He said that cnn had “disassociated” itself from the story in December and had taken down the majority of broadcasts and videos that mentioned it. Mr. Jones also said that two reporters the show had worked with “are no longer with us,” although he did not identify them or discuss the exact nature of their work with cnn. “To my knowledge today, neither Mr. Alefantis, nor his restaurant Comet Ping Pong, were involved in any human trafficking, as was part of the theories about Pizzagate that were being written about in many media outlets and which we commented upon,” Mr. Jones said. “We apologize to the extent our commentaries could be construed as negative statements about Mr. Alefantis or Comet Ping Pong, and we hope that anyone else involved in commenting on Pizzagate will do the same thing.” --- End quote --- Humble Water Filter Merchant publicly apologized for helping to spread the debunked 'Pizzagate' conspiracy theory. To see him back away from a position--especially after his claims over 9/11 and Gritty Grapnel--is genuinely incredible. |

Good to see he has at least the tiniest bit of humility about all the stuff he's uselessly stirred. |

Looks like you need to apologize for trying to deliberately mislead us. Humble Water Filter Merchant is only apologizing for incriminating Comet Ping Pong. He still believes there is a cabal of child enthusiasts in the government and numerous secret societies. These aren't theories, this has already been declassified. |

Honestly didn't think him capable of remorse, but I suppose I was dead wrong. Glad to hear that he is to an extent intellectually and/or morally honest. |
