    So, apparently this is a thing. It's based off of the Wikileak emails from Podesta, and the allegation is that he's part of some kind of pedophilia ring, with the "-gate" name deriving from an alleged code for pedophilia. Looking at the emails it's used in, there are instances where "pizza" is obviously being substituted for something else. Haven't really seen anything from anybody reputable, though, so this could all just be tin-foil-hattery. :shrug:

    I can't help but remember back to that threat/promise to reveal a Hollywood A-lister as a pedophile a while ago.

    What if pizza refers to cocaine or something?

    Is making fun of fat people the newest part of liberal tolerance?

    I suspect this is the kind of thing I don't want to try googling.

    Really makes you wonder how the Breitbarters and Pepe the Frog people spend their spare time, though... :?:

    Let's see the e-mails. I'm guessing they are about... pizza, whether or not that can also be code for something else. I mean seriously, if every person using the word is a pedophile, well, then we all are.

    All I know is that anyone who uses the word "'za" instead of saying "pizza" is a giant douchebag who deserves to be crammed into a pizza oven and set aflame. :bergman:

    Unfortunately it's illegal for you to see the Wikileaks e-mails. Only people at CNN are allowed to see them. :sigh:

    I tried googling it, but honestly most of what came up were "new world order" type stuff. Here's one of the emails I can remember being referenced and seems to fit with the idea that this is some kind of code. I remember this on in particular because I saw it suggested that the handkerchief referenced in this email was in reference to handkerchief code (that's a thing, apparently), and that the reference to being "pizza-related" was somehow code for pedophilia. The only reason I've seen given for this, though, is that it's in relation to some pizza place that is a popular place to bring kids, kind of like Chuck-E-Cheese. :shrug:

    It's definitely code for something.

    Why would they be using any kind of code?

    I mean, if Podesta thought his emails were going to be read, I imagine there are a whole fuckton of things he would have done differently. Which leads to the obvious conclusion that he didn't expect them to be read. Hence, no need for any codes.

    It's still very entertaining that the Breitbart kiddies are so well-versed in Secret Pedophile Lingo, though. :chris:

    Not necessarily, but if he used code in one email because he thought somebody was looking at his stuff, don't you think he would have refrained from putting lots of embarrassing things in his other emails for the same reason?

    From the link, it didn't seem like they were just talking about pizza.

    This just in: Podesta is an idiot. He clicked on the link to a phishing site. Even after Wikileaks published his passwords for the whole world to see, Podesta did not change his passwords. So he got hacked some more.

    Seventeen posts and no one has called him "Pedosta" (or "Paedosta" for the Brits)?

    Wordforge really is slipping. :no:

    The truth of course is that Podesta is an amature chef of Italian descent, and is known to have a wood-fired pizza oven at his home, and to give pasta dishes as gifts to friends (including some with walnut sauce, yes, people really do eat walnut sauce on pasta).
    Pizza/pasta is kind of his thing, so it's not even too implausible that he would have a handkerchief with a pizza-related map on it, though I admit that one sounds a bit odd.

    The other stuff involving Spirit Cooking, ping pong halls with secret murder rooms, disaster relief charities as a front for abducting children, the infamous disappearance of a British girl purportedly abducted in Portugal by the Podesta brothers personally… it's a lot of dots that don't need to be connected. And of course Hillary and Obama are implicated in everything despite the complete lack of any evidence that would suggest their involvement. Basically a rabbit hole that leads only to insanity.

    Well, thanks, I guess. Somebody would have to be particularly imaginative, deeply paranoid, and probably desperate for anything remotely untoward to think any of that means something about pedophilia. Just like all the other wikileaks revelations, I guess.

    Are you functionally illiterate? They were talking about a scarf with a map and Pizza design on it. It was left behind at some kind of rental property on Martha's Vinyard. Did you even read the e-mail chain?

    Why would the most powerful elites in the world be e-mailing each other to figure out who lost a handkerchief with a map on it?

    Y'know, for someone normally obsessed with "innocent until proven guilty" even for obviously dirty people like Cosby, it's a bit suspicious to see Captain X so interested in finding something to suggest Podesta is a pedo... :chris:

    Funny, I didn't realize you'd bulked up so much. Next time, try not to get powdered sugar on your tie.
