To get 2023 going strong, I asked the friends and followers to submit their questions in pinned posts to my profiles in Truth Social, Telegram and Gab.
I made a selection out of those, based not only in how interesting I found the questions to be, but also how well equipped I was to answer - some inquiries were way 'above my pay grade'.
Since the Substack newsletter has a maximum size, I broke this down in 2 parts. In this first part, I will try to answer about the US and World geopolitics. On the second part I will treat only Brazilian affairs.
'Is Kevin mckarthy (sic) going to stick to the program that he agreed to or is he going to let us down in true RINO fashion, and what deal did trump strike with him in order to endorse him?' - truthsocial.com/@clairewee
PS: My understanding is that one of the points of the 20 GOP holdouts was to have the necessary guarantees that the speaker was going to uphold the agreements.
And the House is off to a good start: passed the rules package, voted to defund the 87,000 IRS agents, articles of impeachment filed against DHS Secretary Mayorkas, investigations about weaponization of government… the good news are coming hard and fast. Schiff, Omar, Nader are all out of important committees - it's impossible not to see how good things are looking.
As for the deal with DJT, of course I'm not privy, but I bet that one of the things is the total support for his 2024 presidential bid.
'Why did Flynn speak against Q?' - truthsocial.com/@ErinBeth
PS: I am not into the habit of listening to podcasts, so I have no idea what he said. BUT, I have been a fan and a supporter of the good general for half a decade, because I think he leads by example. It's not what he says, but what he does.
Also, it's way past time to let go of the Q tribalism, and focus on the things we learned on the Q op. All the main themes (pedophilia, Satanism, deep state, C_A, Mockingbird Media etc) are now in the arena of public opinion, so let's focus now on winning the information war.
'Is the Q clock a reliable source for clues and how to start interpreting it?' - truthsocial.com/@AnnShebesta
PS: No, I don't think so. I also don't put any faith on Gematria and these kinds of things. There is something, I think, to the effects of the 'deltas' of the posts, but I also don't pay attention to that.
Instead of trying to find hidden meanings, which is frankly tired and boring, I focus on what the posts are actually saying, and what research we can do to further our knowledge. I also try to see how we can apply what we learned in the real world.
'Will the Central Bank/ Federal Reserve system be destroyed? Will we have a decentralized currency?' - truthsocial.com/@TheSoundofTruth
PS: I don't indulge in wishful thinking, hopium, whatever you want to call it. We have a responsibility with what we say and write. So I'd have to say that this is unlikely to happen any time soon.
However, unlikely it's not impossible. In just a few days, House GOP is already moving to vote to abolish the IRS and nix the income tax. While this is unlikely to move through Senate and escape Biden's veto, it's still important, because we can extrapolate from that and imagine what a generation of patriots can accomplish in just a few years.
'17. Have you ever noticed how often this number is used?
TV, movies, news, politics it goes way back. Is this just a coincidence? Since Q opp started it has become more noticeable.' - truthsocial.com/@SwayD
PS: While nowadays people on our political camp may use that as a 'dog whistle', there is also, I'm afraid, the fact that our perception is all rigged to detect every 17 that we come across.
It's called Salience Bias: 'predisposes individuals to focus on items that are more prominent or emotionally striking and ignore those that are unremarkable, even though this difference is often irrelevant by objective standards'. What I mean is: we come across all kinds of numbers, but 17 seems more prominent than it really is.
'When we say nothing can stop what is coming, what do YOU see?' - truthsocial.com/@JayneBird
PS: Once again I must deviate from the narrative many Q peeps propagate. The Q drops, as I see it, were an operation to disseminate information that was anathema to the powers that be in this world - we can call it the cabal, if you want.
What I don't see is 'the drops as prophecy'. So when the Q team writes 'Nothing can stop what is coming', it's a bit of a bravado, a way to shake the enemies’ feelings, to bolster morale in our own anon troops. It is not, as I see it, a promise made in heaven or anything of the sort.
I do believe, however, that once the population arrives at a certain level of awareness, things will improve markedly. It's a sound plan, we have - but not infallible, nor is it directed by benevolent 'white hat' hands guaranteeing our ultimate success.
Are there 'white hats' in positions of power? Yes, but outnumbered by the Nazguls of Mordor in a proportion of 9 to 1.
'Estimation on operation rap-up? I came to a sprint not knowing it was a marathon.' gab.com/Stratmanpicks
PS: Rap-up is nowhere near the horizon. What if it's not a marathon, but rather a multi-generational saga? You would give up? In my Substack article A Song for the New Year, I wrote about this scenario. So I leave you friends with this excerpt:
'Most of my ancestors came from the Iberian Peninsula(…). In 711, North African Moors crossed the Mediterranean and invaded the unprepared Gothic Kingdoms. In just seven years, Islam had conquered most of today's Spain and Portugal.
It took the Christian native Iberians not 7 years, and not 70 years to re-conquer their land. It took them way more than 7 hundred years to do so. It was a multi-generational effort. Let that sink in.
To achieve that, Spain and Portugal had to invent themselves - and, as importantly - Christendom had to reinvent itself.
It would be too long for our purpose here to talk about how Crusaders digging in the ruins of Salomon's temple led to the rebirth of Europe and of Christianity - but it suffice to say that it took a concerted effort of a multitude of leaders and heroes during 8 centuries to expel the Moors from their last European foothold in Granada.'
i guess this saddens me a tad...while i understand moving forward and letting go of the Q phenomenon, what the hell am i supposed to do with my Q tshirt ... [sad face]
Paul, so good to hear your take on things. Thank you for all you do to advance liberty here and abroad. Tenha um ótimo dia irmão! Peace
