Pardon me for mentioning what may already be looming in everyone's minds, but I haven't seen it discussed yet and thought I would throw a seed crystal into the supercooled medium of this page.
I am not a Q fanatic, so I take no arrows for being imprecise in my reference, but I seem to recall that Q placed a specific emphasis on how the "First Arrest" would have galvanizing significance.
In light of recent events, I would float the speculation that the First Arrest will be of President Trump.
It has some interesting explanatory power. First of all, if Trump is in a state of "devolved" authority, being arrested by an occupying foreign power is probably a "red line" that would finally trigger military countermeasures. Secondly, it would fit exactly well with the entire document scenario (a tar-baby trap with the documents as bait) and Trump's seemingly strange ebullience over the whole subject, as though he is itching for the trap to spring. The "trap" in this case being his arrest and getting the Deep State to cross the Rubicon that his Presidential Executive Orders anticipated.
There may be more along the same theme, but I think fellow anons can grab this bone and chew on it. Please do so. I would love to see if I am on the right beam.
I have thought about it, and arresting Trump doesn't seem to be it. That is a convoluted thing that most people wouldn't understand, or lead to an awakening. It has to be someone well known or it would not be a "mass pop awakening." It can't be a typical dirtball, like McCarthy or Turtle, because they are really not that well known. Even Podesta really isn't.
My vote is for Obama being arrested for being a pedo. Maybe Big Mike too for a two-for-one.
The "future direction" would be arresting pedos.
What else fits?
Trump is the most well-known person on this planet today (let alone this nation, and possibly excepting Vladimir Putin). To have him arrested as a former president would be unthinkable to most non-progressives, thus a shock and/or an awakening. He is not a dirtball, which is what would make it both shocking and awakening. Dirtballs are a bore; no one would notice anything about a dirtball.
I'm sure everyone here has been thinking (assuming) that the arrests would be of the Bad Guys by the Good Guys---hints of the Total Victory. Totally implausible. What Good Guys would be doing that? The FBI? (Hint: they are not Good Guys.) No, it has to be an arrest of a Good Guy by the Bad Guys. That will get everybody on the edge of their chairs as they listen to the evening TV news. How does this get resolved? The military is the only way.
Civil war? No chance. Lots of talk and bravado, but no leadership, no organization, no strategic goal, and no plan. We aren't even ready (or willing) to conduct riots. This is why we have to trust the plan: we are clueless regarding next steps.
