This Merry Warrior Monday 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 KMAG-KAG! world.
Yes, it’s Monday…again.
But it’s okay! We’ll get through it.
Free Speech is practiced here at the Q Tree. In fact, our host Wolfmoon encourages us to use it…and Enjoy it. “Use it or lose it”, he tells us.
But please keep it civil. Discussion of Q is not only allowed but encouraged. Imagine that! We can talk about Q here and not get banned.
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 that Wolf has created for us.
Remember – your greatest gift to President Trump is FIVE WORDS:
I AM PRAYING FOR YOU.
Wheatie’s Rules:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition from Harry Lightfoot with Audiomachine, titled ‘The Light Between Us’:
Visual descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful: Header Image: Is President Trump standing next to Chairman Xi at the G20 Summit. Our President is smiling at Xi…but Xi is not smiling back. Instead, Xi has the look on his face of someone who is not happy at all with what our President is smiling about. Second Image: Is a moving image, a gif, of a polar bear with his head and shoulders down on the ice. He is pushing forward with his hind legs. He looks tired…but is pushing himself forward, even with his front half down on the ice. Third Image: Is a graphic of President Trump, giving a thumbs up with his right hand. The words, “Where We Go One”, are above his head…and the words, “We Go All”, are below his image. Fourth Image: President Trump is giving a salute to the Marine on duty at the entrance of Marine One, just as he is about to enter the chopper.
It was the MOMENT that I realized that we are dealing with DEGRADATION of Western symbols….
That we are being forced to DEGRADE THEM OURSELVES….
That it is being done using RACIAL REVENGE as a psychological subtext….
And it was ALSO being done using SEXUAL REVENGE as a psychological subtext….
That REVENGE is a form of degradation on both PERPETRATOR and VICTIM….
Exactly like SLAVERY degrades both the PERPETRATOR and the VICTIM….
A BRILLIANT IDEA that I learned from Frederick Douglass…..
And THAT is the moment when I realized who was behind it….
The nation that SNEAKS IN TO CHEAT TO WIN….
The nation that BINDS ITS VICTIMS IN THEIR SLEEP….
The nation that CROWS OVER ITS BOUND VICTIMS….
The nation that DEGRADES and HUMILIATES its bound victims….
The nation that UNBINDS its victims only to MAKE THEM CRAWL….
The nation that now FORCES THEM TO RAPE EACH OTHER AT GUNPOINT….
CHINA.
Yes – just like the way that CHINA is behind the self-destructive genocide of the ANC against white farmers in South Africa – which DEGRADES both the whites and the blacks…..
And just like the way the ChiComs BOMBED OUR FACTORIES by taking the jobs right out from under our workers – making AMERICAN MANAGEMENT rape AMERICAN WORKERS – and then carried out CHEMICAL WARFARE on the survivors using FENTANYL…..
(A cunning yet weirdly misplaced REVENGE for their “opium issues” with Britain….)
And just like a CHINESE MILITARY AGENT – standing on American soil in an American university, lectured the very TECH WORKERS that his operation was about to replace, humiliating the blackmailed management and the soon-to-be SCREWED workers at the same time….
NOPE….
Once I realized that the “symbol-rape” being done by Hollywood against itself is a BRILLIANT and WICKED form of DEGRADING THE VICTIM….
Even worse – making the victims degrade themselves….
THAT is exactly when I knew it was CHINA doing it.
Trust me. You dig underneath ALL of this stuff, and you will find the stealthy influence of CHINESE MONEY, followed by CHINESE DISINFORMATION, and finally CHINESE SUBVERSION, with the coup de grace being to BLAME AMERICANS in general, and “you know who” in particular.
OH, it was so cunning. WAR during “peace”.
Now – first of all, I want to thank fellow QTreeper andyocoregon for his post that made the lightbulb turn on.
Well, I went to the article, and BOOM – that is when it hit me like a ton of bricks.
ALL that ChiCom money in Hollywood. Funding EXACTLY what they needed.
But THEN I thought of the real kicker. The thing that proves what this is.
Why isn’t Hollywood writing GREAT NEW CHARACTERS for women and minorities?
Not BULLSHIT political action characters like “Machete” or whatever his name is. I mean BATMAN-level, or JAMES BOND LEVEL.
Why isn’t Hollywood creating WOMEN characters and BLACK characters and ASIAN characters who are ICONIC and someday people will go “Fucking shit! They want some WHITE GUY to play Fanny Wu? That’s NUTS!”
That is when I realized that BLACKS and WOMEN and ALL MINORITIES are not only being CHEATED out of their rightful future – a future that CHINA wants for themselves….
They are being DEGRADED by the “character cannibalization” that Hollywood is being FORCED TO ENGAGE IN by their NEW MASTERS.
They are being DEGRADED by being made into political propaganda PAWNS.
It is JUST LIKE what Frederick Douglass tried to teach us – that those who CARRY OUT OPPRESSION ON BEHALF OF A SYSTEM ARE THEMSELVES DEGRADED – AND MAYBE EVEN MORE THAN THEIR VICTIMS.
It’s not about “raising up” women and “minorities” in the West. It’s about USING THEM to punish, humiliate, and degrade the West AS A WHOLE.
It’s about making the WEST self-destruct.
And then I knew it. I knew who was behind it.
“Holy CRAP – it’s a form of CHICOM VICTIM DEGRADATION.”
I know a lot about this. I watched it for a LOOOONG time. Very close-up. Everybody who was in tech and watched the ChiComs STRIKE in the dark and PARALYZE management to make them ATTACK WORKERS saw how it all worked.
I was about to post a long diatribe, but then I got the idea for this post, and what you are about to read. So instead, I wrote this:
Chinese investment in “what Americans think about themselves” (otherwise known as Hollywood and the media) is an extremely dangerous thing. Personally, I would just BAN THIS SHIT at 100% levels. Letting CHINA invest in America’s self-image is probably the STUPIDEST thing we ever did.
Sadly, Hollywood is so addicted to ChiCom bucks right now, it would likely DIE ON THE SPOT is ChiCom cash infusions were withdrawn.
That’s where nice, simple, quickly adjustable TARIFFS come in.
You want to put a dollar into Hollywood? Pay TWO DOLLARS.
You want to take a dollar OUT OF Hollywood? PAY HALF.
And then add a “degradation tax” for obvious cultural Marxism.
And then add an “interference tax” for interfering in the plots of movies and shows.
And then add a “censorship tax” for any interference in FREE SPEECH in Hollywood.
See where I’m going? We DO NOT have to put up with this garbage.
And we can even set the tariffs SO HIGH that the ChiComs just LEAVE.
So here is my message to the INHUMAN SKELETON-FACED CHINESE COMMUNISTS.
Lady Liberty, who YOU were making Uncle Sam rape, has just GRABBED A GUN.
KNEEL YOU FUCKERS. Just like your little Kaepernick BITCH.
NOW CRAWL OUT THE DOOR OVER THE GLASS YOU BROKE.
We’ll talk about “reparations” later.

Remember – your greatest gift to President Trump is FIVE WORDS: I AM PRAYING FOR YOU
A vision for the future.
But when all is said and done, God’s Temple on the mountain, Firmly fixed, will dominate all mountains, towering above surrounding hills.
People will stream to it and many nations set out for it, Saying, “Come, let’s climb God’s mountain. Let’s go to the Temple of Jacob’s God.
He will teach us how to live. We’ll know how to live God’s way.” True teaching will issue from Zion, God’s revelation from Jerusalem.
He’ll establish justice in the rabble of nations and settle disputes in faraway places. They’ll trade in their swords for shovels, their spears for rakes and hoes.
Nations will quit fighting each other, quit learning how to kill one another.
Each man will sit under his own shade tree, each woman in safety will tend her own garden.
God-of-the-Angel-Armies says so, and he means what he says.
In prepared remarks this week Representative Liz Cheney, in speaking about America stated “No people has lived in greater freedom.” While this may, in fact, be true, in our current state we face daily reminders that our freedoms are under assault.
At the rally this week Vice President Mike Pence said, “When we have a choice between more freedom and more government, we’ll choose freedom every time.” Which highlights the source of many threats to our liberty in this nation.
Let’s take a step back and ask a few questions. What is freedom? What is subjection? What is slavery? … (and, to go all Q) … What really is freedom?
In the tradition of the Jewish people, the bondage of Egypt is an ever-present memory. It all began with jealousy on the part of Joseph’s brothers. They SOLD their BROTHER into slavery. Well, they probably were patting themselves on the back for being so nice since their original intention was to murder him!
While there is a happy turn of events when Joseph comes into favor with the Pharaoh, it is important to note that Joseph actually uses God’s revelation about the future to create an economy that leads to the enslavement of the ENTIRE NATION, including his own people. He’s probably patting himself on the back because he kept them from starvation!
This is the way of the world. First you leave the place given to you. Then some trouble comes and you give up some of your freedom. Eventually the ruler you gave your freedom to hands power to somebody who despises you and and oppresses you. And when you stay strong, they start killing off your babies, abuse you and your family and try to work you to death. What a way to live.
No need to explain to anybody what slavery is right? Or is that right?
What is slavery? Do you have to be in chains to be a slave?
What about victims of blackmail? Those struggling with drug addiction or heavy debt? Those living with the fear of violence or worse? Those with hidden secrets or promises that constrain their choices?
Who is really free? What does a free man or woman look like?
What do they have that makes them free?
You will have your own answers.
I would love for you to offer your thoughts in the comments!
For me, freedom is an inner state of the heart. A clear conscience, an unshakable trust in the goodness of God, a life of making hard choices when necessary and being willing to surrender everything to stay true to what is right. Think *3

For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition from Twelve Titans Music, titled ‘Elevate’:
Visual descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful: Header Image: Is a gigantic Tree, sitting on a hill in the middle of a group of buildings and homes. The Tree reaches up into the sky, it’s branches forming an enormous canopy. Underneath the canopy, there is a bright glow shining up from within the Tree. The canopy of the tree stretches out over all the structures below. Second Image: Is a rounded doorway at the top of a stone stairway, built into the base of an enormous Tree. The doors are glass and there is a bright glow coming from beyond the doors. There are plants, vines and vegetation on either side of the stone steps. Third Image: Is an open room with comfy-looking futons, a fluffy throw rug and large throw pillows on a gleaming wooden floor. There are glowing lanterns positioned around on the floor. Fourth Image: Is President Trump walking outdoors, with two secret service agents behind him. He is holding up his left arm out to his side, giving a wave with his hand.

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.

LOOK! Dangerous vegetables that require CENSORSHIP!!!
There might be MISINFORMATION!!!
I’m sorry, but I can stand these COMMUNISTS of “whatever” race they are – typically pasty white hipster dweebs – which somehow makes ME a “white supremacist” for calling these damned communists communists, but…..
OH, JUST FUCK YOU, COMMUNISTS!
The banning of Health Ranger and Natural News will forever condemn these communists in tech to the NAZI CORNER of the history books. PROG NAZIS right now are very nearly as bad as the early German Nazis, who had not yet taken control of the German press, but were already inhibiting free speech in Germany. ANTIFA is their beginner street thugs, just like the KPD thugs in pre-Hitler Germany, who ginned up and fought with the brownshirts.
COMMIES VS. NAZIS is like ALIEN VS. PREDATOR. Whoever wins, WE LOSE.
You want to know who is behind this stuff? ADAM SCHIFF.
What a sick little pile of excrement, and I hope he ROTS IN GITMO.
The trouble is, this guy simply sent the signal that the DEEP STATE TECH was waiting for:
Talk about a cynical poll. People like ME who care about FREE SPEECH also care about DISINFORMATION, so we are part of that cynical 77% which is then applied to MY SPEECH, not THEIRS.
See how that works? It’s EVIL.
Consequently, you can bet that I have moved AWAY from Firefox, which can no longer be trusted.
And notice that these censorious hipsters are even helping with the “deepfakes” evasion by the pedos and Clinton-Obama CRIMINALS.
WHATEVER.
Move to BRAVE.
Or move to the FORK of Brave by GAB, called DISSENTER.
WHATEVER. We will work around the ERROR that is censorship.

Do the math. This means something. What does it mean? I think I know. Lots of implications. I want YOU ALL to discuss it, to FORCE THE QUESTION.
But not content to merely celebrate one of the best Trump speeches ever, ending with a MASSIVE Q validation, Q invalidates Hillary’s alleged winning of the popular vote in the 2016 election in one post.

Q posted today – in preparation for the Qth of July – and I thought it was worth covering, because a great thought really struck me from these posts.
This president would love nothing more than to divide our country based on race, religion, gender, orientation, ability, or immigration status. This is the only way he thinks he can prevent the solidarity of working people.
What happens when the ‘controlled’ are told to create a new false ‘racist’ narrative [disinformation campaign]?
Do the ‘SHEEP’ follow?
Think for yourself.
SEE truth.
Q
Q Post 3437
Take a look at Islamist agent Omar’s words:
This president would love nothing more than to divide our country based on race, religion, gender, orientation, ability, or immigration status. This is the only way he thinks he can prevent the solidarity of working people.
We’re not falling for it.
Ilhan Omar, July 16, 2019
What I find remarkable here is that these two women standing here, in the video in this tweet by Ilhan Omar – namely Ilhan Omar and Ayanna Pressley – minus their comrades, Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Ocacio-Cortez – represent two things which both want WITH INCREDIBLE FEROCITY to take away MY rights and MY freedoms.
Namely, COMMUNISM and ISLAMISM.
In fact, they want to take away EVERYBODY’S rights – all in the name of “equality”.
In doing so, those two things – communism and Islamism – have LITERALLY gerrymandered REALITY ITSELF in every possible IMAGINARY way except the ways that matter.
But what I find MOST ODD is the following.
THEY ARE THE ONES WHO CREATE THESE DIVISIONS.
They FEED on these divisions.
They NEED these divisions.
They STOKE these divisions.
They START these divisions.
They SPARK these divisions.
They CREATE these divisions.
They EXPAND these divisions.
They MAKE TOXIC these divisions.
And now – at long last – they actually have the GALL and the HELL-DESERVING CHUTZPAH to BLAME these divisions on somebody else.
I can in no way say this more strongly.
YOU are the fucking racist, Ilhan Omar. YOU are the fucking racist, Ayanna Pressley.
If you hate this country, which you do, please leave and go to CHINA.
IF you EVER come back, you may think differently about America. But I will tell you ladies this. We will NEVER let you turn this place into another China, where they have REAL socialism, and REAL concentration camps for Muslims, and REAL SLAVERY for PEOPLE LIKE ME.
SO GO TO HELL, SOCIALISTS.
We will NEVER let you bring socialist concentration camps here.
NEVER.
EVER.
Oh, and by the way, I posted about that earlier. Have a look.
Speaking of CHINA and the FOUR HATEWOMEN, I posted this on Gab, about “GO BACK”….
Why should the Four Horseladies go back? Enlightened SOCIALISM and KINDA SORTA EX-SOCIALISM IN China and Russia await their new citizens!
“Comrades Ocacio-Cortez, Omar, Tlaib and Pressley! Welcome to your new home in CHINA!”
China actually has REAL concentration camps for Muslims. You all should go to CHINA and be part of the real drama. Omar and Tlaib get to go INSIDE China’s concentration camps for Muslims, while AOC and Pressley can protest outside for one entire minute, if they’re very lucky, before they get sent to LAOGAI (otherwise known as concentration camps for politics), where they will surely be raped many times before they die, in lovely SOCIALIST CHINA!!! Where there is no racism, as long as you are the “right” kind of Chinese!
SOCIALISM! IT’S AWESOME – FOR THOSE IN CHARGE – FOR A WHILE!

For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition from Thunderstep Music, titled ‘Dare The Impossible’:
Visual descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful: Header Image: Is President Trump at a rally, standing at a podium with Trump supporters behind him, holding up signs. He is smiling calmly and about to speak. Second Image: Is a moving image, a gif, of a polar bear with his head and shoulders down on the ice. He is pushing forward with his hind legs. He looks tired…but is pushing himself forward, even with his front half down on the ice. Third Image: Is President Trump, back in 2011 at the White House Correspondents Diner, where he had to endure being viciously ridiculed by the jackals of the press corps. He is sitting there stoically with a look of resolve on his face. Fourth Image: President Trump is walking away from Marine One on the White House grounds. It is after dark and he is returning from a full day of appearances. Through the dark, in the distance is the Washington Monument lit up for the evening, with two beacon lights shining at the top of it.
Talk about a wake up call. Can you imagine being in that boat? When you travel with Jesus, everything you thought you knew for sure is slated to be shattered into a 1,000 pieces at the moment you least expect it.
Let’s get into the scene. It’s been a very, very long day. The crowds are growing. Jesus instructs his disciples to get the boat ready so they can leave for the night. So far, so good.
As they get underway, Jesus falls asleep in the bottom of the boat. Perfectly normal. Nothing out of the ordinary here.
But then all hell breaks loose.
No, really. I don’t know if you’ve ever been in a storm where a sense of evil purpose can be felt in the storm. Personally, I love a good storm. Driving rain, whirling winds, crazy skies. When a storm rolls in, you are likely going to find me throwing on my jacket with a smile on my face as I head out to deal with whatever needs to be secured.
But then, there are -those storms- where you just know the damage being done by a storm is personal. Something wants to bring destruction.
On this day, Jesus had been taking down the darkness in a big way.
That evening several demon-possessed people were brought to Jesus; and when he spoke a single word, all the demons fled; and all the sick were healed. This fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, “He took our sicknesses and bore our diseases.”
Was this storm sent as pay back? Sure makes sense to me. It seems from the text that this storm carried a payload of intimidation based on the unusual response of the disciples. These are experienced fishermen. They’ve seen a few storms in their time. Why are they so terrified?
At this point, they cry out to Jesus, “Lord save us, we’re sinking!” Seems to me they had some faith in him. Typically, you don’t shout at the person sleeping through a storm to save you. And yet, Jesus seems to be wanting them to have an upgrade of their faith. He instructs them, before addressing the storm, asking them to see their condition. IIRC, he literally calls them “little faiths.”
And then he stands, rebukes the storm, and instantly, the storm is gone.
Talk about mind blown. The disciples thought they were on track. Thought they had faith. Thought they knew this man, Jesus.
So let’s turn this into a question for today. Do you know what kind of an upgrade the Lord is giving you in the storm set against you now? Think *3

For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition from Ivan Torrent, titled ‘Human Legacy’:
Visual descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful: Header Image: A young lady warrior is standing in a field of tall grasses, looking over her shoulder at us. Behind her in the distance, an enormous Tree dominates the landscape. Her long white hair and the tall grasses, are blowing in the wind. Her dark green velvet embroidered tunic has a band of metal armor at the hips, which comes to a V in the front and back. She has metal armor on her shoulders and forearm, and the wind is blowing the long dark green cape that is attached at her shoulders. She is holding a sword in her right hand and in her left hand is a round metal object that appears to be giving off a soft blue glow.
The enormous Tree is in the valley below her and there are gigantic arched structures built into the side of it’s trunk. White birds are flying out from the Tree, towards us. A few small structures dot the landscape around the base of the Tree, along with a forest of smaller trees. Beyond the valley, there are rays of the sun casting light on the Tree and the warrior, as the sun emerges from a distant mountain range. There are white clouds moving through a blue sky. Second Image: A stone pathway leads up to tall double doors, built into the side of an enormous tree trunk. The doors are arched and covered in ornate carvings. There are a few small points of light in the doors, giving off a slight blue glow. Rays of sunlight illuminate the path in front of the doors. Third Image: Is a view of a large room with high ceilings. There are cushioned chairs and a sofa with throw pillows. Tree branches cris-cross the ceiling, with a couple of chandeliers fashioned from branches, suspended from the ceiling. There is a large stone fireplace with a tapestry hanging above the mantle. Fourth Image: President Trump is standing in front of a window in the Oval Office, looking out at the grounds. The view is of his back. His elbows are bent, with his forearms in front of him, perhaps they are crossed…or he is holding something.
