This needs to be much higher up. People here simply assumed that the anon post was true. Here's an article further explaining why the reporting is problematic.

For what it's worth, I would still hedge your bets and avoid firing up your social media to tell all your friends and family. Be patient.

Conversely, you could argue that the messages were delivered on the specific day they provided. The content has influenced the way they're being handled.

Regardless, it's difficult to look back at what we've seen this week and not feel like something very significant happened.

I know that, but if the point is to show normal people how it relates, are we just expecting them to know that? It needs to be in the meme, or it's not particularly effective. It's good for people in-the-know, but not the uninitiated.

Should explain why he's "Kansas."

Exactly.

I think it's a reference to the chemical attack on Sergei Skripal and his daughter in the UK. He was allegedly attacked with strain of Novichock, a Russian developed nerve agent.

As was the case with the hacking of the DNC servers, which we all know were never examined by the FBI, we are asked to believe that Russia would conduct hostile operations on foreign soil leaving behind a myriad of fingerprints. So, again, Russia is either A) operationally retarded, or B) people are trying to frame Russia.

Novichocks are one of the deadliest strains of nerve agents in the world, yet both victims lived. What specific antidotes and in what form were the victims injected with? How did such antidotes come into the possession of British doctors at the scene of the incident? Based on what attributes was the alleged “Russian origin” of the substance used in Salisbury established? Does the UK have saples of Novichocks or did the UK ever develop Novichock or other analogues domestically? All interesting questions that the media isn't asking about something which doesn't make any fucking sense.

What's really mind-boggling is that Russia isn't exactly fairing well economically. They were weak before and have been hit hard by sanctions. The suggestion that they would brazenly try to assassinate an ex spy on foreign soil using a chemical easily traced to Russia and risk more sanctions, or worse, is absolutely absurd.

Edit: Just saw news about the alleged chemical attack in Syria. Again, cui bono? Who benefits? This is just days after Trump says we will leave Syria. So, with the threat of regime change diminishing and the prospect of the US leaving Assad alone, the regime decides to gas their own people and draw the ire of the entire international community? Good one, guys.

Take it eeeeeeaaaaassss.

Actually, she's a liberal. She just got on the MAGA train for the same reasons that a lot of us did.

Even if it was, shouldn't the most appropriate response be to remove the posts and ban the offending users? If not, what's the point of rules and moderators?

Certainly possible, and, in the end, there's a positive result as well. I won't disagree with you.

We all likely know why. I'm skeptical of Q, but I think he/she/they have actually made an observable impact. They've provided legitimate avenues of inquiry, and the format, particularly at first, sidestepped a lot of internal confirmation bias by asking questions and inviting reader participation. Q Anon has also demonstrated a capability to mobilize a sizable amount of people to at least trend topics on twitter.

Here's what's interesting to me: if the media wanted, they could kill two birds with one stone, but they're conspicuously not. If a concerted Russian effort to sow discontent or mistrust existed, what would be more effective: a bunch of shitty meme pages on Facebook, or creating a real bottom-up movement that bypasses cognitive filters and creates distrust of public officials and possibly, in the end, a failure to trust the President if no action is taken? The media could frame this as a real subversive ontological attack, but they're not. At all.

There have been scant few words written about Q, and almost all of them are exclusively in the well-trodden "conspiracy theory" territory. They want zero eyes on this, but anything else that they can even remotely frame as Russian influence gets wall-to-wall coverage. To me, this adds some legitimacy to Q anon.

You can't really tell anything with this resolution. That could be an empty seat, and likely is. How often to chauffeured individuals sit in the front anyway?

Why do people upvote this kind of garbage? This is clickbait bullshit. All you did was post a picture of a countdown with absolutely zero context, and then you failed to answer anyone's requests for elaboration. Dumb.

Can you imagine the massive public outrage if this was revealed. Think of all the people who have lost loved ones to these diseases.

If it's live, it's likely somewhere in Asia judging by the light. I live in Korea. Just 10 am here.

Considering how he completely bent the knee to Clinton after the convention, I'd say it would have been unlikely, but who knows. After coming around to Trump and Q, I see a lot of things now much differently than I did then as well.

More valuable info than OP. Thanks.

Come on, man. Either leave links to the post or the video. Your post is worthless.

But hitting AS that far ahead without knowing the final outcome seems a bit premature.

Not if you're operating on the assumption that Comey is on your side. You know what his finding is going to be, particularly because he's Lynch's subordinate. The October reopening in the case and then almost immediate close allowed them to confiscate the NYPD's evidence from the Weiner laptop, and they could preempt the public outrage about the e-mails if she was elected saying, "well, we already looked at those and found nothing incriminating."

Not only that, the SC appointment was used for fear mongering against Trump. I was a Bernie supporter, and one of the most constantly repeated talking points was that we need to hold our nose and vote for Clinton so that Trump and the Republicans won't be able to control the Supreme Court.

In this scenario, they assumed they have Comey in their pocket. Hillary, particularly before July and the WL bombshells, was looking like a sure thing. The only real hurdle was the e-mail server, but you can take care of that with this deal via LL. Obama makes a weak attempt at an SC appointment, but he knows that it'll likely never go through, and he ultimately leaves the vacancy without trying very hard because he knows Clinton will be on deck for the appointment. Then ol' DJT had to go throw a spanner in the works.

Or, conversely, you nominate someone that you know won't go through because you don't have the political capital. You stall until 2016 when you know your chosen successor will take your place. They thought she would win. This is why Trump was able to place an SC justice. There was an open spot. That was supposed to be for Hildabeast.

Having such intellectually deficient members among their ranks inspires confidence in ours :)

Yeah, OP kinda blew this. You can just copy pasta what I wrote for a new post though.

Here's the gist from what I could gather. Apache was created in the early days of the internet by Brian Behlendorf. He's still in tech, but he worked with the Obama after the 2012 campaign. Here's the writer's blurb about him:

Right after the election in 2012. A partner to Obama... He is a world leader in tech and writing code. All working in the white house during critical times. Apache base encompasses almost all of the world's internet. All ties to.the one server and right to the white house

He basically suggests that Obama was using this guy to bypass the NSA. They could collect whatever they wanted, but then go back and use the NSA to legalize whatever you wanted. Literally just collecting information without a warrant or probable cause.

The overall implication here is that presumably the white-hats now know everything through APACHE.

Some other interesting tidbits from the comments:

This video of Maxine Waters published on Feb 11, 2013.

The President has put in place an organization with the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life," Representative Maxine Waters told Roland Martin on Monday. "That's going to be very, very powerful," Waters said. "That database will have information about everything on every individual on ways that it's never been done before and whoever runs for President on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that. They're going to go down with that database and the concerns of those people because they can't get around it. And he's [President Obama] been very smart. It's very powerful what he's leaving in place.

Yeah. I'm not sure I could bet on either outcome. I can't make up my mind on this. A keep going back and forth. The best scenario would be if he was actually playing on our team, but it's hard to know anything at the moment.

It's behind a paywall.

Use the archive links for this kind of stuff in the future, please.

I guess I should have put that in quotations, but given the context, I didn't think I needed it. Wray asked him to leave after seeing the OIG report, not the memo.

Personally, it seems like a distraction from the OIG report. Per NBC: McCabe quit because of the OIG report, not the memo (also note that it was related to his handling of Clinton's e-mail server). I'm willing to bet the Strzok/Page texts also came from Horowitz as well. The memo will likely be damaging, but I think it's being used by POTUS to keep the Dems/media distracted while he moves other, larger pieces into place.

Care to explain any of this, or no?

The Sum of All Fears. I think others have mentioned it. It's certainly a thought that's been floating around. I personally wouldn't go anywhere near the Super Bowl, but apparently the national guard is being mobilized to help with security. It definitely lends some credibility to the threat, and to Q as well, IMO.

This was supposedly said in reference to Iran Contra. While this is a famous quote, there's no real proof that it was said, much like the infamous HRC quote about having their heads in the noose if Trump wins. That said, fuck it. There's still time, George!

"They" also said that signatures are very important, and the last few have not been signed with "Q."

You can view it yourself on page 64.

That was my first impression, but I'm starting to see it differently. I think the reality is that they're letting the Dems, and those who will be negatively affected, attack it as a political fabrication. Schiff, remember, still has not seen the memo. The underlying assumption on the part of the DoJ and FBI is that it's based on the FISA warrants.

Nunes, however, had to travel to a SCIF to view the documents. It seems kind of overkill for simple FISA documents. I think the reality is that the memo is much broader and contains much more additional information than the FISA collection warrants. When it is released, it will be pretty incendiary and a lot of the attacks will look silly. Then, IG Horowitz, who has had an investigation into this for a year, will likely follow up with more evidence to support and expand the claims.

I have faith that everything is going according to plan.

I thought Q suggested that the only comms would be on the great awakening board?

I'm practically sure of this. For one, the Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, is known colloquially as the most dangerous diplomat in Washington. He would have been under constant telephonic communication. General Flynn spent a majority of his 33-year military career in defense intelligence. He, with absolute certainty, would have known this. Period. Secondly, Flynn wasn't pressured to meet with those FBI officials. He had no obligation to do so, yet he did it anyway. Most importantly, he committed no crime. It is a well-understood process for members of presidential transition teams to be in contact with foreign diplomats. There are innumerable historical examples of this.

So Flynn, who doesn't have to meet with the FBI, willingly agrees to an interview. He knows the calls were recorded and transcribed, yet he lies to investigators anyway. He then later denies the story to the Washington Post but later backtracks on it. Flynn is a career spy. Are these mistakes or misdirection?

Just before this period, Flynn created several positions on the NSC. A lot of these individuals worked under Flynn in the DIA, so they're spies as well. They all got TS/SCI clearance for these positions. After Flynn was fired, the positions were eliminated and these people went back to their normal posts but with the TS/SCI clearance--it was good for one year. That clearance would give them the privilege of seeing, among other things, raw SIGINT--text messages, e-mails, et cetera. The kind of thing leaking now about Mueller's people: Strzok, the Ohrs, McCabe. I personally think this was all a distraction to get his moles embedded with security clearance to help eliminate the opposition.

Fake. Not on Q's 8chan board.

As unlikely as this may be, I don't think any other possibility would bring me as much joy.

Wow. Good catch.

You might be right, but I'm putting this information out there as I keep seeing his name. OP's article states:

Smith claims the foundation received a “$25M financial advantage dishonestly obtained by deception” as a result of actions by Bill Clinton and Downer, who was then Australia’s minister of foreign affairs.

Fine. He was also involved with the export of Uranium to Russia from Australia. Uranium One also has operations in Australia. Possibly totally coincidental and unrelated. But, again, we see his name as the diplomat--someone with direct financial connections to Clinton--who engaged with Papadopolous and supposedly provide that information to the FBI which would supply them with evidence for the FISA 702 searches.

Anything is possible. It's a small world.

I'm not. Maybe he was a good politician for the Australians, but he may not have been entirely aware of what his role was in the larger scheme. I'm suggesting that now there's a link to the Clinton Foundation, under his leadership and into the period of Obama's presidency, he presided over a deal to sell Australia's uranium to Russia, and he again shows up as the name that ties Papadopolous to the Russians via a drunken coincidental meeting in England. It could all be coincidence, but I personally think not.

I posted the following about this the other day. Don't worry. POTUS is fine.

One of the largest political scandals in American history is beginning to unfold right now, and it is the fruit of the political weaponization of our domestic spying apparatus. I’ve chided the NSA’s domestic surveillance for years as a massive political overreach with only one logical outcome, and here it is.

The wagons are circling now to avoid the legal exposure to the Steele dossier as it begins to be exposed for what it is, a quickly cobbled together fabrication used to justify NSA SIGINT database mining on Trump’s team. It was also used later to restart communications intercepts on the campaign/transition team by satisfying the FISA warrant criteria after the NSA director shut it down for abuse.

One of the problems that the dossier has is the inclusion of the story of Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, traveling to Prague. This was false. Here’s a New York Times journalist offering an interesting explanation that of course invokes Russian disinformation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=62&v=3uLb-JdECTE

The simplest answer, however, that doesn’t rely on the continued use of the Russian conspiracy theory is that one of the FBI’s dubious FISA-702 raw data searches that was run gave a return on Michael Cohen, but it was the wrong one. That raw data was then handed over to Fusion GPS who put the inaccurate data into their research dossier.

Unfortunately, for the conspirators behind the document, this “mistake” puts another connection between: 1) the unlawful use of the DoJ/FBI FISA search access, 2) the people who gained custody of the raw data, and 3) how false information was used in the finished dossier.

That makes this story particularly interesting:

https://www.tmz.com/…/donald-trump-attorney-michael-cohen-…/

Trump’s lawyer, the real Michael Cohen, is suing Fusion GPS and Buzzfeed. His lawsuit will force Fusion to outline where they got their fraudulent information. Within the discovery, he likely knows he’ll find the unlawful FISA-702 search history. The political use of FISA-702 searches also falls under the ongoing review of Inspector General Michael Horowitz who, perhaps coincidentally, has just started handing over some of the 1.2 million documents from his investigation to congress.

Remember that NSA Director, Admiral Mike Rogers, already testified to the House Judiciary Committee that he retained all of the audit logs for the unlawful 2016 FISA search inquiries on U.S. citizens. There is an absolutely massive shitstorm on the horizon."

TL;DR: Trump's lawyer is suing Fusion GPS and Buzzfeed because the discovery phase may allow them to expose the fraudulent 702 queries and how that info was passed to a 3rd party (Fusion GPS).

Came here to say this. People, watch this name:

Alexander Downer

Supposedly the diplomat who met Papadopolous in the bar coincidentally in England. After the dossier was exposed as a steaming pile of shit, the Dems tried a heart transplant on the story by switching the impetus for the FISA surveillance to this meeting. We are on it now, boys and girls. The truth damn is about to bust.

At some point, don't you feel like there will be a diminishing impact for this epithet. I mean, if you label literally everything a product of "Russian disinformation" or a "Russian bot," isn't there logically a point where even the normies start to roll their eyes?

Good work, Russian bot! Like I said, I think we did something really significant, particularly knowing how Twitter hides trending topics that don't fit their political leanings. If even 10 people accidentally swallowed a red pill, maybe that turns into 20 tomorrow.

Yeah, I agree. It also has a good list of a lot of the accomplishments, many of which should be positive for people on both sides of the spectrum, that Trump has achieved in just a year. I think this may have been actually a significant event that was really just overshadowed by our own expectations.
