Trump sent infamous #Pizzagate conspiracy theorist #JackPosobiec to Munich with #PeteHegseth to "negotiate" the Russia / Ukraine situation.
#Pentagon 'alarmed' as #Hegseth invites '#Pizzagate' conspiracy theorist on trip: report https://www.rawstory.com/pete-hegseth-2671153995/
I’ve also seen pretty convincing arguments that that account is probably operated by Jack Posobiec, a neo-Nazi propagandist who helped spread the Pizzagate conspiracy hoax before becoming a prominent GOP media figure.
I highly recommend @michaeledisonhayden’s excellent reporting on Posobiec here: https://www.splcenter.org/resources/guides/splc-investigation-far-right-oann-anchor-jack-posobiecs-rise-tied-white-supremacist-movement/
@futurebird @krozruch I'd want to put it out as a public dataset both for CS/ML exploration but also as a resource to help document and understand the next four years (and beyond).
Consider the Some Like It Hoax paper and imagine something like a weather map that lets you know about crazy stuff (like #pizzagate) before we would generally know about it - see where crazy is finding fans and know what crazy is spreading. Sort-of an automated public internet/#memescape weather report.

I've got some pretty complicated thoughts and feelings about this, but I'll just leave it here for now without further comment:
The man who in 2016 showed up to a popular pizza restaurant with a gun, claiming there were children being trafficked in the basement, died in an officer-involved shooting on Thursday outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, according to authorities.
#Pizzagate gunman fatally shot by police outside #Charlotte #NorthCarolina.
This was the genius who showed up and fired a rifle inside the Comet Ping Pong restaurant in #WashingtonDC. He traveled there looking for the basement (which did not exist) where he believed a child prostitution ring (which did not exist) was based.

Does anyone remember #Pizzagate?
The way #stochasticTerrorism works is deranged lies are spread on #socialMedia. Then someone with #mentalHealth issues acts on the lies with #violence
In 2016 a pizza restaurant in Washington DC was raided by such an unwell person with an AR-15. Because he believed lies from anonymous #trolls, that Hillary Clinton and powerful pedophiles were keeping children in the basement there
He died this weekend
He pulled a gun on a cop

“Bannon was joined by other far-right influencers on Wednesday, including #Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Jack #Posobiec. #Trump is set to address [ #CPAC ] on Saturday.
“Welcome to the end of #democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely. We didn’t get all the way there on #Jan6, but we will endeavor to get rid of it,” Posobiec told the crowd as Bannon added, “Amen””
