Maybe.
b.) The NSA.
Hmmm. Q asks who are trusted patriots. Not sure if the NSA is considered a trusted source. Many at the NSA had to have known what they were doing was illegal.
I believe he is talking about the military.
I noted it as interesting that the implication was to:
1) have the RF of the alpha-intel agencies rise up from inside and purge the administators, then;
2) reformat the entire intel community into a single entity.
This makes sense in light of Q’s posts regarding JFK who despised the FBI as much or more than Truman.
I have always said that JFK was the last Truman Democrat (meaning the end of patriots in the Democrat party).
As I understand it, the NSA equipment which was created by Bill Binney, whistle blower and world class amazing genius and patriot, has taken control once more of said equipment. That equipment is said to now be narrowly focused, and does not grab indiscriminately at everyone.
In my mind, the NSA is now back (mostly) in the white hat column..... however, I could certainly be wrong!
