The left’s fear of Q increases daily. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

I live in AZ, and it’s hard to get hydroxyC here unless you test positive, so I take quercetin. It’s a supplement that work in a similar manner. Has a lot of fans.

Just another element in the America/American-hating Democrat/Left Party being rolled out prior to the first Tuesday in November ... there is much, much more to come and the roll-out will accelerate as the election nears.

This is completely understandable and makes complete sense once you accept that the America/American-hating Democrat/Left Party simply cannot accept and will do everything they can -- and I do mean "everything" -- to stop Trump from being re-elected lest they lose power in all three branches of the federal governmnent over the next four years.

Beware ... the America/American-hating Democrat/Left Party is desperate and they're dangerous!

I don’t play them either. I understand it refers to people assuming roles in online games such as Dungeons and Dragons (only more up to date). Basically, it’s some pimply kid sitting in mom’s basement playing games.

They have actually increased Q’s credibility. 1) It’s clear that Q and Qanon followers were not the only or main source of anti-mask-control. This discredits their headline. 2) If this is the best they have, then everything else Q must be OK.

The purpose of this lying manipulation is to keep those they control from Q posts such as “The war is real. The news is fake.”

Why not just stop wearing masks?
Everyone, everywhere.
Just stop.
#MakeDemocracyGreatAgain
___________________________________

With you and I have.

Why don’t enough others? Beats me. I can make some guesses:

They can still hide behind being compassionate, scientifically literate and calm, as opposed to irate.

They think if they wear the mask, they will never be in the crosshairs of the progs.

They have no savings. They have a mortgage. They have terrified parents and spouse and inculcated children who cannot go to school, where they must parrot the government line or be disciplined, unless they pay extra, one way or another, on top of property taxes. They are, therefore, enslaved to their job, salary and pension. Those they love are hostage to the tyranny. They are in a real bind and will so be until that job disappears due to increasing tyranny. Then, the bind will become a nightmare. This is all by design, of course.

It is going to take mass civil disobedience to overwhelm the system. People will not believe there is a New Order until they find themselves isolated via Social Credit System protocols and then forced to obey in order to eat, get medical attention, travel or even stay in their homes.

Some think this above outcome is hyperbole and cannot happen here.

Others are waiting for the Rapture.

A consumer strike is necessary, besides the civil disobedience.

It will not happen. Too few people will stand up and the majority will quail while the dissidents are killed. Just like Hong Kong.

Cloward-Piven the mask mandate.

Cloward-Piven the mask mandate.
___________________________

The equivalent of lunch counter sit ins. People would heckle and punch the people sitting, pour noxious items on them and eventually the police would arrest them, complete with beat-downs.

But America had a conscience then and the political winds were with conventional morality.

Not so today. Unless done in overwhelming numbers each time, there are places with people who will murder over this dissent.

Pick days, hours, venues and no one wears a mask at those times in those places. Be as militant in dissent as the progs are in violence. Be prepared to press charges, go to the alternative press, have video recorders and have lawyers willing to sue for denial of freedom.

The stage is being set for this by the numbers of clinicians and scientists coming forward with the truth about masks, HCQ, lock downs.

Notice Ghandi has been declared a racist. But Ghandi was effective.

No mask. Sit down. Don’t move. Make them drag everyone (thousands at once) off to prison. Have bail payment pre-arranged. Have lawyers pre-arranged.

Effective tactic of the anti-war left in the 60s-79s: set up legal escrow accounts for property taxes. Calculate how much pays for police protection or schools or whatever you disagree with and are denied a hearing on. Deposit the correct amount every quarter. Send copies to the authorities. Be prepared to go to court with documents and representation. Wealthy conservatives can stand up and fund these actions.

It worked for the progs with income taxes. They deducted the % going to the military. I know people who did this successfully for decades.

But conservatives quail.

Qanon is NOT responsible for nationwide opposition to the STUPID mask mandates. I can think for myself.

It’s difficult to use that tactic against them, because they actually WANT to destroy civilization, but we don’t.

If only they knew he wrote things like “Trust Sessions” and “Trust Wray” then nobody would take it seriously.
The backlash against something so small and unknown is very interesting and a little perplexing, I must say.
