Dear Jim, 8kun and Q Research, whether earned or not, whether intended or not, have become beacons of hope for those who have no reason to hope. Q Research specifically spreads faith when there is no reason to have faith.
Throwing everything Q Research does into a bag called hopium is intellectually dishonest. We don't just drive narratives at Q Research. We provide a conduit to share faith so that we may press on every day and give our best because we have faith it will make a difference.
Remember the story from Ronald Reagan - 'A young boy excitedly came downstairs on Christmas Morning to open his presents and instead found a pile of horse manure 6 feet high. At first the boy frowned then his face lit up and he went out to the shed to get a shovel then started furiously flinging the horse manure to the corner of the room. His parents, hearing all the clatter, came downstairs and asked the boy what he was doing. The boy replied "When I went to bed I prayed for a pony for Christmas and I know it's in here somewhere." '
Sometimes gifts require some different avenues to get to in this dilapidated non believing world.
