“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.

Remember that our greatest gift to President Trump is PRAYER!
WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU!
And let us pray YET AGAIN for an end to the slaughter of the unborn, particularly when they have almost made it safe and sound into this world, and are being cruelly cut down just before birth by those who profit on their deaths.
Let us further pray that INFANTICIDE never again appears on this planet as an acceptable practice!
Finally, a word about the FEATURED IMAGE (the USS Ronald Reagan) and the name of the day (DISTRUST AND VERIFY BY SECRET METHODS MONDAY).
Here is an interesting fact of disinformation which again comes back to the entire PRINCIPLE of chaff – that chaff FEEDS the Occam’s razor of military machinery (the brains of the missile), by touching logic OUTSIDE ITS PROGRAMMING (the coolness of Occam intersecting with Turing in the region of Eckert’s Law is NOT TO BE DENIED, folks…)
ANY CHAFF SCENARIO PRESENTED TO A TRUSTING AUDIENCE WILL HAVE MORE APPARENT REALITY THAN A DISTRUSTFUL SCENARIO WHICH MORE CLOSELY ALIGNS WITH FACTS WITHHELD FROM THAT AUDIENCE.
This is simply how “magic” works. But now I want you to ask you WHO tells you this:
TRUST BUT VERIFY
I will tell you who tells you that. A magician who is so skilled in what they are doing, that they know exactly how you will verify, and have prepared for it.
I offer a new solution.
DISTRUST AND KEEP VERIFICATION METHODS HIDDEN
-Wolf Moon, The Q Tree
The implications for history – that we did not do this – or at least publicly went along with the opposite – are ASTOUNDING. To me, this is MASSIVE validation of my theory of Stefan Halper, and how he intersects two critical points in our nation’s history – the NIXON and REAGAN administrations. The fact that he and the forces behind him TOOK OUT NIXON but NOT REAGAN is one of the most fascinating chapters in geopolitics EVER. I do not have the complete set of answers about WHY things happened the way they did, but I can see that WHAT HAPPENED vis-a-vis the forces of the left and the countering strategies of both Nixon and Reagan opens up that entire portion of the game to a FRESH analysis.
That is the “mystery theme” of this series of Q drops. Based on my just-spouted maxim of “distrust and keep verification methods hidden”, I will only say that Q has massively confirmed:
PATRIOTS ARE IN CONTROL
Now – on to the drops.
I will publish this immediately and add drops after it is up.

How do you fix something that is known to be broken (corrupt)? Do you first need to remove those responsible? Think FBI/DOJ ‘exit’ list. How do you ‘restore’ the image (public faith) of our most prestigious ‘law enforcement’ institutions? Hold people accountable? Equal justice under the law? The battle begins (as seen today) w/ public opinion. The FIGHT to win PUBLIC FAVORABILITY. The FIGHT to control the NARRATIVE. How do D’s control the NARRATIVE? 1) FAKE NEWS MEDIA push of ‘by design’ narrative [daily updates – 4am] 2) FAKEWOOD echo of ‘by design’ narrative 3) SOCIAL MEDIA stream/promote of ‘by design’ narrative + censor/block/ban of challenger(s) of that narrative Do they provide evidence to support their conclusions? POTUS/RUSSIA narrative – evidence? None. POTUS racist narrative – evidence? None. POTUS …………(you can play this game all day long) ‘None’. What do they count on? How many experiments have been conducted by the C_A re: mind control? Psych 101: If you hear & see something over and over again by multiple (supposedly credible) news agencies, elected officials, actors/actresses, documentaries on TV, movies, internet, social media, foreign press etc. all pushing the same narrative/conclusions…….what happens? Do FACT-LESS claims become FACTS in the minds of many? Do they count on the fact that w/ work, family, stresses of life, etc. that the typical person does not have enough time in the day to research topics for themselves and therefore would believe narratives projected in the echo chamber w/o the need to provide facts or substance other than opinion? Why do they try so hard to keep you DIVIDED by race, gender, class, ……? Notice an increase in this push over the past 2-years? Are you stronger together/UNITED or DIVIDED? If you dare to challenge their narrative are you cast out [banned] by society as a threat/conspiracy theorist etc..? Are you cast out by members of your own family? ‘DIVIDED’ ‘Group-Think’ THEY DO NOT WANT YOU TO THINK FOR YOURSELF. A FREE-THINKING ‘LOGICAL’ PERSON WHO DRAWS CONCLUSIONS BASED ON FACTS ARE, PUT SIMPLY, A THREAT TO THEIR CONTROL/POWER GRIP. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS CONTROL [I.E. POWER]. WITH CONTROL COMES PERSONAL GAIN. They want to keep you poor and in need of government assistance. Bigger the gov’t, the more CONTROL they have, the more POWER they possess. When you are in need, you are weak. When you are weak, you are not strong. When you are not strong, you do not FIGHT BACK. This is as real as it gets. They never thought she would lose. Why? See above re: Control. Transparency is the only way forward. Transparency is the only way to PROVE TO THE PUBLIC that everything SOLD TO YOU as TRUTH was nothing but a FAKE NARRATIVE DESIGNED TO KEEP, YOU, THE PEOPLE, POWERLESS, AND KEEP THEM, IN CONTROL [I.E. IN POWER]. FAKE NEWS’ [propaganda arm of the Democrat machine] sole responsibility is to prevent the TRUTH from ever being disseminated to the masses. Mass Infiltration (everywhere). Transparency is the only way forward re: public opinion. Prosecution is the only way forward re: save & defend the rule of law. Prosecution and Transparency is the only way to save our way of life. Q

The media no longer represents the will of the people. Think for yourself. Research for yourself. Trust yourself. Sheep no more. Q

This special STILL SINGING FROM THE STATE OF THE UNION SUNDAY

they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA world.
Say what you want, comment on what other people said,
comment on people’s comments.
Keep it civil. Treehouse rules, but expect lots of QAnon.
Remember – your greatest gift to President Trump is FIVE WORDS: I AM PRAYING FOR YOU
“We must choose whether we are defined by our differences —
or whether we dare to transcend them.
We must choose whether we will squander our inheritance —
or whether we will proudly declare that we are Americans.
We do the incredible. We defy the impossible. We conquer the unknown.
This is the time to re-ignite the American imagination.
This is the time to search for the tallest summit,
and set our sights on the brightest star.
This is the time to rekindle the bonds of love and loyalty and memory
that link us together as citizens, as neighbors, as patriots.
This is our future — our fate — and our choice to make. I am asking you to choose greatness.
No matter the trials we face, no matter the challenges to come,
we must go forward together.
We must keep America first in our hearts.
We must keep freedom alive in our souls.
And we must always keep faith in America’s destiny —
that one Nation, under God,
must be the hope and the promise and the light and the glory
among all the nations of the world!
Thank you. God Bless You,
God Bless America, and good night!”
— President Donald J. Trump, 2019 State of the Union Address

WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU!
AND YES. Not only should we continue to pray for our President, who is of course a fellow believer, as well as for our nation, and for our world, but let me suggest praying that our resident non-believer, SteveInCO, finds his way back here soon! Surely I’m not the only person who misses him!
Finally, let us pray YET AGAIN for an end to the slaughter of the unborn, particularly when they have almost made it safe and sound into this world, and are being cruelly cut down just before birth by those who profit on their deaths.
Let us further pray that INFANTICIDE never again appears on this planet as an acceptable practice!
On the subject of Steve’s choice to move on, I will simply say the following.
I respect his wishes. Having once been something of an atheist myself (albeit corrupted at an early age by a religious caregiver), I can appreciate his quandary. Moving among communities on the internet is a normal part of life, and we have to make choices about where we spend our time. I have left other communities for here, and I can envision having to leave here, too, although rather unlikely at the moment.
Steve is welcome to return here in the future, if he wishes, but no matter what, I will wish him well on his travels, and hope we meet again, if not here, then elsewhere on the internet.

This special GAB MOON A-RISIN’ MONDAY Open Thread is VERY OPEN.
As the battle to restore FREE SPEECH prepares to go on offense with Gab’s coming COMMENT BROWSER EXTENSION, we bring our readers one of the most interesting Q “decodes” yet.
I don’t necessarily agree with it, but it leads somewhere EXTREMELY INTERESTING.
Observe:
(1) The Q decode is the idea that “the watch” is JUDICIAL WATCH.
Oh, yeah, that would be THIS WATCH. If somebody can SEE a solid link from this watch with a time of about 3:15 to JUDICIAL WATCH, then please SAY something.
(2) Is “Judicial Watch” “the Watch”? If so, then what have we here?
JW released State Dept records showing the Clinton-linked Podesta Group run by Tony Podesta (brother of John Podesta who was a WH Counselor & then was Clinton's 2016 campaign chair) worked for a pro-Russian Ukrainian political group (the Party of Regions). https://t.co/xOmlODhCDt
(3) WAIT A SECOND – so Cankles’ closest buddy PODESTA is connected to a PRO-RUSSIAN outfit in UKRAINE? Very interesting that Cankles helped set up an allegedly anti-Russian coup in Ukraine, but then snuggles up to the OTHER SIDE.
Remember when I theorized that Podesta ALLOWED / ASKED / GOT the Russians to hack his email account to help set up Trump?
Well, it sure would be convenient if there was a clear, NSA-free path to request that help, would it not?
(4) Was Ukraine going to be Hillary’s “intentional losing war” to scuttle the US military? German bases closing first? Hmmmm…..
Very interesting, given that we were WARNED that a UKRAINE/RUSSIA SPLIT was considered by Communists to be the CLASSIC Kremlin ploy to suck America into the perpetually warned-against LAND WAR IN ASIA.

This special EAGERLY AWAITING SPRING SUNDAY 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.
Say what you want, comment on what other people said, comment on people’s comments. Keep it civil. Treehouse rules, but expect lots of QAnon.
Remember – your greatest gift to President Trump is FIVE WORDS:
“But a shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse, and from his roots a bud shall blossom.
The spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him:a spirit of wisdom and of understanding,A spirit of counsel and of strength,a spirit of knowledge and of fear of the Lord,and his delight shall be the fear of the Lord.
Not by appearance shall he judge,nor by hearsay shall he decide, But he shall judge the poor with justice,and decide fairly for the land’s afflicted.
He shall strike the ruthless with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked.
Justice shall be the band around his waist,and faithfulness a belt upon his hips.
Then the wolf shall be a guest of the lamb,and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat;The calf and the young lion shall browse together,with a little child to guide them. The cow and the bear shall graze,together their young shall lie down;the lion shall eat hay like the ox.The baby shall play by the viper’s den,and the child lay his hand on the adder’s lair.
They shall not harm or destroy on all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be filled with knowledge of the Lord, as water covers the sea.”
For today’s header photo, SPRING was the keyword for my search. When the results popped up, I found this little guy staring curiously at me.
I like how the Wolfmoon is centered within this bold creature as he stands perched between such vibrant blossoms. Much like we, the Q Treepers and other Patriots, are discovering that we have do a HUGE and VIBRANT spirit, often hidden deeply within our simple and somewhat ordinary lives.
This header sings to me, saying, “LIFE WILL FIND A WAY!”
Yes, that’s the REAL one. The image I used for this post up top is actually a FAKE Trump tweet that I made to harass Trump’s enemies back when “covfefe” was more of a thing, and we took “Pepe pride” in “covfefe”, turning an “MSM negative” into a “MAGA positive”.
“covfefe” = “deplorable”
And YES – there are such things as FAKE TRUMP TWEET GENERATORS! What a remarkable world we live in! 😀
As you may recall, Trump’s “covfefe” tweet generated a FIRESTORM of light mockery and faux bewilderment by the MSM. It even generated legislation to preserve Trump’s tweets, called the “COVFEFE Act”.
First, a permanent picture, saved for posterity (old NYT images go away).
Here is the actual link, which is expanded automatically to include a picture and a Times header by the “New York Times plugin” in WordPress:
I was REMINDED of the whole “covfefe” debacle when I saw the first two tweets of THIS AMAZING THREAD by a MAGA Twitter denizen who I call “Burn Notice Guy”:
Burn Notice Guy’s Twitter thread goes on to do two major things:
To counsel people to STOP thinking that “nothing” is going on in terms of Trump draining the swamp
To accept the idea that we need to STOP waiting for the MSM media to “confirm” things – that WE confirm things
Now – I was absolutely thrilled to see this, because the author (@BurnedSpy34) had inadvertently proven the second point even more than they realized, because I had information he/she did not:
Trump had CHALLENGED the MSM to SOLVE the “covfefe” mystery
The MSM had NEVER offered or confirmed a true “covfefe” solution
I had actually SOLVED the “covfefe” mystery, to my satisfaction
This was a PERFECT EXAMPLE of @BurnedSpy34’s proposition
We don’t NEED the FAKE NEWS MEDIA to knows the TRUTH
Allow me to explain.
Let’s begin with a simple question.
Was “covfefe” Trump’s fault?
In a sane world, that would be one of the very first questions asked. In fact, if somebody who was a NOBODY – who was not DONALD J. TRUMP – sent you such a text, it might look like this:
Weather channel says below freezing tonight. I’m going to covfefe
Based on CONTEXT, we would immediately think that the last word was cover, and that SOMETHING MESSED UP. Because SO MUCH is missing – again by CONTEXT – we would begin to EXONERATE the person.
Something happened to the rest of the tweet. Why the heck is “fefe” there?
In particular, if the person tweeting had NEVER IN OUR MEMORY sent such a garbled text, we would tend to rule out a “butt dial”, “sloppy tweeting”, “sleepy tweeting”, and other “MSM-versus-Trump” reasons, and simply suspect a BUG.
At this point, “covfefe” becomes an I.T. problem. The kind of thing that HELP DESK solves.
YEAH. I may know a bit about that. 😉
Help Desk sometimes figures out that the USER did something to create the bug, but much of the time it’s very innocent, such as copying and pasting, finding some WEIRD SETTING that messes things up, or basically activating some BUG in the software by doing something NOT EXPECTED by the people who wrote the code.
In other words, it’s usually not REALLY the person’s FAULT.
Now HERE is where I begin to analyze the mainstream “Fake News” media’s “user actions”.
“The media” should have figured out that Trump’s tweet was MOST LIKELY the result of a TWITTER BUG, and they should have figured it out almost immediately. But they DIDN’T. Either that, or they PRETENDED NOT TO KNOW.
The latter being the MAMET PRINCIPLE.
If any reporter had taken that Trump tweet DOWN IN THE BASEMENT to their own I.T. people, and asked them what was going on, they would have gotten an answer very similar to mine.
“It’s probably some bug in Twitter.”
So what does THAT mean?
It means that the MEDIA either never honestly asked the question, or never ADMITTED that they did.
So what actually WAS going on with “covfefe”?
Well, I had always figured that Trump’s tweet got “cut off” in the middle of the contextually expected word “coverage”. That seems simple and logical – right?
But the “fefe” stuff – how in the heck does THAT get there? Looks like JUNK that could have been the work of a HUMAN or a MACHINE.
If it’s a human, maybe a “butt dial” – maybe tweeting half asleep – maybe stopping half-way into a tweet, hitting a bunch of wrong keys, and hitting “send”.
Folks, those human reasons are like CATNIP to the Fake News media losers and haters.
That’s it! They’re DONE! TRUMP’S FAULT!
LMAO!!! 😀
FAKE NEWS is clearly going to gravitate toward the possibilities that are most negative for TRUMP.
But what was it REALLY???
For a LONG TIME I just sat on it, wondering WHAT THE FUCK was “fefe”?
I was STUMPED.
It wasn’t until I was looking at a UNICODE table and noticed something that ALMOST looked like “FEFE” that it hit me:
WHERE’S FEFE? FEFE is not there for a REASON. FFFF is not there for a REASON.
Unicode was a very cool general idea of ENCODING every human character with a system of “bits and bytes”. I can oversimplify things and say that ASCII was the idea of using ONE “byte”, and Unicode was the idea of using TWO “bytes” to expand things, but this will immediately cause I.T. people to argue vehemently with each other about trivia, so I will now say that what I said was wrong, so that the tone of all objections will be more constructive (just wait for the comments, folks – we have GREAT I.T. people on this site).
That said, let’s dig in just a bit more.
What I am showing above is a CORNER of a Unicode table showing characters, up in a high spot where the digits are all very high – up in the letters near “E” and “F”.
E and F are hexadecimal (base-16) digits, which stand for 14 and 15, respectively. The 16 different hexadecimal (or “hex”) digits are 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F. An 8-digit binary (base-2) number runs from 0 (00000000) to 255 (11111111), but if you use base-16, those can be stated as 00 to FF. Thus, a two-byte number can run from 0000 to FFFF.
Are you starting to feel like “FEFE” might be the end result of some kind of COMPUTER BUG?
Well, buckle up. It gets better. There are MANY kinds of Unicode, and trying to transform text BETWEEN them can lead to GARBLING and JUNK. And when Unicode gets dumped as ASCII by a BUG or PROBLEM, one frequently sees a mixture of hex digits, typically in groups of 2 or 4.
Spend enough time around Unicode characters of various kinds, which are expressed as things like A0C1, or uA0C1, or \uA0C1, or U+A0C1, or their lower-case variants like u+a0c1, and any group of 4 hex digits between 0 and F looks like Unicode.
Enjoy the coincidence. God is in control.
If you look in the lower right corner of the above code page, there IS no “FEFE”, but there IS “FEFF”, and as you can see, it’s SPECIAL. The acronym ZWNBSP, shown instead of a character, stands for “zero-width no-break space”.
In addition to being a special kind of somewhat invisible space, this character is also listed as something called a “byte order mark“, or BOM.
The reason that it’s called a byte order mark, is that FEFF is really TWO bytes, FE+FF. They have an implied order – FE first and FF second. This is useful, because the reverse combination, FF+ FE, or FFFE, is NOT a valid character.
Notice also that FFFF is not a valid character, either. Neither is FEFE. Again, important.
Since FFFE is not a valid character when read from “left to right”, it can be used as a way to tell that you’re supposed to be reading “backwards” – from “right to left”. (Semaj Yemoc!) This means that if one encounters the FFFE character, it’s really just FEFF in what is called a “little endian” version of Unicode – the “other” byte order from “big endian”.
Now – this gets into a huge, deep, and very cool concept called endianness, which is well-described on Wikipedia.
Endianness is the sequential order in which bytes are arranged into larger numerical values when stored in memory or when transmitted over digital links. Endianness is of interest in computer science because two conflicting and incompatible formats are in common use: words may be represented in big-endian or little-endian format, depending on whether bits or bytes or other components are ordered from the big end (most significant bit) or the little end (least significant bit).
That said, unless you are an I.T. geek who is chomping at the bit to ARGUE with Wikipedia (like I said, folks) you will likely not “get it”, so let me provide an analogy using normal decimal digits.
Little endian – meaning “little end first” – is a lot like writing “one thousand” as 0001 instead of 1000, or more analogously, writing 10 as 01, or most analogously of all (“byte order”, if bytes were decimal), writing 9899 as 9998.
In the BOM encoding table below, showing the Byte Order Mark in DIFFERENT versions of Unicode (yes, Unicode is a MESS), BE means “big endian” and LE means “little endian”.
See all those FF and FE bytes? Yeah. Plenty of potential opportunities for a software bug to spit out “fefe” as ASCII if things mess up. Particularly since “FFFF” is not a valid character, either, so a bug that REMOVES “ffff” (remember – it’s “not a character”) and leaves “fefe” behind does not seem far-fetched.
FEFF + FFFE – FFFF = FEFE
See what I’m saying? Just ONE of an infinite number of possible theories of where FEFE came from.
And THEN there is the fact that people make assumptions about WHERE the Byte Order Mark will be encountered – as in NOT in the middle of text – and you know what happens when people write code and make assumptions…..
If you’re not convinced that the BOM offers MANY possibilities for a text bug, just read THESE TWO WEB PAGES. They will convince you.
Bottom line – I think it’s extremely plausible if not extremely LIKELY that some kind of user behavior (in combination with a Twitter BUG) – possibly happening between Twitter, Trump, Q and any tweet-releasing software that Q uses – led to Trump’s tweet being garbled and cut off, with FEFE in lower case popping out accidentally as ASCII.
The COMPUTER signed its human-misdirected WORK with “covfefe”.
“covfefe” is therefore Computerese for “learn to code”.
The thing is, I figured this out LAST YEAR, and tried to tell people, but NOBODY knows about it. Frankly, NOBODY CARES.
The Fake News Media’s “shiny object” of “Trump fucked up“, and the MAGA world’s internal delusions of “Trump signals the truth about Chinese steel with CoVFeFe” (or whatever) both have real staying power.
Nobody actually CARES about a software bug! Only the frigging HELP DESK cares! LOL.
Life imitates life!
Here is a Twitter thread, over a YEAR after Trump’s tweet, where I first told fellow Treeper/Tweeter @MyManJimmyJack that I had figured out “covfefe” that very morning:
OMG, JJ – this is a great day in wolfdom. I figured out covfefe. But I'm not the first. Somebody on Team Trump did, and Trump knew in an hour – that's when the taunt came! He's having so much fun! I'm betting jack knows, too. Think FFFE FEFF FFFF FEFE WTF UTF BOM #Covfefe#MAGApic.twitter.com/LRYYwfb7sE
I believe that Trump and Q (who very obviously handles Trump’s Twitter account) quickly figured it out, and challenged the world to figure it out, too. And yet, the MSM – which COULD have explained it – never did.
So when I figured out what probably happened, which was indeed NOT HARD, and could have been done by the IT staff at ANY news organization – I suddenly realized just how BAD the MSM, a.k.a. “yellow stream journalism”, has become.
They don’t CARE about the truth.
I repeat.
They don’t CARE about the truth.
Which brings me back to BURN NOTICE GUY.
Burn Notice Guy is a guy (maybe) on Twitter who is automatically linked to Real Burn Notice Guy – some actor I can’t remember – who is automatically linked to some character on “Burn Notice” played by Bruce Campbell, who is AWESOME!
And who was even MOAR AWESOME in a cancelled show called “The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.“, back when I watched a special form of propaganda called Fake Entertainment.
Turquoise and silver jewelry! Hooray!
ANYWAY, back to that awesome thread by Burn Notice Guy. He starts off with the idea of Trump’s Twitter mastery, as exemplified by how Trump weaponized “covfefe”, but then BNG hits on some brilliant ideas – particularly around Tweets 10-13, and then running to the end.
Please read the whole thing. This really explains some important stuff.
You can pass this on to other people using links to any of the tweets, or by using the link to the threadreader app:
Hola you can read it here: Thread by @BurnedSpy34: "1. THREAD – Is anything really happening? For those following US and world politics, it must bed that we are in […]" #GreatAwakening#GreatTakeDownhttps://t.co/BuB6gYTTRl Share this if you think it's interesting. 🤖
Maybe I’m RIGHT. Maybe I’m WRONG. That’s not important. What is important is that I actually TRIED.
It’s simple. The MSM is BEYOND missing in action. They no longer define reality. WE DEFINE REALITY. We don’t NEED the MSM.
Or as others put it, back when Cernovich knocked Scott Pelley on his heels, during an interview that was supposed to take down Cernovich, and instead elevated him….
Think what you want of Cernovich, but the point is, the MSM will NEVER be put back together again. It’s frigging HUMPTY-DUMPTY.
And there is a good reason for that. In my opinion.
THE MSM WAS ALWAYS “FAKE”. THE MSM WAS NEVER “REAL”.
Are you seeing what I’m saying there? This is actually a bit “scary”.
I am ALLEGING that the modern “objective”, “balanced”, “unbiased” (and primarily televised) media after FDR and then World War II was a CALCULATED LIE.
It was NEVER REAL. The biased journalism of the 1700s, 1800s, and early 1900s is the REALITY of journalism. It was POPULAR media that had VIEWPOINTS. It SOUGHT THE TRUTH through continuous CONFLICT.
The “objective, balanced, unbiased news” was a LIE. The Fake News, at its conception, was no longer a popular medium. It was FAKE ALL ALONG.
