How this Works

For each publication, I will review at least one Q drop and discuss at a high level. There is a vast amount of data out there that I cannot not hope to capture in these publications. Therefore, I encourage each of you to independently research the data and come to your own conclusions.

Drops #613 (https://qalerts.app/):

Q provides a link to a July 27, 2002, memorandum for Daniel J. Bryant, who was the Assistant Attorney General, Office of Legislative Affairs, by John Choon Yoo, who was the Deputy Assistant Attorney General (https://bit.ly/3FDpsHa). Q highlights this document explicitly, including no other information, which indicates the value of the information contained within. Therefore, due to the length / density of information contained within the document, I decided to dedicate this entire publication / podcast to its breakdown. At a high level, this document provides in depth discussion / education around the topic of Constitutional balance of power between the executive and legislative branches of the US government, specifically as it relates to classifying and capturing enemy combatants (both foreign and domestic). For this breakdown, I decided to take screen shots of portions of the memorandum I believed to be most important. We will discuss each screenshot as we work our way through the document. As always, I encourage you to read through the document in its entirety.

I included this first section to provide appropriate context. This document is a scanned copy of an official document from the US Department of Justice. This section tells us the recipient is Daniel J. Bryant, who was the Assistant Attorney General, Office of Legislative Affairs. The memo was written on July 27, 2002. Most importantly, the topic of the memo is “Applicability of 18 USC 4001(a) to Military Detention of United States Citizens.” This section provides an executive summary of sorts on the first few lines. The memo states up front that the President has the authority to detain enemy combatants, including US citizens, based on his Constitutional authority as Commander in Chief. Specifically, this memo states 18 USC 4001(a) (not explicitly referenced here) does not interfere with this Constitutional authority. Based on the upfront matter alone, it didn’t take me long to conclude that Q wanted us to comb more carefully through the contents of this memorandum.

The memorandum begins by defining / outlining the authority that is spelled out in the Commander in Chief section of the Constitution. This section states the President is authorized to detain all enemy combatants, including US citizens. The memorandum then makes explicit note that Congress had taken specific actions, post 9/11, to allow the President to [use force] against enemy combatants. I believe it is important to understand these more fundamental pieces of truth / law / precedent. Once we understand the big picture, we can critically think about how it fits into the context of the war we find ourselves fighting.

The memorandum continues by stating that Article II of the Constitution provides the President the entirety of the executive power of the US government and is Commander in Chief over the Army and Navy. As the Constitution is clear on this delineation / definition of power, the Supreme Court has unanimously stated that “the President alone” “is constitutionally invested with the entire charge of hostile operations.” Therefore, the President possesses the full powers necessary to prosecute a military campaign. Looking back at all we have discussed (and everything else we haven’t had a chance to discuss), I believe it is no wonder Trump simultaneously declared himself a wartime president at the same time he worked to end the kinetic wars that were fueling the Military Industrial Complex and the fiat slave system. The only logical conclusion is that he acknowledged, and was communicating, that a different type of war had broken out / been declared. Like it or not, understand it or not, we are in the highest stakes and most complex war that has ever been fought! 

The memorandum continues by stating one of the core functions of the President is to capture and detain members of the enemy, at least for the duration of the conflict. It continues by listing a variety of examples where this authority had been exercised throughout our nation’s history and states that Congress has never attempted to interfere in this area. Again, this information was being re-reviewed, re-challenged, re-communicated, re-affirmed, etc. post 9/11. Where the Deep State agenda was not “covered,” they worked to implement new pieces to the system (e.g. the Patriot Act). 

I believe this quote provides additional academic value as we break this down. It does this by highlighting how the law of war defines a distinction between armed and peaceful populations of belligerent nations. It also defines a distinction between lawful and unlawful combatants. As you can imagine, here is where things can get messy and grey. This section clarifies that both lawful and unlawful combatants are subject to capture and detention, but only unlawful combatants are subject to justice through military tribunals. Remember, we must do everything according to the rule of law as we take down this enemy!

The next section further clarifies the difference between law enforcement and military detention, as punitive and preventive, respectively. This is important to understand as we seek justice as some players have only broken civil laws, some have only broken military laws, and many have broken both. Therefore, as we have seen, the process of cleaning up the mess will be extremely complex.

The memorandum continues by stating that American citizenship is insufficient of stopping the President’s authority, once it has been determined that something is an enemy combatant. The Supreme Court fully backed this decision. Most importantly, the enemy does not need to be caught while in the act or captured within the theatre of war. Ample evidence of the crime is sufficient.

The memorandum concludes defining / outlining the President’s authority by referencing Senate Joint Resolution 23. This resolution went into effect of September 18, 2001. This resolution recognizes the President’s authority under the Constitution to take action to deter and prevent international terrorism. Interestingly, this is where we see the addition of using “all necessary and appropriate force” against terrorist nations. The resolution continues by further clarifying that Congress specifically endorsed the use of deadly force and detainment. A lot has happened, for right and wrong, over the years.

The memorandum begins its closing section by concluding that nothing in 18 USC 4001(a) indicated it was attempting to usurp the President’s authority regarding enemy combatants. In reality, 18 USC 4001(a) was written to address the Attorney General’s authority with respect to the federal prison system. The memo further clarifies that nothing within 18 USC 4001(a) could be plausibly construed to apply to this topic. Again, we are reviewing this memorandum to better understand the history of our nation and the resulting system we find ourselves in today.

I believe this quote, representing repeated emphasis from the court, speaks for itself. It is well documented / accepted that the President has unique powers when it comes to war and foreign affairs. This is a delicate area. Hence why I always find it weird when certain players (e.g. House / Senate representatives) are taking international trips / action. Too many operating in this role leaves it ripe for information operations, influence campaigns, and infiltration. The Constitution is clear on the roles / boundaries of the various branches of government.

I included this last part as a “devolution proof” of sorts. Simply put, this section openly admits (in 2002) that the Federal Government has certain emergency powers which can be exercised if necessary for self-preservation. Most importantly, folks holding these opinions gave the President extensive latitude to exercise various war powers, due to his position as Commander in Chief and his sworn duty to uphold the Constitution to preserve the “Republic.” I truly find the untold / forgotten history fascinating.

The memorandum ends by concluding that the information contained within demonstrates there was no agreement in Congress that 18 USC 4001(a) would reach enemy combatants or regulate the President’s authority as Commander in Chief to detain them. Here we see that the memorandum was written by John C Yoo, who was the Deputy Assistant Attorney General. As with most players, and even more so as you dig back into history, this player has an interesting background / history of actions. “John Choon Yoo is a Korean-born American legal scholar and former government official.” ““He became known for his legal opinions in the early 2000s concerning executive power, warrantless wiretapping, and the Geneva Conventions while serving as Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) during the George W. Bush administration. Yoo was the author of the controversial ‘Torture Memos’ set to determine the legal limits for the torture of detainees during the War on Terror after the September 11 attacks” (https://bit.ly/3T1AZ6b). This concludes our deeper dive on the contents of the link provided in drop #613, which I believe contained a tremendous amount of important information.

If you have made it to the end, congratulations! I hope you had a wonderful week. I am absolutely floored by the level of activity in the first part of December. The Patriots are absolutely dropping bombs across the board. Trump is also getting more and more aggressive with his messages. We don’t know how it will all play out, but there is no shortage of things to keep your eye on. As for current events, here are some highlights that come to mind (among many others):

• Numerous deaths have been reported due to the Strep A infection. While Strep A is similar to strains from previous years, some are citing the loss of / weakening of our immune systems resulting from the lockdowns. I’d chalk this one up in the category of “conspiracy theory no more.”

• The Twitter files continue to be released. To date we have evidence Twitter was working with the FBI / DOJ to censor various conservative accounts, Tweets, narratives, you name it. We have evidence Twitter did this with the Hunter Biden laptop. We also know that FBI General Council James Baker ended up over at Twitter (since released by Elon). We also know that John Podesta’s niece was head of the Trust and Safety division. Elon stated she had power in this role comparable to / higher than the CEO. Last night we were provided evidence showing how prolific the censorship was, leading up to the removal of President Trump. Tonight, and tomorrow, we will learn about the timeline before and after 1/6. Go check them out!

• As mentioned above, Trump has had a lot to say about the data from the Twitter files being publicly released (see TRUTHs below). We are in [unprecedented] territory. Therefore, anything can happen.

• Since the last time I reported new Q drops, we saw 3 new drops hit the boards (see below). In these, Q points to the ongoing war over / collection of our DNA and the need to protect that data, points to a “Q&A” session (which was interestingly enough followed up by Elon doing a Q&A in Twitter Spaces shortly thereafter), and telling Anons to be careful who they follow (i.e. false prophets), and tells us to [focus] on the mission. Note: Elon was asked, and was adamant, that he is NOT suicidal.

• @andst put out a great thread on Twitter, covering the progress / steps the platform has made in the fight against content that exploits children (e.g. sexually) (https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1599115510666661888.html).

• General Flynn re-posted a classic link to a great documentary on the sickness of pedophilia in Hollywood, Congress, and big business. It is called Out of Shadows and I encourage you to give it a watch. (https://bit.ly/3Yev3uo).

• TechnoFog highlighted a new COVID-19 study (Germany) which demonstrates lethal vaccine-induced myocarditis. “Overall, autopsy findings indicated death due to acute arrhythmogenic cardiac failure. Thus, myocarditis can be a potentially lethal complication following mRNA-based anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.” (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00392-022-02129-5).

• The midterm elections seem to be over, with the Georgia runoff for Senate being called for Warnok (D), and the Arizona Governor race being certified for Katie Hobbs (D). Honestly, I believe we will see a lot more to come regarding elections as Twitter continues to go scorched earth on releasing damning evidence and the Patriots continue to take actions. For example, Kari Lake continues to fight in Arizona, filing a lawsuit against Katie Hobbs. We even saw an email being released on Twitter, showing Katie Hobbs working with Twitter to censor information leading up to the 2022 election.

• In a move very similar to the ones made by Obama, a horrible trade was made with Russia for WNBA Star Brittney Griner. The Brandon administration traded an international arms dealer known as the "Merchant of Death." If that wasn’t bad enough, the Brandon administration left behind Paul Whelan, a marine.

• In general shenanigans worth a brief mention, Time Magazine selected Zelensky as their person of the year, the Deep State got a tax fraud conviction against one of Trump’s companies, Sam Bankman-Fried hired Ghislaine Maxwell’s defense attorney, the FBI ramped up funding to fight “MAGA terrorism,” Pfizer is working on a combined Covid / Flu vaccine, and Pfizer asked the FDA to add the Covid vaccination to the already tremendously long list of routine vaccinations for children.
