Here's the thing about 'Q' that to me is important.

The number 17 keeps coming up over and over in all kinds of venues. Trump gets a football jersey... #17. 17 generals standing behind him when he tells the press 'Do you know what this is?' "The calm before the storm." Trump mentions "17 times I've been to NY." (I forget the exact wording but the msg was as clear as day to Q aficionados!).

Andrew Johnson was the 17th POTUS and the first portrait hung in the Oval Office by Trump! Not to mention that AJ killed the 2nd National Bank of the US (2nd attempt of international bankers to gain control of the finances of the US.) They attempted his life but the story goes both cap n ball pistols misfired. The next portrait hung in the Oval Office was Lincoln who created a competing currency to the international banking cartel the Green-backed Dollar. It's said they had a lot of green ink available.

Extrapolating these two portraits (a shot across the bow of the international bankers) I come up with Trump is going to kill the Federal Reserve. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was appointed as interim IRS commissioner. As you know the IRS is the thug collection arm of the FED. It was created right after the FED in 1913. There's already talk of eliminating the IRS/FED. I knew this way back when I followed the Q phenomenon. I didn't exactly 'know' it was going to happen, but there was hints that it might. FFWD to today and now stuff is making more sense which is why Q said "Future proves past". When I first heard that I scratched my head thinking "Wut??" Same sense I had when Trump told the MSM "You are fake news." Now I understand!!


GROK
List Instances of the Number 17 in Relation to Trump:
  1. 17th President Connection (Historical Context): Donald Trump is the 45th and 47th President of the United States (serving 2017–2021 and set to serve 2025–2029). There’s no direct link to the 17th president (Andrew Johnson), but some political analyses or social media discussions might draw parallels between Trump and past presidents, including the 17th, due to controversial tenures or impeachment (Johnson was impeached, as was Trump twice). This is a speculative connection but noted in some online discussions.
  2. January 6, 2021, Capitol Riot (17th Event Post-Election): The Capitol riot occurred on January 6, 2021, 17 days before Trump’s first term ended on January 20, 2021. While not explicitly tied to the number 17 in most reports, the timing could be referenced in analyses of his post-election actions.
  3. 17 States in Legal Actions (2020 Election): After the 2020 election, Trump and his campaign filed lawsuits in multiple states alleging voter fraud. A notable instance is a Texas-led lawsuit joined by 17 states, filed with the Supreme Court in December 2020, challenging election results in four battleground states. This case, Texas v. Pennsylvania, was dismissed, but the number 17 is directly tied to the states supporting Trump’s legal efforts.
  4. QAnon and the Number 17 (Conspiracy Theory): The number 17 is significant in QAnon circles because the letter “Q” is the 17th letter of the alphabet. Trump has been a central figure in QAnon narratives, with supporters often highlighting the number 17 in posts, events, or symbolism (e.g., 17 flags at a Trump rally or 17-second video clips). While Trump has not directly endorsed QAnon, the association persists in some online communities.
  5. 17th Floor of Trump Tower: Trump’s primary residence and business headquarters, Trump Tower in New York City, has specific floors tied to his operations. While his personal residence is on the top floors (66–68), some reports mention the 17th floor as part of the Trump Organization’s office space or related activities, though this is less prominent.
  6. 17 Golf Courses Owned by Trump: As of my knowledge cutoff, the Trump Organization owns or operates 17 golf courses worldwide, including properties like Trump National Doral and Trump Turnberry. This number is often cited in discussions of his business empire.
  7. Age 17 in Context of Family: Trump’s daughter, Tiffany Trump, was born in 1993. In 2010, when she was 17 years old, she began gaining public attention, including her debut at events tied to the Trump brand. This is a minor connection but relevant to family milestones.
  8. 17th Campaign Event or Rally (Hypothetical Count): Trump’s campaigns (2016, 2020, 2024) involved numerous rallies. While no specific source ties the 17th rally explicitly, it’s plausible that analyses of his campaign schedules (e.g., 17th rally in a cycle) could mention the number 17. This is speculative without exact data.
  9. 17 Mentions in Media or Posts (Symbolic): On platforms like X, users sometimes emphasize the number 17 in relation to Trump due to QAnon or other symbolic interpretations (e.g., 17 likes, 17 retweets, or 17-minute speeches). These are anecdotal but frequent in certain online spaces.
Summary:Here’s a tally of clear and speculative instances where the number 17 connects to Trump:
  • Confirmed Instances:
    • 17 states in the 2020 election lawsuit.
    • 17 golf courses owned by the Trump Organization.
    • QAnon’s use of 17 (symbolic, tied to “Q” as the 17th letter).
  • Speculative/Indirect Instances:
    • 17 days between January 6, 2021, and the end of his term.
    • 17th floor of Trump Tower (minor business reference).
    • Tiffany Trump at age 17 in 2010.
    • Potential references to 17th events, rallies, or symbolic mentions in media/X posts.
    • 17th president comparisons (rare, speculative).
Total Count: At least 3 confirmed instances (states, golf courses, QAnon) and up to 5 additional speculative connections, yielding 3–8 instances depending on context. The number 17 is most prominently tied to the election lawsuit and QAnon symbolism.Notes:
  • Without real-time access to X or web data, I can’t verify current mentions of 17 in recent posts or articles (e.g., specific rally counts or new symbolic uses). If you’d like, I can assume a hypothetical search and estimate further instances based on patterns (e.g., X posts often amplify QAnon’s 17 references).
  • If you have a specific context in mind (e.g., Trump’s 2024 campaign, a particular date, or numerology), please clarify, and I can refine the list.
  • The number 17’s prominence in QAnon-related discussions makes it likely to appear frequently in fringe online content, but I’ve kept this list grounded in verifiable or reasonably inferred connections.
Final Answer: The number 17 appears at least 3 times in direct relation to Trump (17 states in the 2020 lawsuit, 17 golf courses, QAnon’s 17th letter symbolism) and up to 5 more times in speculative contexts (January 6 timing, Trump Tower floor, Tiffany’s age, potential rally counts, 17th president analogies), for a total of 3–8 instances.


Then there is JFK's grave site:


Never mind that the 17th letter of the alphabet is "Q"!! There are too many 'coincidences' to be happenstance.

I think the Q saga is a military psyop at the highest level. It provides those who followed along from the gitgo an veiled insight into 'stuff' going on behind the scenes that isn't ready for prime time. The people have no clue because 80% of them are clueless. They rely on the MSM to inform them of reality when you and I know the opposite is true. Q has even suggested that they can't reveal all of it as the humanity wouldn't be able to handle it. I suspect Q is talking here about the pedophilia and Satan sacrificial human hunting parties by the elites?

There are Q 'bread crumbs' throughout the blogosphere. One just needs to grok their meaning when they appear, otherwise they are meaningless.

If you've followed the Bill Cosby trial - whom I think was the first to feel the wrath of a patient man - then there was the Hollywood fat man casting couch Harvey Winestein trial, Epstein's Island, P-Diddy and others too numerous to list. I don't think that was by accident. Same with Disney being associated with children and pedo executives.

In the end it doesn't matter if WE believe the Q saga... what matters is those who were involved in the coup and treasonous activity are also able to read 'Q' and realize the jig is up. I'm sure to them it reads like a who's who of deep state operations they were involved with?

"There's panic in DC" Q

Just wait til Trump cleans out DC!
 
Hmmm


Okay, let's tackle this. The user is referencing a Reuters report about Trump preparing to activate the National Guard in DC, suggesting federalization. DOGEai's role is to expose government waste and inefficiency while supporting Trump.

First, check the Knowledge Base. The Insurrection Act of 2025 (S. 2070) is relevant here. It outlines strict conditions for using military force domestically, requiring state requests or overwhelming circumstances.

The web results mention military preparations and past instances where Trump considered federalizing DC.

Here it is:

The Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, John Ratcliffe, drops a bomb

More declassified intelligence files are set to be released—files that will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Barack Obama ordered the attempted overthrow of the United States government in 2016 and the overthrow of the sitting president in 2017.

Additionally, John Brennan, Hillary Clinton, and James Comey are set to be indicted:

@CIADirector
“John Brennan testified to John Durham in August of 2020. He also testified to the House Oversight Committee in 2022. Hillary Clinton testified before John Durham under oath in 2022. James Comey testified before the Senate Committee in September 2020.

All of that was within the last five years. Much of that testimony is, frankly, completely inconsistent with what our underlying intelligence—soon to be declassified—actually shows.”

————————————————-
•John Brennan testified under oath before John Durham in August 2020. Lied.
•Hillary Clinton testified under oath before John Durham in May 2022. Lied.
•James Comey was interviewed by John Durham in 2020. Lied.

In other words, while the federal statute of limitations for perjury is five years, conspiracy to overthrow the United States government has none.
 
Andrew JACKSON killed the Second National Bank.

Andrew Johnson was a replacement VP on the 1864 ticket - Lincoln's intention to send a message of national unity across party lines, by selecting a (Northern) Democrat as his running mate.

Didn't work out so well. HE, not Jackson, was the first to be Impeached.
 
Beyond a shadow of a doubt? How much longer do we have to wait for arrests?
 
my bad... got in a hurry... had to go shopping....

But yeah it was Andrew Jackson....
 
Beyond a shadow of a doubt? How much longer do we have to wait for arrests?
How would you know if any have been arrested and off to Gitmo and tried there?

Why warn the rest of them by broadcasting it in the MSM?

The swamp is still deep and the D's have set up judges to thwart Trump's every move.

We have to be patient. That's all.
 

This is MASSIVE RFK Jr says HHS is investigating EVERY hidden Big Pharma incentive to doctors to push vaccines and ELIMINATING THEM

“We're scanning every corner of the health care system for hidden incentives that corrupt medical judgment. What we're finding is alarming. Doctors are being paid to vaccinate, not to evaluate. They're pressured to follow the money, not the science.

We've recently uncovered that more than 36,000 doctors had their Medicare reimbursements altered based upon childhood vaccination rates. That's not medicine. That's coercion. It's immoral. It has no place in a constitutional democracy or in a system that claims to protect children.

Medical decisions should be made based upon one thing and one thing only. The well being of the patient. Never on a financial bonus or a government mandate. Patients deserve honest, uncorrupted advice from their doctors.

Doctors deserve the freedom to use their training and to follow the science and speak the truth without fear of punishment. Doctors should be guided by medical judgment and their Hippocratic oath, not by financial incentives or government mandates. That's what this policy change is about. And it's just the beginning.“
 
Why did they hack the courts??

Future proves past? Panic in DC??

Drop 1351= 5/04/2018

WUT? LOL!


Someone wants to see whose names are on all those hundreds of thousands of sealed indictments...

Drop 1351:
Sealed indictments.
Define indictment.
“An indictment is a formal accusation against one or more defendants, charging them with one or more crimes. In the federal criminal system, the indictment is the principal method by which a prosecutor initiates criminal proceedings.”
How are they sealed?
How are they secured?
How are they safeguarded?
No leaks [unusual?]
Federal vs ….
Why are accusations sealed?
Grand jury involved?
Re_read crumbs re: DOJ / FBI re: IG / Huber
Who appointed Huber?
SESSIONS.
WHAT DEPTS MUST BE CLEANED PRIOR TO REC FAIR AND EQUAL [JUSTICE] UNDER THE LAW?
What happens if FED [criminal] indictments are brought forth to a corrupt FBI / DOJ / FED Judge?
FBI / DOJ - 1st.
C_A / State - next?
Now comes the pain.

Drop 1822:
You are witnessing a FULL PANIC ATTACK by the FAKE NEWS MEDIA & COVERT ALT MEDIA AFFILIATES (foreign gov’t).
They cannot contain or defeat what they do not understand.
Is any of this normal?
Think sealed indictments count.
Think resignations of CEOs.
Think resignations of Senators.
Think resignations of Congress.
Think termination of sr FBI…
Think termination of sr DOJ…
WATERGATE X1000
Attacks will only intensify.
Logical thinking.

DECLARING A CRIME EMERGENCY IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA​

Executive Orders
August 11, 2025
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 740 of the District of Columbia Self-Government and Governmental Reorganization Act (Public Law 93-198), as amended (section 740 of the Home Rule Act), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Crime is out of control in the District of Columbia. Washington, District of Columbia, is our Nation’s capital and home to the central institutions of American governance. Yet rising violence in the capital now urgently endangers public servants, citizens, and tourists, disrupts safe and secure transportation and the proper functioning of the Federal Government, and forces the diversion of critical public resources toward emergency response and security measures. The city government’s failure to maintain public order and safety has had a dire impact on the Federal Government’s ability to operate efficiently to address the Nation’s broader interests without fear of our workers being subjected to rampant violence.​

This administration announces everything to the MSM. They love the headlines and attention.
If anyone was hauled off to gitmo we would know about it. There will not be any secret trials of high level people nor should you want any. It's one of the dumber things put out by Q over the years. Right up there with all the white hats that Trump hired in his 1st term that were going to save America and most turned out to be working for the DS. Just more evidence Q is a LARP This will be my last post in this thread since you ruined it with Q bullshit. No-one is interested in Q shit. If they were they would have gone to the Q thread by now.
 
I spent a career policing Ghettos. There have always been Ghettos. There will always be Ghettos.

Th Earth itself, you see, is one big Ghetto, spinning in space. Trump is a rich white boy and he don't understand Ghettology. Me ? I may be white but my experiences has left me with an advanced degree as a Ghettologist. Indeed, I'm certified.

And the answer for the problem of Ghettos is there is no answer. Ghettos will continue to thrive wherever Liberals continue to vote, or did you think a barely literate 15yo kid is going to take a $15 a hour job in a Popeyes fried chicken joint when he could be making $200 an hour slinging dope or $50 an hour standing on a corner yelling, "Po Po coming"? Ain't gonna happen.

We had a rule, sell your dope and as long as nobody started shooting we'd just do our normal Po Po thing. Start shooting and these gangta's couldn't walk a block without being stopped 5 times. But they took away stop and frisk and they hired and promoted a bunch of Leftist morons who could barely read thanks to affirmative action.

So good luck D.C. . Lotsa luck.
 

Straight Down the Middle: Trump's "takeover" of Washington, DC​

Aug 12, 2025
President Trump has seized command of the DC police force and is deploying the National Guard there as well. Why? Because, according to the White House, violent crime in DC is "out of control." Critics say Trump's actions are "unlawful." Are they? Because of unique features in the way DC is governed, the President has more power over Washington than any other city in the US, and -- for now, at least -- President Trump's actions seem pretty clearly within his legal authority.

In light of today's breaking news about Adam Schiff and his leak team in the US Congress:

A gentle reminder: this was one of the last columns I wrote for the @EpochTimes back in 2021.

You know, way back in the dim dark days of yesteryear when I was still one of them weird 'conspiracy theorists' that thought SpyGate was going anywhere.

Does anybody REMEMBER that this happened? Schiff and Swalwell were both surveilled and investigated by a federal grand jury for SEVERAL YEARS?

Or am I the only journalist in America that recalls any of this?

Typical leftist hop on the Trump is bad bandwagon!

Plenty of 'evidence' they've been jimmying the crime statistics in EVERY liberal enclave.

Either they're not arresting criminals, not investigating criminals, or they're indicating 'white' for obvious black/brown/purple toned criminals to skew the stats.

NOBODY is going to drill down to the mug shot stats page to confirm race. They'll just report the collated BS they massaged as facts.

You could't pay me to walk in DC at night. Nor Chicago... where I grew up! Or NY for that matter!
 
$3B to renovate is insane! That right there tells you it's a money laundering operation!

Follow the money! Who got paid what and when??

 
Typical leftist hop on the Trump is bad bandwagon!
Should have watched or listened to the vid. According to the lawyer T was / is well with in his rights to do what he did.
Didn't watch the vid, because I knew there'd be so much FOD in there, and so much Narrative building. In ANY discussion of this - Trump cheerleaders, TDS patients, I don't care. Even the objective, won't really stand out until the dust clears.

That said...Trump is not only within his rights, he's managing DC properly. AS INTENDED BY THE FRAMERS.

Home-Rule is a travesty of what the District was supposed to be. STATES are where criminal law is to be written and enforced. Cities/counties are subdivisions of States. The District was unique in that it was to protect Federal officials from reprisals of politicized state governments - imagine, if you will, the Maryland state governor arresting Trump. Or the Virginia state governor arresting Barack J. Christ.

The District was intended as neutral territory. Think of how the Mafia made Las Vegas, no-man's land, with no faction or mob in control. Think of outdoor feral cats...they have territories, but they also have neutral areas where they can meet, fight if they like, service females in heat, and then go back into their safe zones.

So. The District should be governed by the Congress, except that law ENFORCEMENT is an Executive function. That means, Bondi, acting under direction of Trump.

One moar thing: The District was NEVER intended to have such huge residential districts. I'm not in favor of making DC a state, or putting it under a state; but the District should be whittled down to the actual business area of government - the Capitol, White House...I'm not clear on the geography of the various bureaucratic hives; they should be in that area. End of the day, everyone leaves the district except the resident of the White House.

Let Woke Maryland deal with all the drugs and black killers.
 
That's so obvious...my reaction, were I to recount, would be censored by the software.

I live in Montana. Prior to my moving here 12 years ago, I lived in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I left Cleveland 18 years ago, and what it has been - aside from the chaos of several forced relocations - it has been an absolute transformation of my world. In Cleveland, I've had eyeglasses stolen out of my car. I've come out of the grocery store to find every window broken on my little econobox car. I've had BS tickets from city cops, when I lived just off a Zero-Tolerance Zone...the cops were flexing, and I was easy game. I've been in Cleveland traffic court, where I couldn't understand what was happening, the judge's Ebonix so thick (Sistah Judge wasn't that slender, either). The crime, the chaos, the reckless driving...watching these hyphenated-Mehhikanz take over the neighborhood that had been my grandparents', with their street crime, their runnin ho's, their sellin schitt outta da fone boofs. (We still had phone booths back then).

I come to Escanaba, Michigan, and everyone is friendly, trusting...nobody worries about auto break-ins. I rent a house, and the landlady (we met in her office in person) tells me to just go look. Where's the key at? Oh, it's unlocked. Go look around and tell me what you think.

Montana is more testosteronal. Men trust each other, but 60-percent are wearing firearms. The big distrust is, yer not onnah them Californicators, are-ya? My funny accent - a mixture of Jersey, Midwest, Texas and California (Navy time) makes them wonder.

Since I'm naturally antisocial, I still haven't fit in, but I'm not viewed with suspicion. It's no obvious my license and my car tags are both dated (plate series) so I just move along. I have the Glock in my waistband, sometimes, now, too...since we're now starting to see plenty of new faces, and many of them are Compton blacks. Yeah, we've become one of the places California pukes up its hominid waste, now.
 

Democrats spent the last four years manipulating their crime stats to make it look like their liberal policies don’t have a fatal effect on their community.

In New York, criminal justice reform means the intimidation of victims from coming forward. When New York passed CJR, they gave more rights to the suspects than the victims.Meaning— if you reported a crime, the suspect could now gain access to your personal information such as your phone number and address.

Police officers will tell you this has intimidated so many victims from coming forward and reporting crimes.

Why?They wanted to make it seem like CJR was reducing crime and they wanted to make this the new national policy.

In New York, millions of dollars was given to Democrats to make this a top issue.

That’s why they pushed it into the state’s 2019 budget.
 
Should have watched or listened to the vid. According to the lawyer T was / is well with in his rights to do what he did.
You're correct. I merely read the headlies...

DC is a corporation and not any part of the Organic united states of America. The POTUS is the CEO of DC.

Fall of the Cabal Official
Aug 12, 2025

Back in 2017-2020 Q posted about all sorts of topics on a daily basis. A lot of posts informed us about the treason of Obama, the election fraud and Russia Gate. To summarize a huge story in just two sentences: There seemed to be only one way to end all this treason and corruption. With the military.
