The claim about former President Barack Obama has roots in
Nude selfies mom a debunked QAnon-esque conspiracy theory spawned
during Hillary Clinton's second presidential campaign. It
alleges that Clinton ran a child sex trafficking
ring in the basement of Comet Ping Pong, a Washington, D.C.,
restaurant. In late 2016, a gunman fired into the restaurant
after becoming convinced the theory was true,

The claim surfaced on Facebook in an Aug. 8 Overviewreviewsphotosabout
to user Amiri King's account. The post features a black-and-white
image of a man holding a sign that reads, "Obama spent 65K on pizza
and hot dogs!?"
The man in the picture is not identified, and he is wearing a
mask.
"Well, assuming that ‘we are using the SAME channels,’" King, a
YouTuber, wrote in the caption.
He is referencing a statement from an email chain
between employees at Texas-based geopolitical intelligence
company Stratfor. The chain was released by WikiLeaks in 2012.
“I think Obama spent about $65,000 of the tax-payers money
flying in pizza/dogs from Chicago for a private party at the White
House not long ago, assume we are using the same channels?”
Stratfor employee Fred Burton wrote in an email posted to
WikiLeaks' Clk healing hands.
Users responding to King's Facebook post understood his
meaning.
"Pizza" and "hotdogs" are "pedo (pedophilia)" codes, user
Kathleen Theresa replied. Theresa also posted
additional "pedo" code words. Among them, "hotdog = boy"
and "pizza = girl."
"Rumor has it that hot dogs are pedo code for young boys and if
you haven't heard about DC's pedo pizza parlor you're spending too
much time hiding under a rock so, there's that," another user,
Laura Benton, wrote.
King did not respond to a request for comment from USA
TODAY.

The source of the claim is a chain of emails dated May 14, 2009,
and titled "RE: Get ready for "Chicago Hot Dog Friday."
The chain includes Burton's statement about the Obama
administration spending taxpayer money on pizza and hot dogs, as
well as RSVPs to "Hot Dog Friday," but there is no proof that such
a sum was spent on party food nor any reference to a specific party
at the White House.
Burton may have alluded to a Super Bowl party held at The
White House a few months earlier on Feb. 2, 2009. Pizza and hot
dogs, along with chicken sandwiches, chips and salsa, pretzels
and ice cream were served at the event, Pokemon cards set symbols.
However, only 75 people attended, belying a sum of
$65,000.
As a matter of corporate policy, Stratfor personnel "do not
address the nature of the stolen Stratfor emails and other
documents posted on Wikileaks, either to confirm or deny their
validity," according to public relations director Emily
Donahue.
Donahue also told USA TODAY the fallout from the leaked emails
was so severe, the company completely changed its business
model.
"Stratfor is now part of Body pillow anime png(Risk Assistance
Network + Exchange), a risk intelligence company. As a RANE
company, Stratfor now serves clients with risk assessment and
planning to avert breaches," she said.

InfoWars' Jamie White mentioned the Stratfor email chain in
an Imagenes de mujer virtuosaresponding to criticism aimed at
President Donald Trump after he served fast food to college
football players during a reception at The White House in
January 2019.
"The corporate media completely ignored WikiLeaks’
bombshell Global Intelligence Files release exposing
government waste and corruption, but they have time
to fact-check every aspect of Trump’s fast food feast,
including the true height of the pile of burgers," White wrote.
Trump hosted the Clemson Tigers in commemoration of their
college football national championship title, Pueraria mirifica for men.
Burgers from Wendy's, McDonald's, Burger King and other fast food
were served. Then-White House press secretary Sarah
Sanders said Trump paid for the simple fare himself to
cater the event because the partial government shutdown had put
residence staff on furlough.
