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.

Mental Enslavement.
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 primary NOTAM system is experiencing a temporary outage, but there is currently no impact to the National Airspace System because a backup system is in place.
NOTAMs provide updates about anything that may effect the safety of a flight.
All active NOTAMs were available until the time of the outage. The agency activated its contingency system to supplement and support preflight briefings and continue flight operations.
The @FAANews is working to fully restore the system, and there may be some residual delays tomorrow morning. Please check with your airline for updates.
We are investigating the root cause and we will provide updates.
FAA has set up a hotline to communicate with aviation stakeholders and will send notices every 30 minutes with updates on the system's status
The Rosenau Experiment 1918-1919
Summary of the Experiment in Public Health Report
"Perhaps the most interesting epidemiological studies conducted during the 1918-1919 pandemic were the human experiments conducted by the Public Health Service and the U.S. Navy under the supervision of Milton Rosenau on Gallops Island, the quarantine station in Boston Harbor, and on Angel Island, its counterpart in San Francisco."
"The experiment began with 100 volunteers from the Navy who had no history of influenza. Rosenau was the first to report on the experiments conducted at Gallops Island in November and December 1918."
"His first volunteers received first one strain and then several strains of Pfeiffer bacillus by spray and swab into their noses and throats and then into their eyes."
"When that procedure failed to produce disease, others were inoculated with mixtures of other organisms isolated from the throats and noses of influenza patients. Next, some volunteers received injections of blood from influenza patients."
"Finally, 13 of the volunteers were taken into an influenza ward and exposed to 10 influenza patients each. Each volunteer was to shake hands with each patient, to talk with him at close range, and to permit him to cough directly into his face."
"None of the volunteers in these experiments developed influenza. Rosenau was clearly puzzled, and he cautioned against drawing conclusions from negative results."
"He ended his article in JAMA with a telling acknowledgement: “We entered the outbreak with a notion that we knew the cause of the disease, and were quite sure we knew how it was transmitted from person to person. Perhaps, if we have learned anything, it is that we are not quite sure what we know about the disease."
"The research conducted at Angel Island and that continued in early 1919 in Boston broadened this research by inoculating with the Mathers streptococcus and by including a search for filter-passing agents, but it produced similar negative results. It seemed that what was acknowledged to be one of the most contagious of communicable diseases could not be transferred under experimental conditions."
powerful...thanx for that .

Good dig!
I wonder if most of the weaponization of biological agents in the past 40 or 50 years (Fauci's tenure) was designed to make these illnesses more communicable. They seemed disappointed that they were not when tested.
One of the early doctors re 'Covid vaccines' noted that the 'vector' Covid 'vaccine' (was it Astra Zeneca?) was designed in a way that would make the vaccine itself likely to become communicable. I think that was the Deep State goal - if we can't make people take it, maybe we can make it communicable. Which to me means the've done that before - made things more communicable.
I was just wondering these last few days what happened to the repeated bouts of 'stomach bug' illnesses we used to get. We'd hear 'swine flu from China' and then families (in my youth) would brace for inevitable illnesses which included vomiting. I really don't hear about that knd of wave after wave like we used to have (1980's?). Wut happened?
https://www.theepochtimes.com/health/preventable-deaths-and-d3-4452610
Below from your link,great stuff!!:
This DoD research scientist and his team had conducted a retrospective study which tied higher baseline vitamin D levels to lowered respiratory virus infection and disease (influenza), using a military database to correlate vitamin D levels to flu levels and death. ,P> The DoD believed that if he presented his research to Dr. Fauci, then Director of NIAID (National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases), that the US government might change direction by investing in this line of research and developing corresponding treatment guidelines. The DoD saw the potential of reducing influenza disease and death with this safe prophylactic, and directed him to contact Dr. Fauci to discuss this finding. This scientist told me that he scheduled the meeting as assigned, and presented his rock-solid data to Dr. Fauci. He was then informed by Dr. Fauci that US policy is to control influenza in the USA with vaccines, not therapeutics. End of story.
No funding or support available for future work. Therefore, NIAID had no interest in pursuing Vitamin D3 as a prophylactic for respiratory diseases, such as influenza, and the DoD dropped the follow up.
That means that over fifteen years ago, Dr. Fauci had already set the policies which informed the US government’s present response to COVID. Because that policy extends well beyond flu, it is the response that the US Government falls back on for all infectious disease outbreaks, including those that emerge due to a pandemic or viral bio-threat. The official policy, set by Dr. Fauci, is that the US government wants vaccines for respiratory viruses above all else, and no other prophylactic solutions are to be promoted. So, with that background, why would anyone expect anything else other than an exclusive USG obsession with a vaccine solution for an infectious respiratory disease such as COVID-19, even if there are excellent, cheap alternatives already available?
The data for the use of Vitamin D3 is extremely strong; there are now even randomized clinical trials supporting its use for the treatment of COVID (6), as well as many retrospective clinical trials showing its efficacy.
The title of a major meta-analysis study published in October, 2021 is “COVID-19 Mortality Risk Correlates Inversely with Vitamin D3 Status, and a Mortality Rate Close to Zero Could Theoretically Be Achieved at 50 ng/mL 25(OH)D3: Results of a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis,” and that title pretty much says it all (7).
Yet the NIH treatment guidelines found on their website in May 2022, state that:
“Recommendation: There is insufficient evidence to recommend either for or against the use of Vitamin D for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19.” (the fix has been in for years due to Fauci)
The CDC’s website says nothing about the link between Vitamin D3 levels and decreased severe disease and death in respiratory virus diseases, including COVID. The NIH guidelines cite a single study in which Vitamin D was given to COVID patients in the intensive care unit (late stage COVID) in Brazil as the sole criteria for their evaluation of Vitamin D. They even mention that this paper is flawed, writing that: “It should be noted that this study had a small sample size and enrolled participants with a variety of comorbidities and concomitant medications. The time between symptom onset and randomization was relatively long. “ Yet this admittedly flawed work is the cited study from which the NIH determined that there is no link between Vitamin D levels and reduced incidence and disease due to SARS-CoV-2, while ignoring all other data including superior studies. Clear documentation of the scientific bias which has resulted in so many poor public health management decisions throughout the current outbreak.
There is nothing in the CDC guidelines about the meta-analysis studies, retrospective studies and even randomized clinical trials concerning preventative use of Vitamin D3–just an oblique reference to clinicaltrials.gov if one wanted more information.
This is shocking.
Can this be explained by anything other than regulatory capture by the US government institutes within the department of Health and Human Services, including CDC, NIH, and FDA? Fauci at it again,destroying lives hiding his many patents and who knows how invested big pharma is in this evil demon.
..................................
So bottom line 15 years ago the US govt. based its take on using bio weapon shots instead of D3 due to anthony fauci and one flawed study. How can something like this be hidden by the msm at every level? Gotta wonder.!!
Agreed, Trump needs to just get us out of LGBNATO+P and watch it collapse.

8 Bombshell Findings In Florida's Grand Jury Report On Big Pharma’s Covid Shots
By: Shawn Fleetwood
January 09, 2025
‘Hiding the details, methodology and results of scores of safety investigations from public view does not build public confidence; it undermines it.’
by Shawn Fleetwood
from the link: on Tuesday, a Florida grand jury released its final report on potential “criminal or wrongful activity” regarding the creation and promotion of the Covid jabs.
Here's a summary of the work done by the grand jury on covid and other issues:
DATA RELEASE
Due to the criminal subpoena process, this Grand Jury has been afforded an extraordinary degree of transparency into the clinical trials and pharmacovigilance for MRNA-1273 and BNTI 62b2. We have managed to collect more information regarding the approval and safety monitoring of these vaccines than is currently available from perhaps any other legal mechanism in the federal or state systems, bar the FDA.
Bound as we are by our period of empanelment, this Grand Jury has only been able to scratch the surface of this vast sea of data. Given our limitations, we traded breadth for depth, reviewing largely that information we could corroborate with publicly available data.
This necessarily means that there is a lot that we have not seen. There may be evidence of criminal activity, and there are certainly revelations beyond those we have described in this Final Report.
Much of this evidence is likely of enormous potential scientific value. Based on our review, there appears to be enough data-including individual patient information-to gain invaluable insight into the science reported by the companies, perhaps even recreating the statistical analyses conducted in the flagship trials or confirming the immunogenicity and safety analyses of the surrogate trials.
MRNA-1273 and BNT162b2 are two of the most controversial, consequential and profitable pharmaceutical products of the past 50 years. From everything we have learned, they represent mankind's first foray into the use of mRNA-based lipid nanoparticle delivery systems in-128- human beings, but they will not be the last.
We owe it to future generations to make sure these data are adequately deciphered, parsed and analyzed. In addition, this evidence is of immense historic value. It describes the responses of our public health apparatus and the pharmaceutical industry to a once-in-a-hundred-year phenomenon that killed millions of people worldwide and drew a historic set of responses from those entities.
As we said at the beginning of this Final Report, we believe that our collective response to SARSCoV-2 represents the best humanity has to offer-innovation, cooperation and bravery-and the worst-greed, misfeasance and propaganda. The data we have collected allowed this Grand Jury to step inside the walls of these companies, where the public was previously only allowed to peer through the narrow windows provided by the journal system and federal reporting requirements.
There is more to see within those walls than ten grand juries could absorb, and all this corporate activity was financed in no small part by public funds--our money.
The public deserves to know what they did with it. All the data we have described above resides on a series of hard drives, where they will theoretically remain indefinitely, locked behind the confidentiality of Chapter 905, Florida Statutes (2024).
Given the scientific and historic importance of these data, we believe it would be of enormous public benefit to revisit this law to the specific extent necessary to facilitate the availability of this particular evidence.
There are issues, however, that must be resolved. First of all, these hard drives contain safety and efficacy data for roughly 100,000 clinical trial participants and potentially millions of reported safety events involving the COVID-19 vaccines. All of this is private health information, protected under federal law by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and under state law by Florida Information Protection Act of2014 (FIPA). Second, these drives also contain any number of "trade secrets" involving the design and manufacture of these therapeutics, the disclosure of which is also prohibited under federal law by the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) and under state law by Florida Uniform Trade Secrets Act (FUTSA).
We see two potential ways forward: One approach would be to simply redact every stitch of potentially volatile data from the documents before making them publicly available. There are drawbacks to this approach: It would require a massive amount of time and money; we also do not have a perfect picture of what exactly Pfizer, Moderna or the federal courts would consider to be a trade secret; and redacting these data might ultimately limit their scientific and informational value.
The second approach would be to remand these data to the custody of some qualified -129-research institution-perhaps some purpose-built entity within the state university system-with a mandate that allowed qualified researchers to view the data but prevented them from publicly disclosing information in their results that violated these state and federal statutes.
We do wish, however, to emphasize that the legal framework must contain a clear set of guidelines that allow researchers-regardless of bias-access to this evidence. It is our intent to facilitate transparency, not just replace a system with a pro-pharma bias for one with an antipharma bias. Ultimately, we believe that conflicts between the results of different researchers using the same data will reveal the whole story involving the COVID-19 vaccines.
CONCLUSION
This Final Report marks the conclusion of the Twenty-Second Statewide Grand Jury.
Though it was not always easy or comfortable, we have endeavored to execute the task assigned to us by the Florida Supreme Court carefully, thoughtfully and, above all, honestly. We are all aware that this Final Report has highlighted some painful truths about the COVID-19 pandemic, the pharmaceutical industry and our system of vaccine approval and licensing. We are hopeful, however, that our work will not be received as another entry in an ideological war, but a real call for systemic change and rebalancing.
As we said in our First Interim Report, this Statewide Grand Jury can only recommend these changes, we cannot enact them.
It will be up to lawmakers and regulators to address the problems we have found with new laws and new rules, and it will be up to the media and the public to hold those regulators accountable. Our work is done.
Back to the original link:
Requested by Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., and authorized by the Florida Supreme Court in December 2022, the grand jury was tasked with looking into whether individuals and entities, “including, but not limited to, pharmaceutical manufacturers (and their executive officers) and other medical associations or organizations” possibly violated state law related to the development, clinical testing, and marketing of the mRNA shots. The jury previously released interim reports in February and May 2024, respectively, which undercut much of the pseudo-science pushed by government “experts” on subjects such as masking, lockdowns, and natural immunity.
Following its investigation, the grand jury ultimately declined to charge any individual or entity in the case after the jurors “did not find any statute that [they] believed would be an appropriate vehicle for a criminal indictment based on the facts” in its final report. The grand jury did, however, note that such a conclusion does not absolve entities of engaging in unethical behavior.
“We want to be abundantly clear that this does not mean we believe the actions of these sponsors were always appropriate, or that the statements they made turned out to be factually correct,” the report reads. “It just means that those actions and statements are not sufficient bases to support criminal prosecutions.”
Despite the lack of criminal charges, the jury did unearth numerous major findings in its report that shine a light on deceptive behavior and actions surrounding the development and promotion of the Covid shots. Here are some of the biggest takeaways from the analysis.
Here's the 8 issues they found:
1. Premature Emergency Approval
2. Disservice to Pregnant Women
3. Failure to Complete Safety Studies
4. Lack of Info on Safety Signals
5. Myocarditis Cover-Up
While maintaining that Vaccine-Related Myocarditis and Pericarditis (VRMP) events are “very rare,” the grand jury disclosed significant findings about such incidents, including the apparent withholding of such information from the American public.
While reports of a potential myocarditis signal associated with the Covid shots first began to emerge in Israel in February 2021, the jurors found that “a less-publicized safety signal for myocarditis” regarding the Pfizer and Moderna jabs “appeared after the United States military began vaccinating its servicemembers.” According to the jury, this information “was not made public until after the VRMP safety signal was confirmed on June 23, 2021” — despite “representatives from Pfizer and Moderna [confirming to the] Grand Jury that several government agencies, including the DOD, were investigating it well before then.”
6. Government Censorship
7. Deceptive Advertising
8. Risks vs. Benefits
Grand Jury Recommendations Despite declining to file indictments against any individual or entity, the grand jury did offer several recommendations for state and federal officials to take to ensure greater accountability in the vaccine-approval process.
Among those at the federal level include suggestions that the FDA “reinstate its pre-1997 ban on the direct-to-consumer advertising of therapeutics,” the federal government to institute policies “impeding the ‘revolving door’ of private-sector employees and lobbyists in and out” of health agencies, and the implementation of rules requiring Big Pharma companies to “publish the anonymized individual patient data — with all their attendant safety, efficacy and immunogenicity information — shortly after [the] granting of any FDA license.”
At the state level, the jury recommended Florida lawmakers make it a crime for failure to comply with a statewide grand jury subpoena, allow statewide grand juries to indict and the Office of Statewide Prosecution to prosecute individuals who commit perjury while testifying before the jury, and provide for a “pre-swearing discovery period” for any statewide grand jury.

Dr. Sebastian Gorka, a Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council in the White House, told Breitbart News exclusively that the White House intends to release the video of the successful operation conducted on Saturday morning to eliminate a top Islamic State terrorist in northern Somalia.
“We are working right now on converting the footage of the operation, of the neutralization, into a format that allows us to share it with America and the world,” Gorka said. “I will leave that to DOD and the White House Situation Room and the whole team responsible for that. We want the 77 million Americans [who voted for Trump] and everyone else who cares about defeating global jihadism to see what is possible in less than two weeks of a new Trump administration.”
But perhaps more importantly than that, Gorka said, the White House hopes releasing the footage will act as a deterrence to potential future terrorists and discourage possible recruits from joining ISIS down the road.
“You can think you’re safe and you can try and build a safe haven in an ungoverned part of the world like northern Somalia, but our capabilities—it’s like the president said,” Gorka said. “You can run but you’ll only die tired. We will find you, but unlike the Biden administration, we’re not going to watch you around the clock for four years. We are going to kill you if you threaten American lives and that is what the president just proved this morning at 9:50 with his incredible leadership.”
Early Saturday afternoon, the president announced on social media that he had ordered a successful strike on the “Senior ISIS Attack Planner and other terrorists he recruited and led in Somalia.”
Here are the President and Sebastian Gorka:

Letters of Marque would allow private organizations to operate in the “dead space” in between government bureaucracies where the Mexican drug cartels operate, Erik Prince, an American veteran and the founder of Unplugged Technologies explained during an interview with Breitbart News Saturday. Photos above shows a recent drug capture from a mexicon cartel.
Evidently the cartels know just how to navigate between US govt. agencies.By gettig their raw materials from China and then producing the fentanal and other drugs in Mexico they skirt the multiple agencies who don't know which one is in charge.
"Letters of Marque" allow private individuals,groups, to go after the cartels and sometimes get rewarded.
Not a bad idea at all.
.
“Letters of Marque” Can be problematic. Ask a few pirates how they worked for them.
I will say this concerning home insurance - the cost of replacing a house is almost double what it was maybe 15-20 years ago. The days of under $100 per square foot are long gone.
Mine’s gone up astronomically over the last few years. Car insurance too.

Iran Unveils Underground City with Cruise Missiles for Naval Warfare
A photo released by Mehr of a new underground base housing cruise missiles. Tehran: Asharq Al Awsat below from the link:
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) unveiled a new underground missile city equipped with electronic warfare facilities on the south coast, several Iranian news agencies said on Saturday.
In recent weeks, Iran has stepped up its frequent announcement of “underground missile cities,” in tandem with a flurry of diplomatic activity aimed at reviving negotiations with the United States over its nuclear program.
On Saturday, state media said the naval arm of IRGC showcased a new underground base housing cruise missiles on Iran's southern coast and equipped with electronic warfare facilities.
The Mehr news agency reported that Iran’s IRGC Navy has unveiled a new underground base housing cruise missiles designed to target destroyers in strategic southern waters.
IRGC Chief Commander Major General Hossein Salami visited the “missile city” on Saturday, it added.
He inspected the combat readiness of the navy’s missile units at the new facility, it said, adding that the upgraded missiles stationed in the subterranean base are also equipped to counter electronic warfare and can be operational in the shortest time possible.
On January 18, the naval arm of IRGC unveiled an underground base in the country’s southern waters, according to footage aired by state television.
The broadcaster showed that the base houses dozens of assault boats equipped with missile launchers.
Iranian state television says Iran only disclosed a small part of its underground and field missile cities.
Meanwhile, Admiral Habibollah Sayyari, Chief of Staff and Deputy Coordinator of the Iranian Army said his country “is fully prepared to confront any threats, no matter where they originate.”
“Iran, as a regional power, plays a key and influential role, and therefore, can affect all regional developments,” he asserted during an interview on Friday with an Iranian news agency.
Iran fears US President Donald Trump will reimpose his “maximum pressure policy” through more sanctions on its oil, particularly after Tehran significantly expanded its production of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels.
