During my training at Fort Devens, MA, from 8/78 through 2/79, one of the head bullies who had a particular affinity for preying on me personally was another student named Rick Ledgett. “Chicken Man.” I’m sure you know the name. He went on to direct the NSA, if it wasn’t a different guy with “coincidentally” the same name. During my time at Ft. Devens, I set new all-time records for performance going through the school. As a big thank-you, I was sent to the absolute worst assignment I could be sent to without breaking my contract. People who never even met me decided I needed to be put in my place. At my permanent duty station (Augsburg, Germany as an Army 05H), we were in company-sized units but were designated as battalions. We were tasked by the NSA. I was just another faceless drone in collection. When I returned home, I quickly discovered my service was beyond worthless. I ended up working at Arby’s. I now do the most elite machine-language-level software development conceivable (on stock commercial hardware), working on my own commercial venture, and I couldn’t get a “real job” to save my life. I got in at Microsoft in 2008 through a fluke and my Chinese immigrant manager made sure I never worked professionally again: I outperformed him. I have spent my entire working life dealing with insecure supervisors (when they were male) who used their power to hold me back and push me down as an alternative to bettering themselves. It is the cold reality of the world we live in: it’s 100% political.
I “came on board” with all this on November 5, completely by accident when I stumbled on a random video about Q Anon on YouTube. I’ve been doing this 24/7 ever since. I was working on a software project to market as my last hope for a decent retirement. That got shelved for the Storm. It was a choice that nobody asked me to make. And it was the right one.
What I realized through all this – through YOUR drops – is what would have happened to me, had I succeeded in gaining some kind of respect in the corporate work place. I am so driven to be so innovative that I drive all coworkers crazy with insecurity. They cannot keep up and none of them ever knows what else to do but tear me down and hold me back. Had even one CEO or VP or the like discovered what I could truly do for them along the way, to my way of thinking, odds are about 100% that I would have been killed off as a security measure after developing one thing or another that was just a little too ground breaking.
That knowledge alone completely shifted my view on my entire life. Nobody else would have revealed this information to me. You did. Your revelations put everything into a massively different perspective for me. I either would have been killed, or I would have been broken down into the standard monster that Deep State people typically are.
It’s just one more testimonial to the impact we have on others when we’re not even thinking about having impact directly on others. Be who we are, do what we do, and we leave our marks – very positive marks and often far deeper than we think, on people who actually tell us how we affected them rarely to never.
I can only imagine the risk, the time, and the burdens involved in all this for the entire Q team. What you are doing for the country is staggering. What you do for individuals is even more so, when that level was likely never part of the agenda.
To each person on the Q team, thank you for doing what you do. It matters.
(If Rick Ledgett is somehow actually on this team [highly doubtful but you just never know], he may be driven to sheer insanity over the need to bury me once more over nothing, and having no recourse for doing so. Such is life. Sometimes it’s really hard.)
