I asked a question in today's General Chat earlier, and bubble_bursts recommended I make that question and his answer into its own post, so here we go.
(first, my original question)
Forgive me, but I need to be reminded of one of the basics of this movement.
A common criticism I hear from haters is "He calls himself Q Clearance Patriot, or Q for short. Q clearance is a clearance level within the Department of Energy. What does THAT have to do with anything?"
And I've never been able to shake that question. It's a good point.
If this is a military op, why the Department of Energy?
I know there's an answer for this. I just need to be reminded what it is.
(and now the answer, courtesy of u/bubble_bursts)
Uranium One was what started all this. (Read the full board of the day of the first q drop for me details)
That is the origin of Q and that's where we are headed to disclosure in Iran. Full circle
Q drop 48 was also linked by someone in response to my question, and it looks important:
u/Revodude - I knew you would respond on this one. I'll chime in myself as one of the few on this board that has actually had a Q clearance. BTW - good explanations - my follow-up is for the many members on this site that have never served in the military or any agency that required clearances, and have no idea how this works.
I'm using DoD instead of DoW throughout because it was DoD when I was active USAF and when I was NRC.
First - Q and Top Secret are the same basic level. The last clearance I got (a Q clearance for the DoE as an NRC Cyber Inspector) was actually granted through the DoD clearance process as a Top Secret with SSBI. Once I was granted the TS, the DoE (under reciprocity) granted me my Q and I could finally go to work. DoD's clearance process is much faster, much more organized, and has a very long track record of granting clearances and doing background investigations using their old SF-86 forms and their eQIP online process (I've used both in my USAF career and as a civilian). DoE takes advantage of that - as they should.
Second - there are a fair amount of military members that require a Q clearance for their jobs. I'm not going to go beyond reminding everyone that the military has nuclear subs (and other vehicles like carriers), and nuclear weapons, and someone has to maintain them and keep them safe, and other more obscure jobs. I'm sure we nave former Navy members and possibly former Air Force members on here that can easily confirm that.
The only thing that bothers me about the whole Q thing is how so many people - after all these years - still think a Q clearance is some magical clearance that allows someone to see anything they want, at any time - no matter the security level. It's BS. You still require the need to know, the authorization, and the SF-312 NDA for that info. That is not even going into special projects (SAPs) - some of which have a dozen or less people who actually know the full picture.
Example - you have a TS, you work on imaging for spy planes. That doesn't mean you can go to a nuclear base and get information on which parts are needed to detonate a nuclear missile. Even if you had a Q, unless you work on that project you will never get to see that (unless you are read in to help on that project directly). It's just the way it is.
I hope this helps clear up some common misconceptions. BTW - anyone can research this for themselves and find the same answers - which is something we were asked to do from the beginning.
Without going into detail I can also confirm everything you have stated is completely accurate. Glad to see someone explain this here. Maybe it will assist educating a few, however, after so many years seeing the these kind of posts so many times on this site id imagine the wild fantastic theories on Q clearance will persist.
Sometimes, I visualize the facts (truth) as being like a central core of [Y] color, lets, say, which as it spreads, diffuses, on a background of [X] (non-facts, non-truth, fiction).
Close to the core, the facts prevail, and those who position their perspective near the core see mostly facts and the truth (of the thing). But those who are more distance, create their perspective with a combination of [Y] and [X], so that the picture they adopt as real, is actually some truth mixed with fiction.
Out there in the hinterland of anon-dom, or awakeningsville, there are people who have heard of Q or Qanon, who know a few things, and who adopt ideas and views that are barely consistent with the facts.
This sort of diffusion pattern persists across the info-sphere in all sorts of ways, as far as I can see.
It really depends on a person's seriousness and/or intent as to how close to the core they try to position themselves. The real "truth seekers" are the ones who make that effort, to the best of their ability. Others are happy enough to just push a little, or a mild way, or (sadly) not at all.
From this perspective, what you say is likely to be true: wild fantastic theories on Q clearance (and all sorts of other things) will persist.
Something something about leading horses and water and stuff....
That is one fantastic metaphor.
Very well put. I see it as a nuts and bolts approach. Take a big picture point and if followed through to core pieces the big picture makes more sense and viability of it is more clear. The minutia of things seems to be too cluttered for most to partake in assessment and therefore dissolves away from the perspective of believing truth is spoken. However truth was there just not with actual conviction since it lacks the aspect of creation, the nuts and bolts of why it is. I like the linear (color gradiant) grid relation used in your correlation. Even more value using that logic if adding a z-axis (perhaps alternate or adjacent absolutes) for 3rd dimensional perspective.
Yes, very much agree, and think that the 3-axis model works as well as any 2-axis one. Indeed, I first conceived of the core as being like a sun in the middle of space, and the diffusion occurring outwards in 3 dimensions.
You nailed it. I was a little bit of an unusual case for a while. I traveled around to the labs, etc. I had an unusual AF business card and orders to match. I was actually surprised with the enthusiasm that everyone displayed when showing me their stuff.
As a human with TS/SCI I concur with this explanation. Need to Know and read ins are the only thing getting you any knowledge.
Thank you for this detailed explanation. Much appreciated.
We know this but the CORRUPTION is so bad that I don’t trust the system anymore. Yesterday I was reading some news about how some corporations giving US citizenship to Africans and Asians babies, they were running some kind of scam there profiting from that, what’s that? To get a US passport supposed to be really difficult. How in the world NGO’s or corporations get that power? I believe I saw the news here or in TS.
