I came across this weeks ago, and don't currently have access to the permits that I found, so this is more of an open dig thread. If you recall, the agent listed for Besta pizza (with the most obvious boy love symbol) was Andrew Kline, who worked extensively for Obama, as well as the state department, I believe, in a position dealing with human trafficking. He has just recently joined Perkins Coie.

If anyone can archive and post his full CV, that would be great.
Warning:Direct link to pdf permit of Buckaroos, which does not have the same agent listed as it previously did, but lists may new names.
So if anyone is interested in some digging, post here.
*It seems he quietly opened it in 2020:

So he still has the neighborhood wrapped up, and leads more credence to the idea that there are tunnels connecting these properties.
Yes, there are many similar/identical stories from the children who survived. Most have suppressed the trauma in order to survive and live a "normal" life. Many who tell their stories are labeled as mentally ill and often institutionalized, so I understand why the majority stay silent. The ones who are mentally and emotionally strong enough will not back down, refuse to be labeled as insane. Other victims dissociate during the terrible abuse and are not sure if it is really something that happened to them or something they may have seen in movie and internalized. All of the survivors are incredibly strong, no matter how they deal with the extreme abuse they were subjected to. I will say a prayer for your friend, God bless her and God bless you for listening and believing her.
