I've always wondered about the promise in Q post 528:
YOU and YOUR FAMILIES are SAFE.
PROMISE.
Q
WHAT, exactly, does that mean?
I don't really have an answer to that question. I do, however, believe in the old adage that "the Lord helps those who help themselves."

I just finished watching the three-episode documentary Trainwreck: Woodstock '99 on Netflix, and recommend it. It's a fascinating (and somewhat terrifying) deep dive into crowd psychology and human nature.
The guy who organized the original Woodstock in 1969 also organized this one. His idealism seemed like mere naïveté to me. For example, he didn't want police or armed security guards, so he had a “peace patrol” composed of (way too few) completely untrained young guys who were armed with yellow T-shirts.
Even this idyllic utopian vale suffered from the Tragedy of the Commons, because nearly everyone just threw their trash on the ground like it was Somalia. The massive amount of trash that covered the ground reminded me of the signal that graffiti sends: “chaos reigns here.” It didn't take long for the 400,000 young people who showed up to figure out that there were no laws and they could pretty much get away with anything.
Ironically, inside the fence of an old Air Force base, a festival that was supposed to be about “peace, love and music” descended into a Hobbesian state of nature—where life is “poor, nasty, brutish and short”—within three days.
. . . But these are exactly the conditions that will prevail during a severe crisis, which is why it's crucial for you to get a glimpse of what true human nature looks like once the thin veneer of civilization is stripped away. Because you don't want to be psychologically unprepared for that, like the media and Woodstock production crew were.
On the second night, the crowd began to climb and dismantle the sound tower. It was fascinating to hear it described as like a horde of zombies scaling a castle wall—it looked just like that.
. . . many thousands of people proceeded to burn, rape, plunder and destroy.

We should do everything we can to reasonably prep.
I’ve always read it as more of a. “We’re lying to you to keep you from potentially doing something stupid. Before we’re ready.”
While it’s pleasant to think they had the general publics well being in mind. Realistically an undisclosed portion of the population was written off as collateral damage from the word go. You can’t save and protect everyone. Lord knows how many of the kids illegal traffickers have drug over the border are still alive.
But if you’ve spent a lifetime laying the groundwork to in your mind liberate humanity from a hated foe. The last thing you’d want is the heavily armed and ever paranoid American population going off half-cocked at the direction of some retard “influencer” online. Who at best is clout chasing and maybe LARPING as an insider. At worst is employed by the people your seeking to overthrow.
Especially as there is a small but growing portion of the Western population. Particularly among the youth. Including Americans growing increasingly critical of and even resentful of Republican and enlightenment ideals and values that undergird the United States and to a lesser extent Western Civilization. Because they seemed to have failed us at every step and even given our enemies the proverbial keys to undermine and destroy our civilization. While using those same principles and values as a shield to hide behind.
That and outright saying unaccountable Government and Military Number crunchers have written off the American publics friends, family, and loved ones as necessary and acceptable losses. Also Isn’t going to endear any incoming government to the people. Regardless of however necessary or unnecessary such casualties may have been.
Hence promises of safety. Or the very generic and non-commital promises in the Q posts on how awesome the future will be. They let the “influencers” fill in the details of their own choosing on just what those promises mean.
People are remarkably more inclined to suffer and bear burdens. If they believe the reward will justify their suffering and sacrifices. Like say a world and Government that works according to how they believe it should.
