Still waiting for a valid explanation of what pizza is code for because they certainly aren’t talking about pizza the food in those emails.
- oblongx 6y agoDon't forget the 65K in hot dogs.
- _curious_ 6y agoHas it been proven that those emails were real in the first place? I too was confused by the use of what appears to be coded language, but then thought to myself: wait, is what I am reading authentic?
- bassrattle 6y agoYes, the emails were real. It was proven and never denied.
- ben_w 6y agoWould you even bother trying to confirm or deny emails about pizza? I'd consider it an even bigger waste of time than supplying the long form of a birth certificate after someone decided that the short form wasn’t good enough proof of nationality for someone who was by that point already the elected president.
- dependenttypes 6y agoThe DKIM signatures were valid.
- blockmarker 6y agoDrugs maybe?
- recursive 6y agoYou may be waiting for a long time. That doesn't really provide any support for the satanic child sex cult thing either though.
- rorykoehler 6y agoI don’t know what they’re talking about. Could literally be anything but they would only codify something they wanted to hide. It’s very weird but I’m not into speculating.
- lowtolerance 6y agoYou’re outwardly speculating that it’s coded speech simply because you lack context.
- dvfjsdhgfv 6y agoI somehow hope they were talking about light drugs. Given the amount of storm it caused, it's beyond me why there was no official examination, to say nothing about explanation.
- newacct583 6y agoOfficial examination of what? I mean, yeah, you're probably right. More likely than not they were talking about weed. Or plausibly sex workers. Something embarassing. Certainly not child trafficking in a literal pizza shop. > Given the amount of storm it caused It really didn't. Except for the lunatic who walked into the restaurant with a gun, almost none of this stuff penetrated mainstream media. FOX watchers got their fill, but they weren't swayable votes, by definition. To the eyeballs the Clinton campaign cared about, Pizzagate was a non-issue. Lefties like me only like to talk about it because it was so crazy insane. This isn't what cost the election.
- IIAOPSW 6y agoWhy are you certain they aren't talking about pizza?
- hnThrowaway-123 6y agocp = cheese pizza. code for child porn
- gentleman11 6y agoI don’t think people’s codes are typically that easy to crack
- Forbo 6y agoCheese pizza is a common euphemism for child pornography online, which I believe originated from 4chan? Not sure on that part, but it's definitely a common slang for it. Now whether that's how they were using it in the emails or not, I have no idea, as I didn't look into the emails. I stopped digging into conspiracy theories around the time the whole Assange "proof-of-life" fiasco was frothing about. I've got better things I can be doing with my time.
- blaser-waffle 6y agoaccording to 4chan, years ago that a government official is using *chan lingo is a stretch, and lends credence to Bannon's point about trying to appeal to the 4chan demographic aka disaffected male youth, who would get the "cp" connection.
- lowtolerance 6y agoWhat kind of fucking creep sees “cheese pizza” and immediately thinks of child porn? I’m fairly well convinced that the real conspiracy here is that the whole lot of you pizza-gaters are just projecting.
- jlmorton 6y agoOkay, I'll bite. I don't think John Podesta has officially commented on what the emails mean, but I think it's pretty safe to assume it is actually quite literal, and they were indeed talking about a handkerchief, a map, and pizza. https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/32795 https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/32795 > Subject: You left something at the Field house > Susan & Herb > I just came from checking the Field house and I have a square cloth handkerchief (white w/ black) that was left on the kitchen island. > Happy to send it via the mail if you let me know where I should send it. > I also meant to inquire yesterday about the pillows you purchased. I can send them as well, if you let me know where they are in the house. > Safe travels to all > Kate > Hi John, > The realtor found a handkerchief (I think it has a map that seems pizza-related. Is it yorus? They can send it if you want. > I know you're busy, so feel free not to respond if it's not yours or you don't want it. > Susaner I mean, they're talking about a handkerchief with a pattern of a map, with various food items on it, like pizza. I have never seen such a handkerchief, but this is almost certainly some sort of a novelty handkerchief with a map of Italy, featuring various types of cuisine common to the region. Which kind of makes sense, since it's a napkin. Why would you assume it is coded? The realtor emails and says, hey, you forgot your handkerchief. Podesta's friend, who was with him, emails him and says, hey, I think that's your handkerchief, the one with the map and pizza and stuff. And this is supposed to be unusual? This is just how people talk.
