'''PizzaGate''' is an often dismissed  conspiracy theory involving powerful [[Democrats]], alleged occult practices and child-sex slave trade. The theory is a developed from [[John Podesta]] emails released by [[Wikileaks]]. <ref>[https://wikileaks.org/gifiles/docs/18/18817_re-headcount-for-pizza-.html RE: headcount for pizza]</ref><ref>[https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/46736 Re: Farmers L Update and Welcome Mat]</ref><ref>[https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/23561 Re: Did you leave a handkerchief]</ref> Messages of pizza began to appear regularly in the emails and the authors of the conspiracy theory claim that it is a code word to describe child sex. The Comet Ping Pong pizza establishment in Washington DC is alleged to be at the center or the front group in an underground network that allegedly involved John Podesta and Hillary Clinton. Comet Ping Pong is owned by James Alefantis. Due to his extensive connections to the political class, this pizza store owner was named one of the 50 most powerful people in Washington, D.C. by GQ Magazine in 2012. Also, he is the former [[homosexual]] boyfriend of radical leftist [[David Brock]]. Many unsubstantiated accusations are leveled such as claims that the basement of Comet Ping Pong was the site for this illicit activity. However, Comet Ping Pong has no basement or undergound tunnel systems. Also, the direction of conspiracy tends to drag in claims that the Podesta brothers were behind the abduction of Madeleine McCann.
