A celebration like no other in history - American Revolution 2026
We are moving into a season of celebration as we and our allies around the world are shrugging free of the last of the dying New World Order.
All Glory to God - He has indeed shed His grace on us, even after our enemies foreign and domestic were certain we were defeated.
May God bless all who served His purpose in bringing about our miraculous rescue. Father in Heaven, thank you for leading America in battle, and granting her victory.
To commemorate these amazing days, we're invited to celebrate Q+/Q/mil's victory and restoration of America's Independence, and freedom around the world, by attending the historic 17-day Freedom 250 - the Great American State Fair June 25 – July 10, 2026 in Washington DC.
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.

Those who attack you.

Those who label you.
Do they represent you?
Or, do they represent themselves (in some form)?
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.
WWG1WGA!!!Q
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.

Welcome to our Q thread.
It's impossible to learn about Trump's successes and strategies by following the MSM.
President Trump and his warriors have dedicated much prayer, courage and sacrifice to the strategy now transforming D.C. The groundwork took time, but the path to justice is finally being exposed to the public.
By learning all we can, we are supporting President Trump's vision for our country.
MAGA!
Our prior Q thread is here:Q ~ Trust Trump's Plan ~ 06/01/26
Know your Nautical Terminology
We continue our new series of items highlighting with humanity's early exploration of Earth's oceans, lakes, and rivers and leading to the use of watercraft for transportation and commerce. This month I introduce the devices that allowed the finding of latitude.
The initial attempt at measuring latitude was the Astrolabe. It is thought to have originated with Hipparchus (c. 150 BCE) or Apollonius (c. 240 BCE). The version developed by Arabs around the 7th–10th centuries was more reliable. The mariner’s astrolabe (a simplified version) emerged for sea use around the late 13th–15th centuries. It measured the altitude of the Sun or stars using a suspended ring or disk with sights and a scale; a plumb bob helped establish the vertical. It was useful but challenging on a rolling ship. The REAL reason pirate captains are depicted as wearing an eyepatch was from staring into the sun taking noon sights over the years.
The 14th through the 16th centuries saw the development of the Quadrants, Cross-Staff, and Backstaff.
* Quadrant (mariner’s quadrant): A quarter-circle instrument (wood or brass) in use by around 1450, with roots in earlier astronomical versions from the 9th century. It measured angles via sights and a plumb line. Popular with Portuguese explorers in the 1400s but unstable at sea.
* Cross-staff (Jacob’s staff): Described in 1342 by Levi ben Gerson. It used a staff and sliding crossbar to align a celestial body with the horizon. Accurate but required viewing two points simultaneously and looking directly at the Sun.
* Backstaff (Davis quadrant): Invented c. 1595 by John Davis. Allowed the user to face away from the Sun, using its shadow aligned with the horizon. A significant improvement for solar observations.
These tools primarily enabled latitude determination (e.g., via the Sun at noon or Polaris at night) but were limited by ship motion, direct Sun glare, and the need for separate sightings.
The 17th through the 18th centuries saw the introduction of reflecting instruments leading to the Sextant.
* Isaac Newton developed ideas for a double-reflecting instrument around 1699 (unpublished). Robert Hooke proposed related designs in 1674.
* The Octant (reflecting quadrant) was independently invented around 1730 - 1731 by John Hadley (English) and Thomas Godfrey (American). It used two mirrors to superimpose the image of a celestial body onto the horizon, allowing simultaneous viewing. This was far more practical on a moving ship. The name comes from its 45° arc (1/8 of a circle). It largely replaced earlier tools by the late 18th century.
* The Sextant: evolved directly from the octant. John Bird produced the first practical sextant in 1757 - 1759 (with a 60° arc, 1/6 of a circle, allowing measurements up to 120°). It was developed to support the lunar distance method for longitude (measuring angles between the Moon and other bodies). Captain John Campbell is sometimes credited with suggesting the expansion to 60°. The sextant offered greater range and precision.
The double-reflection principle (mirrors) was the key innovation, solving the problem of simultaneous horizon and celestial sightings amid ship motion.
This solved the problem of the determining latitude and the altitude of celestial bodies. It only remained for determining longitude to enable full celestial navigation.
Next month I will discuss the finding of longitude. Then we can discuss the dark art of Celestial Navigation.

In pretty early.
Thank you for the new thread. :)
Howdt! ...x2
Thanks again RN!

So odd how little anyone seems to care about 250 compared to 200. Tall ships anyone?
Stream above has recording of woman - numerous f-bombs.
Oooo this IS early for me.
too bad I just posted stuff on the old thread
Copy and paste here!
