Q ~ Trust Trump's Plan ~ 09/19/21 Vol.371, Q Day 1423

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. 

WWG1WGA!!!" ~ Q (#3038)

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?"

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 those who strip us our constitutional rights, we can't afford to let false divisions separate us any longer. We, and our country, will be forever made stronger by diligently seeking the truth, independence and freedom of thought.

Where We Go 1, We Go All

BREAKING – Maricopa County Supervisor Steve Chucri in Leaked Audio: “It’s Not Just Arizona, It Was Georgia, It Was Michigan
gp ^
Posted on 9/23/2021, 5:47:55 PM by MNDude

The Gateway Pundit has received groundbreaking audio recordings of Maricopa County Supervisor Steve Chucri that reveal how he truly feels about his colleagues, who have fought the Arizona Senate audit from the beginning.

The audio recordings were obtained by Shelby Busch and Steve Robinson, the founders of WeThePeopleAZAlliance

I wanna say, hey guys, yeah we might have pulled off an election by way of logistics but there’s some questions and concerns about the software and we should look into it. Don’t just try to defend something because we don’t know if it’s good or bad we’re not techno-geeks we don’t know anything about this.

And it’s not just Arizona, right? It was Georgia it was Michigan it was all these other states so it’s not just like it was an isolated incident with no proof.”

The United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas is seeking individuals who were trafficked on CityXGuide, a commercial sex website shut down by the federal government in June 2020, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Prerak Shah.

Prosecutors are requesting that victims — who are afforded rights under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act (CRVA) and may be eligible for restitution — visit https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndtx/united-states-v-wilhan-martono-cityxguide to submit their information.

The U.S. Attorney’s questionnaire will allow victims to outline any physical or mental health injuries they sustained as a result of human trafficking (information that is critically important to request court-ordered victim compensation at sentencing) and to share their thoughts on the sentence the judge should impose CityXGuide owner Wilhan Martono.

A VERY IMPORTANT writing.
In my opinion, THIS “memo” should be added to the Federalist Papers.

https://wendyrogers.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Memo-Re-Decertification-092321.pdf

The State’s Legislature can decertify ANY election under their Article II power and it cannot be interfered with by either the Judicial or Executive Branches.
They don’t have to “pass” a bill/law (which would require signature of the Executive, BTW.)

This needs to be read in it’s entirety and SLOWLY by all Citizens of the US.

Is this what you’re looking for? It’s the post with all the questions I think you’re looking for. I copied it and am sending the whole post as I copied it.

My wife’s employer said they would answer any questions her staff had about the vaccine. Really? Ok! Answer this m*** f*****! Well, guess what? She presented her questions to leadership. They brought in a doctor. He rolled up the questions and NEVER answered one question. May they rot in hell. Seriously, the depths of hell. These questions were never answered and we got ZERO satisfaction. I’d love to believe the work I put in here helps someone. I’m sure some of these concerns have already become obsolete, so check them carefully and fill in your employer’s name. Good luck pede’s. I wish these questions helped me and my wife. We’re looking for jobs, by the way. God Speed!

When does _____________ anticipate that the FDA approved Comirnaty will be available in the United States? Is _____________ aware that Pfizer, Moderna and Jansen are still authorized under emergency use authorization (not FDA approval). Only Comimaty has FDA approval, but it is not currently available in the United States. The FDA found Comirnaty was a legally distinct product and not the same as the Pfizer vaccine. Does this mean these pharmaceutical companies still have immunity from liability for adverse reactions?

Is _____________ willing to wait until phase 3 testing is complete so its employees can have access to the necessary data and analysis to make an informed decision on these vaccines?

It was reported by NPR that both Pfizer and Moderna tainted their phase II studies by contacting the placebo groups and advising the participants that they had taken a placebo. In light of this revelation, does _____________ still trust any results published by these entities from their phase II studies?

The CDC, the FDA, and the White House recently announced that they would not be requiring the vaccines for its employees. In light of the fact that the CDC and its employees have intimate knowledge of any short-comings or adverse events associated with the vaccines, and in light of the fact that the CDC was recently sued in federal court in Alabama citing a whistleblower who stated that the CDC is hiding 45,000 or more deaths from the VAERS system, is _____________ willing wait to see if the allegations in the federal lawsuit can be substantiated?

Recent studies have shown that people who contracted Covid and acquired natural immunity are 1300% more protected than those who received vaccines. If employees subjected themselves to antibody tests and/or T-Cell tests and proved they had natural immunity, would _____________ waive any vaccine requirements? If not, why not?

Recent data also shows that adverse vaccine effects occur 2-4x more often in those with natural immunity. If _____________ has any studies to the contrary, please provide those to employees for review.

What is _____________’s response to concerns of employees who have had family members take vaccines and have suffered serious adverse effects?

On Wednesday, July 21, the CDC initiated a Phase I recall of the use of PCR testing. The PCR tests were found to be unreliable and reported a high number of false positives and failed to distinguish between Covid and the flu. Is _____________ currently using PCR tests? If so, what is the cycle threshold of the PCR test used by _____________ to determine if a patient or employee is Covid positive? When does _____________ plan to phase out PCR tests? What does _____________ intend to use as a replacement to PCR testing?

The Director of the CDC, Rochelle Walinsky, recently admitted in a CNN interview by Wolfe Blitzer that the vaccines do not prevent Covid 19 nor does it stop the vaccinated person from transmitting the infection. The only benefit touted at this time is a reduction in symptoms for the vaccinated person. If Ms. Walinsky and the CDC are correct, there can be no benefit to any party other than the vaccinated person. If this is the case, why would the hospital have any interest in the vaccine status of its employees?

Would _____________ be willing to assign doctors to staff who get vaccinated to ensure proper monitoring and testing for adverse events occurs after vaccination?

Would those doctors assigned to monitor _____________ employees who are vaccinated issue D-Dimer tests within 10 days of vaccination of its employees to check for blood clots? It is worth noting that Dr. Hoffe (in Canada) performed D-Dimer tests in his vaccinated patients and found over 60% of them had blood clotting issues.

OSHA recently revised its rulings to allow employees mandated to get vaccinated as part of their employment to sue their employers for any adverse reactions. In light of this ruling:

Does _____________’s employee health insurance plan provide complete coverage should an employee experience an adverse event, or even death?

Does _____________’s life insurance policy provide any coverage in the event that an employee dies from receiving an EUA Covid-19 injection?

Will _____________ be providing Workers’ Compensation, disability insurance, or other resources if an employee has an adverse event to an EUA Covid-19 injection and is unable to come to work for days, weeks, or months, or is disabled for life?

The pharmaceutical companies lobbied and contracted for complete immunity if a vaccine causes injury or death. The vaccines available to the public at this time are still under EUA (not FDA approval) and, accordingly, still provide immunity to the producers of these vaccines. Anyone injured by these vaccines has no monetary recourse. If an employee of _____________ suffers injury due to an adverse reaction due to a work-mandated vaccine, will _____________ waive its defense of assumption of risk in any litigation involving such injury? Or, will _____________ insist that its employees should have known the risks in getting a vaccine under emergency use authorization?

As _____________ is aware, Congress granted immunity to manufacturers of the vaccines currently under Emergency Use Authorization. In light of the fact that citizens injured by these vaccines have no legal recourse against the manufacturer, will _____________ agree to help employees who are injured by these vaccines in any way either through financial means or through free health care?

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that EUA vaccine recipients be provided with certain vaccine-specific information to help them make an informed decision about vaccination. The EUA fact sheets that must be provided are specific to each authorized Covid-19 injection and are developed by the manufacturers of the injections (Pfzer/BioNTech, Moderna, Oxford/AstraZeneca, and the Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Janssen). The fact sheets must provide the most current and up-to-date information on the injections, and vaccine recipients must also receive information about adverse events. Does _____________ intend to provide its employees with these fact sheets and with current information on adverse events if you require vaccinations?

Is _____________ clinical leadership actively monitoring the available databases of material adverse events reported to date for people who have received Covid-19 vaccine injections (VAERS and others)? Potental and reported adverse events so far include death, anaphylaxis, neurological disorders, autoimmune disorders, other long-term chronic diseases, blindness and deafness, infertlity, fetal damage, blood clots, myocarditis, miscarriage, and stllbirth. What is the threshold in reported cases for each of the following before _____________ would stop advising its employees to take the vaccines?

Death ______ Anaphylaxis ______ Neurological Disorders ______ Miscarriages ______

The FDA’s guidance on emergency use authorization of medical products requires the FDA to “ensure that recipients are informed to the extent practicable given the applicable circumstances... [t]hat they have the option to accept or refuse the EUA product....” Will this option be available to employees of _____________?

The American with Disabilities Act provides three legally protected avenues to employees who seek to refuse vaccines. Those avenues include medical exemptions, religious exemptions, and conscientious objections. Will _____________ allow for these three exemptions if it chooses to require vaccines, and will _____________ provide a copy of your policy on these allowed exemptions?

With respect to the emergency use of an unapproved product, the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, Title 21 U.S.C. 360bbb-3(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I-III) reiterates that individuals be informed of “the option to accept or refuse administration of the product, [and] of the consequences, if any, of refusing administration of the product, and of the alternatives to the product that are available and of their benefits and risks.” Please provide the written policy of _____________ that would explain its authority to mandate vaccines that are still under an EUA, in light of the above-referenced act.

Under the Nuremberg Code—the foundation of ethical medicine—no one may be coerced to participate in a medical experiment. The individual’s consent is absolutely essential. No court has ever upheld a federal mandate for an EUA vaccine. In Doe #1 v. Rumsfeld, 297 F. Supp. 2d 119 (2003), a federal court held that the U.S. military could not mandate EUA vaccines for soldiers: “...[T]he United States cannot demand that members of the armed forces also serve as guinea pigs for experimental drugs” (Id. at 135). If _____________ intends to deviate from the principles established in the Nuremberg Code and Rumsfeld, will it provide a copy of its policy that justifies this deviation?

Since the Covid lockdowns began over one year ago, there have been over 178 reported breaches of unsecured protected health information (PHI), incidents investigated by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR). These breaches exposed millions of people’s personal health information. Some of the breaches to PHI fell directly under the 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), such as sharing a patent’s or person’s information with an unauthorized individual or incorrectly handling PHI. Can you please explain _____________’s obligations to its employees, under HIPAA law, and how you are going to protect their personal information? Has _____________ requested vacciantion status from the state reporting agency, and what if any, information have they provided _____________?

Article 3.2 (Human Dignity and Human Rights) of the United Nations Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights states: “The interest and welfare of the individual should have priority over the sole interest of science or society” see https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000146180

We have heard several statements (written and spoken) by our leadership implying that societal needs outweigh the rights of the individual. In light of these statements conflicting with Art 3.2 listed above, is _____________’s current position on bioethics consistent with Article 3.2 listed above? Can you provide a written policy to the employees of _____________ explaining any deviation from this bioethical principle?

Continuing with the United Nations Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights, Article 6.1 (Consent) of the declaration states: “Any preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic medical intervention is only to be carried out with the prior, free and informed consent of the person concerned, based on adequate information. The consent should, where appropriate, be express and may be withdrawn by the person concerned at any time and for any reason without disadvantage or prejudice.”

Does _____________ plan to deviate from this bioethical standard, and if so, will it provide a policy statement explaining why?

In light of John Hopkins University’s recent disclosure of higher Covid cases among the most vaccinated countries in Europe, does the hospital still have confidence in the efficacy of the vaccines? And, in light of this study’s findings, why is the hospital only testing unvaccinated employees at this time?

Is _____________ aware experimental FDA approval is not the same as FDA approval?

Will _____________ require all persons who visit or practice in our office to be vaccinated?

How many Covid patients have died at _____________ (your local hospital) since the beginning of the pandemic?

Is _____________ considering requiring all persons who enter _____________ to be vaccinated (including visitors, family members, volunteers, sales reps, etc)?

_____________ has indicated that all unvaccinated employees should wear masks. Will _____________ please cite any medical or scientific studies it relies upon showing the efficacy of face masks in reducing the spread of Covid?

In light of the recent finding by the CDC that vaccinated people can acquire and spread Covid and should wear masks, will _____________ require that vaccinated employees wear masks also?

Studies show wearing masks for extended periods of time is unhealthy. Do you agree this could be harmful to employees?

Some argue the size of virus is entirely too small compared to a masks, and give an analogy of trying to stop a mosquito through a chain-linked fence. If the argument is Covid is transmitted via droplet (not airborne), then don’t we all just need to be courteous enough to cover our mouths when we cough and sneeze? Wouldn’t it be true that a mask is not needed 100% of the time?

If all viral variants are less deadly after each mutation, why is _____________ treating the Delta variant more stringently than the original strand?

Would _____________ recognize employees who take Ivermectin instead of an EUA vaccine? Studies have shown Ivermectin used as a prophylactic is 86% effective against Covid. Studies provided by Dr. Pierre Cory back this data up. Are any doctors at _____________ willing to prescribe and monitor employees who would be willing to take Ivermectin?

Dr. Byrum Bridle requested the vaccine distribution data from the Japanese government. The released data showed an accumulation of the nano-lipid particle in the ovaries of women and in the bone marrow of men and women. Is _____________ aware of this study, and does it have a plan to counter these potential adverse effects if its employees suffer these harms?

Israel recently disclosed its Covid numbers revealing that the vaccine’s effectiveness should be revised from 96% effective to 40% effective. That number was reduced again to 16% for those who were vaccinated in January. In light of this waning efficacy, will _____________ please identify the medical benefits of taking the vaccine for those who have had Covid before? Please provide any studies that show an increase in immunity provided by vaccines for those who have natural immunity.”

effect . . . effect should be given to all the words it uses.” Marbury v. Madison EQ
