Excellent points. Welcome to the group of folks familiar with history more accurately described.
You’re Welcome. Boom! It’s an awesome word!
I had lost interest in all but the humor and earth science threads. All the other threads seemed to be just sound and fury, signifying nothing.
My interest was piQued on one of the first Q threads when dear ransom was trying to decide if she should ask to lead her own thread to explore the puzzles. I’m so grateful it was allowed...but so disappointed that it is looked down upon.
It seems a lot of FReepers have forgotten how to think and research for themselves. Their knee jerk reactions to Q show a lack of discernment and openness. They seem jaded. They won’t go find out for themselves. They regurgitate what the media they claim to mistrust tells them.
FReeQs are willing to entertain the idea that the world may not be what it seemed. We’ve all learned and grown and laughed and been disgusted together. I’ve gotten another college education in the last year from all of the inQuisitive minds here on this thread. We’ve all grown millions of new synapses for our brains, as well.
I don’t care what the pundits, book writers, or website owners say, this has been a great learning experience on many levels.
My typing SUCKS.
Well Said!!
The oligarchy has been convinced by {....} that satan and his forces will win against Almighty God Yehovah at Armageddon and then rule the multiverse turning it into a tyrannical expansion of hell.
satan knows better but the charade is a great way to trash the maximum number of individuals for whom Christ died.

I am reminded of a short essay I once read by Albert Einstein about "Theories."
His subject was one of his great predecessors, Johannes Kepler, who discovered the laws of planetary motion that led more or less directly to Isaac Newton, and subsequently to Einstein himself.
Einstein's main point was that Kepler's original "Theory" was completely wrong, but it served as a powerful lens through which he painstakingly sifted the data until eventually getting it right.
Even Kepler's reasoning was "wrong" in the eyes of modern science. He theorized that the planetary orbits were circles (they are actually ellipses) set by God according the "perfect" intervals of the musical scale.
Hmm. Kooky, eh?
Without this preliminary theory to drive his research, Kepler would have never developed "Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion" which were so fundamental to the invention of the science of physics.
Where it will go
And it really doesn't matter if
I'm wrong I'm right
Where I belong I'm right
Where I belong.
I kinda think I belong here...with you all. I'm sure I don't belong "out there" as I have an aversion to closed minds and fuddy dudds!
Annenberg Foundation. Bill Ayers, Barrack Obama.
(If I recollect correctly before I go to bed.) Was located in the same building as Acorn in Chicago, 15 North Altgeld? They were on different floors. The building has been torn down.

Yes, that squares with my memory as well.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That's the bottom line, right there.
I see you know the pattern too well, too.
And...this is the part where Dean Winchester, dressed as Braveheart, gives his rousing speech and he and his merry band of patriots charge the English, right? I can so see you doing that!!

Well said!
Here's how I decided not to listen to the term "conspiracy theory" anymore.
Remember Monica Lewinsky?
When Hillary was first confronted by the MSM about Monica, Hillary went off on a rant about a "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy" against herself and Bubba.
This told me two things:
1) Hillary was a bald-faced liar. And a nutcase.
A woman confronted with evidence of her husband cheating doesn't break out into a prepared speech about conspiracy theories. She grabs a rolling pin or a meat cleaver.
But also, since I saw how ineffectual the GOP had been (even back then, how Bush '41 said "Read my lips no new taxes" then caved; then declined to run against Clinton, saying "...wouldn't be...prudent"...I *knew* there couldn't be any vast right-wing conspiracy.
2) And then, with that knowledge, that very phrase "RIGHT-wing"...it hit me like a ton of bricks.
Liberals ALWAYS accuse you of what their side is doing.
THERE MUST REALLY *BE* A VAST LEFT-WING CONSPIRACY!
Now, the objection to THAT, is, it's absurd, it would have leaked by now. Because people take their ideas of a conspiracy from something out of a Sherlock Holmes novel, or a James Bond movie: a group of 20-or-so people each known by a code number, around a large conference table, with a Dear Leader calling on them one at a time as they infallibly foment and carry out Evil Grand DesignsTM.
Well, no, not really. What happens is that not all of the plots are drawn out in detail in advance. Rather, a directive is given, and a couple of *strategies* formulated, with considerable leeway as to time, flexibility, and implementation. (E.g. take down the Catholic Church by attacking it from without, and seeding liberals and homosexuals into the hierarchy: they'll take it from there.)
And all it takes is one or two people in key pressure points in an organization, to cause all kinds of mischief: making exceptions for DOZENS of troublemakers who otherwise would be called to account and stopped.
So the thing is, the left is constantly launching little *probing* attacks: some are stopped, some backfire, some fizzle: and the ones which look promising are expanded, given more funding, and promoted on TV and other media (see Limbaugh's "journalistic fronts"). This gives the impression of a relentless juggernaut, since only the successes are announced: the minor failures are never seen or heard by most people...
Q is simply about 7 military intelligence folks, plus a few civilians, under President Trump, using the left's own tactics (with a little help from the NSA to supply information about their foes in real time...
I honestly can't think of one woman here who thinks that she rules this roost. We all have our parts to play. We keep each other not so much in the same lines, but at least on the same page.

PRICELESS POST, there. Veritis is an ARMY of so few, but of the true Andrew Breitbart legacy.
Incredible!
That…..was...AWESOME.
He pretty much said what we've been saying for the duration. Kinda. :)
I think that is the reality.
