Ryan Zimmerman, Pizzagate Wiki and Digital Age Exposure
Ryan Zimmerman, owner and chief editor of the Pizzagate Wiki, discusses his transition from a private investigator in Idaho to a prominent figure in the Pizzagate research community. The conversation highlights the unique window of time in the digital age where elite secrets are vulnerable to exposure despite suppression efforts on platforms like Reddit and YouTube. Zimmerman details the technical challenges and cyber attacks faced by early research wikis that led him to establish a more secure and organized information hub.

00:05 Puppet masters almost surely have clearly made me something heavy. And until you've thoroughly tested every last course, just did you know the less you really do? That's true Dr. Seuss! Without TAT, could they lie and do us just a- Without TAT, the higher side chat show or would company
00:43 Alright, Hireside Chatters. The idea of the elite abusing children is a conspiracy staple as old as time from the Catholic Church to the Franklin cover-up it's a commonly held understanding that some very uncouth actions go on behind the curtain and that the rot is so deeply entrenched and these power players are so clearly above the law that we have to do our own investigations just to form any type of understanding on the issue And in a world full of propaganda, hidden agendas and well-crafted psychological operations against the populace it's always good to be cautious but if history is any indication we also shouldn't be surprised when we do get a glimpse into the darkness only to have the mainstream quickly work to contain it pulling out all the dirty tricks they've been crafted to master for just such a situation.
01:28 Well, as we get deeper into the digital age and the old rich elite get older and more technologically out of touch it's my contention that we're in a very unique window of time where their deepest darkest secrets are more at risk than ever. And the exposure of Pizzagate is the perfect example of what can happen in this unique and unprecedented era Which brings me to today's guest, Ryan Zemmerman the owner administrator and chief editor of the Pizzagate wiki one of the premier places for detailed information into the ongoing investigation of child trafficking and abuse among the elite class. Ryan knows full well that we've heard the pizzagate 101 here on The Higher Side Chats but he's here to give us the latest updates in detail some connections that researchers have found in the latest stages of the investigation
02:11 that fill in missing pieces of the puzzle and expose the true scope of this international nightmare. Ryan, my man welcome to The Higher Side! Thank you it's an honor my man yeah it's great to have you here I really commend the work that you're doing because there is no profit in running something like The Pizzagate Wiki and a lot of risk so when just getting by on this life is hard enough to see a person running something like this on the side just because it needs to be done That's seriously respectable, man. And that's probably where we should start so let me ask you how did this unfold for you? How did you end up going from just a guy hearing about the scandal to being really on the forefront of publicizing the investigation? So yeah I'm from Idaho pretty backwater place but i have a full-time job and a family but I listen in shows like this and
03:04 Actually was starting to be a move on investigator at the time but i started running into some issues with their organization in particular where they have. A lot of secrecy and there dealings i mean it's a great organization don't get me wrong but you couldn't exactly if you did find something you had to really keep it yourself and give it to achieve editor. Which item have at my disposal and so in general i found that i cannot for any sort of investigation no matter what the subject we really had to go out and do our own thing like what are doing here with the show people are really,
03:43 Talking about it and getting the word out actually started making a bigger impact so i was on reddit frequently where credit pretty much never posted anything. And once the pizza gate stuff started breaking blue my mind i'm definitely very scientifically minded fact based person we were saying primary documentation that we had never seen in our entire Like a lot of us tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorists have never seen before in our lives really. You hear enough rumors and stuff you know? Yeah it's true! But they wrote this stuff, this was sent between people they go to these things
04:28 the facts became staggering and then once you started seeing the suppression effort it broke my heart. Basically when Reddit took down the subreddit there they took down Citizen Investigators as well a lesser known sub reddit at that time, an operation Berenstein which had a very similar concept and you saw them get totally washed away unheard of YouTube began suppressing it so almost within a few days i joined what was called the pizza gate review that was kinda differs wiki that really established on the subject. I mean i was just like a pretty small contributor there what interesting emails and information i could post but something happened there which kind of shocked me where
05:25 We started getting all kinds of weird spam and typical wiki ddos attack stuff that you would see from some like anyone can make an account there you don't have to verify email all kinds of stuff security holes everywhere so you saw it go down in the owner refused to contact any of us who were contributing at the time wasn't making sure there was backups He contacted me almost every day up until we started getting spammed. So once he stopped talking to me, I was like hey there's something wrong here how is it that everything is just getting shut down like let go? Like there's nothing here when the people writing the pages and who are certainly researching this subject know the facts lined up too many things are just out of whack here right and so I just kind of had to do my part
06:24 I've been a web developer all my life i mean certainly never ran a wiki before but i thought hey this might be my one chance to really step in and do something. Help people consider myself pretty objective i don't subscribe any political party like i'm broke as a joke hi, Kind of just live my life like everyone else, but I want to do something with it. I want to help people Yeah and I think just organizing the information that people have worked so hard to collect is an important task Like we should all be doing that
07:01 Absolutely, man. What a great little introduction there tangent sorry no no it's absolutely cool man I totally commend you for doing what you're doing and that is awesome And it does go to show that especially in the digital age one person can make a huge impact on something You know you don't need right a lot of money. You don't need a lot of influence you just build it and they'll come because the internet has for the moment seems to be fairly open as long as you're off the major controlled corporate sites. Yeah, and people who are afraid to say stuff and afraid to talk out. And especially with all the censorship and stuff just realize there is a huge community that's very similarly minded to you and is willing to talk and research these things You just got to kind of look for it sometimes It's not front page news. You're not going to go to Reddit anytime soon and find it
