Q has reminded us repeatedly that together, we are strong. As the false "narrative" is destroyed and the divisive machinery put in place by the Deep State fails, the fact that patriotism has no skin color or political party is exposed for all to see.

Mental Enslavement.
The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but, more importantly, aid in the construction of a vehicle (a ‘ship’) that provides the scattered (‘free thinkers’) with a ‘starter’ new social-networking platform which allows for freedom of thought, expression, and patriotism or national pride (the feeling of love, devotion and sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment).
When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or the stable.
When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’.
"Free thought" is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma.
When you are awake, you are able to clearly see.
The choice is yours, and yours alone.
Trust and put faith in yourself.
You are not alone and you are not in the minority.
Difficult truths will soon see the light of day.

In the battle between those who strip us our constitutional rights, we can't afford to let false divisions separate us any longer. We, and our country, will be forever made stronger by diligently seeking the truth, independence and freedom of thought.

Here's a clip:
U.S. physicians received more than $12 billion in payments from the pharmaceutical and medical device industry over a 10-year period, according to a new analysis.
A research letter published on March 28 in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that the industry made over 85 million payments to more than 820,300 (57 percent) of eligible physicians across 39 specialties from 2013 to 2022. Nearly 94 percent of the payments were related to one or more marketed medical products.
Researchers examined data in the Open Payments database to determine what payments were made across different specialties and the medical products associated with the largest total payments. Data only included payments received for consulting, nonconsulting (such as speaker or faculty fees), travel, food, entertainment, education, gifts, grants, charitable contributions, and honoraria. The Open Payments database is a federal transparency program that was established in 2013 out of concern that financial relationships between physicians and the industry were unduly influencing healthcare decision-making and costs.
The analysis found that payments varied considerably between specialties and among physicians of the same specialty. For example, the mean amount paid to the top 0.1 percent of physicians ranged from $194,933 for hospitalists to $4.8 million for orthopedic surgeons, while the payments to the median physicians ranged from zero to $2,339. Orthopedic physicians received the greatest sum of payments, $1.4 billion, followed by neurologists and psychiatrists, $1.3 billion, cardiologists, $1.3 billion, and hematologists/oncologists, $825.8 million. Nearly 55 percent of pediatricians and 63 percent of infectious disease physicians received payments from the industry, while physicians practicing preventative medicine received the least sum of payments.
“From 2013–2022, pharma paid 12 billion dollars to U.S. physicians. That’s mind-boggling. Insane. That’s how silence is bought, the minds of physicians influenced, and ultimately patient care/prescribing patterns influenced,” Dr. Manni Mohyuddin, an oncologist, hematologist, and assistant professor at the Huntsman Cancer Institute, told The Epoch Times.

Open Payments,
a federal transparency program reporting industry-physician financial relationships since 2013, was established out of concern for undue industry influence on health care decision-making and costs.
1. The effect of Open Payments is not fully understood. We sought to determine trends in physician-level payments to evaluate whether the implementation of Open Payments has been associated with a decrease in the prevalence or value of physicians’ interactions with industry.
Methods
We performed a retrospective, population-based cohort study of US allopathic and osteopathic physicians practicing in 2014 per the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System, excluding other clinicians (eg, nurses, dentists) and physicians activating or deactivating their records between 2014 and 2018.
Specialties were grouped by Medicare Data on Provider Practice and Specialty taxonomy classifications: primary care, medical specialty, surgical specialty, obstetrics/gynecology, hospital-based specialty, and psychiatry. National Plan and Provider Enumeration System and Open Payments identifiers were linked by text string using cross-referenced files from the beginning and end of the period.
Open Payments data on general (nonresearch) industry payments between January 2014 and December 2018 (excluding 2013 because of partial-year reporting:
2) were matched to the 2014 physician cohort.
Payments were aggregated per physician annually, then categorized by cumulative aggregate value (≤$10 000; $10 001-$25 000; $25 001-$50 000; $50 001-$100 000; $100 001-$500 000; and >$500 000). Values were adjusted to the 2018 Consumer Price Index.3
Outcomes included proportion of physicians receiving payments, and total and median/mean annual per-physician payment values. Total-value trends were tested using linear regression. Trends in proportions of physicians receiving payments and annual per-physician payment values were tested using logistic and linear generalized estimating equations, respectively, controlling for physician-level correlation, with year as the independent variable.
Analyses were stratified by specialty group and aggregate value of payment category. Two-sided P values (α < .05) were applied to tests using SPSS version 26 (IBM Inc). This study was exempted from review by the Mount Sinai institutional review board.
Results
Of the 2014 cohort of 878 308 physicians, 458 269 (52.2%) received at least 1 payment in 2014, declining to 394 991 (45.0%) in 2018 (Table 1), representing a relative overall decrease of −13.8% and relative annual decrease of −3.5% (95% CI, −3.5% to −3.4%).
From 2014 to 2018, these physicians received 49.8 million payments totaling $9.3 billion. The total value was highest in medical and surgical specialties ($3.4 and $3.9 billion in aggregate, respectively). The annual proportion of physicians receiving payments decreased over time across all specialties. However, total and annual payment values remained stable across specialties except for primary care, for which total value decreased.
In 2014-2018, 90.1% of physicians who accepted payments received less than $10 000
(Table 2). Among physicians receiving lesser aggregate payments, annual values decreased over time (yearly change: for ≤$10 000, −$11 [95% CI, −$12 to −$11]; for $10 001-$25 000, −$100 [95% CI, −$117 to −$84]; and for $25 001-$50 000, −$135 [95% CI, −$199 to −$71]; P < .001).
Those receiving more than $50 000 accounted for 3.4% of physicians receiving payments but 82% of the total value. For these physicians, annual payment values increased or remained stable over time (yearly change:
for $50 001-$100 000, $42 [95% CI, −$96 to $179]; P = .55; for $100 001-$500 000, $866 [95% CI, $567 to $1165]; P < .001; and for >$500 000, −$8487 [95% CI, −$21 316 to $4342]; P = .20).
Discussion
Since the inception of Open Payments in 2013, the proportion of physicians receiving industry payments decreased across all specialties, while the total value of payments remained stable except for a decrease in primary care. Similar to other studies, surgical and medical specialties received the highest value of payments,
4 and value was concentrated among a minority of physicians.
5 Annual payment values decreased for physicians receiving lower-value total payments (≤$50 000), potentially due to transparency,1 organizational restrictions on industry interactions,1 or decreased direct-to-physician marketing.
6 Physicians receiving higher-value total payments (>$50 000) continued to receive similar or greater amounts, perhaps reflecting evolving industry strategy that concentrates payments, for which greater return on investment is anticipated.
Study limitations include unmeasured confounding such as physician or market factors. Prevalence of payments are underestimated, because Open Payments only reports certain payment types and the analysis is limited to general payments.
Prevalence and value of payments may be overestimated or underestimated because of misattribution of data to a physician or specialty. Additionally, these data are generalizable only to allopathic and osteopathic physicians.

Top International Virologist Issues Dire Warning: “Massive, Massive Tsunami of Death Among Highly Vaccinated…is Imminent”
By Cullen Linebarger Apr. 2, 2024 3:40
A world-leading virologist has issued a shocking warning to the American public that a “massive tsunami” of death will soon destroy the global COVID-19 vaccinated population.
As Slay News reported, the bone-chilling warning was issued by Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche, a respected Belgian virologist, during an appearance on the KunstlerCast podcast, which is hosted by James Kunstler, on Friday.
Dr. Bossche is certified in both Virology and Microbiology and is the inventor of a patent application for universal vaccines. He has also authored over 30 publications and currently works as an independent research consultant.
Dr. Bossche, however, is most famous for warning about the potential dangers of mass vaccination programs amid the COVID-19 pandemic. He warned that the programs could lead to “monster” COVID variants.
The virologist told Kunstler that shortly, a “massive tsunami” of death among the vaccinated would happen. This would start with far more cases of long COVID, which would replace the surge of cancers, and end with a “hyper-acute wave.”
“What I am predicting is a massive, massive tsunami of illness and death among highly vaccinated populations with compromised immune systems, Bossche said. “You will see what will happen, for example, in the next coming week is more and more cases of more serious long Covid.”
“They will start to replace the surge of the cancers,” he continued. “It will end with a hyper-acute phase, a huge, huge wave.”
Dr. Bossche goes on to cite his expertise, noting that he has been studying COVID for four years. He next warned that all layers of society would fall apart during this hyper-acute phase, causing complete chaos.
“The thing I want your audience to understand, what we will be facing in the hyper-acute Covid crisis that is imminent, is that we will have to build a completely new world,” said Bossche.
“It is very, very clear that when this starts, our hospitals will collapse. And that means the chaos in all kinds of layers of society — financial, economic, social, you name it — will be complete.
Dr. Bossche told Kunstler that the best hope for vaccinated individuals to protect themselves is to find a way to avoid reinfection from COVID-19. Given how contagious the virus is, this will prove quite a tall task.
“What I can advise to all these vaccinated people: they need to avoid reinfection,” the doctor said. “It is the reinfection of vaccinated people that is responsible for this situation.”
“The only difference is, you will not be able to wait to take anti-virals until you have symptoms,” he continued. “As soon as people see that in one of the other countries, or one of the other states in the United States when this starts with hospitalizations going up very rapidly, they need to take anti-virals prophylactically, not wait until they have any symptoms.”
Had not heard this:
‘Lara Merchan, the wife of the judge presiding over former President Donald Trump’s “hush money” case in Manhattan, once worked for New York Attorney General Letitia James, who brought the massive $350 million civil fraud case against the former president, with the revelation reviving claims of bias and calls for the judge’s recusal.
Records reviewed by The Epoch Times show that Ms. Merchan worked for 21 years as a Special Assistant to the AG in New York, including three years under Ms. James. She changed jobs over two years ago.’

DIA Director Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn’s opening remarks stressed the importance of maximizing the potential of every employee at DIA.
Q actually didn’t say Flynn is a patriot unless there’s a drop I don’t know about.
But there’s other possible meanings to this drop.
