ransomnote: I put a small sample of Trump's uplifting video below. The full 1 minute video with audio is available at the link.
The Best is Yet to Come.
https://rumble.com/vn6bt9-the-best-is-yet-to-come
Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation.
Q describes this awakening as follows:
"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.
WWG1WGA!!!" ~ Q (#3038)
The video, Qanon is 100% coming from the Trump Administration, is just one of many excellent responses to the all-important question, "Whom does Q serve?"
Q Boot Camp is a quick, condensed way to learn the background and basics about the Q movement.
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.
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.

ThankQ.
We shall see.
There are two theories.
One says that an NBC must be born on American soil to two citizen parents, the other says that an NBC must be born on American soil to one citizen parent. (perhaps it must be a father)
Don Jr. doesn’t qualify by the first theory and does qualify by the second theory.
At the time of the founders a wife automatically had the same citizenship as her husband so there would not have been an issue.
I don’t know if this has already made the rounds or not but it totally blew me away.

Xi’s Changing Plan
by John Mauldin
https://www.mauldineconomics.com/frontlinethoughts/xis-changing-plan
Excerpt:
Six months ago, few Americans had heard of Evergrande. Now many worry this Chinese property developer’s downfall will start an economically devastating chain reaction.
They’re right about the chain reaction part, but I don’t think it will “devastate” anyone outside China (unless they have business there). Nonetheless, this episode exposes some other China issues worth discussing.
A few months ago in Xi’s Big Mistake, I said Beijing risked killing the entrepreneurial activity that had spurred the country’s rapid growth. As we learn more, this is looking less like a mistake and more like a mistakenly-conceived plan.
It’s hard to be sure because Chinese plans unfold so slowly. Leaders like Xi also don’t panic when their plans encounter difficulty. They patiently wait to get back on track, maybe nudging events along here and there. As long as society is stable and the regime not threatened, they just let it unfold. This opacity makes understanding China from the outside difficult.
…Much of today’s China analysis is based on headlines and not what’s really happening on the ground. There is a great deal of bias and sensationalism used to attract eyeballs and readers. Similarly, in the 1980s when US government agencies and especially the Defense Department were focused on Russia, Andy Marshall was saying China would be a bigger problem.
Down on the Farm
Like much of our discourse these days, the China discussion suffers from either/or thinking. Some call China an implacable foe bent on world domination, whatever the cost. Others see an aging autocracy clinging to a failed Communist ideology that will inevitably collapse.
I don’t rule out either of those possibilities, but there’s a lot of room for China to “muddle through” between them. That’s the far more likely outcome in China, in my opinion, just as it is in the US. Muddling through doesn’t mean “no problem.” It can bring big problems, but they fall short of the doomsday thinking of the either/or scenarios.
To understand how/if China will muddle through, we need to view current events in context. Change happens slowly even in small countries. China certainly isn’t small, so it can take years to even notice a change is happening. But consider the last few decades.
Modern China’s founding father, Mao Zedong, led the government from 1949 until his death in 1976. He was ideologically Communist and acted accordingly. There was nothing resembling capitalism in China during those years. And like the Soviet Union, it didn’t work very well. China under Mao was an unmitigated disaster. Tens of millions of people literally starved as government officials lied about farm production in order to please Mao. Massive misallocation of capital kept the country poor. Reeducation camps for anyone thought of as an intellectual scarred a generation.
A once-thriving economy became an impoverished mess. Mao’s successors recognized this and started “restructuring” long before Moscow did under Gorbachev. This may be why China avoided a similar disorderly breakup. And understand, many of the subsequent and current leaders of China grew up and were influenced by those events under Mao.
So throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Chinese authorities, under the encouragement of Deng Xiaoping, allowed some capitalist-like innovation and entrepreneurship, but always within limits. It led ultimately to China’s 2001 admission to the World Trade Organization, now widely seen as the launch of globalization.
Louis Gave argues (and I think rightly) that in global historical perspective, China entering the WTO may have been more important than 9/11. The country’s growth in the early 2000s was unlike anything in economic history. As many as 250 million people moved from subsistence farming to working in cities with far better lifestyles in a few decades. That’s a bigger migration by a factor of 10 than anything else of which I’m aware.
But as the old song went, “How ya gonna keep ‘em down on the farm after they’ve seen Paree?” Show people even a little prosperity and they don’t want to go back.
…This became a problem for China when the Great Recession struck in 2008. Those millions of newly-happy peasants became a threat to social order, something Beijing couldn’t abide.
The solution was simple, though. With exports dried up, the government turned inward by launching massive infrastructure and housing projects around the country. These produced some valuable facilities but their real point was to produce jobs. And it was mostly debt-financed.
All this happened before Xi Jinping became president in 2013. He was on the Politburo at the time, though, and so involved in the decisions. Did he agree? We can’t know. He had grown up under Mao and spent his career advancing through the Party’s ranks. Everything we know says he is a dedicated communist. But he reached the top by being a pragmatic, get-things-done administrator.
In any case, it fell to Xi to deal with the aftermath of these choices. The infrastructure campaign and related policies produced a giant economic boom in themselves, further enhanced by the rest of the world’s simultaneous recovery. China and Xi took advantage of the economic boom and their trade balance simply soared. It is hard to see a trade war in this data:
China developed something new: a class of wealthy business founders, corporate executives, and professionals seemingly independent of the Communist Party. Their rise is now looking less like the goal and more like a temporary side effect.
“The phrase—“To get rich is glorious”—is the simplified version of what Deng Xiaoping told his country a generation ago: “Rang yi bu fen ren xian fu qi lai,” he declared. “Let some people get rich first.” It unshackled China’s economy, and created the tycoons and super-growth we see today.” (Evan Osnos in The New Yorker)
Which brings us to Evergrande.
Evergrande, the troubled property developer now emblematic of China’s problems, didn’t appear out of nowhere. It grew by providing a) something people needed which was b) consistent with the government’s goals.
Sometimes the best economic insight comes from outside economics. This is from an interesting 2019 article on Chinese “superblock” architecture—those giant, tombstone-like apartment towers that dominate city skylines there.
Chinese officials in the 1990s were under pressure to expand the housing supply, and fast. The most expedient way of accomplishing this was to parcel out enormous plots of land to private developers, who quickly filled them with 30-story residential towers. The city planning authorities, meanwhile, obligingly built eight-lane highways between the blocks to service inevitable car traffic.
One reason for this… is the symbolic importance of cars and highways. Chinese officials obsessed with projecting a “modern, world-class” facade would of course seek to emulate the American city model, no matter how badly that model has been discredited. For ordinary Chinese people, too, car ownership was a crucial indicator of socioeconomic status.
But an even more important reason behind the continued insistence on superblock planning is the reliance of Chinese city governments on land lease revenue. Since the tax-sharing reform of 1994, cities have been obliged to fork over an enormous percentage of their tax revenue to the central government. In order to generate enough revenue to cover social services and other costs, cities have come to rely heavily on China’s land-lease mechanism that allows the city to rent parcels of land to private developers for a period of 70 years.
Superblock planning therefore was irresistible to Chinese officials, who could quickly expand the housing supply and generate a massive amount of tax revenue in the process. Although it’s changing, it’s still the case that Chinese cities generate an astonishing percentage of their revenue from land leases—more than half by most estimates.
The key point here: Evergrande-like development in China wasn’t just capitalism doing its thing. It was capitalism facilitated by government officials for their own purposes. Beijing wanted social order and local officials wanted revenue. The housing projects helped deliver both. Capitalism with Chinese characteristics?
Not surprisingly, this led to excess. You may have seen the viral video of 15 empty towers being imploded in Kunming this summer. They had sat empty since the developer ran out of money in 2013. Many more such “ghost cities” exist, often financed by pre-sales before construction even started.
Here in the US we think of homeownership as a sign of financial maturity and stability. In China it is even more so. Some estimates show 80–90% of household wealth is in real estate. That wealth is now in serious danger. The Kunming implosions suggest portions of it will literally go up in smoke.
Evergrande’s problems, like those of other developers, began when the government cracked down on the same leverage and speculation it encouraged for years. That’s how central planning works. The plan can change.
The China experts I follow don’t expect this will spark a financial crisis. As Louis Gave said in a recent report I shared with Over My Shoulder members, Evergrande is collapsing not in spite of the government’s wishes but because the government decided to let it fail. Protecting big companies is inconsistent with Xi’s new “Common Prosperity” initiative, so it will stop. Here’s Louis.
… Making businesses bear the cost of their mistakes is refreshingly capitalist. We should do more of that here. In the Chinese case, these mistakes were also the government’s. But because the government rules, it will decide who to protect. Chinese homebuyers who never got their homes will probably get bailouts. Property developer executives, shareholders, lenders, and suppliers probably won’t.
In fact, what is happening on the ground is that all of the cash from Evergrande and other equally distressed companies is being used to finish the projects for the homebuyers at the expense of the bondholders and of course the equity holders. The rule of law is the rule of Xi, and he is pragmatic. He deems the well-being and happiness of homebuyers more important than a few upset bondholders.
The visible impact of all this will be mostly within China, but its macro effects will be global. Such wealth destruction should be intensely deflationary. That may be part of the goal, in fact. Chinese consumers are feeling significant inflation in food, housing, and other living costs. Demographic factors, particularly population aging, will increase this pressure. Decades of the one-child policy reduced working-age labor supply, which raises wages and other prices.
But it won’t stop there. For years, China’s voracious appetite for energy and materials underpinned prices worldwide. At the same time, its low manufacturing prices basically exported deflation. Hence we saw little or no inflation in most finished goods but a lot of inflation in commodity-intensive services like food, energy, and housing.
In short, China is losing its role as the world’s lead manufacturing exporter. Government policies aren’t helping, but George Friedman notes this is actually a cyclical process. He wrote a thoughtful piece (which I shared with Over My Shoulder members here) about the apparent 40–50 year pattern in which a nation takes on this role then loses it. The US did so in the 1890s, then it was Japan, and China since the 1980s.
…The end of this period is traumatic. The US marked it with the Great Depression, and Japan with its 1990s downturn, but both countries adapted and recovered. (You might even say they “muddled through.”) George expects the same for China.
China, of course, isn’t going anywhere, and it will be a permanent economic power after it stabilizes. But the breathless blather of its taking over the world will have been proved wrong. Another country we never expected will take its place, and then we will claim to have always known it was there.
China has its own wrinkles, which to me are quite frustrating. A country so large, with so many brilliant, hard-working people, really could take a leading economic role in the right circumstances, and the world would be better for it. But it would require a government that allows personal freedom and entrepreneurship, and China under Xi will have neither.

Interesting take on China. One error IMO is there is no creative, entrepreneurial “spirit” in Chinese culture. Their history is one of being ruled by Emperors of one sort or another and dictators. Technology advancements have been achieved by IP theft and backward engineering of stolen IP. Now they may be able to achieve first world status but they may age before they are able to achieve it.
It would be helpful if people would name the hospitals that you want to avoid.
China plays hard chess too, evidently. Who and What don’t they own, by now?

2005-2006
US DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE held a patents for Algorithms designed to predetermine outcomes of elections, by remote control, anywhere.
(First use of algorithm manipulation was for Hugo Chavez, Venezuela.)
DOD transferred their patent to a university in New Jersey, well populated by foreign nationals with popular “think tank” studies. Hmmm?
2019 - (a prescient year)
DOMINION assigns 19 patents capable of monitoring elections, ajudicating ballots, manipulating outcomes of elections, to the HONG KONG-SHANGHAI BANK / Canadian Branch, for which CHINA payed DOMINION $400 Million dollars.
Patents were bought by the
NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH
(NIH) for election monitoring. Hmmm?
An uncertain name of a Hedge fund is now in possession of a patent. Hmmm.

Excellent! Tune your ear, Lord, that your Word may not return unto you void. 🙏
No, you were clear. I would love to know the numbers of people who got one shot of Moderna or Pfizer over 6 weeks or more ago and never got the 2nd one. It would say a lot about how the bad reactions they likely got that kept them from going back for more. That, or they saw what happened when a person they know got the 2nd dose.
But I think the survey reported in Forbes dealt strictly with 2-dosed and no-dosed people.
Followed JO7 for about a month until I realized he was full of 💩. And the McAfee channel syntax is absolutely nothing like the Q drops. Bad fake.
I thank you very much for that video.
This guy is right in my neck of the woods
