Antifastan

I have lived in both a Catholic and a Buddhist monastery.  I have experienced first-hand a communal lifestyle in which one contributes according to one's abilities and talents, and receives according to one's needs.

Those communities produced products that were sold to the world at large and the revenues were put into the community treasury for use to benefit the community.  Every member had food and clothing, a cell (personal space), medical care as needed, and time off once a week for personal pursuits.

In exchange, the individual contributed labor, ideas and vigilance to the greater good of the community.  Each individual submitted to the will of the community and took an oath to follow the rules and goals of the community.

In both cases, the communal goals were loftier than the community itself, or any individual who comprised it.  The central goal in both cases was enlightenment and the entire community was committed to providing everything the individual needed to achieve that goal.  It is a deceptively simple system, but functional as proven by the fact that monasteries have existed for thousands of years.

My monastic experience taught me that communism (little 'c') is not an inherently bad system, and it can be manifested is many different flavors that are all equally beneficial to the individual.  However, I have never been able to conceive of a means to expand a system like this beyond a small, close-knit community with a single overarching goal.

It should be noted at this point that communism and socialism are not equivalent.  Communism supports the individual's journey, while socialism is focused solely on promoting the State at the individual's expense.

When we look at Antifastan, or the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) as they like to call it, we see none of the ideals or organization that are hallmarks of a successful alternative system.  Despite the rhetoric of wanting to establish a fair and equitable alternative to the greater society, they immediately set up walls to control "immigration," established a paramilitary police force, began demanding "taxes" from the local population, and issuing edicts that are effectively fiat laws.  In other words, they immediately became what they are supposedly fighting.  Their actions belie their words, which is typical of these kinds of movements.

Essentially, Antifastan is all about power - who has it, who wields it.  There is no higher ideal or goal that transcends the community.  There is no sense of justice or an equal playing field that protects access to opportunity for the community, just aggrandizement and fame for the self-appointed leaders and click-bait for their social media scoreboards.

The united States were founded on the ideals of The Enlightenment - that all people are fundamentally of equal value and deserve a System tha protects their basic bundle of congenital rights, so that they can pursue those things most important to their individual well-being.  In this sense, the US was conceived as the purest form of communism (little 'c'), much like a monastery on a grand scale.

The US was thusly founded on the concept that the community provides the infrastructure of fairness that allows the individual to achieve some higher ideal.  The primary difference between a monastery and the US system lies in the overarching ideal.  The monastery is a group of individuals seeking a common goal, while the US was supposed to allow the individual to select and pursue their own goal.  It's a subtle but significant difference.

What we witness in Antifastan is the community being forced to support one individual's or group's goals, without respect for any other member's needs and desires.  There is no declaration of common rights, just a sense that all must contribute to the leadership's selfish desires.

As someone watching from afar, I am reminded of the novel Lord of the Flies, with a generous dash of Animal Farm for flavor.  We see a group of children using force to gain and hold perceived power at all costs, while essentially declaring "some animals are more equal than others."

I would find myself supporting something like Antifastan if I saw a mature and sincere effort to demonstrate the advantages of an alternative system.  What I see, however, is the same corruption that has destroyed the original concept of the US.

In surveying history, the primary problem I see with all governments is that no one has yet devised a self-correcting system that inherently rejects corruption.  At some point, the Seven Deadly Sins find a way to derail the cogs of governance and redirect the ideals to serve one individual's or group's purposes.  Thomas Jefferson, who thought about this problem extensively, ultimately concluded that the singular ideal must be embedded in the culture, and that the culture must 'refresh the tree of liberty from time to time with the blood of tyrants and patriots.'

Here, we reach the crux of the current situation.  The corrupting forces realize that the culture is the key to success.  They are doing everything possible to destroy and obfuscate the cultural ideal so that the urge to reform is gone, and is supplanted by the corruption itself.  In other words, it all depends on what the definition of "enlightenment" is.  If Enlightenment is defined as achieving a state of pure Love and Morality, then the culture serves to clear the path to that ideal.  If the definition of Enlightenment is to satiate the base desires of the individual, then the culture will clear the path to that ideal.  In either case, the culture is the key to success, however it is defined.

Antifastan is nothing more than an expansion of the child's "all for me" ideal.  It is the expression of the base desires for attention and power.  It is the embodiment of 'some animals being more equal than others.'

Once upon a time, Western culture held up the mature adult with balanced mind, body and spirit as the ideal.  In the last 50 years, we have seen that ideal warp and devolve into eternal childhood - the utter rejection of responsibility for one's self and the goal of elevating one's self above the inner animal.

In another time, the "leaders" of Antifastan would have had their mothers grab them by the ear and march them home, where fathers would apply judicious corporal punishment.  Now, the social institutions are glorifying this childish display, further eroding the hard-fought advances in Western philosophy.

True communism, such as we see in monasteries, seeks to combine the total effort of the community into a solid and secure foundation from which the individual can achieve higher goals without the constant distrction of daily needs.

Antifastan is the glorification of daily needs over all other concerns.  It sacrifices the individual's journey towards enlightenment on the altar of physical gratification

Is this really what we want - to be technological animals satiating our base desires at the expense of all else?  Or are we seeking to build a level foundation that removes certain key variables that stand in the way of our evolution towards the Divine?

Faery Tales For Conspiracy Theorists

Let's engage in a little wild-eyed speculation, shall we?

The following is a complete flight of fancy set out in a fictional narrative.  The names and places are completely made up and any resemblance to real persons, places or events is purely coincidental, just like all the relationships mentioned herein.

Two men named George Floyd and Derek Chauvin worked at the same club, El Nuevo Rodeo, for 17 years.  Chauvin was a police officer in the 3rd Precinct located a short distance away from the club.  Both men worked security a the club.

The former owner of the club, Maya Santamaria (an assumed name) has a Spanish name but a Jordanian passport.  She sold the club in 2019, just months before the catalytic incident.

Maya Santamaria was a socialite, with many photos of her with prominent members of society floating around the internet, and a Twitter account that was followed by a cast of local, state and national figures prominent in the Obama administration and/or the 2016 Clinton campaign.  Two of the names that have been mentioned are John Brennan and Tony Podesta.  There doesn't appear to be a compelling reason for such individuals to know of or follow a bar owner's account, unless the margaritas there were legendary.

Maya Santamaria also had the distributorship for Inca Kola, a popular product of Peru.  Peru is known by the US Secret Service for producing some of the best counterfeit dollar notes in the world.  George Floyd passed a counterfeit dollar note the day he died.

Both Jordan and Peru are also a major global hubs for human trafficking of women and children.

Inca Kola is delivered from the Port of New Orleans or Seattle to Minneapolis via Canadian National railway, which is owned by Bill Gates.

Derek Chauvin worked for the Minneapolis police for several years.  His record of questionable killings and rights violations is rather long, including an incident where he and other officers unloaded 47 shots in 15 seconds into a suspect's car.  Despite a number of cases being referred for prosecution, then-Hennepin County attorney Amy Klobuchar refused to press charges against him, almost as if he were being protected.

George Floyd, on the day of his death, went into a convenience store and made a purchase with a counterfeit $20 bill.  The store clerk called the police, not because of the funny money, but because Floyd returned to his car and sat there 'acting strangely'.  By pure coincidence, Floyd's co-worker at the El Nuevo Rodeo, one Derek Chauvin, arrived to answer the call.

Seeing that his co-worker was clearly not himself, Chauvin did not call EMT services, but rather dragged Floyed out of the car, cuffed him, then applied strong pressure to the back of Floyd's neck before someone called an ambulance.

When the ambulance arrived, video shows at least two of the men who got out appearing to be dressed in police uniforms.  There was no attempt to resuscitate Floyd at the scene.  Rather the ambulance occupants checked his pulse and immediately placed him on a gurney and drove him away.  Floyd was declared dead at the hospital.

In the riots that ensued after Floyd's death, two of the early targets of arson were the El Nuevo Rodeo club and the 3rd Precinct police station, where Chauvin was assigned.  Reports say the police abandoned the station with little resistance, and the evidence cage was ransacked before the fire.

Nearly all of the race riots in the US have occurred in cities and states dominated by members of the Democrat Party, including Minneapolis and Minnesota.  Strangely, many of those cities are served by the Canadian National railway.

It's a good thing all of this is a work of fiction, told by conspiracy theorists to their children at bedtime.  If a story like this were real, it would have profound implications for the death of George Floyd, the reason why Derek Chauvin was first on the scene and directly proximal to Floyd when he died.  It would also not look good for someone like Amy Klobuchar, a US Senator, a recent presidential candidate and currently on the short list as Joe Biden's running mate.

Furthermore, it would be very curious that so many political figures were connected to Maya Santamaria's social media and social club, and that Santamaria had connections to both Peru and Jordan, including a business relationship that involved shipping from Peru to Minneapolis via Bill Gates' railway.

It's also highly unlikely that two nations known as major hubs for human trafficking would have tangential connections to these events.

Certainly, none of this would ever happen in the real world.  That would be too strange.  It's even hard to swallow as a faery tale.

After all, crooked police never run protection rackets for crime rings, and crooked attorneys never cover for the crooked cops, and the chances that the two locations with potential evidence of crimes would never burn down in strange riots that seem to spring up out of nowhere during a global pandemic.

It all just stretches credulity to the breaking point.

As of the moment I write this, Q has posted 1,039 Drops since 26 February 2020, with a total of 4,426 since 27 October 2017.  I mention this by way of saying I have 5 or 6 abandoned articles on this topic, because things are changing and evolving so fast that it is a full-time job keeping up with it.  I invite the good reader to go to QMAP if one has the time and interest to keep up with the deluge.

The time investment is multiplied because Q has implied, and the Qvians have asserted, that the earliest Drops on 4chan (before Q was Q) are now in play.  In other words, as the Qvians put it, Q posted the end at the beginning.

There is also a significant number of Commentators on YouTube to report, parse and interpret every linguistic nuance for you if you are not into reading.  I will only recommend In Pursuit of Truth (IPOT), since creator Patrick Mack is rather level-headed and produces excellent documentaries on non-Q topics.

If you are new to the Q PsyOp, allow me to very briefly sum up the situation:

Q is ostensibly (no one has confirmed anything beyond speculation - see Q Proofs) a group of loyalist members of military intelligence, who recruited Donald Trump to run as president to aid their effort within the Executive branch to clean out corruption and insurgency within the United States federal, state and local governments, as well as destroy an international cabal that controls the power structures of governments worldwide through the use of blackmail and Satanic rituals.

For my research on the identity of the Q, I recommend the reader see Who Is Q?

The Q hierarchy looks like this:

  • God - use of religious symbolism and faith as the authority for all Q Ops;
  • Q - military intelligence/NSA using a sophisticated set of information tools and weapons to by-pass typical communication channels and control perceptions;
  • Q+ - POTUS, aka Donald Trump;
  • Autists - aka Anons, or the Apostles using my nomenclature, who "decode" Q Drops and distribute the "official" meaning and message of Q to the Qvians;
  • Qvians - my term for the Commentators, or hard-core true believers (think pastors), who spread The Gospel According to Q;
  • Qniverse - my term for the followers of Q, the parishioners if you will.
I should note for new readers that I refer to Q in the 3rd Person Singular Neuter (it), rather than the Masculine preferred by many Autists and Commentators, because I believe it to be a group of people using advanced technology to manipulate perceptions for a desired outcome.  I have over two dozen articles outlining my research and thoughts on the Q Phenomenon.

With the background now established, where do we stand with this PsyOp?

As one can imagine, Q has been quite busy framing the Corona virus pandemic (DEMpanic) and the current riots in a way favorable to Q+ (POTUS), and which casts events as being thoroughly under control of military intel.

If at the back of your mind, you are hearing Psalm 23, you are getting the hang of this.

"We are at war, the war is real" is the consistent message Q has put out in the nearly three years it has been operating.  Trump has been fighting a war of wills against an insurgent cabal of both foreign and domestic enemies.  Trump is the only person strong enough and clean (scrubbed) enough to lead this war.  He is the only True Patriot smart enough to run a 4-D chess match against the enemy as the front man for NSA-based intel officers still loyal to God and Constitution.

Q began as one of several anonymous posters on 4chan in late 2017, all claiming to be government insiders in one department or agency, or another.  The one we now call Q seems to have been the one that people latched onto as being "authentic," though I suspect any of them would have led to the same place, perhaps with small modifications to the narrative.

A legitimate question at this point, for the objective observer, is whether current events were fomented by Q's messaging, or did Q accurately predict an inevitable or predetermined outcome.  It's a "chicken or egg" argument that could each consume a full-length book.  I suspect the forces Q and POTUS are up against had several scenarios planned, and it was the words and actions of Q/POTUS that made the current situation inevitable, perhaps desirable in their view.

Q frequently posts the statement, "optics are everything."  This implies to my mind that events are allowed to progress, no matter how destructive, until the popular mind has sufficiently framed those events in a way favorable to Q/POTUS.  Once the framing is achieved, Q/POTUS can act in a way that increases favorable marketing/poll results.  Favorable results increase the spread and esteem of Q/POTUS, thus forming a perfect feedback loop, with a nice shot of dopamine to reward the Qvians.

As friend and colleague Joseph P. Farrell likes to say, he who controls the interpretation of prophesy, controls its fulfillment.  We need to keep this in mind going forward.

One of the mantras of the Qniverse is "future proves the past."  Q has frequently said that its Drops and Prophesies (a word actually used in the Qniverse) can only be interpreted in the light of future events.  Here's how Q Prophesy works:

We will focus on Drop #14, from 1 November 2017, when Q was still posting as "Anonymous" on 4chan.  Note that the post begins with a famous painting of Washington crossing the Delaware in a Durham boat.

Attorney John Durham was brought into the Department of Justice on 27 October 2017, the day Q first began posting.  This is widely interpreted as signalling the long awaited Durham Report will carry POTUS to victory.

As you read the text, notice that nearly every line is a question that is not answered.  The questions are phrased in such a way as to allow multiple correct answers.  Whenever it is expedient, Q can point to any of the questions it has posted and say that current events have proved that question to be prescient.

This technique is equivalent to a carnival side-show mentalist saying, "I'm picking up a message for Mike.  Is there a Mike in here?"  If, in the unlikely event there are no Mikes, then he can say, "Maybe Mark?  The message is a little garbled."

Q14 lists an entire cast of "bad actors" who could easily make headlines at any time in the following 3-4 years, and Q can then say that it successfully predicted this when the timing is right.

This particular Drop, along with Q19, are causing a lot of chatter in the Qniverse, because obviously Q "foresaw" current events, though actually the questions could have multiple answers that change to match current events, and the mention of ANTIFA and Muslim Brotherhood (MB) are good bets for multiple situations.

Q19, dropped the same day as Q14, deals almost exclusively with the relationship between the Democrat Party and the black American population, and leaders and spokespeople.

In this case, there is roughly 170 years of history, the comments of LBJ on passing the welfare laws in 1965, and 50 years of modus operadi to draw on.  This is nearly as safe as predicting the sun will rise tomorrow, in terms of the picture Q is painting.

Notice also that Q14 and 19 were posted almost one year to the day after the election of POTUS, giving any think tank sufficient data to predict the actions of opponents into the future.  Add to the that the ability to capture and read electronic chatter (military intel, or MI), and one has a pretty solid handle on tactics and means of an opponent.

I should mention at this point that Q's assertions of being able to pick up and use electronic chatter of opponents is exactly what the Qvians are so angrily accusing the Obama administration of doing in the so-called Obamagate spying operation.

A common exclamation among Commentators right now is, "How did Q know this three years ago?!"

Having worked in theater and side-shows most of my life and knowing the tricks, I am hardly moved by these "predictions".  If Q had said, even speculatively, that a viral epidemic would sweep the world, and it would be followed by civil unrest based on racial issues, I would be first in the believers' line.

Q has even established an out in the case that any prediction appears way off.  It's disinformation.  Of course, the enemy reads the Q Drops too, and we can't give away everything can we?  Q doesn't even have to do the dirty work.  The Qvians themselves wave off any inaccuracies as false trails for the cabal to follow.

The answer is simple for anyone that has read American history covering the last 170 years.  Nearly all episodes of civil unrest and rioting have been fomented by the political left, and in pretty much every case has led to the overwhelming election of a right-wing administration.  Note specifically Lincoln in 1860, and Nixon in 1968.  We may infer the same forces electing Trump in 2016, and current events will most likely sweep him into office with a Nixonesque landslide in 2020.

What really bakes the noodle, with this established historical pattern in mind, are the political left in America actually trying to throw the election to Trump?    After all, Trump has proven so resilient to the left's machinations, and Q's Drops seem prescient enough, that one could infer a massive operation to engineer society on the part of both sides.  Just a few short years ago, the right would have fought tooth-and-nail against a national ID - especially for voting purposes - yet they are now begging for it.

As Q itself frequently says, we are watching a movie.  There is a nagging suspicion at the back of my brain that this is all a huge game to get the right wing to demand everything they would have rebelled against less than half a decade ago.  And this is what makes me so suspicious of Q, and Trump.

Q seems to know what will happen years ahead of time.  Q claims to have recruited Trump.  Trump always seems ahead of the game.  The left seems to play right into political traps.  The left has put up a candidate that so obviously feeble and incoherent that no one could seriously vote for him, unless out of sheer spite or misguided loyalty.

Everything together smacks of a thrown election, creating a hero of such power and stature that even the most hard-boiled anti-statists would follow him right over the cliff.

Why, it's almost as if the whole thing, on all sides and in every detail, has been planned, and that Trump is not only the desired outcome of so-called white nationalists, but is in fact the product of a collusion of both sides of the aisle.  The Democrats appear to be falling on their swords to create a single-party system with all the trappings of a totalitarian regime.  And thanks to Q, the right-wing conservative resistance is waltzing right into it thinking they are patriots every step of the way.

When I am working on a puzzle, I know I am on the right track when the pieces start to form a coherent image.  In this case, all the pieces don't seem to add up until one imagines it is completely staged on all sides to herd people in a very specific direction while subverting all their normal cautions and reservations.

Q has successfully merged religion, politics, militarism, commerce, and social engineering into a tight little package.  It has people around the world spouting slogans, while deriding people who spout slogans.  I has people praising the use of logic and reason, while accepting unconditionally everything they are told.  It has framed a political leader as a quasi-religious figure appointed by God to clean up all the injustices of the world and save us from damnation.  It has gotten people who previously would have panicked over the Chief Executive threating to use the military on US soil cheering for it - even begging.

You tell me if this seems normal in the cold light of reason.

Is the revolution a left-right battle?  Or is it the final push for something much more nefarious and frightening?

Post Scriptum: A great many Qvians have whipped themselves into a froth over the possibility of Barack Obama and/or Hillary Clinton being brought up on charges of treason.  If this ever happens, and it is a Big If, there are a number of problems with it.

The US Constitution grants Congress the sole power to "declare war," however there are no formal or proscribed formats for such things.  The last time Congress actually "declared war" was 5 July 1942, when it passed a joint declaration of war against Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria.  More recently, Congress passed a joint "authorization to use military force" in the wake of 9/11, to authorize the president to use the military to fight terrorism.


This gets problematic when one wants to indict someone of treason.  In the US, 18USC2381 creates a criminal act called treason.  If found guilty, the perpetrator may be jailed for not less than 5 years, fined not less than $10,000, and could receive the death penalty.

Treason in the US is defined as levying war against the States, or giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the States.

It gets murky in that the US has not actually "declared war" for nearly 80 years, and knowing how attorneys love to parse words, is an "authorization to use military force" legally the same as a declaration?  If so, then the accused must be shown to be a legal combatant on behalf of a foreign power which has declared war on the US, or show that the accused knowingly gave aid and comfort to an enemy that has decalred war on the US.

A combatant is defined by the Customary IHL, Rule 3, under international law.  Combatants are only members of the Armed Forces, excepting medical and religious personnel, and thus are uniformed and identifiable as combatants.  Otherwise, we are into a really murky realm of espionage, and I don't have the energy to dive into that topic here.

Thus, to get an indictment - and ultimately a conviction - of treason, there must be a declared war, which alone would take years to sort out the legal tangle of that mess, and the accused would have to be a combatant or spy on behalf of the declared enemy, which itself is a bowl of legal spaghetti.

The chances of any of the chast of characters the Qvians salivate over being indicted, tried and convicted of treason in their lifetimes is slim to nil, given their current ages.  There are at least a half dozen Supreme Court decisions just waiting to happen, not to mention questions that are far more complex than the meaning of "is".

If any indictments and/or convictions come out of the Qniverse Fantasyland, they may well lead to new and modified legislation going forward.  At a minimum, we can expect the entire process to wend its way through the frozen molasses of government in the next 30-40 years.

I find it highly improbable that anyone of significant status within the Qniverse Fantasyland to ever see the inside of a courtroom, much less a jail cell.  Judicial Watch has been trying to haul Hillary Clinton into court for a deposition under oath, and even with court orders and piles of evidence, they can't even get her in the same State as the court.

And just to rub salt in the wound, many of the players in Qniverse Fantasyland have or had at the time sovereign immunity.  If you want to understand that term, you're on your own.  Good luck!
