Google "On-site bbq catering Washington DC whole pig." It's rich-guy fad.
[–] PieInTheEye 1 point 3 points 4 points (+4|-1) ago
Yep, never underestimate the epic status signalling get-togethers of DC politicians and lobbyists.
Wouldn't surprise me if the handmade tortillas being flown in from Mexico were in fact actual tortillas, though I guess the use of code talk is possible. Lobbyists are addicted to flamboyant schmoozing with using outlandish pulls to reel in politicians and their families, within their sphere of influence. In Washington DC, everything is about asserting ones relevance, power, and social networking ability ... not that I would ever stand in the same room with creepy Podesta brothers; they make my skin breakout in goosebumps just thinking about it.

Yes, it's so "statusy" to see how many children you can get to a party. Those of the kind of stats that flamboyant lobbyists schmooze about in the hallowed halls. "You only got a measly 12 kids? At out suckling pig party, we got over 32 underage attendees -- most of them still in diapers!!!! Yup, I can see your point that it would be quite a coup. Especially with all the drinking going on. One thing adult lobbyists/lawmakers like is children underfoot so they can trip over them when they're guzzling beer. Status signalling at its finest!! These are the kind of debunking attempts that make everyone convinced there's something going on besides roasting a pig.

If it were summertime I'd be thinking the pig was just catered in. But the 28th of December? The whole point of a cookout is to be outside, the more open the space the better. If you cater a party in late December, why bother with the cookout theme?

http://www.homevisit.com/mobile/iPad.asp?id=38553 - pic of the garden patio here id say its just large enough. Heres a real brain teaser Brock and Alefantis bought a house in exact same area, same street at least, also 6 bed for around the same price back in 2007. Last records I can find for that property are a sale in 2009 http://archive.is/Ab3Xp
edit: Alefantis and Brock purchased 2310 California ST NW Washington, DC 20008-1637 not the same address but still only a few minutes away.
[–] LostandFound 0 points 14 points 14 points (+14|-0) ago
Been sleuthing on this for a long time ... Alefantis and Podestas all linking to the same areas, people, places.
Wouldn't it be strange to know that Alefantis was known to Tony Podesta before comet ping pong / bucks was even open?
Oh wait heres an article about Tony and Alefantis, in Tony's home at a private party hosted for Anna Gaskell way back in 2004 - a twisted photographer that sells pics of topless boys for 4.5k http://archive.is/oemQA / example photo https://sli.mg/xdrFuT.png ( NSFW! )
Whats that Anna Gaskell was implicated in the Golden Suicides ? https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1504312
Nothing to see here move along ... fake news ... russians made em do it

good find.
There is an interesting patio pic there that shows it to be just barely big enough. But with dozens of guests? And a whole pig (presumably needing a HUGE BBQ) running for, what, 6 or 10 hours for a party that begins at 3 pm, in December? To me it does not add up. That house is big enough for a fairly large party. But not really for an "annual" pig roast in December. Also remember that these kinds or real estate "glamour" pics tend to exaggerate the space sizes. The arial view show the patio to be the same size as the garage. And that is one small ass garage. European size.

I agree, theres something not right about all this.

Wtf are these people doing with our money, the archive said they watched a 24 version of Psycho? That sounds like a shitpost, not art.
[–] popezandy 0 points 9 points 9 points (+9|-0) ago
Definitely not the time of year for a pig roast, not the place to jam a bunch of people and "all the children that are available". Also, the wording on this seems anormal. Bring your kids, right? Not, bring all the children that are available. Like, bring your kids, their friends, and the ones you've got in your basement? I dunno, maybe a stretch but I appreciate this bit of groundwork
[–] VerdaOrpha ago
Just thinking out loud here, but is there anything under ground in this area? Or perhaps a large storage area nearby?
[–] Freemasonsrus 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Remember that those pics always make the areas appear larger. So I'd assume that patio area is smaller than presented. And the house is not a good layout for "bringing all the children available".
[–] Womb_Raider ago
Yeah. If anything, the hosts should be worried about over-crowding the venue. The email doesn't seem concerned at all.

Even if they did cookout on a deck, how long would a take a suckling pig (suckling=specifically a baby pig) to roast outside in the cold air? Being a cold climate dweller myself, I would assume a gas or wood, covered grill or something like that. It would take some time and lots of wood/fuel to get that internal meat temp hot enough to not make everyone sick with undercooked meat. Would not someone have called fire department for the sure fire hazard? If it were legal, permits anyone?
Perhaps the pig was roasted my some means of cooking in the house, and only eating occurred on the deck. Maybe a pizza oven, which apparently some of these people have in their homes was used or a large commercial convection oven. Good catch on those details OP, at least gets us to think. Here in the midwest, there are businesses who will roll up with a giant, custom made grill on a trailer and cook brats, roast corn, whatever for festivals and family picnics etc, but not in December unless some sort of civic or fundraising event like a winter carnival and usually for a couple of hundred/thousand people. Or a Packer game!
The photo attachment on that email ( takorean-tacos-3.jpg ) looks like it is associated with a restaurant called TaKorean in DC
[–] olive611 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
Cooking a pig in a normal oven is almost impossible. After looking around online, most ovens won't fit a pig that's over 18lbs. If there's 30+ people, there's no way it's gonna be 1 small pig for everyone. I don't think a pig would even be able to fit inside a pizza ovens opening (maybe a large restaurants, but not an in home one.) It would have to be done outside. That's if it even is pigs that they are talking about. The whole thing reeks of something more sinister.

The only pig roasts i've ever been to (4 of them), they've roasted it in a pit that was dug. Depending on the time of year i doubt anyone is digging a pit to roast a pig for 8 hours.
[–] Marthvedderette ago (edited ago)
It takes about 8-10 hours of to roast a pig, but they don't have to do it onsite. I've seen them roast the pig off site, then bring it to the party on the same grill ready to start digging in. Rich people eat the ears and the cheek meat first, so that it looks incredibly creepy, then someone usually eats an eyeball. Those parts are supposedly the most tender and delicious. I didn't notice any particular difference, other than it sure looks creepy. They usually BBQ them on 55 gallon drums cut down the middle vertically. The two halves are made into a smoker slash grill, it's usually also attached to a trailer they can drive around. http://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/281235409079-0-1/s-l1000.jpg. Has nobody in this sub ever been to Memphis? During the time this email was sent BBQ was incredibly popular. Not saying it isn't code for something, but it could very easily be nothing either.

Here is a pic and recipe of an actual suckling pig roast. It takes lots of time and space.

You guys are missing the whole thing...
They flew in Mexican infant(s), and roasted them (suckling pigs). ( like this: http://www.textfiles.com/anarchy/FDR/fdr-0180.txt )

I'm looking at the address to see if it fits anywhere significant in the pentagrams around DC - nothing obvious to my interpretation
I'm not savvy with the DC underground tunnel/infrastructure routes - maybe someone could look into that

"1) Who schedules a regular cookout in late December in cold Washington DC? (This is supposed to be the 3rd annual event). Very odd."
Weather conditions were reported to be fairly mild on December 28th 2014 in zip 20009. http://farmersalmanac.com/weather-history/search-results/
Don't let faulty assumptions discredit good, honest research. I would not consider this significant. We have better leads to go on.
[–] The_Periodic_Fable [S] 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago (edited ago)
The invite went out 23 days prior. Nobody would expect the late December weather forecast to be reliable that far in advance. Plus the patio is clearly too small to host an outdoor event for dozens of people. This obviously wasn't a real cookout and "entire suckling pig" could be code just like tortillas, or pizza, or domino's on hot dogs. It's possible that a pig was catered in somehow, but this in no way was a real cookout.
[–] thestormking 1 point 0 points 1 point (+1|-1) ago
I'm already aware of this however we're not talking about predictions, we're talking about historical records of weather conditions in zip code 20009 collected by the National Climatic Data Center posted by Farmers' Almanac. Third party sources agree. If we check the temperatures for those days we see similar results expressed in Celsius.
December 5th 2014 Weather Conditions for zip 20009
December 28th 2014 Weather Conditions for zip 20009
Weather conditions were fairly mild for December and only got more so as the month went on. That's not to say that the emails aren't suspicious or couldn't be incriminating but if you base your theories upon conjecture and bad evidence then don't expect reasonable people to believe you. Theories should be based upon facts and not the other way around. If there is something to this email then your couching evidence in a bad theory isn't going to expose it.
[–] SIMONBARROW 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago (edited ago)
I agree. It's probably code. ... Tortillas could be little Mexican girls.
