The 1980s and 1990s saw a surge of “charismatic” preachers in the west, particularly in parts of Canada and the southern United States. Faith “healings,” “holy laughter,” “speaking in tongues” and being “slain in the Spirit” came to be evidence of one’s “holiness.”
Of particular note were the faith healings. Preachers would bring the desperate sick onto the stage, ask them questions, engage in impassioned rhetoric, “cast out the Devil” and “rebuke demons of infirmity,” and declare the targets “healed,” sometimes with demonstrations where they would remove crutches or wheelchairs (nearly all of which were supplied by the churches or “revival festivals,” themselves) to show the “power of the Spirit.” All this, of course, before passing the plate for the “offering.”
In cases where the healings failed, there would be invectives about a lack of faith or an abundance of sin preventing the healing from taking place. The prospect was win-win for the preacher: either he performed a miracle and looked like a hero, or he didn’t because of something entirely the fault of the subject of the healing.
This brings me to QAnon. All the flowery promises, the calls to “trust the plan,” the dubious “proofs” baked into current events or cryptic Nostradamian “predictions” that are left open to debate and interpretation, and most importantly, the burden being placed on the faithful, that if they don’t believe strongly enough, how if they doubt, it can undermine the “healing” process Q keeps promising is just around the next corner, all reeks of the same charlatanism and parlor tricks of Benny Hinn at the peak of his fame and popularity.
There’s no substance other than that provided by the believers who attempt to make sense of nonsense. There’s no action other than a call to wait for somebody else’s action. There’s no consequence for a prediction going unfulfilled, because either the faithful misunderstood or “the people weren’t ready, yet.” Four years in and there hasn’t been an indictment for any key player.
There is evidence that Biden directly threatened to withhold aid from Ukraine to prevent his son from being investigated, bragged about it on camera, and when Trump simply asked a question of the Ukrainian President on the matter, he wound up impeached for his trouble while Joe and Hunter walk free and Joe scores political points off of Trump’s “abuse of power.” This is “draining the swamp?” This is striking fear in the deep state? This is “all part of the plan?”
Here’s a prediction of my own, in 2025, as Trump’s successor is sworn in and nothing substantive has changed, QAnon’s followers will still be watching and waiting, “trusting the plan” and believing their healing is only just over the next hill.

The one and only future predicting document in human history are "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion". The rest of huamn history is a lie agreed upon.
Yes, that's called idolatry, which includes all cult of personality surrounding deities, messiahs, leaders, influencers, representatives, authority figures (which fucking authority), and idolatry towards all materialistic as well as as idolatry towards holding onto any beliefs, accepting any labels or belief systems (-isms), and not questioning rhetorical traps. What all of this boils down to is the natural temptation of hedonism, which is believing in yourself over reality, which led to others exploiting and corrupting those beliefs into forms of parasitical population control.
No. there is a story being presented by people who are proven to be pathological liars to the point where they have a belief system based on "tricking" all other humans with lies and deceptions, and the target of all their tales is the state of your mind, to get you to believe them. There is no such thing as a Trump or a Biden, because these are presented actors; hypocritical liars who re payed to do just that. There is also no such thing as Ukraine, because the Ukrainians living on the land called Ukraine are NOT in charge of their land. The ones who are in charge are the same people who are paying the actors called Trump and Biden to tell you tales about a construct called Ukraine. These are all criminals keeping up a false reality so that they can exploit mankind under mental and physical slavery, because if they won't do this, the human mind would adapt to the exploitation and put a bloody end to it. They absolutely do not want that to happen, hence all the lies.

What I find more interesting about this is that the overwhelming majority of Q-tards are religious, and even more so Christian. They tow the line here with idolatry, if not directly go over it. No one is perfect and we're all hypocrites somewhere at sometime, but the many text on idolatry just goes way over their head. There are warnings against it for a reason. Even if you're not religious there's some wisdom you can get from these lessons.
As for as the rest of your text about actors, you are correct. Politics is just theater. It would be nice if it wasn't so, but merely having hopes and dreams doesn't change the fact.

It's a substitute belief systems. Since the ones in charge are dismantling Christianity, the believer lose trust in their preachers, and the preacher has the function of reaffirming the belief, which isn't easy in 2020, when it's all about sodomy, race mixing and what a pleasure israel is. So now Q takes on the preacher role of giving them something to believe in "trust the plan". Religion for the believer is just like democracy for the citizens...a way out of responsibility; the path of least resistance. The believer believes that praying is all it takes to keep chaos in check, and the citizens believe that their vote leads to a functioning governance over society. And from the perspective of the controllers we see two parties being controlled through belief alone. The perfect slaves.
Deities, messiahs, symbology, flags, temples, preachers...that's all idolatry, but then comes the "but muh false idols" excuse, and when you point out that accepting tax exemptions means worshiping usury and mammon, they tend to get angry. nah, Christianity was designed to make the believers constantly fail, otherwise they couldn't get the "fallen world" doctrine working. Each one of the ten commandments is impossible to uphold.
All religious scriptures are stock full of wisdom if you read them with an open mind, and not while holding beliefs. never take any story literally, and don't waste a second on names, dates and locations. Always keep in mind that whoever wrote it, did it with an intent to influence your mind, and since all religious scriptures where passed down from the controlling top, you should start with the ill intent, so ask yourself how could any of the written cause damage in my head. If you do this, then even in the worse case scenario of an outright negative text, you will gain the knowledge of how it could be used against you, which is always positive to know.
Try to never surface read, watch, listen any story coming from those above you; always try to make the connection from the writer to the reader. Once you learn to engage stories like this, you'll find out that there are not many ways to really tell a story when you scrap all the useless fluff. You can read and learn so much faster once you know what to skip.
That is why they are lying and deceiving; hopes and dreams are beliefs. Time initiates movement which defines existences and demands constant adaptation from it's participants. Holding on to any belief represents stagnation; the opposite. Our consciousness is a tool for comprehension of the nature around us; it has no problems with constantly adapting to any change presented; unless you restrict it with a belief, because then it can only comprehend under your given rules. That's why we have a parasite problem that utilizes lies, because that's our biggest weak-spot...Believing or more specifically; holding on to believes. Why? Because in nature belies always temporary towards an unknown, automatically followed by curiosity, which leads to the path of knowledge at which end the unknown becomes known and the need for the belief disappears and becomes the deadly temptation of blind faith; stagnation; self restricting...believing in ourselves aka hedonism.

Do you understand how close we are to mutually assured destruction? Waking the sleeping dragon has consequences.

QAnon - Picture a jew on 4Chan posting to a bunch of fat, autistic retards that read Brietbart as Gospel. They only have one Channel on at the old folks home, Fox News. If you don’t agree 1,000% with Zionism you can’t really understand Middle East Policy, types.
When not watching Fox News the fat, autistic retards are posting about it on Kikebook. Sharing the lamest meme you can think of from 2001.
They don’t tend to get any up to date news or read/watch anything of substance so the lead jew can read a news article, make up a prophecy, then a couple days later one of the rubes finds his original article they referred to and say “Look Q was right, here is this brand new article only a week old talking about what Q posted last night! Boom faggots and Demonrats, Q is everywhere!”
The real magic of Qanon is that a couple fat boomers might actually read a real news article, 99.9% don’t, they just read Enquirer level posts on Kikebook. They need something to do while day drinking in retirement hones...
