Trump's announcement of the Kash Patel nomination had some very strong and definite language.

I am proud to announce that Kashyap “Kash” Patel will serve as the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Note, he did not say "I nominate him."

On the other hand:

The FBI director is appointed for a single 10-year term by the president of the United States and confirmed by the Senate.

So, if this is correct, Patel would still require a senate conformation...

However, there is a plot-twist here, unlike other 'cabinet' positions. The Head of the FBI is appointed for a 10-year period.

That raises an interesting situation. As CBS news tells it:

For Patel to take the post, Wray would have to voluntarily vacate the position or be fired by Trump if he is to be replaced before his term ends in 2027. One source previously told CBS News the Trump team was aware of the complexities involved in ousting Wray.

How Would an FBI Director under Trump 1.0 have to Behave?

If the above info from CBS news is accurate, then Wray would have to resign or be fired by Trump, because his 10-year term began in 2017.

This situation brings up a certain issue, unlike say, any of the other positions like Sec of State, or Sec of Def. etc - these positions are not appointed for any specific period of time, as far as I know. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong!)

This unique circumstances might well be an important reason why Wray,l if in fact a patriot, has had to appear as such a dastardly fellow, even though Q stated quite clearly "Trust Wray".

*Trump 2.0 is Different from Trump 1.0 and Necessarily Requires Different People with Different Talents.

We know DJT has been saying "I didn't know who to appoint in 2017", but that could easily be a cover story. Because if Military Intelligence actually asked DJT to run, then they had a clear plan, and they KNEW most of what who was DS and unreliable, and who wasn't.

Either way, we've seen how the Trump 2.0 lineup is VERY different from Trump 1.0 lineup. All new players (with a few exceptions). That's logical if the first administration was:

SETUP STAGE, i.e. playing hard against the Deep State but providing an example of how good the US under Trump could be, before the

HIATUS STAGE, where Biden is "in power" and the reality of what the DS and Cabal controlled Democrat Party want to do to America drives home the need for Trump to the wider majority of the American people.

Let's face it. Biden has been the biggest Red Pill dropper since Q. Moreover, Q targeted anons, but Biden's Red Pills have hit the broad midsection of normie America.

So, it makes sense that EVEN if Wray was a good guy deployment, a switch out would be appropriate for the next stage of the Operation. The HAMMER stage.

HAMMER STAGE would be where a real shredder, like Kash Patel, would come in to get the Real Job done.

BUT, how to get Wray out or the way?

One Possible Scenario where Wray is Indeed a Patriot

Taking "Trust Wray" at face value, i.e. that Wray is in fact a patriot, consider this.

ONE

Putting Wray in there at the FBI to accomplish certain things, during the first administration (watch, get all the data, map the layout of the Swamp in the FBI, but also act to get it under a level of control, then) the redpill Biden administration (Continue to hold the fort, while ALLOWING the FBI itself to red pill the US population through all sorts of Biden-like red pilling narratives. I.e. that the FBI is corrupt, and part of the Swamp system.

TWO

If DJT had tried to put things in order at the FBI when there was NOT the public support or mandate, could it have been done properly? If not, then what do you do? You get control of it, while allowing the rotten elements to expose themselves, both in terms of committing business as usual crimes (and gathering all the evidence on them while they do it), but holding it in place so expose the apparent corruption to the public.

In terms of waking up America, has Wray's FBI been a negative or a positive? A BIG positive. Like Biden himself.

THREE

Having Wray LOOK bad but having him actually steering the ship UNTIL the time for the HAMMER is ready, this allows DJT the leverage to either fire him or have good MAGA support to call him to resign.

So, considering that Head of FBI is a 10-year position, I do not think its reasonable to think that DJT just appointed Wray when Wray is a DS goon. That would frankly be gross incompetence, considering what is at stake.

Instead, appointing a patriot who could get things under control behind the scenes, to minimize deep state effectiveness in that arena, but then also allowing him to act (kayfabe) in ways that to a normie, conservative MAGA public look bad.

We've seen the FBI play along with lots of red-pilling this last 4 years, and that might well be all deliberate. Yet, even so, other functions, like arresting human traffickers, etc, appear to have ALSO been advancing. IF you've been watching the information war, you've noticed a dual sort of reality being reported.

On one hand, the FBI is "totally corrupt", doing all sorts of rat bastard things, and on the other hand, some core, critical functions like what you would expect a good FBI to do have also been reported.

Hmmmm....

Benefits of the Kayfabe Wray Model

Personally, I think Wray has been playing a role, and is not DS. If indeed Wray is a patriot, then the role he has been playing has specific benefits for us:

a) it has allowed Biden to keep him in place with the DS and DC swamp NOT calling for Wray's resignation (so he can continue the place-holder/controller position, limiting DS damage and having a leash on the FBI apparatus),

b) staying in the FBI, Wray could then oversee but still allows a certain element of rogues to do what they do in order to allow the public mandate for someone like Kash to be created, to expose to the Public the very real corruption that existed in the FBI for decades, even if in fact Wray got it on a leash...

c) potentially allow DJT to either fire or ask for his resignation with the support of the MAGA base. Non anons are going to be thinking that Wray is certain swampy and that "the entire FBI is corrupt". Heck, even some anons here believe this, but if you listen to Kash Patel, that's not his publicly avowed view. He says that the top is the problem, and the system, and that there are good people in the FBI.

There would be VERY real benefits to running the Head of FBI operation in this way over the past 7 years. Anons who do not at least consider these benefits are being foolish, and should hand in their anon ID card. This sort of thing would be RIGHT IN LINE with 5G warfare. Although Q never stated it, "Infiltration goes both ways."

If Wray looks like DS on the surface, then there are going to be a lot in the DS at least guessing if he's their guy or not.

Q & "Trust Wray"

Wray is mentioned in the Q drops 12 times. Q writes "Trust Wray" three times. Disinformation? Or a hint to anons to learn to look beyond the surface and really ask ourselves, what is going on here?

What does "Learn Our Comms" actually mean? If you are not at least considering that kayfabe might be happening, and that the Patriots might WANT the DS to think Wray is or could be their guy, then you are NOT thinking in the level that Q wanted serious anons to think on.

Q exposed a lot of people around the world to how intel operations work. They educated us, inspired us, and helped to 'train us'. Such that even after Q stopped posting "You have more than you know". We have a handbook for training ourselves to think like intel operatives.

And, its worth asking, even if you consider yourself anon, are you still actually subjecting yourself to the manipulations of Psyops (good or bad) by thinking with or reacting with a normie brain? What does it take to make a good intel operative? "Secret info"? (rhetorical question. No.)

Real effort is required to put the pieces together.

Example

"Oh, the FBI raided Mar-a-lago! See! Wray is a corrupt deep stater! Scumbag! I don't trust him!"

That's real normie-level thinking. But a serious anon has to consider other things, other than just appearances. I.e. that Trump was the one who announced the raid to the public, that Scavino foreshadowed it a few days prior, that the raid has actually BENEFITED Trump and Trump's campaign and ALSO helped to build a very strong public mandate for Trump 2.0 to actually bring a hammer to the entire FBI operation.

Because NOW, a large enough number of Americans have finally got through their skulls that the DS is corrupt, and that the FBI has been real poison for decades.

"I take all these slings and arrows for you". The Lawfare against Trump has only done bad things for the Deep State.

Who Is The Real Wray?

We might never know if Wray is a real patriot or not. Or, it might take decades to find out. However, to figure things out, we simply cannot reply on appearances. So we have to consider the Benefits, the Impact of actors and actions.

But if Donald Trump approached you and said "Look, I want you to put you in the FBI, and you'll have to walk a tightrope, a delicate line, so that the real (and murderous) Deep State isn't sure of what you are doing, of how little or how much they can control you and the FBI, for the next 7 years, until we can really Drop the Hammer on it once the people are on board."

"It will mean that you'll have to appear to be playing ball with some of the worst people who hate our country. The average American's may well think you are a piece of shit. But I need someone who can do this. Can you do it?"

What would you say?

A real patriot would have to consider "am I willing to sacrifice my reputation and legacy in order to help secure the future of the country?" This isn't a game. It's deadly, deadly serious.

The history of the Deep State Cabal in American politics is the ugliest part of humanity. It has destroyed so many lives, murdered, raped, and committed the worst possible crimes. Would you be willing to sacrifice your reputation and legacy to help bring an end to that? Would you?

Undercover cops live that way, and even then, they can only ever be thinking to help get a few bad guys, or maybe even one cartel.

This psywar, information and narrative war is playing for keeps, for the whole country. The whole world, really.

What Does it Mean to Be "Anon"?

We CANNOT afford to ignore the requirement of looking and thinking deeper about things, and we CANNOT afford to simply let our emotional reactions run like mad horses driven by the whims of propaganda, media and the appearance of good or bad. The emotions do not help here. Not for good intel operatives. Your emotions, if not carefully controlled, will get you killed, mentally, physically or intellectually.

One of the most important aspects of the Q operation was NOT finding the oooh, secret information or pointing out who we think is good or bad. It was getting us to apply intel community level thinking but as citizens, as digital soldiers. As I like to call it, a Civilian Intelligence Militia.

So, I reiterate, we cannot simply rely on appearances. We HAVE to consider the benefits, the losses, the impacts of actors and actions, and whether they benefit our side or theirs, or what. The real benefits, not the 'apparent' benefits.

In light of the unique nature of the 10-year appointment of any head of FBI, and the needs of both Trump 1.0 and Biden (redpill) 1.0, we must consider whether Q's emphasis to "Trust Wray" was in fact what it seems. A heads up to thinking anons to think outside the box, escape groupthink and reactive emotionally responses to what we would soon observe, and to trust that there is indeed a deeper, well-constructed plan. One that will require different forms of sacrifice.

These are just thoughts on the topic. I might be close to the truth, someway near the truth, or far from the truth. In zeroing n on the truth we benefit from listening to others, weighing out our own limitations and learning to apply the lessons Q tried to teach us. I look forward to any discussions that this post inspires.
