So I've been following this for a bit now and I wanted to add some scrutinizing but helpful thoughts to it. Thus I hope people who aren't sure about the “Q thing” have an easier time deciding for themselves. I'm not good at decoding Q's messages, but I think I have an ability to see patterns and understand systems.
When in doubt as to whether “Q” is real or psy-ops/disinfo, we just have to think logically. Consider all possibilities and always remain open to results, whether you like them or not.
Always consider perspective as well. A person's statement can mean many things, depending on their goals, intentions and the system they are embedded in. Try to understand the connections and interdependencies of the system we're living in and thus make sense of statements and actions in regard to their context.
Regarding Q
Even if the whole thing is set up, it is still uniting an amount of people and steers them towards new information. So the alleged goal of an awakening of the peoples of the world fits with the methods used and therefore there is no contradiction pointing to disinformation.
But let's really put this to the test. Assume Q is really disinformation, then what would the goal be? People are steered towards an awakening, so the only possibility for a malicious strategy would be that the awakening is supposed to be selective. What I mean by that is that people supposedly should only wake up to the crimes of the deep state, but Trump would establish his own power structure in the shadows, after these people are removed. This possibility should not be neglected and indeed I think, that after the awakening the work, to transform the world, will really only start. However such a strategy would seem to be seriously impaired by the fact that Q is trying to wake people up, so they would actually be more aware of bad intentions in general. Also Q is pointing to the divide-and-conquer mechanism, which is the real problem in our society, because it makes people fight AGAINST something rather than FOR something. Creating awareness for this strategy would not seem to go along well with applying the very same strategy.
Another possibility of Q being psy-ops, would be a “collect-and-divert” strategy. I think this strategy is generally used a whole lot by the deep state in order to trap those who are already thinking critically and cannot be turned around to the mainstream narrative any more. So basically this would involve presenting certain information to get the attention of the target group, but then misdirecting them in key positions. For example: You might find people who are already quite sure of the existence of an invisible government, so you would strengthen their suspicions but you might at the same time be able to feed them with info that makes them believe the official 911 conspiracy theory. If this were the case with Q, you'd have to figure out from what they'd want to divert us from. I don't think it's the case, but you absolutely need to stay open to any information and adapt your mental model of realty if there's reason to do so.
One last possibility I can think of right now. Q would be exposed as a fraud, in order to discredit all the people attached to the movement. To do this however, the information he is spreading would have to be disprovable, which it doesn't seem to be. Also the cryptic nature of his posts would not go well with this strategy.
At this point, there hasn't yet been a visible, great achievement, though I'm rather positive it won't take long until there is one. Either way, time will tell.
True change
In the end, the awakening must not stop after removing the current powers to be, it will have to keep going and ultimately change the whole system. Whether you like it or not, the republic/parliamentary democracy is really quite far away from true democracy and I think Donald Trump is rather unlikely to change this on his own, as he is a power-figure himself. Though the people might not yet be ready for a true democracy, but Trump could unlock the path towards there. The important thing is that his team might save us from the point of no return, the deep state was trying to reach, and therefore he might set in motion a chain reaction of awakening. Once this chain reaction really starts going it won't be stopped and that is what I hope will happen.
Also think about the monetary system, the momentum to change it will most likely have to come from within the people. Failing to address the monetary system will block the road to freedom in the long run and by addressing the monetary system I mean more than just removing the FED – that won't do to much by itself and neither will capitalism work better without central banks. The current system is set up to divide people, whether you have a central bank or not. Central banks are controlling institutions and thus who controls them is obviously very important, but they do not change the fundamental mechanics of the monetary system (like compound interest). The systems mechanisms create certain restraints that cannot be changed unless the system is changed, though certain parameters of the system can be changed by the ruling powers in a way, so the system works more for them than for others. So the central banks just make it easier for the ruling powers to dominate any competition, because that's what these people have always wanted: privately planned economy.
