I would agree, you are not missing anything. But also, I am not going to answer your question underlying it. That determination is yours.

There are a couple of thoughts I would like to share, that are geared towards that determination:

The issue in this whole game of 5th generation warfare is not what you think you see, but who you are. There rest is window dressing.

The big question we all face is, that we can either surrender our own determination, or submit to the determination of someone else and echo what they say.

Think Llnux CLI command: echo "Flynn is suspicious".

But before you do, think of what the resultant will be on screen.

So, you saw that the Command line can only do something when

1. there is a command
2. that the command falls within the scope of the program [ pre-scription = code]
3. it is totally neutral as to what this subjected to that command

It is easy to see, that is not us, humans. Our sense of self is such that we question all three items listed above. 5th generation warfare is to reduce us to that level of kneejerk: programmed response = compliance.

The "autos" or "the self" is the key. When you read the gospel of John, autos is key too. I wrote a bit about it here: https://greatawakening.win/p/1ARwUixOqO/x/c/4eZCa15Oa0n

It is not about destroying Christianity as a religion. It is about severing the ligaments [ligare], the connection within you. Coonversely, it is not about saving Christianity, or even the USA as such. USA here, is a vessel, containing the seed of something else. Q called it: savior of mankind. In other posts Q says: "have faith in humanity".

Now link that to what I wrote about "autos", the self. Lose yourself, lose humanity. Humanity can only exist, life can only exist in freedom. The founders knew. My ancestors knew. Language development has obscured it. But think of it this way: Both in Germanic languages as well as Sanskriet, i.e. arijan root: FRI[j] means love, liberty, creation, protection, Frou (wife). you know the word: friend. It carries the same meaning as Frija (beloved), and Frije (liberty). An enemy, the opposite is: fiend or FEIND (German), vi-jand (Dutch) . Sankrit has the same thing: Prija <-> Pija. The missing R. The difference between life and death, slavery and freedom.

The objective of this war is not your mind alone, but to create a divorce within you; To divorce access to spirit, by flooding your mind and poisoning your body. The three need to be coherent.

This noise that is shot at us, blinds us, like in Venezuela, where the Radar (seeing; awareness) was blinded by the noise. Men were incapacitated by probably sonic weapons, which is noise.

So, to religare, to bind the ligament anew, to keep it intact, we need to trust the "autos", have faith in autos.

And to get there, we need to peel off layers upon layers of family and society programming and go to the point of connection to the "All". Many will call that God. But it is not external to us, it is internal.

We live in a time where on purpose this peeling off is interfered with by means of what is themed: 5th generation warfare.

When we say: these are times that try men's soul ..... then yeah, it is easy to doubt whether we see the whole picture, or that something we expect to happen, like Flynn being in Trump's administration, is a sign of something nefarious.

What then really is at play, is our "expectation", our will whipped up by want and desire, influenced by what the mind believes i.e. the convictions we hold.

As Krishnamurti once asked poignantly: Can you make an observation without judgement? If not, what is the basis of your judgement? Is it not want?
