Many come here to read dispatches from the War between Good and Evil, to red-pill and encourage.....and to pray and give thanks to the God who fights for us.
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.

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
As of May 2025, the U.S. federal budget deficit for fiscal year (FY) 2025 is projected to be approximately $1.9 trillion***
Here is the deceptive tragedy of 'continuing resolutions'! They not only continue deficit spending, they continue to grow the national debt.
Folks on this thread may remember me pointing out late last year that the Bitem Administration was spending a $trillion ever 100 days. Not only was there no accounting for the source of this money, no one was hollering 'Fire in the theater' ! at that time. It is not clear whether this spending appeared in the ledger for budget spending or was off budget. IT WAS CERTAINLY A PRIMARY CAUSE OF INCREASING INFLATION!
A continuing resolution is likely to preserve this piggish abuse. It will also contribute to inflation. Also, a continuing resolution is likely to continue the fraud and waste found in DOGE - unless concerned folks in Congress can specifically weed it out.
We can see the vast conflicts DOGE is giving rise to. We all know in general where most of that 'fraud and waste' is going. Now that the public is being made aware, perhaps a reform movement will arise. Certainly much of that money must be cut or else redirected to more positive uses.
Congress must step up and restore public integrity!
Likely still an issue and not just with governors. On top of deals, I bet some are also blackmailed.
My husband saw Banff as a child. He said it is the most beautiful place he’s ever seen.

The only thing it’s missing for taking your breath away, in my personal opinion, which doesn’t really count for much, is water/ocean. That’s my own “take your breath away” vista, and I’m aware that others feel the same about mountains and are kind of ‘meh’ about moving water. Those people would find Banff to be exceedingly beautiful.
Too cool, thanks foldy.

I keep waiting for the information/intel that Dong Jingwei provided to make its way into the public sphere but it’s been slow in coming. I can only imagine that it was so explosive that it’s been kept under wraps and will be revealed over time. It’s also possible that it may not ever be connectible to him for his own safety and is being used to leverage black hats. One thing I do know is that he’s been an invaluable source of intel. He was second in command I believe in counter-intelligence in China.

Thank you for the details, you have a great memory. I assume his info will be used in the trials, once the Q plan gets very active.
Crude oil markets took a fresh hit this weekend after OPEC+ stunned traders by announcing a larger-than-expected output increase for June. In a virtual meeting on Saturday, key producers led by Saudi Arabia and Russia agreed to raise collective output by 411,000 barrels per day (bpd), nearly triple the volume originally scheduled.
The move follows a similar surge announced for May and signals a sharp reversal from OPEC+ efforts to defend oil prices. Instead, Riyadh appears to be embracing a low-price strategy, aiming to discipline overproducing members like Kazakhstan and Iraq. Both nations have repeatedly exceeded their quotas, with Kazakhstan surpassing its March target by 422,000 bpd.
“OPEC+ has just thrown a bombshell to the oil market,” Jorge Leon of Rystad Energy told Bloomberg. “With this move, Saudi Arabia is seeking to punish lack of compliance and also ingratiate itself with President Trump.”
President Donald Trump has loudly demanded lower oil prices, and with fresh tariffs rattling global markets, OPEC+ appears to be aligning with Washington’s inflation-fighting agenda. Trump is set to visit the Middle East this month, and closer energy cooperation may be on the table.

Utah Family Charged for $300 Million Stolen Pemex Crude Oil Smuggling Scheme with CJNG Cartel
https://www.valleycentral.com/news/local-news/brothers-plead-not-guilty-in-arroyo-terminals-case/
https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/south-texas/article/jensen-family-crude-oil-smugglers-20298238.php
Excerpt:
A Utah family who owns a large oil importation company in Texas is making headlines after being arrested and indicted on federal charges in connection with a scheme to smuggle crude oil from Mexico into the United States.
James Lael Jensen and his wife Kelly were booked into the Salt Lake County Jail after authorities executed an arrest warrant at their $9.1 million mansion. The couple is accused of conspiring to smuggle 2,881 different shipments of crude oil from Mexico. Two of their sons were arrested as well.
According to the indictment, the Jensen family began laundering money and illegally importing crude oil in May 2022. But accusations made by PEMEX in a 2011 lawsuit show James Jensen had been involved in the illegal oil smuggling from Mexican cartels for well over a decade.
Authorities allege that more than $47 million was transferred from businesses operated by James and Kelly Jensen to “Mexican businesses” from 2022 until 2025.
.....Court documents filed in U.S. District Court in Utah claim that James and Kelly Jensen, along with their two sons, Max and Zachary, conspired to “launder proceeds from the sale of illegally imported crude oil” on behalf of Mexican criminal organizations.
Records indicate that payments for the oil were funneled to businesses in Mexico believed to be controlled by drug cartels, and that James Jensen was aware of these connections.
The Jensen family owns and operates Arroyo Terminals, a crude oil trading company in Rio Hondo, Texas, a small community about 30 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border. Federal agents raided their business, Arroyo Terminals, last week, and two days later the company’s website was taken offline and placed under government control.
“The company specializes in domestic and cross-border acquisitions of various blends of crude oil,” according to the Arroyo Terminals website. Arroyo Terminals stored the crude oil in large tanks near the Arroyo Colorado. Every few weeks, barges would transport the crude oil to buyers.
From about May 2022 to 2025, James L. Jensen purchased nearly 2,900 shipments of crude oil that had fraudulent customs paperwork, according to the indictment.
.....The fraudulent paperwork claimed the crude oil was actually “waste of lube oils” and “petroleum distillates,” according to the indictment. The indictment remained sealed until April 23, when the government raided Arroyo Terminals in Rio Hondo, Texas.
.....One employee said the FBI asked whether the crude oil was stolen.
“We don’t know about that,” the employee said. “We’re just in charge of unloading the trucks and loading the barges.” Another employee agreed.
“When it comes to the aspect of knowing where this oil’s coming from or what company or what part of Mexico or anything like that, we were always out of the loop,” the employee said.
In a 2011 lawsuit, PEMEX claimed Jensen and two corporations he controlled, Big Star Gathering and St. James Oil, had purchased stolen natural gas condensate. Also included in the lawsuits were oil companies such as ConocoPhillips and Shell.
.....After two years of litigation, PEMEX dropped the case against Jensen in 2013.
Maxwell Sterling Jensen, who co-owns Arroyo Terminals with his father since May 2020, and Zachary Golden Jensen, who handled marketing and business development for the company, pleaded not guilty Tuesday afternoon.
They’re accused of participating in a conspiracy to buy stolen crude oil from businesses affiliated with Mexican drug cartels and launder millions in dirty money.
Federal prosecutors allege the family violated the U.S. Tariff Act, allowing the Jensen family to reap huge profits off of a normally highly regulated and highly limited import industry via loads of crude oil stolen from Pemex, the nationalized oil company owned by the Mexican federal government.
“The crude oil that was making its way into the United States was, by necessity, having to be stolen from Pemex, mislabeled, and then delivered into the United States labeled as waste oil,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Eugene Hess explained during a detention hearing. Hess further alleged that the family worked with Mexican organized crime to carry out the scheme.
According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Laura Garcia, Maxwell worked closely with “cartel-affiliated” businesses, Garcia said, and developed connections in Mexico.
.....Assets That Could Be Forfeited
Among the assets subject to seizure are money deposited in accounts at Wells Fargo and Bank of America, as well as several boats.
Additionally, the properties listed include a 2023 Corvette Stingray, a 2023 Mercedes-Benz, a GMC pickup truck, and two semi-trucks. Also mentioned is a property at 21076 North Reynolds Highway, where Arroyo Terminal is located. Also listed is their multi-million dollar mansion in Sandy, Utah.
f convicted, the family would be required to forfeit approximately $300 million in assets, including bank accounts and their Texas-based company and all face up to 20 years in prison.
“The company owns and operates its own fleet of 30,000 barrel barges, which gives us unique capabilities to transport and market our crude oil product,” according to the Arroyo Terminals website.
.....Along with Jensen, the grand jury indicted his wife and two of his sons, Maxwell and Zachary.
“They are looking forward to receiving the discovery and asserting their innocence in court,” said attorney Robert Louis Guerra of Brownsville, who represents Maxwell.
Huber asked the judge to release James while he awaits trial.
“They’re active in their church. They’re active in their community. They come from a stalwart Utah family,” Huber said. “His in-laws have served in public service for decades and they don’t want to throw that all out of the window.”
Kelly Jensen’s father, Gordon Walker, served in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development during President Ronald Reagan’s administration. Her mother, Carlene Walker, served in the Utah State Senate. James Jensen graduated from BYU, Brigham Young University.
Although prosecutors requested that James Jensen be held without bail due to flight risk, he was released from jail on April 25 under GPS monitoring. Similarly, Kelly Jensen was also released from federal custody under conditions that included surrendering her passport.
Torteya set bond for Zachary at $100,000 and ordered him to remain at home in Utah and submit to GPS monitoring. Torteya, ordered Maxwell held without bond.
