Pizzagate

[Spins]

Spins should definitely avoid the Louvre, Orsay, the Uffizzi and pretty much the entire city of Florence. Maybe give Venice and Rome a Miss too.

Those are museums dude not someones residence or Instagram page.

It happened, didn´t it?

Are you now claiming that the nature of the artworks led to an armed attack as surely as drawing Mohammed would?

Fed it? By posting it in a skeptics forum to be picked apart?

That's not what you did. Weird, innit?

I really want to get him a sweater.

Brass monkeys and other primates

Some winter days one might truly wish for it. Couple hundred feet off the ground in the middle of a windy prairie area at minus 30C.

A pair of long johns would be good too.

And?

 

[Jrrarglblarg]

I tried to calculate it but I think I created a singularity.

That's a correct answer. Usually I stop at "square root of negative zero" step.

Isn´t is obvious? (that it contributed to convince someone to take the gun)

That's not what you did. Weird, innit?

Just because I said "weird innit" means I was pushing the CT?

Ok... whatever...

Why does that make a difference?

The major similarity between an art gallery and a private collection is that the private collector has money akin to that of the gallery, with which to purchase what the curator feels is deserving of being shown.

Are you assuming pedophile leanings of the curators of galleries and museums?

 

[abaddon]

As I've pointed out earlier in this thread people who have visited Tony Podesta's home have been shocked by some of the stuff on his wall, specifically because some of it basically involves naked teens (possibly underage).

I can play devils advocate though and say he's doing it as a psychological thing to make people more susceptible when handing over money (in the form of donations) to the DNC.

But then I always harp back to his relationships with other high profile (convicted) pedophiles like Dennis Hastert, who he's known for a very long time.

Where do you stand on the Manneken Pis?
Or the Rape of the Sabine Women?
Or the Sistine Chapel where all manner of oddness is going on and I only refer to the ceiling let alone anything else?

 

[Belz...]

Well, I'll be learning from that mistake, let me tell you that. Cleaning up fractal black holes is a dirty, back-breaking job, believe me.

Yes IMO the pasta hashtag seems a little out of place, but that's just me.

But the kid in the picture has clearly just eaten pasta!
How can a 'pasta' hashtag be out of place??

If you don't know who the kid is then how on earth do you know the tags are odd? Maybe it's a baby photo of some friend of theirs?

I still don't understand what the issue with the other photo was either.

If you simply stated that the conspiracists thought it weird then no, but you stated you thought it weird and thus imply that you have the same opinion as the conspiracists.

 

[Belz...]

Isn´t is obvious?

Yeah just like me asking someone to stop talking during the movie almost got me punched in the face the other day, but that doesn't mean it was to be expected or that it would've been justified. Mere causal links don't really tell you anything.

Just because I said "weird innit" means I was pushing the CT?

You sure weren't presenting the claim for debunking. You assigned an adjective to it that betrayed your own thoughts and in what direction you were (and apparently still are) leaning.

You obviously can't see the forest for the trees. The pasta itself is irrelevant. In fact, it was put there to hide the "code" of the hashtag!!!

 

[Spins]

And?

For crying out loud I've already told you guys why I find Tony Podesta's art collection weird, I feel like I'm in an endless loop. It's a combination of things not any one thing that you guys keep trying to boil it all down to.

So basically what you are saying is that Tony Podesta's art collection in no way reflects his personal interests or desires?

I have pictures of my own kids in similar states of disarray. Kids do amusing things. I happen not to post them on line*, but we live in an age where people post pictures of trivia such as which yoghurt they had for breakfast.



*Disclaimer: They are now teenagers. Possession of said images is a useful random threat. "One day you will likely get married. Guess what's going to happen..."

Well, no it doesn't in the way you seem to think.

Do you think that stamp collectors have something more intimate in mind when they collect stamps? Maybe they think Penny Black is a person or something? Or a going rate?

The notion is absurd on it's face.

 

[Spins]

And?

For example that headless sculpture seemingly inspired by a photo of one of Jeffrey Dahmer's victims could easily be tied to the "spirit cooking" thing. As in privately, how ever bizarre this may sound to us, they enjoy engaging in cannibalistic style ritualistic behaviour. Then you have to wonder what goes on privately as apposed to publicly. John Podesta's hands are horribly scarred it seems from such endeavours, but again it's all weak evidence that I freely admit could be nothing.

 

[Tolls]

Ditto.
It's one of the more common types of baby photo. I just can't see that sort of thing being considered odd.

 

[NoahFence]

So have we discussed this psycho that wanted to "investigate" this on his own, or are we just in silly mode in the thread?

Have you seen "Grand Theft Auto", have you seen any graphic novels lately?

Would you expect that the players of that game and readers of those novels secretly want to murder prostitutes or lay waste to entire cities?
