I'm requesting advice from the old-timers regarding topics on this board NOT promoted/mentioned by Q. I apologize for the long post but I think this is important for those who are in my same predicament regarding Q-research vs conspiracy theories that harm our noble goals.

I retired from a 60 hr/wk job at the beginning of 2020. COVID hit w/in a couple of weeks and I was pissed that a lot of my plans were ruined. I had a feeling COVID was a hoax so I started researching COVID specifically since I had a lot of free time. I heard mention of "Q" a couple of times in 2019 but had no idea what "Q" was. Fast forward to 2020 and I start running across videos on YouTube that mention Q. Ahhh..OK. I branched into watching a lot of those as well. I ended up getting red-pilled too quickly but after a few weeks I started thinking...some of these people in the videos are full of shit.

I shut off YouTube, quit going to all the kook sites, grabbed a notebook, and started reading all the Q-drops from #1-present day while researching the drops specifically and taking notes. Then it all clicked. I soon confirmed to myself that many of the people making those videos never read a damn thing Q said or grossly misinterpreted/embellished things. I could see the big picture overall. I did not need or care so much about proofs, dates, etc. If anything, the Q-drops presented themselves to me as one bad-ass study guide about why things are the way they are. Cool.

I could not use social media for the past twenty years. I was a cop and my former Sheriff had a team of snitches that would actually search out employees' Facebooks and social media and then discipline them for "inappropriate comments" or even "liking" someone else's comment that they deemed "inappropriate". (Remember that old Planet of the Apes meme that looked like Valerie Jarrett? My buddy ended up on the local news and was suspended for several months for clicking "like" on that meme b/c they said it was "racist".) I can't keep my mouth shut so I never participated in any forum or social media until very recently. I am thankful I stayed away from social media for most of my life b/c I soon realized how retarded and gullible many people can be. Especially the group-thinkers. I would seriously be dooming right now otherwise.

B/c I researched the Q-drops independently, my brain was not corrupted by everyone's "hopium", "doom", and other dumb shit. B/c of this, I have no doubt the Biden Admin will be short for this earth. I don't care about the timeline, Q pointed me in the right direction, I researched, I know Q will sometimes purposely give misinfo, and I feel Trump/Q made the right moves that will eventually make everything right. No problem there. I got the 40,000 foot view and I have felt I was months ahead of any news outlet to the point I cringed when they finally reported on something that many of us had known forever. (And I have only been researching Q for about a year now.) Yall get the point.

Here's my problem. I need some advice from the old-timers that have been around from the beginning or earlier:

B/c I looked at Q primarily through my own research and never actively participated in forums, chans, kun, etc., I was surprised to see a lot of people on this board talking about the same fantastical things that Q never ever mentions, or if Q mentions it at all, it is rather vague. Here are a few examples:

NESARA/GESARA: This crowd always goes on about the utopia to come. I have never seen Q mention it once. Q mentioned the gold standard coming back. Q hints at making the banking system less centralized and more fair. I never saw a single drop mention NES/GES. All those NES/GES sites either try to sell you gold & silver and/or have a New Age theme to them. My observations/pattern recognition. Am I missing something obvious?

The latest one I have seen popping back up with a vengeance around here is the CORPORATION OF THE UNITED STATES crowd. Almost 5,000 drops and I never heard Q mention this one time. Q mentions the Vatican / City of London / DC. Sure. But not "ADMIRALITY LAW" and "CONSTITUTION OF EIGHTEEN-SEVENTYwhatever". I ran across it a few times early on while researching other stuff. What I noticed is 5 different people/articles/vids will give you ten different explanations. I see Q constantly posting about restoring the Constitution but never about this stuff. These sites usually don't have the New Age themes as much but they still try to sell you some precious metals. Am I missing something obvious?

I have seen a lot of people claiming to be "Q-supporters/podcasters" talking about miracle medicinal cure-alls and regeneration machines. (When Trump gets back in we will have no more cancer on earth.) When the f*ck did Q mention this? Did I miss something? Q hinted that RBG might have been kept alive longer by medicines not available to the public. Q even mentioned (I believe) the possibility of eventually seeing alternative advanced forms of energy. Q even vaguely hinted at extra-terrestrial life but only because of the vastness of the universe. Nothing specific. However, I see a bunch of people falling for the Robert David Steele types. I like to keep an eye on some of these guys and I'll force myself to watch some of their videos. Amongst a lot of other BS, Steele once claimed that we are sending kids to Mars on a "twenty year ride" to work as off-planet slaves. Really? Come on. Don't even get me started on all those YouTubers/podcasters (including Steele) that constantly have inside info and "un-named sources". That shit pisses me off and I see people fall for it left and right. My friend sent me a Simon Parks vid recently and I instantly sent him back the "alien mother" vid with the reply: "Really. You believe this guy?"

For you long-time researchers (Q-researchers), am I way off here or are some people just gullible and/or filled on too much "hopium"? On one hand I feel my personal research benefited by not engaging much in forums/chans/social media. It certainly helped me not to fall into the "doomer crowd". I quickly realized that if lot of those "doomers" read even a fraction of Q's posts, they would be feeling pretty good right now. On the other hand, did I do myself a disservice by going out of my way to avoid the opinions of others?

Disclaimer In no way am I attacking this forum. There are a lot of really bright folks on here. It just seems that for every nugget of gold, I end up running across 10 pounds of sh*t. :) I'm all in on the plan. I just think it would help if more people actually read it.

Thoughts?
