta (who produces film and television shows), and Brian Podesta (who works at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, a non-governmental agency). Brian is one of John’s adopted siblings, in addition to Alex Podesta, an artist who dressed in a white bunny costume. The white rabbit costume is a possible allusion to fertility, and/or to Playboy Bunnies, and/or to the white rabbit character in Alice in Wonderland, which was written by Lewis Carroll. Podesta’s other twenty-two adopted siblings are not as well known to most researchers.

     [Note Regarding possible symbolism of Alex Podesta’s rabbit costumes: Alice author Lewis Carroll’s real name was Charles Dodgson, and he took actual photographs of topless young girls (possibly some of the first photos of their kind). The “White Rabbit” has also become a symbol representing people who are looking for clues into conspiracy theories. If the costumes refer to Playboy Bunnies, it could be a reference to pedophilia, because Hugh Hefner was photographed being served by a girl, dressed as a Playboy Bunny, who was only about nine years old; moreover, Sonny and Cher dressed their daughter Chastity as a Playboy Bunny when she was only three. Incidentally, Sonny was an adult when he began his relationship with Cher when she was still a teen.]

     Another thing about John Podesta, which merits concern, is that he has the nickname “Skippy”, and that it is an alter ego of Podesta, representing his angry side. On September 5^th, 2000, The New York Times published an article titled “In a Lobby-Happy Washington, Politics Can Be Even Thicker Tha Blood”, written by Robert Pear and John Broder. They wrote, “Colleagues say, half-jesting, that he [John Podesta] has an evil twin named Skippy, who is invoked to bring order to an unruly White House.” [Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2000/09/05/us/in-a-lobby-happy-washington-politics-can-be-even-thicker-than-blood.html]

     Podesta's relatives and nickname are not the only creepy things about him. Researchers believe he was involved in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.


6. What Do the Podestas, Alefantis, and Sigmund Freud Have to Do with the Disappearance of Madeleine McCann?

     For one, Scotland Yard released composite police sketches of “suspicious persons” possibly involved in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, a British girl who went missing in Portugal in 2007. An Australian television news program even showed the police sketches on-air. The photographs look suspiciously like she could be Ghislaine Maxwell (Jeffrey Epstein’s girlfriend and accomplice) with a shorter haircut, and John and Tony Podesta. There is even a police sketch showing a man, who looks like John Podesta, carrying a child.

     Researchers who accessed John Podesta’s email history, through Wikileaks, from around that time, note that emails from before May 2007 are missing. Researchers suggest the emails were deleted. Madeleine disappeared on May 3^rd, 2007. John Podesta has admitted to going to Portugal that year, but he claims that he was not anywhere near the scene of the crime at the time of the disappearance; he says that he was in Portugal after the disappearance.

     Researchers have noted a possible connection between James Alefantis and the country of Madeleine McCann’s disappearance. Alefantis’s restaurant, Comet Ping Pong, is close to another pizza restaurant, called Besta Pizza. “Besta” turns out to be the Portuguese word for “beast”. This has caused researchers to suspect that Besta Pizza was given its name as a conscious nod to the Devil, or to Satan. Moreover, Comet Ping Pong’s exterior decorations – which feature stars and crescent moons – possibly represent the maleficent god Baphomet (depicted as pointing at those symbols, with the right hand raised and the left hand lowered).

     Pizzagate researchers cited the F.B.I.'s Operation Innocent Images project, to prove that Besta Pizza’s logo – a triangular pizza slice with a spiral triangle on it – resembled a known pedophile code symbol. The fact that the F.B.I. had released a guide to pedophile symbols - which include spiral triangles and spiral hearts - was known to British press as early as early 2016, months before the Pizzagate theories went public.

     After this information was exposed, Ohio-based reporter Ben Swann - known for his exposure of the intentional misreporting about the viability and popularity of Ron Paul's presidential efforts - produced the first televised news show segment regarding Pizzagate. Ben Swann reported that Besta Pizza had changed its logo  removing the spiral triangle – after allegations that it was a Satanic symbol, became known to Besta’s owners. This means that Alefantis may have other devil-worshiping businessmen friends in the area.

     Whether John Podesta and James Alefantis are working together or not, Podesta may still be working with his brother Tony, Ghislaine Maxwell, and/or Clement Freud, to harm children. The Podestas are allegedly friends of Clement Freud.

     British Member of Parliament Clement Freud (a descendant of Sigmund Freud) was reported to be a friend of Madeleine’s parents, Gerry and Kate. In June 2016, the Daily Mail reported that the now deceased former M.P. was vacationing just a mile or so away from the McCanns on the day of the disappearance, and befriended Gerry and Kate, the girl's parents, while they searched for their missing daughter. M.P. Freud was exposed as a child molester after his death.

     Sigmund Freud, himself, has been accused of ignoring some of his patients’ reports of sexual abuse at certain ages, by distracting them with his insistence that something else sexual must have happened to them, additionally, prior to the incidents they reported. Thus, it’s possible that Sigmund Freud covered up (or ignored) valid sexual abuse claims; making him a “pedophile enabler”. And it’s possible that Clement Freud carried on this “family tradition” by assisting in the abduction of Madeleine McCann from her vacation home, or at least carried it on with the girls he reportedly molested.

7. Is There Any Proof That John Podesta Abused Kids, Aside from the Madeleine McCann Theory?

     It's not only Madeleine McCann whom John Podesta may have abused.

     Pizzagate researchers obtained audio of a man screaming at a child and demanding that the child call him “dad”. The man screams "You will call me your father". Before calling the man “dad”, the child guesses “Skippy” (Podesta's nickname), and also "John". The man is also heard singing the theme song from the children's television show Caillou, which includes the lyrics "I grow stronger every day". The man sings the part of the theme song which contains the lyrics "I'm just a kid who's four", and then he sings "I'm John Podesta".

     Researchers believe the man in the audio was John Podesta; some citing the man's having sung what sounds an awful lot like "I'm John Podesta", others doing voice comparisons between that audio and audio of Podesta in a parking lot telling a reporter to “get lost”.

     The audio of the man screaming, was associated with a grainy, purple-ish video which may depict a shower; although it’s not clear whether the video had anything to do with the audio. This audio/video clip is known to researchers as the "Fatherhood" clip. Whether the child was a boy or a girl is unclear; the author of this article personally believes that the child sounds like a girl, somewhere between the ages of five and nine years old.

     Andrew Breitbart tweeted, “How prog-guru John Podesta isn’t household name as world class underage sex slave op cover-upperer defending unspeakable dregs escapes me” on February 4^th, 2011. Just under one year and one month later, Breitbart collapsed while jogging, supposedly from a heart attack.

     People who researched the John Podesta e-mail leaks (from Wikileaks) also discovered the existence girls named Emerson, Ruby, Maeve, and Evie; granddaughters of Tamera Stanton Luzzatto. Luzzatto emailed Podesta and others, saying that three of those girls would be in a heated pool "for entertainment".

     Tamera Stanton Luzzatto was one of Hillary Clinton’s senior aides. She also worked for the Pew Charitable Trusts, and as an aide to West Virginia Senator David Rockefeller. Luzzatto is married to David Leiter, who once served as an aide for John Kerry.

     Luzzatto had a blog - called “Evie’s Crib” (named for her youngest granddaughter) - where she typed creepy things about her granddaughters and posted photos of them. Researchers suspect that she was selling photos of them, or possibly even selling the girls themselves.

8. "The Jewish Angle": Who is Tamera Stanton Luzzatto, and What Does it Have to Do with Blood Libel?

     Tamera Stanton Luzzatto is descended from the Jewish-Italian Luzzatto family. One of that family’s most famous members was Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto (who lived from 1707 to 1746).

     Another probable relative of Tamera Luzzatto is Sergio Luzzatto, an Italian book reviewer. In 2007, Sergio Luzzatto's review for the book Pasque di Sangue (which translates to "Bloody Passover") was published in the Italian newspaper Corriere della Serra. The book, written by Israeli professor of history Ariel Toaff, reportedly asserts that "fundamentalist Ashkenazic Jews" killed several Christian babies between 1100 and 1500. Sergio Luzzatto praised the book for exposing that information.
     [Source: https://forward.com/news/10085/blood-libel-scholar-pulls-book-pledges-funds-to-a/]
     While it's not clear how closely Sergio and Tamera are related, nor whether they know each other, this is a startling admission, especially coming from a Jewish Israeli (i.e., Professor Toaff). Dr. Amos Luzzatto - another probable relative of Sergio and Tamera - criticized Sergio's book review and Toaff's book. 
     [Source: https://www.pressreader.com/article/281852934100717?srsltid=AfmBOorYM0jIZasy7nmNDiUsc5Y2A1ysHEtFx_6e9tyLTno0h0I5lqUj]
     It seems that the issue of whether Jews killed Christian children in 1100s-1400s Europe is dividing the Luzzatto family.
     

     One of the most famous examples of Christian children allegedly being murdered by Jewish people, between 1100 and 1500, was the "Rape of Trent" incident.

     The “Rape of Trent” scandal, in Renaissance-era Italy, eventually became known as the “Blood Libel Claim”, and raised concern among Jews that the claim held wider implications upon all Jewish people in general; in particular, claims of child rape, child murder, and sacrifice of Christian children. Jews became – and rightfully remain – concerned about this wider paranoia, because some Jewish people – in the city of Trent, Italy – were forced to convert, and even tortured and executed if they did not, due to the aftermath of this incident.

     The “Rape of Trent” was a 1475 incident in which a three-year-old Italian Christian boy named Simonino was murdered. He was found in an underground Jewish ritual bath. On March 26^th, 1475, Simonino’s dead body was found in a “water cellar” which was used, in part, for “ritual bathing”, on a property that included “a hall that functioned as a synagogue”.

     [Source: https://archive.org/details/trent147500rpoc] This property was owned by a Jewish man named Samuel; his last name is unknown.

     Curiously (not that this has anything to do, directly, with John or Tony Podesta) the person who received the initial report of the discovery of the boy’s body – from Samuel – was “the podesta”. Podesta is an Italian term for a position of authority in government, which basically translates to “the powerful one”, “the one who possesses the power”, or “the one who is able”.

     The most similar modern-day incident, which relates to the Rape of Trent, was the so-called “Jew tunnels” incident from January 8^th, 2024. On that day, riots broke out at the Temple of Chabad-Lubavitch, at 770 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, Brooklyn (which happens to be the World Headquarters of the House of Chabad-Lubavitch, the largest, wealthiest, and most prominent branch of Zionist Jews).

     Those riots involved Hasidic Jews hurling pews at New York City police officers, after a citizen filmed a Jewish man crawling out of a tunnel onto street-level, and presented it to police. A non-Jewish man who lived nearby, later posted a video, to social media, claiming that he had heard people moving below his apartment which he had been told was the building’s basement.

     Those riots occurred because the attendees of that temple were upset that the police had discovered secret tunnels which had been built underground, as an illegal extension to the temple. The temple’s fight with the city, regarding additions and construction, has been ongoing and publicized.

     Researchers were concerned that children may have been involved, because they discovered images of soiled mattresses, which temple attendees claimed were there for the purpose of muffling the sound from construction. Researchers skeptical about this claim, believed that the mattresses may have been used to muffle the sounds of child rape.

     While that matter is still unclear, it is worth noting that the mattresses are not the only thing about the Chabad-Lubavitch tunnels incident which provoke suspicion. For one, the tunnels were reportedly concreted-over, after the incident, which means a lot of evidence was probably destroyed. Moreover, discarded children’s strollers were also found underground. The people at the temple claim that the strollers were just down there because the tunnel served as a convenient storage location, but researchers have their doubts as to the veracity of those claims.

9. "The Ukrainian Angle" and "The Russian Angle": What Pizzagate Has to Do with Joe and Hunter, Burisma, and the Russo-Ukrainian War

     Of course, none of this should serve to imply that all Jewish people are pedophiles, nor child abusers, however. The Podesta family is Roman Catholic, Alefantis’s religion is unclear, Hillary Clinton is a Methodist, whether John Podesta and Marina Abramovic are Satanists has yet to be determined. There are a whole bunch of people, connected to Pizzagate, who are not Jewish. But plenty of them are; for example, Tamera Stanton Luzzatto, and possibly James Alefantis.

     I say none of this in order to promote the “Blood Libel Claim”; I only say it in order to stop certain individuals, who happen to be Jewish, from using the fact that Jews have historically been persecuted, to justify failing to launch investigations against Jewish individuals suspected of child sexual abuse.

     Aside from the “Jewish angle”, the “Ukrainian angle” must be explored as well. For one, Tamera Luzzatto’s husband, David Leiter, not only worked for John Kerry; he was also a lobbyist for Burisma, the “Ukrainian” energy firm headed by Americans and actually headquartered in Cyprus. Kerry’s stepson, David Heinz Kerry, worked on Burisma’s board, and left when Hunter Biden arrived (possibly because Hunter Biden arrived; it’s not clear).

     This happened right before the 2020 leaks of the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop (which included photos from his phone). Those leaks revealed that Hunter's ex-wife had described his new girlfriend as a “CHILD”, and revealed photos of Hunter Biden next to drugs on a table, and also next to a young lady with black hair, wearing a thong, who looked very skinny and possibly also underage. It’s possible that the girl was trafficked for sex, deliberately, from either Ukraine or Russia.

     The Hunter Biden photo leaks also revealed Hunter laying on a couch, with several girls' bare feet on his clothed torso. The girls in the photo are about twelve or thirteen years old, and possibly include Hunter's daughter. But even if Hunter's girlfriend is technically of age to give consent, and he didn't abuse his daughter or any of her friends, it's still possible that Hunter is committing sex trafficking.

     The Hunter Biden photo leaks revealed that Hunter has a large tattoo of the Finger Lakes, on his back. For an unknown reason, one of the lakes is drawn incorrectly. Author and disease researcher Leonard "Len" Horowitz believes that this tattoo is a reference to the NXIVM cult (pronounced "nexium" / "NEK-see-um"). The cult was reportedly headquartered in eastern New York State (in the towns of Albany, Colonie, and Half Moon), but Horowitz believes that the cult was also active in western New York, near the Finger Lakes. Horowitz also suspects that the cult performed ayahuasca ceremonies there.

     Joe Biden is also a pedophile. On January 3rd, 2015 - while ceremonially swearing-in Republican Montana Senator Steve Daines - Joe Biden pinched the right nipple of Maria Piacesi, the daughter of Daines's sister Christine Piacesi. Maria was about eight years old when this happened. This was broadcast live on C-SPAN 2. A researcher named Johnathan Pessetti reached out to Maria, via TikTok, and she confirmed that Biden pinched her, and that people around her wouldn't do anything about it. The author of this article (Joe Kopsick) reached out to the D.C. Police, and they asserted that, in order for them to do anything about it, the girl's parents would have to come forward.

     The D.C. Police believe that C-SPAN 2 is not responsible for transmitting child abuse material, in the act of broadcasting Biden's pinching of that girl, live on national television. Some researchers suspect that Biden enlisted his Secret Service staff to help him get away with groping girls and women. Additionally, Joe Biden reportedly welcomed people to his home, in a manner which caused them to walk up to his pool, to find that he was swimming nude.

     There is also a photograph of Biden, taken in the 1970s, which depicts Joe Biden staring at the mid-section of a young girl, while covering his crotch. Researchers who believe Biden is a pedophile say he was covering an erection. It's also possible that the reason why Joe Biden holds girls close to him, while standing behind them, is so that he can take that opportunity to "grind" his penis against their backs.

     The Podesta Group provided lobbying work to the European Center for a Modern Ukraine (E.C.M.U.), in 2011-2012. The E.C.M.U. is a Brussels-based think tank which is allegedly controlled by the Ukraine, and it is sympathetic to the anti-N.A.T.O. Party of Regions. Thus, the Democratic Podestas are not the only political figures associated with the E.C.M.U.; the think tank was created by Republican Paul Manafort, and by Rick Gates. Manafort worked to “Westernize” the Party of Regions, receiving $12.7 million for doing so. The party is associated with Viktor Yanukovych, and with Nikola Zlochevsky, the Ecology and Natural Resources Minister who founded Burisma in 2002.

     Moreover, Marina Abramovic – friend and possible “art” student of Tony’s brother John – has been filmed in Ukraine, participating in exhibits which support the Zelensky regime. These exhibits were named “This is Ukraine: Defending Freedom”, and “Crystal Wall of Crying”.

     I say none of this to attack Ukrainians. The fact that the Clintons have been accused of effectively “installing” Boris Yeltsin into the presidency of Russia (by funding his campaign), should make us wonder whether there is Democratic-Russian corruption going on, in addition to Democratic-Ukrainian corruption. I have exposed corruption between both sides and both countries; in my October 2019 article “Forty-Eight American Political Figures with Ties to Ukraine”, which can be read at the following link: https://aquarianagrarian.blogspot.com/2019/10/thirty-american-politicians-with-ties.html. Additionally, my November 2019 article “Evidence of the Trumps’ and Clinton’s Possible Collusion with Russia and Ukraine”, which can be found here: https://aquarianagrarian.blogspot.com/2019/11/evidence-of-trumps-and-clintons.html


10. Conclusion: How to Get Real, Thorough Investigations of Alleged Child Abusers and War Profiteers

     Again, aside from possibly favoring Russian and/or Ukrainian interests over the interests of Americans, the fact that the Clintons, Bidens, Heinz-Kerrys, Manafort, and the Trumps are all Zionists, should not be lost on us. The State of Israel was recently exposed as routinely harboring American Jews, accused of sex crimes against children, who flee from prosecution in the U.S., by going to Israel.

     But this fact – and the wider Epstein scandal, about which the public is currently learning a lot – as well as the fact that Israel provided support to both Ukraine and Russia in the early days of the Russo-Ukrainian War, should all prompt American voters to ask whether the U.S., the State of Israel, and the arguably illegitimate Zelensky regime in Ukraine, could be working together.

     It seems that all of those parties may share a common goal; to destabilize eastern Ukraine and southwestern Russia, for the purpose of impoverishing its people to the point that they are hungry enough, and desperate enough, to sell their own children into sex slavery, for the enjoyment of Westerners.

     Whether that’s the intention or not, that seems to be what has become the result of their collaboration, anyway. Especially judging by the size of Hunter Biden's "child" girlfriend's ribcage.

     These concerns are valid, they are connected, and they reveal widespread abuse in our government, across multiple political parties and levels of government. We need to be asking a lot more questions, looking into things a lot more deeply, and demanding a lot more investigations.

     Democrats have been afraid to expose Republican pedophilia and dealings in Ukraine, because they have been afraid that such an investigation would turn-up dirt on them. The same problem explains why Republicans will not release the unredacted Epstein black book, the flight logs, and the flight manifests. Additionally, the Republicans do not want to protect any children except for those harmed by undocumented immigrants.

     This is why the only party (or parties) qualified to investigate these matters, are independent candidates, and candidates endorsed by minor parties and "third parties". We must elect candidates endorsed by whichever viable party has had the lowest number of allegations of sexual abuse and child abuse. The only way to achieve real, thorough investigation of incidents of human trafficking which possibly involve people connected to both major political parties, will be to elect enough people who want all alleged child sex abusers thoroughly investigated, such that they constitute a majority of the elected representatives in government.

     That is how true independence, neutrality, and third-party resolution of conflicts, is supposed to work. We can do this at any time, by drastically increasing support for third parties and independents, and by lobbying for the repeal or amendment of election laws which unfairly favor existing, "grandfathered-in" parties. We can also amend our Constitution, so as to abolish the Senate (and/or the Electoral College), in a way that achieves a parliamentary-style single house. We could also add new chambers, or separations of branches. When using proper constitutional processes, anything is possible.

Andrew Tate Scandal Becomes Sixth (Not Second) Trafficking Scandal in U.S. History to Involve Pizza

 Introduction

     In late December 2022, former kickboxing champion and men’s self-help guru Andrew Tate tweeted environmental activist Greta Thunberg to brag about his car collection and how much his cars pollute.

     Thunberg’s response, and the ensuing reactions on Twitter, resulted in accusations that Tate’s bragging amounted to hitting on a young woman who just recently became an adult (she was 19 at the time and turned 20 on January 3rd), and to the arrest of Andrew Tate while in Romania, on suspicion that he, his brother, and others, kidnapped at least six women in order to force them to appear in pornographic films with Tate and others.

     Since Romanian police were able to locate Tate due to his tweeting a picture of himself alongside a pizza box from Jerry’s Pizza in Romania, this scandal is being called “the second Pizzagate scandal”.

     But that is only being said because this, and the Pizzagate child sex trafficking scandal from 2016, are the two best-publicized human trafficking scandals involving pizza.

Six Scandals

     Based on my research, I can count no fewer than six pizza-related trafficking scandals throughout American history:

     #1. 1975-1987: Pizza restaurants in the Northeastern and Midwestern United States – including New York City – were discovered to be laundering heroin, using pizza as a code word for the drug.

     Those restaurants were discovered to have been set up, as front operations, by elements of the Italian and Sicilian mafias in America. This was an international drug ring that imported heroin from Southeast Asia.

     Read more about the “Pizza Connection Trial” at the following link:

     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizza_Connection_Trial

 

     #2. May 14^th, 1998: John F. Kennedy Jr. reads a poem on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, supposedly written by Monica Lewinsky at age nine, describing pizza in a sexual way. The poem seems to have been some sort of cryptic reference to the Clinton-Lewinsky sex scandal.

     J.F.K. Jr. died in a plane crash just over fourteen months after that interview.

     Watch the full interview at the following link:

     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_zQO9l4n-E

     #3. June 1^st, 2011: The reporting on Donald Trump's use of a fork to eat pizza, while eating with Sarah Palin in New York City. This (probably manufactured) scandal was dubbed "Pizzagate" in various media. Outlets that covered this story included M.S.N.B.C. and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

     Stewart, a former roommate of Anthony Weiner (in college) had had Weiner on The Daily Show earlier that year. When Stewart was asked, in a television interview, whether he was surprised that Weiner had sent sexual messages to teenage girls, Stewart said he was surprised, but also resisted the urge to laugh, and said of Weiner, “He ain’t Hitler.”

     Stewart’s relationship with Weiner, and the fact that the “Trump eats pizza with a fork” Pizzagate story came out the same day as Donald Trump's interview with Piers Morgan (in which he became the first person to use the phrase "pizzagate" on television), suggest that Stewart and/or others may have conspired to create a second, fake Pizzagate scandal, which had to do with actual pizza instead of sex crimes.
     On June 1st, 2011, Donald Trump became the first person to use the word "Pizzagate" on television, via phone interview with C.N.N.’s Piers Morgan, in discussion of then late-breaking revelations about Anthony Weiner. Trump told Morgan, “I heard about Weinergate, I heard about Pizzagate”.

     In my opinion, it's even possible that Trump - a friend of Jeffrey Epstein's, along with Weiner associate Hillary Clinton - may have helped give fuel to the fire, popularizing the "Trump eats pizza with a fork" by giving interviews about why he did it, as if it were a real news story.

     The purpose of this - if it happened that way - would have been to create a new scandal with the same name, making it difficult for people to figure out what Trump meant when he used the word Pizzagate in relation to Weiner’s sex scandal. For example, people trying to do internet searches for whichever “Pizzagate” Donald Trump was talking about, would find the answers that they were looking for, to be suppressed, in proportion to the number of results that they would find, regarding the reporting about Trump eating pizza with a fork.

     Watch the clip of Trump’s interview with Piers Morgan at the following link:
     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wAEcN9UIy8

     #4. October and November 2016: Wikileaks publishes leaked e-mails which prove James Alefantis to be an acquaintance of John Podesta; and which researchers interpret to implicate John Podesta and Comet Ping Pong owner James Alefantis as possible cannibals and pedophiles, Tony Podesta as a possible pedophile and a long-time friend of Dennis Hastert, Tamera Stanton Luzzatto and husband David J. Leiter as pedophiles, and Hillary Clinton and Marina Abramovic as Moloch or devil worshipers.

     These allegations involved claims that John Podesta and others were using code-words for child sexual abuse (and possibly also cannibalism) in their e-mails to each other.

    John Podesta had also seen some of his e-mails leaked in March 2016, seven months before the rest of the leaks began.

     The following Buzzfeed article is cited by Wikipedia as one of the top two articles which supposedly debunks the idea that the Pizzagate sex scandal implicates Hillary Clinton and pertains to Anthony Weiner.

     However, the tweet which the article suggests is dubious – sent by @DavidGoldbergNY, a Jewish lawyer who may or may not be a real person - alleges that Hillary and her husband took trips with Weiner on “their pedophile billionaire’s plane, the Lolita Express”.

     That tweet – sent on October 30^th, 2016 - was an obvious reference to Jeffrey Epstein, but neither the tweet nor the Buzzfeed article mentions Epstein by name:

     http://www.buzzfeed.com/craigsilverman/fever-swamp-election

     During this scandal, James Alefantis and Hillary Clinton were both accused, by researchers, of holding children in the basement of Comet Ping Pong, possibly in cages; for sexual and/or cannibalistic purposes.

     Many researchers have pointed to troubling posts on Alefantis’s Instagram account (@jimmycomet) involving dolls, Alefantis standing behind a young girl with her hands taped to a table, Alefantis’s numerous questionable Instagram followers and business partners, and other disturbing facts. Alefantis was also rumored to have “hooked up” with 16-year-old male employees (New York's age of consent to sex is sixteen).

     Detractors of the theory claim that Alefantis was telling the truth when he told FOX News’s Megyn Kelly that Comet Ping Pong doesn’t have a basement, but he admitted that he used its basement to store tomatoes and other ingredients in an interview in the D.C. Metro Weekly on April 16^th, 2015.

     Alefantis told Metro Weekly, “…we harvest a whole crop of organic tomatoes – ten tons of tomatoes every year. Can them all, store them in the basement, have like a harvest party when it gets loaded in.”

     See proof of that here:

     http://www.metroweekly.com/2015/04/from-scratch-james-alefantis/

     #5. December 4^th, 2016: Actor Edgar Maddison Welch drives from North Carolina to the District of Columbia, and enters D.C.-based pizza restaurant Comet Ping Pong, owned by "Jimmy Comet" the nickname of James Alefantis. Alefantis was the former boyfriend of politico David Brock.

     Pizzagate researchers believe Welch shot at the restaurant's computer tower because he believed it to contain child pornography. Despite shooting nobody, Welch was later sentenced to prison by Ketanji Brown Jackson, who was confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court in 2022.

     Read more about Welch and that shooting here:

     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizzagate_conspiracy_theory#Criminal_responses

     #6. December 2022: Former kickboxing champion and men’s self-help guru Andrew Tate tweets environmental activist Greta Thunberg to brag about his car collection and how much his cars pollute. Her response, and the ensuing reactions, result in accusations that Tate was attempting to “groom” Thunberg, and also to the arrest of Andrew Tate while in Romania, on suspicion that he kidnapped at least six women in order to force them to appearing in pornographic films with Tate and others.

     Romanian police were able to confirm Tate’s location because he posted a photograph of him with a pizza box from Jerry’s Pizza, a local restaurant that is only in Romania.

     Read more about the allegations against Tate, regarding his “Hustler University” sex trafficking operation, at the following link:

     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UK1siFYwkeg

     Additionally, in the early 1990s, it became evident to "pizza runners" in Washington, D.C. that increases in local pizza orders correlate with increased activity in foreign policy or military news, such as preparations for war.

Conclusion, and Author’s Notes

     I do not say all of this in order to allege that there is any connection, between the Tate scandal and Pizzagate, aside from the fact that they share pizza and sex trafficking in common.

     I state these facts merely to prove that the Tate scandal is not the second pizza-related trafficking scandal in American history, and in order to help readers recognize patterns which may prove informative at a later date.

     Please watch my video, about the possible use of ice cream, as a code word for child sexual abuse, at the following link:

     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UK1siFYwkeg

     None of this is intended to imply that all references to pizza, and/or ice cream, are references to sexual abuse. I have made it clear - in my videos and writing - which specific purposes and instances of usages of such terms, should be considered suspicious, and why.

Numerous Connections Between Jeffrey Epstein and Comet Ping Pong Owner James Alefantis Suggest Pizzagate Could Be True After All

      I have created the informational graphic below, to show why I believe there is a high probability that the "Pizzagate" conspiracy theory is true (or at least parts of it), due to the fact that so many social, business, and political connections exist between Jeffrey Epstein and James Alefantis.

     I have created this social network map for readers who can admit that Jeffrey Epstein probably provided prostitutes and/or child sex slaves for high-profile politicians, but still do not think that any part of the "Pizzagate" theory could be possible.

     For the record, I do not believe that Hillary Clinton is personally involved in the sex trafficking or torture of children in the basement of Comet Ping Pong Pizza in Washington, D.C. (owned by James Alefantis).

     But I do believe it's possible that Alefantis was selling child pornography on the encrypted section of his restaurant's website, and also that James Alefantis and John Podesta may be involved in sex crimes against children. It's also possible that Alefantis and Podesta may be involved in cannibalism, Satanism, and/or torture (or, at the very least, pig butchering and the illicit art trade).

Alan Dershowitz Cited Ethnicity to Defend His Opposition to Statutory Rape Laws

 

This opinion-editorial was written by Alan M. Dershowitz,

and published by the Los Angeles Times, in 1997.

     Dershowitz served as convicted child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein's attorney at least twice before Epstein's reported death in 2019. Epstein's main accuser, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, claims that Alan Dershowitz flew on Epstein's plane "The Lolita Express" and had sex with minors.

     Dershowitz, who is married, maintains that he never took his pants off, and merely got a massage from an old Russian woman. Dershowitz maintains that he never had sex with any children, despite the fact that he has publicly gone on record as being against statutory rape laws.

     In the op-ed, Dershowitz says that he supports prohibitions on sex with very young children. After the op-ed was published, Dershowitz explained that he was making a constitutional argument, not a moral argument.

     However, that does not mean he is morally opposed to having sex with teenagers. In the article, he focuses on teenagers having sex with each other; probably to distract the reader from the fact that eliminating statutory rape laws, or lowering the legal age of consent, would result in adults having sex with teenagers.

     The one thing that Dershowitz and I agree on is that morality certainly doesn't enter into his argument. There are certainly arguments which can be made about statutory rape laws, which are both moral and constitutional. Dershowitz's argument is not one of them. It is odd for Dershowitz to claim that his argument is a constitutional one, when he doesn't even mention the Constitution a single time in the article.

     In my opinion, Dershowitz's goal, with this op-ed, is to use the "constitutional" (or legal) argument which could be made in favor of loosening or eliminating statutory rape laws, as a sort of Trojan Horse. His goal is to cloak the defense of teenagers having sex before they are old enough to consent, in a legal argument, and frame it as a constitutional argument.

     It is important to notice that the very title of the article is "Statutory Rape Is an Outdated Concept". If he were questioning the concept of statutory rape only in a legal sense but not in an ethical sense, then he would have titled the article "Statutory Rape Laws Are Flawed" or something to that effect. He is clearly questioning both the legal and ethical bases for statutory rape laws.
     Dershowitz writes that "It is obvious that there must be criminal sanctions against sex with very young children, but it is doubtful whether such sanctions should apply to teenagers above the age of puberty, since voluntary sex is so common in their age group." Dershowitz shows with this sentence that he is either unaware of the idea that teenagers are not old enough nor mature enough to consent to sex, or else he is simply opposed to the idea and wishes to give it no recognition in his article.

     Nothing in this op-ed suggests that Dershowitz is opposed to adults having sex with teenagers. He doesn't even mention it. It's as if he thinks he has no responsibility to, or that adults having sex with teenagers has nothing to do with the topic being discussed. It absolutely does.

     Even more shameful in all of this, is the fact that Dershowitz cited the fact that "puberty is apparently arriving earlier, particularly among certain ethnic groups". I do not know what Dershowitz is referring to, but an article published by WebMD in 2002 confirmed that African-American girls begin puberty before white girls. However, they only begin puberty an average of six months earlier. That is not even a full year, and thus is hardly a justification for lowering the age of consent.

     That article can be viewed here: http://www.webmd.com/baby/news/20021009/girls-menstruating-earlier#:~:text=While%20the%20average%20age%20of,months%20earlier%20than%20white%20girls.

     Considering this small difference, consider what it could mean that Dershowitz is citing ethnicity to justify eliminating statutory rape laws. The argument that "some ethnicities, like African-Americans, 'mature' earlier", is not very different from, and aligns perfectly with the way of thinking that informs the "black girls like wild sex" stereotype. Some African-American women have been exposed to violent sex, and heard their aggressors make the excuse that they had heard that black women liked wild sex. This stereotype is fed by the old idea that Africans are "wild", which is based on the idea that they're sub-human, and basically animals, and need to be controlled. The idea that black girls "mature earlier" is thus a medical fact, but not a noteworthy one considering the probability that the fact is only cited to justify raping African-American teenagers. It also potentially implies that black people immature, an idea which could be used to justify controlling them. And rape is a form of control.

     "If there's fluff on the muff, she's old enough" is not a medical saying. Nor is it a legal saying.

     If getting your period makes you a woman, and that makes it OK to have sex, then by that logic it's OK to have sex with young girls if they experience precocious puberty. Twelve and thirteen years old are not the youngest ages at which a female has experienced menarche (first menstruation). That age is four.

     There should not be a purely biological standard regarding when losing one's virginity is appropriate. Nor should that standard be dictated by "maturity", nor ability to earn money and have a career. There are plenty of talented children, child stars, and children capable of performing labor or investing in stocks. That does not make it OK for adults, or other children or teenagers, to have sex with them. That does not make it OK to marry children. Child molesters will tell teenagers and children that they are mature all day; they do this in order to justify treating them like adults.

     Age must be the standard; not biology, nor race, nor puberty, nor maturity, nor financial independence, nor work capability. If being at a "lowered capacity to consent" makes it OK for two drunk adults to have sex, then the same logic could be used to justify a retarded old man having sex with a little girl. Or getting drunk in order to be "on the same level as" a sober teenager.

     Age must be the standard. We must maintain the purpose of statutory rape laws, which is to place the obligation to prove the younger person's age, upon the older person, if and when there is any question about whether it was legal for the people in question to have sex, given their possible ages.

     We must maintain statutory rape laws and age of consent laws, and improve upon them, to prevent the federal government from unnecessarily and unconstitutionally intervening in child trafficking laws in a manner which causes the lower federal age of consent to trump the state's higher age of consent. (Note: You can learn more about this topic by researching the case of Esquivel-Quintana v. Sessions.)
     Laws against trafficking children out of state for sex, are useless, as long as the federal government has an age of consent of twelve, with a defense written into the law that basically instructs child molesters to argue that they reasonably thought that the victim was at least 16 years old.

     This country's child sexual abuse laws are a complete mess, and Dershowitz's arguments only help the types of attorneys and other people in the legal professions who would be in the position to read this article. Dershowitz's "op-ed" thus amounts to little more than advice to child molesters and wannabe child rapists - especially those in or connected to the legal professions - who want to use these twisted arguments, and the "black girls mature earlier" argument, to justify having sex with minors which is both illegal and wrong.

     I appreciate the fact that Alan Dershowitz defended Julian Assange on rape charges. I also appreciate that Assange's victim was represented and was able to file charges. Everyone has the right to a defense. But we should be concerned that Dershowitz is leveraging his reputation as the nation's best defender of the "duty of adequate representation" (the duty to adequately represent your client) in order to justify his continued defense of accused child rapists and Israeli spies.

     When you see a Jewish lawyer defend Israeli spy, after Israeli spy, accused of child sex trafficking after Israeli spy after rapist, and see him defend eliminating statutory rape laws in an article in the paper, maybe it's time to wonder whether he's a pedophile. The fact that Epstein's main accuser, Virginia Giuffre, alleges he's a pedophile, ought to suggest that anyone connected to Dershowitz, or anyone who's been following him since 1997, might have been watching him for advice on how to abuse children and get away with it.

     They can certainly go to the U.S. Code section on child sex crimes for similar advice.
