Ah. Referencing the actual Constitution. This is the way. Thank you, dec3169.
To save other anons the trouble, I'm copy/pasting your comment from that link below:

Even in session they can be arrested for felonies (and likely any crime), though they don't want you to know that...

In Article I, Section 6, Clause 1, the Framers provided for Members of Congress to be free from arrest when attending or traveling to and from Congress except in cases of treason, felony, or breaches of the peace. In interpreting this provision, the Supreme Court has held that the phrase treason, felony, and breach of the peace encompasses all criminal offenses. Consequently, Members are only privileged from arrests arising from civil suits, which were common in America at the time the Constitution was ratified.
And here's the full Article 1, Section 6, Clause 1
Section 6: Rights and Disabilities of Members
The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.
Can't fit all of Quantum theory into a short comment, but yes, entanglement is damned interesting.
In any case, I wasn't saying that 'events are made probable by conscious observations" but rather that the probabilities of the future are made SPECIFIC by conscious observation collapsing the probability wave (or whatever language you prefer).
As for the effects of combined consciousness of millions / billions of people, in terms of observation or even of will and desire, I don't know what to say. It seems possible but I haven't seen anything that nails it down to more than conjecture.
My perception is that China (the CCP) is significantly more evil (forced organ harvesting, maximum surveillance and censorship, etc) than Russia is under Putin -- who is a thug, but a thug who acts as though he actually cares about the Russian people, much as with Muammar Gaddafi and Libya.
So I'm less sanguine about China invading and taking over Taiwan than I am about Russia fighting to get rid of active assaults (bio- and otherwise) from Ukraine and possibly annexing the Russian-population areas there.
Replace every cell with nanobots? You'll have an extremely powerful (and probably quite unstable) supercomputer, but not a conscious being.
If the current idea that consciousness emerges from the functioning of the brain were correct -- where the brain is thought to be like a classical computer -- then a computer could be conscious. But then consciousness could be copied like we routinely copy computer programs, which is classical information. Yet we know perfectly well that our experience is in constant evolution and is private, knowable only within ourselves. Moreover, the meaning we feel always exceeds any symbolic description we may produce to describe it. Therefore, even the owner of the experience (described by quantum information) can only translate a portion of its experience into symbols (described by classical information).

Actually, today's "hundred" is the new ONE DOLLAR BILL. It's worth LESS than that, actually. Check the prices of things in the early 1900s to see what I mean.
Gold is now ~$2400 an ounce. It takes 120 of today's twenty dollar bills to buy that same $20 coin.

Until 1933, a one-ounce US $20 bill WAS THE SAME AS a US $20 GOLD COIN by law. Anyone could go into a bank (or a hardware store, for that matter, if they had enough cash on hand) and exchange one for the other.
It absolutely does, because the future is never more than probabilistic until it arrives, and for that matter unless a conscious being observes what's happening the system remains in a probabalistic state. The famous, and dead-simple, double slit experiment shows that, among other things. Furthermore, this is what allows for free will.
Quantum mechanics tells us a different story [than does Classical physics]. It claims that the behavior of the elementary particles is fundamentally probabilistic, and it recognizes that the act of observing the world changes both the observer and the observed, even if by only a little. Quantum mechanics was soon followed by a more sophisticated theory in which each elementary particle was no longer considered as an independent and separate entity, like an object, but as an excited state of a quantum field -- a property of a field. . . .
I think that modern physics has decided in favor of Plato. In fact, the smallest units of matter are are not physical objects in the ordinary sense; they are forms, ideas which can be expressed unambiguously only in mathematical language. -- Werner Heisenberg
(from Silicon by Federico Faggin; an interesting autobiography from the man who invented and designed the first microprocessor and who is now studying consciousness; his newer Irreducible: Consciousness, Life, Computers, and Human Nature focuses more on that last topic and is excellent.)
The future does not solidify into a particular PRESENT until it is consciously observed, and it is within the probabilistic limits that we can choose our actions (free will); this is WHY, despite what Classical Physics tells us (that every present moment is precisely determined by the previous moments and every future moment is precisely determined by the present configuration of particles and energy), we can choose our actions. "We" -- our consciousness, not the mush of our physical brains -- can exercise free will, and that is only ONE reason why the future is no more EXACTLY predictable than is the weather.
what's the purpose of all this?
We fight. They fight. Somebody wins. Somebody loses.
What's the goal?
The FIGHT is between compassion and hatred.
Between love and cruelty.
Between Good and Evil.
Between emotionally healthy human beings and Satanic power-mongering psychopaths and their thralls.
Between Freedom and Slavery.
Between Paradise or Hell on Earth.
Seems important.
"Patriots are in control" is true, I believe, in a STATISTICAL sense.
But momentary reality isn't always the same as a statistical forecast, no matter how precise the forecast -- because NO forecast can ever be precise, and the further into the future you look, the fuzzier things get.
Basic physics.
I've always thought that Trump's about-face on the lockdowns was probably due to heavy-hitters in the Cabal letting him know what they were planning if he continued to oppose their lockdown plans.
NCSWIC doesn't mean the enemy has no options or moves, or that they aren't still capable of game-changing moves -- as we saw just recently, although their assassination plans backfired in the worst possible way (for them). The end draws ever-closer but the inherent chaos of reality means that details will continue to surprise us.
Here's the post you're talking about, I believe:
Anything is possible, including things we KNOW are wrong (but that might turn out not to be). The history of science shows that clearly.
But I can't say I believe Looking Glass or anything else can give 100% certainty of events in the future, especially days or more in advance and where competing human wills are involved. Nor do I believe in divine revelation to the Q team as a reliable tool for planning.
But yes, I could be wrong.
Looking Glass or no, peering into the future can only give you probabilities, not certainties.
Some probabilities are very high -- "The sun will come up tomorrow" for instance.
But at the quantum level, everything is probabilistic until the present arrives, and even THEN only if consciously observed. There are plenty of other, macro-sized events that can cause (for instance) a Black Swan; the dinosaurs of 66 million years ago were wiped out by one. A twister unexpectedly swerving into your small town is another; China's XI having a (reported as probable) stroke today will perhaps become one, if it brings a sudden change in China's behavior.
All of those things were clearly possible, but none could have been predicted with certainty. With enough information they could have been, at least in theory, foreseen as probable.
The probabilistic, quantum nature of reality means that NOTHING can be predicted with certainty.
Trump's skull was missed by such a tiny amount, from a bullet fired far enough away (reportedly 150 yards) that perfect accuracy would be nearly-impossible even from an expert marksman and even assuming no sudden wind gust, meaning -- to me, anyway -- that even if "Looking Glass" saw Trump alive later in the future (and that even assumes that Looking Glass is real and works as we hear it does) it couldn't be anywhere near a probability of 1 (meaning certainty). Trump's survival of the attempt could NOT have been predicted with more than hazy certainty at best.
I can't imagine the White Hats, or any decent person with control (however tenuous) over the situation, would allow Trump to be put in such a situation.
Just because Patriots are in control does not mean the 'enemy' is controlled
True, and obvious. Of COURSE the future isn't predictable in a fine-grained manner, else weather forecasts would never be wrong. Yes, the "enemy" always has other plans than what we think and for that matter, plans change.
But THIS is a big deal -- the Secret Service was seriously hobbled by DEI hires and who-knows-what-else, a major Trump event was allowed to happen without the usual security sweep and setup (which WOULD have secured the roofs surrounding the venue, for instance), and local law enforcement plus SS agents apparently ignored attendees screaming that there was a shooter on the roof, until it was too late.
That all suggests a lot more behind-the-scenes planning and action than anything that should have escaped notice of the White Hats. A major security lapse like this suggests that the White Hats aren't nearly as much in control as we thought.
Just my take on it.
Having control over the game board does not mean you have control over every action and reaction
True, and obvious. Of COURSE the future isn't predictable in a fine-grained manner, else weather forecasts would never be wrong.

Or wishful thinking. (Same thing, I guess).
But here's hoping . . .
