JEFFY PEDERSON/INTHEMATRIXXX P = PAYSEUR SHILL WANTS TO PLAY?

 

==MEET JEFFREY PEDERSON AKA INTHEMATRIXXX CAREFUL WHO YOU FOLLOW part I==

 

Jeff's primary claim to fame is Telling Anon's exactly what P = although Jeff's Motto at one time was "The Truth cannot be told, it must be learned".

Jeff thought it wise to promote and sell P = PAYSEUR so much so that he made and widely promoted 6 video's all about why P absolutely must = Payseur.

Jeff still promotes P = Payseur yet only 3 vid's are currently available at his website. https://www.inthematrixxx.com/payseur/

Yet to prove just how much Jeff promoted his early P = Payseur videos, try the Way Back Machine. https://web.archive.org/web/20190330062134/https://www.inthematrixxx.com/

 

Jeff also promoted P = Payseur before and during his "Show" at the Ramtha cult compound, where it is rumored and quite customary at Ramtha, that Jeff and others had to sign an NDA to even appear at the PAID event.

Ramtha has long been known as one of the top Democratic donors in their area, Ramtha's leader, J.Z. Knight even has pictures of her meeting Barry Obama and Mike/Michelle.

 

Jeff openly proclaimed that his P = Payseur bit is from a Book written by a Good friend of Alex Jones, Fritz Springmeier AKA Viktor Schoof. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_Springmeier

Alex Jones, a Traitor Disinformation Agent who works for Mossad (Q DROP #2089) and highly likely also employed by the VATICAN.

Alex Jones dedicated entire shows and an endless amount of segments to Fritz's Amazing book "Bloodlines of the Illuminati".

"Bloodlines of the Illuminati" is a hodge podge of History mixed in with every conspiracy theory known to Fritz at that time.

 

"Bloodlines" was one of the books that Seal Team 6 (Q DROP #154 CIA agents posing as seal team 6) found in Osama Bin Laden's compound.

The CIA/MSM went on a media blitz introducing Americans to the list of books found in OBL/UBL/Tim Osman>CIA asset's "Library" with "Bloodlines" many times being front and center.

The CIA most definitely wanted the American people to be introduced to "Bloodlines" and [they] even released a copy from their "Vault".

 

Fritz Springmeier is a known Grifter, Multiple Felon (including bank robbery), White Supremacist who is known to write for Religious Extremist and/or White Extremist groups such as the Army of God.

Read "Bloodlines" for yourself. http://www.whale.to/b/sp/bloodlines.html

Another source of the Payseur tale can be found in David Icke's book "The Biggest Secret". https://www.biblio.com/the-biggest-secret-by-icke-david/work/127123

What an amazing coincidence as David Icke is also a good friend of Alex Jones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Icke

 

Q DROP #1970 Q acknowledged Anon's questioning concerning P = Payseur yet Q has never confirmed that P = Payseur and Q has never said Payseur yet Q has stated a bit about P

Q DROP #3749 Q certainly seems to indicate that George Soros [GS] controls the [D] democrat party. When Qmap was working, hovering over [GS] revealed "George Soros".

Q DROP #416 "SOROS TAKES ORDERS FROM P.

Q DROP #1413 Q names the Image of an Owl "GUARDIAN_P" in a drop about the "Guardians of the Pope" [personal].

And recently the Council for Inclusive Capitalism has taken the world stage. [THEY] refer to themselves as "Guardians" and the Pope as [THEIR] Leader. https://www.inclusivecapitalism.com/our-guardians/

 

Based upon all of this, one must wonder Why Jeff is so adamant and seemingly completely lacking discernment by basing P = Payseur upon some unproven "Theory" rather than what the Drops certainly seem to suggest?

Is Jeff simply stupid or is Jeff Protecting [P]?

Jeff goes as far as to say that "When Q says Trust the Plan, Q is actually referring to the Payseur Trust!".

Video now removed yet here is a link to the show where Jeff stated this: https://drop.space/watch/in-the-matrixxx-upfrontintheprophetic-interviews-jeffrey-pedersen-aka-inthematrixxx_3sXQNWrxpyfrAjw.html

Jeff's minions and defenders here have referred to this Anon as "Obsessed" and even though this Anon truly does despise PAYtriots, it would seem that it is Jeff who is truly "Obsessed" with P = Payseur - 6-7 videos now, really?

JEFFY PEDERSON/INTHEMATRIXXX P = PAYSEUR SHILL WANTS TO PLAY?

 

==MEET JEFFREY PEDERSON AKA INTHEMATRIXXX CAREFUL WHO YOU FOLLOW part II==

 

The following Q drops should be taken into consideration before Anon's decide to "Follow" anyone proclaiming to be supportive of Q regardless if [they] seem like a wealth of Q related information.

Most of what these Grifters sell, they learn and take from Anon's right here in the Kun.

Q DROPS #1295, #1328, #1339 & #1343

'Be Careful who you are Following. "Profit-vehicle" "Destroy through [DISINFORMATION]" "absorb the 'confused' " "re-route traffic to other platforms."

 

Anon has concluded that Jeffy/INTHEMATRIXXX is not an Idiot and so P = Payseur is Disinfo and Jeffy knows it.

There are Two clear cut choices for Anons yet the second choice contains an "OUT" for Jeffy:

 

#1: Jeff is an Idiot rookie researcher grasping for straws anywhere he can find them.

#2: Jeff knows full well that Springmeier is a Grifter and the P = Payseur "theory" is bullshit.

 

#2a: Jeff is an Agent of the Vatican.

#2b: Jeff is Necessary Disinfo because otherwise MOST Catholics would be appalled and turn away from Q because of what the drops suggest that [P] =.

 

Apologies yet Anon does not feel that the majority here need to suffer because some CATHOLICS cannot handle what certainly appears to be the truth as presented by THE DROPS.

If Jeff's P = Payseur is part of the Plan then it is part of the PLAN that Anon strongly disagrees with and until Tippy Top Anon explains this major discrepancy to Anon, Jeffy is [JEFFY].

==All Anons who have read the Drops have known since early 2018 that Alex Jones is a Mossad Agent per the drops per Q.==

Over a period of a few months, Q dropped over a dozen drops alerting Anons to the Fuckery of people like Alex Jones, Sebastian Gorka, Posobiec and other "PAYtriots" and Traitors.

POTUS called into Alex' Show and gave Alex a little unexpected interview.

Does that mean that Alex was a "good guy" or "white hat" at that time?

POTUS retweeted Posobiec dozens of time.

Does this mean that Posobiec, contrary to what the drops suggest, is/was a "white hat"?

Does Flynn giving Alex an Interview recently mean Alex is now FREED/FLIPPED? or might Alex still be Deep State and Flynn and Q are simply using Alex as a Useful Idiot?

Could this be a case of "KEEP YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER"?

Now that INTHEMATRIXXX/Jeffy is at a conference where Lin Wood and many others are being interviewed by Jeffy, does this validate Jeffy and his "P = Payseur - You gotta believe me and Fritz Springemeier!" Bullshit?

Does this mean that P = Payseur? Which was Jeffy' initial claim to Fame, to the tune of Jeffy producing 6-7 videos explaining to Anons why they absolutelty must believe that P = Payseur!

Oh, P = seems VERY VERY IMPORTANT to Jeffy.

This is the same Illogic that Jeffy has used over and over again to fend off his critics.

"If you are against Jeffy, you are against Q!"

Now Jeffy can drop names all day long such as LIN WOOD, GENERAL FLYNN, SYDNEY POWELL = Everything Jeffy says is right! Especially that P = Payseur Bullshit…

Have you ever wondered why Jeffy is so obsessed with P = Payseur?

Have you ever read the drops concerning [P]?

"Saving the Best for Last. [P]."

"Soros takes orders from P".

Q named the file image of an Owl "Guardian_P" in a drop concerning the "Guardians" of the Pope. Could it be any clearer for these Vatican Shills???

Yes, Anon is well aware that 200 drops later +/-, Q dropped "Saving Israel for Last" and Anon is also aware that "DISINFORMATION IS NECESSARY".

Anon is aware that on several occassions Q has desired to "Walk this or that back" yet Anon does not believe that "Guardian_P" "Guardians of the POPE" was one that Q tried or needed to walk back hard enough to create the need for a disinfo specialist such as Jeffy.

Imagine being Q, posting something that important, obvious and direct only to need a small crew to work for years in order to help Q "walk that shit back" kek!

This is what Anon is required to believe if Anon attempts to believe that Jeffy is not a Vatican shill literally "Guarding" [P] but is in fact a white hat "disinfo is neccessary" Agent.

RED FLAGS EVERYWHERE - TRAITORS EVERYWHERE - SURROUNDED BY EVIL yet Trust Inthematrxxx and his big P = Payseur propaganda bullshit because some Alex Jones Racist Neo Nazi Religious Grifter Multiple Felon Flunky' book says so?!

Rebuffed by Vatican, Pompeo Assails China and Aligns With Pope’s Critics

 

Pope Francis declined to see Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who is demanding a harder Vatican line on China. The Holy See said meeting just before a U.S. election would be inappropriate.

By Jason Horowitz and Lara Jakes

Sept. 30, 2020, 7:26 p.m. ET

 

ROME — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently published a sharp letter excoriating the Vatican’s plans to renew an agreement with the Chinese government on Church operations in China.

He promoted the article in a tweet, concluding, “The Vatican endangers its moral authority, should it renew the deal.”

 

An indignant Vatican took the article more as a calculated affront than a diplomatic gesture. The friction broke into the open on Wednesday as Mr. Pompeo arrived in Rome and met with prelates

and others who are hostile to Pope Francis, while the Vatican denied him a meeting with the pontiff and rebuffed his efforts to derail the deal with China.

 

“Pompeo asked to meet” the pope, who turned him down because Francis had “clearly said that he does not receive political figures ahead of the elections,” Cardinal Pietro Parolin, who,

as secretary of state, is the Vatican’s second-ranking official, told reporters.

 

But to some observers on both sides of the tensions between the Roman Catholic Church and the Trump administration, Mr. Pompeo’s visit is as much about the coming presidential election as

about China policy. Mr. Pompeo dismissed that suggestion as absurd, but intended or not, his trip signals that President Trump is on the side of those conservative American Catholics who worry

about the church’s direction under Francis and think he is soft on China.

 

Francis and Mr. Trump, who have exchanged sharp words in the past, present starkly different visions on issues ranging from the environment to immigration to the threat of populism.

In appealing to the Vatican’s support for religious freedom as a reason to drop its China agreement, Mr. Pompeo seemed to seek common ground, but in a way that upset the pope’s chief

allies and delighted his chief critics.

 

Cardinal Parolin said Mr. Pompeo’s article had caused “surprise” at the Vatican, because this visit to Rome by the secretary and the meetings with high officials at the Holy See had already

been in the works and would have been a “more opportune” forum for airing grievances. He added that Mr. Pompeo’s choice to publish in First Things, a conservative Christian magazine that has

called Francis a failure as Pope, also mattered.
