Transcript of Riccardo Bosi's warning ["No consent. No consent. No consent"]

Ricardo Bosi explains what's really going on in the Ukraine (TRANSCRIPT and 3 minute video)

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.

Information warfare, and it’s getting more and more intense. To see images just click and scroll down. I find his observations useful; people who are not fond of Jordan Sather can bypass it.

Who elevated and enabled this chiropractor guy, handing him that highly visible platform in front of the Trump base so he could be instantly bestowed with credibility so everyone should listen to him and buy into his claims? Who was behind “Watch The Water”?

Notice how the Infowarsers and the TEAM are the ones at the forefront of pushing this venom water b.s.

Stew Peters - Mike Adams - Laura Loomer - Scott McKay - David Nino - Charles Ward - Melissa Redpill - Tarot Janine - Phil Godlewski - etc.

How many of these folks also push the NESARA b.s. & similar clickbait?

Same network, probably the same handlers.

I’ve been warning you about infiltration networks (one group in particular) descending onto the truth/patriot movement for well over two years now.

It should be obvious by now.

Jordan Sather
Don’t let the narcissistic folk out there mind control you into believing that exposing fakes and frauds is a negative thing.

“Be positive!”, they say.
“You’re supposed to be raising your vibration!”, they say.

Politically correct neuro-linguistic programming done because they want to stay in denial and keep drinking their kool aid.

Cognitive dissonance is a bitch.

Listen carefully:

Those of you after 3 days already telling me “We need to move on from ‘Watch The Water” and Dr. Ardis!” need to stop.

We’re not moving on.

We’re not moving on from a MASSIVE PSY-OP that was just launched against MAGA and the Trump base this week.

We’re going to do a FULL FORENSIC ANALYSIS OF IT.

Everybody who helped set it up. Everybody who punked millions of people with this.

There’s going to be accountability.

I am not just going to move on and pretend these people didn’t try to do this to the rest of us.

THEY WILL TRY THIS AGAIN.

AND THEN AGAIN.

AND THEN YET AGAIN.

What part of this are you failing to grasp?

Am I making myself clear?

Jordan Sather
👆I like Brian. That’s a warrior mindset.

This is an information war we are in, folks.

This is not a time to “play nice”, or to only entertain thoughts that make us comfortable, or to shut up when there is clearly infiltration and manipulation going on.

Mental strength is necessary. These are the times that build it. Do not shut up, do not run away, do not play nice.

Will Sommer’s new hit piece: “QAnon Leaders Push Followers Into Multi-Level Marketing”

Phil Godlewski, Richard Citizen Journalist, and Scott McKay are the features of this article.

You see how clowns like these are used to make the whole movement look bad?

JFK Jr. is coming back as Trumps VP, Hillary Clinton has been executed, NESARA, snake venom in the water…

All bullshit theories to invalidate all the truth we are exposing. It’s only gonna get worse as we approach for landing.

Did you see how dark it got around here the past few days after the ‘Watch the Water’ documentary came out? Lots of arguing and pointing fingers. That’s what they wanted. Now we find out that Dr. Ardis thinks Trump is deep state?

Be careful who you follow.

Jordan Sather

Notice how Stew & his production crew chose the name “Watch the Water” - a popular Q-phemism - even though the doc had nothing to do with Q, Stew himself has even called Q a “Deep State operation” before.

Nevertheless, the media is viciously attacking the production as a “QAnon documentary”.

Can you say, wrap up smear??

The Stew Cucks Clan probably knew exactly what they were doing.

In June of 2018, an anon who called himself “R” began telling a story about how JFK Jr. wasn’t dead and that he was secretly working with Trump.

R anon took advantage of a time when Q had not posted for several weeks. He launched the JFK Jr. narrative in an attempt to sow division in the movement and make us look like kooks (both of which succeeded).

R anon tried to convince the board he was taking over for Q. When Q returned, anons had to ask if R was legit and Q indicated he wasn’t.

The JFK Jr slide was a CIA operation intended to discredit the movement. This fact is well-known to anons. If you know this and you continue to perpetuate the JFK Jr story, I would have to question your motives.

If you were unaware of this, I would question your desire to know the truth since this information has been available to the public for almost 4 years.

If you want to believe JFK Jr is alive, you can believe it, but I will ask you to keep your discussions out of my channel.

👆Some good Q history from Praying Medic describing how the JFK Jr. stuff came about.

Crazy folk (maybe deep state assets) like Negative48 and others continue to perpetuate these theories giving the MSM easy ammo to attack us with.

Understand strawman arguments and wrap up smears, these are often used tactics in the DS’s COINTELPRO psy-ops

Juan O Savin’ fangirl Jennifer Mac is back to posting YouTube videos after a 5 month absence.

In a video published yesterday, she promotes Juan O Savin’s “107Daily” website, along with telling people to get onto Telegram and follow some accounts, including the “John McAfee Official” account (which is a total fake LARP account, but for some reason she apparently believes it to be legit for some reason)

A few months back Juan O Savin told David Nino in an interview that “John McAfee Official” (@McafeeAfterlife is the handle) is run by Q team - we have absolutely no indication that’s true. Interesting that Juan would claim that and now we have Jennifer Mac promoting that channel.

For some reason these influencers are promoting it heavily. Coincidence that the “McAfee Official” account also resurfaced the other day after a 6 month absence, similar to Jennifer Mac’s absence? Is whoever running that McAfee LARP channel connected to Juan O Savin and/or these Savin fan folks?

Kim Dotcom claims to “work with the data forensics team that analyzes the Hunter Biden Laptop”, huh?

That sounds sketchy.

Jordan Sather
“Assume bullshit until proven true” is a safer mindset to have these days.
Ohhhh Kim Dotcom doesn’t have a copy but he’s in “daily contact with the forensic team in Switzerland”.

Jack Maxey is in Switzerland (supposedly).

Sounding like Kim Dotcom might be a part of the coordinated bullshit campaign surrounding Hunter’s laptop.

Jordan Sather
Discredit the real contents of the laptop by pumping out fake photos/videos/emails.

Classic poison the well op.

Thank you, lj. I’m happy to see what others are saying. People here must be smarter/more discerning than the average information consumer because I don’t think anyone fell for what Jordan Sather called “this venom water b.s.”. We post information, others pull on the loose threads hanging from it and ask for ‘sauce’, we go back and forth, and we settle on the truth. Critical thinking ... just like they taught us in school before schools became indoctrination centres.

The second two may have something to do with the article you posted. Intel Slava is fascinating reading, many photos and videos, most videos are viewable for non-Teleg. users.

https://t.me/s/intelslava/25287

The Pentagon instructed the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to withdraw all the remaining artillery to the cities on the eastern front - Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye, where they can fire behind civilians. Restraining the offensive of the Russian troops is prescribed by small mobile groups armed with mortars and anti-tank systems, moving across the steppe in civilian vehicles. There is nothing surprising in the fact that the Americans impose terrorist tactics on their pets, in which their people are taken hostage. But the fact that Ukrainian resources write about this quite openly, and treat such methods with understanding, and as the only correct one, cannot but amaze.

https://t.me/s/intelslava/25339

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reports that the metallurgical plant named after Ilyich has been taken. Thus, the northern part of the Mariupol cauldron actually ceases to exist.
Now only the territory of Azovstal and the adjacent industrial zones and houses remained under the control of the Ukraine command.

KAlyna and Volyn (the commander of the remaining marines) whine that the Russian army is conducting an “aggressive offensive” on the last positions of the roosters. From Kyiv, they demand a military and political solution to the issue with Mariupol.

Of course, there will be no solution. All roosters will die.

https://t.me/s/intelslava/25348

Among the prisoners in Ukraine there are military personnel of NATO countries, said Klimov, deputy head of the United Russia commission.

“We already have prisoners among the military personnel of NATO countries, we will show all this when we conduct trials, and the whole world will see what really happened,” he said.

Just finished watching the Liberty Den with PatelPatriot, Kateawakening and Beerattheparade and the number of commentators who are buying the snake venom nonsense from the chiropractor is unbelievable. They were grasping at straws IMO so I just ignored them. But it shows how disinfo can pollute the narrative.

having said that Ardis has been on the covid/ anti vaxx wagon since the beginning...he was one of the first to question Falsi's remdisivir recommendation and firmly believes that it is the actual killer of those who ended up dying in the hospital....

Is China Screwed?

https://www.battleswarmblog.com/?p=51172

Excerpt:

Here are two videos where Peter Zeihan argues that China is screwed for many reasons, not least of which is demographics.

https://youtu.be/h-3kIsW4KEM

Takeaways:

One child per couple means that China is “the fastest aging society in human history, with the largest sex imbalance in human history.”

“They’ve run out of people of childbearing age.”

They were going shrink in half by 2100. “Then they realized that they had been over counting people for some time.” Then new data moved the date moved up to 2070. And now they’re saying it will be 2050. “For that to be true, the Chinese would have over counted the population by 100 million.” And all of those missing people are of childbearing age.

Their population actually peaked 15 years ago.

“We’ve seen a 12-fold increase in Chinese labor costs since 1991.”

“China isn’t getting rich, it’s getting old.” They’re facing demographic collapse within a decade.

Xi’s instituted a cult of personality, and silenced anyone capable of independent thought. “He knows that the country’s current economic model has failed. And he knows he can’t guarantee economic growth, and he knows he can’t keep the lights on, and he knows he can’t win a war with the Americans.”

Xi’s solution? “Naked, blatant, ultra nationalism. Ethnocentric ultranationalism of the Nazi style.”

At the top, they don’t care about keeping the lights on. “A third of the country is facing power rationing.”

“These are the sorts of things that you do if you know that the bottom’s falling out and there’s nothing you can do about it, and you have to shift the conversation to remain in power.”

“In China, money is a political good. It exists to serve the needs of the CCP.”

“All of the economic growth we have seen in China since 2006 is because of debt.”

Corporate debt is 350% of GDP, “making China the most indebted country in human history in both absolute and relative terms.” Every country that’s come within half of this has collapsed under the debt load.

I’m omitting discussion of how China is screwed on semiconductors (covered enough here), and also the possibility of invading Taiwan (this video was released late last year, before Russia invaded Ukraine).

“The Biden administration in bits and pieces is redefining strategic ambiguity, and it’s not clear to me what the endgame is here.” Well, there’s a whole lot that isn’t clear about the Biden Administration…

Zeihan thinks Biden might recognize Taiwan for a foreign policy win. Zeihan also thinks that both China and Russia are so weak we can wait them out. (Remember: Pre-Ukraine invasion.)

Zeihan dismissive of both Obama and Trump foreign policy.

“Joe Biden has been on the wrong side and the right side of every foreign policy decision the U.S. has made in the last 45 years, because he doesn’t have any core beliefs he tacks with the wind.”

Now let’s forward to March 24, where Russia’s colossal failure in Ukraine has actually made China even more screwed.

https://youtu.be/3z6IWyaO168

Takeaways:

The biggest damage that we are seeing from the Ukraine war (outside of Ukraine, obviously) is in China. Because in one month the Russians have pulled back the blinders on what has been a 50-year strategic program, the idea that China can come to global power with American sponsorship, with American indifference, that it can take Taiwan, that it can intimidate Japan, that they can dominate all of east Asia and yet not suffer economically at all. It was always ridiculous, but now it’s been shown to just be absolutely stupid.

No one can escape the power of global markets because of trade.

“The yuan is only traded internally because it’s the most manipulated currency in history. The euro confiscates bank deposits to pay for bailouts.”

Russia is the world’s second largest oil exporter, and it can’t export more to China because the pipes that go east don’t interconnect with the ones that go west. “The rail lines are already beyond capacity.”

In the west: “One way or another, those pipes aren’t surviving this year.” (Not sure that’s correct, but I’ve long thought that we should be seeing more structure hits inside Russia than we’ve seen thus far.)

“The stuff that goes to the Black Sea is in a war zone, so insurance companies will not give the indemnification that is necessary for vessels to operate in that area. So the only way a ship can go and dock it overseas right now is if a country gives its sovereign indemnification and takes all the risk.”

Primorsk, on the Baltic, is open. However: “Ship captains for the most part are refusing to go, and European dock workers are refusing to unload the cargo when it arrives. So that is still in use but not nearly as much, maybe a quarter of what it used to be before the war started.”

To get more oil to China: “You would have to build a fundamentally new infrastructure from the fields in northwest Siberia to Chinese population centers that is greater than the distance from Miami to Anchorage, most of which is through virgin territory that is very rugged. That’s a 10-year program minimum even with the Chinese building it.”

“We’re looking at the single largest removal of crude from the market ever, and in proportional terms it’s going to have a shock somewhat similar to World War II.”

We have insurance companies not doing it, shipping companies not doing it, dock workers not doing it and now Halliburton, Baker Hughes and Schlumberger have pulled out, and they do the technical work that makes a lot of this possible. All the super majors are gone, and we even have a couple of major projects out in Sakhalin that are probably just going to die because the Russians can’t make those projects work by themselves. Most of the oil and gas out of that goes to China, so we’re actually looking at an environment where the Chinese see reduced flows rather than increased, as Russia is just melon-scooped out of the market.

When the Russians fell under sanctions, everything that the Chinese thought was true about their future was laid bare as, at best, wishful thinking and bad analysis. So they are now looking east to the United States and west to the Russians in a little bit of a panic, because they are being tied indirectly to what’s going on in Ukraine. And they have now found out not only does the west’s and specifically the United States’ financial tools work very well, they now know they would work much better against China than against Russia, because at its core Russia is a commodities exporter, most notably oil, natural gas and food. China imports all those things, so if an equivalent sanctions regime was done against the Chinese, you’d have 500 million dead Chinese in less than a year from starvation.

Here I think he overstates the case, as there are a lot of emergency avenues a communist government could pursue to stave off starvation. Like invading Mongolia and turning it into emergency farmland. Which is not to so they wouldn’t have some starvation, especially in worse-case scenarios…

“The Chinese have always seen themselves as anti-American [well, the commies, anyway -LP], they’ve always seen themselves as anti-Western, anti-democracy and now they’re realizing that the mood of the man in the White House determines whether their country exists.”

As tight as the sanctions are, as big as they’re getting, they’re nothing compared to the corporate boycotts. Almost every single company that left Russia was under no legal requirement to do so, they just didn’t want to be associated with the war. And we’re talking about those ESG, social goody two-shoes mammoth companies like Exxon and Halliburton, who are now gone, and everyone else followed. So if that happened to China, you know that’s all of their investment that matters. That’s all of their technology transfers, that’s all of their end markets. This system, if it turned against China, would be far more damning than anything we’ve seen out of Russia so far.

I think Zeihan overstates the case a bit, and probably immanizes the timeline of crisis more than warranted, but the demographic and economic challenges China faces are very real.

Also keep in mind that no one in 1988 expected the Soviet Union to collapse as quickly as it did, either…

*****

Interesting take on China.
