Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation.
Q describes this transformation as follows:
"The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but, more importantly, aid in the construction of a vehicle (a ‘ship’) that provides the scattered (‘free thinkers’) with a ‘starter’ new social-networking platform which allows for freedom of thought, expression, and patriotism or national pride (the feeling of love, devotion and sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment).
When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or the stable.
When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’.
"Free thought" is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma.
When you are awake, you are able to clearly see.
The choice is yours, and yours alone.
Trust and put faith in yourself.
You are not alone and you are not in the minority.
Difficult truths will soon see the light of day.
WWG1WGA!!!" ~ Q (#3028)
We discuss Q drop content on our threads to learn the truth about the capture of our country, after a lifetime of reading, watching and listening to lies and distortions used to control us and tame the American spirit. The truth shall set us free.
For summaries of Q drops (i.e., posts) discussed on our threads, I invite you to read the latest editions of The Oracle, which include helpful links and quotes to explain Q drop content.
Q drops can be found here in their original format.
Links to our Q threads, and Q drops posted on our threads, are listed in this table.
The video, Qanon is 100% coming from the Trump Administration, is just one of many excellent responses to the all-important question, "Whom does Q serve?" Another excellent source for identifying Q's involvement with President Trump is found at the website titled Qproofs.com.
Q Boot Camp is a quick, condensed way to learn the background and basics about the Q movement.
Q has reminded us repeatedly that together, we are strong. As the false "narrative" is destroyed and the divisive machinery put in place by the Deep State fails, the fact that patriotism has no skin color or political party is exposed for all to see.
In the battle between Good and Evil, we can't afford to let false divisions separate us any longer. The changes heading our way and the information revealed will, at times, be very difficult to face, but we will face it together. We, and our country, will be forever made stronger for having reclaimed the truth and freedom of thought.
Where We Go 1, We Go All

Around here the dairies are just holding on and I heard that one was getting his feed from Mexico, exclusively.
I live near a small border crossing and there are 100s of trucks a day while our farmers languish.
They are highly subsidized and their labor costs 1/4 of what we pay. Of course, they haven’t regulated them to death either.

Cesar P. Consing, President- Bank of the Philippine Islands

Published on Nov 25, 2013
Cesar Consing on Private Sector Views on Sustainability and Inclusivity of Growth

(The Trilateral Commission web site spells his name “Cesar” with an “s.” Other sites spell it with a “z.”)
AND
https://bpiexpressonline.com/p/1/752/president
“Cezar Consing is Filipino, 58 years old, Executive Director, has, since 2013, been President and Chief Executive Officer of Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), and a Senior Managing Director of Ayala Corporation, BPI’s controlling shareholder. He has served on BPI’s Board of Directors for 16 years (1995 - 2000, 2004 - 2007, 2010 - present), including 5 years representing J.P. Morgan & Co., then BPI’s second largest shareholder, and 3 years as an Independent Director. Mr. Consing serves as Chairman of BPI’s thrift bank, investment bank, UK bank, property and casualty insurance, leasing, and rental subsidiaries, and Vice Chairman of BPI Foundation. He is also a board director of BPI’s life insurance, asset management and micro finance subsidiaries. Mr. Consing is a member of BPI’s Executive Committee, and is Chairman of its Credit and Management Committees….”
He used to be with JP Morgan:
“…As a senior Managing Director of J.P. Morgan, Mr. Consing was a member of the firm’s global investment banking management committee and its Asia Pacific management committee….”
https://www.firstgen.com.ph/our-company/corporate-profile/
Among others, he serves on the board of:
“First Gen was incorporated on December 22, 1998 as a subsidiary of First Philippine Holdings Corporation (FPH), one of the oldest and largest conglomerates in the Philippines, that has interests in power generation, power distribution, infrastructure, manufacturing, and property development.”
They do hydro, natural gas, geothermal, wind, and solar energy. They also have a lot of corporate commitment verbiage about global warming, etc. BPI, the main company Consing is associated with, does have a charitable foundation. I did not try to dig into that for this project.
I had been thinking about how significant the Philippines are to the derps. We saw the islands as a trafficking base during the digs on CEMENT last summer. Recently we were looking at the Farkas family, the daddy of which spent a year in the Phiippines on a fellowship grant. I don’t know if Cezar has anything to do with that - it just caught my eye.]

NOT TODAY SIR”: TRUMP BUILDS U.S. STRATEGIC DEFENSES REAGAN STYLE, EMP-PROOFING AMERICA
Article about a lot more than EMP proofing.
It will also be interesting to see what Russia and China do, too.

Statement from the President Regarding Emergency Measures
to Address the Border Crisis
As everyone knows, the United States of America has been
invaded by hundreds of thousands of people coming through
Mexico and entering our country illegally. This sustained
influx of illegal aliens has profound consequences on every
aspect of our national life—overwhelming our schools,
overcrowding our hospitals, draining our welfare system, and
causing untold amounts of crime. Gang members, smugglers,
human traffickers, and illegal drugs and narcotics of all
kinds are pouring across the Southern Border and directly
into our communities. Thousands of innocent lives are taken
every year as a result of this lawless chaos. It must end
NOW!
Mexico’s passive cooperation in allowing this mass incursion
constitutes an emergency and extraordinary threat to the
national security and economy of the United States. Mexico
has very strong immigration laws and could easily halt the
illegal flow of migrants, including by returning them to
their home countries. Additionally, Mexico could quickly
and easily stop illegal aliens from coming through its
southern border with Guatemala.
For decades, the United States has suffered the severe and
dangerous consequences of illegal immigration. Sadly,
Mexico has allowed this situation to go on for many years,
growing only worse with the passage of time. From a safety,
national security, military, economic, and humanitarian
standpoint, we cannot allow this grave disaster to continue.
The current state of affairs is profoundly unfair to the
American taxpayer, who bears the extraordinary financial
cost imposed by large-scale illegal migration. Even worse
is the terrible and preventable loss of human life. Some of
the most deadly and vicious gangs on the planet operate just
across our border and terrorize innocent communities.
Mexico must step up and help solve this problem. We welcome
people who come to the United States legally, but we cannot
allow our laws to be broken and our borders to be violated.
For years, Mexico has not treated us fairly—but we are now
asserting our rights as a sovereign Nation.
To address the emergency at the Southern Border, I am
invoking the authorities granted to me by the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act. Accordingly, starting on
June 10, 2019, the United States will impose a 5 percent
Tariff on all goods imported from Mexico. If the illegal
migration crisis is alleviated through effective actions
taken by Mexico, to be determined in our sole discretion and
judgment, the Tariffs will be removed. If the crisis
persists, however, the Tariffs will be raised to 10 percent
on July 1, 2019. Similarly, if Mexico still has not taken
action to dramatically reduce or eliminate the number of
illegal aliens crossing its territory into the United
States, Tariffs will be increased to 15 percent on August 1,
2019, to 20 percent on September 1, 2019, and to 25 percent
on October 1, 2019. Tariffs will permanently remain at the
25 percent level unless and until Mexico substantially stops
the illegal inflow of aliens coming through its territory.
Workers who come to our country through the legal admissions
process, including those working on farms, ranches, and in
other businesses, will be allowed easy passage.
If Mexico fails to act, Tariffs will remain at the high
level, and companies located in Mexico may start moving back
to the United States to make their products and goods.
Companies that relocate to the United States will not pay
the Tariffs or be affected in any way.
Over the years, Mexico has made massive amounts of money in
its dealings with the United States, and this includes the
tremendous number of jobs leaving our country.
Should Mexico choose not to cooperate on reducing unlawful
migration, the sustained imposition of Tariffs will produce
a massive return of jobs back to American cities and towns.
Remember, our great country has been the “piggy bank” from
which everybody wants only to TAKE. The difference is that
now we are firmly and forcefully standing up for America’s
interests.
We have confidence that Mexico can and will act swiftly to
help the United States stop this long-term, dangerous, and
deeply unfair problem. The United States has been very good
to Mexico for many years. We are now asking that Mexico
immediately do its fair share to stop the use of its
territory as a conduit for illegal immigration into our
country.
The cartels and coyotes are having a greater and greater
impact on the Mexican side of our Southern Border. This is
a dire threat that must be decisively eliminated. Billions
of dollars are made, and countless lives are ruined, by
these ruthless and merciless criminal organizations. Mexico
must bring law and order to its side of the border.
Democrats in Congress are fully aware of this horrible
situation and yet refuse to help in any way, shape, or form.
This is a total dereliction of duty. The migrant crisis is
a calamity that must now be solved—and can easily be solved—
in Congress. Our broken asylum laws, court system, catch-
and-release, visa lottery, chain migration, and many other
loopholes can all be promptly corrected. When that happens,
the measures being announced today can be more readily
reduced or removed.
The United States is a great country that can no longer be
exploited due to its foolish and irresponsible immigration
laws. For the sake of our people, and for the sake of our
future, these horrendous laws must be changed now.
At the same time, Mexico cannot allow hundreds of thousands
of people to pour over its land and into our country
—violating the sovereign territory of the United States. If
Mexico does not take decisive measures, it will come at a
significant price.
We therefore look forward to, and appreciate, the swift and
effective actions that we hope Mexico will immediately
install.
As President of the United States, my highest duty is the
defense of the country and its citizens. A nation without
borders is not a nation at all. I will not stand by and
allow our sovereignty to be eroded, our laws to be trampled,
or our borders to be disrespected anymore.

Haha!
Looks subversive!
And I hope that particular story line remains fiction.

We already have enough invasion going on...

Hopefully it will cause all the Mexican products popping up in American stores and then gradually expanding, now filling entire sections of the shelves alongside our traditional brands. Catering to the “imigrants”. A 25% tariff would go a long way toward restoring our stores! MAGA and get Mexico out of our stores and make room for American products again!

Niiiiice!

Good find.
I wonder when the rest of the info on Smollett will come out. I think there is much more to this besides _______ and _______ .

Many stories today about NK executing people.
Some interesting points about these stories....
1. Source for ALL of them seems to be Chosun Ilbo. MSM/derp media are running with it. Non-derp sources are saying that Chosun Ilbo is a dubious source. There doesn’t seem to be any other corroborating source.
2. This supposedly happened in March and was reported in April, but for some reason is being widely reported now. Why is that? Someone has an agenda, perhaps?

Makes me think that something big is about to happen (or has happened) with NK/Trump.

I’ve noticed a lot of news stories lately about NK firing missiles, etc. It seems that the media is definitely trying to paint a negative picture about NK/Kim.
Who could ever imagine Hillary, queen of the bathroom closet server, as keynote speaker on cyber security. She should be able to tell them how not to be secure. Will she never go away!

Seen on another forum:
IOW he told them Cohen was testifying and that would end Trump's Presidency. Didn't happen.
