Melting Pot Or Melting Down?

A new law taking effect in Belgium in October, and later in Flanders, highlights one of the fundamental problems with the concept of cultural melting pots and integration.  The fact of the matter is that most people want to be around others like themselves.  It is a primary instinct of the human condition and no amount of force will make oil and water bind to each other.

The law bans Kosher and Halal animal slaughter, which involves slitting the throats and bleeding out the animals.  The Belgium and Flanders laws require that the animals be electrocuted before killing, in a manner considered more humane.  This, however, violates the strict food codes of Judaism and Islam.

Throughout history, when two opposing philosophical systems (religions) come into direct contact, conflict always follows.  Primarily Catholic/Christian Europe has profound conflicts with both Judaism and Islam, regardless of how much happy talk one slathers over the situation.  The contact point between the two philosophies ultimately boils over into pogroms, with the indigenous group usually winning.  It is a fact that can not be erased by wishful thinking.  History is clear on the subject.

When it comes to examples of cultural blending, many commentators point to the US as an example of the "melting pot".  This ignores one of the most poorly hidden secrets of America, though.  As waves of immigrants came to North America, they settled into ghettos, towns and even entire regions of cultural identity.  In Texas alone, there are German (Groene, New Braunsfelds), Czech (Moulton, Moravia, Praha), Spanish (San Antonio, Laredo, El Paso), Scotch-Irish (New Dublin, Shannon), British (New London, Derry) areas that can be clearly defined by culture, architecture, and even climate (just like home).

Around the country, there are the Pennsylvania Dutch, the Irish cops of Boston and New York, the Welsh miners in West Virginia and Montana, the Minnesota and Dakota Swedes, the Louisiana Cajuns, and so on.  People tend to congregate in groups and in regions where they feel most comfortable, and where the ethnic, cultural and physical environment match their fundamental values.

There is a basic and profound reason why Chinatowns spring up, Jewish ghettos exist, New York City Burroughs were delineated, and so forth.  There is a gut-level reason why even those groups that successfully integrate with existing cultures tend to congregate around ethnic restaurants, bars, places of worship, and community centers.

Even in my hometown of Houston, a thoroughly modern American city, there are entire sections of town with signs in Vietnamese and Mandarin.  There are entire neighborhoods where nearly every house has a mezuzah nailed to the doorpost.

Historically, all efforts to force people to integrate will fail, and often violently.  Only when clear lines of demarcation are mutually established does peace and harmony reign once again.  Whether the forced integration is an invasion, or the result of political policy, eventually the two opposing groups will repel each other with a force commensurate with the amount of force pushing them together.

Prejudice, bias and racism are at the core of the human condition.  Over time, groups organically integrate out of necessity or relaxing standards.  This can be clearly seen in the US, where immigrants ultimately show their willingness to pitch in and build a better community.  The Irish invasion of the late 1800s brought strife and violence with it.  Over time, the Irish became accepted and integral parts of the community and now St. Patrick's Day is one of the most celebrated holidays in the country.

There are many voices who promote racial, ethnic and religious integration, and preach loudly of the ideal humanity living in well-mixed bliss.  This is a lofty goal and no one can deny making it a reality is a long-term target for the human race.  To be sure, modern cities are "melting pots" where ethnic, racial and philosophical groups slowly blend over time through intermarriage and cultural blending.  It is a slow and tedious process, and any attempt to force it is met with equal and opposite force, frequently breaking out in bloody conflict.

The Belgian and Flemmish laws, along with others that will likely follow, represent the bow shock of backlash.  Conflicitng religious, philosophical and ethnic needs between the predominantly Catholic/Christian Europe and the Islamic invasion over the past few years will inevitably lead to conflict.  The needs and sensibilities of the two groups are fundamentally at odds.  The resistance to Halal slaughter techniques must overflow into the long-established Kosher industry, since the two are basically the same thing. 

Though Jews have been established for centuries in Europe, the revulsion against Halal slaughter must perforce include Kosher, as these types of backlash inevitably try to return to a perceived starting or neutral position and the integration process resets.

Society after society, culture after culture, from Sumeria to the present day have seen this type of rejection.  When integration is gradual, cultures blend and create new ones.  When integration is overwhelming and rapid, the invading culture makes too many sudden demands, and the extant culture slams the door.

In my own experience, I emigrated to a country (Indonesia) that was wildly different from my own.  I was careful not to inject my sensibilities onto my adopted home.  Rather, I learned the lingua franca, as well as parts of three other dialects.  I observed and adopted cultural mores and habits.  One thing you will almost never heard from my lips is, "The way we do it back home..."  I am not home and I didn't come here as an invader.  I cam to learn.

For those reasons, I have been accepted into the extant culture, despite the fact that I look nothing like the inhabitants.  I am pale, with red hair and blue eyes, and stand head and shoulders above most of the locals.  I couldn't blend in if I tried.  But, I speak the language and even in my house we speak English, Indonesian and Javanese.  I am the only white person in my neighborhood.  I eat the food, observe the manners and rituals, and even sing the national anthem on demand.  I am accepted and people are not threatened or intimidated by me.  It took years of hard work to achieve.

Already, voices are howling in protest at the new laws in Belgium and Flanders.  They want everyone to make immediate concessions to an invading culture that refuses to integrate.  This is a recipe for disaster, and no amount of political correctness will ameliorate the situation.  The backlash is spilling over into a cultural reset that will include other groups that have long been established.  It is no different from the suspicion and distrust that followed German and Japanese Americans during World War 2.

Though great progress has been made, especially in the US, over the past 50 years towards racial, ethnic and philosophical harmony among disparate groups, there is still an innate reset trigger in each of us that is activated when we feel our sensibilities are offended.  Humans can no more change it than cats can stop hunting mice.  It is an integral part of our species.  We can chose to defuse it, but it is a slow and difficult process to submerge our instincts.

If our social and political leaders would stop forcing mass displacements of people for ideological purposes, the world would be a much quieter and harmonious place, where folks could chose the culture and environment in which they prefer to live.

Humanity always makes the biggest messes when it attempts to subvert Nature.

Who Is Q?

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

Let me begin with some "B Proofs".  I have stated in several articles and interviews on Rense Radio that I suspected Q follower numbers were being inflated as rewards to the Anons and Commentators, as well as a means to control the perception of the operation's effectiveness and distribution.  The proof recently came on the "Patriots Fight" board.

For those not deeply (and wisely) initiated into this operation, Q has two boards on 8chan - one where Q exclusively posts its Drops (no other posts), and one where the Anons (Apostles and Acolytes) can post their research and comments.

The reader should also be aware that there are several sites where the Drops are automatically re-posted (based on trip codes), numbered, titled, and often share space with POTUS (President of the United States) tweets and Anon posts.  Two of the most popular of these sites are Qanon.pub and Qmap.pub.

Qmap had a live user count at the top of the page, which consistently showed more than 200,000 online users at most times.

The screenshot here shows that the Admin of Qmap became aware of inflated user numbers via a hack of the system, and subsequently took the counter off the page.  At first, he repaired the counter, which then showed about 2,000 users at any time.  Apparently this was not a good sales point and the counter disappeared altogether.

I contend that if inflated counts are a proven fact in this case, then the probability of it happening on other outlets has increased significantly.  The reported numbers of Q Followers should be viewed with a skeptical eye.

There is also the matter of the [-21] day countdown that was to culminate on 19 March.  I clearly indicated that nothing would happen of any importance to the Spygate scandal, as many Qvians predicted (DECLAS of FISA for one).

The three events that did happen were the Christchurch mosque shootings, Trump vetoing the Senate's repeal of his Border National Emergency (BNE), and Attorney General Barr's blessing of the BNE on 15 March.  The Qvians either heralded the BNE as being the Big Event, or that the Christchurch attacks had stolen the headlines and any Trump surprises were thus put on hold.

The oft-repeated excuse for Q Fails is that the Drop was "disinformation" or a "decoy" for the Deep State to get them to expend "ammunition," and thus be rendered ineffective when the "real" news came (see Q3165)

In Q3078, Q clearly says that the Christchurch attacks were "not big enough" to pull headlines away from Trump's supposed bombshells.

This and other Drops from Q imply that it had foreknowledge of the attacks, or at minimum expected - even wanted - them to happen.  If this is the case, then why didn't Q expose the attacks before, or at least after?  Instead, it gloated in the waste of a mass killing to derail Q/POTUS plans.

This appears to be callous disregard for human life, and/or usurpation of tragedy to advance its agenda.  Either way, not a pretty picture, and one we have repeatedly seen with Q (see Q3077).  Even in the face of this tragedy, Q highlights its countdown (see Q3173).

Let us now turn to the Q Cult, or Qult.  We begin with a definition of "cult":

noun

• a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object. - "the cult of St. Olaf"
• a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister. - "a network of Satan-worshiping cults"
• a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing. - "a cult of personality surrounding the leaders"

As I have pointed out many times in previous articles, particularly "The Gospel According to Q" linked above, there is a very definite religious flavor both to Q's Drops and to the fervor with which the Qvians adhere to its pronouncements.  Religion is also a common theme in Trump's speeches and press conferences.

From Q's liberal use of Bible passages to the frequent inclusion of religious messages in much of the Qvian commentary, it is important to note this, as it is integral to my contention that Q is, or at least behaves as, a cult leader.

Not only does Q meet the first definition of "cult" above, but it also falls squarely under the third.  The combination of the two is most disconcerting.  It brings up connotations of the Queen of England, the King of Thailand, the Catholic Pope, or the Ayatollahs of Iran, who have both religious and political power.  Not a comforting image for a secular nation like the US.  These two "authorities" were purposely kept separate with good reason by the nation's founders.

That being said, the primary thrust of this article is to demonstrate how Q controls the narrative - and thus followers - within the Qniverse (my term for all things Q).  Q is obviously softening followers to be activated on command.  While it has been mostly benign to date, with 3,310 Drops, there is no reason to assume that it will remain so (see Q3077 ff.).

My thesis here is predicated on the repeated imperatives from Q to "use logic" and "use reason," or "look here, don't look there".  Despite dozens of instances of Q literally ordering followers to do something, it is surprising how few apply critical thinking to this operation, especially when it comes to examining the language that Q uses.

In English grammar, when there is assumed subject of "you" and the verb is in the Simple present aspect, it is a command or imperative, such as "sit down" or "shut up".  This is especially so when there are no modifying modals, such as would, could or should.

Q's use of syntax is combined with subtle contextual and connotative cues that are installed via repetition.  This is easily evidenced by Q's constant use of slogans, such as "where we go one, we go all."  It is also found in Q's predilection for "predicting" fairly obvious events or occurrences, then taking credit for those that come to pass while glossing over those that do not - in short, confirmation bias.

A primary reason Q - and other psy-ops - are so effective is that it subverts incredulity through the use of provable facts and "predictions" to lower resistance in the minds of followers and insert selected narratives and even false information into the individual's conscious thoughts.  The follower then perceives the world through the installed prism, where only selected points of view filter through.

An example would be the way the Nazi Party in Germany used very real cultural and economic threats to inject Final Solutions that did not address the real problems, but scapegoated segments of the population that were then widely perceived to be the cause of suffering.  Events such as the Reichtstag Fire and Kristalnacht are frequently cited examples.

We see similar currents in Trump rally crowds.  Chants of "USA," "CNN Sucks," "Fake News," and so forth are clearly the result of group-think.  Even if the individual is not disposed to violence, in a crowd of thousands, both the anonymity and the peer pressure can be overwhelming motivators.

In the case of Q, it has continually targeted media and the Democratic Party in the US.  While the nation's real problem is social, moral and cultural decay, Q has successfully laid the burden on demographic groups that are symptomatic, rather than actual causes.

The absence of invective against Republicans is telling, and there is never a third-party alternative mentioned.  Q is not a broad-spectrum movement, but one narrowly focused on getting selected Republicans in office.  Q is highly partisan and serves only to widen and deepen the left-right divide, not foster unity and common solutions.

We have seen this before far too many times.

This jingoism is evident in Q Drops and the extensive musings of the Qvians.  At no point do they see the System itself as the problem, only select groups within it.

Issues such as the wildly ballooning public debt, or the massive flooding in the Midwest US and the coming inflation in food prices, or the morality of taxation. or the federal government's involvement in public education are completely ignored, though arguably more pressing than any of the issues highlighted in the Qniverse.

Public funding of grotesque "art" through the National Endowment for the Arts, or billions of dollars in hand-outs to nations that are philosophically anathema to US ideals are never mentioned.  The rampant hiding of results from publicly-funded science and the mafia-like protection of Big Pharma and other industries don't rate a footnote with Q or among its followers.

Instead, we are treated to nearly non-stop haranguing of mass media, gleeful teasing of opposition politics, and ubiquitous flag waving and patriotic back-clapping.

In opposition to the long-standing American tradition of suspicion towards large, centralized government, Q is leading its followers to blind, unquestioning faith in it and the vainglorious hope - even faith - that the System can cure itself by administering more of what made it sick.

People who just a few years ago distrusted everything government now extol the virtues of the secret Plan to save the world and using the military to 'retake' the federal government - commonly called a "junta".  They once praised the bravery of Edward Snowden  for exposing the surveillance system, but now vilify the CIA (a.k.a. Clowns) and DARPA, while praising the NSA.  There was once a time when a "patriot" mean one who defends the land and people against any force - especially government - but now it is used to label the military operatives operating Q to 'restore' the government.

A perfect example of narrative control and redirection occurred during the government shut-down earlier this year.  There was rampant buzz among the Qvians, fostered by Q, that Trump would use the opportunity to lay off hundreds of thousands of government employees, thus reducing the size of the federal government and draining the swamp in one fell swoop.  Not only did it not materialize, not a single commentator that I monitor has mentioned it since then.  Yet, Trump is still viewed as a champion of smaller government and reduced waste, despite a complete lack of evidence for such an image.

This is a classic case of the Edward Bernays model of Public Relations: use symbols and trigger words to evoke a specific set of emotional responses, then transfer them to whatever person, product or organization one chooses; then reinforce the transference by manipulating the symbols and triggers.

In the case of Q, followers are being told they are under direct and dire threat.  Their families and property are being attacked, or will soon be.  The resulting fear and "circle the wagons" instinct is then transferred to whatever target Q chooses - in this case, the media and Democrats, used almost interchangeably.  The followers thus adhere to each other with a siege mentality for "protection" and begin to group-think.  This response shuts off critical thinking and prevents contrary information from entering conscious thought.

While the threats may or may not be real, the emotional responses are real, and those responses are targeted wherever the central cult figure points its finger.  We need look no further than Trump's Wall to see this in action.

Q has done nothing that any dedicated individual could not do.  Q has published hundreds of links to articles, photos and videos in the public domain, something many of us regularly do on social media. The difference is that the links and messages are strung together with a provided context to form a narrative with a particular viewpoint.

In fact, all of the heavy lifting to reveal hidden documents and conspiracies has been done by Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch, by Julian Assange and WikiLeaks, and by dozens of nameless, faceless people who risked their well-being to get those documents into the public domain.  Yet, the Qvians place all the glory at Q's feet, and Q does nothing to disabuse them of this undeserved adulation.  It is my contention that this is exactly what Q's intention is.

By taking the glory for uncovering the corruption at the core of the System, Q not only disenfranchises those dong the real work, it also controls the context and interpretation of the information.  In addition, through the Q Proofs and the Q+ entity, all of the goodwill is transferred to the military and Donald Trump, while blame is shunted onto the various enemies. (see Q791 ff)

The process works like this: first, gain the attention and trust of a large number of followers; next, transfer that trust onto Donald Trump; finally, take credit for all positive developments and ignore the rest.  No matter what happens, Trump is personally responsible for the perceived good, and the failures are shunted off on the Deep State, the Swamp and other shadowy enemies.  Think Orwell's Goldstein in Nineteen Eighty-Four.

As I have clearly demonstrated in prior articles, Q is a technology - a particularly powerful one at that - which is in the possession of government agencies, specifically USOCOM and the GEC.  We must ask ourselves, if Trump is re-elected and the pressure of campaigning is no longer a factor, what then?  Furthermore, if Trump loses in 2020, or leaves in 2024, and someone else assumes the office, what will that person do with this technology?  Control is only a matter of firing the right people and installing cronies.

We must assume that the opposition is well aware of Q, given the large body of media hit pieces out there, and they will surely have been thinking what they could do with such a tool.  We must also assume that even if Q is publicly "revealed," we will likely not get the whole, or even true story.  It is interesting to note that speculation of Q's Revelation closely mirrors the UFO Disclosure talk.

Q has shifted its narrative several times, and the Qvians unquestioningly follow the lead with nary a glance in the rear-view mirror.  Q has already established an "infallibility doctrine" among a great many followers, and they work feverishly to prove every Q Pronouncement correct, rather than critically dissecting and examining the pieces, and especially holding Q to task for failures.

Q is by definition a cult.  Its followers offer unquestioned credulity and allegiance, assume they know the identity of Q (commonly using the pronoun "he"), and relentlessly evangelize Q's message, and the message is a blend of religious and political ideologies.  These are hallmarks of cults.

The Qvians heap unearned praise on their unseen leader and its public manifestation in Donald Trump.  They attribute all manner of victories and beneficence to Q, and wave away any failures and conflicting data with consensus apologetics.  They produce and display objects of faith, such as hundreds of hours of video, clothing, stickers, banners, and so on.  We have even seen the apotheosis of Trump as god-emperor

It is one thing to hold harmless pep rallies, and quite another to hold torchlight processions.  Can we honestly and naively assume that the movement before us will not devolve into the latter?

Behold the Qult.

===================================================================
Update 8 April 2019: As of this time, Q has been silent since 10am, 29 March 2019.  In our model, this means Q has entered Analysis Phase, where it stops "talking" and starts "listening".  This has a number of purposes in q-analysis (see article above by this title).  First, it is remapping the social media sphere to see how far its most recent messages have spread and where the hot-spots or "hubs" are.  It may single out particularly active hubs to steer increased traffic and for rewards such as "mentions" or higher subscriber numbers.  Second, it is quantifying which messages are getting the most "air time".  It may choose certain topics for future Drops in order to boost their visibility, or to populate them with more information.

From a political standpoint, this kind of information would be highly valuable when scheduling rallies and composing speeches in various locations.  It can also quantify how well certain messages are playing among the voters and what their emotional responses are to various topics.

Of course, there are far more possibilities of value to a political entity.  These are just the most obvious.  Regions that purchase large amounts of Q Paraphernalia would be rich grounds for targeting donors.  It also provides a comprehensive map of strengths and weaknesses, and which issues might sway those regions.

In any event, Listening Mode has gone anywhere from days to nearly a month.  These periods allow the water to settle a bit and make the feedback clearer by not stirring the Qvians with new data, but rather seeing where things stand before launching the next phase of the project.

Right On Q?

The Qniverse has become lively again.  For those not playing along at home, Q vanished on 13 January 2019, and reappeared on 1 February 2019.  The interim found many of the Commentators that I watch convincing themselves that they really didn't need Q, that they could carry on without the Fearless Leader in the restless pursuit of Truth and Justice without leaving the comfort of their screens.

It strikes me as a bit unusual that the Qvians claim to be building a "Q Army," yet none dare rally to show strength and reveal actual numbers.  Subscriber numbers on Commentator outlets are once again on the rise, but we should be aware at this point how these numbers can be manipulated.  If Q is what it claims to be - military intelligence using sophisticated digital surveillance - then it would be a minor effort to pad subscriber numbers across the various "social" media.

As a side note, I take umbrage at the term "social media," since the people who use it the most are in fact the most anti-social people one could meet.  Even in the most social settings, they are too engaged with their screens to have the most rudimentary interactions with real people in the real world.  But, I digress.

As we review the past month in Qniverse, it seems that almost everything the Qvians predicted about current events using "Qlues" from Q was wrong.  We should remind ourselves here that Q rarely posts anything original.  Most Q Drops consist of jingoistic mantras, mass media or Twitter links, or widely available photos.

Occasionally, we are treated to some surveillance stills - with no interpretation - or shots of Donald Trump's Oval Office desk with a signed document just peeking out of a portfolio, a mobile phone sitting on a desk (widely interpreted as Air Force One from reflections on the phone) or a wristwatch set at 3:15, or is it 3:14?

This kind of open-ended information bombing lets Qvians free-associate on the data and eventually come to a consensus, usually with the "Anons," known here as the Apostles and Acolytes, leading the way.

In other words, this is classic Dialectic Conformity in action.  A group of people are presented a vague issue, planted leaders emerge from within the group, predetermined solutions are proposed, and ultimately the group settles on a conclusion they've surreptitiously been led to.  All the while, the group fervently believes it has been acting independently and exercising free choice.

As I have shown before, Q also uses a psychological technique called "transference".  Q uses emotional triggers to transfer religious, militaristic, political, and cultural fervor to itself, and thus to Trump's presidency and support.

A perfect example of this has just dropped in the past few minutes, in which Q quotes several passages from the Christian Bible that encourages Qvians to view their Quest as part of a metaphysical battle between Good and Evil.  This is in keeping with the wide-spread view among Trump supporters that his election was Divine Providence.  This places the recent depiction of Trump as a god-emperor in Italy into perspective, but also raises some disturbing connections to Julius Caesar or Emperor Hirohito.

When Q returned this month, one of its first drops was a stock photo of two F-15 fighter jets with after-burners ablaze against a rising sun.  The photo was not accompanied by any text, even the ubiquitous "Q" normally affixed to most Drops.  The Qvians, of course, immediately began free-associating on the image, while the Apostles and Acolytes began scouring the net for the source of the photo.  As it turns out, the photo was taken over Iraq in the early morning at the end of a bombing run.

Interpretations variously targeted February 15 as a significant date, the rising sun as symbolic of the Q Mantra "dark to light," and military superiority as the means of America's implied greatness.  I rather saw it as a reference to the occult maxim of "dawn of a new day," which I have written about quite a bit in the past few years, as well as an intimidating image of American hegemony within the global political arena.

Donald Trump signed a massive spending bill on Friday, February 15, and moments later, signed an Executive Order (EO) declaring a National Emergency over border security, ostensibly to secure funding for the border wall - an issue Trump has hammered on since the beginning of his presidential campaign.  The EO was issued at 3:14pm.  Thus, the Qvians are beside themselves discussing the symbolism of the F-15 jets and the timing of the EO in relation to the photo of the watch.  The implication here is that Q gave us a peek at the future, and that the Q/Trump Plan - a key feature of Qniverse - includes the exact times and dates of significant pieces of legislation and executive actions.

Considering Trump declared February 15 a deadline to achieve a budget deal that included his wall, and had the ability to sign the EO at any time he chose, and that the deadline was set BEFORE Q dropped the F-15 image, there is no fulfillment of prophesy despite all the wishful thinking of the Qvians.  As Dr. Joseph Farrell has so eloquently stated, if you control both a prophesy and its interpretation, it is quite easy to control its fulfillment, as well.

Not only was Q/Trump able to manipulate events to specific dates and times, it has done nothing to disabuse followers of the notion of Trump's god-emperor status as being able to predict future events.  This Q Prophesy is so obviously planned and manipulated that it is difficult for rational folks to understand how Qvians can be so deceived by these cheap carnival antics.  The power of faith to cause self-deception knows few bounds, be it political, religious, or that dangerous variety that is a hybrid of both.

This seeming "hit" in Q Prophesy overshadows a slew of failures.  Q gave followers the distinct impression that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg (RBG) would soon depart the US Supreme Court, either by retirement or death.  This led to wild speculation that Judge Amy Coney Barrett, a Catholic, would be nominated to replace RBG.

This led the Qvians to interpret the Covington Catholic teen fiasco as the opening salvo in an attempt to smear Barrett's religion, since presumably sexual harassment would not work against a woman.

RBG has steadfastly refused to die on cue, thus the narrative/prophesy fell apart.  Keep in mind that the Q Prophesy was created by speculating directly on Q Drops on topic, and Q did nothing to disabuse followers of this view.  The narrative shifted then to being an amazing plan to expose Progressive Democrats and the Mainstream Media as liars and hypocrites.  None of the Q Commentators admitted that the whole fiasco was nothing more than political opportunism on both sides, using an unfortunate event involving a group of innocent teens as pawns in an ideological war.

To Q's credit, it at least admits that it uses propaganda and disinformation to deceive the enemy.  To the detriment of the Qvians, they refuse to acknowledge that THEY may be the enemy Q is referring to, or at the very least, the marks in a massive, weaponized confidence game.

For this reason, the Qvians have refused numerous times to address my series of articles, preferring instead to focus on Washington Post smear pieces and the strawman LARP argument (see my article The LARP Carp).

The reason for this is quite simple: I grant the proposition that Q is what it claims - a military intelligence operation - and that it is indeed connected to Trump, and by extension that Q is quite real.

Thus, my argument centers on the assertion that Q is a massive psy-op, utilizing sophisticated and weaponized tools to sway public opinion and sell Trump's presidency and presumed re-election campaign for 2020.

When the Qvians are flat wrong, they engage in a communal mea culpa, beating their breasts and wondering aloud how they could have misinterpreted Q's Words.  They marvel at how effectively Q uses misinformation, such that even they  are deceived.  Nothing, however, dissuades them of their faith in Q and Trump.  It is all part of The Plan (see God's Plan for Humanity).  We mere mortals cannot possibly understand the complexities of such intricate machinations, so any error must be on our part, because Q is Perfect and Omniscient.

Honestly, the more one delves into this Phenomenon, the more it takes on the trappings of religious fervor.  Since the Second Coming has not occurred in over 2,000 years, it is obviously our fault for misinterpreting Scripture, or perhaps dispensation based on the faith of a handful of devout worshippers.

Even more frightening than the religious sheen over Q is the amazing assurance that Q's military provenance will ensure victory at any cost.  In a very real sense, the Q Phenomenon is a jihad, a Holy War against metaphysical forces that have overrun the world.  Q has very carefully and subtly fostered this religious narrative to the point that people in other countries are actually creating effigies of Trump, the god-emperor.

The reader will please forgive me if I do not jump on this bandwagon.  I find this a dangerous and disturbing trend.

Given the proclivity of Qvians to couch their faith in quasi-religious terms, it is my contention that we must now take Q very seriously and start to question as a society what, if anything, we should do with this Phenomenon.  Denying it and ridiculing it only empowers it.  It was arguably the Roman Persecutions that threw gasoline on the Christian fire, and doing so again will likely have the same effect.

We must ask ourselves what is allowable in the public discourse.  Are we willing not only to let this instance go unchallenged, but in so doing, encourage others to use the same formula?  Are we willing to allow our political arenas to be dominated by highly sophisticated and unregulated use of psychological weapons?  Can we depend on Trump and the US military to use this power in a benign and beneficial way?  And even if they do, who's to say anyone else deploying these tools will do so with such beneficence?

Recall that a large number of people are being lulled into passivity by a completely anonymous entity that claims to be military intelligence, posting on non-governmental outlets while running a psy-op using admitted disinformation and plausible deniability for Trump and absolute indemnity for whomever or whatever is running Q, and that the very first post by Q was a complete and unmitigated lie. 

The so-called Proofs of Trump-Q collusion are entirely circumstantial and can be spun any number of ways.  Most of Q's Prophesies are, as yet, unfulfilled, and those few that have been can be written off as matters of interpretation or coincidence.

Faith.  Passivity.  Deniability.

Sit in your arm chairs and trust anonymous text on a screen while "researching" mainstream media links and presidential tweets, instead of taking real action to set things right.  And while you are at it, be sure to vote Republican and buy your Q Gear.  And do all of it with unquestioning faith in an entity that claims to be part of a government that is provably corrupt and evil.

These are huge and pressing questions.  In this series of articles, I have endeavored to emphasize the power that is being unleashed here and to raise the alarm over the wholesale manipulation of thousands, if not millions of people worldwide.

It is high time to throw a spotlight on Q and accept that it is a real Phenomenon and that it is being used on (possibly against) all of us.  Q is NOT a conspiracy theory, it is a very real and by definition an actual conspiracy.  It must be addressed publicly, thoroughly and rationally before it gets much further.

The Name Of The Q

We want to express our sincerest thanks to Jeff Rense and his team for their invaluable support.  If this topic interests you, please keep an eye on the Rense Radio Network for exclusive content and updates as we ferret out the Q.

A-Marketing We Will Q

In this ongoing series of articles, we have presented evidence that the Q Phenomenon is a sophisticated multi-layered psy-op that appeared fully conceived in late October 2017 on 4chan, later moving to 8chan.

We have shown that Q purports to impart covert information to followers in multiple dimensions, where it is not only the message, but the medium iteself that has meaning.

At its most basic level, Q functions as an "insider" source for information on Trump's promised effort to "drain the swamp."  At this level, Q resembles Deep Throat during the Watergate era, except that Q places its entire audience in the role of reporters Woodward and Bernstein, thus subverting mainstream media filters.

We have proposed that Q is a sophisticated marketing/PR campaign that uses classic design, but in a weaponized form.  The many layers of the campaign work on numerous levels to attract as diverse an audience as possible.  Q uses standard Pavlovian Response methods to "establish and associate," a technique where engendered trust is extended to include other concepts, individuals and groups.  This is the core of the psy-op aspect.

We theorize that Q operates by design with key religious elements that spread through the social media culture at amazing, if not alarming pace.  Elements such as revealed truth, hierarchical structure, occult interpretation, and prophesy all play a significant role.  Followers have developed a fanatical and even cult-like community around Q that demands strict adherence to a kind of "theology," or risk excommunication.

We have already and continue to develop tests and specific predictions to establish the validity of our working hypothesis.  It stands to reason that if Q is operating on multiple levels of meaning, including symbolic, emotional, rational, and historical, then even the name "Q" should have significant meanings across various areas of interest, working in concert with the other proposed elements we have detailed.

With this in mind, we investigated various uses of the name "Q" in other areas of society.  To be significant, the use of "Q" should have appeared well before the rise of the extant phenomenon, so as to be included as an aspect of the Q design, and not be a result of it.  Previous uses of the name would ideally intersect with the various elements of our theory in a meaningful way, such that other meanings of "Q" would add insight into how the Q Phenomenon is designed, how it functions, and how the entity(ies) behind it think.

We were not disappointed.  We found no less than six distinct, superficially unrelated uses of the name "Q" in widely disparate fields that conceptually and significantly intersect with our theory.  These findings serve as a confirmation that we are looking in the right places, as well as enhance the view that Q is operating at multiple levels in a way that is sometimes referred to as "4-D thinking".

Note that we use the neutral pronoun "it" when referring to Q, because at this point, we are not sure who - or what - is behind it.  We do not want to limit our view, or the reader's, until some evidence arises regarding the nature of Q.

Q itself told us in early "drops" that the name refers to Q-level security clearance within the US federal government.  It is supposedly the highest level, allowing full knowledge of compartmentalized information, thus having access to the Big Picture when it comes to government secrets and intelligence.  Q also claims to be a function of US military intelligence, and so has access to roughly the same data, systems and techniques available to the NSA, CIA and other high-level intelligence agencies.

A couple of easy clicks led us to Wikipedia**, where Q-Clearance is indeed the highest level of security clearance, BUT only in the Department of Energy (DOE).  According to the article, Q-Clearance is equivalent to Top Secret within the military, but a distinction is clearly drawn with Q-Clearance limited to the DOE.  This is curious, as Q specifically claims to be military, but the claimed clearance only applies to the DOE.

It would be easy to dismiss Q at this point for not knowing or accurately establishing what it is talking about.  If the entity(ies) behind it are really military and in the US government, they should be well aware of this distinction.

Too easy.

If our model is correct, Q would choose a name based on a number of dimensions, rather than just a literal one.  The fact that Q-Clearance is equivalent to Top Secret (a.k.a. TS-SCI), it implies high-level access to information, while allowing for other dimensions of meaning.  It also provides a single, distinctive character to embody a complex collection of ideas in the form of a well designed and marketed "logo".

As a prediction, we believe that "energy" will play a role in Q as we continue to investigate.

Given what follows, it stands to reason that Q chose the name based on multiple intersections of meaning, rather than a strict definition of the security clearance term.

Our next stop is somewhat less spectacular, but in keeping with the overall design we propose, as well as having cultural and symbolic significance.

As we have mentioned before, Q is a character on Star Trek that has god-like powers.  Without rehearsing everything previously reported, suffice it to say this layer of reference would appeal to certain fan-type demographics, who would transfer their interest in sci-fi and humanist messages to the Q Phenomenon.  The inference of being god-like is in keeping with out model of what Q is, and what it desires to be seen as by the general audience.

In the TV series, the name Q refers to both an individual and a "race," which is also interesting in this context.  Being simultaneously one and many connotes a kind of symbolic Trinity.

It is noteworthy that the Q character is not considered trustworthy and his modus operandi is creating elaborate puzzles that the crew must decipher in order to escape some catastrophe.

Up next are two additional cultural references with varying levels of significance.  The is quite clearly related to the Q Phenomenon, where one of the main features of the operation is creating multi-leveled puzzles in order to transfer hidden meanings to the audience.  These puzzles are given ostensibly because the information is considered sensitive, and Q cannot just come out and say it.  It must be encoded and teased out by the Anons, so that Q is not actually "leaking" anything.

The first is the character Q in the James Bond series of novels and films.  Q, standing for "quartermaster," is the character responsible for designing high-tech weapons and gadgets for the Double-Oh spies in British intelligence operations.  This link is intriguing for the intersections with "British," "spy", "weapons" and "high-tech".

The "high-tech" and "weapons" aspects obviously connect with the sophisticated use of the internet and social media, and our proposed weaponization of that technology.

"British" and "spy" invoke the perceived close relationship of US and UK intelligence operations, especially GCHQ (!) and MI6, which are the UK equivalent of the NSA, CIA and other agencies.

"British" also invokes the 5-Eyes, an intelligence cooperative among the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.  The 5-Eyes have been referenced by Q on numerous occasions, making this a significant intersection with the Q name.

Q has also specifically claimed that data from the 5-Eyes circumvents US law and allows elements within the federal government access to data on US citizens, bypassing restrictions on domestic agencies.

On an emotional level, the link with James Bond would serve to romanticize Q and give it an element of action, adventure and suspense.  It serves to transfer all the emotional connotations of Bond's long history onto Q, providing a kind of instant history or background.

This, in turn, implies a battle against a sinister global network hell-bent on dominating the world, known as SPECTRE in the Bond universe.  This, too, is in keeping with the nature and interpretation of Q's drops over the past nine months, as it purports to stand against various individuals and organizations in the real world with similar goals and ambitions.

Another cultural reference is an obscure 1982 film entitled, "Q".  It would be easy to dismiss this reference, because it is rather obscure; however, it is interesting as the film deals with a group of New York City police investigating a series of mysterious murders using Aztec rituals that have apparently unleashed the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, a feathered serpent associated with, among other things, learning.

The initial letter "Q" in the god's name, yet another god reference, and the association with learning are all significant intersections with our model of the Q Phenomenon.  Q often states that followers must "learn our comms."  The snake image, of course, has all sorts of religious connotations.

The link with Mexico is also curious, given Trump's signature focus on the US border with that nation.  We also have in mind the Lady of Guadalupe, whose common depiction has her stepping on a snake - yet more religious symbolism.

At this point, it really starts to get interesting.

Thanks to a prompt from Joseph P. Farrell, we were led to the area of Biblical scholarship called, appropriately enough, the Q-Gospel.

Yes, the Q-Gospel!

In the early 20th century, Biblical scholars proposed a quelle (Germ., "source") for certain common elements in the Gospels of Luke and Matthew.  This "source" was theorized to stem from early Christian oral traditions composed primarily of Jesus' sayings.  The theory has fallen out of favor in recent years, but it nevertheless exists as a significant part of Biblical research and still attracts serious inquiry in the field.

We believe this reference should be obvious to the reader who saw our previous article called, "The Gospel According To Q."  That "Q" should randomly refer to an area of theological research stretches credulity, given the demonstrated multi-layered nature of the Q Phenomenon and its religious elements.

The final Q reference is the clincher, in our opinion.

In the field of mathematics, there is an area called Set Theory that examines the construction, content and relationships between sets.  Within this area, there is a sub-category called Q-Analysis.

Developed in the 1970s, Q-Analysis examines the alignments and intersections of sets in multiple dimensions.  It is used to examine "large-scale system structure, social networks and decision making," among other things.  It's function is to define how "sets" or "entities" relate and interact with each other, and how those relationships affect the internal content of the sets.

It should be immediately apparent to the reader that Q-Analysis describes almost exactly what we propose the Q Phenomenon is doing.  It is inserting itself into decision making, using and manipulating social networks, and can easily be used to measure and manipulate large-scale system structures, such as demographics and internet architecture.

Using Q-Analysis, someone could easily track the Q Phenomenon across the internet to map and quantify how information spreads and what effect it has on audiences down to fine detail.

Other than the definition and history of the actual letter "q", these are the only significant references for the "Q".  It was not necessary to make a value judgement for inclusion or exclusion of data.

That all these references should have internal elements directly related to our hypothesis, as well as conceptual relationships with each other through multiple, intersecting meanings and connotations is beyond random.

Six primary references to the letter "Q" can be found on the internet.  All six relate significantly to aspects of the Q Phenomenon.  All six have intersecting vertices in one or more dimensions.  All six match elements of our theory of Q.  And all six serve to increase and focus our understanding of the Q Phenomenon.

Since we propose that Q is messaging its audience on multiple levels in a 4-D system, it stands to reason that the name Q would also have multiple significant meanings.  That all six references have some degree of correlation with each other and with our theory of Q, it stands to reason that this serves as a confirmation of the theory, especially since they enhance and clarify aspects of our a priori speculations.

We therefore conclude that our theory withstands a major test, and that our operating assumptions about the Q Phenomenon are at least partially correct and worth pursuing.  This is by no means final and conclusive, but it is significant and instinctual, given our existing propositions.

It seems that we can now perceive some part of this real-life Matrix.  If what we have found so far is any indication, the ride is about to get a lot more interesting.

P.S. - one reader brilliantly added QED, used at the end of logical proofs, meaning quod erat demonstandum (Lat., that which was to be shown).  In quantum physics, it also means quantum electrodynamics, which also has interesting connotations.

I would also add that "Q" is shorthand frequently used by Lighting and Sound Operators, and computerized lighting and sounds boards to indicate when a change or effect is triggered - with interesting connotations.

I also forgot to mention "Max-Q," which is the point during a rocket launch where the rocket pitches over from perpendicular to the Earth's surface to parallel flight.  The rocket experiences the maximum mechanical stresses at this point.  It is the point when the shuttle Challenger exploded, and many other rockets disintegrated during the Space Age.

The Gospel According To Q

UPDATE: We will be appearing on Rense Radio Thursday, 19 July 2018, at 8pm PDT, discussing Q-anon.

UPDATE 2: Joseph Farrell reminded me of the Quelle (Germ., "source") or Q-Source, or Q-Gospel theory in Biblical studies.  It was a once-popular theory that common elements of the Gospels of Luke and Matthew represented a single, possibly oral original source.  There are now seven separate, significant and meaningful references to the name "Q", some of which are listed herein, and others that are coming up in later posts.  This is in keeping with my theory of multiple layers to the Q Phenomenon, where the same information means different things to different people.  See our follow-up article.

As readers have surmised, I am intrigued if not alarmed by the Q phenomenon, which I believe to be a classic, though highly sophisticated psy-op.  My two previous articles appear here and here.

What has captured my attention with this phenomenon is not only the sophistication of it, but also that it has often been very difficult to track them back to the precise moment at which they were launched.

Additionally, there is the resemblance to and connection with religion - primarily the Big Four (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism) - both in the message of Q and in its means of propagation through the general culture.

My working hypothesis is that Q is the operational version of a test done in 2012, called Cicada 3301.  I covered this in some detail in the last article, and will likely go deeper as I study and compare the two phenomena.  Suffice it here to say they bear a number of relationships to each other, both in form and function.

If the reader has played along at home, then you have learned how Q works: Q posts "drops" and "crumbs" on 8chan, which are then picked up and analyzed by an inner circle called the Anons, who then propagate the message to an outer circle who make (primarily) YouTube videos that mostly repeat the official party line.

This bears more than a passing resemblance to the various major religions, in which an individual or group has a direct line to God, who in turn imparts a cryptic message that is passed to the inner circle of apostles.  The apostles interpret the message and hand it to the outer circles (monks, priests, rabbis, imam, etc.), who in turn disseminate it amongst the flock.

The resemblance is rather remarkable.  The central figure (Mohammad, Jesus, Siddartha, Moses) says or writes something that is usually highly encoded.  The message requires interpretation and decoding by a close-knit group of true believers who understand the "rules" and "methods" for extracting the "true" meaning embedded in the otherwise scrambled text/mutterings.

The inner circle then hands the message off to the grass-roots leaders, whose job it is to develop followers that need to hear the message of hope/redemption/superiority in order for them to function in an otherwise insane, chaotic and meaningless world.

As noted in my previous musings, the name "Q" reminds me of a central demi-god character introduced into the Star Trek universe in the premier of The Next Generation, and which appeared in the Deep Space Nine and Voyager iterations.  The character is based on one in the original series in an episode called the "The Squire of Gothos".

The character of Q has god-like powers and is part of a "collective" that is mostly unseen, but which is referred to on numerous occasions.  This echoes the "parents" in the original series episode that introduced the model, as well as the "Q Collective" in later iterations.  The conspiracy-minded folks among us might even think the Q character was softening us for the introduction of this phenomenon, which adds a whole extra dimension to this story.

In the extant Q phenomenon, the name ostensibly refers to Q-level security clearance, which is supposedly one of the highest in the US federal government.  Whether that is true or not doesn't matter, nor is it important to this analysis.  In my model, the important thing is the perception, more than the fact.

Q is said to be an individual, or possibly a group (collective), with god-like access to military intelligence and who is able to steer the behavior of the inner workings of the Deep State.  Q can "see the future" - report on events that will happen - as well as give followers insight into current events in the socio-political machinations of government and headline events in the news.

The reader would do well to string together the various episodes of Star Trek that have the Q character in them, while watching the Q phenomenon.  The parallels are rather interesting.

As Q drops crumbs on 8chan, the Anons - the apostles in our working model - go to work researching and free-associating on the texts, coming up with coherent narratives that reveal just how prescient, even omniscient, Q is.  Think of this as a form of prophesy that is revealed to be Truth by its fulfillment in the future, especially when it is open to numerous interpretations of meaning.

It is at this point that I can't help but hear the words of Joseph P. Farrell, when he says that those who control the interpretation of prophesy, control its fulfillment.  In fact, the similarities to religious prophesy are legion and worrisome.

The outer circle - or priesthood in my model - pick up the Anon interpretations, place them side-by-side with the Q drops, and run endless analyses along with their own insights.  In fact, there even seems to be developing certain factions within the outer circle that are analogous to denominations within religious faiths.

What I find most remarkable in this model is that Q, just like its religious counterparts, preaches passivity and disdain.

Passivity because the followers are commanded to "enjoy the show," "get popcorn" and wait for "future proves the past."  Just like the major religions, the central character will come in glory to pass judgement on the evil ones and the results will justify the means.  The followers are commanded to take no actions themselves, but rather sit back and watch in amazement as the messiah traps evil in its own filth and confines it for all eternity (convict and jail the perps).

Just like the Biblical Book of Revelations and its various counterparts among the major religions, followers will be protected by their special knowledge during the Tribulation and Great Final Battle ("The Storm" in Q terms).

Once the prosecutions and convictions are done, there will be a Golden Age of Law and Order that will reign over the Earth, but Q commands us to be patient, as it takes time for these things to run their course.

The followers of Q also feel a certain superiority over the average Joe and especially the Evil Ones, and a disdain for those too blind to see or deaf to hear.  They talk of the Great Conversion (Great Awakening a la Q) once all is revealed to the masses.  They crow over the Spreading of the Word and the swelling subscription and hit counts.  They pray fervently that folks will Get the Message (be Red Pilled), and join the passive Watch and Wait phase of The Plan.

"Trust the Plan!"  This is one of the great commandments of Q.  We are to uncritically accept that this hidden elite group of military intelligence knows what is best for all of us, and there is to be no dissension.  Anyone who strays is ostracized (excommunicated) as a heretic.

The final parallel to religion is the development of the Q Theology.  These amount primarily to "Proofs," where the Pope (Donald J. Trump) gives winks and nods to the Believers that he and Q are in direct proximity and communication in the government version of the Vatican called the White House.  Trump was hand-picked by Q to be the Great Leader, an outsider of tremendous virtue who will take humanity out of the desert and into the Promised Land, where we will dwell amidst oceans of milk and honey where all will be revealed.  One can almost hear Trump excusing himself for not being much of a public speaker and in need of his own Aaron at this point, but Q replies that the mantle is upon him and he must rise up and lead the Children of Israel.

One could easily place the Proofs in the same category as Augustine of Hippo's De Doctrina Christiana, or Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica.  They serve to re-enforce the existence of Q, and veracity of the Word of Q.  They also help establish the primacy of Q Theology over all preceding revelations.

It is difficult not to draw these comparisons between Q and religion, as many of the commentators include blatant religious messages as part of their faithful reporting.  One must assume that this direct link to the major religions was an intentional design of the entity(ies) that created Q.  Not only are there objective design elements between Q and successful religions, but its appeal to those with religious predispositions - or seeking a religious worldview - makes comparison inevitable.

The link between Q and Star Trek also seems intended to appeal to those with a more secular humanist - less mystical - viewpoint.  If religion is not your thing, then perhaps the more secular link to science and logic will draw you in.

More into sports?  How about Our Team versus Their Team?  Prefer creative pursuits?  How about creating your own Q merchandise?  The Q name and quotes are public domain, so create away!  Contemplative?  Retreat to your Hermitage (parents' basement) and ponder the deeper meanings of Q.

Whatever your socio-cultural-religious bent, there seems to be an element of it in the Q phenomenon.  Even if your only interest is solving puzzles like a Dan Brown character, Q is tailor-made to attract your attention.

In my view, Q is clearly "designed".  It is not an organic outcropping of the culture, but something specifically manufactured to draw in as many people as possible.  It is most certainly a psy-op - all the elements are there.  Whether it is benign or not is a matter of argument, speculation and conjecture at this point; however, I would argue that anything which manipulates people's thinking without expressly stating that it is doing so is NOT benign.

To this author's mind, the underlying assumption of Q is that government is a necessary thing, though it can be bent to Good or Evil.  For this reason, I find the whole thing suspicious, since I place no trust in government of any kind for any reason.  Any socio-cultural movement that has only two possible sides is a product of the Hegelian Dialectic, and artificially limits the conversation to a choice where the author of the dialectic is the only winner.

In the end, the Q phenomenon is clearly what it appears to be - a new type of religious-style movement designed to placate/passify the masses and prevent a mass uprising while the factions of the Deep State hash out their differences.  In other words, the Ruling Paradigm must be preserved and enforced, even as the Rulers figure out who will take the reins/reigns for the foreseeable future.

Though Q clearly labels certain elements as "White Hats," and others as "Black Hats," it is a value judgement that ultimately rests on the spectator's ability to reason critically.  I personally make no distinction between the two sides, as they are both defending the same paradigm.

I personally opt for a third alternative that is notably abscent from this operation - that of self-government and individual responsibility.  In the interest of full disclosure, my viewpoint is not a popular one, but it allows me a certain dispassion when analyzing things like Q.

That said, it does not ameliorate my suspicions, nor diffuse my curiosity and interest in watching this drama unfold.  The sophistication of the design and the effectiveness of its dissemination in just the last nine months is a marvel of modern marketing.  From a purely professional standpoint, I admire the marketing design and the fervor with which a great number of people have taken it up.  If only Leni Riefenstahl were alive to see this, she would be green with envy.

Edward Bernays would be so proud of the creature he unleashed on an unsuspecting world.
