Snopes made a pizzagate page today (nov 21). lists it as "RESEARCH IN PROGRESS" meanwhile, the URL clearly calls it a conspiracy.

Snopes is an established disinfo site. Spread bullshit about everything that doesn't involve email hoaxes.

Keep fighting you beautiful humans.

All hands on deck to prepare to break down the shortcomings and fill in the blanks of the inevitable "thorough research" they present as definitive proof that this is a completely baseless and fully debunked "alt-right nationalist wacky conspiracy theory."

That legitimately has nothing to do with you- I'm Sicilian-American. And we're currently trying to compile a timeline. Give us a minute.

Pizzagaina has LITERALLY NOTHING TO DO with pizza. And conspiracies go into the conspiracy category. You're discussing a conspiracy.

I had never heard of "Pizzagaina" i am unfamiliar with the dish I saw the base word "pizza" / saw the timing of the article / saw the timing of the tweet, and made an assumption.

i apologize

I also apologize if i offended you,that was not my intent.

please do the right thing, and expose these sick people. there are innocent children being harmed... we need you... those children need you...

you can really make a difference here, you can save innocent lives.

as one human being to another...please, expose these sick people.

being perfectly honest, it's very hard to find a cohesive explanation from what I can see. You are on a specialist sub here, but I'm writing for people who want to know what the rumor is and why people believe it's credible.

I'm not offended, but it would be difficult to mark it anything other than unproven unless something very substantive happens (an arrest, really firm proof, witnesses). Right now it is circumstantial, albeit what appears to be a lot of detail.

Remember, my friends, after the last pedo is swinging from the noose, we go after the media who were always so complicit in keeping their 'progressive' masters happy.

TIL thanks!

No Problem.

A lot of words that we today think of as 'evil-ish' or 'dystopian' actually have a pretty descriptive origin.

For example: Propaganda. It was used regularly by most countries (including the Americans) for any kind of recruitment or morale boosting effort till the 40s the it acquired negative connotations because of obvious reasons.

Problem is they'll have the highest search ranking...and the average sheep that google's this will come across the snoopes link saying it's not true

Pedos conspire that is how they hide. We deal with the aftermath of their deeds. Reconstructing along their path of destruction is the work of noble steady minds. If you have fear, don't go down the rabbit hole.

It is a conspiracy, look it up in whatever dictonary/encyclopaedia you trust.
Just remember: there are proven conspiracies, unproven conspiracies, and disproven conspiracy theories...

At this time, all Snopes did was acknowledging the existence of the theory.

They just updated it. Marked it as "Unproven."

SiriusDogon | 1 points | Nov 22 2016 20:07:21

When I checked the article this morning it was 'unproven', now changed to 'false'. Did anyone notice if the author of the piece was changed? I actually thought that they might go with 'unproven' when I saw the title "Chuck E. Sleaze" - a terrific nickname for Alefantis.
