Unravelling the Mystery Behind Pizzagate: Oh, Epstein Again

In the wake of the turmoil caused by the recent Epstein Files release of over three million documents, a little-known, previously debunked, and, quite frankly, outlandishly absurd "conspiracy theory" has once again found itself entering the public domain. That, of course, being Pizzagate.

But what if I told you that it actually wasn't any of those things? What if I told you that what started out as an entirely unbelievable, perhaps niche and tinfoil-hatted conspiracy theory has now, in large part due to the US Department of Justice's (DOJ) recent Epstein Files release, never looked so inescapably real.

So, I'm sure you're left wondering: What exactly is Pizzagate?

Pizzagate is a conspiracy theory that found its fame, or more fittingly, notoriety in the run-up to the 2016 Presidential Election in the US. If you can remember, this was the election of all elections stateside, due to, of course, Obama not being able to run again and thus the Democrats having to find a new nominee.

They did just that in Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton's wife and former Secretary of State to Obama during his first term. By March, the whole party had rallied behind her, and her only other obstacle in sight was securing the actual nomination. Until it actually wasn't the only other obstacle in sight…

On March 19, 2016, only a few months before the Democratic National Convention, Hillary's campaign manager, John Podesta, received an email that tricked him into giving up the password to his email account. The phishing attempt wound up giving hackers complete, unrestricted access to all 20,000 of Podesta's personal campaign emails.

This was where the whole Pizzagate theory really started: many of the emails that leaked showed extremely strange language between Hilary and her staff, and vice versa. For example, one email read:

Huh… strange wording. I mean, people don't typically refer to eating something as quite literally being on something. Another email, this time from WikiLeaks, read:

Again, very strange. Sure is a whole lot of pizza, $65,000 worth. We'll conclude with perhaps the most egregious example where Tony Podesta, John Podesta's brother, wrote:

It's wordplay like this that led to the original theory in the first place. If we're talking about planning lunch, nobody would describe such a thing the way Podesta does here, especially specifying "for about an hour".

The leaks also mentioned a DC-based pizzeria, namely Comet Ping Pong; this specific pizzeria was named around a dozen times in Podesta's emails, not counting the separate WikiLeaks files. In 2016, many looked into the running of this pizzeria and found strange, often-illicit posts on their Instagram, depicting young children duct-taped to restaurant tables. What was also discovered was that the owner of said pizzeria was a heavily connected DC insider, and also the then-boyfriend (yes, he's gay) to David Brock, the owner of Media Matters, a left-wing 501(c)(3), also with strong access to the White House and the Democrats more specifically. The very same nonprofit, by the way, that later suppressed this story and its subsequent reporting.

In early December of 2016, Comet Ping Pong was shot at from the inside by Edgar Maddison, a 28-year-old man totally fixated on the whole Pizzagate story. Deciding to take matters into his own hands, he ran into the restaurant and evacuated the place by threatening the customers' lives; once everyone was gone, he started rummaging through the place, conveniently shooting through one of the hard drives in the back room.

What followed was a big, glossy photoshoot of the gunman being arrested. Through the chaos of the arrest, though, he was conveniently heard shouting that he was so convinced all of this was so real, and that it was just not — that is, however, after “inspecting the place,” shooting through the hard drive that contained CCTV and other potentially incriminating footage, and finding a basement yet not going down there to have a look. Convenient shooter, convenient sound bite… all very convenient. Convenience is king, I guess.

Maddison allegedly faced jail time for this and was let out in 2020. I only bring this up because, as of early January this year, Maddison was shot dead by North Carolina officials during a traffic stop with suspicion that he was somehow some sort of fugitive. Other than the fact that dead men tell no tales, the timing, again, seems quite convenient, doesn't it? A potential crisis actor to the potential false flag operation getting shot dead just weeks before the biggest Epstein Files release yet… I don't know, I'm just asking questions.

What I do know, however, is that the Clinton staff and Democrats didn't seem to be the only ones using strange wording when discussing pizza…

As a result of the over three million documents released by the DOJ two weeks ago, again, many found, strange, overt references to pizza by Epstein and his close confidants. I mean for one there are around a thousand references to pizza in the latest release.

One, however, seemed to stand out the most. This was where Epstein was messaging his physician and close friend, Harry Fish, in the spring of 2018. He was specifically enquiring due to urological concerns (i.e. erectile dysfunction) that Epstein had started to face in old age. Harry Fisch, now a pharma executive, was going back and forth with Epstein over text about treating his concerns and what would be the right drug to use. Upon the decision of the correct drug, Fisch wrote this:

Again, pizza — but pizza and grape soda? I don't think I've ever heard of that pairing, it's a strange pairing, for sure. To sum it up, though, Dr Fisch is essentially telling Epstein once you have used your erectile dysfunction drug — once you are sexually potent again — "wash your hands and let's go get pizza and grape soda." I personally don't think further elaboration is required, to be honest.

What's more, though, is that another file includes an email showing Epstein saying to another close confidant:

“No one else can understand”, sure seems legit, that I can tell you. All jokes aside, though, this email also included a redacted attachment, likely an image. The DOJ has said that all victims in the files will either be redacted outright or at least blurred.

If, from all of this, you still aren't convinced of at least the argument of wrongdoing, and the potentiality that “pizza” was used as a synonym for something much darker, I don't really know what else to say — perhaps you just don't understand, as Epstein would say.

What I will say, though, is that if all of this is true, and perhaps it's not — who knows, other than Allah ﷻ — what can we actually do about it? Not much, really. We can speak on it, we can write about it… we can research it, but even the most influential among us, those with money, power, and influence — what difference have they made? What effect have they had? Seriously.

Polymarket, a company backed by friend of Epstein Peter Thiel, by the way, was initially predicting that the likelihood of justice being served and Epstein-related confidants being imprisoned was at record highs just a couple of weeks ago. Now, though… It's not even at 20%.

The unfortunate reality here is that nothing will, and was ever going to, happen. Epstein and the country(ies) he worked for have kompromat on almost every single famous and powerful individual on the planet. Justice will never be served here on Earth, but, rest assured, justice will come and when it does, it will be so much worse than what we measly humans could have done. After all, Epstein feared the Devil, but did he ever fear God?

Jazak Allah khair for your time and attention throughout!

Faithfully, STN.
