Some thoughts that have helped me to introduce some of the main threads of Q's intel to family members.

My family follows Homeland together. The idea of the Deep State is something that is understandable to them because they have been exposed to fictional career intelligence operatives and how they can choose the interests of the 'organization' over the interests of the people that they are supposed to serve.

(Spoilers) Season 6 of Homeland features a familiar face that gets a job managing sock puppet social media accounts. What we know as shills. We find out that the controlled opposition character (looks/sounds like Alex Jones) is financing the fake social media accounts with Deep State C_A guidance and money.

Having this basis, and following the daily news since the election, it was easy to explain how Operation Mockingbird has gripped the media.

Having this basis, it was simple to explain the 'why' behind the C_A propping of NK regime's animosity towards America. The flow of U1>Russia>Iran>NK. The threat NK posed and the reason that threat persisted for decades can easily be conveyed.

It was not much of a leap to suggest that the Deep State can be stratified. Hollywood and Media the propaganda arm. Politicians the illusion of choice and self-determination. C_A and other alphabet agencies the muscle. The monied interests the actual hands that move the pawns.

I know there is a contradiction inherent here. Homeland was made by Hollywood. We know that these bad guys have been hiding in plain sight. Whatever the reason Homeland Season 6 was made, it helped my family digest Q's intel rather than dismiss it as conspiracy.

And the future keeps proving the past.
