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 awakening 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.

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.

NEW YORK—New indictments are expected in the wake of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s death by apparent suicide, as the case shifts to focus on unnamed co-conspirators, according to criminal defense lawyers.
MOAR ON BORGERSON
https://www.institutionalinvestor.com/article/b14z9qvl205nh2/cargometrics-cracks-the-code-on-shipping-data
Borgerson’s ambition to succeed was in no small part fueled by the early turndowns by many venture capital firms and a fierce determination to best the Wall Street bunch at their own game. “There’s a lot that motivates me, including — if I’m honest — I have a big chip on my shoulder to beat the prep school, Ivy League, MBA crowd,” he says. “They’re bred to make money, but they’re not smarter than everyone else; they just have more patina and connections.” (Bred differently, he spent last Thanksgiving visiting his parents in rural Missouri. After breakfast he and his father were in the woods, shooting assault guns at posters of terrorists, with Gunny, his father’s Anatolian shepherd dog.)
Borgerson’s plan was not met with enthusiasm from the company’s then co-CEO, Weitz. CargoMetrics had been gaining clients and meeting its goals, and was on its way to becoming a successful data service provider. Weitz, who now is president of the Gloucester, Massachusetts–based Institute for Global Maritime Studies and an entrepreneur coach at Tufts’ Fletcher School, did not return e-mails or phone calls asking for comment. For his part, Borgerson says: “A ship cannot have two captains. The company simply matured and evolved into a streamlined management structure with one CEO instead of two.”
Eventually, Doan went along with Borgerson’s plan. “We believe in Scott and that shipping holds the no-shit, honest truth of what the economy is doing,” he says. But buying out the venture capital firms several years ahead of the usual exit time would require a hefty premium over what they had invested.
Once again Borgerson’s early supporters played a key role. Manzi, a fellow Fletcher School grad who had mentored Borgerson since the company’s early days, put up more money (making CargoMetrics one of his single largest investments) and introduced him to a powerful group of wealthy investors. Separately, the CFR’s Morse suggested that BORGERSON MEET WITH DANIEL FREIFELD, FOUNDER OF WASHINGTON-BASED CALLAWAY CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND A FORMER SENIOR ADVISER ON EURASIAN ENERGY AT THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE. IMPRESSED BY BORGERSON’S “INTELLECTUAL HONESTY, VIGOR AND MORE THAN FOUR YEARS OF HISTORICAL DATA,” FREIFELD BROUGHT THE IDEA TO A BILLIONAIRE THIRD-PARTY INVESTOR, WHO TOOK HIS ADVICE AND BECAME ONE OF CARGOMETRICS’ LARGEST BACKERS. “I WOULD NOT HAVE SUGGESTED THE INVESTMENT IF CARGOMETRICS HAD NOT DONE THE HARD PART FIRST,” ADDS FREIFELD, DECLINING TO NAME THE INVESTOR.
A chance encounter in the fall of 2012 gave the CargoMetrics team its first taste of real Wall Street trading. Attending an Arctic Imperative conference in Alaska, Borgerson met the CIO of a large investment firm, whom he declines to name. When Borgerson confided his ambition and that CargoMetrics had developed algorithms to trade on its shipping data once it was legally structured to do so, the CIO suggested CargoMetrics provide the analytical models for a separate portfolio the money manager would trade. Live trading using CargoMetrics’ models began in December 2012.
MANZI BROUGHT IN LONGTIME BANKER GERALD ROSENFELD IN 2013 TO CRAFT AND NEGOTIATE THE MOVE TO MAKE CARGOMETRICS A LIMITED LIABILITY INVESTMENT FIRM. ROSENFELD acted in a personal role rather than in his position as vice chairman of Lazard and full-time professor and trustee of the New York University School of Law. The whole process took a year and a half. During that time Blackstone checked in as an investor.
Bradley, now an investment banker, has yet to invest in CargoMetrics, explaining that he is unfamiliar with quantitative investing. But he may eventually invest in Borgerson’s firm, he says, because “we are homeboys. I believe in him and that things are going to work out ” — pausing to add with a smile, “based on my vast quant experience, of course.”
Borgerson has been in stealth mode since CargoMetrics’ early days, when he moved the firm from an innovation lab near MIT because the shared space was too open. He is much more forthcoming when boasting of the firm’s “world-class talent.” The team includes astrophysicists, mathematicians, former hedge fund quants, electrical engineers, a trade lawyer and software developers. Hoogerwerf, who has a Ph.D. in astrophysics from the Netherlands’ Leiden University, built distributed technical environments for scientists and engineers at Microsoft Corp. Solomon Todesse, who works on quant investment strategies, was head of asset allocation at State Street Global Advisors. Aquil Abdullah, a team leader in the engineering group, was a software engineer in the high-performance-computing group at Microsoft. And senior investment strategist Charles Freifeld (Daniel’s father) has 40 years’ experience in futures and commodities markets, including nine with Boston-based commodity trading adviser firm AlphaMetrics Capital Management.
“All were self-made people; none were born with a silver spoon,”
Borgerson notes. One of his blue-collar-background hires was James (Jess) Scully, who joined as chief operating officer in 2011, after his employer Interactive Supercomputing was acquired by Microsoft.
“The team we built treasures team success, which is Scott’s motto,” Scully says. “We want shared resources, one P&L, not ‘How much money did my unit make?’” Both Scully and Borgerson say CargoMetrics is like the Golden State Warriors, a leading NBA basketball team known for putting aside personal glory and playing as a band of brothers having fun.
Borgerson says he fosters a no-ego policy with “lots of play because investment teams are built on trust, and playing together builds trust.” Team building at CargoMetrics includes pub crawls, picnics at Borgerson’s house, poker nights, volunteer work in a soup kitchen for the homeless, Red Sox games and visits to museums.
Trips to the Boston docks or Coast Guard base are intended to remind the CargoMetrics team of the real economy. There are also occasional “touch a tanker” days. On one visit to a tanker, everyone was amazed that the ship was the size of a city building, Borgerson says. “They could smell the salt on the deck,” he recalls. “Wall Street can lose sight of the real fundamentals in the world. I don’t want that to happen here.”
***UNLIKE THE ROTHSCHILDS 200 YEARS AGO,*** only a small percentage of the trades that CargoMetrics makes relate to beating official government data. Most simply are aimed at identifying mispricings in the market, using the firm’s real-time shipping data and proprietary algorithms.
At a whiteboard in his conference room, Borgerson sketches out CargoMetrics’ general formula. He draws a “maritime matrix” of three dynamic data sets: geography (Malacca, Brazil, Australia, China, Europe and the U.S.), metrics (ship counts, cargo mass and volume, ship speed and port congestion) and tradable factors (Brent crude versus WTI, as well as mining equities, commodity macro and Asian economic activity). Using satellite data with hundreds of millions of ship positions, CargoMetrics makes trillions of calculations to determine individual cargoes onboard the ships and then to aggregate the cargo flows and compare them with historical shipping data. All that leads to the final comparisons with historical financial market data to find mispricings. If CargoMetrics observes an appreciable decline in export shipping activity in South Africa, for example, its trading models will determine whether that is a significant early-warning sign by considering that information alongside other factors, such as interest rates. If CargoMetrics believes a decline in the rand is forthcoming, it might short it against a basket of other currencies.
“This is like a heat map showing opportunity,” Borgerson says, noting that CargoMetrics is not trading physical commodities. “We are agnostic on whether to be long or short, and let the computers spot where there is a mispricing and liquidity in the markets.” He sums up his simple, but still less than revealing, process by writing on the whiteboard “Collect, Compute, Trade.”

Brilliant mind that went to the dark side. Megalomaniac, psychopath. He had no remorse for his illegal actions telling confidants “criminalizing sex with teenage girls was a cultural aberration and that at times in history it was perfectly acceptable.”
Involved with sciences, transhumanism (using artificial intelligence and technology melded with biology), trying to extend life span or immortality like many elites:

Was he doing blood transfusions from kids? How many other elitists followed him and his fantasies, the depths of which we don’t know yet, like impregnating 20 women at a time at his New Mexico Zorro Ranch: https://www.businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epstein-transhumanist-what-that-means-2019-7
As he states in start of 2003 interview:
“I realize what I am. I’m very comfortable in my own skin. I’m not a helicopter pilot. What I’m really free to do is I feel free to follow my own personality. As we discussed yesterday, I can’t be totally wacko in what I do. It affects lots of other people who will get angry with what I do because then it affects me again. But on my own island or on my own ranch, I can think the thoughts I want to think. I can do the work I want to do and I’m free to explore as I see fit.”
He goes to remote locales and engages/pursues God-knows-what and he’s got a cadre of supporters and financiers behind him from DC to royal family to Saudi crown.
MOAR ON BORGERSON - FINAL INSTALLMENT
https://www.institutionalinvestor.com/article/b14z9qvl205nh2/cargometrics-cracks-the-code-on-shipping-data
Borgerson says CARGOMETRICS IS BUILDING A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH THAT WILL WORK EVEN WHEN CARGO CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED — ON CONTAINERSHIPS, FOR INSTANCE. It already knows a large percentage of the daily imports and exports into and out of China and island economies such as Japan and Australia. And although the firm cannot glean from its calculations on satellite AIS data the type of cargo, such as IPHONES FROM CHINA, it can measure total flow, which shows present economic activity. CargoMetrics’ data scientists are working on linking such activity to the firm’s data set of the past seven years to measure the evolving global economy. That will lead, Borgerson maintains, to more trades on currencies and equity index futures and, eventually, trades on individual equities.
“Uncorrelated” is a mantra of Borgerson and his team. Well aware that correlated assets sent the performance of most asset managers, including hedge funds, plunging in the financial crisis, CargoMetrics is determined to come up with an antidote. Careful not to say too much, Borgerson lays out the simple principle that the process starts with placing many bets among uncorrelated strategies in different asset classes, like commodities, currencies and equities.
The goal is diversification, staying as market neutral as possible and remaining sensitive to tail risk in different scenarios. CargoMetrics’ analytic models help find asset classes that are outliers. Those may include a publicly traded instrument such as oil, another commodity or an equity for which shipping information was a leading indicator during times when other asset classes marched in lockstep. THE HISTORICAL SHIP DATA IS THEN BLENDED WITH THIS NEW INFORMATION TO SEEK OPPORTUNITIES.
Identifying mispriced spreads among different trades within an asset class is another way of avoiding the calamity of correlation. Borgerson says the firm’s models will find instances where one type of oil should be a short trade and another a long one. The same goes for whole asset classes — shorting one that will benefit if virtually all asset prices plunge and buying another that will rise when oil prices gain. “We’re counting cards with the goal of being right maybe 3 percent more than we are wrong, as a way of making profits during good times and staying afloat during times of sudden, unpredictable but far-reaching events,” Borgerson says. The key, he adds, “is to know your edge and spread your risk.” CargoMetrics’ uncorrelated approach worked during the dismal first three weeks of this year, says Borgerson. Dialing down risk as volatility in the markets soared, the firm was on track in January to have its best month since it began trading.
To improve the firm’s models, eight of its data scientists hold a weekly strategy meeting, nicknamed “the Shackleton Group” after the band of sailors shipwrecked in the Antarctic from 1914 to 1917. Hoogerwerf and Ramos co-lead the group. At one recent meeting they were deciding how much risk, including how much liquidity, there was in a possible strategy; reviewing whether to keep previous strategies; and assigning who would research new ones.
The Shackleton Group’s meetings are free-form, with a lot of “I’ve got an idea” interjections that disregard official roles. “We hit the restart button a lot,” says Ramos, a former director of business intelligence and a quantitative economist at law firm Dewey & LeBoeuf who joined CargoMetrics in late 2010. “That’s why our motto is ‘Never lose hope.’” A bet on oil, related to Russia’s production, was stopped at the last minute in 2014, when Russia invaded Ukraine. Some currency-trading strategies have been abandoned in theory or after failing. Strategies the Shackleton Group likes are passed on to the firm’s investment committee of Borgerson, Scully and Ramos for a final decision.
CargoMetrics has a unique set of big-data challenges. Historical shipping patterns may not be as useful in the new global economy now that shipping freight prices are plunging, a sign that trade growth rates may be changing. And analysts point out how hard identifying oil cargo can be in certain locations and instances, even in more-predictable economic times. “While it may be easy to say that ships leaving the Middle East Gulf are typically carrying crude oil, knowing the type of crude is sometimes quite difficult,” says Paulo Nery, senior director of Europe, Middle East and Asia oil for Genscape, a Louisville, Kentucky–based company that analyzes satellite tracking of ships.
Borgerson maintains his team is well aware of the dangers of data mining and getting swamped by noise. “If you run computers hard enough, you can convince yourself of anything,” he says. To make sure CargoMetrics’ algorithms for identifying cargo are valid, the firm spot-checks manifest data filed at ports and imposes statistical confidence checks to guard against spurious correlations.
GETTING THE JUMP ON OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT STATISTICS IS LIKELY TO BECOME TOUGHER TOO THANKS TO THE RECENTLY FORMED HIGH-LEVEL GROUP FOR THE MODERNIZATION OF OFFICIAL STATISTICS. ALTHOUGH THE U.S. IS NOT A MEMBER, CANADA IS A KEY PLAYER HELPING TO LEAD THE MOSTLY EUROPEAN NATION GROUP (INCLUDING SOUTH KOREA) IN COMING UP WITH A GLOBAL BLUEPRINT FOR MEASURING AND REPORTING ECONOMIC ACTIVITY.
Reflecting on his journey to Wall Street — raising money, hiring employees with different skill sets, making changes to CargoMetrics’ culture, overcoming legal and regulatory hurdles — almost gives Borgerson second thoughts about whether he would do it again. “I’ve sailed ships through tropical storms, captured cocaine smugglers and testified before Congress [on his Arctic research],” he says, “but this was the hardest.”
The Ohio State University wants to trademark the word ‘THE’: School tries to claim the commonly-used word for its branded merchandise
************
Florida’s governor signed an act making the Florida State College for Women coeducational and renaming it Florida State University on May 15, 1947.
Florida State University likes to refer to themselves as “The Florida State University”, rather than just Florida State University.
Seems they have the same obsession with the word “The”.
Yes, it was uncanny, those prophecies regarding Trump, the videos of both still easily available today, online.
Many evangelicals followed Kim and Mark, I believe is Catholic, so their was a certain number of a Christian contingent likely made ready and able to stick with Trump, right through the Cruz state and national delegate hanky panky, during the Primary and Convention time.
My pleasure!
...course it could be option number 2: which is the libtard minions trying to tank the economy so the democrats can get elected in 2020.
I got 5% battery left. I read about Borgorson and his co, but want to know his involvement. I’m so far behind, but intrigued. Shit, now I’m at 4%. One day I’m going to buy a PC, but still not ready. It has been over ten years since my last pc died and used phone ever since.
I always laugh when I hear “The” emphasized in a college/university name.
I went to USNA.
Now try to say United States Naval Academy in a sentence without using ‘the’.
I can say ‘I went to Ohio State University’, etc without ‘the’ and it sounds fine; but I can’t say ‘I went to United States Naval Academy’ without it sounding odd.
Yet in every ad, reference, football game announcement ‘the’ is always said in passing - almost under the breath- on the way to the meat of the subject.
Jeffrey Epstein’s last words to lawyer before his jailhouse death
https://nypost.com/2019/08/14/jeffrey-epsteins-last-words-to-lawyer-before-his-jailhouse-death/amp/
Jeffrey Epstein was confident he could fight the child sex trafficking charges against him and was in “great spirits” just hours before his jailhouse death on Saturday morning — even telling one of his lawyers, “I’ll see you Sunday,” The Post has learned.
The convicted pedophile also told his lawyers that the neck injuries he suffered in an earlier incident at the Metropolitan Correctional Center were inflicted by his hulking, ex-cop cellmate, which led the lawyers to request that he be taken off a suicide watch, according to a source familiar with Epstein’s case.
Epstein’s optimism behind bars — expressed during daily visits with his lawyers that lasted up to 12 hours each — was so great that it struck some of those around him as “delusional,” the source said.

Great stuff about Ghislaine and Scott - thanks!
The Brit papers know where miss Maxwell is and are reporting it
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Interesting, thanks!
“I was just watching last night’s Hannity. About 15-20mins into the program, Greg Jarrett was making that very point about the need to interview the employees!”
Strangest thing. They all committed suicide.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
They did??? I’d love to see sauce on that! THANKS!
So, was Maxwell sitting with him in the plane call? Delivering her to “Europe”, or is she held by Barr in witness protection, somewhere?
Her father was despised in London, after bilking gazillions using his criminal financial wizardry, from others, while he and his family lived in opulence.
Price would be a factor for me but not for a billionaire, I suspect.
At any rate, I have finished with this topic. Focusing on this picture is a waste of time and a distraction.

Follow his telephone locations in google. They are already following the plane destinations. His telephone(s) would provide a wealth of information; also the telephone bills at his various properties.
Cross reference the phone numbers from his address book and phone history (and do that for the Clintons too) and find out what really happened.
Did he own a vehicle, then you can get the GPS and subscription information from Onstar or other services.
Whee is a hacker when you need one to get his emails, facebook, phone logs, etc.?
