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.

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.

Where We Go 1, We Go All
I was at a brake repair place a couple of weeks ago. (When I got new tires, Costco cross-threaded two of the wheel nuts so I had to get the bolts replaced -- at Costco's expense. Over $100 for two bolts.)
While I was waiting, a young woman came in for an estimate on an AC problem. She said she couldn't actually get it fixed because she didn't have the money, but she wanted to know how much it would cost when she did. The repair guy offered her a credit application, but then she told him she was going through bankruptcy.
The repair guy said, "Yeah, my mom's going through bankruptcy, too." And suggested she fill out the credit application anyway.
Supposedly only 1 in 1000 people file for bankruptcy each year, so either that was a 1 in a million situation, or the economy is worse than they're letting on.
People are really getting broke. Around here, stores don’t have many people, even Grocery Outlet! Hub and a friend who sell firewood every year can’t sell any. It’s just sitting there. Never had that happen. Fewer people on the road. Hub’s looking at cars, talking with dealers, online or phone so far. Car salesmen are desperate to sell, no one around here is buying.
Good! Serves ‘em right. And I do believe that there was some significance to the timing of the Open Letter. It doesn’t strike me as something that just happened to appear by sheer coincidence.

I agree. Consider the number of various military twitter/other sites have posted images with messages that are directly from Q drops. Many have. Sounds as the below drop means that dialed in operators know there is a plan and their part in it; they don’t know all the details of the entire plan.

Of those (LESS THAN 10 people) only three are non-military.
Why is this relevant?

Outside of a potential operator who has been dialed-in w/ orders (specific to his/her mission) nobody else has this information.

America’s Stolen Guns:
A Silent Contributor to Gun Crimes in the U.S. (2024)
https://ammo.com/articles/gun-theft-statistics
Excerpt:
How Many Guns Are Stolen Each Year?
Stolen firearms are challenging to track and even more challenging to recover. However, many law enforcement agencies report stolen firearms to the ATF.
Firearms are more likely to be stolen from private owners than FFL dealers or while in transit (from the manufacturer to the dealer, for example).
Number of Stolen from Private Owners
2021 - 201,731
2020 - 208,799
2019 - 192,151
2018 - 201,979
2017 - 221,898
Number of Stolen from FFL Dealers
2021 - 2,967
2020 - 6,058
2019 - 4,512
2018 - 5,636
2017 - 7,869
Number of Stolen in Transit (UPS, FedEx, USPS, etc.)
2021 - 5,378
2020 - 2,814
2019 - 1,400
2018 - 1,714
2017 - 1,839
Note: Due to existing transportation laws, firearms stolen in transit are typically being shipped from a manufacturer to an FFL dealer.
How Many Stolen Guns Are Used in Crimes?
Criminals in the U.S. are more likely to purchase a pistol from an underground market than any other source or firearm type. In addition, state inmates with firearms were more likely to use them than federal inmates.
What Percentage of Guns Used By Criminals Were Stolen?
It is estimated that 10% of stolen guns are actually used in crimes. The basis for this number is that criminals can access firearms faster by purchasing them off the street or from an underground market.
5% of state inmates in possession of a gun used it during the commission of their crimes
2% of inmates report purchasing a firearm from an underground market
20% of inmates reportedly obtained a firearm solely for the purpose of committing a crime
9% of firearms used during the commission of a crime were not purchased via FFL dealers
8% of firearms used in crimes were purchased at gun shows
3% of inmates used a firearm that they purchased from a retail source
What Percentage of Stolen Guns Were Used in Crimes?
Although we can’t be sure how many stolen guns were used in crimes, we can investigate how many criminals actually used a firearm they were in possession of during their crimes.
6% of inmates fired shots during the commission of their crimes
1% killed someone
4% injured a victim
7% of inmates discharged a firearm but did not injure anyone
5% of state inmates did not discharge a firearm while in possession of it
What Crimes Are Associated with Stolen Guns?
While the ATF and Attorney General Merrick Garland focus on reducing illegal straw purchases, the data shows that the vast majority of firearms are sold long before they’re recovered as crime guns.
Only 11% of firearms traced by the ATF in 2021 were used in a crime within the first 90 days of purchase. Meanwhile, more than 46% of crime guns had a time to crime of more than 36 months. It would appear that firearms are not being purchased via legal means by purchasers intent on committing crimes.
In 2021, 12,192 firearms were sourced in homicides, and 31,605 were used in dangerous drug-related offenses. 106,524 were recovered under the Possession of a Weapon category.
Stolen Gun Statistics
Police departments nationally have implemented a 9 pm Routine to broadcast reminders every evening at 9 pm to ensure homeowners are securing valuables, including firearms. While the jury is still out on whether these actually impact stolen guns, civilian-owned firearms are most likely to be stolen from vehicles and homes.
How Many Guns Are Stolen from Cars Each Year?
The vast majority of firearms stolen from private citizens are pistols left in cars. Cities in Tennessee and South Carolina have experienced the highest number of firearms reported stolen from vehicles in recent years.
Guns Stolen in Cars Fast Facts:
80% of firearms stolen in Nashville, TN, were stolen from vehicles (1,014) - 2023
2,441 firearms stolen from vehicles in 2022 Shelby County, TN
Hamilton County, TN, has been issuing warnings for years due to the increase in firearms stolen from unlocked vehicles
⅓ of firearms stolen in Columbia, SC, were reportedly taken from unlocked vehicles
.....How Often Are Stolen Guns Recovered?
Unfortunately, recovering stolen firearms tends to be a daunting task for local and federal law enforcement agencies. Guns stolen from private citizens are the least likely to be recovered in a timely manner.
.....What If My Gun Is Stolen and Used in a Crime?
State laws vary, but many DAs can prosecute victims of firearm theft under various statutes. It’s important to keep track of your firearm’s serial numbers and report theft to local law enforcement. Furthermore, evidence supports that leaving guns in cars greatly increases the likelihood they will be stolen.
How do I know if a gun is stolen?
There are many third-party websites that claim to allow users to run serial numbers. However, the only guaranteed way to ensure you’re purchasing a firearm that isn’t stolen is through law enforcement.
Report Highlights
1,074,022 firearms were reported stolen in the U.S. from 2017-2021
Only 1.3% of criminals used a firearm that was purchased from an FFL during the commission of a crime, based on a 2016 survey
89% of inmates reported that they possessed a firearm during the commission of a crime that was not obtained at a retailer (FFL Dealer)
56% of inmates arrested with a firearm at the time of their crimes stated they had stolen it
11% of crime guns recovered in 2021 were purchased within 90 days, while 46% were purchased more than 36 months prior to the crime
Firearm thefts from vehicles have risen more than 25% over the past decade
Southern states report more stolen guns than other regions of the U.S.

Is it Over?

Excerpt:
It took three long years for Sickness Psychosis to wane. Eventually, enough people figured out that the sickness was mostly in the mind – and that wearing “masks” wasn’t the cure for it.
EV Fever seems to be following a similar trajectory. Finally. It may now be at the point that “masking” was at about two years ago. As in, people are getting over it. And so, apparently, is the stock market.
Tesla stock is down 15 percent, representing a $94 billion loss so far. Bloomberg News styles this a “reality check as EV winter sets in.” The Financial Post says 2024 is the company’s “worst start to any year – ever.”
Part of the reason why has to do with fleet sales tanking. Car companies rely on these to move models that otherwise don’t sell well; fleet sales also fluff the numbers – making it appear there’s more retail demand for a given model than there is. Hertz – the rental car company – was a fleet buyer of Teslas. It very publicly dumped its fleet of these devices a few weeks ago.
The cold has not helped.
Or rather, it has – in the way that therapy can help a person afflicted by mental illness. Buyers of Tesla devices found out battery powered devices “work” in cold weather kind of like “masks” work when it comes to “stopping the spread.” Nothing cures a delusion better than a reality the afflicted has to deal with – such as shivering in the freezing cold waiting hours for their device to recharge. And even if these deluded people continue to wallow in their delusions – like those who continue to “mask” – the reality has become undeniable to others.
Rivian and Lucid – which make battery powered devices even more pricey than Teslas, are in even worse shape, chiefly because they (like the Vietnamese device-maker VinFast) got into the device-making game late, after the peak of EV Fever. By which time most of the affluent people who wanted and could afford a device that cost twice as much as a car (and that only went about half as far) had bought one (a Tesla, probably) already. Device or not, there are only so many people who can afford to spend the $50k-plus it takes to buy anything.
.....It explains why Ford has drastically cut back on its “investment” in devices such as the $50k-to-start Lightning, which looks like the F-150 pick-up. The problem is that people who want a truck aren’t interested in buying something that looks like a truck, yet the production line continued to manufacture them – because the government’s regulatory regime has (effectively) required Ford to manufacture them. Selling these compliance devices is another thing.
The bulk of these sit unsold on dealers’ back lots, accruing interest payments and bleeding charge. Some 4,000 Ford dealers have said what the boxer Roberto Duran said back in the ’80s when he couldn’t take the beating anymore.
No mas!
Volvo’s EV spinoff, Polestar, isn’t just dying. It is essentially dead – financially speaking. Analysts for the Swedish bank SEB recently – publicly – said that Polestar is worth nothing. Ultra-expensive device maker Fisker is similarly on the edge of the abyss. GM’s Cadillac division – which has promised to offer nothing but devices by 2030 – is likely to be gone not long after 2030.
Along with other once-premium brands like Mercedes-Benz, which has also promised to offer devices exclusively by then. Which will mean the end of the exclusiveness of these brands, when all they are is expensive. When all they’re selling is the same thing everyone else is selling – but for twice or three times as much.
How much is an oversized plastic three pointed star worth paying for? (My saying so publicly probably is why Mercedes no longer sends me its devices to test drive.)
When EV Fever first etiolated, Tesla was able to rely on the cashflow it sucked from other car manufacturers – i.e., those who made cars rather than devices. They had to buy “zero emissions” credits from Tesla in order to be able to continue manufacturing cars rather than devices, thereby subsidizing the growth of their government-mandated “competition.” But that revenue stream has dried up because every major car manufacturer is now a device manufacturer – and gets credit for manufacturing its own “zero emissions” devices.
This leaves Tesla having to rely on sales – and stock market valuations based upon sales expectations. Which are diminishing as “EV winter sets in.”
Channeling Monty Burns from The Simpsons TV show:
Excellent!
It’s as encouraging to read about the declining interest in devices as it was to see people taking off their “masks” two years ago.
Signs of health are always encouraging.
THE JIG IS UP: TOXIC OREOS LOWER LDL CHOLESTEROL MORE THAN STATINS
https://thehighwire.com/editorial/the-jig-is-up-toxic-oreos-lower-ldl-cholesterol-more-than-statins/
Excerpt:
Pfizer’s cholesterol-lowering statin drug Lipitor is one of the most profitable medications of all time. Globally, the lucrative statin market is projected to reach $32 billion by 2032. Yet, for years, there have been published studies reporting that statin drugs lead to profound memory loss and diabetes, and, overall, are entirely worthless. As such, the studies have supplied the basis for reevaluating the guidelines for prescribing statins and theories on cholesterol in general. After all, cholesterol is essential to the human body—if you had none, you would be dead. The studies have likewise questioned why more focus isn’t put on maintaining good heart health through beneficial lifestyle habits instead of harmful statin medications. However, given the massive profits enjoyed by Big Pharma and physicians alike, questions are quelled, and statin prescriptions continue to increase. But alas—firmly revealing the absurdity of the scheme to keep Americans unhealthy on statins—a recent study published on January 22, 2024, has demonstrated that Nabisco’s toxic Oreo Cookies are two times more effective at lowering LDL cholesterol (the one they say is “bad”) than high-intensity statin drugs. Holy smokes… what?!
The eye-opening study on one of the most prescribed drugs in history and one of the nation’s most addictive junk foods was conducted by Harvard Medical School scholar Nicholas G. Norwitz, Ph.D., who is ketogenic and has high LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol. For context, many argue that LDL cholesterol is merely a surrogate marker, and prominent cardiologists are increasingly questioning its causative role in the development of heart disease. With that in mind, to prove the ineffectiveness of statins and the over-hyped agenda-serving proclamation that LDL is bad, Norwitz and senior author and expert lipidologist William Cromwell, MD, conducted the dramatic demonstration, hoping it would spark scientific debate. After all, the conversation is critical since, like the gene-damaging COVID shots, the pharmaceutical industry-funded most of the studies supporting statins, and the raw data of the clinical trials has been kept secret, leading to speculation of doctored data.
So, what’s behind all the confusion on cholesterol? For starters, cholesterol is not the potent enemy of health and longevity it’s smeared to be. In fact, it is virtually impossible to explain how vital cholesterol is to the human body. In 2010, outlining the crucial role cholesterol plays in life, Dr. Zoë Harcombe, Ph.D., summarized its importance, explaining that every cell in the body is covered by a membrane (a protective barrier) consisting mainly of cholesterol, fat, and protein. Membranes are porous, not solid walls, letting nutrients and hormones in while keeping waste and toxins out. If cholesterol were removed from cell membranes, they would literally explode from their internal water pressure. Cholesterol is vital for hormone production, digestion, bones, and all the roles performed by vitamin D (together with sun exposure, cholesterol is required to produce vitamin D), the brain, the central nervous system, and memory functions.
Harcombe explained that one of the primary reasons humans spend nearly a third of their lives sleeping is to give the body time to produce cholesterol, repair cells, and perform other essential maintenance. But cholesterol’s significance to living goes even further. Most are familiar with the term “essential fatty acids” or “essential amino acids.” The term “essential” is used when speaking of nutrition in this way because it is essential to human health, yet the body cannot make it. Significantly, though, as pointed out by Harcombe, the body makes cholesterol......
Harcombe’s remarks make perfect sense. Nonetheless, despite knowing cholesterol’s vital role in being alive, the belief that LDL cholesterol causes atherosclerosis, followed by coronary heart disease (CHD), is a fundamental principle of modern medicine—solely based on biased studies. Indeed, for the last forty years, the mainstream medical establishment has asserted that elevated serum cholesterol levels are a direct instigator of CHD and that statins are essential to controlling cholesterol levels. They make this declaration as if there were no other choices or healthier alternatives. Indeed, by using extensive promotional campaigns producing billions in profits, the medical industrial complex has convinced millions worldwide that the key to avoiding heart disease is reducing cholesterol levels by using statin drugs and eating a diet low in saturated fat—essentially stoking fear and nudging its trusting minions to avoid eating fats and meat and instead eat chemical-laden ultra-processed carbs. Hmmm… Post-COVID, with eyes wide open, a sinister Big Pharma strategy is illuminated. Proving the scheme, a 2005 publication in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons titled “LDL Cholesterol: “Bad” Cholesterol, or Bad Science,” noted:
“While the war on cholesterol has proved to be extremely lucrative for the food and drug industries, it has delivered no benefit to public health. CHD is still the leading cause of death in Western countries. If cholesterol reduction were effective in preventing CHD, then it would surely lower both fatal and nonfatal CHD. This has not happened. Modern medicine has made significant advances in extending the lives of those who have already had heart attacks, but it has failed to help people avoid CHD in the first place.
In addition, the relentless drive to steer people to low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets has been accompanied by a marked increase in the prevalence of obesity and diabetes. This increase has been so large that some predict the steady rise in life expectancy enjoyed by Americans during the last century may soon come to an end.”
Incredibly—despite record use of statin drugs—nearly two decades after noting that CHD was the number one cause of death in 2005, the deep-state peddler, the unscrupulous World Health Organization (WHO), reported in December 2020 that heart disease has remained the leading cause of death at the global level for the last twenty years. But that’s not all. The WHO added that heart disease is killing more people than ever before, with the number of deaths from heart disease increasing from 2 million since 2000 to nearly 9 million in 2019, representing 16 percent of total deaths from all causes. And with the heart issues tied to the deadly mRNA COVID-19 jabs, those figures are sure to increase.
.....Harcombe agrees, wondering, “How on earth [have] we ever got away with telling people cholesterol causes heart disease?” She pointed out that reputable research reveals that high cholesterol is associated with lower heart disease and vice versa—for all the available data in the world! “High cholesterol is not even associated with high heart disease, let alone does not cause it,” she stated, adding, “Why are we lowering cholesterol when lower cholesterol is associated with more deaths from heart disease and all causes for men and women?” The magnitude of the disinformation around cholesterol and statins is mind-boggling. Was it intentional? Thanks to COVID, it is safe to assume the attack on cholesterol and subsequent remodeling of global dietary advice 40 years ago undoubtedly had a sinister “keep people sick” motive. Like a detective on the scent of a killer, Harcombe commented:
“Our global dietary advice was changed in 1977 in the US and 1983 in the UK as a result of a biased study of seven handpicked countries. Had the data been available for the 192 countries we can analyze now, or had Keys even considered all the data that was available to him at the time (for France, etc.), our conclusion may have been that we need to protect cholesterol levels in the body. We may have realized that the last thing we should be trying to do is lowering cholesterol–unless we’re trying to lower life expectancy for some reason.”
Intentionally lowering life expectancy, where have we heard that before? The notion of such a deliberate act against humanity reinforces the necessity of being in control of one’s health. Norwitz, the mastermind behind the brilliant Oreo vs. Statin study, conveyed that carbohydrate-restricted diets (CRD) hold promise for maintaining excellent health. Indeed, a CRD has been shown to be an effective treatment for weight loss, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic health conditions. You know, the diet and lifestyle-related diseases American taxpayers have spent billions (through the NIH and CDC) to cure, with no success. Go figure. However, one pending issue with the CRD approach is that this dietary strategy, according to Big Pharma and its cohorts, may also cause elevated LDL cholesterol. But wait, high LDL may not be a bad thing at all.
So where does all of this intriguing information leave Big Pharma’s statins and the profitable junk food industrial complex tasked with keeping us sick? Given that poisonous Oreo Cookies lower LDL more than Big Pharma’s windfall statin drugs, we hope that Norwitz’s study clarifies cholesterol’s vital role in the human body once and for all while further exposing the corruption behind Big Pharma and our healthcare system.
