Fren, perhaps like you, I've journeyed across the Great Awakening landscape for 6+ years now. Been there, done that. Been a noob, reposted and promoted fake news when I got excited, until I learned to keep a rein on my horses and now I raise a very skeptical and hard-nosed eye (huh?) to information that comes across my screen.

I can very highly recommend tuning in to Devolution Power Hour with Jon Harold. Both the Saturday version and the Wednesday night versions are excellent, although Wednesday is my favorite and go-to podcast every week.

JH was known as Patel Patriot, a moniker he chose in honor of Kash Patel, but which he now regrets, as it looks like Kash is salty about being associated with the devolution series (Harold may have tipped too many beans).

PP is the one who mainstreamed the devolution concept, originally inspired by Thomas Wictor I think. sadly, a lot of Jon's work has been co-opted and stolen by the shameless self-promoter Derek Johnson (meaning he puts forth a lot of PP's research as Derek's own work), who also shamelessly promotes sensationalist interpretations of devolution-related content.

The cool thing is, PP developed his devolution series all based on open source intel and available documentation - Zero "inside information" - all hard researched, detailed, documented, argued logically and without failing to recognize speculation when it is merely speculation. But also, he developed the devolution series all before even knowing much about or tuning in to Q. He was not "a Q guy". He just looked at what Trump was doing (around and after Nov 2020, and then tried to figure it out by researching into Trumps EOs, other available documentation and evidence.

In my experienced opinion, he brings a much needed grounded approach (i.e. based + evidenced + critical thinking approach) to the whole question of where the heck we are now, how on earth Trump could walk away from the White House while knowing that the election was "stollen" and rigged, etc.

Some light reading is great, but tuning into the DPH podcasts will surely suit your palate.

The best thing I like about the DPH is the approach to the evidence and news, even beyond the facts. The approach has really influenced how I filter my news and understandings. Highly recommended.
