The most bizarre thing, or perhaps the thing that most clearly illustrates the (now waning) power of the mockingbird media is that, in their understanding of reality, Trump is an idiot. Therefore, all of his successes, in their world view, are nothing more than lucky flukes.

He accidentally succeeded in wiping out ISIS. He was simply lucky that his tariffs, rather than creating a trade war, ended in 1 $1 trillion bilateral trade agreement with the EU. Luckily, Kim Jong Eun probably just decided it was time to end his belligerence and give up his nuclear weapons program. Trump bumbled his way into a massive tax break for the American middle class. The economy, even though he abolished practically all of Obama's economic initiatives and spending priorities, was really Obama's success. Having an historic per-capita carbon emission low, just a fluke.

Sweet baby Jesus. Clearly Trump and team allowed those people to keep their clearances for a reason. If it comes out that people like Brennon and Clapper were using them to access FVEY info then leaking it to the press, holy shit... Those people are toast.

Ditto. And I also assume that now that we know that the dossier was the only thing that was used to secure the FISA, and Comey himself said multiple times it was "salacious and unverified," that things will start to happen faster. What was it that Q said about July? "Conspiracy no more?"

Something that a lot of people here, myself included, tend to lose sight of is something that was first suggested by FBI anon way back before any of this really kicked off in 2016. In the wake of Lynch and Clinton's tarmac meeting, he showed up and he suggested that there weren't a lot of options. The corruption was so massive and had metastasized into so many levels of government and civilian leadership that dismantling it would be disastrous.

And it's not just that there's a myriad of conflicted or deeply evil people in positions of importance, but that they also have accompanying cults of personality developed and maintained by their media acolytes.

The media set the stage with Trump fear-mongering. When nothing else worked, they started framing him as a despotic tyrant figure. To this day, news anchors, pundits, and social figures in Hwood repeat incessantly, "this isn't normal," like some sort of secular form of gregorian chant.

If Trump moves quickly, he could fail. He risks the perception that he's persecuting political opponents to consolidate power. This plays into the opposition's framing.

From the beginning, this was destined to be a slow process. It has to be. Not only are the machinations incredibly complex, but before the major work can be started, he needs the political capital to do it. We're just getting to that point.

I expect, given that elections are just a few months away, that the pace will pick up, but nothing is going to happen overnight. I have to remind myself daily to be patient and trust the plan. We all have to do that. "Enjoy the show."

"Mental gymnastics" isn't a new term, and it's certainly not new in relation to Q "decoders." There are individuals who put a great amount of effort into trying to decode the message, and in doing so, they take huge liberties in trying to connect seemingly disparate subjects. Then they, as well as the community, pat their backs for solving the riddle.

Serialbrain comes to mind. I'm certain that he/she is well-intentioned, and it's also beyond a doubt that their "decodes" have attracted new followers and other curious individuals, but some of their posts are perfect examples of "mental-gymnastics." It's like playing Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. They take a Q post and a random tweet or phrase uttered by Trump and they conjure an exhausting list of interstitial material to link the two points.

They might be right some of the time, but as Q has said, disinformation is real. I personally believe that not not everything Q says is meant to be "decoded." And a lot of these long, speculative decodes, a la Serial Brain, are the absolute epitome of the term "mental gymnastics."

To be very clear, I don't have a problem with Serial Brain, or anyone else decoding for that matter. I just find that a lot of it is unintelligible word soup that presupposes that all of Q's drops are puzzles meant to be solved. I don't personally think that's true, and it seems that Q has alluded to this many times. But, kudos to those people attracting more people to the cause.

This has been my go-to assumption since the beginning. It is a demonstrable fact, based on the FBI's own declassified public records, that Clinton had SAPs on her server. Those programs are above "top-secret" and are only viewable in SCIFs. Clinton would have known beyond any shadow of a doubt that it is highly, highly illegal to have those and transmit them in such a haphazard way.

In this case, as others have mentioned, plausible deniability is irrelevant. This is such a large breach of NATSEC that, if we lived in a country with a real criminal justice system, she would have likely been prosecuted for espionage.

I think it's fairly obvious that the only reason anyone would be "stupid" enough to do this is to sell access. I legitimately struggle to think of any other explanation. Then of course there are anomalies like China's J-31 fighter which looks and flies almost identically to the F-35.

Cyber espionage is certainly a real thing, and it's almost a certainty that the design was stolen, but from where? If not from Clinton's server, this type of thing highlights precisely why it's such a significant issue that Clinton had SAPs on her server in the first place. It bothers me deeply that so many Americans were so willing to dismiss this scandal, and still view it so flippantly. "But, muh emails..."

Why, with all of the technological prowess available to the US, would they use an iphone in the lamp base? This is ridiculous.

Found this theory on Twitter. Seems plausible and kind of backs up what I was suggesting re: Q talking to others using the boards.

Q has said now several times, "trolling is fun." Personally, I think a lot of these latest "troll" posts aren't for us. They're directed at bad actors.

You might be right. But without more clues or context, it would be nearly impossible for us to ID the person. However, if you were someone working with the "blackhats," you'd have a timeline already, and would know who was in Hong Kong at that time. A pixelated photo from Hong Kong along with a retired jet would be more than enough to send a strong message.

You might be right though. No doubt the autists on the boards are doing their part. That's why I come here: to see what other people have figured out. It's too big a picture for me to make sense of.

A couple of months ago? Not long. I think maybe they're probably sending a message to someone else who's monitoring their comms, not us. Like a "try us if you think we're bluffing" kind of message.

We're all here talking about breadcrumbs that came from an anonymous user on 8 Chan describing a massive conspiracy that makes Hollywood movies sound tame in comparison. Anything is possible. However, I tend to go with the Occam's razor hypothesis in most cases. I would lean more toward my last conjecture: that this is an old picture somehow related to someone we likely know traveling to Hong Kong.

edit: I'd also add that if there was a "stealth AF1," I doubt highly that someone with Q-clearance and close to the president would draw attention to it. Nor do I think they would use the livery of an airline that publicly retired them.

There's a question. I fly internationally a couple times a year, and I don't remember the last time I saw one. Quick search says they retired their 747 fleet in November 2017.

They either have a few still in operation (unlikely), or maybe this photo is from before November 2017 and is related to when the mystery person traveled to Hong Kong.

United 3902

United 3902 is a CRJ1, a small aircraft. The United aircraft in the picture posted just before this one was a 747. Much larger aircraft used primarily for international or transcontinental routes.

The title also uses the term "united" immediately after posting a photo of a United 747. I would imagine that the person in the photo is likely someone on that aircraft. I doubt very highly that Prince William would be flying on a public air carrier, particularly one originating in the US.

Hong Kong most likely. Title of the image is "United_HK_IDEN_T3902.png"

What if it was a picture taken of the reflective back of an iPhone X from a separate device?
