I think it’s pretty clear to anyone who has eyes to see and ears to hear, that things have gone into overdrive in 2023. The jogging pace has picked up to a sprint as we seem to be getting closer to some kind of conclusion in this story we find ourselves in, as we reach a precipice or inflection point.

But when did things get kicked into high gear?

The jogging pace didn’t turn into a sprint when Elon Musk first announced he was going to buy Twitter in April of 2022. Things didn’t takeoff when Mar-a-Lago was raided in August, or the Queen died in September or even when Musk finally bought Twitter in late October. It didn’t happen when the Republicans took the House in November, or when Paul Pelosi was attacked with a hammer, or Ye went after the Jews, or when the Balenciaga news broke or even when FTX was exposed. The narrative even maintained an enduring pace after the Twitter Files were first released.

When did a noticeable change occur—a change of pace? When did we go into overdrive?

I believe it occurred on 1/7/23, the day McCarthy was voted House Speaker and made his concessions to the House Freedom Caucus in order to get elected. From that day forward, everything changed. I believe this was the day the Deep State Cabal was both spayed and neutered.

Notice I didn’t just say the change occurred when McCarthy was elected House Speaker; this was inevitable when the Republicans took the House in November. Most understood McCarthy would likely become Speaker of the House. The change occurred when McCarthy made his concessions and showed he was going to “play ball”, and that he wouldn’t get in the way of Trump’s agenda.

On Saturday 1/7/23, McCarthy agreed to the concessions and was chosen Speaker of the House on the 15th round of voting.

Some are aware of the Q post from 1/7/18 that had “win” and “15” in brackets, do with that what you choose.

The Monday following McCarthy becoming Speaker of the House, 1/9/23, CBS dropped the story that classified documents were discovered in Biden’s office at the University of Pennsylvania. Then more documents were found, including in his garage, next to his Corvette, in a house Hunter Biden appeared to have paid his dad $50k a month rent for a period of time—a house Hunter Biden obviously had access to.

Since the 1/7/23 concessions, we’ve had Chinese Spy Balloons fly over the US, as well as children’s science projects shot down by $400k US Military missiles. We’ve had fires at large egg production facilities as well as other food manufacturing facilities, and we’ve had multiple toxic train derailments.

The Clinton Body Count has climbed. People tied to the Clintons have shot themselves in the chest AND hung themselves, and somehow got rid of the gun. A billionaire tied to the Clintons decided life isn’t worth living anymore as well. Five members of an environmental consulting firm died in a plane crash after taking off from the Clinton National Airport in Little Rock, Arkansas, having just investigated a toxic spill in Ohio.

Evidence has come out to support Biden and the CIA’s involvement in the sabotage of up to 3 of the 4 Nord Stream pipelines, which transports natural gas from Russian to Germany. It’s interesting how we need to rid the world of cow farts and gas stoves, but blowing up gas pipelines and causing toxic train derailments is fine. The same people who claim to care so much about the environment are fine with causing the next Chernobyl or Exon Valdez oil spill if it furthers their agenda.

Since the 1/7/23 concessions, there seems to be a push to jettison Joe Biden from office and make the Bidens the fall guys for the Deep State Cabal.

There seems to be a shift to blaming COVID on the Chinese and likely Fauci. I fully expect Xi and Fauci to be thrown under the bus, while the media and the rest of the Deep State act as though they were fooled into believing what they said and did. I think Big Pharma will take a little heat, but not the brunt of the blow. It’s likely that the connection between Big Pharma and government agencies will come under fire, but Big Pharma’s profits and power won’t suffer. They will probably close the revolving door between government health agencies and Big Pharma, and the general public will be satisfied.

Have the concessions turned the heat up in 2023?

When the Republicans took the House in November, the Deep State Cabal thought they could control McCarthy and the majority of the RINOs in Congress. When McCarthy gave in to the America First concessions, they knew without a shadow of a doubt that Trump now controls Congress, and that all of their corruption could and would be investigated.

Interestingly, the first time the term America First was coined was by Deep State puppet Woodrow Wilson during his campaign for re-election. He ran on the promise to keep the US out of WWI. Immediately after his victory, however, he brought the US into the War.

The America First Committee was later formed in 1940 to keep the US out of WWII; it included Charles Lindbergh. This group of 800,000 people who fought to keep the US out of the war were considered Nazi supporters, just as the people who call themselves America First are considered racist Nazis today.

There’s nothing new under the sun.

Before stating the concessions and key Congress men and women appointed to important positions and influential committees, lets discuss the House Freedom Caucus.

The House Freedom Caucus are considered conservative Republicans, or rather, not RINOs. They could also be considered America First, or pro Trump. There were 40 Freedom Caucus members after the 2020 election, and 38 of them refused to acknowledge Biden won the election fairly.

Today, there are 49 House Freedom Caucus members. 49 of the 435 Congress members. While the Republicans have the majority in Congress, only 49 are America First in agenda. When the Republicans took the House, the Deep State Cabal thought McCarthy would side with the other 386.

He didn’t. McCarthy has seemingly submitted to Trump and his supporters in Congress.

The Congress men and women who held up McCarthy from becoming Speaker of the House are all a part of the America First House Freedom Caucus, as well as some of the members of Congress who pretended to fight with them during the process. It was all a ploy to get the concessions Trump wanted from McCarthy.

Let’s look at some of the concessions and key committee appointees that have resulted:

• Any member can call for a motion to vacate the speaker’s chair–this used to require five people to put forth a vote.

• A McCarthy-aligned super PAC agreed to not play in open Republican primaries in safe seats. This was a big problem in the 2020 election.

• The House will hold votes on key conservative bills, including a balanced budget amendment, congressional term limits and border security.

• Efforts to raise the nation’s debt ceiling must be paired with spending cuts.

• Move 12 appropriations bills individually, passing separate bills to fund government operations. No more “omnibus” that rolls everything into one huge bill; this change makes it more difficult to hide government waste and corruption.

• More Freedom Caucus representation on committees, including the powerful House Rules Committee

• Cap discretionary spending at fiscal 2022 levels, which would amount to lower levels for defense and domestic programs.

• Seventy-two hours to review bills before they come to floor.

• Give members the ability to offer more amendments on the House floor.

• Create an investigative committee to probe the “weaponization” of the federal government.

• Restore the Holman rule, which can be used to reduce the salary of government officials.

Here is how the 21 holdouts fared:

• Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona will keep his spots on the powerful Judiciary and Oversight committees. He was also named chairman of Judiciary's subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance.

• Rep. Dan Bishop of North Carolina will continue to serve on both the Judiciary and Homeland Security committees. McCarthy also named Bishop to Judiciary's new subcommittee on the "Weaponization of the Federal Government."

• Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado was awarded a seat on the Oversight and Accountability Committee, which plans to launch numerous investigations into the Biden administration. She will continue to serve on the Natural Resources panel, on which she served in the previous Congress.

• Rep. Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma won seats on the Homeland Security Committee and Budget committees.

• Rep. Mike Cloud of Texas won a new seat on the powerful Appropriations Committee, which controls federal spending. McCarthy also named him to the new select committee investigating the origins of the Covid pandemic.

• Rep. Andrew Clyde of Georgia will serve for the first time on Appropriations.

• Rep. Eli Crane of Arizona will serve on the Homeland Security Committee.

• Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida was named by McCarthy as the "speaker's designee" on the influential Steering Committee, which decides which lawmakers get committee gavels and seats. Donalds also won a coveted spot on the Financial Services Committee, a top panel known on Capitol Hill as an "A" committee.

• Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida will continue to serve on the Judiciary panel and was appointed by McCarthy to the new weaponization subcommittee.

• Rep. Bob Good of Virginia will serve on the Budget and Education and Workforce committees.

• Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona was named chairman of the Natural Resources subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations.

• Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland will continue to serve on the Appropriations panel. Harris, a physician, will be the chairman of the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration subcommittee.

• Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida won seats on the Oversight and Natural Resources panels.

• Rep. Mary Miller of Illinois remain on the Agriculture Committee.

• Rep. Ralph Norman of South Carolina was named by the speaker as one of nine Republicans on the Rules Committee. Norman also will remain on the Financial Services panel, which he joined in June, and will serve on the Budget Committee too.

• Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee won a seat on Financial Services.

• Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, the chairman of the far-right House Freedom Caucus who brokered a deal between conservatives and McCarthy, will remain on the Foreign Affairs Committee. A subject of January 6th investigation, Perry won a new seat on the Oversight committee.

• Rep. Matt Rosendale of Montana will continue to serve on Natural Resources.

• Rep. Chip Roy of Texas, who along with Perry helped negotiate a deal with McCarthy, was tapped to serve on the Budget committee and the influential Rules Committee. Roy will also keep his seat on the Judiciary panel.

• Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas will serve on the Foreign Affairs panel.

• Rep. Victoria Spartz of Indiana will continue to serve on the Judiciary panel.

Many of these Congressmen are freshmen and yet were assigned to important committees and positions. Non-holdout Trump supporter Marjorie Taylor Green was put on the Homeland Security Committee, while Congressmen like Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell were removed from important committees.

The Congressmen appointed to important committees are all Trump people, and the committees they were appointed to all involve important issues we are currently facing.

• Agriculture Committee.

  • We all know China and Bill Gates have been buying up US farmland. Food manufacturing plants have burned to the ground. Animal DNA is being altered and I wouldn’t be surprised if vaccines are being put into our food and water supply.

• Natural Resources Committee

  • The first thing Biden did when he took office was to make us energy dependent again.

• Crime and Federal Government Surveillance

  • Keeping tabs on the people who keep tabs on us.

• Homeland Security Committee

  • The border, drug trafficking, human trafficking, illegal entry.

• Other committees are looking into the Biden Family corruption, the origin of COVID-19, financial crimes and J6.

One can understand all the panic since 1/7/23. There are 49 real Americans that have been unleashed to take down the Deep State Cabal and they are being led by Donald J Trump. It’s easy to comprehend why the pace has picked up so dramatically.

Others are playing their parts as well. Elon Musk buying Twitter has been huge and will continue to play an even bigger role in exposing the corruption and waking up the masses.

Something I find interesting—and people can take from it what they want—is that, during the recession 14 years ago, at the bottom of the stock market in March of 2009, the S&P 500 bottomed out at 666. In my opinion, this was the Satanic Cabal’s way of letting people know who controls things.

From the point Musk stated his intentions to buy Twitter on 4/14/22 to 1/7/23, the day of the concessions, Tesla’s stock price fell about 66.6% in value. Since 1/7/23, Tesla’s stock price is up around 86% in value, as I write this. Maybe the 666’s are coincidences, maybe not. Whether you like Musk, trust him or not, buying Twitter has been a kick in the groin with steel toe boots to the cabal. I read Tesla’s quick recovery as a sign the cabal no longer has as much control.

A lot of us have been saying ‘the White Hats are in control, the White Hats are in control,’ to the dismay of many frustrated people. While I do believe the Patriots have been in control for quite a while, I believe that, because of the concessions, the Deep State now knows there is no escape from the trap that was set.

The Deep State has lost almost all control.

I think we’re at the part in the film Goodfellas where the mobsters at the top start whacking the underlings involved in the Lufthansa Heist, so they can’t testify against them.

By the way, care to guess the name of the airport where the heist took place?

JFK International.
