READER NOTE: Updates appear at the end of this article.

Two questions I frequently receive from readers are, "How did Q start," and "Is it true Q recruited Trump?"

These are difficult questions, because the answers have been so muddied with myth and legend by now.  It is still possible, however, to get very close to how this all began, and to answer the question of recruitment.  The answer to this latter question is very disturbing and is one of the principle reasons I turned negative on Q.

First, how did Q begin?

As far as anyone knows, Q's first generally recognized post was on 4chan on 28 October 2017, at 15:44 EST.  This post claimed that Hillary Clinton would be arrested on the morning of 30 October 2017, and that the military was tasked with the arrest, while the National Guard (State unspecified) was on alert for both social unrest/riots and to apprehend running perpetrators.  We were told Clinton's passport had been flagged and that extradition processes had already been initiated with several countries.

We should note several details here.  Firstly, the entity posting this message is "Anonymous" without the now-ubiquitous "Q" signature; and secondly, there are 50 National Guards - one in each State - and that some were indeed activated to assist with the devastation in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria.

To trace this all back to the deepest roots requires going back  a full year before Q's first post.  Around 30 October 2016, a series of mysterious tweets appeared on the verified FBI Document Vault account.  The account itself is quite fascinating, but some of the original tweets appear to have been deleted, though there are a number of independent references to them (dead links).

In the middle of the night, 17 tweets appeared that detailed investigations of Donald Trump's father and uncle, who apparently had FBI connections.  They also released copies of the Hillary Clinton and Gen. David Petaeus investigations, as well as a copy of the FBI investigation manual.  What this ostensibly showed was the profound lack of depth in the Clinton investigation and the violations of procedure, and thus the corruption evident within the FBI.

We note the number 17, as this is a significant number in the Qniverse, because Q is the 17th letter of the English alphabet.  Also note in the linked video, Trump mentions McDill AFB, which we have connected to Q in Who Is Q?

Interestingly, one of the claims by this series of tweets was that social media and viral news had made it possible to skirt media gatekeepers and allow "insiders" to get information directly to the masses.  As with Q, this was considered a confirmed post by the time stamp of precisely 11am and including "coded" messages.

The "coded" messages were in the form of several FBI manuals, whose order and topics were said to tell a story.  For instance, the posting of the FBI's manual on health regimens was said to indicate Hillary Clinton's health issues.

In fact, the exact same language of "it's all over" and the "house of cards collapsed" used by Q appears in these tweets a full year before Q arrived.  Based on this information, little has changed in more than two years, yet the Qvians are constantly crowing how the end is nigh!

All the pieces of Q were extant a full year before Q "officially" appeared.  This implies that the Q psy-op has been modifying its message and techniques for some time, beginning during the Obama administration.  This gives us a clue that Q did not just "appear" on the scene, but was the fruit of a long process of testing how to use social media effectively to deliver propaganda.

One item I note with great interest is that these tweets appear to be the origin of the Hillary Health narrative.

This was followed by the appearance of several "government insiders" on 4chan, such as "FBIanon" and WhiteHouseAnon" and others, who reportedly had leaked information as well as specific predictions of future events.  FBIanon was generally considered credible, but for some reason, the entity that would become Q was given the most attention despite having made the above prediction that was so obviously wrong.

In any event, this series of tweets implied that Trump was recruited by FBI insiders concerned with the level of government corruption and undue influence of George Soros in militarizing police departments around the country.  It averred that Trump's uncle was well respected in the FBI and that his father was considered a patriot - and that Donald Trump was "clean".  We'll come back to that last item shortly.

This entity was said to have called itself a "Q Clearance Patriot," implying that it had top-level secret clearance (Q Clearance).  A search reveals that the only known all-access Q-Clearance in the US federal government is in the Department of Energy, which hardly seems related to military intelligence operations, though energy is certainly a highly strategic resource.

What is curious is that there are no references to "Q Clearance Patriot" in any of the 3312 Q Drops to date.  This term seems to have appeared either in posts by other "insiders" on 4chan, or in Reddit commentary well outside the preferred Q Domain.

The earliest reference I can find to the moniker "Q" being applied to this entity is in the article linked here.  The writer says, "Now let's get back to this new alleged insider, who calls himself "Q Clearance Patriot" (I'll use "Q")."  This is the earliest reference to using "Q" as short for "Q Clearance Patriot" that I can ascertain.

In this article, we note that there are references to "FBIanon" and "White House Anon," who are credited with accurate predictions of upcoming events. Reddit links are provided in the article and I will leave that judgement to the reader.

So it seems that Q was just one of several "anonymous insiders" who were posting leaks on Twitter and 4chan in the early days.

Within the scope of the model I proposed in Who Is Q?, we might think of these as separate teams working on the same goals with different approaches to see which one resonated most with the general public on the "chans".

This same article also seems to be one of the earliest references to the now-common Q Myth that Donald Trump was recruited by military intelligence to run for president in 2016.  His primary goal, it says, would be to "drain the swamp" with special focus on "pizzagate/child trafficking".  Note:

"B. Q'a [sic] overall theory (that Trump was recruited by military intelligence to stage a quiet coup to restore government integrity) fits with several things we know about the military.

"First of all, the military has a very low rate of Jewish people. For some mysterious reason, Jewish people rose to disproportionate levels of power in finance, lobbying, Hollywood, and media, but not in the military. If you look at the picture of Trump with his military team ("calm before the storm"), you see virtually no Jewish people there. FBIanon, who is widely regarded as the most credible of the 4chan insiders, said that the deep state corruption has a heavy Jewish influence."

The article header says that it was posted "1.4 years ago," as of the date of this writing,  which would place it about Novermber-December 2017, or within a month or two of Q's first appearing.  This would be confirmed by the author's reference to "Snoop Dogg's new album cover," which was released in November 2017.

We note that the article cites both Q and Anon (Apostles and Acolytes) sources as saying Trump was recruited for a "coup" against The Swamp, and that the military had pledged to protect Trump leading to his appearance of being "cool, calm and collected" in the face of widespread threats and near-constant media attacks.

By April 2018, another article avers that Dr. Jerome Corsi was approached by a group of generals in 2015, and told that the military had recruited Trump to run for president and lead the "coup" against The Swamp:

"According to veteran investigative reporter and best selling author, Dr. Jerome Corsi, he was approached three years ago by a group of generals and told that Donald Trump had been recruited by U.S. military intelligence to run in the 2016 Presidential elections, and subsequently help remove corrupt Deep State officials from positions of power. Corsi claims that QAnon represents the same group of senior military intelligence officials who are exposing the Deep State corruption and officials involved in a history of treasonous actions against the U.S. Republic."

Corsi and Alex Jones were later disavowed by Q, and not long after that, Corsi was arrested as part of Robert Mueller's Special Counsel investigation into Russian influence in the 2016 election.  The reader should see my article Jonesing For Q for extended discussion of these events.

To summarize the Q Legend so far, we have military intelligence - or was it FBI insiders? - formulating a "coup" against select groups within the US federal government, referred to as The Swamp.  The favorable status of Trump's uncle and father within the FBI is given as part of the reason he was selected.  Child trafficking and police militarization (Soros influence) were cited as two primary motivations for the coup.

Among the issues that alarmed the military was the undue influence of Jewish interests within the various agencies of government, and in external industries like media, finance and lobbying.

Thus, Q is a function of military intelligence designed to provide "insider" information to the general public and sway opinion against The Swamp, as well as provide updates on efforts to "drain the swamp" as part of an operation popularly referred to as The Storm and/or The Plan.

If we take these assumptions to be true, then some disturbing inferences fall out of them.

If Trump was indeed recruited to be the front man for a military coup within the federal government, then there must have been some means by which they could have ensured that Trump would win.  After all, Trump was probably the least likely candidate to beat Hillary Clinton, and would explain why the media and the the Clinton campaign gave so much time and attention to the Trump campaign.  They had selected Trump as their preferred opponent, thinking he would be a sure loser.  Thus, the near-absolute assurance in the media that Clinton would win the election.

This implies that somehow the Clinton campaign and the media were swayed to choose Trump as the preferred opponent.  The only other possible explanation was that Trump was selected by a "higher power," and the campaign was choreographed, with or without Clinton's knowledge and approval.  If Clinton knew, then everything we have witnesses since 2015 has been a kabuki theater to achieve some goal that we are not yet aware of.

This implies that the military had some way to "steer" the election and guarantee their selected front man would win.  In other words, it was not Russian influence that defeated Clinton, but the US military itself by manipulating the election.

If we assume that Q represents an advanced propaganda technology, as I have argued extensively in previous articles, then it is no far reach to conclude that the Q technology was used to influence voters via social media and targeted messages.

The Q Naratie that Trump was recruited includes the idea that the military had refrained from an open coup during the Obama administration, and that it would have no choice but to do so under a Clinton administration.  That places rather weighty stakes on the 2016 election outcome and would be sufficient reason to use every means available to ensure a favorable election outcome.

This Narrative also implies that The Swamp, The Storm and The Plan all refer to a concerted effort to rid the US federal government of "Jewish" influence.  This seemingly anti-Jewish, and by extention anti-Israel stance by Q would seem to be backed up by Q916, from 10 March 2018, where Q states, "We are saving Israel for last."

However, this flies in the face of Trump's actions to move the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, and to recognize Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights.

In Q137, from 12 November 2017, Q posted a list of national central banks without any other commentary.  Since "Jewish" control of Finance was established early on in the Q Narrative as being a problem, we can assume that the list of banks represents targets of some kind for The Storm/The Plan.

Another implication of all this is that military intelligence would have had to scrub Trump's background in order to leave little or no dirt for the opposition to use against him.

When one considers just how "clean" Trump has been, it seems unnatural for an individual in his position, both in public and private life.  We know that a recording was unearthed during the 2016 campaign from someone's private collection, of Trump making disparaging remarks about the behavior of women around wealthy men.  This is no secret to any worldly individual, but it did cause some momentary dust-ups in the campaign.

Other than that, the only negative information that has been uncovered by extensive Senate, House, Special Counsel, and opposition research over the past three years was the Steele Dossier, which appears to have been completely fabricated.

Are we to assume that a man who has had some very nasty and public divorces, owned a casino, owned the Miss Universe brand, dealt in highly corrupt New York real estate, and been through several bankruptcies is completely spotless?  Most of us would hardly stand up to this kind of scrutiny without some skeletons falling out of the closet.  Even Mother Teresa was not without sin.

To date, there is no unquestionable proof of shady business dealings, financial hanky-panky, nor underhanded anti-competitive practices.  The most visible accusation of sexual misconduct was from Stormy Daniels (interesting first name in this context), who lost her suit and was saddled with $300,000 in legal defense fees and her lawyer, Michael Avenatti, has recently been indicted on multiple counts of fraud, embezzlement, tax evasion and various other crimes.

It seems highly unlikely that Trump is an angel, so someone (military intel?) has scrubbed his past to ensure that nothing of any consequence could be uncovered, no matter how deeply someone might dig.  I am not attempting to sully the man, but only wish to point out his unnatural cleanliness.  It seems almost impossible to become a multi-billionaire with real estate and media empires, and not have something to hold over him.

The only other possibility that comes to mind is that the Clinton campaign, media heads and other public watchdogs have agreed not to publish anything damaging about Trump.  It seems far more likely that his past was scrubbed.

Which leads us to the question: does military intelligence have something on Trump to ensure his compliance?

It seems reasonable to assume that if military intel recruited Trump as front man, scrubbed his past, rigged an election, and is providing unprecedented protection for he and his family, then that same group must have insurance that Trump will act as needed to achieve the stated goals (The Plan).  Thus, Trump is trapped and is not making his own decisions.  He is performing a scripted function on behalf of a well shaded group whose actual identity and motives we can only guess at.

These are very disturbing inferences, and I make no secret that they are inferences and suppositions.  However, they fall naturally out of the information we have, and which I have documented extensively across a great many articles on topic.  While we have little irrefutable evidence to back up these assumptions, we also have none to allay them.

I have proven that Q is a psy-op, and argued that it is indeed a function of military intel, and have proposed who, where and how Q functions.  Given that psy-ops function in a murky world of half-truths and outright lies, we cannot - at this point - be sure of any of these data points.

However, if we take Q and the Anons (Apostles and Acolytes) at face value, then the questions raised here must be addressed, or accept that a growing social and political movement is based on highly deceptive and even frightening foundations.

It is well known and even assumed that most political leaders are controlled by special interests.  Even a cursory glance at donor lists tells us unequivocally that these leaders are beholden to private and corporate interests that don't necessarily mesh with our own.

Though the popular image is that Trump is free of influence because he used his own fortune and did not kow-tow to special interests to get elected, we can plainly see that this may not be the case.  In fact, having a leader in the nation's highest office who is literally owned and operated by the military is anathema to American ideals and simply dangerous to an open and functional republic.

It is at this point that we would do well to rehearse the words of Dwight Eisenhauer in his final speech to the nation as president:

"Now this conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence—economic, political, even spiritual—is felt in every city, every Statehouse, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet, we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications."

If Q represents a group of military leaders who have become alarmed in recent years over the direction of the nation, and have just barely resisted the urge to launch an outright coup and establish a provisional junta, why now?

In the last 70 years, we have had assassinations, illegal wars and a central bank quite obviously robbing the wealth of a nation.  There has been ample reason for a military intervention to "protect and defend the Constitution."  Yet, only now has the military seen fit to intervene?  The JFK assassination alone was clearly a coup d'etat, but it was the Obama administration and the possibility of a second Clinton administration that compelled this action?

Doesn't pass the smell test.

For Q followers, it is high time to question blind allegiance to this entity.  For the rest of us, it is well past time to question what it is that claims to protect the president and to push into the open whether the Legend of Q is true and what influence does it have over political leadership.

While Qvians sincerely believe they know who/what Q is, and what the agenda behind it is, in fact they have no clue other than what a disembodied anonymous poster has told them.

The rest of us may blithely dismiss Q as a "conspiracy theory," but the fact remains that it is having a very real effect on public discourse and the decisions made by a significant number of individuals within the electorate.

As I have outlined here, the questions, assumptions and rational conclusions that fall out of the available data are disturbing and need to be addressed.  Both the responsible media (such as it is) and we, the unenthralled public, must push this issue to the front and get whatever facts we can on the table in order to make informed decisions as the next election cycle heats up.

It is reasonable to assume that Qvians and Q itself will have an influence on the 2020 elections.  Can we afford to be uncritical and uninformed on the nature and agenda of this entity?

In conclusion, we now know that Q is just the latest "version" of an effort dating to at least 2015, and possibly 2014 and before.  It was originally thought to be coming from the FBI, then later military intelligence, but in both cases, Trump was recruited to run for president.  The origins of much of the Q Legend appear pre-2017, with coded messages, synchronized time stamps, and so forth; however, it seems to be Trump's contribution to push catch phrases like "The Storm," "The Plan," and "Where we go one we go all."  I say this because Trump is an undisputed marketing genius, so he would naturally formulate tag lines and catch phrases that would stick in the mind, much like "Make America Great Again."

It appears that the original Q efforts centered around Twitter, however the use of censorship algorithms likely made this outlet untenable, so the "chans" were chosen for their non-censorship policies, with Trump using Twitter to issue companion posts, as the White House would be less likely to encounter blatant censorship there.

We have seen the origin of at least one meme that weighed heavily on the Clinton campaign - the health issue.  This implies more waiting to be found, and thus a fingerprint of efforts to steer the election in spite of the MSM constant drumbeat in favor of Clinton.  I suspect many more of these memes are waiting to be found in the vast volume of pre-election electronic chatter.

The lynch pin of the Q psy-op is the issue of pizzagate/child trafficking (see note below).  No matter how far afield one wanders in this investigation, one always stumbles over this underlying issue.  It is a matter of faith in Q that this issue will finally be exposed and the entire world power structure based on it will collapse under its weight.  This is certainly a key feature in the belief that there are 90,000+ Sealed Indictments against participants in this scandal.  To be seen...

Altogether, this reinforces my assertion that Q is a psy-op and that it has undergone a fairly extensive development process, with significant input from Trump's marketing background.  This is an emerging technology, which is still being perfected and will likely play an enormous role in the upcoming 2020 elections.

Given the history of Q, it stands to reason that it will continue to evolve and become more effective.  We would do well to keep a close eye on it going forward.

Oh, and we have now traced Q's appearance to within two years - almost to the day - that Cicada 3301 first appeared and simultaneous with Cicada's 3rd Puzzle, which also appeared on Twitter.

More to come.

In  response to reader comments, we are well aware that Wikipedia is completely untrustworthy as a primary source of information.  However, we have found the External Links section to be quite valuable on many occasions.  With regard to Pizzagate, the original, authoritative and most trustworthy source for this information is the Podesta Email released by WikiLeaks.

UPDATE 21 APRIL 2019: I've found conclusive evidence that Q Drops are edited and past Drops are deleted due to "mistakes" by Q.  The video linked here refers to several Drops from 1 Aug 18, that no longer exist on "official" Q boards.  I have archived the video to maintain a permanent record, as it will likely disappear soon, as well.

Deep Throat v. Q

UPDATE 5SEP2018: As if on cue (Q), Woodward AND Bernstein (affectionately known in the Inner Circle as Woodstein) have both reappeared on the scene just in time for the Kavanaugh hearings.  Yes, we are taking credit for forecasting this one.
Bob Woodward
Carl Bernstein

Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear during the halcyon days of Watergate in the early 1970s.  For those too young to remember, Watergate was a political crisis in which President Richard Nixon was brought down by a cover-up to hide a group of CIA operatives who broke into the Democratic National Committee's (DNC) national offices at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C., to dig up dirt on George McGovern and other Democrat candidates.

If this doesn't sound familiar, please click over to CNN for 10 minutes before reading on.

One of the major features of that crisis was the reporting of two Washington Post hacks named Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward (played by Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford in the movie).  The two reporters had several meetings with a mysterious source who called himself (or was called) Deep Throat.  The identity of Deep Throat has never been revealed, though there are reams of speculation, with a dozen or so books written on the topic.  Leads and information provided by Deep Throat led to evidence and key revelations that brought down the president and put a number of folks in jail, as well as making Nixon's name the stuff of bogeymen dreams for future politicians for decades.

I could wax verbose on Watergate and frankly, the jury of history is still out, since the reporting on the crisis was so heavily skewed to the Left that there has been little balance.  It will take years still to sort it all out, but one key feature we know for sure is that Hillary Clinton began her political career as a junior lawyer investigating that scandal.

Skip forward 40 years, and we are watching a similar, if not far more massive scandal unfold in Washington, D.C.  This time, it is a DNC cabal, centered around the very same Hillary Clinton, who have been caught trying to manipulate the 2016 election by fabricating evidence to justify surveillance on an opposition candidate, and then perpetrating a massive cover-up using government agencies - specifically the Department of Justice and the FBI.

The delicious irony here is obvious.

What makes this newest scandal so amazing is the vast scope of the criminality - only now coming to light - and the use of government resources across all branches, such as the FISA court, Congressional committees, NSA and other intelligence agencies to perpetrate the crimes.  One cannot overestimate the breadth and depth of this scandal.  If it goes even a fraction as far as the Watergate investigation, it will bring down hundreds of government bureaucrats, a former president and a former presidential candidate - the latter of whom was part of the effort that destroyed Nixon.

History does't repeat, but it rhymes.

What makes this scandal even more mind-blowing (in the truest sense of the term) is that it threatens to expose a decades-old, and quite possibly a centuries old operation to blackmail and extort politicians around the world.

I am referring, of course, to the PedoGate scandal, so named in the American tradition of relating every scandal to Watergate, which is oddly poetic in this case.

The use of compromising information to control politicians is one of the oldest tricks in the book.  Feeding off of their human foibles and weaknesses, secretive groups lure politicians into compromising situations, then use the traps to control them by threatening to expose the dirt.

Records of this trick pre-date the Roman Empire, but the modern form is so insidious and demonic as to cause most people to collapse in fits of incredulity.  The tools to obtain and use the compromising information are sitting in front of you as you read this.

For likely hundreds of years, a small group of interests have controlled most of the world's political entities by luring politicians into pedophilia, a crime so vile that no one could survive being exposed.

Through this nefarious means, global events have been steered by a relatively small number of people, who have been able to control entire nations by simply compromising key political and business figures.

It works very simply but effectively.  Play the game and your pockets and bank accounts will swell, and you have a position of power and influence for life.  Don't play the game, and your name will be dragged into the dirt for all eternity and you will spend your remaining years swabbing toilets at the local correctional facility.  Just sell your soul and the deposits will start first thing tomorrow morning.

The problem is, you may be asked to fall on your sword for folks higher up the chain of command.  Kind of a slimy multi-level marketing scheme.

Because of the nature and scope of this scandal, and its rhyme with Watergate, it makes sense that a Deep Throat character would emerge, but instead of using two hack reporters from a disgraced newspaper organization owned by one of the most corrupt people in the world, this new Deep Throat would utilize the internet and turn all of us - or those willing to listen - into the Neo-Woodward-and-Bernsteins.

Enter stage right: Q and the Anons, which would make a killer band name. Think of the Anons as Sherlock Holmes' Baker Street Irregulars, or Buckaroo Bonzai's Blue Blazer Irregulars. The drops remind me of the Orphan Annie Secret Decoder Ring, distributed in your jar of Ovaltine, and the secret messages at the end of every radio broadcast.

I personally have no idea what to make of Q.  I have listened to the gaggle of YouTubers out there posing, postulating and preening on the topic.  I watched as Alex Jones and Jerome Corsi imploded all over the story.  I have read all the posts, also known as "drops" and "crumbs".  I have examined the so-called "winks", where someone will demand proof of Q's proximity to Donald Trump by getting the president to say or write something that can be directly linked to the request. (see "tippy-top" around last Easter)

I have to admit, I am intrigued.

But I am also very leery.  Q purports to be military intelligence and part of a team that recruited Trump to run for president in order to avoid an all-out military coup d'etat in the United States, against the gaping void of corruption in Washington known as the Clinton-Obama cabal.  Q is supposedly 'dropping' hints that allow researchers to find evidence hidden in plain sight, as well as predict actions the president will take in order to gain credibility and prove to everyone that Trump is keeping his promise to "hang" the cabal.

It seems a long shot to recruit Trump as the last resort before a full military coup, but then the whole scandal is predicated on Clinton assuming she would win, as well.  Touche.

To say that Q has all the ear-marks of a psy-op, or minimally a disinformation campaign, is an understatement.  The plot sounds like something straight out of a Tom Clancy novel with healthy doses of Robert Ludlum and Ian Fleming thrown in.

In other words, it's all just a bit too convenient and sensational.

But - and there's always that "but" hanging out there in the mists - suppose Q is real and the promised anti-coup is actually underway in Washington and worldwide?  Suppose this scandal threatens not just the Clinton-Obama cabal, but European, Asian, and Arab leaders, and even the Pope himself?

Certainly, for anyone with their eyes wide open, there are piles of events going on globally that can be interpreted to be part of a massive effort to expose the cabal that has controlled so much of our history and the world for centuries.  Events in Washington, Saudi Arabia, Europe, the Vatican and elsewhere seem to indicate a panic at highest levels of the dark side.

For years, many writers, including myself, have speculated on a perceived angst gripping the halls of power.  Perhaps they have been aware, or at least perceived a global shift in what we 'little people' are thinking and doing.  Perhaps they have tools that can predict mass movements and take the proverbial temperature of the entire human race.  Perhaps they have foreseen a swelling of ranks on the part of us wild-eyes conspiracy nuts who don't buy the public narrative.

Perhaps...

Perhaps Donald Trump really is a recruited face-man for the white hats.  Perhaps Q really is a Deep Throat, cueing all of us to search for specific information and watch certain events.  Perhaps the great Battle Between Good and Evil has begun in earnest.  There's a whopper-load of conditionals and speculations loaded into a handful of sentences, which would be better discussed around a table at the local pub over several long nights.

The moniker "Q" strikes me as a choice designed to activate Star Trek fanboys who live in Mom's basement and live for researching minutae and building stories around them.

The use of anonymous handles, 8-Chan and crypto keys seems well chosen to activate the conspiracy hounds and comic book buffs.

The element of military intelligence and spies seems perfectly selected to activate the political intrigue crowd who live for cat-and-mouse tales.

And the addition of PedoGate seems carefully selected to hook just about everyone else.

I offer no insights into who or what Q is.  I can only observe the project design and the influence it is having across the NetSphere.  As I have said, the phenomenon intrigues me from the standpoint of a mass behavioral study.

One thing I know for certain is that if Q is real and the things Q 'drops' and the 'crumbs' it leaves are real, then it will be the stuff of legends for decades, even centuries to come.  If we assume that everything about Q is true and accurate, then we are looking at a profound and probably unprecedented shift in Humanity and the way the world operates.  Q will become legendary in a way that Deep Throat only dreamed of, and the resulting crash of systems will make Watergate look like a perambulation in the park on Sunday afternoon.

Mostly what it reminds me of is the CICADA 3301 phenomenon.  If you are not familiar with the Cicada puzzle, I highly recommend reading up on it.  Many aspects of that global phenomenon match almost perfectly with the Q.  It may even have been a training or test run for the Q.

In any event, Q and the surrounding events and individuals bear watching from an historical perspective.  If my instincts are as accurate as I believe they are, then this Q phenomenon will be something our grandchildren and great-grandchildren will ask us about.

And if not, then it's wildly entertaining to watch.  It may become a Ph.D. paper or two for behavioral scientists if nothing else.

Either way, those of us who watch these things will learn a number of valuable lessons for future generations to ponder.

Bumbledicks, Pizza And Congresscritters

As usual, the Bumbledick GeezerMedia has set out to blame guns for the shooting of two cops, a congresscritter and two other people who aren't getting any attention.

So let's get this straight...the Bumbledick (Democrats) GeezerMedia (print, broadcast) has been on a year-long campaign to radicalize the Know-Nothing Bumbledicks in America, including calling for and actually dramatizing violence against the Bucketheads (Republicans).  When they finally trigger someone to pick up a gun and shoot, they get all bent out of shape on the availability of guns.  Do I have that right?

Both the shooter and the complicit GeezerMedia have shown a major flaw in their reasoning, if one can apply that term here.  They believe that guns are the reason for violence, not one of many tools for it.

This is obvious in the results of the shooting.  The shooter got off well over 50 rounds.  I watched the video several times and counted the pops before the cops arrived.  In this literal hail of bullets, the shooter only managed to injure five people.  So much for one shot-one kill.  The Big Prize was shooting a Congressional Leader type in the hip.

What this tells me is that the Bumbledicks honestly think that just waving a gun around and pulling the trigger kills people.  It's the gun's fault right?  If that were the case, there'd be a whole lot of dead people at the end of the shooting - 30 would be an acceptable ratio with that many shots.

Guns don't kill people.  Trained shooters with properly functioning tools who control their breathing and heart rates and take careful aim at kill points (head, chest) kill people.  The shooter in the park clearly knew nothing about guns and believed the Bumbledick hysteria that the guns did all the work.  All he had to do was carry it and pull the trigger and the guns and bullets would magically do the rest.

Another thing that was obvious in the video of the scene was that I get nearly every one of the cowering bystanders wished they had a gun at that moment.  It took cops a full 10 minutes to drop their coffee and donuts and get to the scene.  Surely, the congresscritter with the gushing hip wound dragging himself away from the shooter dearly wished he was armed.

The thing that struck me, though, was the pattern here.  Lone nut takes gun, goes on rampage, gets killed so he can't testify in open court.  At least since the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, this has been a pattern in US politics.  John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, Sirhan Sirhan, John Hinckley (&c ad nauseam) have all been completely isolated from all other interests and contacts, acting completely on their own, with no further conspiracy involved.

Yet, the congresscritter who was shot - Steve Scalise - was supporting a bill called the "Frederick Douglas" bill, that directly attacked trafficking of children for sex - i.e., PizzaGate.

Ah, remember PizzaGate?  That's the scandal that almost broke based on comments in John Podesta's Clinton email that were veiled references to child sex.  Seth Rich was offed for releasing those email, the federal investigation got quickly buried, and the Frederick Douglas bill is being trounced, even to the point of killing (or trying to) congresscritters.

As with all conspiracies at this level, there are multiple layers upon layers.  As Jack Ruby said about the JFK assassination, the rabbit hole was deep and dangerous and no one wanted to go there.  Same with PizzaGate.

Blackmail is the oldest game in politics.  Compromise a public figure and you own them for life.  They get their most animalistic desires fed on a regular basis, and you get control of governments without your face being all over the media.  The word blackmail dates to the 1500s in Scotland, but the practice is far older than that.

Child sex trafficking is one of the most effective and widely used forms of control across the globe today.  Even the hint of it can bring down kings and presidents, and that is the idea.  Organizations like Child Protective Services "disappear" children into a slimy underworld where they are traded for access and control by the real leaders of the world - names you and I will likely never know.  If you don't play by their rules, you get the Anthony Weiner treatment.  If you try to stop it, you get the Steve Scalise treatment.

To hide the tracks of the conspiracy, a left-wing Bumbledick was activated and steered to the appropriate target by...whomever.  It was important to shut down his support (as Majority Whip) of the Frederick Douglas bill.  Only problem with the plan is that Bumbledicks are notorious afraid of guns and have been told for decades that the guns kill, not the shooters.

Fortunately, the plan failed miserably, though if I were Scalise's family, I would have someone watching every move by the hospital staff.  Amazing how survivable wounds can suddenly kill someone.  Just ask Seth Rich.

In the end, the Virginia shooting is another one of those many-layered conspiracies that can easily be spun in a hundred different directions to cover the tracks of the real perpetrators.  Gun control, crazy Bumbledicks and other stories are perfect examples of the effort to hide the PizzaGate tracks.  Hopefully, none of us Rubes will notice the connections.

There is another, equally deep level to this story, and that is the control the GeezerMedia still has over the minds of so many people.  The constant barrage of images showing politicians getting killed (Public Theater's Julius Caesar and Kathy Griffin's antics to whit) is having an effect on the masses, whether we acknowledge it or not.  But that's a story I have covered incessantly for years.

Do yourself a favor - turn off and unplug the TeeVee.

When Terror Strikes

It is both shocking and entertaining.

Shocking because I never expected the Empire to collapse so quickly and over such piddling issues, and entertaining because of the circus of finger-pointing and the puffball Street Meat Media hyperventilation all over itself.

I guess I always figured the US would collapse by degrees - a little here, and little there - and that the issues would be a bit more serious, say like the economy or something.  Never in my wildest dreams did I think that the collapse would be over completely fabricated issues with the internal factions spying on each other.  This show makes Watergate look sedate by comparison.

Don't know about you, but as far as I am concerned, the whole Russian thing is a red herring.  I mean, hell, the Obama State Department set up the meeting between Jeff Sessions and the Russian ambassador while Sessions was a Senator.  If he had been mentioned as a Trump appointee at the time, it was only in the most theoretical sense.

In any case, meeting ambassadors is hardly a nefarious activity.  I've met the Russian ambassador to Indonesia on numerous occassions, even going to the official residence a couple of times for function and attending National Day celebrations one year.  It's part of the job on both sides to entertain and be entertained, perhaps even discuss a little business.

Everyone pointing a finger has one pointed right back.

The real cause of all this, and the thing that not one breathless puffball has or will mention is the fact that over 1,700 pedophiles have been arrested in the past two months, and the arrests are getting higher and higher up the political food chain.

Yes, the real cause for all this wailing and gnashing of teeth is that the (very) long-standing network of baby-bangers and kiddie killers is under dire threat by the Trump DOJ and FBI.  Trump has put his finger on a live wire and the current is coming from all directions in the halls of power.

The pedophile issue cuts across party lines, involves big names at all levels of power, and most shockingly gets into boardrooms and bankster dens all over the world.  The evil bastards involved will rather collapse the US and bring the entire world to its knees than have their dirty little secret get exposed.  If it gets loose, it will bring down royalty, celebrities, captains of industry, and nearly every center of power and control in the world.

It's that serious.

Pedophilia among the upper echelons serves several purposes.  One, it demonstrates to themselves how much power they have, to be able to snatch children off the streets, use them for pleasure and kill them with impunity.  Two, it seals the inner circle as a bond of silence, since no one would dare rat on another out of fear that they all will go down.  And three, it serves a dark purpose as a kind of majick, which regardless of what us reasonable people think, they actually take very seriously.

In the first case, these (for lack of a better term) people isolate themselves with their own hubris.  Thinking they have command over life and death, and the ability to use human beings for their entertainment, they feel powerful and above all others on the planet.  The one major weakness they have, though, is the ever-present fear of being exposed, and so they seek to expand the bondage to as many people in as many fields as they can to prevent exposure.

In the second case, pedophilia creates a bond of allegiance among these creatures.  Their dark secret becomes their feeling of belonging, since their degenerate personalities make them abhorrent to most of us.  Like anyone, they crave a sense of belonging, but instead of creating the belonging out of fraternity or genuine like, they must use this horror as a shared experience to create a foul replica of normal relationships.

In the final case, these creatures have so deluded with their feelings of superiority that they have come to attribute their success to the imbibing of "spirit" from the lives they destroy.  They have convinced themselves that a causal relationship exists through some form of ritualistic soul eating, thus reinforcing their belief system.

This system has existed for centuries, maybe even millennia, and has been used to create and reinforce a tight cabal of slimy characters who have remained hidden due to a successful campaign of mutual fear.

However, beginning with the revelations of abuse within the Roman church, and spreading through the Jimmy Saville episode in the UK, and now coming to light with PizzaGate, the walls are closing in on these sub-human creatures.  So afraid are they of exposure that they will create any diversion, including war and mayhem, to keep the shadow across their depravity.

Stanley Kubrick had intended a series of films depicting and exposing these grotesque characters.  Full Metal Jacket dramatized the mind control.  The Shining showed us the initiation.  Eyes Wide Shut exposed the ritualistic nature.  The final film, A.I.: Artificial Intelligence would have thrown light on the pedophilia, though after his death Steven Spielberg quickly obfuscated the theme with an inane oddly symbolic Pinocchio story with the subtle message that it was all lies.

As rational and stable humans, we are now tasked with ignoring the diversionary tactics of Russiophobia, Muslim invasion and economic collapse.  These are all intended to prevent us from looking in the one direction that can and will destroy the entire cabal: pedophilia.  The fact that the Street Meat Media have steadfastly ignored PizzaGate and the 1,700 arrests in the past two months is a sure sign that the elite are terrified and all the furor around and against Trump has, at its core, genuine terror on the part of the cabal.

Trump is truly immaterial to us, though he is a lightning rod for them.  If Trump's only positive effect on the world is to expose the pedophile network that is the ruling elites, then history will consider his presidency to have been a roaring success.

We normal humans have a bias against exposing deep, painful truths.  We would rather busy ourselves with daily life and ignore the elephant squatting squarely in the middle of the room.  However, our species can never advance until we have finally and completely eradicated this pus at the center of society's festering wound.

If you live in the States, then take a hard look at the 2016 election map at the beginning of today's column.  Notice those isolated blue areas.  Those are the centers of the network for the Western Hemisphere: the LA entertainment/media center, and the New York banking center.  Then look at the red areas.  Those are the normal humans who must be informed and activated to keep pressing the issue, no matter how much pain the cabal inflicts on us.

This is the key to the true revolution.   

This Ain't Your Daddy's Pizza

"Let all the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch out!"

Thus declared Claudius, at both the beginning and end of Robert Graves' brilliant I, Claudius.

At the end of empires, the foul rot that lies at the heart of power is always revealed.  Ultimately, the revelation is at least a proximal cause of the collapse, but equally is it the moral and ethical decay it represents a reason for implosion.

Whether historically or contemporaneously, all centers of power and wealth rot out.  The debauchery of power always eats itself like a parasite until the host dies.  It is as inevitable as sunset.

Throughout history, one of the primal signals that an empire was about to collapse has been the complete abandonment of propriety and moral standards.  Rome, of course, serves as an iconic symbol of such decay.  That empire only survived past the first century anno domini because of the mass conversion of the empire to Christianity and the return of some moral compass.  That was enough to keep the empire going for another three centuries, until even the Roman Church had corrupted.

Only one thing is more sure than the decay of empire, and it is that the decay is commensurate with the scale of wealth and power that the empire wields.  The greater the pile of gold on which the emperor sits, the more fetid and debased will be the spirits that dwell at the seat of power.

At its lowest point, the heart of the empire resorts to sacrificing innocents lives, drinking their blood and sexual practices that would make even the most liberal mind reel in shock and horror.  At this point, there are no longer factions or divisions; you are either in or out.

Empires also work like secret societies: in order to ensure the absolute fealty of its members, they must commit the most heinous crimes in front of witnesses who will use it to destroy any member who steps out of line.  The lure of unending riches and plate-fulls of the most forbidden fruits is more than even the most resolute of minds can resist.  No matter how idealistic one's initial state, unbridled power will drag one down.  After all, who of us would not eventually taste the fruit if all consequences of law and shame were removed?  Once tasted, then there could be no turning back.

At which point we come to PizzaGate.

Back during the waning days of the US presidential election, WikiLeaks began dumping thousands of email, most especially that of John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign manager.  Researchers began noticing a patter of odd pizza references that were strangely out of context.  It was a police investigator in New York City who mentioned that pizza references were common code among pedophiles, which he had investigated for several years.

At that time, I noted on the Farcebook feed that folks should keep an eye on PizzaGate.  It was going to become a major story, and indeed it is, with at least one major news story per week cropping up in various parts of the US.  There are a lot of dogged private investigators out there, some who have been at this story since at least the early 1980s, who needed just that bit of information to finally pry the lid off the rotten core of empire.

The story broke a couple of years ago with the revelations concerning Jimmy Seville, a UK celebrity who happened to be known for his "charity" work for children.  Despite fierce resistance, that investigation has already ensnared a number of the elite, including now a former Prime Minister.

Americans have blissfully ignored the story until now, and even in the face of mounting evidence and even several arrests, most continue to ignore or deny that such a thing could exist at the heart of their empire.  When faced with information too horrible to contemplate, the mind will default to the "everything is just fine" position in protection mode.

The fact is, though, that pedophilia and human sacrifice have appeared repeatedly throughout recorded history wherever wealth and power condense.  As if under some spell from outside, those at the centers of power come to believe that having sex with, drinking the blood of and sacrificing the lives of innocents will transfer even more power and perhaps even eternal life to their blackened hearts.

Throughout the Western world, so-called Child Protective Services (CPS) have been set up to procure children for the elite.  In the Middle East, especially Afghanistan, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, Bacha Bazi boys have been around for at least as long as Islam, and probably much longer.  In Asia, Thailand is notable for providing children for sex.  Institutions like the Roman Church have long been seething cesspools of child abuse, but most major European churches are involved in the system.

Most of the children are street urchins or orphans.  They would not be missed if they disappeared.  The Western CPS systems evolved to identify abandoned and abused children who could vanish without much fuss, and the legal system was adjusted to allow these organizations the right to take children from their families under an entire spectrum of sanctioned conditions.  They identify potential sources of fresh meat, then literally prey on them until they can find some means to take the children into custody and place them with "foster" families, where they are conditioned for the elite "market".

PizzaGate and its various related scandals around the world, threaten to expose one of the oldest and best kept secrets of the global elite.  This practice is one of the most vital sources of power that the elite have, and they will do virtually anything to protect themselves and their sicknesses.  It is their most vulnerable point, but also the source of their cohesiveness.  It binds them together more tightly than social institution, like marriage.

There is a literal war being carries out before our collective eyes.  Some factions of the elite are still human and find the practice revolting, but they have their own vulnerabilities that can be exposed.  It is a stalemate of mutual destruction: sociopath versus sociopath.

Nearly every major news story right now has at its core this elite perversion.  Middle Eastern wars on "terror" are an ideal means of creating orphans and displaced children.  The children are shipped around under the guise of "refugee relocation" programs, where they can disappear into "social services" networks with almost no oversight or accountability.  Once the elite are done with them, they are simply killed off in ritual murders and no one is the wiser.

Those who think Trump will champion an investigation have not considered the significance of the so-called "Russian prostitute" dossier that made the rounds.  It was most likely fake, but it served notice on Trump that he is vulnerable regardless of his innocence in any given accusation. Even if the elite have no substantial charge (highly unlikely), they have the means to fabricate evidence and disseminate it within hours to their media blow-hards.

The die is cast.  The poisons in the mud will hatch out.  It is the nature of crumbling empires to have their darkest secrets brought to light.  It will not be simple or without collateral damage, though.  Deep secrets, like the elite pedophile system, will cause widespread injury and death as they struggle to keep their most vile practices under wraps.

This is by far not the only scandal that is coming to light, but it is the most visceral.  Economic manipulation, vast deception and wars for profits are horrible, but at least comprehensible to most people.  The elite pedophilia is something that cannot be repaired or covered up.  Once made common knowledge, the vast majority of normal people will demand blood.  Once the lid is off this can of worms, there is no going back.

Stay alert.  Not only has PizzaGate just begun, the depth and breadth of its revelations will shock even the most jaded mind.

As Claudius Caesar admonished, "Let all he poisons that lurk in the mud hatch out."

Peeking Behind The Curtain

Well, here we go with the top news stories of 2016.  Yesterday, we covered the various passings that have marked the year that was, from the great to the small.  Today, we want to focus on the more entertaining parts of pop culture, namely the headlines.

Our take on things is, of course, a bit different.  We focus on the stories that will likely have far-reaching impact on the future, and believe it not, we don't think the Trump presidency is one of them.  In fact, the entire election cycle of 2016, while being wildly entertaining and providing gobs of grist for the mill, will like a Hollywood blockbuster have little or no nutritional value for the brain.

Instead, we will focus on some stories that flew in under the radar, but which will likely come back to haunt us in major ways in the near-to-far future.

The first thing we focus on also happens to be one of the most recent: the assassination of Andrey Karlov, the Russian Ambassador to Turkey.  Likely related to that event was the downing of a Russian jet over the Black Sea with a Russian military choir on its way to Syria to entertain the troops for Christmas and New Year.

This event is a fire starter - a slow burn in the coal scuttle that will eventually leap into dramatic flame, much like the assassination of Arch Duke Ferdinand in Sarajevo that touched off World War One.  To any aware observer, this event couldn't be more obvious.  It was meant, as so many other events over the past two decades, to goad Russia into war.  The provocations include the Ukraine mess, NATO camping out on Russian borders, "friendly fire" incidents in Syria, and the overt acts of war generally called the Economic Sanctions set in place because 98% of Crimean people voted to rejoin the Russian Federation and Russia accepted.

And all this against a country that just a few years ago was America's best buddy in Asia after the Wall Fall.  In fact, Russia was seen as the foil by which the West could keep China down on the farm.

Well, it didn't work out that way.  Instead, Russia and China teamed up to form the BRICSA group, who announced their intention to start an alternative financial clearing system that threatens the Dollar Hegemony and the SWIFT cabal.  Since that time, the Western media, mouthpieces for the Shadow Government, have been steadily driving Russia's image into the dirt - or at least trying.

Despite all the humiliations and public trashings the West has heaped on Russia, they have shown remarkable restraint, preferring instead to fight through media and public relations, figuring the "whipping boy" image garners sympathy and admiration from the rest of the world, which it certainly seems to have done.  However, their patience is not boundless.

Certainly, the murder of a top diplomat in a key nation, plus the jet downing, must be pressing on the Kremlin's last nerve.  We can assume that investigators will thoroughly document proof of Western involvement, and then take their case to the world in the hopes of stirring significant ill will towards the US, and most definitely put it on the table when negotiating with the Trump administration, which has promised to lighten up a bit.  In any event, a significant story to watch.

Another important story, and one that will have long-lasting effects on all our daily lives, is the so-called "fake news" phenomenon.  In addition to being used to tar and feather Russia (again), it is also part of a much larger effort to take full control of the internet, a process that was begun with Obama's signing over ICANN to the UN in October, plus rise and empowerment of WIPO, have touched off a rapidly growing effort to shut down free speech on the internet.

There is nothing more dangerous to human liberty than giving any government body the ability to control how and what its opposition can say.  This ability is especially powerful when "intellectual property" rights can be used to control people's ability to cite reference materials in their writings and speech.  This combination can literally shut down free inquiry, independent reporting and academic research all in one fell swoop.  The associated rise of "fact checkers" and "information arbiters" is a very dangerous game in which almost everyone loses.

Every discovery ever made in human history came from rearranging existing facts and applying novel interpretations to them.  If one can control the facts that are widely available and the interpretations that are deemed "acceptable," one effectively controls the mind of humanity and certainly shuts down any voyages of discovery in the general population, not to mention political opposition.

One to watch, and fight tooth and nail, going forward.

The next major story is one that is truly bubbling just under the surface, and there is a full-on effort to stifle it, as it could literally destroy the global ruling class.  The story is, of course, Pizzagate.

Wikipedia immediately labeled this story a "conspiracy theory" and says it has been debunked.  The now-discredited Snopes jumped all over it and declared it a non-item.  "News" outlets have all but shut the story up, except to rant on about a "lone gunman" who walked into Comet Ping Pong in an obvious attempt to discredit the story.  In other words, it's a very dangerous story to certain groups who desperately want it to go away.

The story broke during WikiLeaks' release of John Podesta's email during the presidential campaign.  There were numerous references to "pizza" and other code words that are known to be pedophile jargon.  The email mentioned several pizza restaurants around the US, specifically Comet Ping Pong in Washington, D.C., and the references were connected to other mentions of "spirit cooking," a truly sick form of black magic

This story is a huge deal.  Dozens of researchers have spent decades documenting child-sex rings at the highest levels of power.  Though nearly snuffed out, the Jimmy Seville case almost blew the lid off of the story.  Before that, researchers have been tracing this practice since the 1950s, showing that Child Protection Services, kidnapping rings and other sources provided thousands of children each year to service high-level clients.

The practice has been tied to the Roman Church abuse of children dating back to the 1800s in Canada, the Bohemian Grove antics of the US power elite, black magic rituals, and the use of pedophilia as a means to ensure silence among the participants.  There are also long-standing rumors that Stanley Kubrick was murdered for the subtle and not-so-subtle revelations in his films The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut.  If proof of this practice were ever to see the light of day, it would cause a global and violent backlash against the ruling classes that would change the course of history.  Naturally, it must be squelched with every possible effort.

The Podesta email provided one of the biggest breaks ever in research of the practice.  It named places and people, gave code words, and have led to the discovery of all sorts of corroborating evidence, such as advertising, that clearly imply nefarious activities of a most grotesque nature.

Needless to say, the people who research this subject are tireless and stay on it for decades.  With this kind of information coming to the public, it has reinvigorated them in a way that Jimmy Seville's story did and shows the global nature of the problem.  This story will not go away anytime soon, and there are likely to be more revelations coming to light over the coming year and beyond.

Finally, the major story of the century will most likely be the weather, and this year the New Ice Age started to become apparent.  Over the year, oddly cold spells, strange snow events, heavy rains, record frosts, and other events signalled the coming Big Chill, though the constant brow-beating of Global Warming over the past three decades, combined with repeated scandals of data manipulation, have either got most people unable to see it, or simply burned out on the whole climate debate.

As the story goes, this past solar cycle has been unnervingly quiet.  The sunspot counts are way down and solar activity of all kinds have been waning for the past three years.  This has caused Earth's magnetic shield to weaken and destabilize, with the poles wandering closer to the equator on their way to converging sometime over Indonesia.

At the same time, the weaker shield has allowed much higher levels of cosmic radiation to penetrate Earth's atmosphere resulting in higher evaporation rates from the oceans.  This higher moisture content in the atmosphere meets with rapidly cooling temperatures due to reduced solar output, causing vast flooding and snow events worldwide, including the most recent heavy snows in North Africa, one of the hottest regions on Earth.

Careful reading of food quality and price reports shows a steady decrease in food quality combined with a steady increase in prices across the board for grain, fruit and leafy vegetables.  Harvest outputs have been declining over the past three years due to flooded fields and frost damage.

This story will become increasingly visible over the coming couple of years as the Sun enters a periodic minimum causing global temperatures to drop rapidly and a whole host of problems to crop up as a result.  Though attempts are and will continue to be made to blame Global Warming and human activity.  Cooling is, however, a far worse problem that warming and has nothing to do with anything humans are doing.

The extent of this story depends entirely on the Sun.  A severe minimum combined with Earth's magnetic poles reversing would likely be catastrophic.  Because so much time and money has been wasted on the Global Warming fairy tale, we are ill-prepared for what's coming, with declining food supplies, large areas becoming uninhabitable and the possibility of ocean levels dropping precipitously resulting in toxic salinity levels for marine life.  No one really knows how severe the situation will be, but higher food prices and political instability are certainly the least of the problems to come.

Obviously, the stories the Corporate Media want us to focus on pale in comparison to our top picks here.  Oh sure, the election made good theater, Brexit was chat-worthy and WikiLeaks stole a lot of headlines, but all of them will fade in weeks or months, replaced with more entertaining "news."  The stories that will affect most of humanity going forward are the ones being assiduously kept under wraps.  We are not meant to bother ourselves with real issues, and that distracts from our ability to be controlled.

Stay tuned tomorrow as we release our world-famous Predilection Issue 2016, looking at the most likely headlines for 2017 - good, bad and indifferent.  That will be followed by a little break for us Far Siders as we welcome the New Year and get roaring drunk in the jungle of Borneo.

Sampai jumpa, Y'all!

When The Moon Hits Your Eye

I've hit the post-election doldrums.

After the head-slapping antics of the past year in the US, nothing seems to rise to that level of hysteria, nor provides enough comic relief to write about.  Trump has been busy filling his Cabinet, with only the occasional tweet to keep us all entertained.  Hillary Clinton has virtually disappeared, and instead has pushed her surrogate Jill Stein to the front.  Not that the recount isn't entertaining - watching it backfire on both Stein and Clinton is rather chuckle-worthy - but it is anti-climactic.

In other news, there's PizzaGate, which if you haven't been following that story, you are missing some good entertainment.  Here is an example of click-bait that will be fly-paper for anyone who steps in it.

See, the pedophile rings at the highest levels of global power is a very real issue.  It is a story that has been around for several decades now, but the Pizza Parlor angle, regardless of whether it was part of the actual operation before, has now been sanitized and is being used to trap Free Press types who don't have the experience and/or sense to smell a trap.

These kinds of operations, at the levels at which they ope
rate, has the ability to sanitize within minutes.  Think of the speakeasys during Prohibition in the 1920s.  Before the cops could get in the door, the liquor shelves flipped, glasses were swapped with soda and the place was completely neutralized.  This, in effect, is PizzaGate.

A trail of breadcrumbs has been left for the less experienced investigators to follow.  This has two purposes: one, it hides the operation and protects the perpetrators, and two, it will be used to ensnare and eventually discredit the "alt media."  All operations of this kind have multi-layered traps, and as fast as one operation is discovered, it is shut down and backup operations are immediately fired up, complete with all new jargon.

This highlights the problem with "alt media," which I now distinguish from the Free Press.  Most of the "alt media" folks are neophytes who have no training, little experience and a fraction of the common sense they were born with.  Real reports and investigators follow their instincts, which were honed over years of hanging around the old gang and getting their feet wet with experienced hands to guide them.

Now-a-days, every numbnut with a smartphone and a YouTube account think they are Billy Batson.  They are dumb enough to think all leads are good leads, and that the bad guys might actually lay traps to disgrace and discredit them.  In a way, that's good.  It weeds out the talentless wanna-bes and keeps the field relatively uncluttered.

A good reporter knows that where there's smoke, it probably someone trying to distract him from the real trail.  Real stories are like lizards.  Just when you catch them, the tail pops off and they get away.  The cub reporter is left with a wriggling piece of meaningless meat that keeps him distracted while the rest of the animal gets away.  A good reporter knows which leads are hot and chases the perps, but a great reporter gets ahead of the game and is waiting when the perps arrive.

I don't intend to smear "alt media."  It is a necessary function, much like Upton Sinclair.  In fact, the idiots populate all forms of reportage, and especially the Corporate Media.  Most of the bobbing heads one sees on the propaganda press are vacuous hair-spray models who got a degree in jounalism, not to be reporters, but to be famous for being on TeeVee (i.e. celebrities).  The same goes for "alt media."  There are those who just want to draw clicks and earn ad bux, like their Big Brothers, and honestly have no business calling themselves reporters.

Real reporters often have highly trained instincts that keep them on the cutting edge.  They are the ones that most people dismiss as wild-eyed loonies.  They are the ones whose stories seem to have little or no relation to trending stories in the rest of the media, but who are proved - weeks, months, even years later - to have been on the right track all along.  They are the ones going against the herd, and by the time the herd turns to follow, they are off on a completely different tangent, leaving the mop-up to the followers.

A great reporter is a true leader, but not in the sense of a politician.  Politicians usually get one thing right in their entire lives and then stick around to milk the praise as long as it lasts.  Real reporters often spend their entire lives being mocked and ridiculed, primarily because by the time everyone accepts the reporter's stories as factual, they've forgotten who got them there in the first place.  Meanwhile, the reporter is already blazing new trails.

So anyway, back to PizzaGate.  You will notice all the wanna-be reporters jumping on this bandwagon in the "alt media."  The perps have already flipped the tables, though, and anyone who clings to this story will get smeared with the Stupid Brush.

The story is genuine.  PizzaGate was a real front for pedophile rings, but getting exposed in John Podesta's email made them jump into action immediately.  They didn't cover it up, that would look to obvious.  Instead, they turned it into a rabbit warren of false leads and self-references to obfuscate the trail, and like a Venus Fly-Trap, it will snap shut and digest anyone who continues down that line of inquiry.

Folks are free to follow whomever they want, as well as free to become whatever they want.  The efforts of the Corporate Media to shut down "alt media" and "fake news" is nothing more than a desperate attempt to save their precious elitist positions and their pampered asses.  Years ago, they made a deal with the devil to stop reporting the news and start making it.

By the same token, there are a lot of "alt media" types who are self-aggrandizing and spreading utter bullshit under the guise of "reporting" news.

It is up to the viewer whom to believe, and it is certainly NOT the job of the Corporate Media and their lapdog Social(ist) Media to tell anyone what to watch, read or believe.  Everyone has the right to be wrong.
