Completely untrue. The "evidence" you have presented has been shown to be laughably inadequate. Each time this has been done, you have simply ignored it and carried on with your obviously flawed claims.
Let me put the same point to you: given the evidence that has been presented, why have you not been convinced that so many of your claims were mistaken? |

It's amazing how easy it is to fool people who think they're too clever to be fooled. Every shyster, con-man and prophet knows that the best way to lead the rubes around by the nose is to tell them how smart they are for believing what they're told. You can make a handsome profit selling crap sandwiches as long as you label them "FOR SMART PEOPLE ONLY".

I’m just shooting the **** here. I haven’t presented a fraction of the evidence that I’ve seen after years of digging down the rabbit hole, and I’m not going to. I should probably have rephrased the question: what and how much evidence would be required for you to become even remotely suspicious? Unlike you, I am willing to admit the possibility that I’m mistaken, however, like I said, I have seen too much circumstantial evidence that something is going on, and where there is an inordinate amount of smoke, there is usually fire.

Didn't you know that everyone has to do their own research, preferably on YouTube? The all-powerful cabal of Satanic elites hasn't noticed the internet yet, so that's the only way to find out the truth. /s
Tippit has apparently done all the necessary investigation, but he won't show it to us. That's almost as good as a dog eating your homework. |

Given the quality of the "evidence" you have presented so far, that refusal to provide more comes as something of a relief.
However, that's not the point. The point was that what you have presented so far has been fairly conclusively shown to be false- and you have not acknowledged that. Something that was actually true. Firstly, you paint me as someone unwilling to change their mind. This is not only not based on any evidence from this thread, it is also untrue, as a better reading of my posting history would show. Had you bothered to check, that is. Secondly, you yourself have displayed no willingness at all to change your mind. Let me refresh your memory: Several instances where your claims were comprehensively shot down. I have noticed no change of stance from you at all. Do you now accept that these claims of yours were in error? And so we go back to the same, weary old conspiratorial pareidolia. You fill your head with unsupported rumours, then, rather than admit that it's all bilge, you continue to assert that, because the uniformed and the unscrupulous are saying things, those things must be true. The 'fire' is not actual, real-life satanic paedophile cults, against which Trump is valiantly struggling. The fire is internet trolls, whose output you seem to uncritically accept. Westminster, Hampstead and all the rest- lies. Pure and simple. And the people who told those lies are really, really nasty. To repeat, and not for the first time: if you have any solid evidence of the veracity of the QAnon claims, or similar, then I will obviously accept it, and join in the ensuing chorus of disapproval. All you need to do is the same: go with the evidence, not with your pre-determined ideology. |

He says it because he is self-consciously projecting. He will refuse any evidence that positively proves his claims wrong and assumes as a result that's just how everyone operates.
For example, the bones found at the Teutonic College. When introducing the topic, his wording suggested he was unaware that a forensic test had been completed on the bones - which to be fair is understandable, as the results came out only and a half month ago and were not exceptionally widely-reported, outside of Catholic news media. They were certainly not reported in conspiracy-theory media. Nevertheless, a team of forensic experts concluded that the bones were over 100 years old. Being made aware of this now, Tippit's instinct will be to reject the findings of the forensic team and insinuate without evidence that they were faked, altered, or influenced by the Evil Cabal somehow and therefore can be disregarded. This is the very thing he accuses everyone else here of doing. |

Satanic, cannibalistic rituals on Jersey and teens being sent to Mars to be used as sex slaves. Must qualify as one of the stranger threads I've read.

If you had ever been involved in actual investigation of abuse, you would know that the ideas you are posting are nonsense.
Because I have and I know for a fact the ideas you are posting here are, in fact, nonsense. And before you demand that I provide detail, if you had ever been involved in actual investigation of abuse, you would know exactly why I cannot reveal any details of any case I have been involved in investigating, or even any case of which details I am aware. Obviously. |

An actual basement as claimed by the CT folks.
It's called art. Ever heard of it? False, unless you have evidence. False unless you have evidence. People have strange hobbies. So what? Right. Oddball has odd hobby. So what? Besides, you have provided no evidence for a single bit of it. You merely believe it because YOUTUBE told you so. Evidence or it never happened. Any composer could have done any soundtrack. So what? And none of it has evidence at all. Why should it. The whole thing is baloney. Want me to answer that honestly? Perhaps not. So what is your experience of real child abuse? 0, that's how much. |

I looked and see no evidence that "Heavy Breathing" is the Comet Ping Pong house band or that it even has a house band.
ETA: They haven't been booked at Comet Ping Pong this year. The website has all the booked live shows, including the Covid 19 cancelled shows. |

Of course not. Because the entire "pizzagate" malarkey is fantasy from start to finish. What did you expect?
The real deal is scary. Why do you think those of us manning the phones have a backup team of counsellors just for us? It can be horrific. I have to take care because of minors/confidentiality considerations, but I can tell you that there are two main groups of perps. 1. Family members (by far the largest group of perps) 2. Religious pastors/priests/etc Wanna know what I have never found? A worldwide imaginary satanic child eating pedo-ring. Nor have any of my colleagues. Nor has anyone. Nobody. We are aware of the occasional isolated local group. That happens but is rather rare. And as odd as ****. That is really freaky. Cannibal satanist cabals? Nope. |

You have only presented two bits of evidence, both of which have been thoroughly debunked by simple research by skeptics on a skeptic forum. However, most damning is that your "Ninth Circle Satanic Child Sacrifice Cult network" story from the "International Common Law Court of Justice (ICLCJ)" which is a totally fabricated story from one bloke that was debunked by Snopes years ago.
This suggests you simply copy bogus stories here from bogus websites. That is why you refuse to provide any evidence. You already know your little stories are rubbish. |

Tippit could have introduced evidence of any of his claims. He chose to decline. So I choose to not believe a word of it unless and until Tippit even starts handing up the evidence. Then I might start to assess it.
But bear in mind that I have experience in this field. So I will be carefully watching, and if it does not measure up, I will not be a happy poster. We already have the daft "pizzagate" festival of no evidence of anything. Imagine my current feelings on the matter at hand. I am not kindly disposed to those who use victims as tools for an ideology. Ever. |

I would think that his "evidence" is fabricated or from people reworking fictional stories from history.
My father was a psychiatrist and commissioner of corrective services in NSW, Australia. Family sunday lunches were spent talking about serial killers. Perhaps the most famous early movie about a child serial killer would be Fritz Lang's "M" (1931) and where we first get the actor Peter Lorre. |

Get you BS stories right. This was originally a Q-Anon claim that ..........
"Two of Alefantis's Instagram friends have made a living making coffins. One even founded a coffin company and a "burial association"." https://steemit.com/pizzagate/@gizmo...ames-alefantis You added "children" , added "spare time" and forgot to mention this was meant to be on Instagram. Show us the original Instagram page or run away from providing evidence again. |

Very much this!
That covers all the sexual abuse of children I encountered in 30-odd years of working in CAMHS, what I knew from social workers and child protection police units and everyone else I ever met who was involved in child protection and safeguarding... But, as I and others have pointed out a few times now, none of the Q-Tips and Trumpkins seem remotely interested in that.... |
