Thanks for the response. As I said, I am a fan of your contributions, U.

I don't know about geography and awareness; I'm not located in the US either.

I think that in information warfare, it's important, if not critical, to NOT take the approach of "who is trustworthy?" but RATHER "does this information have credibility?"

The former puts an emphasis and reliance on authority (even if it is trusted authority), whereas the latter places the emphasis on developing, building, and maintaining skills of discernment, capacity to analyse a variety of factors, and independence in thinking.

In turn, these two things (reliance on authority and development of skills and capacity) foster either 'other reliance and tendency to avoid responsibility' on one hand or 'self-reliance, a proactive attitude to taking and being responsible for what I do, choose to believe, and what impact I have' on the other.

That may be a lot to digest, but it speaks to the much larger issues of what kind of psychological mindset is actively fostered and exploited by the Cabal, and which played a big part in leading us to where we are today, vs. the kind of mindset and approach that is needed to extricate ourselves from that matrix and liberate us from the psychological thralldom they placed us in.

That said, there are a few points I want to emphasize here:

One, we've all made these kinds of mistakes. The longer you've been in the business of being anon, the more mistakes you've made and so the wiser (ideally) and more skilled you become. If you work at it. Been about 7 years + since I began seriously red-pilling, and I've been tracking Q since Around Dec 2017, so I think that counts. Through experience, my natural tendency to spot these things has been developed, For some, it's on the foundation of a lifetime of experience. Point is, we're all learning and it's by experience (mistakes and successes) that we actually learn. So welcome the mistakes!

Two, my rant was more about the response from the board than about your post itself. (See preceding point!) At some time or other, if you are trying to contribute, you're going to post a dud, or a bomb. But my rant aka lament was that a lot of the board looked at your post rather uncritically, didn't bother to vet it, process it, evaluate it, or dig. (not only my rant, there were a bunch of other comments to that effect, but anyway...). Point is, the real challenge I feel is how we (GAW) are acting as a collective. Sure, the collective is comprised of (and is more than the sum of) the individual board members, but even if as individuals we fumble sometimes, the collective is what in the end defines our overall direction.

Just clicking on something cos it sounds good, not really investing any effort to verify, evaluate, discern, that's not going to serve us as a whole. That was the issue that grates the cheese, so to speak.

Three, rather than developing a list of "trustworthy sites", develop a list, even a mental one, of things that should be red flags, or factors and things that should indicate care is to be taken, when engaging with information and sources of information.

Even "trustworthy" sources can make mistakes and can also be given bad info. Also, our intent should not be to have people "trust me" when I tell you about all this stuff I know (aka conspiracy theories, Q etc) but to inspire folks to learn to practice discernment and think for themselves. Thus, we have to do that ourselves if we are going to achieve that.

The factors I mentioned in my other post (here in case you missed it) are some simple great red flags that should give your pause. HOWEVER, as with any instrument, applying these takes practice, and there is no substitute for building up through practice skills and discernment. No substitute. Either you practice that stuff, and build your skills and discernment, or your don't.

Conclusion: thanks for the response. Keep on keeping on! So glad to have you here!!

So nice to see respectful exchanges in situations like this👌
