I wanted to put together a collection of what I believe to be essential reading, listening, and viewing surrounding the ongoing pedogate/pizzagate (PG) investigation. This compilation is not a complete list by any measure, just some of the best information that I have come by.

The following is meant to give greater context to the issue and much of this content can be a good way to prime newcomers to the subject.

I think many of us can relate to the notion that some of our friends and colleagues are unwilling to even consider the possibility that there could be an international pedophile ring involving prominent members of society. Often, the conversation ends even before it begins. As soon as they hear the word 'pizzagate' (an unfortunate title in my opinion) they scoff and ridicule the issue as an 'alt right' / 'nationalistic conspiracy theory dreamt up by Trump supporters. Funny enough, many of us researching the subject are none of these things.  

Quoting an acquaintance of mine:

### "Pizzagate, yeah I looked into that. All of it is nonesense made up on 4Chan about the word pizza in the wikileaks emails. It's been debunked."

The smugness with which this statement was made was striking and the implication being - don't waste my time with this / you're a fool if you believe any of this. The complete unwillingness to even discuss the topic is frustrating but not surprising. 

#### One of the reasons that people refuse to acknowledge such a possibility is that it pulls them out of their comfort zone and has real potential to shatter their world view. People want to keep their illusions and remain content in their cozy bubbles.

It has occurred to me on several occasions that those investigating PG have a deeper knowledge of the subject but are often not able to present the information in an organized and comprehensive manner. 

In my opinion, in order to convince people to even consider PG, it may be best to first introduce them to past and related investigations. If they are willing to learn about; The Franklin Scandal, the Johnny Gosh Story, the Dennis Hastert conviction or the Dutroux case it can go a long way in opening their minds to PG, or at least the possibility.

The collection below is a mixture of YouTube videos, podcasts, books and blogs of what I believe to be the most comprehensive publications on the issue of documented peodophile networks. 

Let me know if there are any resources that you'd like to share. 
I hope this collection is useful, enjoy.
