Anatomy of a Conspiracy Theory

Warning: May be very disturbing

Hey guys. I know I threw a lot of stuff at you in the last Epstein episode. During my summary of the PizzaGate conspiracy theory, I described a lot of art and other images, and I thought I would show you what I was talking about so you can judge for yourself (about the art).

WARNING: Some of these images may be very disturbing to some viewers.

Here’s John Podesta. He is the founder of Center for American Progress, and served as Bill Clinton’s White House Chief of Staff, and Hillary’s 2016 campaign manager:

When John Podesta’s emails were released by WikiLeaks in 2016, some people found references to pizza and other foods which, out of context, didn’t seem to make much sense, and decided they were pedophile code talk. As far as I’ve been able to figure out, the association between pizza and pedophilia came from 4Chan years before PizzaGate happened. From what I was told by a longtime 4Chan anon, the board for a time had a problem with trolls coming in and trying to post explicit images of children. The board adopted the term Cheese Pizza in place of Child Porn to avoid creating a bunch of nasty references that might show up on search engines. He seemed pretty sure, but all I’ve got is what he told me. So the idea of pizza being code for pedophilia was apparently already out there when people started applying the code to Podesta’s emails.

About a dozen times in the Podesta emails are references to a Washington, DC pizza joint called Comet Ping Pong Pizza. The place hosts musical acts, and one band it hosted is called Sex Stains. Here is a couple images from one of Sex Stains’ two music videos:

Note the triangle-spiral symbol on the block. The bottom image is the final frame in the video, that is, it’s the image they decided to end the video with. Now, here is a declassified FBI document describing symbols commonly used by pedophiles to identify themselves to one another:

Two doors down from Comet Ping Pong Pizza was a place called Besta Pizza (no longer in business). Before the PizzaGate narrative blew up, this was Besta Pizza’s logo:

After the PizzaGate theory went public, they quickly changed their logo to this:

Also in the Podesta emails was an invitation - a personal invitation, not some mass mailer - from the performance artist Marina Abramovic to a dinner event she called Spirit Cooking. Here is Marina, along with a scene from the Spirit Cooking event:

The writing on the wall is done in pig’s blood. Here’s one with an effigy of an infant covered in pig’s blood:

And another one:

And another:

These scenes were the setting for the Spirit Cooking meal, which included drinks the diners were meant to pretend were breast milk and menstrual blood. Here are some more images from Abramovic’s dinners:

That’s Lady Gaga in the second two photos. Here’s one with Gwen Stefani:

Next, people started digging up art and artists owned and admired by John Podesta’s brother, Tony Podesta. John and Tony started the Podesta Group in 1988, and it became one of the most powerful lobbying firms in Washington, DC. The two worked together closely, using John’s insider position in the Clinton network to provide access for clients of the Podesta Group (the firm may have been almost entirely reliant on its Clinton connection, because it shut down almost immediately after Hillary failed to become President in 2016). Anyway, here is Tony Podesta, posing with one of his favorite pieces of art in his home:

The piece is called The Arch of Hysteria, and it was made by an artist named Louise Bourgeois. Although the artist’s intentioned were almost certainly unrelated, somebody dug up this photo of one of the victims of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, and noted the similarity, including the severed heads:

Here are few sketches done by the same artist. This one is called Father and Son (people noted the position of the “Son’s” penis).

In 2014, the magazine Washington Life profiled Tony Podesta’s home and art collection. In addition to a cover photo of the Bourgeois sculpture, here are a few of the photos that accompanied the article:

Here is a closer look at the painting, which is by an artist named Biljana Djurdjevic:

Here’s another picture from the article about Podesta’s house and art collection:

And here’s a closer look at these two paintings, by the same artist:

When the artist was asked about her creation process in an interview, she said:

“I read a lot, from junky novels to pure art novels, am addicted to TV who works 24 hours per day, I hardly watch but I need to have it in the room, maybe it is compilation of my thoughts that I collect through ordinary day like seeing some old man struggling with his poverty and starting to fade from the face of earth without being seen at all, or seeing an other victim of paedophilia for this and other subjects unfortunately I didn’t need any imagination.”

Here are some of her paintings from the same series as the ones Podesta owns:

In a 2004 interview, Tony Podesta listed as one of his very favorite artists a sculptor named Patricia Piccinini. Here are some of her creations:

In another interview, Tony Podesta named the British “artist” Kim Noble as one of his other very favorites. I put “artist” in quotations because Noble suffers from schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder (multiple personality disorder), and creates crude drawings of extreme sexual abuse, mostly of children. Noble herself was viciously sexually assaulted repeatedly between the ages of 1- and 3-years-old, and has spent much of her life in and out of mental institutions. Here are some of the drawings of the “artist” Tony Podesta so admires:

As I said in the episode, I don’t bring these up to insist on any connections I have no evidence for, but only to raise the question of whether people many of us would not allow around our kids should have so much power in our society. To everyone who wants to go throw up now… hey, I warned you. Stay frosty.

***EDIT*** After seeing this post, a friend reached out with an observation about the art by Biljana Djurdjevic. We already know that Djurdjevic herself admitted in an interview that pedophilia has inspired some of her work. My friend’s observation was about the setting of her scenes. He was a butcher for many years, and for a long time worked in slaughterhouses. He suggested that the tiles rooms in Djurdjevic’s work reminded him of kill rooms in slaughterhouses. Here is an example:

He said these rooms are pretty much always tiled:

And then he pointed out that Djurdjevic herself was likely aware of that since one of her paintings seems to be of a group of butchers in a tiled room. I believe the title of the painting has to do with dentists, but the high boots, long thick gloves, and thick aprons indicate that they’re butchers. Also interesting are the one in the back who seems to be holding a rosary, and the one to his right with what looks like a St. George’s Cross:

Anyway, just another wrinkle. OK, I’m officially done with this subject until Ghislaine Maxwell gets iced in prison. Pleasant dreams.
