Before digging deeper into what is happening, and why it is leading to the Second American Revolutionary/Civil War, I will interject a few things that we must do immediately to be prepared for what is unfolding.
The most important thing we can do to be positioned and prepared for what is unfolding is to find our place in The Lord’s body, the church, and function in it. I have been preaching this for decades, but the longer we wait to do it, the more difficult it will be to do, and the consequences for not doing it will soon be greater. Knowing what is about to happen will not help us if we are not in the right place, doing what we were called and created to do. The church is still far from what it is called to be. Great change is needed, and great change is coming. However, those who are waiting for the change to come before they try to be a part of it will be in danger of being in the company of the foolish virgins who waited too long. Those who will play an important role in His body need to be part of the process by which the body becomes what it is called to be. To counter the spirit of this world that is bringing the darkness, we must move in an opposite spirit. We must resist the growing hatred by growing in love. We must resist the anxiety and fear by abiding in the peace of God and growing in faith. One of the primary ways we counter the spirit of division growing in the country is to grow in unity with The Lord and His people. It is not possible to be properly joined to The Lord and not also be properly joined to His body. A basic requirement to grow in a spirit of unity is learning to resolve disputes in the right spirit. Church is one of the primary places we are called to learn this. Those who leave the church because they got offended are usually the same ones who end up leaving their marriages, jobs, and just about any other commitment when things don’t go as they want. This is the symptom of the “spirit of divorce,” or “spirit of division” that we are warned about in Scripture. We must resolve that we will not let that evil spirit rule our life and thereby ruin our life. We must also resolve that we will not let it rule our country and ruin it. Divisions will come, as the Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians and the Apostle John wrote in I John 2. Sometimes divisions happen even between the best people, such as when Paul and Barnabas had a sharp division and parted ways. However, it is when there is a pattern of division that we must be concerned. This is an indication that one is operating in a “spirit of division.” These are those that Jude addressed: “In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts. These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit” (Jude 18-19). I personally moved in this spirit of division the first few years I was a Christian. I caused many divisions and was guilty of slandering leaders and other Christians. I was often right about my evaluation of the problems, but moved in a spirit that brought division rather than fixed problems. This was mostly because I was moving in a great amount of pride. My repentance started when I was shown that as I did unto the least of The Lord’s little ones, I was doing it to Him. I was then shown that what I was guilty of was far worse than anything those I criticized were guilty of. There is a saying that “any jackass can kick a barn down, but it takes a skillful carpenter to build one.” Have you ever known of a critic that started a revival? Have critics ever built anything of significance? Do you know of any who are celebrated in history? Many that The Scriptures call “fault finders” will have accurate discernment and are right about the wrongs that they see, but they move in a foul spirit that only does harm to the work of God and His people. Jude reminds us that “the deep darkness” has been reserved for them. It would be much better to be wrong about a lot of things than to be a “fault finder.” When Jesus saw what was wrong with the world He did not criticize or condemn us—He laid down His life for us. That will be the nature of the true leaders that He sends. As we are told in Ecclesiastes 3, there is a time for everything. There is a time to build and a time to tear down. The Apostle Paul said that he had the authority to build up or to tear down the Corinthian church. He had the authority to tear down there because he was the one used to plant and build them. The point is that it is the builders who have the authority to tear down. It is the builders who have the heart for something, so they have the right heart to know what needs to be torn down. In the transformation that is coming, a lot will be torn down. There is a lot that needs to be torn down. However, we should not try to tear anything down without having a clear vision and a good plan for building in its place. The Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 1:9, “And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment.”“Real knowledge” and “all discernment” will only be found with the one whose love is abounding. For this reason, we will not have the knowledge or discernment that can help the church if we do not love it. Neither will we have the knowledge or discernment that helps our country if we do not love it.
I’ve posted Rick’s recent article in full as it seems to be a timely message. I don’t read it to say people need to find a traditional church (as in, an organization with a building) as much as it is saying we need to look around and see who we are developing deep connections with in the context of our whole life, including our faith.
There is a lot about to happen in this season. My prayer is that we will have done the inner work necessary to be able to handle the visible assignments that will be upon us before we can even blink.

HOWEVER, not everybody is ready to rub shoulder’s with HILLARY’S BEST FAKE NAZIS, who – I must admit – get pretty tiresome pretty fast, no matter HOW one feels about free speech.

Maybe Parler isn’t so bad for MAGA Normies who don’t like what they see on Gab. And there are some familiar faces on Parler, too!

I’m very happy that our VSGPOTUS got to spend this time in Japan. Very few countries BROADEN THE MIND like Japan. Taking part in this changing of the guard in the Japanese royal family is truly historic – a great honor and I’m sure a great blessing for both nations.
This is exemplary of the positive future that can be had in a world with RESPONSIBLE NATIONS learning to get along with each other, while sticking up for the good of their own peoples!
With all that said, however, it’s still REALLY GOOD to have our VSG back home.
For LOTS of reasons!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
And what’s even better – all the GREAT NEWS while President Trump was away, means he can just hit the ground running.
I was actually sticking up for Sleepy Joe Biden while on foreign soil. Kim Jong Un called him a “low IQ idiot,” and many other things, whereas I related the quote of Chairman Kim as a much softer “low IQ individual.” Who could possibly be upset with that?
I’d like to take a moment and thank OUR FLEP for those great news roundups. These things are a true service to MAGA, and I’m quite proud that we have such REAL NEWS here.
THREE CHEERS FOR FLEP!
So – now it’s time to roll up our sleeves, FOLD OUR ARMS, and get to work on those nasty FINAL PROBLEMS!

Remember what Q said about CANKLES and BEELZEBUBBA? Our TREASONOUS former White House landlords who HELPED the Chinese military for CASH?
I was trying to think what this meant.
Well, now I know what it DOES mean. DISINFORMATION.
The only reason I figured this out was DISCERNMENT, which involved first SKEPTICISM of social media, THANKS TO FAKE NEWS, and then trust in LOCAL MEDIA, which provides REAL NEWS.
The Democrats have been playing tricks on us. They are also FLAILING and hoping we don’t figure out what’s going on.
Let’s begin with the charge of the “doctored video”:
This is actually some rather extraordinary propaganda, and people need to keep an eye on the names of these reporters, because I suspect we’ll be seeing a lot more BULLSHIT from them.
First of all, let me just say that I found it weird as hell that the left suddenly announces this doctored video and then refuses to take it down, which is their usual tactic. That just seemed very unlikely.
Why are they leaving it up? To appear “fair”? To appear non-censorious? And then they take down that anti-MAGA HAT art on Facebook? I don’t get it. Something is weird about what they’re doing right now.
To me, they’re FLAILING. Jerking us one way, and then another. CONFUSION.
But then I actually saw both the “undoctored” and “doctored” videos on OAN, and was really confused, because I found the ALLEGEDLY DOCTORED ONE more understandable and less slurred than the ALLEGEDLY UNDOCTORED ONE. Also, there seemed to be weird lighting differences that made one of them more blue than the other.
Frankly, it looked to me like nothing more than THE POWER OF SUGGESTION and a FORMAT CHANGE of the video by somebody’s plain old video software doing normal video software stuff. Speed up? Slow down? It was MICROSCOPIC IF AT ALL. Who cares? It’s almost not noticeable, and actually BACKWARDS to me.
It seemed more like PROPAGANDA than reality.
And to top it off, a PRISTINE VIDEO of the entire incident captured ON TV by our wonderful Karli Bonne – who uses the lowest of all possible technology by taking PHONE PICTURES OF HER TELEVISION – shows that frigging Nancy Pelosi appeared DRUNK or DEMENTED in the original footage itself – as aired on TV – with absolutely no possibility of dirty tricks.
Those who say Narco Nan's slurred speech and confused affect are the result of TAMPERING – you know, people like CIA-WaPo and CIA-CNN and Brian D. N. C. Stelter – can deal with Karli and Fox News live coverage. Your hastily constructed STRAW MAN defenses are NOT HOLDING, CIA! https://t.co/8XiHOmdIPq
Allow me to record both Karli’s tweets AND screen shots, since they are constantly throwing this woman off Twitter for her HILARIOUS real-time recorded TV viewing, which mercilessly mocks the Soviet Fake News.
So – the charge that Pelosi’s behavior was just due to a SLOWED VIDEO was clearly bullshit. BUT – and this is key – the whole affair left me suspicious. And that was GOOD.
Because then I saw this tweet here, in a VIGOROUS discussion of Hillary’s health…..
First THIS ONE, in which a woman appears to be assisting Hillary Clinton and gripping stuff in one hand that LOOKS like it could be an epi-pen……
Kinda like “ARE YOU OK, HILLARY?”
And then THIS ONE, in which Hillary looks like she has some kind of TERMINAL PALLOR AND EDEMA….
People HERE were thinking the broad on the LEFT was actually CHELSEA CLINTON, all fat and preggers. HOLD THAT THOUGHT. But Hillary – WOW. Not exactly a flattering pic.
Folks – this looked like an open-and-shut case of #HillaryHealth.
People online were questioning whether it was even HILLARY, and falling YET AGAIN for the infamous STUNT DOUBLE DISINFORMATION THEORY….
NOW – this all made me very suspicious. The old #HillaryHealth fight was FILLED with disinformation. At its height, Democrat shills covered up Hillary’s PILL-ROLLING TREMOR of her right index finger during Debate 1 with some theory about “secret scrolling” of hidden notes being shown to her on the podium.
Yeah – it can get that bad. One REALLY HAS TO DIG INTO THIS STUFF to find the truth.
So I blew up that second photo, and realized that the facial shape was really fairly unchanged, with just a lot of make-up on, and we were really dealing with apples and oranges. But still, she really looked a lot better in the speech photo, than she did in the parade photos.
The whole thing was starting to smell like the “power-of-suggestion disinformation” used against #HillaryHealth researchers back in the Parkinson’s days. BUT we still have to be careful.
Hillary really DID look bad in those two parade photos with the Tweet – which I suddenly suspected were DOCTORED.
I mean – COME ON – look at her! The woman looks like she has CANKLES OF THE FACE!
SO – off I go – happily – absolutely certain that this is a DOCTORED PHOTO of her – and looking for the originals.
So I start digging into search engines, and I find THIS photo:
What the heck???!!! She doesn’t look so bad here! Where did THIS picture come from?
This was a LOCAL reporter doing a story in Chappaqua. Let’s look more closely at that photo.
First of all, NO WAY is that Web Hubbell’s daughter! That is NOT Chelsea Clinton being towed along by CANKLES!
But then look at Granny Mao! She looks NOTHING like that terrible picture above!
SO – what I did next was to go looking for more pictures of Hillary from that parade, and I found a whole SLIDE-SHOW of them from this Tania Savayan gal. That slide-show was syndicated to a bunch of mainstream newspapers on the web.
I pulled out ALL the Hillary photos.
It was interesting, but try as I might, I could not find a bad image of Hillary in the slide show.
I then looked specifically back at the ORIGINAL ARTICLE in the LoHud. There, I found a VIDEO. You can see it below, scrolled to the “best” (meaning clearest) picture of Hillary.
Looking more closely:
I’m sorry – she just doesn’t look that bad in ANY of these “good” (clear) photos from the rally. Sure, a little sag, a little aging, a little “I’m going for a walk in the morning and yeah I’m not exactly looking like I just left the stylist.” But it just ain’t that bad.
Here is the ABSOLUTE WORST FRAME from that video, blown up. What I did was CATCH Hillary in the middle of speaking while walking, so that I could get the WORST POSSIBLE FACE.
I mean, I made this woman just look ILL. That’s right. “ILLARY!”
Compare that again to the “bad Hillary picture” from the tweet that started this:
To me, this picture was CHOSEN to make Hillary look BAD. It MAY be doctored, but why doctor pictures when SELECTION of bad frames from videos provides both WHATEVER YOU WANT and AUTHENTICITY AS WELL? Or maybe it’s just a bad still picture selected from a bunch of them.
The point is – NOT FLATTERING.
And we KNOW there were plenty of more flattering pictures available. No excuse to publish this one.
So who is this David Buchwald guy? Hey! He’s the guy in the picture with Cankles!
SO – if one analyzes the situation without any accounting for DECEPTION, then it just looks like AW SHUCKS he picked an unfortunate video grab and “some aide will require some discipline” or something like that. Because RETWEETS prove he “DINDU NUFFINS”.
Riiiiiiight?
BUT – if you realize that PUTTING his tweet in front of EXACTLY THE RIGHT PEOPLE means that the RIGHT PEOPLE are going to go “OMG – look at Hillary! POOR SICK HILLARY!”…….
Are you starting to see how this works?
We were SUCKERED, people. AS Q WARNED US.
That Q guy who knows ALL ABOUT TWITTER.
Are you starting to see why the incestuous relationship of Social Media and the DNC actually MATTERS?
Are you starting to see how the combination of OPAQUE ALGORITHMS and DATA WITH HIDDEN PAYLOAD and SECRET TREATIES means HIDDEN TARGETED INFLUENCE?
A conversation yesterday on the Open Thread turned to observations on how America ended up where we find ourselves today. A faint shadow of the free people we became after throwing off the shackles of Britain and pioneering a new life in the New World.
We appear to have just avoided a point of no return outcome and now must not only fight out way back but engineer the safeguards to preserve that hard won place of restored freedom.
Most people do not understand the true nature of conspiracy. They will think “everybody knows everything, or nobody knew anything”. They have been made to think like CHILDREN by the Cabal. — from comment where Wolfmoon points out we have been blinded.
The reply from Kalbo summed up so many important points, I’m quoting it all.
It’s a whole new paradigm being exposed, or some better word…perhaps as simple as TRUTH coming to LIGHT for all to see. At the behest of Globalists, politicos with their adoring MCM have been feeding everyone well orchestrated BS for decades. President Trump was drafted expressly to end the US’ slide into oblivion…but a memory or footnote in history. MCM, Globalists, Uniparty knew this and tried to sabotage his campaign, and Presidency. Pure lies foisted on us from the highest levels. Truth comes out. MCM and Uniparty BUSTED. Half of America, seemingly shocked. But they now know the truth about muh Russia. For three years President Trump has been extolling the sheer ignorance of trade deals forced on us by crooked complicit Presidents – Papa Bush, Slick Willy, Baby Bush, and hussein. President Trump blatantly calls out the STUPIDITY of trade agreements and climate BS… The truth is obvious, we were sold a line of sh!t. And America was taking it all as gospel. America was sliding away…there is no magic wand, no more manufacturing, we’ll be a service economy… Wars are not necessary to win. The US does not need to interfere militarily around the globe to gain positive results. Let countries take ownership and their fix their own issues to secure their future. Allow regional countries to leverage their influence. MIC has been exposed and has lost great influence. Thankfully no name is toast. MS Lindsey and her ilk are throttled back a bit. No longer is the US footing the massive defense bill for countries we protect. Globally, the US has the greatest leverage of all. Economic. President Trump is wielding that economic club with brilliance and precision. Winning across the spectrum of of the economy and broader issues. More Internationally, countries around the globe are waking up to Nationalism and associated pride. Driving their focus to their roots. US, Britain, Australia, Italy… Many, many more countries. Nationalism is contagious. The EU is thankfully disintegrating. Germany will be cast aside for the damage they’ve inflicted. France is waking up. Inquiring minds may wonder…back home. With all of the economic winning, in every category, why has the MCM not trumpeted (no pun intended), how utterly stupid and destructive trade agreements were. America First is the obvious answer. Economic leverage the obvious answer to encourage other countries to behave, be fair… MIC destroys lives, countries and is a perpetual self licking ice cream come of destruction. — Reply to Wolfmoon by Kalbo
The warning could not be more emphatic.
BEWARE THE SIGNS OF BEING MADE INTO AN UNTHINKING PATRIOT BY FAKE NEWS. THEY DID IT BEFORE – THEY WILL TRY IT AGAIN. — from comment where Wolfmoon describes how our pride was used to blind us.
We must not miss this warning!
“See to it that no one takes you captive
through philosophy and emptydeception [pseudo-intellectual babble],
according to the tradition [and musings] of mere men,
following the elementary principles of this world,
rather than following [the truth—the teachings of] Christ.“
Our protection against deception is to ruthlessly reject any and everything that is not 100% true. No matter who says it. Not even our favorite Christian leader. Not even our favorite governmental leader.
It’s something you set your mind to be. Choose to love the truth even when it leads where you do not want to go.
Dear Lord, I say yes, strip away the veils over my eyes. I say yes, grant me the grace to see with Your eyes all that is truly around me. I say yes, draw me ever more deeply into Your truth every day. In Christ’s Name. Amen.
When we choose to open our eyes and see the reality around us we will not be popular. It may become uncomfortable to be around us–even when we don’t open our mouths. And I say, bring it on.

Think about what is happening now. Think about what just happened today. POTUS has CALLED OUT THE DEMS for their SICK FAILED ILLEGAL RADICAL LEFTIST IF NOT COMMUNIST IMPEACHMENT GAME, for which they were caught red-handed. He WILL NOT MAKE A DEAL while they keep it up – and they CAN’T QUIT.
If the Democrats are really tempted by impeachment, bring it on. Since the day after the 2016 election they have been threatening this, placing their chips on the Russian-collusion fantasy and then on the phantasmagoric charade of obstruction of justice. The attorney general accurately gave the ingredients of the offense of obstruction of justice in his four-page summary of the Mueller report: a corrupt act for corrupt purposes in contemplation of a legal proceeding. The attorney general, William Barr, the then deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein, and the Justice Department counsel concurred that none of the elements was present in the conduct of the president as recounted by Mueller. The dream died, except in the febrile imagination of the Democrats, who launched an unfounded attack on the attorney general’s integrity. Everyone knows that the prospects of a successful move to impeach and remove the president from office by two thirds of the Senate finding that he has been proved beyond a reasonable doubt to have committed high crimes and misdemeanors, as the Constitution requires, are less than zero.
Conrad Black, May 22, 2019
What ensues here is a BEAUTIFUL HISTORY LESSON on MODERN IMPEACHMENT. Not only does Conrad Black put WATERGATE in proper perspective – he also puts the Reagan “scandals” and Clinton impeachment in proper perspective.
So who is this guy, who was just recently PARDONED BY TRUMP? The following link will begin to answer your questions, but remember – it’s still FAKE NEWS.
Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Grant of Clemency (Full Pardon) for Lord Conrad M. Black of Crossharbour.
In 2007, prosecutors alleged that Lord Black had committed several acts of mail fraud and obstruction. The Supreme Court of the United States, however, largely disagreed and overturned almost all charges in his case. He nevertheless spent 3.5 years in prison.
An entrepreneur and scholar, Lord Black has made tremendous contributions to business, as well as to political and historical thought. Formerly the owner of the world’s then-third largest newspaper, he is also the author of several notable biographies and works of history. These include comprehensive biographies of Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Richard M. Nixon, a complete history of Canada, and an impressive essay evaluating how the world would have been different had Japan not attacked Pearl Harbor.
Lord Black’s case has attracted broad support from many high-profile individuals who have vigorously vouched for his exceptional character. This impressive list includes former Secretary of State Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, Sir Elton John, Rush Limbaugh, the late William F. Buckley, Jr., and many additional notable individuals. Consistent with his distinguished reputation for helping others, while in prison, Lord Black served as a tutor for 150 students, helping them achieve their educational goals. In light of these facts, Mr. Black is entirely deserving of this Grant of Executive Clemency.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is sitting on a political powder keg. With a President trying to goad her into launching impeachment, fulfilling the textbook definition of abusing power, she faces growing pressure from her caucus to let the House vote on starting the process. On Wednesday Democrats met behind closed doors once again to discuss the situation.
FAKE NEWS CNN, SOME LEFTIST HACK
NOW – you might read that headline and first paragraph, and think that this FAKE NEWS “journalist”, Julian Zelizer, CNN Political Analyst (no relation to CNN Democrat Partisan Brian Stetler, a.k.a. Baby Beluga) is WARNING Pelosi about the dangers of attempting their little communist impeachment game against President Trump.
AND YOU WOULD BE WRONG.
In fact – UNBELIEVABLY – this CNN “political analyst” is saying that Nancy Pelosi should NOT CHICKEN OUT – that she SHOULD begin impeachment.
Whatever.
The FAKE NEWS cannot be fixed. They can only be REPLACED.
This WE ARE ON THE WAY TO JUSTICE WEDNESDAY open thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA world.
Now THAT is a “404” catch and release!

Free Speech is practiced here. ENJOY IT. Use it or lose it.
Keep it SOMEWHAT civil. They tried to FORCE fake Orwellian civility on us. In response, we CHOOSE true civility to defend our precious FREEDOM from THEM.
Our rules began with the civility of the Old Treehouse, later to become the Wolverinian Empire, and one might say that we have RESTORED THE OLD REPUBLIC – the early high-interaction model of the Treehouse – except of course that Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged, and speech is considerably freer in other ways. Please feel free to argue and disagree with the board owner, as nicely as possible.
Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here in the January 1st open thread. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven.
Remember the 5 words that President Trump and Vice President Pence love to hear:
I AM PRAYING FOR YOU!
AND WHAT TIME IS IT? TIME TO….
DRAIN THE SWAMP
Our movement
Is about replacing
A failed
And CORRUPT
Political establishment
With a new government controlled
By you, the American People.
Candidate Donald J. Trump

It’s important to remember WHEN Hillary lost her shoe:
The TIMING of the 9/11 ceremony during one of her Parkinson’s “off days” was key to making this happen. Hillary had managed to schedule, reschedule, and SKIP events very carefully to avoid giving away the game of her Parkinson’s. She appeared on good days, and disappeared on bad days. This was not possible on 9/11. KARMA.
Cernovich and I were among the people who were convinced that Hillary Clinton had Parkinson’s. One of the opinions that I followed very closely on this was Ted Noel, who watched her closely in the news for signs of Parkinson’s. Here is one of his many videos on this:
https://youtu.be/eY5CqjmqWVI
Note that Dr. Noel warns that Hillary might show these eye symptoms in the then-upcoming debates – which SHE DID NOT. It is my contention that she had MUCH practice controlling all her outward symptoms of Parkinson’s. Similarly, the MEDIA was careful to do things and arrange things in a way that covered up for her. Thus, I’m not terribly surprised that she almost completely succeeded in covering things up at that first debate.
One of the things I was most proud of, was discovering (albeit somewhat later) that she was MASKING the classic Parkinsonian “pill-rolling tremor” in the first debate. It was interesting how she did this, with her hand flattened out on the podium. The KEY to seeing this was actually her trolls and shills, who tried to sell the “Hillary analysis crowd” on various extremely cunning bits of disinformation.
One of these disinformation items was to claim that Hillary’s index finger motions on the podium in the debate were some kind of hidden “scrolling mechanism” to look through her pre-prepared answers to questions. As you can imagine, such an idea is highly discrediting if it’s WRONG, and I could tell that I was being shilled VERY HARD on Parkinson’s stuff, so I (1) knew I was on the right track, OVER THE TARGET, and (2) whatever “extreme” things the shills were selling was probably disinformation.
Here is Hillary at the FIRST debate – the debate with Lester Holt and the mysterious podium-paper-snatching man known as “The Cleaner”. There was also some guy who removed a LIGHTING element from Hillary’s podium – presumably the element for the light-box prompter.
You can see that Hillary has her right hand in the air. At many points, she laid her hand FLAT on the wooden surface to the right of her papers, and rubbed her index finger back and forth on the surface in a very subtle way. I believe she was trained to do this whenever she felt a “pill-rolling tremor” coming on.
I do not have close-ups of Hillary’s fingers on the podium, but I did at the time we were analyzing this. They were quite interesting.
Based on the heavy shilling of the idea of a hidden scrolling mechanism, as well as the OBVIOUSNESS of three things that would have supported the bogus idea of the scrolling mechanism: (1) light-box turned on, although no apparent images on it, (2) the “Cleaner”, and (3) the guy removing the lighting element (clearly real), I now suggest the following scenario.
Hillary was NOT terribly worried about the idea that she was getting fed either questions or answers. THOSE IDEAS were not significant dangers for her to lose voters or potential voters. People, frankly, didn’t care if she was fed some answers. THAT is just CHEATING. Most Dems are actually not too bothered by cheating.
Thus, “cheating on questions and answers” – either by the “Cleaner” mechanism or by the lightbox mechanism – was an acceptable “lesser scandal” to promote and NEUTRALIZE the Parkinson’s scandal.
What Hillary WAS afraid of was the idea of Parkinson’s slipping out. THAT had the potential of taking a LOT of votes from her.
THEREFORE her people constructed the RUSE to both DISTRACT and to support the idea that her finger movements, even though well masked, were actually something ELSE. The elements of the ruse were the very obvious “Cleaner” (a distraction), the lightbox being on (likely needed to help Hillary see, anyway, versus Trump, who did not turn his on), and the removal of the lighting element from the podium DURING A TIME IT WOULD BE OBVIOUS. The POINT of all this was to put together a sexy, distracting, and discrediting alternative narrative to the truth – that Hillary was simply hiding her Parkinson’s pill-rolling tremor.
Do you see what we’re up against? And the fake news was ZERO help in this regard.
Nevertheless, justice was served. The Hillary “shoe” event – also known as the “side of beef” event – was when many people realized that Hillary Clinton was NOT WELL – and that she was lying about it. The fake news did its best to cover up, but they failed.
