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.

Never steal a hacker’s girlfriend’s phone: How an expert exposed a global network of thieves
Gangs that rob gadgets are looking for new ways to extract more value from them. An expert analyzed the work of one organization as it was dismantled by the police
https://english.elpais.com/technology/2025-09-13/never-steal-a-hackers-girlfriends-phone-how-an-expert-exposed-a-global-network-of-thieves.html?
**********************************************
Hacker Martín Vigo was with his partner at a concert in Barcelona when her cell phone disappeared. He immediately sent a text message with his number in case anyone had found it. But it had been stolen. Two days later, Vigo received a text message from “iCloud,” Apple’s cloud service: “Find my iPhone 13 mini. It has been connected to the internet and located today. Last location.” It included a link to a strange address: apple(.)device-maps.net. “The text message was awful: typos, a suspicious domain, and iCloud,” says Vigo.
But as a hacker, and with his partner without her cell phone, Vigo wasn’t going to let that message go unnoticed. His weeks-long investigation coincided with a massive two-year police operation between 2022 and 2024 in six countries where 17 people were arrested: Spain, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, and Peru. The magnitude of the operation clarifies why, despite improvements in security, cell phone theft remains profitable.
They had a system in place to steal cell phones, send them abroad, try to unlock them to steal as much money as possible, and if they couldn’t manage it, tweak them and resell them. They wanted to profit from everything,” explains Vigo, who has prepared a lengthy presentation of his case, which he shared at a couple of conferences before the summer.
......1. Theft
Vigo’s case is hardly unique. But his investigation sheds light on how criminals work. First, the theft. The ideal is to steal an unlocked phone. But it’s extremely difficult because it has to be stolen while the user is using it. Today’s cell phones provide access to credit cards, bank details, and tons of apps with our stored data.
In Vigo’s case, the phone was locked and the “Find my iPhone” feature was activated. Thanks to a system called Activation Lock, the thief needs the Apple username and password to access the phone. (Android has a similar feature called Factory Reset Protection.) “The ways of stealing have evolved,” says Vigo. “Now, with Activation Lock, you have to manage to unlock it.”
Here’s where the Vigo case takes a different turn. Once stolen, the phones are likely wrapped in aluminum foil to prevent the GPS from tracking their movements. “Then they go to a safe house where they are gathered together and shipped on pallets outside of Spain, to Morocco or China.”
This international step is vital to prevent the phone from being blocked if the thieves try to use it again. Carriers in several European countries share lists of the IMEIs (unique numbers for each device) of stolen devices so they can’t be used. But Morocco, for example, doesn’t share these lists. There, the phone can be reconnected.
2. Unlocking
The phone, in any case, is still locked. So how did the thieves intend to unlock a phone like the one belonging to Vigo’s partner? With hundreds or thousands of stored phones, another path begins: “They try to get the PIN,” says Vigo. Why the PIN? Because with the PIN, you can change the Apple password and access the device’s content.
The gang had created a system to send thousands of text messages like the one Vigo received. To know who to target with the bait message, the police say, “the organization performed social profiling of the victims, since, in many cases, in addition to the phone, they also had the victim’s personal belongings, such as their ID.” This is how they obtained the phone numbers to send the malicious SMS.
Each SMS contained a link with a unique identifier for each stolen phone. The day after the first message, Vigo received another: “Apple, we’ve detected problems locating your iPhone 13 mini. View current location without an internet connection.” Each victim received a unique link, and the server knew which victim clicked it. Upon clicking, the user would see a blank page, but the criminals would know who they were. With the first click, the attackers would redirect the user to a website they believed was credible, such as Apple’s real iCloud site.
“There you’ve already been trained to believe that if you receive a text message saying they’ve found your phone, everything is fine. But what you don’t know is that behind your back they’ve just set the perfect trap for you,” says Vigo. Why? Because the next day you receive another text message, and you click on it, more confidently. However, that link no longer redirects you to the real Apple website, but to a flawless copy created by the criminals: that’s where they ask for your PIN, and without thinking, full of hope, you enter it.
And the thieves, thanks to the identifier in the first link, already know who stole that phone and, therefore, which criminal they should have sent it to in order to access it. “The PIN is more powerful than your fingerprint or face. With it, you can delete the victim’s biometric information and add your own to access banking apps that are validated this way,” says Vigo. Apple Wallet asks you to re-authenticate, and then everything is accessible.
......In the press release on the case, the police explained that the gang allegedly used a total of 5,300 fake websites and illegally unlocked around 1.3 million high-end devices, about 30,000 of them in Spain.
3. The modifications
.....If they can’t unlock a device with the PIN, they send it to China to be “dismantled and then sent back to Europe for resale,” says Vigo. “The devices are increasingly valuable because they have more advanced chips, better cameras, and more expensive materials. But security measures are more robust. Before, if you stole a phone, you could factory reset it and have a new one. Now, with the activation lock and the original IMEI, in Europe it’s just a brick, only good for parts.”
But there are cities in China where that IMEI can be changed, says Vigo. “It’s the hardest part, when it arrives in China and they change certain components and the IMEI. It requires a certain level of sophistication: opening the phone, changing the chip... you have to know what you’re doing because Apple detects if there are non-original components.” The goal is to be able to resell the stolen phone with a different IMEI so that it can’t be traced.
Of this entire process, if it weren’t for one crucial detail, the victims would only suffer the theft of a cell phone. “The PIN is the most powerful thing, which is why it’s extremely important to safeguard it and never give it to anyone,” says Vigo. “Never, to anyone. Apple will never ask for it. What they’re asking for are your iCloud credentials.”

🔥BREAKING: The allegations are staggering…Federal investigators are uncovering shocking details in the Charlie Kirk assassination case.
According to reports:
$50,000 in wire transfers flowed through DSA-linked accounts in the months leading to the killing.
Funds allegedly covered Tyler Robinson’s logistics, travel, and even weapon acquisition.
Internal FBI documents reportedly name Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and NY Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani as figures tied to the DSA’s leadership during this period.
Additional $20,000 deposits were uncovered, linked to Robinson’s live-in partner, with investigators pointing to ideological motives rooted in hatred of conservatives and Christians.
Bullets recovered at the scene reportedly carried carvings of Antifa and LGBTQ slogans.
If true, this isn’t random violence..
it’s organized, funded, and politically motivated.The question is no longer who pulled the trigger… but who paid for it.

It would ordinarily be too much of a stretch for me to consider, but then I came across this thread prior to reading Cleebie's post:
I am excerpting part of post 9 by FReeper Sequoyah101 from that thread:
I wonder how many socialist, anarchist, seditious, treasonous, radical left wing outfits are hiding in plain sight enjoying our Constitutional Freedoms to overthrow us. First Amendment and all that. ~Sequoyah101
I now see the DEI and trans push by the leftists, and their desire to build 'sanctuary cities,' as a money laundering hide-in-plain-sight army of sorts. Not all trans would participate, but some groups otherwise orphaned are picked up and showered with support and importance by people like AOC, as they shake their fist at 'the man' and declare that they will fight on behalf of these abused groups.
Previously, progressives pushing trans never made sense to me because trans is such a small and unstable (e.g., trans regret) percentage (normally).
The 'social outcast' credentials of those trans groups may serve as cover for our enemies to flood them with money and training (weaponizing for revolution) while pretending to do so altruistically.
De-Trans activists expressing regret for having ever tried transitioning often tell heart breaking stories of being preyed upon by pro-Trans groups, and convinced that all their mental and emotional problems would go away if they transitioned.
I now think they are being exploited as expendable resources and likely subject to the full psyop capacity of the CIA to 'turn' people.
All the virtue signaling and 'fighting for trans or DEI rights' looks good' to communists and other progressives, but what if they are largely just front operations for 'revolutionary groups' hiding in plain site. Leftists can't openly fund groups named 'Overthrow America', but can fund those who are groomed and actually want to overthrow America if you say you are simply supporting orphaned trans community members.
I searched AI and the source it used was DSA literature. I won't put the whole post here as it is overkill; I put it in Festival. Here's an excerpt re DSA's support for trans:
Political Advocacy
DSA members have collaborated with political candidates, such as Zohran Mamdani, to develop platforms that include comprehensive trans rights policies. Mamdani's campaign promises to declare New York City an "LGBTQIA+ Sanctuary City" and allocate significant taxpayer funds for gender-affirming surgeries.
I skimmed through the whole AI response and saw opportunties for DSA to funnel money or helps raise funds for trans groups. It pads Dem numbers and gives them cover as they build their revolutionaries, some of whom are willing to do crazy things in response to psyops telling them people hate them and want them dead when Trump cuts trans gender surgery or Kirk said something they don't like.
I think they likely received USAID as an underprivileged, discriminated against group etc. Hiding in plain site - and what might those orphaned trans groups do for their so-called 'protectors'? I've thought the CIA was exploiting trans and pushing the ideology HARD in social media and wasn't getting the 'why' of it, until these last few posts where I now consider it a version of division, cultivating subversive forces and 'lone wolf' shooters, social victim recruitment, pay to play (recruitment in exchange for social status and funding).

“In fact it has been so swept under the rug, it may tie right in to the murder of Charlie.”
There was a thread yesterday about a secret FBI operation — something like Arctic Frost — that existed solely to take out people like Charlie. So the Butler incident, and this Charlie murder might be compliments of the FBI itself.
Very convenient when the perp is responsible for investigating itself. Just sayin’...
I am guessing Pencil Neck’s cartel bosses told him to get on this issue.
