I posted this as a reply in another thread, but now think it needs its own thread for discussion:
Something I've found out about this curious species we belong to, Homo sapiens, is that collectively we are not an entirely rational species. Individually we can hold thoughts in our minds, sometimes even contrasting thoughts, weight them, test them, and come to a near approximation of the truth.
But as a whole, the human species is largely irrational, lazy, and doesn't like to dwell much on details, background, context, and other such things in the thinking process.
No, we want to be told STORIES. It probably stems from the oral tradition of telling stories around campfires for most of our existence. A "narrative" that contains all the elements of what is being passed down. Humans respond to a narrative... a story. After all, if you watch carefully, all advertising is "telling you a story," either in pictures, or narration, or subtle subtext.
And it depends on which narrative -- which story -- you believe that guides your actions. The Left has their narrative about America, the Constitution, our racist past, the SCOTUS decisions... etc. It's a false narrative in my humble opinion.
We have our narratives too.... national pride, meritocracy, fair play, live by the rules...and it seems to have worked very well. That's why the Left hates our narrative, it is an affront to their false narrative.
So Q, in essence, told us a "story" ... a true story, peppered here and their with needed disinformation at times, but a story narrative that we needed to discover our own truth devoid of MSM lies and DS corruption.
And the narrative took root, and has evolved ever-so-slowly into this thing we now call The Great Awakening. That is what I have believed from since almost day 1 when I first got on board the Q Train, in November 2017, the month after Q started posting.
It does not bother me in the least that the Q posts came out in the form of a narrative, because they fit so well with things we already knew or suspected. The posts gave gravitas to what we were sensing and knew in our hearts. So like children sitting around a tribal campfire deep in the forest, we listened to these stories, the whole narrative, and out of it did some growing up and began to face some harsh truths.
And here we are today, looking back at the past few years and thinking, "Damn! What a ride!" And looking forward to the ride ahead.
I love this narrative... this story. It helped awaken me and so many others.
Psyop is short for psychological operation. In a sense, all stories are psyops. Look at Aesop's Fables and the lessons they intended to impart...tools for teaching, which in a sense is also a psychological operation. As such, I don't necessarily see psyop as a bad thing. IMO it's another thing that gets a bad rap because of the way it's been used as a tool for manipulating people rather than teaching them, and it seems to me that Q used a teaching approach.
Well stated. 👍
Thank you!
Exactly.
This is very reminiscent of one of my posts about a year ago called Q is Larp.
I think you are correct.
Q definitely IS a form of psychological warfare and live action role playing, but not in the way the doomers, shills, and trolls think.
The way the aforementioned groups use the term "psyop" and "larp" is in such a way as to debunk Q and drive attention away from the Q posts.
As I mentioned in my post, LARP and PSY-OP != Fake.
The conflation of these ideas is where trouble brews, and the glowies start shining.
By the way, if any anons haven't already watched this video: Check out the Ghosts in the Machine special forces PsyWar video.
Also read the SLAG substack article on the subject.
Really fascinating stuff.
Yep, I think it definitely is but not in a negative connotation.
^^^ THIS ^^^
A "psychological operation" by definition is the creation of beliefs in a population to drive an agenda. Q created beliefs of "a Cabal," "inalienable Rights," "we must actively work to save ourselves," and "We are all the Kings and Queens of our own life." Q taught me that Government is a partner to society, a helmsman, not an "authority."
My beliefs were changed because of Q. While not everyone shares those beliefs exactly, the general consensus is not too far off, and I think as time goes on they will become more and more aligned with those beliefs. That is the intentional creation of specific beliefs in a population, which is the definition of a psyop.
Q is undeniably a psyop.
The question is, which side is Q really on? My investigation suggests that almost everyone who we think was on one side, was actually controlled opposition, either knowingly or unwittingly. Every single war was run, both sides, by the Cabal at the very top. Psyops with controlled opposition are literally everywhere in our history, across the planet.
For as long as the lessons of this social effort continue to teach us about our own power, our Rights, that government is not a ruler, that we must be our own saviors, I will continue to think that Q is not controlled opposition, but genuinely on the side of We The People. If that changes, if Q (or Trump, or anyone) "saves" us, I will become immediately suspicious.
If it progresses organically, and we continue to learn those lessons of our own authority, even if Q or Trump is involved in leadership, I will continue to be supportive of their efforts. If that ever changes, I will do everything in my power to take them down. I will not trade one tyrant for another. These entities have the power to become that, and my research has shown similar things have happened for exactly that purpose in the past.
I am ever wary, but thankful no matter what, because for me, my life is enhanced beyond my imagination because of the lessons of Q.
^^^ THIS ^^^ You truly sound like you've arrived at a level of enlightenment that Q intended from the beginning. Never forget that it was sussed out early on that Q was not a single individual person, but rather a team of fewer than 10 people, some of whom were military. And we now know that the military has a special outfit devoted full-time to psy-ops.
So, yes, I think you are dead on. Nice going.
To paraphrase Lincoln, "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but fools will still find a way to be foolish."
Some of the downvoting on this site just boggles my mind. I've seen people downvoted for what appeared to me to be totally innocuous comments and I wonder what's up with that.
Heck, even this may get me downvoted.
WE are in a psywar. Q is a psyop to wake people up. They ARENT a deep state psyop.
Yes... which was sort of the intent of my original posting.
I will admit it could be a psyop. I wonder if it is a counter psyop to the one we have been living in for hundreds of years? Q has not harmed me or my life in anyway to this point. I wonder though if this is an attempt to get patriots to stand down when they should stand up?
Thanks for your post.
I think it was MOST DEFINITELY a counter-psy-op. We The People had been lulled into a narrative that was barely coherent, destructive to our nation and culture, and that we simply (without fully realizing it) simply wanted out of. It was sort of a "Stop the world, I want to get off" moment when Q appeared and suddenly we could all sense light at the end of a very long tunnel. So yes, I think you're absolutely right about that.
An absolutely critical part of any serious Plan to free mankind from subjugation is widespread Awakening of the population.
A simple idea but complex and difficult to accomplish.
Q posts have been BY FAR the most effective tool for waking people up and energizing them to research and to spread the Truth to an ever-larger group of Awakened individuals.
Q recruited millions of people around the world and encouraged them to work on those tasks appropriate to the citizenry in our current situation:
WAKING PEOPLE UP, digging for the Truth about our corrupt and Satanic overlords and their minions and spreading that Truth,
Working to fix our corrupt elections (so we can Free ourselves with minimal violence)
and more. At the same time, Q provided tips, suggestions, and information aimed at making us more effective such as bypassing censorship via memes, which also have deeper and more immediate impact than long text pieces.
Equally important, Q counseled against violence, because our heavily-armed local, county, state, and federal governments would react swiftly and harshly (look at what the feds have been doing to the non-violent J6 protesters; imagine how wide and cruel a net they would spread over us if we were trying to free ourselves violently).
Yes, we could take down some of the traitors -- but at the cost of bringing a long-running Afghanistan-like guerrilla war to America. That would get many millions killed, interned, tortured, and executed while also insuring even more iron-fist tactics in every Authoritarian structure in the country.
We are long-past 1776, when equally-well-armed Americans had the home-court advantage against Brits whose supply chain spanned the entire Atlantic ocean, crossed in wind-powered wooden ships. Those Brits had no satellite intel data, no air support from swooping A10 gunships, and no weapons not also widely available to the average American farmer or (as with cannon) not easily acquired by small groups of civilians.
We won, but even so it was a horrific war. Things would not go as well today; the situation is entirely different.
The Second Amendment remains critically important for many reasons (including, yes, as a last-resort defense against tyranny) but we have allowed the federal government in particular to become so much more powerful than the citizenry that even should we prevail against the Armed Forces, the Intelligence agencies, the many armed agents of EVERY federal agency, and the quisling corporate, media, and other Cabal-tainted centers of power -- the death and damage incurred would be incalculable.
Some of what must be done can only be done by those in places of power, including the military.
Q was an amazingly well-conceived tool for the task of freeing America and mankind, and has been skillfully implemented by those directly involved. Q has recruited, supported, educated, and empowered individuals across the world to participate in overthrowing a centuries old (and more) evil and potentially bringing in a new age of peace and brotherhood.
Anyone who believes Q is a Cabal-run psy-op is either not seeing clearly or was never interested in freeing humanity in the first place.
Edit: I'll probably use this comment as a post.
Excellent post, and congruent with my own thoughts. If your comment about "Q as a cabal-run psy-op" was directed at me, no, I don't believe that for a moment.
Otherwise, good analysis.
No, not directed at you. Your "Was Q a psy-op all along" post was very Q-positive and I like your idea about stories and narratives. Solid post, I thought, and I appreciate that it set me to writing THIS post. Sorry if I made it sound as if the comment was in opposition to what you had written.
No problems, sorry if I was a bit bristle-ish. Your response is actually right on, and I agree with your take. I have honestly had more civil, respectful conversations here on GAW than out there in the wild. People seem to have lost the ability, in our polarized culture, to carry on an actual conversation.
I started this thread because I wanted to synthesize a lot of things I have been thinking for quite some time now, and your response was a splendid adjunct to my original post. Thank you, patriot.
