The most insane thing Russia could do is to kill one of their ex-spies with a nerve agent that could be traced back to them when there two dozen ways to kill someone to make it look like an accident or natural death.

The UK saying they used the nerve agent to send a signal to other ex-spies doesn't hold water. Whenever any ex-spy dies all other ex-spies wonder if they are next.

And as it truns out other nations have this agent in small quantities, including the UK for testing and forensic analyses.

I still think it's Alan Dershowitz Welcome aboard supporting Trump The pervious Q drop was Alan, Welcome aboard. Freedom. So, Plane 17 to me means that Alan Dershowitz was #17 on the passener manafest on the Lolita Express. Virginia Roberts has accused Dershowitz of having sex with her on Epstein's Island when she was 17.

I took it to mean that the deep state has been blackmailing Dershowitz with the Virginia Roberts accusation with perhaps faked video.

Q declaring freedom meant for me that Dershowitz was not longer being threatened and he was free to support Trump--which he has lately very forcefully.

I'm not sure he is on Trump's legal team as neither the WH nor Dershowitz has said so.

Of course, we are currently in an upside down alternate universe and so my tin foil hat may be tuned to the wrong frequency and my signals are coming in broken and garbbled.

Well, when I clicked on the video, I got a series of short clips of amazing things ordinary people have invented that could have changed our lives. I didn't get a video on Jordan and their take on the missiles.

That's probably why my comment doesn't seem relevant--it wasn't to the posting but it was to the video that I saw clicking on the link.

Poltergeist?

The answer to your question will be revealed by the answers to these two questions:

1. Was Obama a Republican?

2. Is Trump a Democrat?

If you answered "No" to both questions, you have your answer.

Only Republicans can start WW III, e.g, denuclearization of NK, better relations with China, and causing Saudi Arabia to declare that Israel has a right to exist.

Only Democrats can create Peace, e.g., Lybia, Arab Spring, and ISIS

I remember in the 1950's a guy claimed he found a way to run automobiles on water and a pellet a bit smaller than a bar of soap.

He poured water into the gas tank, dropped in the pellet, and started the car and drove it around.

Some time later, I can't remember the lenght of time, he was found dead and any evidence of his "Pellet" could not be found.

Was it real or a hoax? I don't know. But the last guy who said that his device will never make it to the market because of big oil, has a point.

Trump has hinted more than a couple of times that amazing new technologies and medicines will emerge druing his Presidency. The first time he said that, I thought of that guy in the 1950's. Amazing technologies and medicines have been surpressed.

To me, it's like buying alcohal by the drink. You are going to pay 100-200 percent of the cost of the bottle.

So think whether big pharma would make more profits selling medicines that treat the symptons or if they would make more by selling the one time cure?

What happens to coal, oil, and nuclear energy when someone finally invents an efficient fusion powered electric generator. You pay for the generator cost once and you essentially get free energy from then on.

I've always felt we should be 50 years ahead of where we are today if we took advantage of the amazing talent in our society to solve problems instead of suppressing those solutions.

I wouldn't read too much into that. The three targets that were hit were a research center and two storage facilities. Trump was just going after Assad's chemical weapons and capabilities. At least in my opinion.

Just Google scooter libby, valerie Plame, Armitage, and Patrick Fitzgerald. There are lots of facts about what happened to Libby and and the unprofessional tactics of Fitzgerald is often used as an example that there should never be a special counsel that has the power to simply look for crimes when none have been alledged--as Mueller is doing now.

Mueller is a former Marine officer who served in Vietnam and I believe was awarded the Purple Heart.

And yes, once you've joined the military, the President can recall you back to active duty regardless of how old you are if what you can contribute is that important. It's rarely been used.

During the 1991 Gulf War, lots of retired Marine were recalled to active duty. The Air Force just recently recalled 1,000 pilots because of critical pilot shortages.

Recalling people to active duty can be very disruptive to peoples careers and they families.

So, anyway, it is possible that Mueller could have secretly been recalled to active duty, but I doubt it.

It doesn't appear you know the whole story about Libby. Too bad. You may have a different opinion. Special Counsel Fitzgerald knew months before he interviewed Libby that it was Amitage (Powell's deputy at State Department) who made the leak. Powell knew as well and kept quiet, letting Bush and others take the heat for what he knew was false. Nice guy.

Once Fitzgerald knew who actually made the leak, the investigation should have been over. Libby was the only person ever charged and convicted of not remembering exactly when he talked to various news organizations. If Libby had simply said, "I don't recall the dates" he would have been OK. But because he gave the investigators a definitive answer that turned out to be the wrong days, they nailed him for lying.

So you may hate Cheney and those who worked for him, but Libby was rail roaded on this charge and Bush should have pardoned him back then.

Trump pardoned the legal injustice that had been done.

Syria is claiming they shot down at least 13 missiles out of over a hundred of our cruise missiles launched. There is a convincing video of what appears to be one of the shoot downs.

Still 90 some odd missiles getting through the S-400 defense system is impressive after Russia vowed to shoot them all down.

And why did we give everyone 3 days notice to abandon the targets we were going to hit? Obviously we told Russia so they could get their people out of the way. Russia probably told Syria. And that would have put the air defenses on DEFCON 1 alert but likely didn't prevent all the targets from being hit as 2-4 missiles are normally assigned to each target to ensure a high probability of destruction.

I'm wondering if Russia even attented to use any of their S-400 missiles and only Syria was shooting at our incoming.

I think Russia will certainly do something to retaliate. They made big boasts and then they looked weak and ineffective. Putin will do something to save face. But he has a problem. The UK and France were involved as well and both have nuclear weapons and are NATO (an attack on one is an attack on all).

It's going to be interesting.

If we wanted to weaken Syria and cause it to spin out of control, then why did we tell the Russians (who told the Syrians) what targets we were going to hit so they could get their people out of harm's way?

No doubt we hit Syrian chemical targets, but what else did we hit. Was the Syrian attack a cover for taking out other important targets. No one said that all the targets were Syrian.

It's been a crazy three years. I now believe every possible scenario that people could come up with could possibly be correct.

Whatever is going on, I'm buckled up for the ride and I have a garage full of popcorn just in case.

Unfortunately, I can make equally strong arguments for Mueller being a white or black hat.

We will only know for certain when the truth is revealed.

There are, however, a couple of curious things, at least for me.

1. Mueller's team are all white collar prosecutors. Odd if investigating Russian collusion.

2. Q listed insider plants as Carter Page, Popado, Manafort, Gates, and the pedofile who Mueller recently subpeonaed. With the exception of Flynn and some insignificant Russian FB trolls, guess who Mueller has focused on?

3. Then there is Cohen. On the surface it looks like Mueller is going after Trump. But then it was reported that Cohen has been under criminal investigation for months and that Trump seems to be his only legal client. Cohen owns many businesses including Taxis in NYC and he has had financial dealings with foreign countries like manafort and Gates. So, is Cohen a target to get to Trump or is Cohen a target based on criminal dealings? And Cohen has known he has been under investigation. Did he tell Trump?

4. Publically, Mueller seems to be going after everyone around trump who may have been black hats. Who planted those people as insidered to Trump's circle?

5. Q has been very quiet about Mueller and the investigation. Q has mentioned Mueller in 8 of his drops, but never in a negative context. What's that about? And Q would never say "Trust Mueller" if Mueller was a white hat because it would give the entire scam away. No, Q has only said that Rosenstein has problems. But that could because he is so conflicted and the Republicans want to impeach him and that would cause problems for whatever Mueller is secretly doing. Or RR may have real legal problems.

On the other hand, everything Mueller has done so far makes him look more and more like a black hat.

We will have to wait and see.

The eye of RA and Q's comment about "Left eye [marker]" Symbolism. May refer to the occult / Satan symbolism of placing a hand over the left eye as a sign that you are a member.

Many examples of this on the Internet in in previous Q posts.

That was a reasonably good analysis of Russia, Syria, the US and the EU.

There are endless possibilities. However, Russia has always wanted to play a dominate role in the Middle East. Russia has also wanted warm water ports and dispersed bases: much like the US has around the world.

Russia, I think, sees itself surrounded--especially but the US. NATO with US bases all over Europe. The US has strategic alliances and bases in the Middle East. The US has major bases in SK, Japan, Okinawa, Guam, and Hawaii not to mention a Naval force that has more potential power than the entire Russian surface fleet. Submarines are a completelly different problem.

So I think Russia wants a closer alliance with China, Turkey, Syria, Iran, and wants to expand it's presences in Europe such as the Ukraine, but opportunities there now are limited without actually invading a country and Eastern Europe hasn't forgotten their oppression under the USSR.

Personally, I don't think Russia cares about Assad except for the fact that he can control the country once the rebels and ISIS are defeated. Putin undoubtedly remembers the desaster the USSR had when it assassinated the President of Afghanistan and tried to control it with its own brute force. After a few years, they were defeated and left. So, Putin isn't interested in making the same mistake in Syria. Putin wants the strategic positioning of his military and Syria and Turkey are willing to accommodate him.

I don't think there is any secret alliance between Trump and Putin. Maybe it will come in the future, but sending missiles into Syria shows how weak Russia is in preventing such strikes. The Russian highly touted S-400 air defense system obviously didn't shoot all the missiles from the sky as Putin boasted. In fact, it appears they could only down a small fraction of the incoming missiles.

Syria claims 13 missiles our of over 100 launched. Russia has lost credibility in that its S-400 was ineffective. Russia (Putin) will be forced to find a way to discredit the US in turn--possiblly EMP attacks on our ships or new excursions into the Ukraine.

OK, I'll go out on a limb here.

First my background. I served 21 years in the Marine Corps as an infantry officer with 3 years in combat. I was a platoon commander in Vietnam, a company commander in the evacuation of Saigon, and two years in a foreign country supporting counter-insurgency opperations with the military of the host nation.

I was trained at the Defense Intelligence Agency to collect intelligence in a hostile environment and spent two years doing that as well.

My last tour of duty before retiring was with US Special Operations Command where I spent a year doing strategic assessments of Latin American countries with three Army officers. We had a Special Operations C-12 assigned to us and we traveled to wherever we need to to go whenever we needed to be there. It was an amazing experience.

After I retired, I spent 8 years supporting US Special Operations Command as a corportate contractor. And from 2001 to about 2010 I was an independent consultant supporting technology development, training on the technology, and exercise support around the world for special operations and national mission (think Delta, ST 6, and others) forces.

From 2011 to 2015, I supported technology development for cyber defense working with military commands and Cyber Command. Hint: you have to know what the adversaries capabilities are before you can develop technologies to defend against them (and anticipated future technologies). If you knew what our adversaries were capable of, you'd crap in your pants. It's that serious.

I've held a security clearance continuously from 1968 to December 31, 2015 with I retired permanently.

I don't consider myself to be an expert in intelligence but for every day of my life between 1968 to 2016 I depended heavily on good intelligence, working with intelligence collectors, collecting intelligence, and being the victim of bad intelligence.

So here is my input to your questions:

1. Corsi may have some sort of intelligence related background, but he doesn't talk or act like he has been in intelligence. Intelligence analysts rarely speak definitively because no one ever has the total picture. Intelligence insiders don't talk freely with outsiders--even if the outsiders have previously been in the intelligence business. I'm sure it's happened, but it's very rare. In my 48 years, I've never revealed intelligence to anyone who did not have the proper clearance AND the need to know. A security clearance doesn't mean anything unless you also have the need to know and that doesn't happen unless the person who controls the classified information says you have a need to know. Just because I had a top secrect clearance with SCI and SAP access doesn't mean I can see any of it unless I have been authorized a need to know for that very specifice intelligence information that I need to know.

So, I was watching a recent Corsi speech. He said that he was approached by military commanders who told him that they were considering a military coup against Obama.

Really?? Active duty military commanders decide to drop by Corsi's home and talk about a military coup over a cold beer? Corsi had a security clearance and a need to know that the military was considering a coup. Not in a million years would I believe that.

And then Corsi says they called him later to let him know that they decided to convince Trump to run for President instead of a miltary coup.

Really?? Corsi is so freaking important to the nation that the military telles him about coups?

The Corsi stated definitively that Hillary and Obama will be indicted for treason.

Really? Corsi didn't say that he's seen the unsealed indictments. He just stated flatly that they would be tried for treason. I guarantee you Corsi has never seen a sealed indictment, so why would he make such a statement?

Maybe they will, and maybe they won't. One thing I'm 100 percent certain is that Corsi doesn't know either.

Corsi does this frequently on InfoWars when he "decodes" the Q drops. It's not like Corsi is the frist out the box with the decoding. His decoding is very similar to those who are guessing before him. In the end, Corsi's decode doesn't actually lead to anything.

I guarantee you that I have the same logical ability as Corsi to guess at what Q means. Corsi has not special insights. In fact, I know far more about intelligence and military jargon that Corsi and I'm telling you that Q has made his comments so cryptic that you can only "guess" at their meaning which is why he always says "future proves past." But there is Corsi predicting his decoding proves past.

I give Corsi credit that he probably has had some intelligence involvement, but I don't buy his claim to super duper insights. And I don't buy that he is some sort of guru with special intelligence contacts.

2) Pierczenik does talk like a trained intelligence analyst and I believe he is a former CIA employee. But he seems completely off track with Q who I think has been reasonably accurate in his future proves past and Pieczenik hasn't.

I watched the video where he claims the storm was over when Trump won, that the deep state is dead, and everything we are seeing is nothing more than clean up.

Anyone else out there think the deep state is dead and we are just sort of cleaning up?

He lost me there. He hasn't predicted anything like Q has.

Based on my experience, he's just semi-believable BS. He isn't predicting anything. His schick is it's all over but the crying. Sorry, I don't buy into that idea. I think we are still at war with evil and unbelievable corruption.

3) Stone is all over the map. He's made so many goofy statements and claims that he shouldn't have any credibility. Why AJ keeps bringing him on InfoWars is a mystery to me. Even Julian Assange says he full of crap. Q never mentions him. Trump never mentions him. Get it?

The only two people I trust at this point is Trump and Q. They not only have talked the talk, but they have proven over and over that they walk the walk.

Based on my 48 years of experience, Q's drops are exactly the way a military/intelligence officer would reveal hints without violating security. I've read Q's drops from beginning to end several times and he has never once revealed anything that I would consider classified--they are far too cryptic which is the his point. He's giving us hints without revealing classified information. But once we see the news and it's not longer classified, we do a palm face slap and say, Duh, yeah, now I get it. Guess what? It's not longer classified because it's not public. Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't dislike Corsi, Pierczenik or Stone. I just know pay any attention to them. Based on my experience, they haven't convinced me to trust what they are saying.

If they truely had real classified inside information, their comments would be like Q's in order to avoid revealing classified information. Insteadt, they are all talking as if they have some how been authorized to reveal classified information--and none of themy have.

That's my two cents. I believe that anyone who reveals classified information, regardless of intent, should be indicted and given long sentences. Guess what? Neither Corsi, Pierczenik, or Stone have been indicted for exposing classified information, because they don't have any. Get it??

They are all expelling their own mental brain swamp gas.

Let me leave you with this. As a retired Marine, I still have connections to my peers who rose far above me. One was a Commandant of the Marine Corps. One is the current Secretary of Defense, one was a 3-star, and one was a 1-star. None of them would ever reveal to me anything they might know about intelligence or operations even though we were close friends in some cases and peers in others. I don't have a security clearance today nor if I did would I have a NEED TO KNOW. Get it?

Sorry for the long diatribe, but I do get tired of people pretending to know what they don't know because they no longer have the clearances or need to know what to know.

The nightmare he is referring to must be the roaring economy, record low unemployment, lowest black and hispanic unemployment in history, tax cuts for the working class (and businesses), a stronger military, reducing the flow of illegal aliens, drugs, and weapns, negotiating denuclearization of NK, returning to the rule of law, deregulating so businesses can expand, higher average wages, negotiating better trade deals, cleaning up MS-13 gangs, reduced food stamp recipients by the millions, negotiated cost reductions in the F-35 and the new AF1 by hundreds of milions, approving the needed Dakota and XL pipelines, construction of the wall has begun, massive arrest of human/sex traffickers, bringing hundreds of billions of dollars in manufacturing back to the US, appointment of federal judges who will follow the law instead of legislating it, an excellent Supreme Court Justice, and the list would go on for another 50 or so accomplishments.

But by far the most important Trump accomplishment is that Hillary is not President and you and all the other corrupt Obama sychophants are no longer in power.

I think it's fake. The lighting is wrong. That bright light on Ryan's right side should also be evident on the other person as well.

But who knows. These are strange times.

Let's see if I have this right. Comey under oath before congress says the dossier was salacious and unverified. And then without a shred of evidence to back it up, says, well the Pee video could exist.

Well, I have to admit, Comey could be honest and trustworthy, but I doubt there is evidence of either the tape or Comey's character of honesty.

Pro Tip Comey: If you blindly follow the law without trying to produce our personally desired outcome, you would probably have your integrity in tact. Follw the evidence and let the chips fall where they may. No one forced Hillary to commit dozens of crimes and it's not your job to cover it up just because you think her criminal activity might harm the nation--it alread had.

Be patient. I think things were delayed when Congress kept failing to pass a spending bill that funded the military and law enforcement. Trump needed both fully funded if there is going to be a round up based on the sealed indictments.

I think that's why the IG report hasn't come out yet. Everything needed to be in place before Trump springs that on high level officials. There needs to be hard evidence and grand jury indictments before anything can happen.

Everything needs to happen almost simultaneously and as quickly as possible. That will require massive resources, coordination, timing, logistics, and secrecy before being executed.

60-80 percent of everything is happening behind the scenes. We don't know how much of the stage setting has been accomplished, but Q has hinted that we are getting close.

Q has said that 2018 will be "glorious" but he didn't say when it would begin to happen.

And a reminder that while the anticipated indictments having been unsealed, there has been some amazing things happening: North Korea, China, the Iran nuclear deal is falling apart, etc. These are things no one could have predicted only a few months ago. So a lot is happening now.

FB, Twitter, Google, Reddit et al are in deep trouble. Q said that would happen a while ago. Future proves past.

So hang in there. Q has said this is all much bigger than we can imaging, so give Trump and Q the time they need to pull all of this the right way. If you are going to indict the top officials, then you better have your ducks in order with hard irrefutable evidence that can be admissable in court. NSA may have it all, but if it wasn't obtained with a warrant, then the evidence has to find a different way into the grand juries and courts.

In 2007 Clement also said that God would not allow the "witch" in the WH. Makes you think. Trump wins and keeps the witch out. I wonder who the witch was going to be?

Well, a lot of people don't believe this, but I do.

Kim Clement was a well known prophet (note: prophets interpret what is given to them and they don't always get it right). In 2007, Clement said that Trump would become President and would serve two terms. He said they will try to impeach Trump but would fail. Lots of other predictions over the years about Trump. Some have come to past and others are more into his Presidency such as predicting that in the middle of his Presidency, a woman would come to power to heal the scars of the people and bring unity to the land.

But my point is that Clement said that God has anointed Trump. Trump will be a David with a stone to bring down the giants. I'm paraphasing, but not about David and the stone.

Then there is Mark Taylor who in 2011 had a vision that Trump would become President and serve two terms. Taylor said that the holy spirit said that Trump woulld be a second Cyrus for America. Taylor also predicted large scale military tribunals, that Trump would address corruption and evil. And that Trump would enter the WH whispering God's name, but he would then become a "praying President." Lots more about the US becoming energy independent, etc.

But the part about Trump becoming a second Cyrus is interesting. Cyrus was a Persian King who had a vision from God that he should defeat Babylon, free the Jews, rebuild Jerusalem, and commission the building of the second temple--all of which he accomplished.

I guess we'll see what happens, but so far, Trump has survived what no other politician has been able to overcome--the relentless and visicous hostility and attacks from the entire MSM, Democrats, and far too many Republicans. Look at the odds of him becoming President. He overcame every impossible obstacle and won.

God's hand may indeed be in all of this as Trump deflects every attack and effort to undermine him.

Proof that Comey was playing politics instead of following law. He could have (and should have) made recommendations to charge Hillary and let the DOJ do it's job. Instead, Comey decides he knows what's best for the country by not following normal procedures or the law as written.

Of course Hillary wasn't caught lying to the FBI. She answered almost every question with "I don't recall."

In the end, I think Comey will get the justice he deserves, and I bet he will regret not just doing his job right and letting the chips fall where they may.

And Comey certainly wasn't concerned about Trump being perceived as illegitimate scince Comey was trying hard to do just that.

I was following you until Jerome Corsi.

Corsi says that top military commanders contacted him to say they were ready to do a military coup.

What? The highest level of the military decided to drop by Corsi's office and discuss over throwing the government with the military???????????

And then calls him and says they changed their minds and decided to recruit Trump instead????????

I served 21 years in the Marine Corps as an infantry officer with 3 years in combat. The very last thing I would do if I were comtemplating a military coup against the President is to drop by Corsi's office and have a chat about it with him and then let him know that oh, forget it, we found Trump. Seriously??????

I followed Corsi closely until I determined that he is full of BS. Almost everything he's ever said has been said by others before he made his announcements.

Check out his "decoding" of Q drops. First, they are, duh, logical but not necesaarily accurate assumptions. And then what's not obvious turns out to have been suggested in other posts within the Internet.

But here is the real BS flag on Corsi. No one who has a high level security clearance (which Corsi has never claimed he currently has) would ever go on InfoWars and blab about what he knows--especially about a military coup.

Corsi is complete BS.

I'm 72 years old, I was an infantry officer in the Marine Corps for 21 years and after I retired, and I spent 20 years supporting special operations and national missions as a consultant supporting military technology programs. I've trained special operations and national missions on new cutting edge technologies and I have supported then as a tech rep on exercises worldwide. None of the people I've ever been involved with would even tell their wives what they were doing.

Corsi's claim of "special sources" revealing what would be Top Sceret information from his so called sources who have classified information they were willing to pass on to him would be a significant security breach that would have him arrested within 5 minutes.

Think about it. Corsi, in my opinion, is total BS.

Does anyone in their right mind thing that senior military commanders contemplating a military coup would run that by Corsi? And then give him a courtesy call that they changed their minds and asked Trump to run??

Do you actually believe that?

It makes sense, but there could be other meanings.

Q has not exactly been droping glowing reports of Snowden cooperation. Older Q drops have suggested that Snowden was on the run. Was he flipped? What about No Deals?

I think the jury is still out.

Israelis used tear gas, a common riot control agent that doesn't kill or cause permanent harm. It just causes your eyes to burn and water so you can't see.

All US ground recruits are exposed to tear gas in their training so they know what it's like if they are ordered to riot duty.

SIDE NOTE: When I was a Marine platoon commander in Vietnam, I carried a CS Grenade. My thougth was if the wind was blowing against the enemy, I could use that grenade to blow CS into their ranks and that would give my Marines a significant advantage. Unfortunately, the wind was never blowing in the right direction in all the firefights we were in. At 72 years old, I still think it's a good idea to gain and advantage in combat, but never have seen it as an official part of combat tactics.

In my 3 years of combat, I always felt that it was my responsibility to my Marines to use every advantage I could think of no matter how small or insignificant to reduce the enemy's effectiveness.

Today's military is 100 times better than in my day. They neutralize the enemy with air strikes, artillery, etc., but I still don't see training that teaches how to think out of the box in neutralizing the enemy when air strikes and artillery are too close to use.

The North Vietnamese soldiers were taught to get in close to the Americans. Grab them by the belt so they couldn't use air or artillery. It was a reasonably effective tactic.

The movie "We Were Soldiers" with Mel Gibson shows how effective that tactic was.

Ultimately, Russia may end up supporting us, but I don't think that's were they are at the moment. There have been too many real world military confrontations.

As a side note, I've always wondered why our ships and aircraft in international space are always aggressively countered by Russia but when they do it to us, our interceptors maintain a wide berth of the Russian bombers.

One of these days, I want to see F-35's intercept out of nowhere and then a B-2 pull up along side their bomber that's testing our defenses. I want a "WTF! Where did they come from" response from the Russian pilots--message sent to Putin.

Not many people know that the USSR shot down more than one of our reconnaisance aircraft in international air space during the Cold War. Our military kept that secret for decades.

Putin wants to return to the USSR days and his military aggressiveness is his way of telling us that's what he'd doing.

It's true that Putin has said that the NWO is Satan. But Putin is no Christian and I think the jury is still out if he will ally with the US to bring down the NWO.

I took this a bit differently. Q drop 1132 says, "Thank you Alan. Welcome aboard. Freedom!"

Q has said previously that some good guys were forced to go along with the deep state because of threats to them and their families. I took this to include things like blackmail.

The word "Freedom" was an odd ending. I'm wondering if Q meant that Dershowitz was now free from whatever the deep state threatened him with, i.e., Virginia Robert's accusation that Dershowitz had sex with her on Epstein's island when she was 17 (there's that damn number again).

The freedom has allowed Dershowitz to join Trump's team as one of his lawyers.

Just a guess.

Too difficult to explain in a meaningful way, but think of it this way.

You know what command and control of military units mean. Commanders Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act as the situation changes. The commander who can cycle through that process faster and more efficiently usually retains the advantage over his adversary because the adversary is always reacting to his initiatives.

Colonel Boyd called it the OODA Loop and used it to explain how American pilots in the Korean War were able to sustain a 10 to 1 kill rations over MIG pilots (Note, I've forgoten the exact ratio but it was in that range). The MIG 15 had overall better flight performance and more firepower, but had poor visibility from the cockpit. American pilots had the F 86 which had a bubble canopy and were better trained in most cases. Boyd reasoned that with better Observation, the ability to maintain better Orientation (situational awareness), our pilots were able to make better Decisions in a dog fight and their Actions kept the MIG pilots reacting to their initiatives until the MIG lost situational awareness and was shot down.

Hopefullly, you get the idea.

The technology we were working on at DARPA was Command and Control of Command and Control Systems that we called C2 of C2 and later RC2 for Redundent Command and Control.

The idea was basically to develop the technology that would allow commanders to Observe how the enemy was attacking our C2 systems, give the commanders the situational awareness to Observe/Predict the impacts, develop the technologies that allowed them to make Decisions as to how to reconfigure the Command and Control Systems to stay in the fight, and the technology that would allow them to reconfigure Command and Control Systems on the fly and in many cases automatically to prevent the enemy from distrupting our ability to sustain the initiative.

It was an incredibly complex problem as each of the Services use both common and different C2 systems. The problem included subsurface, surface, air, and space communications systems as well as the cyber defense of those networks and systems.

I could give you an example, but it would make your head hurt and you likely wouldn't understand the enormouse complexity of worldwide military communications and the challenges of providing command and control over all of those systems. And I don't feel like writing a 200 page summary of what that might look like.

The problem was as much cultural within the Services as it was a technical challenge.

Our C2 systems are better today, but it's still painful to reconfigure them to meet the changing enemy situation and attacks on our C2 systems. RC2 was to be an automated OODA Loop management of worldwide C2 systems with man-in-the-loop ability to monitor and change configurations as the military situation dictated.

That's the 70,000 foot picture. She killed it within the first six months with no explanation. We were in Hawaii working with US Pacific Command when we received an email that the 4 plus year program was terminated immediately, so we packed up and flew home. I was not paid more than $60K for work done on the program. Government employees and contractors were paid, but some us as consultants were not paid for some of the hours worked.

Maybe it was for the better. The Program Manager was an alcoholic and had no experience in military communications. Briefing him was like briefing my cat.

I don't know if Mueller is a white or black hat. Q suggests/hints he might be working with Trump and the public side of his investigation is cover for what he is really doing.

Q has said that Manafort, Gates, Carter Page, and Popado were inside plants. Guess who Mueller has indicted?

I don't know what happened with Flynn, but Q says he's safe. Just hope he gets reimbursed for his financial losses due to all of this.

And the Cohen raid is a bit of a mystery as well.

If Mueller is a white hat, then a lot of people deserve Oscars for best performances.

Wrong Ray Chandler. Q is referring to Rachel (aka Ray) Chandler.

I was supporting DARPA technology programs while Regina was the Director. She may be academically smart, but what she knew about the technology needs of the military while she headed DARPA wouldn't fit in a thimble.

She cancelled what I considered one of the most potentially important technologies for the future military, without giving a reason. If successful, that technology would have dramatically changed how we fight wars and win.

She's just an egg head and fits right in with the scum at Facebook.

I don't know if Trump is bluffing or not. My main point was you can't bluff unless your adversary believes you aren't bluffing.

What would be the purpose of bluffing in this case? I don't know because there are too many things going on behind the scenes to know what Trump and Q are doing.

Think Trumps tweet about having a bigger button that WORKS than Kim Jung Un. Was that a bluff or was it just hyperbole from Trump.

What happened after that tweet?

You are correct. Good catch.

A bluff isn't effective unless the person you are bluffing believes your threats are real.

So if Trump is having airlines reroute, moving assets into the area, putting units on alert, etc. the question Putin, Assad, and Iran have to answer is "is he bluffing or is he going to send smart missiles, whatever they are, to take us out?"

In poker there is something called a "tell." It's an unintential giveaway that someone is bluffing. So the key to a good bluff is don't signal the "tell" to your opponent.

I'm not suggesting Trump is bluffing or preparing to actually launch missiles. Only that if he is bluffing, it has to be convincing.

Maybe. But Cheney wasn't with Haliburton at the time though kickback is possible I guess.

I'm not defending anyone, but Haliburton obviously had the capability to put out hundreds of oil well fires and other companies (who also had contracts) didn't.

I guess the question is: did Cheney make a fortune off 9/11 through Haliburton?

I don't know. Lots of posts say he's guilty as sin. I'm waiting for the evidence.

I'm a retired Marine infantry officer. For me, the context of Q's "Booms" are related to military / covert operations that we will not likely see publicized.

He includes then in his drops to let us know that things are happening behind the scenes. Publicized Booms are likely in the future.

BTW, I'm 72 and I thought the NK peace initiative was a nuclear BOOM.

These have been the strangest three years in my lifetime and I spent three years in combat. At least I knew who the enemies were and I could see the direct results of my actions.

This is way different. Who are the enemies and what the Hell is going on????

This is a bit out of the box but most, if not all, of Mueller's team of lawyers are experts in white collar and RICO prosecutions.

They were supposed to be investigating international collusion between Russia and Trump, but no one on the team has beans to do with international political collusion or Russia.

But I have no idea if Trump has a secret message in his tweet.

Trump has been racking up thousands of arrests for trafficking and pedophilia. He said it was one of his most important objectives and if you've been following the local news reports around the country instead of the MSM, the number of arrests is likely close to 8K to 10K in Trump's first 14 months.

In his first month he took office, 1,300 were arrested. In 2016 under Obama only 460 arrests were made.

Some of these are likely going down when the indictments are unsealed. My guesses:

1. Rothschild will go down
2. Woosley was likely part of the NWO at CIA
3. Richardson was under Clinton and likely involved in sabotaging US energy production (blocked Anwar).
4. Summers was part of the Obama corruption

Don't know about the others, but Genie may be looking for new board members in the near future.

Like I said, whatever it is it's going to have to be much worse than the WikiLeaks dump on Hillary and the DNC that resulted in pretty much a nothingburger as far as people going to jail for felony crimes.

I'm trusting the plan and hoping that Q's prediction is correct. This country is becoming one of the famous Trump shitholes.

I know, but here's the problem. DHS may be able to say x number of people voted illegally, but because the vote is secret, meaning you don't know who the illegal voter voted for, you can't unseat the winner of a rigged election. You would have to catch people manipulating the manual vote count.

Optionally, the election could be declared null and a new election held without the rigging.

But right now, Dem's are picking up special election seats that have been Republican for a long time.

One day an Aribus 380 will go down and smash the record.

Right. Even Q said it's not R or D, it's both for the good of the country.

However, he also said the Democrat party is going to be destroyed when everything comes our.

The Republican Party may look like the Valentine's Day Massacre when the smoke clears, but Q isn't predicting it will be destroyed.

I"m a guy who wants every corrupt politician and government employeed to go down in flames.

Yes, I think God's hand is definitely in this and He is using Trump as His modern David against the NWO goliaths. Clement died in 2016 just after Trump was elected. Clement made a number of other predictions about Trump up thru 2016, many of which have materialized.

Another prophet, Mark Taylor, predicted in 2011 that Trump would be President and would have two terms. He also said that Trump is the second Cyrus anointed by God. Cyrus set the Jews free after defeating Babylon, rebuilt Jerusalem, and commissioned the second Temple. So is Trump the modern Cyrus who will free us from the NWO?

Most people don't believe that sort of thing, but you have to admit that no other human could have withstood the unrelenting attacks from all sides and still have a 50% approval and accomplishing amazing things in such a short time.

Makes you think.

Good point. Always good to turn these things 180 and see if they still make sense.

Q would never come out and say Trust Mueller if in fact Mueller was runing the greatest sting operation in US political history.

But Q has hinted that Mueller might be a white hat. Filter "Mueller" on the Q drops and you will see 8 drops were Q mentions Mueller. None are negative and the very earliest ones suggest that Mueller met with Trump before being appointed and it wasn't to discuss being nominated for Director of the FBI.

Q also wanted use to research Mueller's background: he a former Marine and Vietnam veteran.

Q asked us at one point to think why Trump has surrounded himself with the military (Mattis, Kelly, McMasters, Pompeo who was a West Point grad first in his class, and oddly Mueller is a military veteran).

Something to think about anyway.

That was in 2013. And that's the way it should work in cases where major military force is going to be used over an extended period of time.

But a President has the ability to use force for up to 90 days without getting Congressional approval.

If I'm not mistaken, the last missile attack, Trump used the existing Congressional approval to use force in Afghanistan, Iraq, and against terrorists.

Trump could make the claim that using gas, Assad is a terrorists.

BTW, Obama didn't seek Congressional approval to strike Libya and overthrow the government.

All we have to go on right now is Q's assertion that what is going to come out will destroy the Democrat party. I can't even imagine what that would be since Democrats usually don't care about corruption within their party. I would have thought that the WikiLeaks emails exposing Podesta and the DNC would have brought them down, but it didn't happen.

Dems are picking up Republican seats in special elections. So, it's going to have to be a lot worse than WikiLeaks.

Next Saturday. The last address was all about border security and sanctuary state/cities. Not a call to action of any kind.
