Don't know why this has become a "verses" scenario.
I stumbled upon the Devolution Series when the third article was published. Like many, it was brought to my attention by this site (I think). I was amazed by how much it resonated with my own research. I never took the time to correlate the available information like Patel Patriot has done; very few have. To dismiss his research, resulting conclusions, thought provoking theories and subsequent rabbit holes opened... only because we have been in, from my point of view, a very obvious state of COG since 9/11 is limiting. Actually it goes back way further, but that is for another post.
17th SOG provides a great history lesson, less specific (so far) on current events of the everlasting and ongoing COG. I look forward to hearing more from 17th SOG. I actually think some collaboration with others could be possible if the people in our larger community give it a chance. There is no reason to pick sides because, we are on the same side.
I don't have the exact quote from Patrick Gunnels, but it was the reason why I listen to his readings of others' substacks at least once week, usually when I'm driving. Said butchered quote: "Whether we are in (Trump's Version) of Devolution or if it is the biggest head fake of all time (to the DS) for something much bigger, it doesn't matter. Something is obviously going on behind the scenes." I will never forget when he said that because that is when I signed up for Threadfest-1 in Nashville.
Trying to fit in a community like this is new for me, but please give me a pass, I've been down the rabbit hole since I watched the movie JFK in 1992. I have stubborn opinions, but an open mind.
This is the closest we (collectively) have been to unveiling the evil that permeates almost every facet of our society to the larger public, aka the "normies". Now is not the time for division. Together you (we) are strong. Sound familiar?
It is very effective. Imagine for a moment we have been in a state of war, whether kinetic, information or financial (or all three) since our revolution. The global power structure could not let a free country exist on the planet so they worked fast. They used our own (young; now old) educational institutions and freedom of the press (later radio and tv) against us. The substack series https://prussiagate.substack.com/ has a great analysis of this; and IMHO all of our current enemies permeates from a version of this.
