| Bust of Socrates in the Vatican (public domain) |
The Greek philosopher Socrates taught students by asking them questions, and some law schools use the Socratic Method to teach their students. It develops critical thinking, reasoning and logic. You can read about it here.
About a year ago, I desired a way to discuss spiritual topics without "preaching" and being annoying, and I realized I needed to learn to ask questions. I had done that once with someone who had very different political views from mine, and the conversation was quite civil.
Within a few days of having those thoughts, I found1 the qmap website [dead link]2, which aggregates postings from a particular person claiming to have insider knowledge from the Trump Administration. I will leave it to my readers to decide whether or not that information is reliable; it is not the topic of this post. I bring it up here because that poster used the Socratic Method, and I found the question-asking technique very compelling. It was also an answer to prayer, and I began using the method myself. (Whether I am doing it right, or not, will be for others to decide. I am always open to coaching!)
Over the years, I noticed many things in the Bible and wanted to discuss them with others, but I generally found most people needed "milk" rather than "solid food". I remained silent about those subjects on this blog, until now.
This post is an effort to broach some of those topics and to get my readers to think critically about them. Please consider this a friendly challenge and ponder the questions I have posed, below. You may discover some very interesting things...

1The day I discovered the "qmap" site was Yom Kippur, 2018 (September 19). I began writing this post last evening, October 8, 2019. Today, the day I am finishing and posting it, is Yom Kippur, 2019. (So was last evening; Jewish days begin at sundown.) I did not plan this; it just happened.
What is Yom Kippur? What is its significance? What were the Israelites called to do on Yom Kippur? What are we called to do today? Repent? All glory to God!
UPDATE, March 16, 2021...
2The qmap website is no longer operational because the owner was pressured to take it down. There are other aggregation websites, however. https://qanon.pub is probably the most reliable. I find https://operationq.pub to be quite useful.
UPDATE, August 16, 2021...
4The "apfn" website has not loaded for me for a long time. Try this one instead... http://www.usavsus.info.
UPDATE, November 3, 2021...
5It's looking more and more like [P] is probably the Pope, or more accurately the Pontiff. Please consider studying article #2044 at https://annavonreitz.com, which was apparently written circa October, 2019.
Also note the date in the title of article #2041. Compare that date, and the contents of that article, with the date and contents of this 'Undeserving' post. I don't believe in coincidences. Not anymore.
UPDATES, March 15 and 16, 2022...
Added pictures for many of the Google Earth GPS references, and some related comments. I understand most people are not going to take the time to download the Google Earth app and spend time copying and pasting locations. Once they see what is actually there, however, perhaps they will make the effort.
UPDATE, July 22, 2022...
The particular person(s) claiming to have insider knowledge from the Trump Administration began posting again in June, but then stopped. Around that time, the fiduciary of The United States of America (Anna von Reitz) was clearly rebuking Trump and "the White Hats," or "Alliance" to stand down and properly respect the actual American Government. The posts ceased at that point. Subsequent communications from Anna indicate the criminality is continuing unabated.
I am convinced Trump was working with the U.S. Military, a British-controlled mercenary force, to attack MUNICIPAL United States corporations and personnel, just as they have been doing since the American "Civil War" (mercenary conflict) in the 1860's. They also made a big deal of attacking pedophiles, human traffickers, and the political "Left," but the promised "Storm" never materialized and criminality has continued to run amok. The Media is still pumping out foreign propaganda on our shores, pharmaceutical corporations continue to poison people with viper venom, election fraud has not been fixed, and there is no indication the military is ever going to submit to their civilian employers. My cautious hopes have turned into jaundiced disgust.
Satan will throw his own worshipers "under the bus" without a care. He hates everybody.
None of this is escaping the eyes of the Creator of the Universe. I stand with Him.
UPDATE, August 11, 2022...
Somebody put a timeline together suggesting possible answers to some of the questions I raised in the main text, above. You can peruse it here.
It is all the opinion of the writer, of course. Is it all true? Probably not. Is some of it true? Probably. We must all decide for ourselves what we think is right.
What is "antisemitism?"
Who pushes antisemitism?
Who really pushes antisemitism?
Why do they do that?
One thing is certain. The Media is owned by powerful people, and they use it for their own purposes.
UPDATE, November 6, 2022...
According to the Fiduciary of The United States of America...
I am encouraged in recent days to report that the arrest of corrupt Judges is actually taking place.
The Brigadier Generals who are typically in charge of the quasi-military court system that has dominated our “occupied” country for a hundred and sixty years, are finally waking up.
The JAG Officers occupying the vacated positions of our own Provost Marshals are jerking awake, too.
When the presiding Prosecutor was asked to explain the documented fact that a man’s court case had been converted into a bond and was being actively traded, the presiding Judge in one of our recent cases came unglued.
Oh, there wasn’t anything like that going on!
There was no conflict of interest. The Officers of the court weren’t colluding to benefit themselves and foreign interests. They weren’t placing side bets against Defendants who were at their mercy to feather their own pensions and benefits, oh, no.
But they were, and the evidence of this criminal breach of trust was firmly placed in front of that judge the whole time he was ranting about our incompetence and failure to understand reality, our conspiracy theories and ignorance of the law....
A couple days later six armed military MPs shut that court down and took the Judge, the Bailiff, and several Court Clerks into custody. They locked the courthouse doors. That Judge and the other Court Officers and the evidence to convict them are now before a military Court Martial. And things are not looking good for them.
These isolated single victories may not seem like much. A single Judge gets removed from the bench. Big deal. It doesn’t seem like much when hundreds of thousands of people are still being abused by these courts every day of every week—- but it is a start.
We expect this case will finally blow the lid off the Court Bond Scandal and remove the profit motive that these courts have to secure convictions against people who shouldn’t even be addressed by these courts.
And the word will spread through the Bar Associations and Blogs and coffee klatsches that the military is on the move and doing it’s job at last. (Source: #3856, http://annavonreitz.com/longnight.pdf)
It should be noted that there have still been no further "Q Drops" since the seven in June. They can be tracked at https://qanon.pub
This is all good news.

Are you ready to take back control?
Your vote matters.
You have all the tools you need.
Q
White hats have secured many systems, but problems still remain.
You have all the tools you need.
Vote.
Q
Is that all you've got??!!! Vote???
Voting is not going to change anything. Yes, the voting systems are not secure and they are corrupt, but it is not the mechanisms that are at fault. It's the fundamentals that matter.
Shiny objects. Mr. Trump has always been a shiny object. So are the elections. So are most things in this world. We are so easily distracted by things that are not important and do not matter.
I have learned a LOT. Thank you, Yeshua!!!!!!!
If we have others do our work for us, they will not work for us. We must carry our own water. We must do things for ourselves. Putting our faith in men will always disappoint.
I put my faith in Yeshua, and I follow Him. He has led me out of the confusion and helped me see past the shiny objects. He knows what he's doing. I trust Him.
We'll see what happens.......
UPDATE, October 21, 2023...
3Please forgive me, but does this image look like the cross section of a woman's breast to you? It does to me, and knowing the significance of this location it makes sense that it would. God is in control of all things, and it would be just like Him to have His People come out of the sea to immediately "suckle" at His "breast." Amazing.
