> I wouldn’t be surprised if NMEC had a hand in starting Pizzagate tbqh. I have no proof and I don’t think that they did. But if it broke the news tomorrow I would be like, “Nah that’s totally believable.” If I’m not mistaken it was this kind of speculation that actually precipitated a bunch of people thinking a random pizza joint was involved in sex trafficking and ultimately led to someone opening fire with actual guns. Maybe we could do with less unfounded speculation. |

However if they were to do something outlandish and insane like that, it would not be surprising. NCMEC is drunk on their own power and status. They are on a holy crusade and even constitutional rights mean absolutely nothing to them in their quest. The people at the top are crusaders on a holy war and there are no means that they would not use to these ends.
There are many people in the trenches who are fighting a good fight. They deserve our respect and empathy. However the people at the top…see above. NCMEC needs to be reined in, but of course the second anyone in Congress even looks at them sideways you get a screeching voice of the minority going on about the children and then you’re in the news as a child predator.
In a way, they are responsible for shaping the discourse such that democrats got knocked on as “for” CSAM which is what led to Pizzagate taking hold. But I don’t believe for a second they intentionally, directly created it. But it’s not a big stretch from where they are now.
