High Noon At The DC Corral

 

Americans by nature are a suspicious lot..  The cultural heroes are revolutionaries, outlaws and gun slingers.  Robber barons are heroes on the rise, but when they reach the point of tilting the table in their favor, the mass of Americans cast them as villains and break them on the rocks of history.

One need only look at Silicon Valley to see this in real time.  The Chipper Barons once championed freedom and the Common Man, now they are slimy billionaires protecting their turf and the culture is turning against them.  Soon, we will witness the collapse.

America began as waves of settlers tied of the entrenched systems in Europe and the unequal application of those systems to favor The In-Crowd.  The American Cultural DNA is the desire to be left the hell alone to pursue life, liberty and happiness.

That weltanschauung carried through to a revolution run out of people's root cellars and pubs.  Tired of working their fool hands to the bone to pay fealty to the Crown, they banded together and put down the world's greatest superpower of that era.

America still idolizes the Old West, a period, place and mindset of rugged individualism, where there were no laws, no taxes and no systems.  Just a man against the elements, making or breaking himself on the vagaries of Nature and the elements.  His successes and failures were his alone.

In this bit of Americana, outlaws robbed banks that symbolized the encroaching System.  They held up trains, which were the medium of encroachment.  They supported the gun slingers and hired them as the "law" West of the Pecos.  Americans love flea-bit characters whose only laws were fairness, unwatered whiskey and a level billiard table.

Americans will tolerate corruption when it hurts the Establishment, but they will not abide corruption from the Establishment.  Swindling the swindlers is poetic justice and absolutely fair.  Once a hero becomes the Establishment, they fall from grace and become the targets of the new Underground.

This is precisely what is happening in the US right now.  The 60s Counterculture became the Establishment, now the American Spirit is rising up with a new Counterculture to displace the old.

To the American mind, equality is abhorrent.  The idea of Socialism, Communism or Fascism is repugnant.  Americans, for the most part, know that these systems are the formalization of Elite rule over the regular working stiff, and that "equality" is a vile concept.

Americans love "fairness".  They want the same opportunities as the next guy, but they know that it is the individual's moxy and industriousness that makes one person richer than another.  In that old Calvinist mindset, if the playing field is level, then the winner advances on skill, perseverance and moral codes, not with an Elitist protection racket that favors followers over leaders.

As I have said many times before, Donald Trump is a symptom, not a cause.  Trump is widely seen as the classic American anti-hero, pulling himself up through a system that was arrayed against him, rough around the edges but with a heart of gold.  This is not a new thing, it is the image that Trump has carefully crafted throughout his entire public life.  Folks don't look at his politics or his persona, they look at his life story and see a man - rightly or wrongly - who suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, and took arms against a sea of troubles...and won.

In the election of 2020, still underway, the average Joe (pun intended) smells a rat.  He knows instinctively that the mass media have lied, that the System is rigged, and that the alternative choice is a lying, cheating plagiarist (see 1988 election).  Biden clearly has no moral code, and Americans are repelled by that kind of character.  His success was at the expense of others, not their benefit.

I don't think a lot of people particularly like Trump, but they respect him - at least far more than his opponents.  He has been a consistent character who won by playing by the rules, while being better at using the rules against his adversaries.  He is the outlaw gun slinger turned sheriff.

Trump is the outlaw.  He is the classic American anti-hero.  He played the game, but wasn't part of it.  He built an empire, but didn't weaponize it.  He's a plain talker that sounds like real folk.  And so far, no one has caught him lying - about important stuff anyway.  We all know marketing is complete bullshit, and for the most part, we tolerate it.

Trump's popular image is that he is Jesse James, or Bonnie and Clyde.  He fights the Establishment and miraculously keeps surviving, while sharing the wealth with us little folk.  He is the hero hanging off the cliff right now, and the audience is starting to root for him.  They can't wait to tune in tomorrow to see how he'll get out of this one.

Trump sells himself as the Great American Underdog - with a private jet.

There is no doubt that Americans love their superheroes.  Many a fortune has been built on these particularly American figures.  The one that seems to resonate the most with the widest possible audience is Batman.

Batman has no superpowers.  He is wealthy, yes, but he channels his wealth towards leveling the playing field.  He backs the law and order crowd, but is not part of the law and order crowd.  He will take on the Establishment as fast as any villain if their corruption tilts the table.

Trump, at least in the American psyche, is Batman.  He's just a guy with a lot of money who knows where the bodies are buried and wants to root out corruption and re-establish fairness.  He's willing to take a few punches, and deliver a few as well.  He's an inside outsider, if we can conceptualize those poles existing together.

Keep in mind, I do not say the image is true.  Only history will decide that.  I speak from the position of a Casting Director or a storyteller.  I talk about image and marketing, which never have anything to do with reality.  Real or not, Trump is cast as Batman in the minds of Americans.  He is the anti-hero with nothing but his money and his wits - and more than 70 million Americans who believe the image - and who will turn on him in a New York minute if they feel betrayed.

Trump behaves like a man who has seen the final reel and knows the good guys win, no matter how bleak it looks right now.  Is he projecting an image, or does he really know something we don't?  He behaves like the movie character who gives a quick wink to the camera to let us know that it's not as bad as it looks.

For myself, I respect Trump as a master bullshit artist.  I draw a distinct line between bullshitters and bullshit artists, and he falls solidly into the latter.  I don't trust a single word he says, but I admire the way he says it.  It works - quite well judging by his wide base of support.

What will the outcome of the 2020 election be?  I have no idea.  Here's what I do know:

The media are lying through their teeth about pretty much everything.  They are contradicting things they said as recently as the 2018 election, or even what they said about Biden in the primary season this round.  Absolutely nothing the media say can be trusted.

The law favors Trump.  Title 3 USC 1, Sec. 1 & 2 clearly say that the people, governors and Secretaries of State have a plenary right to call the elections, but after midnight on Election Day, that right can be unilaterally rescinded by the legislatures if certain conditions arise, and they have arisen in all of the contested states.  This is the law that the Supreme Court cited in stopping the Florida recounts in 2000.

There is most certainly corruption and rigging in the US election.  For one thing, history tells us that all elections are corrupt to a certain extent.  For the most part, we tolerate it and go about our merry business, but when it is so egregious and obvious, as it is now, the old American level playfield outlaw psyche kicks in.  The Affidavit of Dr. Navid Kashavariz-Nia should make even the hardest heart and head want to know the truth, regardless of where it leads.

Finally, we know the character of Joe Biden.  His career has been marked by lying, cheating and plagiarizing.  He is on record as claiming to have leveraged a billion dollar load guarantee to the Ukraine in return for firing a prosecutor who was investigating a company his son worked for.  He has claimed to have three degrees, a full scholarship to university, and to have graduated at the top of his class, none of which have proven true.  His tenure as Vice President under Barack Obama is overflowing with evidence of misuse of government agencies and power to target "enemies," including Gen. Michael Flynn, recently pardoned by Trump.  That he would stop at nothing to rig an election is plausible and evidence is mounting.

In my estimation, the 2020 Election is quintessentially America.  A corrupt Establishment tilting the table in their favor.  The lone hero tilting at windmills.  Cliffhangers.  Mob bosses.  Fairness versus Equality.  It's all there, and this is why the nation is transfixed on the outcome.

I contend that the average Joe (pun intended) down in the trenches, beaten by imaginary viruses, threatened by Communist China, struggling to overcome adversity, is hoping, praying that Trump wins.  I believe Trump knows this and is orchestrating events for maximum catharsis when it happens.  

Watch any old classic Western film then scan the headlines and see if you don't find the same connections I do.

We're in the second reel.  The hero is down and things look bleak.  We are glued to our seats waiting for the cavalry.  Stay tuned, same Bat-time, same Bat-channel!

Drinking The Qool-Aid

Note: the list of previous articles on this topic has moved to the end of the page.

UPDATE 11OCT20: Radio Far Side will host a livestream discussion of the Q Phenomenon on 13OCT20, with guests Joseph P. Farrell and Catherine Austin Fitts.  Join us for this special event: Q & the Qult - A Multi-Spectrum Analysis.

 UPDATE 26SEP20: Out long-standing thesis that the current global situation is an elite turf war seems to be catching on.

The title of this article is a layered allusion, including both Jim Jones' Guyana cult and the deadly Kool-Aid now known irreverently as Guyana Punch, and Tom (The Right Stuff) Wolfe's 1968 book The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, in which Ken (One Flew Over the Cuckoos's Nest) Kesey and his band of Merry Pranksters drove across the US in a school bus, doing LSD and mushrooms while seeking enlightenment.

These are apt allusions for the Qniverse, as the three-year-old psy-op has expanded internationally.  The global spread of Q primarily encompasses Western countries, but is not limited to them.

A recent article received some play in the corporate media, likening QAnon to the spread of the COVID-19 virus.  This is not entirely disingenuous, as memetics researchers of popular culture have long equated cultural memes to viral infections.  In fact, even the term "viral" has long been used to describe certain content that suddenly receives mass attention, as with fads or pop stars.

Please note that Q and QAnon are not the same thing.  Q is a psy-op, likely based on a strange internet phenomenon years ago called Cicada 3301.  It only posts as "Q" on 8kun in the "Patriots Fight" board, of which it is the only member.

If Q is the cause, then QAnon is the effect.  QAnon is what the followers of Q call themselves, and which I call Qvians.  The world as they see it is what I refer to as the Qniverse.  Q "drops" information on 8kun, which is then interpreted by the Apostles and Acolytes, and distributed through the Priesthood to the masses.

I deliberately use religious terms and symbolism, because the Q Phenomenon resembles in many disturbing ways a religious movement and hierarchy.  I have detailed this idea in several previous posts, all linked at top.



I have also likened the Qvians to a Personality Cult, or Qult, as early as March of 2019.  This has been picked up by the corporate media in the past couple of weeks, with tones of panic and fear.  However, since they have only taken my idea and not the research behind it, they really have no clue what they are talking about.

The Qult is by no means violent or dangerous - at least not yet.  What terrifiess the Establishment and the corporate media is that Q represents a new age of information dispersal that they will never understand nor be able to participate in.  And it is effectively countering their narratives as fast as they launch them.

This is the primary appeal of Q, and its most dangerous aspect.

Like the alien message in the Jody Foster film Contact, Q data is a multi-dimensional puzzle.  Each drop is its own message, but using visual and textual cues, the drops can be arranged to form additional layers of messaging.

This is also the connection to Cicada 3301.  Multi-layered puzzles, once decoded, provide clues to other puzzles, which then are "stacked" to provide more clues or solutions to past puzzles.

Essentially, Q is a training technology for an entirely new form of communication.  Ut us not a passive medium, like radio, movies or TeeVee.  Instead, it challenges followers to think multi-contextually, much like the titles of my articles.  The "receivers" are forced to think and research to fully understand the messages being relayed by Q.

Q delivers messages in batches, much like the nearly 100 drops in the past two weeks, then it goes silent to analyze what parts of the messages have been received and how the information is being distributed.  It then formulates new drops to "steer" the conversation either to past information that was missed, or to new information for processing.

Just as with any hierarchical system, there are those privy to the inner circule, and layers of followers down to those with only the most superficial understanding.  There is an initiation phase, in which the initiate must learn the Qvian "code," read the more than 4,700 drops to date, and learn to interpret the messages

If Q was the Freemasons, most Qvians would be in the Blue Lodge of the first 3 degrees, while a select few advance to the 33rd degree, with full access to Q deepest revelations.

Q's wide appeal is based on the dopamine response, similar to computer games and social media.  Solving puzzles and announcing one's findings to the wider Qniverse provides that critical burst of pleasure and pride that is addictive.  This is evident when Q goes into "listening mode".  The Qvians quickly start wringing their hands and wondering when the next drops will come, while going back and reparsing previous drops for hidden information.

While in "listening mode," Q is mapping networks of chatter, cataloging what is being said, and predicting behavior in both the real and vitual worlds basedd on a technology similar to clif high's webbots, combined with a powerful data mining function that creates virtual "persons" with the habits and personalities of those reacting to its drops.

Q is essentially like many marketing systems used by the big firms, but vastly more powerful.  When we surf the internet, small bits of code follow us around, log our activities, measure how long our eyes are fixed on any one item, determine which ads catch our attention, aand even follow us around the real world to see where we shop, dine and entertain ourselves.  They build an avatar of us that can be manipulated to, in turn, manipulate us.

Imagine that technology, along with aspects we don't want to imagine, backed by bottomless funding, and incomprehensible processing power and infinite storage and modeling capacity.

That is Q.

What's even more fascinating, if not frightening, is that Q has convinced the Qvians that it is one man, in close proximity to Donald Trump and working in concert with him to provide "transparency" that circumvents the corporate media.  Few, if any, can conceive of Q being a vast marketing and surveillance operation that is invading and steering their thoughts.

Q is siphoning eyeballs away from the corporate media.  At a meta level, the events of 2020 have been a clash between the dying mass media, represented by the Democrats and the Left in the US, and the rise of the interactive media of the future, represented by the Republicans and the Right in the US.

Americans are generally unaware of it, but the entire world is going through the same process to varying degrees.  There is a clash of historic proportions taking place, and like all of them in history, there are those who fear and fight, and those who adapt and adopt.  Humans are merging with their technology is a way few have foreseen.  A kind of hive mind is emerging, where we are no longer independent actors, but the sum of the media we consume.

The horse became the internal combustion engine.  The blacksmith became the mechanic.  The green grocer because the grocery store, which became the mall.  Metal money became paper money, which became plastic, and now is a QR code.  Technological change seems inevitable, and the old systems will always fight the new, until the new seems indispensible to our lives.

Q is the nascent form of a wildly new and strange technology.  It is teaching followers to think a new way and manipulating the Qvians with a power few are cognizant of.  While it is clearly and increasingly manipulating popular culture in its favor, it may also be planting the seeds of its antithesis.  Herein lies the rub.

As Sun Tzu teaches us, the best way to defeat an enemy is to control every aspect of how the enemy will react.

Q manipulates the Qvians into thinking and acting in certain ways, while at the same time "predicting" how the "enemy" will react.  This technique is essentially a digital box canyon.  The "enemy" is led into a range of predictable reactions, which are easily countered since Q created the entire scenario to begin with.

The Qvians get their shot of dopamine, feeling as if they've been part of a victory.  The "enemy" is trapped by its own actions.  And Q gets the reputation of being prescient, even prophetic.

It is entirely plausible and possible that everything occurring in the US right now, and worldwide, is being orchestrated by Q to achieve whatever end it is seeking.  Q is doing this by drawing together religion, politics, media, pop culture, and technology.  It parses history and current events through the filter of human nature, then carefully calibrates what information to inject to cause predictable outcomes.

This, dear reader, is why I am both fascinated and terrified by Q - enough so to spend three years studying and writing about it.

I suspect, with good reason, that we are all being engineered, not just by Q, but by competing systems as well.

And here we arrive full circle back at the Qool-Aid.

The Q Scenario

UPDATE 11SEP20: Qmap.pub taken offline after webmaster doxxed and report stalks him. Why so much establishment fear of QAnon?

UPDATE 14SEP20: It appears Q is going viral, with significant Q groups in 70 countries.

In March of 2019, I identified the Q Phenomenon as a cult, or as I called it, The Qult.  I did not create this label as a hyperbolic hook, but rather based on history and psychological studies of the topic of Personality Cults.  The Q Phenomenon meets all the standards for a Personality Cult, which uses next-generation technology and techniques to create, maintain and promote the Qult.

We should note that the Qult refers to itself as QAnon, or increasingly as digital soldiers.  Members vehemently deny being part of a cult, but as we will see, they meet all the criteria.

The corporate media apparently read my articles and about a month ago picked up on the cult theme, but not the reasoning and proofs behind it.  They did so without attribution as usual.  They are throwing labels at "QAnon," but they have not read the Q Drops and have not studied the Phenomenon, thus their articles come off as hollow and hysterical.  They don't cite the methods Q uses, or the psychology, or the history to show how and why the Q Phenomenon has become The Qult.

Let's begin by defining the primary characteristics of a Personality Cult.  Keep in mind that different researchers use different terms and markers, but the following is a fair summary of the most often cited studies:

1. Personality Cults appeal primarily to males, 
2. they seek to indoctrinate the entire population and not isolated segments, 
3. they employ and dominate mass media,
4. they employ a persecution complex to enhance unity and cohesion, and
5. have a central figure or leader with god-like status.

Historically, Julius Caesar was probably the first modern-style Personality Cult.  The Caesar Cult meets all the above criteria if we assume public art was essentially the mass media of the pre-electric age.  We also know that Julius Caesar was deified, and the entire population of Rome was encouraged to worship him.

In the past century, Adolph Hitler is an obvious example of a Personality Cult.  In recent US history, Ronald Reagan fits the bill as a Personality Cult.  He has even achieved a form of secular sainthood among some political factions.  Reagan was a master of image and media manipulation.  His folksy wit, patriotic platitudes and his prim media image attracted millions worldwide, and his name is still spoken in reverent tones.

Similar Personality Cults were attempted around William Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, but the men at the center of these efforts failed morally, intellectually and behaviorally to live up to the image that was manufactured.

Obama came closest to achieving a cult.  Early in his administration, he was constantly photographed with a halo of light.  He was given the Nobel Peace Prize before he had achieved anything worthy of the trophy.  Schools forbade speaking his name in vane.  Had he not quickly gained a reputation killing and corruption, his cult might have succeeded.

With Reagan, the image that was created and sold to the masses was that of the Great Communicator.  Only he could dominate the global stage and bring the evil USSR to heel.  Only he could repair the damage to the American Image inflicted by Richard Nixon and James Carter.  Reagan's "sainthood" was assured because he essentially achieved the goals of rebuilding the US economy, subduing the USSR, and bringing peace and plenty to the world.  We could argue actual results for hours, but the image survives 40 years later.

In contrast, no one believed that Clinton told the truth, that G. W. Bush was intelligent, or that Obama had America's interests at heart.  Not only did the personal foibles of these men prevent their cults from succeeding, but they were not media savvy and didn't understand the power of the technology.

Marketing is all about perceptions and manipulating them to create desired and predictable outcomes in mass populations.

This brings us to Donald Trump and the Q Psy-Op.

To briefly recap the Q Mythology, Trump was recruited by US military intelligence services (chosen by God) to root out corruption and "drain the swamp" (bring Salvation), and re-establish American cultural, economic and military dominance on the world stage (bring forth the Kingdom of Heaven), while inserting Judeo-Christian morality back into public life (hand down the Law).

My Q Theory is that it is a psy-op run by a group within the Global Engagement Center (GEC) of the US State Department, which is creating a Personality Cult around Trump in order to effect changes on the political and geopolitical stage, and insert a favorable ideology to counter the Globalist regime Iturf wars).  Q has established itself as an invisible force that is all-knowing and all-powerful (God) that guides followers by clarifying current events (preaching) and foretelling future events (prophesy).  Q has enlisted a powerful set of data mining and media tools, with a media savvy spokesman (Trump) to by-pass and subvert the formidable barrier of the corporate media.

With this background, let's examine the Qult using the criteria listed at top.

The Qult does indeed appeal to males.  Qvians are predominantly male.  This is not to say that females are not involved, but they do not dominate the public discourse as the males do.  This is primarily due to the military meme used by Q as a recruiting tool, and to the manufactured image of Trump as an "alpha male" stereotype.  Tis appeals to Western males, who rightly believe they have been emasculated by the popular culture for many years.

The Qult is fixated on power, strength, cunning, and duty, which are male characteristics.  It is interesting to note that Q promotes dominance and action, while at the same time commanding followers to be "digital soldiers," "enjoy the show" and do research - passive activities, which are female characteristics.  

I am not sure why this is so, but I suspect it is a recruiting tool.  The message is that if you want to be active, join the corps, as in the actual US military.  It may also be building anger by creating a desire to act, while subverting the ability at the same time.  Certainly, anger is a powerful force when channeled at selected targets.

The Qult seeks to indoctrinate the entire population.  The Qult sees itself as not just a national, but a global movement.  The Qvians see themselves as agents for clearing out corruption everywhere, and they believe it is achievable by ending human and drug trafficking, bribery and insider trading, and money laundering.  

Q has convinced the Qult that these are achievable goals, though at no time in human history have they been realized.  Wherever power and money concentrate, corruption always follows.  The only way to achieve these goals would be to disperse power and money as thinly as possible, which sounds much like the Leftist ideology of absolute "equality".

If we apply the religious metaphor that I use, the Qult might be analogous to the Inquisition or the Protestant Reformation.

The Qult could not exist without mass media.  It depends entirely on the use of websites, video and podcast platforms, message boards, and increasingly broadcasst television, as the number of reports continues to grow, regardless of emotional content (positive, negative, indifferent).  It is this latter item that is most interesting, in that Q seems to be forcing itself into public discourse by cornering the corporate media into talking about it.  In the words of P. T. Barnum, "There's no such thing as bad publicity."

The Q Commentators provide several vital functions: fostering cohesiveness, interpreting events in light of prophesy, and re-enforcing messaging amd consensus.  These are crucial to creating a group identity and enforcing a unified message across time and space.

It is essential that individual Qvians know there are other believers in the population, that they are having similar thoughts and experiences, and share common belief systems.  This creates an esprit de corps that enhances bonds between people who would otherwise be separated by physical, social or political boundaries.

The Qult uses the various media platforms to proselytize and maintain cohesion.  Isolated individuals are rarely able to maintain unconventional views when surrounded by those with "normal" beliefs.  The media provide the vital reassurance one needs to be empowered and persevere.

The media allow the Qvians to harmonize goals and objectives, and widely distribute messaging.  Given that the Qult views itself as a global movement, the mass media are the cheapest and most effective means to focus energies over a vast geographical and cultural landscape.  Use of media can expand or narrow goals and objectives across widely dispersed elements in near real-time.

The most intriguing aspect of the Q Phenomenon, in my view, is that it is almost entirely virtual.  There are no conventions, rallies or marches in the Name of Q.  It is one of the first true digital cults that I am aware of.

The Qult maintains a seige mentality.  One of the most effective marketing tools is the "circle the wagons' effect.  When a group of people who share common bonds feel threatened, they tend to form defensive patterns, temporarily putting aside internal differences to fight an external threat.

With Donald Trump as the central figure in the Personality Cult, we don't need to look far to see ample evenidence of persecution.  The Qult has taken Trump and Q as personal saviors, and with the years-long investigations, impeachment, assassination attempts, and near-universal negative coverage of both Trump and Q in the corporate media, they interpret this as personal attacks and instinctively rally, even virtually,setting aside personal differences or grievances until the threat is eliminated.

Trump and Q have been deified.  Trump has been widely, if quietly, been given the status of god-emperor.  He is commonly said within the Qult to be as great or greater than George Washington.  One only needs to look at the rotunda of the US capitol to see what status Washington has.  Trump seems well on his way to achieving apotheosis in the Qult.

Q is quoted as a kind of Gospel, with Drops numbered and studied for occult messages and hidden wisdom.  In Qult discussions, Q is said to know everything (surveillance), be unhindered by physical or political boundaries (virtual presence), and capable of manipulating human events to achieve Its Will (legal prosecution).

Q often quotes Biblical scriptures and encourages faith in God.  In practice, the Qult has at least equated if not replaced God with Q.  The two entities share common attribues and mythologies at the meta level, and both seek the redemption of Humanity by rooting out evil in all its forms for all time (Enlightenment).

As is the case with all cults, the Qult has set up a firewall in the minds of followers that prevents them from objective self-reflection.  Because they are right and good in their self-image, there can be no internal dialog concerning the hows and whys of the Qult.  In other words, the perception of personal virtue is transferred to the whole.  

When confronted with objective analysis, some will laugh it off as absurd and others will become angrily defiant and defensive, but curiously they all repeat similar phrases in their defense, meaning the responses are programmed at some subconscious level.  It is analogous to religious apologetics that dismiss inconsistencies and incongruities with hand-waiving and rote platitudes.

This highlights the final point concerning insider language and similar identifiers.  All cults develop a "shadow language," or a kind of short-hand that identifies and separates initiates from outsiders.  Key phrases like WWG1WGA, The Storm and The Plan are simple, innocuous sounding terms that are packed with meaning - a verbal wink and a nod.  This is a common feature of religions, secret societies and revolutionary plotters.

In a sense, we are all guilty of this.  Jargon within various business sectors functions the same way.  We all use verbal short-hand and insider syntax to identify other professionals and eliminate pretenders and neophytes.  With cults, though, this tendency takes on a certain mystical flavor, with the jargon serving as a kind of sacred vocabulary.

Because Personality Cults rely on a sage mentality, they also rely on security and identifying sympathetic insiders.  They learn not to speak freely to avoid detection and persecution, and thus have coded language that lets them know when they are in "safe" company.  This is no different from the trope of spies using identifier phrases.

In an environment where Trump supporters are literally being killed, much less harassed and persecuted, the Sacred Language is truly a matter of life and death.  This has been true throughout history, and is the origin of many secret societies.

In closing, it must be pointed out that the term QAnon is the self-identifier for the Qult, and the entity they follow is known only as "Q".  When the corporate media attack QAnon, the reporter is obviously, willfully or not, ignorant of the subject they are reporting on.

In all of the mainstream reports I have seen, the reporters constantly refer  to QAnon and quote Twitter messages, Facebook posts and other social media, but they never quote Q or reference the Drops, which is the primary source.  This is essentially playing into plausible deniability, and I can't believe all reporters are this stupid - or can I?

This is akin to ridiculing Christians, while never referencing the Gospels or theology.  A term like "body of Christ" (Corpus Christi) sounds nonsensical without the context behind it, and perhaps that is what the reporters are after, though they are defeating themselves - unless it is deliberate, but that is a different article.

Without the context, no one can understand the depth and seriousness of the Qult, thus it is easily dismissed as some whacky "conspiracy theory".  One cannot appreciate the passion of Qult members unless one understands the many interwoven threads that create the tapestry.

Given Q's now-three year history and the rise of the Qult, the next Big Question we will address is: Did the appearance of the Q Psy-Op precipitate current events in the US?

Stay tuned...

The Grand Enygma

READER NOTE: I do not censor comments - positive, negative or neutral.  I DO moderate them, because I am under constant attack by those who want to cash in on my readership, or bots posting pornographic links.  Your sincere comment will be posted as fast as I am notified by Google.

In the 1790s, two of the legendary Founders of the united States of America, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, formed one of the fledgling country's first political parties - the Democratic Republicans.

This party was dedicated to protecting individual rights, States' Rights and seeing to it that no one formed a central bank.

Almost immediately, problems appeared, but it was a deep ideological split over abolition of slavery that ultimately caused the party to break in two by the 1820s.  The resulting Democrat Party supported slavery and wanted a central bank, while the Republican Party was dead-set on abolition of slavery and no central bank.

When people grouse that the Democrats and Republicans are just two sides of the same coin, they are, to a great degree, correct.

The Democrat Party is the oldest voter-based party on the planet, and one of the oldest continually operating parties ever.  The number of individuals in the US who identify as Democrat significantly outnumber the Republicans.  The wealth and power represented by the Democrat Party is enormous.

So why is a 230-year-old organization with that kind of pedigree literally doing everything possible to commit political suicide?

An organization with that kind of power and track record doesn't suddenly implode in the space of four years.  It has survived and been reasonably successful precisely because it made smart choices at key junctures and was able to recruit millions of intelligent and pragmatic people over the centuries.  This is not to say their choices were agreeable to everyone, but they were certainly enough to amass wealth and power and take over various aspects of the federal government in a generational flip-flop with its once-conjoined sibling.  It was even clever and powerful enough to get the first black president to office, and nearly enough to get the first woman.

It seems that the Democrat Party's dramatic fall from grace began with the nomination of Hillary Clinton for president in 2016.  From that point on, the Democrats have literally and figuratively been crumbling before our eyes, in a series of choices that defy reason or self-protection.

Hillary Clinton, by any objective standard, was a terrible choice.  This has nothing to do with gender or race or any other shallow metric.  She is a disagreeable human being - mean, calculating, duplicitous.  She did not want the presidency for any ideological purpose - she believes in nothing but herself.  She only wanted to enrich herself from the position, and ensure grade schools across the land would rename themselves in her honor.

It has been part of popular culture since the 1990s, that she and her husband lie, cheat and possibly even murder to get what they want.  Even on TeeVee, her haughty insincerity ooze through the electrons.  Any level-headed analysis would conclude that she stole her way to the nomination, and for that reason, voters rejected her, especially in the "fly-over country" that is American's conscience.

From the moment the Democrats nominated her, the foundation cracked and the pillars crumbled and the curtain in the sanctuary was rent in twain.

Following Clinton's loss, the Democrats took a series of decisions that, to an impartial observer, seem to belie suicidal tendencies.  The years of harping on Russiagate in the face of contrary facts, with party leaders blatantly lying while hanging their reputations on those lies.  The selection of Nancy Pelosi (again) as Speaker of the House, and her subsequent antics.  The ill-advised impeachment of Donald Trump.  The mind-numbing tap dances to distract from brewing scandals.  The painful shilling of the mass media.  The overt race baiting with Jussie Smollett, Bubba Wallce and many others.  The astounding support for rioters and looters, and the destruction of major US cities and law enforcement agencies.

And for their latest performance, the nomination of a 5th-place candidate who is clearly suffering from mental incapacitation, and a running mate who withdrew from the primaries before a single vote was cast, and who is equally clearly disliked by key constituencies.  To top off the circus, the Democrats mounted what is likely the most mind-bendingly amateur virtual convention imaginable.  A high school media class could literally run circles around this embarrassing dog-and-pony show.

Rational people are left asking, with mouths agape, what in the hell happened to the Democrats?!  If they were intentionally destroying themselves, they couldn't do a better job.

And there is the conundrum.  One assumes that a party with a very long and storied past, with considerable assets and significant wealth and power could never make this many blunders for this many years and not know that they are destroying themselves.

In 1972, Richard Nixon trounced McGovern, taking 520 of 537 Electors., but four years later the Democrats won the presidency with Jimmy Carter, though that president would keep them out of office for the following three terms.

In 1984, Ronald Reagan nearly swept the Electoral College, with all but 13 of the 538 Electors.  Many commentators asked if the Democrats were finished, and in fact they only held the presidency for four years from 1968, until 1992.

The Democrats fought back to relevancy every time, with Bill Clinton for two terms in the 1990s, and Barack Obama in the 2010s.  This time, however, it seems that all hope may be abandoned.

There are three conceivable reasons that might explain this strange situation:

1. The Democrat Party has been overrun by complete morons (possible, but let's discount this one for now);
2. The Democrats believe they cannot win against Donald Trump and are saving their A-Team for 2024 (possible, but threatens control of the House and surrenders the Senate);
3. Someone has given orders for the Democrats to immolate themselves (my choice).

The first option is possible, but highly unlikely.  The party has the history, money and power to attract top political analysts and strategists.  It seems rather implausible that the majority centrists in the party would allow the leadership to deteriorate this much.

The second option is plausible, but equally unlikely.  Even if the leadership has abandoned the idea of beating Trunp, this strategy risks almost everything.  They stand to lose control of the House, deepen their weak position in the Senate, surrender control of the Supreme Court (at least two replacements likely in the next four years), and completely unravels the Globalist agenda that has been built over a century.

The only scenario where this option makes some sense is to lull the Republicans into a feeling of complacency in the hopes they won't turn out to the polls, but a cost-benefit analysis of this strategy makes it an extreme risk, given all that's on the line for the Left.

The final option is the only one that fits all the available evidence.

If one makes the reasonable assumption that both parties are, at some lofty level, controlled by the same entity(ies), then one can also assume that the Democrats have been ordered to fall on their swords for a higher purpose.  The question is, can we hypothesize a reasonable strategy where this would be plausible?

Over the last two decades, there has been a growing unrest and dissatisfaction with globalism and the rapid destruction of ethnic and cultural identity.  In the US, it first appeared in 1996, with the Ross Perot campaign.

Ross Perot was a Texas businessman, who ran as an independent in 1992, and polled 19% of the vote that year.  This was the strongest showing by a third party candidate since Theodore Roosevelt in 1912, and the third highest in US history.

In 2012, Ron Paul, a Texas physician, announced his third run for the presidency.  He consistently polled in the Top 3 of Republican candidates, but was blatantly snubbed by the media.  Regardless, he had a large and fanatical following that drew thousands to an alternative rally during the RNC that year.

Perot and Paul revealed a large and growing hidden class of disenfranchised voters who were not happy with the globalist direction of the country, and who were now activated by Paul, who showed them just how large their numbers really were.

In the highest echelons of power, one can imagine a note of anxiety seeing these increasingly engaged and enraged voters.  It was obvious that they were right wing, nationalistic and growing restless.  They were obviously attracted to the Republican Party if a suitable candidate was fielded.

Donald Trump had name recognition, wealth, popularity, and ticked off all the talking points of the hidden voters.  

Hillary Clinton preferred Trump as an opponent, thinking he was an easily beatable buffoon, but it's possible she was steered into that belief by her handlers.  She was obviously unaware of the numbers of hidden voters, since she casually labelled them a "basket of deplorables."  Again, we ask was she that unaware, or was she steered that direction?  For all her faults, she is a canny political creature.

All of the foregoing is by way of saying that it is plausible that the true elite chose Donald Trump in order to defuse and channel the growing nationalistic fervor.  Sacrificing a decade to preserve more than a century of work building the global systems is hardly out of the question.  

After all, nationalist has surged in my locations across the globe and it is easier to mold and direct energy, than to stop it cold.  With an extensive digital surveillance network, it would be easy to gather and use blackmail material, allowing them to regain control over a significant number of politicians, regardless of their bespoke positions.  These elites could even surrender operatives like Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, since their type of honey traps were now obsolete.  The Anthony Weiners of the political world were sexting all the data the elites could possibly use.

In the final analysis, it seems that the lofty Olympians have decided on a course of action that incorporates the current wave of nationalism into their long-term goals.  They have issued marching orders to party leaders to throw the election, and even if the politicians are ignorant or unhappy with the arrangement, they have no choice, as all their secrets have been carefully cataloged in vast databases.  The voters, of course, are inconsequential in any case.

If anyone has a better explanation for the abject insanity we see in the daily news feeds, there is a comment section below.  I'd sure love to hear it.

UPDATE: 4 August 2020 - the Mainstream Medium continues to push the idea that QAnon is a popular conspiracy theory that has sprung up from basements across America, rather than a sophisticated psy-op being promulgated by intelligence services to groom and channel popular dissent.  Interesting to note the undertone of fear and urgency, confirming that they know the truth.

Americans have been trained by the Bernaysian school of public relations, for well over a century, to think in sound bites and tag lines.

Ron Paul was an intellectual who could not give quippy answers to complex questions, because he knew the issues were deep and broad, with many interconnected issues.  He appealed to those who had taken the time to ponder the profound problems with the world and US governance, but he couldn't reach a wide audience, in part due to the media literally hiding him, but also because the well-trained audience tuned out as soon as he started sounding like a history teacher.

When Paul ran for president in 2012, he exposed a vast group of disaffected voters who had given up on the System as being intractable and monolithic.  Both major political parties were, as many people knew but seldom articulated, two sides of the same coin.

It was clear to the ruling class that this group had to be defused or deflected, or they would eventually win and cause irreparable harm to elites' now-centuries old control apparatus we commonly call government.

Cue Donald Trump.

In stepped Donald Trump.  He is a marketing genius, regardless of one's opinions of him.  He was able to tap into the Paul brigade with his blatant and gruff attacks on the Establishment and his appeal to broadly popular issues like crime, immigration and economy.  He was able to do it in a pithy and entertaining manner that attracted a large base of voters, including Paul's base, who had otherwise given up on affecting any meaningful change in government.

With his intimate knowledge of the inner workings of Main Stream Media (MSM), Trump circumvented the usual circuit breakers that defeated Paul.  Combined with Trump's celebrity status and sound bites that were irresistible to the MSM, he was able to steal the spotlight from all the other candidates in both parties and keep the cameras focused on him.  Trump fed the MSM's insatiable hunger for something to talk about, and he was rewarded with a steady stream of free - and priceless - air time.

In order to solidify and expand this loyal base, Trump - or at least his handlers - needed to speak directly to that base, confirm their worst fears, even installing new ones.  The media were ensconced in their ideological roles as gatekeepers, but Trump has spent a lifetime creating new markets and being the first to serve them.  Exploiting markets is what the MSM's raison d'être, and Trump was a gold mine of fresh eyeballs.

When I say Trump's handlers, many supporters with immediately bristle, for it is an object of faith that Trump is fully independent, unbeholden to the Establishment.  However, the Qvians will readily agree that Trump was recruited by military intelligence types precisely to lead the current Culture War.

As they say in politics, you gotta dance with who brung you, and if Trump was recruited and carefully managed by military intel (admitted by all interested parties), then his loyalty is primarily to them above all others.

Enter the Q Operation.

Four years ago, a broad segment of the population would have gone berserk if you had told them that thousands of secret warrants had been issued for political crimes, and that after the mass round-up of opposition had taken place, they would be shipped off to Guantanamo Bay, where military tribunals would pass judgement, and that both National Guard and military regulars would be sent onto the streets of America to perform law enforcement.  After nearly three years of Q, these same people are cheering, even clamoring for it.

If Q is the script, then Trump is the Stage Manager.  Trump is powerless to change the script, but he can time the entrances and exits for maximum effect.

The complexity of the Q Phenomenon has increased exponentially since its humble beginnings.  In an environment where all information is weaponized on all sides, we regular folks spend a lot of time trying to discern which source is least full of cow dung.

When it comes to Q, there are only two parties - those who preach it like a new religion, and those who dismiss it as a ridiculous LARP or conspiracy theory.  The latter group is fully entranced by the MSM and cannot or will not break out of the spell to investigate for themselves.

I take a third line.  I believe Q is real and is a military and/or intelligence service function.  Where I depart from the other parties is that I see Q for what it is - a weaponized marketing plan, where the product is winning hearts and minds.

What sets my spider sense to tingling is the fact that people who used to view government intervention, neighborhood military patrols and star chambers as patently unAmerican, now view these things as utterly necessary and patriotic.  That is a profound change in Weltanschauung, and says to me that the Q Operation is wildly powerful and effective.  Imagine if Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton were to espouse these same ideas.

To get a handle on what is happening in the US, let's turn to the chess metaphor.  In this metaphor, government consists of the back row of pieces, while the electorate are the pawns.  The opposing side is China, or Russia, or the EU, with minor players constituting the Southern Hemisphere.  The two major political parties are the knights.  They are powerful and maneuverable, able to leap obstacles.  They are close to the real power of the King and Queen, but they serve, they do not lead.

In chess, it is a common tactic to sacrifice a piece to achieve a strategic goal.  For example, I may use a rook to capture the Queen, even though I know I will lose it the next round.  I sacrifice a powerful piece in order to neutralize a more powerful one.

In the trenches, it makes little or no sense that the Democrats would nominate a man who is clearly incompetent, and adopt issues that are anathema to American sensibilities.  It is unthinkable that a major US political party would espouse positions like the wildly absurd Green New Deal, or defunding/disbanding police, or supporting Marxist violence, and so on.  It is political suicide to adopt all of those issues in the same critical election.

Unless the Player is sacrificing a knight to take out a more powerful piece.

As I have stated many times before, the current geopolitical environment is one of competing mafiosos.  One of these gangs, a powerful one, supports the dissolution of nation-states and the unification of the world under a single global government.  Another of the gangs has enjoyed profit and success under the status quo, and is vehemently opposed to significant change.  These are the two dominant factions, though there are quite a few others who serve at the pleasure of the top bosses.  They are the bishops, knights and rooks in our chess metaphor.

The Nation-State Player needs to unify the pawns (us) under its banner to defeat the opposing gang.  It cannot afford to split its loyalties and has chosen the Republican knight as its champion.  It must therefore have the Democrat knight fall on its sword to achieve its strategic goals.  Thus, the Democrat knight has been ordered to do everything offensive to the pawns' sensibilities to drive mass support to one side of the board.

Trump is one of the bishops, and Q is the other.  Together, they are guiding the pieces in defense of the King and Queen.  Who the latter two pieces represent we don't know.  Us mere mortals are not privy to that information.  Our job is to clear a path for the power pieces to advance.

Now that we have a clear picture of the global situation, we can take a closer look at the relationship between Q and Trump.  As noted, they are the bishops in our chess metaphor.  They are close to the Ultimate Mafioso, but they are not him or her.

Trump is, to switch metaphors, a carnival barker.  He cannot perform the tricks that the freaks inside can, but he has a commanding presence and the ability to convince the rubes to part with a few shekels.  Q is the freak show.  It performs all the parts and entertains the audience, and leaves them feeling like they got their money's worth.  Trump is doing his job to fill the house, and Q's Bearded Lady, Human Serpent and Contortionist have filled the bill.

A common question is, if Q is real, then who/what is it?

Here, we come to the GEC.

The Global Engagement Center, or GEC, is a little-known department of the US Department of State.  It is run by Lea Gabrielle, whom you've probably never heard of.  The GEC's Mission and Vision statement is:

"Core Mission: To direct, lead, synchronize, integrate, and coordinate efforts of the Federal Government to recognize, understand, expose, and counter foreign state and non-state propaganda and disinformation efforts aimed at undermining or influencing the policies, security, or stability of the United States, its allies, and partner nations.

"Vision: A data-driven Mission Center leading U.S. inter-agency efforts to proactively address foreign adversaries’ attempts to use disinformation and propaganda to undermine U.S. interests."

That's about as concise a statement of Q's modus operandi as we are likely to find.  Going further, the GEC utilizes its Technology Engagement Team, or TET, in the following way:

"The Technology Engagement Team’s Mission: To defend against foreign disinformation and propaganda by transitioning technologies from concept to application at scale and in support of smart policies and operations. TET leads U.S. Government innovation efforts by convening technology experts and programmatic authorities from the public and private sectors, and pushes innovation against this key problem. TET has developed a dedicated effort for the U.S. Government to identify, assess, test and implement technologies against the problems of foreign propaganda and disinformation, in cooperation with foreign partners, private industry and academia."

I have repeated stated that Q represents a novel form of weaponize information and it would fit neatly within the TET's described mission to develop and launch new technologies to create counter-narratives and undermine efforts to steer the pawns in the wrong direction.  It seems clear to me that the primary target of both the GEC and the entities (state, non-state) it goes against is the American people. All other targets are secondary.

The GEC was authorized by Executive Order 13721, signed by Barack Obama in March 2016.  It was funded by Congress in Fiscal Year 2017, which began 1 October of that year.  Q first appeared on 27 October 2017.  We now have an agency, a funding mechanism and creation date, and a Mission and Vision statement that all coincide with the appearance of Q.

We now have at least two factions, or Players - the Globalists and the Nationalists.  They each have entrenched ideologies that are mutually exclusive.  They are both using weaponized information, with Player One using the so-called Main Stream Media and censored social media, while the other is using Q and possibly other similar weapons we are yet unaware of.

We have Donald Trump and Q working in concert as bishops in the grand chess game.  Trump is both the carnival barker drawing the rubes in, and the lightning rod, keeping focus off of other things.

We have Q, which one might think of as an arsenal of information weapons,  It disseminates a narrative, counters other narratives, and listens to the global chatter to determine where the information bombs are coming from and what effect they are having on the general populace, which is Q's so-called "dark" phases when it ceases posting.  During the dark periods, it gathers and assimilates information, as well as develops and launches strategies.

The final piece in this proposed scenario is what happens if the war goes hot, which it may be doing as I write, with riots and chaos in various American cities (and globally).  Up to this point, we have seen a war of words between the various factions, but we cannot depend on that remaining the case.

What happens if police departments in major cities cease to function (under way now) and the judicial system no longer functions (see Michael Flynn case).  Suppose Law and Order break down on a mass scale?

We now come to the Lieber Code, or General Orders 100.  What follows may be dry and tedious to many readers, but the legal provisions for martial law in the United States is an action with very real prospects at this moment.

Since the Petition of Right of 1628, English Common Law has clearly not recognized the concept or practice of martial law.  This is little comfort, since the southern States have already experienced it at the end of the Civil War, and the abilities and constraints of it are enshrined in US law.

In Luther v. Borden the US Supreme Court decided that Rhode Island had acted legally and constitutionally in declaring martial law during a time of insurrection, and by 1863, the decision had made martial law a tool in the government's toolbox to essentially protect itself from the masses.

In the famous Milligan case, the Supreme Court ruled:

“If, in foreign invasion or civil war, the courts are actually closed, and it is impossible to administer criminal justice according to law, then, on the theater of active military operations, where war really prevails, there is a necessity to furnish a substitute for the civil authority, thus overthrown, to preserve the safety of the army and society; and as no power is left but the military, it is allowed to govern by martial rule until the laws can have their free course. As necessity creates the rule, so it limits its duration; for, if this government is continued after the courts are reinstated, it is a gross usurpation of power."

The military, at that time, were acting under Abraham Lincoln's General Orders No. 100, which established a set of rules for military justice (martical law), the treatment of prisoners, and a host of other functions to maintain society at a minimal level until the civil authority could be reconstructed.

It is notable in today's headlines that Antifa, BLM and the various "dark" groups leading them are specifically targeting courthouses and police forces.  We can interpret this as a specific agenda to disrupt the smooth functioning of the civil authorities and daring Trump to declare martial law.

The pandemic lock-down also plays into this agenda, by attempting to shut down the civil authorities.  However, at least for the time being, technology seems to have outstripped the concept of functioning courts.  Closed circuit video and online meeting applications appear to be making end-runs around the concept of "functioning courts," by removing the courts from a physical location to a virtual realm.  It remains to be seen whether a crafty lawyer and a compliant judge will challenge this practice and essentially shut down the virtual courts until the Supreme Court can rule on the practice.

In the meantime, we note that the law, the Supreme Court, international law, and history allow for martial law under circumstances very similar to what is occurring in the US right now.

With regard to international law, it is necessary to understand that the Liever Code was used as the basis for much of the body of law that constitute the Rules of War and international humanitarian laws.  It is essentially the Lieber Code which has broght thousands of refugees into Europe and is governing their resettlement there, and which is why they are more or less untouchable by local authorities.

To wrap this overlong exploration up in a tidy package, we have a global game of chess, in which the Players are dominant power factions, playing an elaborate game of information warfare, but on the verge of going "hot".

We are able to place key characters, including Trump and Q, into their respective positions and identify them with multiple lines of evidence.

We have seen that the tactics of the various actors seem to be targeting not only the perceptions of the masses (Q and the MSM), but physically attacking key civil authority in the hopes of drawing out a response (martial law), which can be further used in the information war.

In Drop Q4510, Q essentially deputized its followers into a digital public relations war  This is predicated on the understanding that perception is reality, thus what the masses "think" or "believe" is an fundamental goal of victory for all sides in this conflict.  To put it succinctly, the Globalists are using the well-established MSM as their mouthpieces, while Q is trying to yank the carpet out from under them by appealing directly to the masses.

That Q is real is no longer a question.  That Twitter found it necessary to ban or limit 157,000 accounts connected to QAnon makes it real.  This has never been done to UFO enthusiasts or JFK researchers, so Q's existence and effect are quite real and at least some factions fear its effect.

The most pressing question we must now face is not whether there is a Culture War, or a Q Anon, but which side we support, or whether we -The People - do something altogether different.
