Re: Donald Trump Blasts CNN Reporter On Live TV: "You Work For A Fake News Agency" by muscoliscious(f): 8:34am On Jan 17, 2017 |
“Pizzagate” seems like too cute of a name for a conspiracy theory that’s escalated to the point that an armed man actually drove up the East Coast to “self-investigate” whether a D.C. pizza restaurant had a secret pedophilia dungeon in its basement, ending with him shooting his assault rifle inside the restaurant and being arrested. But the name stuck. The story seemed like a hilarious curiosity in the weeks before the presidential election. Taking the so-called Pizzagaters seriously seemed about as sensible as taking the possibility of a Donald Trump presidency seriously, and both seemed like relatively safe targets for poking fun. But just as many expected a return to the rational world after Trump’s defeat, only to wake up on November 9 living in Trump’s world, this bizarre pizza-pedophilia piece of make-believe seems to have struck the right kind of nerve in this simultaneously gullible and paranoid time to become a lasting, serious concern. Sometimes a slice is just a slice Pizzagate started, as so many things have in the last few months, with Wikileaks. When Wikileaks released emails from former Hillary Clinton 2016 Campaign Chairman John Podesta’s account, most commentators honed in on the ones showing Clinton allies speaking candidly and sometimes disparagingly about the candidate and her associates, as well as about policies like a federal $15 minimum wage. But a small number of people on message boards like 4chan and Reddit were more interested in seemingly mundane emails about small social gatherings and parties hosted by Podesta and his friends. Specifically, they noticed that these emails mentioned pizza a few times. Boldly disregarding the simple explanation that the emailers, like most Americans , eat pizza regularly and find it to be an easy food to serve and eat while socializing, self-appointed Internet detectives decided that “pizza” was a complex code for pedophilia. Using this code, Pizzagaters claim, Podesta and his well-heeled pals could brazenly discuss their plans for throwing disgusting sex parties exploiting enslaved children, in between exchanges about Clinton’s campaign strategy and setting up conference calls. It’s important to note that since the theories that would become Pizzagate began on 4chan and Reddit, sites known for trolling people with cruel, complicated pranks, it’s likely that many of the conspiracy theory’s originators were joking — coming up with absurdities to entertain themselves. But it took a very short time for /r/Pizzagate, the now-closed Pizzagate-focused Reddit subforum, or subreddit, to fill with people who appeared to be true believers. The theory also became popular on Reddit’s “The Donald,” a hub for Trump supporters. From there, Pizzagate caught the attention of conservative fake news sites, minor white supremacist celebrities, and supporters of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. It’s been amplified for unknown reasons by Twitter bots traced to the Czech Republic, Cyprus and Vietnam. Everyone’s in on it The theories grew to engulf pretty much anything that could be linked to Podesta, or anyone who had ever met him. That’s how they landed on Comet Ping Pong, a popular family-friendly pizza restaurant in Washington, D.C., that also hosts occasional punk shows. James Alefantis, owner of Comet as well as other nearby restaurants, used to date David Brock, head of a pro-Clinton group, and John Podesta knew Alefantis and ate at the restaurant. If “pizza” is code for pedophilia, the rumor mongers reasoned, clearly a pizza restaurant is the dungeon where all the horrors go down. Andrew Breiner is a writer living in Washington, D.C. it takes a conscious mind that checks all area and criticise with his brain to know what the real truth is 1 Like |

rafabenitez: By the later 1930s, most U.S. journalists realized their mistake in underestimating Hitler or failing to imagine just how bad things could get. (Though there remained infamous exceptions, like Douglas Chandler, who wrote a loving paean to “Changing Berlin” for National Geographic in 1937.) Dorothy Thompson, who judged Hitler a man of “startling insignificance” in 1928, realized her mistake by mid-decade when she, like Mowrer, began raising the alarm. “No people ever recognize their dictator in advance,” she reflected in 1935. “He never stands for election on the platform of dictatorship. He always represents himself as the instrument [of] the Incorporated National Will.” Applying the lesson to the U.S., she wrote, “When our dictator turns up you can depend on it that he will be one of the boys, and he will stand for everything traditionally American.” 1 Like |

davidif: One excellent method I use is gather 5 sources with contrasting beliefs. E.g Fox news,Al Jazeera, CNN, Altenet and Reuters. I then compare and analyze their reports, if it matches up I form my stance, if not I categorize the news as bias and wait till there are either more damning evidence or the story is refuted. This is just one of the methods I use, everyone is different but what separates a realist from others is the ability to decipher facts from noise |

davidif: This is a good start, now take each article and research the authors, separate the bias ones from the neutrals. For example, a scientist and an environmentalist would definitely be bias towards Pruitt. Now look at the links below and do the same, then you can form your stance.

abbey621: Well, if I want to read about the climate change or the impact of human activity on the environment I will want to hear from an actual scientist and not a political pundit. |
Re: Donald Trump Blasts CNN Reporter On Live TV: "You Work For A Fake News Agency" by abbey621(m): 1:45pm On Jan 19, 2017 |
davidif: I'm sorry a realist shouldn't think like that, you should always compare and contrast. Ask yourself,can a scientist be bias? Is it possible that climate change consequences have been exaggerated just a tad bit? Everybody knows it's good to protect the environment but in a country with 20 Trillion dollars worth of debt and so many job killing regulations, the EPA is one of the agencies that have lost its ways. Challenging every right from property right to State's rights. If Trump is ever to deliver on his promises,the economy must be unleashed, I'm sorry he's going to have to piss off a lot of environmentalist, human rights advocates and so on, no more apologists like Obama, it's time for real and effective policies bringing America back to the days when ordinary citizens can afford to work 2 to 3 jobs and amassing wealth! |
Re: Donald Trump Blasts CNN Reporter On Live TV: "You Work For A Fake News Agency" by davidif: 2:28pm On Jan 19, 2017 |
abbey621: Wrong! At what cost should we have economic growth? At the cost of clean water and breathable air? Do you want the United states to be like China or Mexico city? I am sorry but I will prefer a real scientist at the head of the EPA and not some corrupt global warming denier. This is a man who put companies ahead of communities. As the AG of Oklahoma, this man sided with his friends in big oil over the people he swore to protect. What about Betsy Devos a billionaire that has spent fortune to fight the public school system in Michigan uhn? I am sorry that I want someone with a background in education who cares about reforming public schools in charge of the department of education and not a woman who has fought for decades against public education. Is that too much to ask? |

davidif: What you want is different from what the country needs according to Trump. Yea in a perfect world, your ideas would be ideal but we live in a real world with real problems. Trump was elected to bring back jobs, improve the economy and do away with the weak image the USA is now associated with. As the president elect, he is entitled to pick anyone that shares his vision, all we ask for is performance! Why don't you allow them to work and then judge later? All these bickering won't accomplish anything! |
