“Did your friends tell you that all the passengers were taken off the plane and all returned save one?”
No one was returned to the plane with the defective radio. Crews have passengers taken off all the time, they don’t use hijack alerts to do it.
If they thought it was a hostage situation or some other security breach, they would have removed passengers. The story is one of the passengers didn't reboard. That plane or another one. I had heard it was the original plane.
Also, it seems if it was a an inadvertent button pushing error, why wouldn't the passengers reboard the same plane?
You really don't smell something fishy?

“Have you seriously not seen the list of 40k sealed indictments floating around FR?”
Ah yes, the sealed indictments. The very nature of which means you have no idea who they are for or what they are related to. Which means they aren’t actually evidence of anything.
“Get on the Trump Train, fella.”
It is quite possible to support Trump while not getting suckered by the fraud known as “Q”.
“p.s. Trust Sessions, while you’re at it.”
LMAO, nope, Sessions has proven time and again that he is a chump, even Trump himself has publicly acknowledged it. Yet more proof that your beloved Q doesn’t know what the hell he is talking about.
“Read the latest Q post dated July 4. Q addresses tht”
What? Did he finally acknowledge 8 months later that he is just a fraud making stuff up? Or is just making more excuses?
“I speak Q, let me decipher.”
No thanks. He made his predictions in plain english, very specific, with dates. They were false. He’s proven himself to be full of it. We don’t need a secret decoder ring to figure that out.
“THINK THINK THINK.”
Yes, I THINK he is a liar and fraud. That’s the simplest and most logical conclusion. You can keep up with the pretzel logic that is needed to come to another conclusion and we’ll see how that works out for you after maybe another year or so of failed predictions.
“it sure makes you wonder why he would acknowledge him in that way”
Trump is a politician. Going to rallies and “working the crowd” is part of his job, you know.
If you have to grasp at that straw to say that by simply greeting and being friendly to fans at a rally Trump was “acknowledging Q”, it’s a sign of desperation and pretty darn hilarious, I think.
“Ask yourself why Q would post “disinformation.””
Sorry, but I’m not going to accept that excuse for his failed predictions. Failed predictions are failures that point to him being a fraud and a liar, not “disinformation”.
“Well, to be perfectly honest, he did go down into the crowd and stood next to Q t-shirt guy for a photo.”
Except the video shows him walking down a path lined with barricades, not wading into the crowd, and it also shows him taking the time to greet a whole bunch of people in the crowd. You know, like politicians do, the good ones at least.
Trying to make it out like he specifically did this to “acknowledge” one idiot in a Q t-shirt is completely laughable.
Yeah, except it was a screenshot AND a link to the post in an archive of all his posts, so the only one losing credibility is you, by trying to desperately deny a verified Q post that the more knowledgeable “Q believers” around here can’t deny is from him.
Sorry, couldn't find the bunny this morning...
“Go check out the latest Q proof. Seems he posted a picture of the Presidential Office on Air Force One.
How did he do that? BTW, I’m not talking about the stock photo, but the Apple reflection photo that matches up PERFECTLY with the office photo.”
You mean the photo that looks like he just stole from an old ABC article and manipulated it? Yeah, great proof right there.

The ‘Q’ Phenomenon
By Joshua Philipp, The Epoch Times
July 2, 2018 7:07 pm Last Updated: July 3, 2018 10:14 am
A single letter has begun appearing on billboards near highways across the United States and on t-shirts at Trump rallies, and it has become an internet sensation among many conservatives.
“Q” represents a mysterious individual, or group of individuals, who began in October 2017 posting online updates on secret actions allegedly taken by the Trump administration to purge corruption from the United States and the world.
Most of the mainstream news outlets have written Q off as a conspiracy theory, but the constant barrage of anti-Trump articles and newscasts have damaged these outlets’ credibility with Q’s constituency. The claims have done little to stop the momentum of the growing movement. The Q posts began on the 4Chan message board, known for its absence of censorship—in ways both good and bad—but later moved to a similar board on 8Chan for alleged security concerns. The posts also appear regularly under the #QAnon hashtag on Twitter and are a topic of coverage for many conservative YouTubers. Even celebrities such as Rosanne Barr have commented on the Q posts.
If the Q posts are real, they may indicate that the Trump administration has established an alternate channel to speak to supporters, bypassing news outlets and social media altogether for something more direct. The validity of the channel has not been confirmed or denied by the administration.
However, apparent confirmation of the connection of the Q posts to the Trump administration has been provided through the cross-posting of keywords with President Donald Trump’s Twitter account.
U.S. intelligence agencies are known to use official Twitter accounts to send coded messages. For example, The New York Times reported on Feb. 2 that the National Security Agency had used its official Twitter account nearly a dozen times to send coded messages to a potential source in Russia.
Updates
To gain a deeper insight into this phenomenon, I contacted the moderator of a private Q discussion group on Facebook. The individual is a former U.S. government security adviser, but asked to not be named out of concern he would be attacked by leftist groups.
He said Q represents alleged updates on the promises made by Trump from the beginning of his campaign to “drain the swamp” by purging corruption, expose the “fake news media,” and stand up to globalist and special interest groups. The moderator pointed to a video from one of Trump’s early rallies, which he said fairly sums up the nature of the Q posts. In the video, Trump said, “Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment, with a new government controlled by you, the American people.
“The Washington establishment, and the financial and media corporations that fund it, exist for only one reason: to protect and enrich itself.”
Trump then went on to explain the relations between global special interest groups, major news outlets, large corporations, and political corruption. He said that his campaign “represents a true existential threat” to this corrupt system, and, addressing Americans, said, “We will take back this country for you, and we will make America great again.”
According to the moderator, the analysis and insight in the Q posts are among the more significant parts for those who follow them. He said many of the predictive posts are “always well-timed, always on the ball, and so far always correct.”
Open-Source Intel
Many Q posts are written as somewhat coded messages, which can be interpreted in many different ways, and allude to alleged actions of the Trump administration to meet these promises.
The posts have their own code words, where “BHO,” for example, is used instead of “Barack Hussein Obama,” “BC” instead of “Bill Clinton,” and so on. The posts often point to incidents that have taken place and give context to those incidents, and also give leads on incidents that are unfolding or allegedly are still to come in the near future. The moderator noted that this method of providing information to the general public makes sense from the perspective of U.S. intelligence agencies, since by alluding to information using keywords and leads—rather than through direct explanations—it likely wouldn’t violate laws on leaking classified intelligence.
“It’s open-source intel,” he said. “It’s done in a way that doesn’t violate federal laws on classified material.” Many of the Q posts are also based on open-source information so that people following them can themselves do research and draw their own conclusions; others that are predictive or based on alleged classified information take more of a leap of faith.
Some information can be verified, while other information is more contextual. A recent post, for example, pointed to the unusually large number of sealed indictments at the Justice Department. Normally, the number of sealed indictments each year is close to 1,000. Currently, the number of sealed indictments since October is over 40,000. ‘Guard Against Ignorance’
If it is true that corruption has found its way into U.S. politics, intelligence agencies, legacy news outlets, and other groups, the moderator said, then in this context, it would make sense that the Trump administration would open an alternate channel to communicate with Americans on how it is cleaning things out.
There are many theories on who is behind Q. Among the more common beliefs is that Q stands for Q security clearance, the highest level of clearance within the Department of Energy. Others believe it refers to “Q” from the James Bond films, a figure who supports Bond as he fights a global corrupt shadow group. The moderator, however, believes Q refers to “Quartermaster” and that it could refer to any leader in the Trump administration.
He said, “Q is the quartermaster of America.” He pointed to a series of quotes from America’s founding fathers. These include a quote from Thomas Jefferson stating, “If we are to guard against ignorance and remain free, it is the responsibility of every American to be informed.” Another, from George Washington, states, “Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pain taken to bring it to light.”
“Those quotes are exactly what Q is all about,” the moderator said. “We need to wake people up.” He noted that it’s difficult to turn on news channels these days such as CNN for even five minutes without hearing something negative against Trump, and that in this context, “maybe [Trump] and some people around him decided they wanted a backup channel from Twitter and Facebook, and Q is the backup.”

Agreed. Hence, the word "sealed" But it is evidence of something being afoot, wouldn't you say? 40k as opposed to 1K?
Sleepy Sessions is up to SOMETHING, right?
It is quite possible to support Trump while not getting suckered by the fraud known as “Q”.
That's what YOU say. If you believe, like I do, that Q is a Trump authorized operation, then it follows that if you are working AGAINST the Q operation, like you are, that you are working against Trump.
So I say again, get on the Trump Train, fella.
Only one of us is right. Time will tell. I'll expect your groveling apology when I'm proven right, goodman.
Sessions has proven time and again that he is a chump, even Trump himself has publicly acknowledged it.
Again, since I believe in Q, and Q said, "Trust Sessions" I must then trust Sessions. See above comment for further information.When Q dumps Sessions or I cease to believe in Q, then I will dump Sessions.
Your turn.
Bagster
Yes, You're right. It's always best to go with the simplest conclusion. Meanwhile, the evidence piles up to the contrary. Best to ignore all of it, right?
Your brain is a wonderment.
Bagster
Well, based on my observation and advanced sense of humor, let me start by saying that I don't trust your sense of humor, since I've noted none yet. So what you find "hilarious" is irrelevant to me.
Again, taken alone, the President's acknowledging of "Q t-shirt guy" is, as you say, proof of nothing. But taken with all the other proofs combined and considering the "big picture" (I know it's hard to think of more than one thing at once and analyse it) it IS relevant.
It requires you to "Expand your thinking" like The Donald's operative Q would say.
Bagster
Agree to disagree. Q has also said, "The choice to know is yours."
You choose not to know. You have chosen.
Simple, one dimensional thinkers prefer the blue pill. I get it.
I still like you. booger. :)
Bagster
Point taken, and it's a fair point. And it would have more weight if he didn't acknowledge Q in so many other ways, even at rallies. It's all out there if you care to look. I can't hold your hand and spoon feed you.
Bagster
So you're going with the "Apple reflection is fake" theory?
You do know the "stock" photo was posted by anons to compare the "reflection" photo to and prove it was taken on Air Force One, right? Or maybe you don't. Maybe you think Q posted the Trump sitting at the desk photo.
There is so much you don't get. But if you start with the basic premise that Q is fake, this is where you end up.
And yes, it is a great proof. One of many.
An open, analytical mind is required for this stuff, goodman. Give it a shot.
Bagster
Bagster, just what do you think “Q” is?
Your a nice enough fellow but this stuff makes no sense.
