"There is no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare".

No "nation", but a select group of people that we loosely refer to as the "cabal" certainly has raised exploitation of a nation's wealth, treasure, and manpower to a high art. These endless "banker's wars" have enriched a lot of people and families. Ike warned us about this in his epic warning about the military industrial complex. He had ended his career of "public" service, and I believe this statement was to atone for what he then knew to be his service to anything but the "public" good. Recall that he was comp'd even before WWII when he and other soon to be Generals rode down on the Bonus Marchers.

We have a fair idea who is on the Q team, and I believe we're seeing POTUS firming up his "bench" for the big play coming. Do we really have an idea exactly whom this play will be against? It's much more than the sedition and treason perpetrated by the usual suspects. It has to be against the Hydra's head, the international bankers/industrialists/politicians/jurists/admirals/generals and their massive cohort of supporting characters.

This is shaping up to be much more than a house cleaning in America, as it has to be to have any chance of success. Q's recurring plea's for patience are well founded. We're only going to get one shot at this, and if we fail, the resulting purge of patriots of all nation's will be Biblical in it's ferocity and bloodiness.
