A Storm is Brewing
Trump is a master persuader.
When he spoke cryptically of the “calm before the storm” during a signing ceremony mere weeks before the first Q drop, he knew that the mainstream media (MSM) would go into a frenzy trying to paint him as “crazy” over it. In the martial arts style known as aikido, the goal is to use your opponent’s force against them, and that’s exactly what Trump did by making that comment—he knew he could count on the MSM to boost the signal he wanted to send to the world, that a storm indeed is gathering on the horizon.
Ironically, if the MSM didn’t behave like predictable NPCs, then maybe they’d stand a chance against him. Too bad for them—and lucky for the rest of us—that they appear unable and/or unwilling reign in their own hubris. Though they hate Trump with a passion, in many ways they are responsible for giving him the power he now wields in the culture war. All they had to do was ignore him, but they simply couldn’t help themselves.
It's no coincidence that his comments regarding an oncoming storm were made right before Q appeared on the scene, confirming for all of us that, yes, a storm is coming.
In posts 1602 and 2543, Q mentions the phrase “white squall”, which appears to confirm not only the existence of the storm, but also its fundamental characteristics and features.
There are many ‘comms’ embedded within this phrase, as it not only refers to a specific type of storm formation, but also refers to a movie of the same name. In other words, we’re dealing with multi-layered communication—and it behooves us to unpack as many of the layers as we can.
What is a Squall?
Put simply, a squall is a sudden, violent windstorm at sea—usually it’s accompanied by black clouds, except when the squall is white. A white squall is a very rare type of weather event, with tremendous destructive capacity—fittingly, tidal waves in general are used to symbolize the destruction of “life as we know it” in popular culture. Not only that, but many people report having experienced recurring dreams of tidal waves, suggesting that the symbolism of waves reaches very deep into the collective psyche of humanity. (If one simply searches for “tidal wave dreams,” one will find article after article talking about what such dreams could mean.)
One consistent interpretation is that tidal waves and storms represent fundamental change—as in, a full spectrum transformation of life and reality itself. Of course, these interpretations of the meaning behind white squall are fairly easy to derive. Though they are undoubtedly part of the whole picture, we want to probe deeper into the symbolism.
Why did Q refer to a white squall instead of a “regular” tidal wave or some other massive, transformative weather event such as a hurricane? Since a white squall involves sudden winds, we can reasonably surmise that Q is trying to tell us something about the element of air (among other things). What could this be referring to?
We know that the cabal engages in all sorts of occult practices, including but not limited to divination by Tarot symbolism, wherein the air element is (usually) regarded as the suit of swords, and generally has to do with intellect and processes whereby the truth about a matter may be determined. If you think about it, does Truth not cut through lies, when properly wielded? Could a sudden burst of wind refer to a rapid distribution of truthful information? DECLAS, perhaps?
A Storm of Truth
When a white squall takes place, the sudden burst of wind leads to a tidal wave—if we follow the symbolism, this implies that massive waves will rise as a consequence of the distribution of Truth. Indeed, the mass proliferation of the Truth is the most destructive event possible for an empire built on lies. Truth, by its very nature, is antagonistic to falsehood, and vice versa. Once the wind kicks up the waves, so to speak, there’s no turning back.
Perhaps one of the most profound dividing lines between people in the present world is the division between those who “subscribe” (for lack of a better word) to the empire of lies vs those who, at minimum, know they’re being lied to and are striving to learn and know real truth, come what may. This dividing line is so profound that it cuts through almost all parts of society—entire families are being “divided” because the emergence of truth forces people to either change their mind, or double down on whatever lies they believe.
Consider what Jesus said in Matthew 10:34-36
34Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35For I have come to set a man against this father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household.
It is not our intention to literally claim that Jesus is here, right now, causing all of this. Instead, we are analyzing this at a symbolic level. For all intents and purposes, Jesus = the Truth, and thus, if we apply what we’ve just learned thus far about the symbolism of air and swords, then it makes perfect sense that he wields a sword that divides people, according to their disposition toward Truth. This is a perfect metaphor for what’s taking place in the socio-cultural landscape as we speak.
In sum: a white squall, on one level, probably refers to an event in which the Truth becomes rapidly distributed throughout the population (sudden winds), leading to a full-spectrum transformation of society (tidal wave). We’re not surfing small waves here, nor are we dealing with gentle breezes—we’re talking about sudden blasts of wind force leading to tidal waves.
But this is only one level on which Q is communicating. There are several purposes for this ‘comm’, one of which is to propose a guiding narrative to assist anons in dealing with the oncoming storm.
The Plot of White Squall Gives Us a Narrative to Understand Our Part in the 5G War
White Squall uses the archetype of the Hero’s Journey in a very specific way that applies fittingly to the situation faced by Trump, Q, and the rest of us anons. To understand this properly, we will refer to the description of the Hero’s Journey provided in the book many consider to be the primary text on the subject, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, by Joseph Campbell. Campbell tells us that, in the journey:
A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered, and a decisive victory is won; the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.
You can’t have a hero’s journey from within the confines of your comfort zone, or within familiar territory. A hero must face the unknown, which is necessarily imbued with supernatural and/or magical qualities by virtue of its unfamiliarity. The journey is undertaken because a compelling reason to embark upon it has presented itself—this is often known as the “call” to adventure. In some cases, the hero must transgress the norms of their society in order to answer the call; in other cases, the hero finds themselves on the journey, not fully understanding how they got there in the first place.
A Leader and His Crew
The plot of White Squall revolves around a rag tag group of boys who are invited to go on an adventure at sea, led by a man named Skipper Sheldon. Out at sea, they must learn how to work together and overcome all of the challenges thrown at them by the forces of nature. The boys find themselves in unknown territory and the only way to make it home is to coordinate amongst themselves sufficiently to run their ship. Each one of them must overcome their own internal challenges in order to become part of the team—and they need to act as a team or else they will perish. Skipper helps them accomplish this by serving as the captain of the crew—by, among other things, providing marching orders and guidance.
Let’s compare this to the situation faced by anons in the real world.
Before Trump and Q arrived, there was already a “truth movement”, but the movement has been plagued by competing factions and egos (which may largely be the result of infiltration by agitators, but our points here stand nonetheless). Anons are a bit like the “trouble children” of society, insofar as they refuse to conform to the cultural dictates of mainstream society—anons are, by nature, high in the psychological trait known as disagreeability, which partly accounts for their independent mindedness. This is a double-edged sword, for on the one hand it makes them the cream of the crop when it comes to independent research, however it also means that they are more prone to “do their own thing” instead of being part of an effective team.
What anons needed was a sufficiently strong leader around whom they could rally and coordinate—just like how the boys in White Squall needed Skipper to help them become a team. Though it’s not politically correct to point this out, the fact of the matter is that the 4chan board where Q posted is a rather “masculine” space, and nothing short of a strong masculine leader would do. It’s no coincidence that the archetypes of Trump and Skipper bear a great resemblance to each other.
A New Kind of Hero
Whereas most Hero’s Journeys tend to focus on an individual as the main character, the story of White Squall makes heroes out of all the “anons” who joined the voyage. In other words, all the boys and their leader together comprise the “hero” of that story. It may sound almost blindingly obvious at this point, but the “boon” these heroes brought back to “normal” society was a capacity for self-improvement and teamwork that they didn’t have prior to their voyage. The significance of this is easy to miss.
Consider the fact that the cabal’s main weapon against the masses are narratives that divide people with the aim of rendering them incapable of working together. The only possible counter for this situation is for a group of independent researchers and citizen journalists to form a united opposition against these machinations of the cabal. Put bluntly, Trump and Q have been teaching the anons how to coordinate effectively upon a vast, unpredictable, dynamic sea of information.
Remember that neither Trump nor the Q team are at liberty to simply come out and say, “hey everybody, there’s a top secret military operation going on right now!”
They’re not in a position to openly give us the specifics on what’s going on. Hence, comms are coordinated to provide self-selected anons the necessary means to put the pieces together—enabling them to navigate the landscape of the present 5G war. In more ways than initially meets the eye, White Squall is a story-metaphor that describes this process.
Though anons in the real world have been unfairly discredited and demonized by “polite” society, the reality is that they are the ones who—by virtue of their voyage into the unknown, and for the purposes of rescuing their nation—have learned the very information and skills necessary to rescue the world from total enslavement by the New World Order.
Skipper on Trial
Skipper—just like Trump—finds himself on trial at the very end of the movie, and is ultimately rescued by his crew, who continue to stand by him despite the fact that “polite society” wishes to penalize him for taking the boys on this adventure. Not only does this symbolize the fact that society is not yet ready to partake in the gifts that anons have to give to the world, but it rather blatantly predicts the current situation in which Trump finds himself.
Nonetheless, at the conclusion of the trial, Skippers crew stand by him—much in the same way that the anons of the world have stood by Trump.
But instead of literally standing next to him in the courtroom, anons stand by him by continuing to piece together Q proofs, by continuing to research the facts of his presidency and fight against the cabal, and by making their findings public. It is their unity in this mission that ultimately redeems not only Skipper, but the voyage itself.
Conclusion, For Now
There is much more to the ‘comm’ of White Squall than we’ve covered here. There will always be more to these comms than meets the eye—but, suffice to say, the references Q has made to White Squall appear to, at minimum, tell us much about not only the nature of the oncoming storm, but also of the significance of our participation in current events as they unfold.
There are many other potential layers of meaning to explore here—readers are encouraged to dig to their hearts content on this and all other Q comms.
White Squall is not a movie about a lone hero, but rather about the formation of a heroic brotherhood. It shows us that we need all hands on deck in order to steer our “ship” in the midst of the present 5G war—the mission is not about any one of us individually, but about all of us working together to serve the truth and the mission to restore America to greatness.

Wonderful article and much needed. I’m always disappointed when anons/truthers/patriots criticize one another. United we stand…divided we fall. We must put ego aside and focus on our mission…to take part and pride in Making America Great Again…and forever.
Well done! ❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Hi American Hypnotist !
Regarding "the mission is not about any one of us individually, but about all of us working together to serve the truth and the mission to restore America to greatness"
I do support the goal to restore America to greatness as long as it implies to restore the WHOLE WORLD to the TRUTH and in a more peaceful way like an improved form of inter-national collaboration, a more harmonious and equitable development of all peoples, at their own pace of evolution.
I hope America could lead this tidal wave of change, but might also help other countries to become new POWERS of the Truth ...
May God permit and help us to make this goal a new reality !
