So much proof!

Is there any good list of absolutely specific predictions by Q that blatantly haven't come true? Like all the people who are supposed to be indicted or sent to Gitmo so far? They're really hanging their hats on "30,000 sealed indictments!" which doesn't seem to be going anywhere fast.

�secret meetings at China�s forbidden city�

Do they mean the Forbidden City, the tourist site from the Qing Dynasty, or do they think China has a secret metropolis?

No. Don�t tell me. It�s something dumber I�m not thinking of.

Also probably really racist.

Fine I'll go look

The Maestro�s tweet about Stormy is another jewel. After going through all the graphic implications a fertile imagination may gather from Trump�s tweet, it is fun to notice how the Fake News media hyped up this Stormy Daniels story hoping to weaken Trump and how they had to quietly come back from another empty hunt. Let�s enjoy the Trump Effect in all its splendor: Img1PNG

Then, you have 3 strange things: first, Trump writes Danials instead of Daniels. Then, 14 mn later, he launches a tweet storm about Glenn Simpson pleading the fifth, Bruce Ohr still working at the DOJ, his beautiful wife Nelly used as a pawn and asks the fatidic question about Sessions location. Then, just for fun, he writes Glen instead of Glenn. Img2PNG

Can you solve this? Do you see the connection between horseface, misspelled Danials and Glen, Bruce Ohr and the House hearings?

The reason why the Maestro drops one N in Glenn is because he wants you to realize that this tweet is connected to the tweet about Stormy. Why? Because N=14 and the time difference between these 2 tweets is none other than 14 mn. Pretty cool right?

Now let�s go back to �Horseface� and analyze why the Maestro traded an E for an A in Daniels. The first clue comes from answering the question: why did Trump strangely put the tweet about Glenn Simpson and the one about manufacturing jobs in the same thread? The answer is because he wants us to focus on the number 8 which appears as 8X in the manufacturing tweet, and also in the timestamp difference with the next tweet (+8 mn) and, of course as the capitalized initial of Horseface, H=8. This insistence on the number 8 is a clue. Now do you remember what I told you about the alphabet wheelPNG? If you turn it by 26 increments, all the letters remain the same, there is no shift for any given letter and this is true for any multiple of 26. Think of it as a clock, if you turn the handles by 12 increments or multiples of 12, it�s like they did not move. So? If you turn the alphabet wheel by 60 increments, it would be like you turned it into 8 increments, because 60=(2X26)+8. Those who are familiar with congruent numbers in arithmetic or the mod function in Excel know this very well. So this number 8 the Maestro is insisting on also means 60. Next step? What is the connection between Stormy and 60? Yes: her appearance on 60 minutes. And the most prominent thing that people noticed during this interview was her dilated pupils causing everybody to wonder if she was high: Img3PNG

Let�s recap: Horseface, drugs. Type �horse drugs� in Google, first page, you get this article and learn that another name for heroin is horse. Bingo! Now you know what the Maestro really means and why he added �face� to �horse�. The 60 minute incident is just a confirmation of what Stormy is really into�

Folks, I want you to stop for a minute and appreciate the beauty of all this. Do you see how these tweets are written to lead you to what is really being said? From Horseface, we deduced heroin and the path was through 60 Minutes!

But there is more. And this is where it gets really amazing. Now that we have made a connection between Stormy and heroin, let�s type �stormy daniels heroin� in Google to see if there is some open source material about this. I found a surprising connection: the word �heroin� takes an E along the way, becomes �heroine� and appears in an interesting article, that I will tell you to read in due course, dated Aug 28 2018, the very day Bruce Ohr is facing a grilling by Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill link and entitled Stormy Daniels on becoming unlikely heroine of �The Resistance�. Coincidence? The Resistance? Does this ring a bell? Do you remember Q1557 and Q1559? Look: Img4PNG. As you can see, the IG report uncovered the existence of the anti-Trump �Viva Le Resistance� network at the DOJ and its presence in the Mueller probe. Q1559 confirms Lisa Page was part of the network and that James Comey was involved or at least aware. Do you see this DECLAS in Q1559? This is the nuclear bomb. In Q1557, Devin Nunes asks the right question: �can anyone tell me who the DOJ lawyer is that speaks French via text in the IG report?�. What is Nunes hinting at? The answer is in the third line in Q1559: Viv[a] vs Viv[e]. Q puts the A and the E in brackets to show that �Viva Le Resistance� is in fact not correct and the right French spelling is �Vive La Resistance�. The A was traded for the E. And yes� now you know why the Maestro wrote Stormy Danials in his tweet instead of Daniels and did not correct it�

Now you are equipped to read the Aug 28 2018 Stormy NY Post article) I put on hold earlier and understand why it was released the very same day Bruce Ohr appeared before Congress. This article was in fact published to threaten Ohr, tell him to shut up and pick the right side. Look and read very carefully: Img5PNG. Notice the threats and how the article subtly outlines the Stormy and campaign finance violations angles of attack while relativizing the Russia probe. Also notice Rebecca Roiphe�s initials: was it Rosenstein saying there was an ongoing investigation on the Trump campaign�s finances or is it just a coincidence?

So far, Horseface and drugs brought in Bruce Ohr and Viva Le Resistance through heroin. Let�s go further? Are you familiar with Ketamine? It�s a drug often used on horses. As you can see, we are still in Stormy�s territory� Here is an example: videoYouTube. A short for Ketamine is Keta link. Do you see it? Stormy Danials and Q1559 Viv[a] vs Viv[e]? If you trade the A with the E, KETA becomes KATE. And who is Kate? Img6PNG You got it! Peter Stzrok is pulled in with his famous soda�

Everybody is here. Playing with A and E, the Maestro�s Stormy tweet has sucked in the whole Viva Le Resistance network along with James Comey, Bruce Ohr, his beautiful wife Nelly, Lisa Page, her lover Peter, and Glenn Simpson.

Now what is this Viva Le resistance network about? And why did they invert the letters A and E? Bad French or secret code? Trump tweeting Danials instead of Daniels is a hint there is something going on. Look how Q also insists in several drops on this inversion/substitution: Img7PNG

Is it a coincidence A and E are respectively the first and the last letter of �ASSASSINATE�? How about the value of VIVA LE RESISTANCE being 184, which is also the value for UNLAWFUL KILLING? Was this network conspiring to assassinate POTUS or is all this just a coincidence? Q gave us the answer. Right here:

Q586 What would happen if texts originating from a FBI agent to several [internals] discussed the assassination (possibility) of the POTUS or member of his family? What if the texts suggest foreign allies were involved?

Wow. I�m sure many forgot about this drop� When Q posted it on January 22 2018 at 22:47, he posted this 3 mn later:

Q587 PRAY. PREY. Notice the similarity? Q

He gave us right there, with this play on A and E, the clue that these texts discussing the possibility of assassinating POTUS or members of his family were being exchanged within the Viva Le Resistance network hidden in the DOJ. When Q made this EXPLOSIVE revelation, the black hats immediately went nuts and Q, because he monitors their comms, posted this, 15 mn later:

Q588 Chatter just SPIKED. Q

1 mn later, the site was under attack:

Q589 Site being attacked. Q

And after additional security measures were taken, Q gave us the magnitude of what he had just revealed to us at 23:26:

Q592 Archive. Last post triggered sniffer. Eyes on. Q

I believe these epic 39 minutes will be later discussed in history books. Do you realize the implications of this drop? Foreign allies conspiring with a network hidden within the US DOJ to assassinate POTUS and members of his family?! Let that sink in.

Now, the natural question would be: is this network neutralized? The answer is in the first 30 seconds of Trump�s speech after he is introduced by VP Pence at the Signing Ceremony for H.R. 5515. Listen from 5:30 to 6:12 videoYouTube. Did you catch it? A relaxed Trump gives the common military command �At Ease� to his audience. Initials for At Ease? A and E. Coincidence? No. Trump is letting you know he is now At Ease. Why? Because this event occurred on Monday Aug 13 2018 and it was his first major official appearance after Strzok was fired on Friday link. After Comey, McCabe, Baker, Priestap, Page and others were neutralized, the firing of Peter Strzok was the final nail in the coffin for the Viva Le Resistance network.

Now that you know what was really at stake and that even foreign governments were directly involved, take a moment to walk through the DOJ cemetery in Q2381. You will soon realize the amount of work and skills that were required to achieve this dismantlement so silently and smoothly that even the most faithful Q follower probably did not see it�

You mean Einsatzgruppen?

"Einsengruppen" would be something like "one(somehow plural) groups".

"Einsatz" means something like "use" or "deployment".

Also in retrospect they dropped the ball hard (in addition to other loving ways like say being nazis) that there wasn't an Eiserngruppen, an "Iron Group". That sounds way more bad rear end. The fuckers who put skulls on their uniforms didn't come up with that? Pfffft.

Like even beginning to come up with a study to test this seems almost impossible. I guess a longitudinal study where we...somehow...separate the groups between pot and I don�t know alcohol and nothing or whatever and...hope to somehow control for everything. And then let it run for 15 years. Anything else and there�d be so much (possible) noise in the data.

Crunch Buttsteak posted:

The American public has a pretty inaccurate view on pedophilia, and Qanon especially. And you can't really blame them, it's deeply unpleasant to think about.

Your average American thinks that "a pedophile" is an outside threat, someone who is easily identifiable and avoidable. They're the people offering candy in a white van, or people leering over park fences during playtime. While those people certainly exist, people don't like confronting the fact that most molestation is done by someone the child knows and trusts, which oftentimes means it's someone who the parents know and trust.

Qanon goes a step further in this, saying that pedophilia is an institution. Not only are pedophiles easily identifiable as such, but they're all in it together. If you catch one pedophile, they'll be able to point out other pedophiles, and then those pedophiles will give up other pedophiles, and pretty sure they'll lead investigators all the way up the ladder to Satanic Dragon Hillary Clinton. Then pedophilia will be eradicated and we'll live in the new Golden Age!

I read a tweet somewhere saying that the Venn Diagram between Qanon people and people who wouldn't believe their kid telling them that a relative was molesting them is a circle, and I'd largely agree. Even if they're well-meaning, their "research" gives them an incredibly warped view on how things like this actually work.

I'd change the specific phrasing to "subset" but I agree in principle.

But she has not amassed all these different rumors swirling around her by being a good person. I'm strongly leaning towards her being power-hungry at all costs. It is somewhat funny watching her squirm and blame everyone else but herself for her own failures. Do you think such a person has anything resembling integrity?

Millions of mole children used as sex slaves and harvested for their adrenochome (A thing only referenced in passing in a few fiction books which got it from some sketchy 1950s research papers that were long ago discarded as being non-sense) living in underground caves right under everyone's noses is a pretty good one. I mean, where does the supply of children come from? Also, people would probably notice the thousands of trucks and trains needed to bring food in and remove garbage daily. Are they living in pitch darkness in there or tapping the power grid? Candles? What about materials for support or equipment to pump out water? Not to mention that this whole thing is managed in perfect secrecy. Or that it's so abhorrent it makes your skin crawl but theres been like one mentally unstable guy with the balls to get a gun and go check it out which implies that the Qanon's don't really believe it either.

If you were an internet conspiracy of 10's or 100's of thousands of 'weaponized autists' that can slueth out hidden meanings from the barest of references and were true believers wouldn't you put some effort forward to actually finding and helping these children?

The thing about Q is that it's got something for everyone. Anyone can find a conspiracy they like or wish to ridicule inside it's wide beliefs.

You have now thought about this more than any Q-nut.

It is, however, an active doomsday cult and should be treated with similar caution because the runway for its end times event is getting very short indeed.

Also this.

God help me, I went through that entire, long, meandering, conspiracy theory-laden post that Bucky - who refuses to shut up and just has to constantly tell us how right they are - posted above. So, who's the guy who is responsible for the whole thing?

Uhh...so it's a confluence of a lot of factors including people promoting bullshit for propaganda purposes and societal factors and media literacy issues with the public and amplified by ne'er-do-wells for political purposes? WHAT AMAZINGLY NEW INSIGHTS BUCKY. Jesus loving christ.

Say "people like [list]" instead of actually accusing someone one more god drat time why don't you.

I'm rewatching the Folding Ideas video and I can't get over the wacko at around 20 minutes in who doesn't believe in trees.

I'm on the porch right now and can see like 50 god drat trees. It just cracks me up so hard. What the gently caress is wrong with you that you start thinking trees are a conspiracy?
