The Quantum Tree

Ever since the White House made the “Q” / Quantum connection public on June 22 of this year, I’ve gone a bit “quantum crazy” – joyfully savoring how one of my favorite scientific subjects is now in vogue, and getting “tip-top” attention!

Remember this?

(Use your scroll wheel – you’ll see…..)

Yeah, that does go off the screen. Here is the full text, as a quote.

And by Q we mean Quantum. Stay tuned 👀

The long series of newlines has an additional invisible character in the middle. The anons have already figured out that little Easter egg! (see below)

Notice the date, too. 06/22/2026 – Just a bit interesting, wouldn’t you say? Again, I leave that for the anons, although I will note that it roughly encodes something extremely cool that I worked on in quantum chemistry. Yeah, I’m reading my own things into it, but it’s all in good fun.

And the Q part gets even more intense. How about this?

That is just fun. Oh, it’s important, too, but I just love when we can have fun with important stuff!

Was this Q trolling? It was beautiful, because NO – it’s way more than trolling. Check out what the White House put out, the same day.

LINK: https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2026/06/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-ushers-in-the-next-frontier-of-quantum-innovation

This isn’t the executive order – it’s the fact sheet about the order – but it is still very interesting.

Let’s look at what it says.

ACCELERATING QUANTUM INNOVATION: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to supercharge U.S. innovation in quantum technologies and strengthen our national security in this critical area.  

  • The Order directs the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, in coordination with other relevant government leaders, to update the National Quantum Strategy to support quantum-enabling technology and encourage partnerships with U.S. industry.
  • The Order establishes a national effort to develop the first ever quantum computer powerful enough to initiate the era of quantum-enabled scientific discovery and accelerate quantum capabilities for commercial applications. This includes evaluations of quantum computing system capabilities, an assessment of the resources necessary to build this science-enabling quantum computer, and development of specifications for such a system.
  • The Order directs the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology to coordinate this effort across the Departments of Energy, War, Commerce, and the Intelligence Community, as well as with U.S. industry and research leaders. 
  • The Order calls on the Secretaries of Commerce, War, and Energy and the NASA Administrator to develop plans to deploy quantum-enabled sensors and networks in the next five years.  
  • The Order prioritizes the development of a strong American quantum workforce through the expansion of registered apprenticeships, credentials, and the creation of National Quantum Workforce Development Institutes. It also directs the development of a plan and other measures to ensure adequate domestic supply chains and manufacturing capabilities for quantum technologies, as well as appropriate funding support for such efforts.  
  • The Order reconstitutes the National Quantum Initiative Advisory Committee and directs the expansion of the Quantum Counterintelligence Protection Team. It also directs appropriate engagement with international partners on quantum matters.

STRENGTHENING AMERICA’S QUANTUM ADVANTAGE: President Trump recognizes that quantum technologies are on the verge of a massive commercial breakthrough and require a bold new policy approach to ensure America continues to lead the field. 

  • Quantum technologies, like a quantum computer or a quantum sensor, will provide transformational capabilities in manufacturing, drug discovery, energy, agriculture, and more. These breakthroughs will drive American innovation, power economic growth, generate high-paying jobs in existing and entirely new industries, and bolster national security.
  • Competing nations are moving quickly to challenge America’s quantum leadership, including adversarial countries that would use quantum to undermine U.S. economic and national security.
  • The Order ensures that the United States enters this new era of quantum innovation with ambitious national goals, a strong domestic workforce, and trusted supply chains in coordination with our international allies and partners. 

FURTHERING AMERICA’S TECHNOLOGICAL DOMINANCE: President Trump continues to prioritize U.S. leadership and dominance in critical and emerging sciences and technologies.

  • In 2018, President Trump signed the National Quantum Initiative Act into law, establishing the first whole-of-government strategy for American leadership in quantum. 
  • President Trump was the first president to identify quantum as an emerging research and development priority for the nation, resulting in a doubling of the Federal research and development budget for quantum. 
  • In January 2025, President Trump announced the establishment of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology to spearhead American innovation and competitiveness in critical and emerging technologies.
  • In November 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order launching the Genesis Mission, a new national effort to use artificial intelligence to transform how scientific research is conducted and accelerate the speed of scientific discoveries across multiple fields, including quantum.
  • The Trump Administration has invested $625 million so far in major national quantum research institutes, in partnership with industry and academia.

Needless to say, I’m pleased as punch with all of this.

While quantum computing got off to a slow and bumpy start in roughly 1981, it has now gotten to the point where it has to be taken seriously. There is definitely some “there” there – and our VSG is absolutely right to be getting on it. Just like he has been on the ball with AI. It’s just great to have a PRO in the White House!

And that’s just the beginning. Quantum sensors are mentioned, too – and yet THAT is still just the beginning. Because QUANTUM is deeper, wider, and longer than anybody can imagine – in my scientific opinion. Feynman really recognized this, and – along with some other scientists who I always trust – I always trust Feynman!

So when Feynman said that nobody understood quantum mechanics – well – I trust that. I’ve watched many, many, brilliant people HELP everybody else to try to understand it, over my lifetime, and THAT is where we really are. It is a group project of all of humanity, to try to understand quantum mechanics. And we’re getting closer all the time.

But still…..

But before we get into that, let’s finish up with the Executive Order, which happens to be Number 14413 (not a prime number, it is the product of 7 x 29 x 71).

LINK: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/06/ushering-in-the-next-frontier-of-quantum-innovation/

This EO is rather lengthy, and includes some interesting things not mentioned in the overview.

I will include the first 4 sections and some of the 5th section.

Executive Order 14413

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1.  Purpose.  America stands at the cusp of a quantum revolution.  Quantum information science and technology (QIST) will provide transformational capabilities that will drive American innovation, power economic growth, generate high-paying jobs, and bolster national security.  In 2018, I laid the foundation for United States leadership in QIST by signing into law the National Quantum Initiative Act and doubling Federal investment in QIST research and development.  Today, as other nations move quickly to challenge American leadership, the United States must take a cohesive, whole-of-government approach to accelerate deployment and commercialization of quantum computing, sensing, and networking.

In addition to continuing trailblazing quantum research, we must act to solidify the Nation’s position as the world’s QIST superpower and deliver the commercial and research benefits of quantum innovation to the American people.  Equally important, we must protect sensitive technologies and work with allies to ensure adversaries cannot use QIST to undermine national security.

Sec. 2.  Policy.  It is the policy of my Administration to ensure that the United States maintains a strategic technical advantage in QIST and leads the development of a robust and trusted quantum ecosystem across QIST research, manufacturing, commercialization, and application.

Sec. 3.  Updating the National Quantum Strategy.  (a)  Within 180 days of the date of this order, the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology (APST), in coordination with the Secretary of War, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Energy, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), and the Director of the National Science Foundation (NSF), and in consultation with the Co-Chairs of the National Science and Technology Council Subcommittees on Quantum Information Science (SCQIS) and Economic and Security Implications of Quantum Information Science (ESIX), shall update the National Quantum Strategy (Strategy) with policies intended to support the maturing QIST ecosystem, including promoting commercialization and deployment of QIST, supporting the quantum-enabling technology ecosystem, and encouraging partnerships with United States industry.

(b)  Within 30 days of the date of the publication of the updated Strategy, relevant executive departments and agencies (agencies) shall each submit to the APST and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a summary of steps taken to align their processes, policies, and programs with the Strategy.

Sec. 4.  Harnessing Quantum Computing for Scientific Applications.  (a)  There is hereby established the Quantum Computer for Application Development and Discovery Science (QC-ADDS) Effort, which shall be coordinated by the APST.  This national effort shall pursue development of a quantum computer at a scale intended to initiate the era of quantum-enabled scientific discovery, with the intent to deliver at least one such computer to a Department of Energy facility and, to the extent possible, make it available to the scientific community.

(b)  The Secretary of War, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Energy, the DNI, the Director of NSF, and the heads of other relevant agencies as appropriate, in consultation with the Director of OMB, shall ensure that relevant capabilities, manufacturing infrastructure, and expertise are made available to support the QC-ADDS Effort to the extent practicable, and shall deploy these resources towards exploration of quantum-computer-enabled capabilities for commercial, government, and national security applications.  Additionally, the APST shall coordinate with the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Director of the National Security Agency (NSA), and the heads of other relevant agencies to identify additional actions to enhance the QC-ADDS Effort.

(c)  Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Energy, in coordination with the APST and the heads of other relevant agencies, shall identify the technical specifications required for a QC-ADDS to perform transformative scientific applications that are on a path towards economically significant applications and beyond current classical computer capabilities, and shall publicly release a summary of those specifications, as appropriate.

(d)  Within 180 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Energy, in consultation with the Director of OMB, shall explore potential private-sector partnership models to understand the potential cost, scope, and time frame for delivery of at least one QC-ADDS as described in subsection (a) of this section.  Further, the Secretary of Commerce shall develop a plan, potentially including advance market commitments, to encourage contributions to the QC-ADDS Effort from commercial quantum computing companies.  Finally, the Secretary of War shall establish or designate activities and programs to develop the tools and capabilities necessary to advance readiness for national security applications of quantum computing, potentially including the establishment of a center for such purpose.

(e)  To provide for the robust assessment of the QC-ADDS’ and other quantum computing systems’ capabilities, within 180 days of the date of this order:

(i)   the Secretary of Energy, in consultation with the Secretary of War and the Secretary of Commerce, shall establish a national center to develop the tools and capabilities required to accurately assess the performance of quantum computing systems; and

(ii)  the Co-Chairs of the ESIX Subcommittee shall recommend to the APST a mechanism to facilitate information-sharing between relevant agencies to improve the Government’s ability to assess commercial quantum computing capabilities.

(f)  The DNI and the Secretary of War, in coordination with the Co-Chairs of the ESIX Subcommittee and in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Commerce, and the Secretary of Energy, shall identify the national security implications of the increasing scale and performance of commercial quantum computers, such as the implications for the migration to post-quantum cryptography.

Sec. 5.  Deploying Quantum-Enabled Sensors and Networks.  (a)  Within 60 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of War shall identify at least three next-generation quantum sensor projects to prioritize in order to field these sensors by September 30, 2028.

I love that “Quantum Information Science and Technology” is abbreviated as “QIST” (as in Qist).

Why, I may know a few Qists!

So all of this Quantum stuff in the end of June was exciting, but things were about to heat up even more, with the 250th Anniversary of our Nation!

On July 4, Elon Musk began retweeting a “brilliant” (his word) patriotic music video by cyber artist “Heavy Pulp”, originally released on June 30, with an AI-assisted song called “Sweet Land”.

This amazing video is one long tribute to America, the American people, the military, the Q mythos, and what is best described as “quantum science fiction”. I’ve taken to calling this video a “quantumpunk opera” – because that comes closer to describing what it is, than anything else I can think of.

“Quantum” per se is even mentioned in the lyrics, which were compiled by Astute Actual on X.

Watch for the Q memes – they’re everywhere in both the lyrics and the video.

Sweet Land
by: Heavy Pulp
@heavypulp
on X

Sweet land, sweet land of the weary and wild.
Oh where, oh where are you, my sweet (child) (some hear John?)

The garden’s either dying or about to come alive.
The river’s either drying or it’s deep enough to dive.
Can’t tell if it’s the dusk or if it’s breaking into dawn.
Are we going on or are we going, going, gone?

Somebody said a storm is coming, but it’s been a long, long time.
I don’t know what’s up ahead, but please baby, don’t you look behind.
So tell me, is it going to be free energy forever, or just the same…damn…old…grind?

Singing, (sweet land) sweet land of the weary and the wild.
Are we one year from the grave, or is this just the beginning, my sweet child?
Oh, you’re my star-spangled fever dream, half a savior, half a liar.
250 Summers and we’re going higher, higher, higher.

Singing, (sweet land, sweet land) going, going, gone?

The neighbors might be coming with a casserole or a gun.
The kids are either screaming or they’re laughing in the sun.
Is the timeline coming undone, or is it coming in clear?
The fireworks are blinding, but I’ll keep on dancing here.

And nobody can promise me that we’re going to make it to the light.
So is it an awakening, or is this a knife in the night?
So come on brother, sister, stand up tall, because guess what?
Where we go one, we go all!

If you can hear this
from the other side,
across this great quantum divide,
don’t get me wrong,
now is the time to stay strong.
So with all of that I’ll say,
God bless the USA.
God bless the USA.

Singing, sweet land, going on, soaring on.
250 years and it’s going on, on and on.
On the edge of a forever or the edge of being gone.
Is it midnight? Is it morning? Is it ruin? (ruing?)
Is it time to rise?

250 summers gone by,
so just go on and tell me those sweet lies.
The kind as sweet as these Julys.

(Sweet land, sweet land) Going on and going on,
(sweet land, sweet land) I got to “Fight, Fight, Fight” (FIRE).
(Fire – Fire).

(Sweet land, sweet land) going on, going on.
(Sweet land, sweet land) going, going, gone.

So please, just know that we can still rebuild.
We can still make something… Better.

The video features numerous Stargate-style “portals” and other sci-fi references that are all deeply tied in the video to Q-related memes. There is absolutely no holding back. There is even a Q drop number (4559) with the correct date featured in one scene…..

…..as well as a clock that references a variety of fascinating things in Q world. One can find some explanations of these things in replies surrounding the video and its various re-posts by Musk and others.

There is one “proof” related to the clock that I find rather convincing, but I’m still trying to wrap my head around it.

I may do a more dedicated post to the “quantumpunk opera” at a later time. In any case, I really enjoy the song, which is $0.99 on Apple Music and other platforms.

The White House wasn’t the only part of the government having fun with Q memes and Quantumania. Check these out.

Let’s look more closely at that!

The replies on this next one are extremely interesting.

This image portal theme and the tagline message were brazenly and happily stolen from the anons who were researching the MH370 plane disappearance. The discussion by the anons in the replies is highly recommended.

Heavy Pulp even caught this one, noting in his reply that we’re now “portal-maxxing”! LOL!

They are having fun with us, for sure!

And, oh yeah, about that invisible character…..

Anons figured out quickly that was a message about Q clearance, via drop 48.

“Comms”. Ya gotta love ’em!

That’s enough for now. Hopefully, you understand why I think this site need to be up-to-date on the latest “Q” stuff – and that means a higher-than-average group understanding of all things quantum.

I am going to do a background post on quantum science, for y’all, very soon, and it will be surprisingly free of math.

Until then, take care, and have a great weekend!

Dear MAGA: 20260723 ✾ TRUST THE PLAN ✾ Thursday Open Topic

Sometimes you have to have faith.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Plan!

We have created this site as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions. This is a place where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This particular thread is – for the moment – TRUST THE PLAN Thursday. You are welcome to say what you think, in a civil and courteous manner that loves your neighbor. Free speech matters! Courteous speech makes it happen.

Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.

You are you. AI is AI. Keep your identity. Don’t “Borg Out” on us!

And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.

That was stolen from Wheatie.

Let’s steal her rules, too.

  • No food fights.
  • No running with scissors.
  • If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.

Our Mission Orders

Just to make sure you can see that…..

Retrocultural Reminders (Future Proves Past, Past Anchors Future)

Pontifications

Evolution Favors Belief in God

Yeah, I thought that was rather interesting.

No, I’m not going to cite some researcher – some MSM publication – some “source”.

I don’t care what Margaret Brennan or Neil DeGrasse Tyson thinks about it. I’m fully prepared to do my own thinking, and (in my opinion) you should, too – whether you trust or believe evolutionary theory, or not.

You don’t need an authority to tell you to believe the obvious. Believe BACK at all authority.

Which is actually – very ironically – what this post is about. It’s WHY evolution favors religious belief – because – OMG – people obviously, by and large, believe, religiously, in God, or something like God.

What I am saying is that the default position of evolution – that “it’s there because it works” must be applied to mankind’s tendency toward religious belief – whether or not we choose to explain it – whether or not we like it.

Evolution’s first position is that it’s there because it works. And if it has been there a long time, even more so.

And by WORKS, we are saying – to varying but non-zero degrees – that it has some kind of advantage over both potential and actual alternatives.

This remarkable trivial truth is what I would classify as a “self-evident truth” – because anybody with common sense can see that evolutionary theory is in a complete paradox and hem-haw disarray otherwise. The obvious and nearly universal human tendency toward religious belief clearly outlasted millions of years of active Darwinian removal of problems. We don’t have to explain why. Science can do so if it chooses, or it can punt the ball. Doesn’t matter to the facts. Those facts simply ARE.

Evolution likes religion. DEAL.

Explanations of the (to them) annoying fact by materialists and atheists tend to try to paint the evolutionary truth into some corner of randomness or error, but that doesn’t even get to first base with me – a diehard evolutionist – and it should not cut it with you. Major features have alternatives, and when those alternatives are absent, or demonstrate obvious problems when they are not absent, it becomes too patently obvious that the existing feature is advantageous, and the alternatives are not.

Evolutionary mistakes are the exception, not the rule, and the longer something is conserved, the more likely it’s not a mistake, but actually favored. We have to look at Occam’s Razor – right? RIGHT? Because watch any evolutionary argument, and that’s what happens. Conservation through “big time” is always considered prima facie evidence of advantage, in evolution. One simply has to do work to find the advantage and convince others WHY.

Or just rest – for the moment – on the truth nobody wants to talk about. Evolution favored religious belief.

Here is the TL;DR –

Religious belief is one of the things that makes you human. Religion may say so, but evolution says so, too.

Religion says “because”. Evolution says “because it’s there”. And what do you know – religious belief is there.

Enjoy it. And don’t bother with external validation, because YOU are the validation. Your eyes, your ears, your brain, and your logic. Most of all, your belief.

When Every Day Was the Qth of July

This will be a short post, but hopefully there will be many more of them.

I don’t know when we began defaulting to BIG DAILIES and fewer and fewer dedicated posts, but that is not the way things were in the beginning.

Remember the beginning? Some of you probably do.

LINK: https://www.theqtree.com/2018/09/

It was the end of 2018 – just before Trump’s first mid-term election. Q was almost a year old, and the Q culture was developing, but basically new, and somewhat underground. People were talking, and Sundance was getting annoyed with “Q quoting” creeping onto his site – even in the open threads. I began this site in the middle of September. Two months later, after the midterm in November, Sundance would ban Q discussion for good.

Do you remember the first years of this site, when I often used the term “Qth of” as a term for the 17th of any month?

LINK: https://www.theqtree.com/?s=%22Qth+of+July%22

Yeah, those were the days. I’m still nostalgic for those years, but part of me tells me that they can never come back, and – to be honest – they shouldn’t come back.

Recently, I referred obliquely in passing to our “mission” – yes, it was on the Nth of July this year – and Robert Baker pointed out that he was unaware what our mission actually was. It was further pointed out by Pat Frederick that “a mission statement would be nice”!

That was the initial inspiration for this post.

I certainly had a mission at the beginning. I wanted to talk about Q with my fellow Treepers, but I also respected Sundance’s desire (and this is nobody’s quote, but we all understood it to be the case) to “keep that shit off of CTH” – one might say.

I think I had hoped that we could defuse the situation at CTH – that people could talk about Q somewhere else, and keep it zipped about Q on CTH. Sadly, that just didn’t work. Worse still, people were not silent about the issue – either here, OR on CTH itself. Very quickly, this site became a hotbed of criticism of Sundance, and it would even appear on CTH itself, sometimes muffled, sometimes not.

I won’t belabor the point, but those were our beginnings. You can even look at the first post, as a kind of check on my initial intent.

The Q Tree

As we steered further away from The Last Refuge, we dug deeper and deeper into the Q psy-op itself, largely believing that whoever was behind it, those people were basically “white hats” to the American cause.

I personally believe that we always had one of the best, smartest, and most balanced views of “Q” and the “Q movement” on the web. That viewpoint is well encapsulated by our “About” statement, which I composed after January 6, 2021, for the benefit of any visitors after that time.

About

The “About” page, however, is not a mission statement, nor does it contain one. I am actually rather loath to propose a mission statement too abruptly, and in particular because I feel that our mission has changed over time. However, we have had several “tag lines” on the site, and those are surprisingly close to our changing mission.

You can see our first tagline here.

“A flock of Treepers seeking deep knowledge of the prime number 17.”

I loved that tagline. It’s “mathy”!

A later tagline followed after January Sixth.

“Let us live the rest of our lives as love letters to future historians, and leave TRUTH behind.”

A lot of great things happened after that downer of a time – even TRUTH SOCIAL. Indeed, adversity builds character, and January Sixth was – perhaps – a whip in the ass that we all needed.

Later – and I think this was after we had become very good at “reading past the enemy’s tea leaves” – I changed the tagline to a great quote from Robert Oppenheimer, that I believe barkerjim posted. It is still our current tagline.

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer

I love the quote, but it’s not a great mission statement.

So – what is our mission? Well, I think it’s still, in part, what it has always been – a rational discussion of the Q psy-op, to which all are welcome, from “true believers” to blatant skeptics. But that’s only part of the story.

We are MAGA – even when we sometimes voice criticisms of its founder, our amazing President, Donald J. Trump.

We are diehards about TRUTH, JUSTICE, and THE AMERICAN WAY. We are not all fans of Superman, but we love the elements of HIS tagline.

We are not sidetracked by any one issue. We are not diverted from our purposes regarding Q, MAGA, and Trump. When it looked like we were turning into a COVID blog, I put a stop to it, as painful as that was – for me personally, and for the rest of us.

We will NEVER accept the idea that God cannot be present, and loved, in EVERY discussion on this blog. That is our strength. That is our secret weapon. We believe in a return to the original and divinely protected free speech of this nation’s founding – NOT to the secularized, godless, fragile substitute that was demanded by later godless and satanic arrivals to our shores.

SO – I do think we are a flock of Treepers – rather independent ones – who are on a separate mission to Make America Great Again. We are patriots who believe that there exist other patriots defending America from within the government. Yet while we are always of good faith, we still demand facts. We demand truth.

In a nutshell, our mission as God-fearing and God-loving patriots is to defend this Constitutional Republic, and to increase its greatness in all good things and ways. We do this by using our voices in free but courteous speech, discussing the happenings of the world, and coming to a profound understanding of those things, which can be shared with all people and peoples. We then share and promulgate the truth, on both this platform and others.

And maybe that mission statement is too verbose, but let it suffice for now.

Or shorten it, at barkerjim also suggested, to “We’re on a mission from God!”

Speaking of Whom…….God bless you all!

W

PS – I tried to search for barkerjim’s comment about our mission, and got distracted by this post, from way back near the beginning of this site, in 2018. Check it out! It was back when the future of this site was not so certain, when it seemed like the communists were in control.

Band of Brothers. And Sisters.

Looking Forward

This will be my last post of “the prior styles” as we move forward from the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of this great nation.

Trump will have a big announcement tonight – let’s see what it is!

In the meanwhile, I have some announcements. Some of them will be tonight. Some will follow the announcements by our CIC. Our POTUS. Our TRUMP.

I will be changing the style of my opens on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. What that style will be, I’m not quite sure yet. The style WILL be shorter and more current in topic. It will often surround a single idea. It may have elements of homage to older styles, or I may do completely novel things. It will be more of a surprise. In some ways, it will likely go back to the style of my very first posts, like this one – THE very first post.

The Q Tree

If one or two of you wish to join me, I am willing to hand off one or two of these opens to others. Otherwise, I will do all three of them myself.

If I miss an open, meaning I have not created one by noon of that day, then I am counting on others to create one for me, in my absence. As I said, wait until noon.

We may have small changes in mission, as we go forward, but they will not be fundamental.

One of our mission orders just came through! As you can see, there is no change in that part of the mission.

Just to make sure you can see that…..

Looking Back

I just love this video! And yes – it is AI out the wazoo! It is also a masterwork in art, science, propaganda, inspiration, political commentary, and history. I could talk about it all day. But not right now.

It inspired some interesting added AI artwork, which you can see in the replies to the tweet above.

The video brings up many ideas for discussion. There are quite a few of the more obvious “Q” connections – I will leave those for continued discussion by the “usual suspects” of the anon community. Gail and TheseTruths have already brought forth some of those sources for examination, and I’m actually impressed by how quickly and clearly that thinking is being communicated and shared. The “general population Q followers” – a.k.a. “the anons” are surprisingly coherent on this stuff.

I am more interested in some underlying ideas which will be the topics of upcoming posts.

Further discussion of our mission is also coming. I can tell you one thing about our mission right now. It is not over.

Enjoy the show! And if you want a bigger part in it, you know where to find me, and what to do!

Dear MAGA: 20260702 ✾ Thank God ± Theistic Evolution ∈ Thursday Open Topic

This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!

Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.

Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!

Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.

The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.

And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.

And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.

OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.

  • No food fights.
  • No running with scissors.
  • If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.

If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

On the semi-Q-centennial

As our nation’s 250th birthday approaches in just hours, I wish to take the opportunity to thank each and every one of you who is reading this, for being here.

Many others have come and gone, but you have remained. You have persisted. You have persevered.

The Q movement is/was/will be a worthy endeavor. I find it somewhat humorous to say that, when we’re not fully sure what the Q op actually was, or who was ultimately behind it, but I do know this – the Trump administration “played ball with Q” very well, and continues to do so.

The fact that you chose to take part in this thing, despite not knowing exactly what you were signing up for, and that you ultimately did bear whatever costs you incurred for following Q, is something that I admire, and it is why I respect YOU, as an individual.

I love the fact that the Trump administration is now not only openly referencing the Q postings and movement memes, but has strongly linked “Q” to “quantum”. You should note that the word “quantum” never appears in any of the Q drops. I find that fascinating in a good and perhaps very professional way.

Of course, everything “Q clearance” is deeply tied to quantum mechanics, so I’m not particularly surprised that “Q” is now being linked to “quantum science” – including quantum computing. We are in exciting times, and our VSG POTUS has fully embraced the “big Q” of science.

There may be more surprises in store. Enjoy the show!

As you celebrate this weekend, please say a prayer for those members of our crew who are no longer with us, and particularly those who are no longer in this world with us. I will start with a few pictures – feel free to add the others that I have forgotten – both their screen names and any memorial images you can suggest.

They were patriots. Remember that!

May those who have passed, all rest easy with The Lord and the God of Our Fathers in Heaven.

Site Security and Strategy Update

You will recall that one of the most important functions of this site is that we be able to tell the White Hats (presuming that such people exist, which seems increasingly likely) what we really think about things. We need to do this in a timely fashion, too.

We are now entering one of the most dangerous phases of the Trump administration, where things get real – and therefore really dangerous. Honest, frank talk is needed. Free speech is needed. We need to be able to say what we really think. ALL OF US.

Trump is entering (openly, since we’ve always been “involved”) as a third party into a conflict where both sides, to some extent, hate free speech, hate certain truths, and rely on censorship as a tool of war.

This AMERICAN site, which treasures free speech and the truth, will not be a casualty of that conflict, nor of the tactics of the two sides.

A significant strategy of those who are either opposed to Trump and MAGA – or for whom Trump and MAGA are secondary considerations and expendable – has been to slowly drive people from the public square – including this very site – using a variety of tools and tactics. Some divisions are normal, but others are not. The recent divisions over Epstein and Gaza are not, in my opinion, organic, despite using important, organic issues.

One way to avoid division is to declare topics “off limits” – including in (most ironically) the “open threads”. That will not happen. Nor will a negotiated “code of silence” which accomplishes the same thing. The detente of non-discussion is not an acceptable term of peace. And yet, the fighting over specific issues is calculated to drive people away, ultimately. If we don’t speak, the enemies of free and true speech win. If we leave, the enemies of free and true speech win.

Therefore, I am going to create some capability for people to screen whose comments they see or don’t see, and what subjects they see or don’t see. In this way, people will not be forced to wade through content that makes their time here feel like a burden.

I think we have enough healthy exposure to opposing viewpoints here already.

I am already determining how exactly I am going to be able to let people control their feed. I will have to use a programming language I hate, and integrate my work with code that is (how do I say this kindly?) “less than optimal”. But it can be done. I have tested the basic concepts, and what I am thinking is possible, actually works.

Sadly, that programming will not be easy. It will take weeks.

Therefore, I am going to stop doing anything but placeholders on Mondays and Thursdays. After next week, you will only see placeholders on those days.

I ask for your patience during this time. Once I have the new code in place, I will let you know. I may or may not deploy interim versions – we’ll see. Please don’t complain if you see non-functional gizmos along the way!

You have my best wishes during this time. Please hang tough. If you can make it a few more weeks, that is all I need.

God bless all of you, you personally, Free Speech, President Trump, and America!

And if we can ask it most humbly and undeservingly, may God choose to bless this site as well.

Best wishes,

W

DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20250211 ❀ Tuesday Placeholder ❀ Concerning Forgiveness

We continue to mourn the untimely passing of our beloved compatriot DePat, known in real life as Susie Sampson, and also as author Patricia Holden.

Until we have a dedicated author for the Tuesday daily open thread, I will be posting “placeholders” like this one, which may or may not be spiced up with additional content.

Gudthots will take DePat’s old Thursday daily open thread.

Please notify me in advance if you would like to post anything in lieu of the Tuesday placeholder. We welcome all content – the topic doesn’t matter.

Concerning Forgiveness

Just a quick note regarding a sentiment that DePat mentioned in her open threads from time to time.

Let me cite the relevant portion of DePat’s Wednesday 3/27/2024 post for concreteness. I have made the MOST relevant portion…..

really big and really bold.

DePat…..

As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.

Please include: President Donald Trump, the Q team, our soldiers in the field, special forces, tactical units, first responders and those working behind the scenes…and any and all people with family members in the hospital, COVID or not.

And…members of the QTree who no longer participate for one reason or another.

https://x.com/MAGAgpsmith/status/1521318822204035072

It is quite clear, as per Wolf’s message from July, that we are under spiritual attack. Building up a robust arsenal of prayer and discipline is a must in fighting the enemy and his minions.

In that spirit, the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel from Tuesday’s threads, and the Breastplate of St. Patrick, not to mention the Litany of Humility are favorites recommended by exorcists in spiritual warfare.

Wolf again…..

Thus, I wish to address not only “…members of the QTree who no longer participate for one reason or another.” but in fact all people who might read these words or hear them, including those who ARE here now, but even those who are NOT here now, but who might be talked to by people who ARE here and who DO read these words.

In other words, all of y’all, including “former” members.

Posting, commenting and reading here is not a “binary” thing. Yes, some of us are here every day, but others come and go, and that is OK.

In fact, if you find yourself in some kind of situation where you feel you are in conflict or a state of anger with somebody else, or with the site in general, then I encourage you to TAKE A WALK AND CHILL OUT, rather than swearing some angry oath to never show up here again.

DePat was always adamant that PRIDE is the greatest sin, and I think she was totally right about that. PRIDE will sneak up on you when you are JUSTIFIED and whisper appeals to truth and righteousness, which may have some real and momentary merit, but PRIDE will take you too far, and leave you standing over nothing but thin air – alone and trapped by your own error.

If you feel that you have to walk away from this site to regain control of your emotions, then I absolutely encourage you to do so, but never let that decision become its own justification – that you have to demonstrate the virtue of that decision by walking away from the “jury of your peers” forever.

PRIDE is not a virtue. FORGIVENESS is a command. LOVE is, too. And TIME makes this all possible.

Just think about it.

DePat never forgot the fundamentals, and I’m here to make sure she keeps bugging you about them!

Have a great week!

Dear KMAG: 20250127 Trump Won Three Times ❀ Open Topic

This is our President.

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.

This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – 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/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

Yet have fun,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!

We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:

Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:

“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:

Our beloved country is still under Occupation by hostile forces, but we are evicting those forces!

Daily outrage and epic phuckery still abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win, long after we got His Fraudulency out of our White House.

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

damoiseau

noun

  • male form of damsel
  • a young man not yet dubbed a knight
  • a young gentleman who was not yet a knight but aspired to be one
  • a young nobleman accompanying his lord or lady to hunt, walk, travel, etc.
  • a young nobleman or squire

Used in a sentence

The word damoiseau appears to be related to the word mademoiselle.

MUSIC!

What kind of music do you get back when you search on “damoiseau”? Well, somewhere down the page you get one of cthulhu’s favorite bands – “Pample Moose” or whatever. So let’s just go with it!

THE STUFF

In honor of my former colleague, who was SEMPER FIDELIS in all matters of Q, it is my plan to make sure that certain touches of what she regarded as important are not forgotten.

Yup. And DOQ is not kidding! Seven year delta.

Yup. As was said on this board earlier today……

Trump world problems! Almost as bad as too much winning!

Susie Q is right. Something is going on here. And it’s good!

Remember Kary Mullis? Establishment popularization science remembers him, and while Veritasium keeps the expected diss of this gnarly dissident fairly gentle, their coverage fills in a lot of blanks, and is appreciated by this more lupine dissident. Don’t worry – you’ll still like Kary – maybe even a little more after watching this.

A toast to Kary! And today, we’ll skip the LSD, but maybe rum is appropriate.

Just sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW

DEAR MAGA: Open Thread 20250123 ❀ In Highest Honor of Susie Sampson, Known to MAGA as Deplorable Patriot

It is with extreme sadness that I announce news, brought to us by DePat’s loving and faithful friend, For God & Country (FG&C).

Rather than simply approving FG&C’s comment, I decided to make it a full post. I will add my own comments afterward.

Dear Qtree,

I profoundly regret and sorrowfully bring you the sad news of our dear friend Susie “Depat” Sampson’s unexpected and sudden passing.

Susie was a fierce, albeit petite, Gen X MAGA warrior and patriot who dearly loved our American Republic. Highly intelligent, insightful, articulate, loyal, kind, and sweet are just a few of the accurate adjectives which describe this truly amazing, deeply committed and Christ-focused Christian lady.

A dedicated animal lover and dog owner, she was an alto singer by profession, performing her craft in the theatre as well as in various parish churches in the St. Louis area. She was also a blogger, self-published author, and unapologetic conservative.

7-8 weeks ago Susie attended a choir rehearsal, during which she had stood right next to a fellow choir member who she learned afterwards had been Covid vax-boosted for the 4th time that day. Perhaps she mentioned at some point in these pages that in the time since that night she believed she had contracted “long Covid”, experiencing physical weakness, insomnia, a persistent cough, and low appetite. She believed she had inhaled “spike proteins” shedding from the woman she stood next to that night at rehearsal, stating that had she known the woman had been so recently vaxxed she would never have gotten so close to her.

Recently, she had stated she was feeling better, the cough all but gone, and in the past week felt she had gotten over the insomnia hump and was getting good rest. I was optimistic. However, on Monday AM….inauguration day….her brother discovered her in her bedroom, unresponsive, after becoming concerned he had not heard her moving about and she had not come downstairs. Paramedics were subsequently unable to resuscitate her, and it is currently believed she suffered a heart attack and passed away in her sleep. After many attempts to reach her (we texted daily), her brother called me this afternoon with the news. I knew you would want to know as well.

I am aware of how this news will hit the Qtree community, and how loved and appreciated she was here. She loved being a part of this group as much as she loved the MAGA movement and President Trump. In particular, she was a longtime fan and admirer of the impossibly great “Gail Combs”, of whom we often laughed over the thought she must be a “deep MAGA” AI. 😁

It was through this very forum that I got to know her, and in the years after leaving here grew close with her, and I visited her in St. Louis many times. On her behalf, with complete confidence she would approve of this message below, let me say a few words for her to each of you…

My dear friends and fellow Qtree patriots,
We did it! Going all the way back these now many years to the time when most (if not all) of us originally came together at Conservative Treehouse, and later here at Qtree after Wolf created this space for those of us daring to believe in Q-Anon and subsequently being exiled from CTH for doing so, we have stood the test of time and proved resolute and firm with one another in our belief in God, his providence, and our beloved Republic.
We, along with tens of millions of our fellow patriots, and God’s blessings, have successfully taken on the almost impossible power and reach of the corrupt and evil globalist deep state, and we have once again elected our lion, President Donald J Trump to a historic and almost unprecedented non-concurrent term. I am confident that Trump 2.0 will prove as day is to night in comparison to his first term!
It has been the honor of a lifetime to share in this struggle with all of you; to pass through the many trials, uncertainties, set-backs, and victories together. We never gave up, never gave in, and never wavered. We ran the good race! It has been an incredible journey which we have chronicled together on these pages over all these many years.
I know that each of you will continue the good and holy fight, and I will be watching and praying for you, your individual and collective success, and the reestablishment of our Republic as the founder’s envisioned and ordained by God.
Do not be afraid, and never fear. Our sovereign Lord and Almighty God is firmly in control, and all is unfolding according to his design!
This is not “good-bye”, this is only a “see you later!”, and while parting is sorrowful, the joy of our reunion in the presence of our mighty and loving King will so overwhelm the sadness as to render it entirely moot and inconsequential.
I love you all, carry each of you in my heart, and reluctantly take my leave from you with this…
“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”
See you on the other side!
Susie

I will begin by thanking For God & Country for this desperately needed but sad news, as well as for his wonderful message from DePat, which I will admit made me cry.

As I know for certain that DePat’s final wish for me would be to remove FG&C from moderation, I will do that immediately after publishing this. If we cannot all lay down our swords in DePat’s honor, then we have no business being here.

I will add more information about DePat’s last comments and posts in the comments.

Thank you ALL for being good friends of Susie, and for your concern as she battled recent health issues, and then as she vanished from the site.

To say DePat will be greatly missed is an almost appalling understatement. She was, if not the heart and soul of this site, at least a huge portion of it. Her influence on me was as profound as any teacher I ever had – and I had some great ones.

There will be a time that I will fully discuss my scientific opinion about what happened to Susie. I may say some things now, but I will definitely say more later. There are things that MUST be said.

Finally, let me add this. Susie was one of the greatest defenders of the Catholic Church that I have ever known. While I do not consider myself to be Catholic, she made me a great ally of “The Church” – as she called it. She remains, in my opinion, one of the greatest servants of The Lord that I have ever had the honor of knowing.

In God I trust – that Susie is now exactly where God wants her, and where she wants to be.

¡Vaya con Dios, amiga!

Trump-Vance Inaugural Celebration and Reporting Thread

a.k.a. “The T47 Thread”

Greetings, my fellow QTreepers!

Wolf here, getting ready (shortly after the Wolf Moon + Mars) to head to Washington, DC for the Trump-Vance 2025 Inauguration, otherwise known by the shorthand “T47 Inaugural” – or just T47 for short.

TL;DR- if you’re not in the mood to celebrate, then you need a dose of Patriot Realism, to get over your Battered Patriot Syndrome, which we are all suffering. Go check out TradeBait’s post HERE, and wake up to LIBERTY!

American Stories: When in the Course of human events – Part 3

OK – now the long version.

I had long told myself that I would be going to Trump’s second inauguration, as I had been to the first one in 2017, and really enjoyed it. With the stolen election of 2020, I ended up going to J6 instead of J20 in 2021, and – well – that was interesting, too.

When Trump managed to beat the cheat on 5 November 2024, I reconfirmed my commitment to attend the T47 inauguration. However, as the time approached, a combination of finicky health and iffy finances had me on the edge of saying “no mas!” Then, when I looked at hotel prices – roughly three times what I had paid in 2017 – I simply couldn’t afford it. I decided not to bother. I would watch the inauguration on TV with all of you, online at The Q Tree.

And it would have been great fun, too. But sitting it out was not to be.

As I began preparing future posts, in my usual “modified placeholder” manner, I wrote a very special and heartfelt post for the January 20th Inauguration Day open thread, as the 2025 Inauguration happens to fall on my usual Monday daily thread. You will see that special post on Monday.

The thing is, some friends of ours apparently saw that post, too. They let me know they were watching, much like they let Wheatie know, back in 2019. If you recall that incident…..

So yeah – that got my attention. All very deniable – but all very convincing.

A lot has changed since 2021, including the passing of Wheatie, whose final battle began late in 2021 and ended in spring of 2022. I think Wheatie was very disappointed to know that she would never see Trump’s second term. Realizing this, and knowing that our old friends from T45 were still keeping an eye on us, I began to change my mind about going to the Inauguration. Others were keeping the faith – why not me? Yes, I’m growing old and tired, but I’ve still got some sense of duty in me.

And then an invitation came. Not only was I invited – my wife was, too. Yeah, it wasn’t one of the gold-encrusted invitations to sit up on the balcony with all the important stiffs like Al Gore and Tim Walz, but it was still an official invitation, and it was made in the name of our once-again Commander In Chief.

That was it. I told my wife we were going. And when I looked at hotel prices again, some of them actually looked reasonable. With a little bit of shopping, it was going to happen.

So, as you read this, during the next few days, I may be preparing to depart for Washington, DC, am already on my way there, or am there as you read this. I will put this up as a sticky thread, so it’s easy for me to find, as well as others who may stumble upon the site. I am hoping to post journalistic updates from the inauguration. Yes, I’m putting my journalist cap on, which may or may not come in Dark MAGA!!!

This thread will be a place to post about all events connected to the T47 Inauguration – including the MAGA Rally on January 19, the Inauguration Festivities and Swearing-In on January 20, and the Inaugural Parade down Pennsylvania Avenue, shortly after the Swearing-In.

There is a great website connected to the Inauguration.

https://t47inaugural.com

I will go over some of the important information on the site, below. In the meanwhile, I simply want to give my best wishes to all you QTreepers, and to all our friends and allies out there.

Are you ready to Make America Great Again? I AM!

T47 Topic – Weather

Scratch all of the following section – the inauguration has WISELY been moved indoors.

I will keep the old text for historic interest, but you can skip ahead to the comments now.

W

Right now, things are looking VERY cold in DC for the inauguration. Part of me wonders whether this is an anti-Trump psy-op by Club Climate Change, but I have seen nothing to convince me that such a thing is happening.

I’m not sure if this incredibly cold inaugural weather should be classified as something like JUSTICE BEING A DISH BEST SERVED COLD, but in any case, I am expecting things to be frigid. Even Team Trump is advising weather sense.

Guest Attire

Please dress warmly and wear comfortable shoes. Washington D.C is expecting cold temperatures. Attendees will have limited access to heated tents on a first-come, first-served basis.

I have been to an inauguration before, when the weather was much better (40s and 50s, IIRC) than is currently expected this year (teens and 20s for Inauguration Day). Dressing appropriately makes the whole thing more enjoyable, I can assure you. Last time, as I layered down from a quality trench coat, I was dressed well enough to look good on TV, if I was interviewed by anybody (I think I did talk to a print journalist or political blogger of some kind, IIRC).

This time, for me, “stylish” will be SKIWEAR and basically outdoor winter fashion. In fact, I am advising all others who are going, to DRESS FOR THE SKI LIFTS.

North Face and Columbia – not Dior and Prada.

Why do I say that? Because people who have seats will be sitting for THREE TO SIX HOURS OR LONGER in temperatures in the upper teens to low 20s.

Cross-reference weather with logistics, and it’s time to get VERY REAL.

MALL GUIDANCE

People need to dress to be sitting comfortably in what are normally wind chill conditions on a ski lifts, where one cannot “walk around to warm up” or otherwise fight hypothermia.

Teens and twenties are January skiing conditions. Get real, people!

Last time, I was running, walking, and standing near the Washington Memorial, thanks to sabotage by the Obama administration, which forced as many people as they could off the main mall, back to the far side of the Washington Memorial, where they would not appear in aerial photos which begin at the Capitol Building.

It was a sneaky move, slow-walking admissions to the mall, while letting people in where they could not be seen. I would not put this past the Biden administration. Note what is being said about arrival times.

Guest Arrival Information

The security line to enter the National Mall will begin to form early. Driving/parking is strongly discouraged, please utilize the Washington Metro System (WMATA) to arrive/depart the mall.

U.S.S.S. guest screening will open at 6:00 AM. The inaugural program will start at 9:30 AM; the Swearing-In Ceremony will start at 11:00 AM. To guarantee a spot, please arrive no later than 9:00 AM.

There WILL be food and drink concessions (see below), but the bottom line is that some people will be on the site from 6 AM until 12:30 AM, after the swearing-in.

If the temperatures are actually that cold, it will be like being STUCK ON A SKI LIFT.

Dress warmly. Your goal is to be TOASTY WARM WHILE SITTING STILL.

Now – here is what the situation will actually look like, logistically.

There is seating in the first FIVE of the EIGHT mall blocks. There are also plenty of rest rooms, warming tents, food tents, and medical stations.

Once you’re in the mall, it’s basically like a Trump rally. But if you want to get a seat, you’ve got to get there early. And it will be EVEN COLDER at 6:00 AM on Monday, if the weather predictions are correct.

Thankfully, the MAGA RALLY on January 19 will have better weather, and will be indoors to boot. I view it as good preparation for Inauguration Day. Temperatures are predicted to drop all day, and are looking to be thirtyish by the rally time. There is also a high chance of precipitation, which is probably snow, but could be rain. I will be prepared for either one.

BOY SCOUT MOTTO – BE PREPARED

So – it’s time to get this thing scheduled. Talk to you later!!!
