I saw this mentioned in the Wikileaks AMA in Reddit, and it seemed so ridiculous that I felt compelled to look at what was being said. My conclusion was that that it wasn't a joke --- the people doing the research on Reddit genuinely believed what they were writing, and while likely wrong about the specifics of all their accusations, they in fact might have discovered enough oddities to be justified in thinking that "something just wasn't right".
For example, here's an example of the sort of email they felt might be 'coded' pedophilia:
With enormous gratitude to Advance Man Extraordinaire Haber, I am popping up again to share our excitement about the Reprise of Our Gang’s visit to the farm in Lovettsville. And I thought I’d share a couple more notes: We plan to heat the pool, so a swim is a possibility. Bonnie will be Uber Service to transport Ruby, Emerson, and Maeve Luzzatto (11, 9, and almost 7) so you’ll have some further entertainment, and they will be in that pool for sure. And with the forecast showing prospects of some sun, and a cooler temp of lower 60s, I suggest you bring sweaters of whatever attire will enable us to use our outdoor table with a pergola overhead so we dine al fresco (and ideally not al-CHILLo).

While I'm almost certain that a message sent to a listserv talking about transporting "Ruby, Emerson, and Maeve Luzzatto (11, 9, and almost 7) so you’ll have some further entertainment" is just a way of encouraging people to bring their own children of similar age by pointing out that there will be other kids attending, I can see that the odd phrasing might raise suspicion in some contexts. One of those contexts would be finding out that some of the people involved in the email chain are "friends of friends" of people who in fact have been convicted of child molestation, and it seems possible that this is indeed the case. At the least, it seems to be something they believe they have found.
Anyway, if you want to dive into it to see for yourself, here's an summary of some of the 'evidence' they dug up: https://www.reddit.com/r/pizzagate/comments/5da0kp/comet_ping_pong_pizzagate_summary/ https://www.reddit.com/r/pizzagate/comments/5da0kp/comet_pin...
- etherael 10y agoIt's pretty hilarious that amongst the pearl clutching and virtue signaling and holding up the NY times as if it was a crucifix against vampires, there is flat out deafening silence when you bring up just a shred of the things that have been revealed during the affair in question. I don't know what to think either, but the response amongst otherwise intelligent people on this is pretty weird, in both the positive and negative case directions.
