Analysis, leading to informed local action, is all we can do.

Been there, groaned at that.

But I also understand. I read the piece last night after seeing it in another thread. Then read it again this morning before errands, then this afternoon afterward.

And frankly, right now, I'm feeling sick and--for me--remarkably emotional about it all. There is anger. There is impatient confusion that things are still this way. There is weariness--how many nights back to October 28, 2017, losing sleep, following threads, trying to understand, digging to learn, gut reactions going "YES, THIS," and continually, repeatedly processing/downloading/releasing the vomitous sense of just how bad things are.

There is also the dim hope (should I? dare I?) that somewhere beyond my daily life, a fight for Light and Life is going on, and it's like no war ever before fought, and we are called to PRAY, and act in whatever ways seem open.

Or maybe it's like every war ever before fought, and the hacking and slashing and blowing up cities was just Shock and Awe Theater to distract from the real war: People of God, versus Powers and Principalities. Shock and Awe Theater for the cover of magazines and the nightly news cold open. Lucrative theater, that, and war debt even more so. A Constitutional Republic framed by Providence--in the crosshairs of the Adversary.

And all this is with, what, nearly SEVEN YEARS' worth of having followed Q since the very first drop on /pol/.

Also...reading Joe's piece, I have a sense of continuity that is newly, horribly welcome to me, here in the flotsam and jetsam of having suddenly, devastatingly lost the most perfect, beautiful, loved soul mate spouse of 25 years, not a month ago.

There is a sense of thanks-giving. I.e., that from the beginning I was at that place, that time, with the sometimes inexplicably mysterious/twisty life experiences God set up for me, to read, learn, discern, process what the Q team and anons were sharing. To try to share that with others. To support those who got it, and for those who didn't, try to find ways to challenge and extend their thinking. Even as I felt despair at how resistant to the message most were.

There is grotesque stinging loss, that the one person I could share all this with in real life, in the day to day, without holding back, editing, or concern about how I'd be received...is now so suddenly gone. That person would have devoured Joe's piece this week, and taken heart from it, and taught others about it.

All of this...from reading one Substack entry of one writer.

We tend to think of reading as this kinda neutral thing. You run your eyes over words on a page/screen. You take them in. You know something more than before. The harder you read, the more you learn.

But reading, like all language activity, is a gift of Logos. A transformative sacrament in one way...a spiritual challenge in another. That's real language activity, not the cheapened counterfeit type. The grunting of Big Ag food labs on the cereal box ingredients label. Pop music lyrics. Ad jingles. TDS shibboleths. Robot voices on the call tree, barring your access, herding you down pretermined cattleramps, counterfeit language.

And there are times that what one reads is so much bigger than one's entity, it just feels overwhelming. Even if one spends all of life trying to be more discerning, more informed, stretching to learn and grow, language as boot camp, pilgrimage, and holy war--------even so, there are things that are SO big, SO complex...it's...overwhelming.

This is one of them. I have always been in awe of the Q operation for daring to take on this shamanic/transformative role. And doing so, so effectively. And cheaply. (I think that's the real reason Q was reviled and propagandized against. All the MSM/deepstate trillions spend on mindf!ck...undone by a bunch of nobodies on a Mongolian basket weaving forum.)

So in closing, people who, as TaQo says right up above, inhabit "short attention span theatre"--people who read for dopamine hits--are simply not going to be able to follow certain topics. Yes indeed, it is very frustrating...though not unprecedented in the annals of Wisdom speaking to human ignorance. "Those who have ears, let them hear...."

And the Light shone in the darkness. And the darkness did not comprehend it.

God bless each and every one of you. Archangel Michael protect and deliver your warriors. Christ stretch forth your hand to shield Your People. Logos make us more courageous, effective, and skilled.
