"Only small secrets need to be protected. The large ones are kept secret by the public's incredulity." - Marshall McLuhanThe media's favorite "hoax" is the Q Anon movement. Is it a joke? Is it dangerous? Who's involved and how did it begin? "Q Anon, An Invitation to The Great Awakening," explains the phenomena with the help of 12 citizen journalists-from the very first Q post right up until present day.
"I hope everyone reads this book. It has become such a crucial thing for all of us to understand." —Erin Burnett, CNN "An ideal tour guide for your journey into the depths of the rabbit hole that is QAnon. It even shows you a glimmer of light at the exit." —Cullen Hoback, director of HBO's Q: Into the Storm Its messaging can seem cryptic, even nonsensical, yet for tens of thousands of people, it explains everything: What is QAnon, where did it come from, and is the Capitol insurgency a sign of where it’s going next? On October 5th, 2017, President Trump made a cryptic remark in the State Dining Room at a gathering of military officials. He said it felt like “the calm before the storm”—then refused to elaborate as puzzled journalists asked him to explain. But on the infamous message boards of 4chan, a mysterious poster going by “Q Clearance Patriot,” who claimed to be in “military intelligence,” began the elaboration on their own. In the days that followed, Q’s wild yarn explaining Trump's remarks began to rival the sinister intricacies of a Tom Clancy novel, while satisfying the deepest desires of MAGA-America. But did any of what Q predicted come to pass? No. Did that stop people from clinging to every word they were reading, expanding its mythology, and promoting it wider and wider? No. Why not? Who were these rapt listeners? How do they reconcile their worldview with the America they see around them? Why do their numbers keep growing? Mike Rothschild, a journalist specializing in conspiracy theories, has been collecting their stories for years, and through interviews with QAnon converts, apostates, and victims, as well as psychologists, sociologists, and academics, he is uniquely equipped to explain the movement and its followers. In The Storm Is Upon Us, he takes readers from the background conspiracies and cults that fed the Q phenomenon, to its embrace by right-wing media and Donald Trump, through the rending of families as loved ones became addicted to Q’s increasingly violent rhetoric, to the storming of the Capitol, and on. And as the phenomenon shows no sign of calming despite Trump’s loss of the presidency—with everyone from Baby Boomers to Millennial moms proving susceptible to its messaging—and politicians starting to openly espouse its ideology, Rothschild makes a compelling case that mocking the seeming madness of QAnon will get us nowhere. Rather, his impassioned reportage makes clear it's time to figure out what QAnon really is — because QAnon and its relentlessly dark theory of everything isn’t done yet.
After accumulating an exhaustive amount of data during his years of deeply immersive global travel experiences, Charles J. Wolfe presents the sacred application of geometry and numerology as the divine map to humankind's enlightenment process throughout the millennia. What feels at first like science fiction is actually science-fact backed up by over 700 documented sources as well as other forms of validation that draw upon his engineering and physics backgrounds. While exploring many of the world's most fascinating events and mysteries in a way that enchants the reader, Wolfe discusses concepts like infinity, eternity, and human consciousness and spirituality using language understandable for the novice while still challenging the expert. A whirlwind adventure through the cosmos and history, this book unveils a secret architecture of numbers that could very well revolutionize the study of numerology and breathe new life into the subject. The 11:11 Code: The Great Awakening by the Numbers provides a deeper understanding of the creative spirit of the universe, how everything is connected, and what it all means in terms of The Great Awakening already underway.

Winner of the Christianity Today Book of the Year Award (1995) “The scandal of the evangelical mind is that there is not much of an evangelical mind.” So begins this award-winning intellectual history and critique of the evangelical movement by one of evangelicalism’s most respected historians. Unsparing in his indictment, Mark Noll asks why the largest single group of religious Americans—who enjoy increasing wealth, status, and political influence—have contributed so little to rigorous intellectual scholarship. While nourishing believers in the simple truths of the gospel, why have so many evangelicals failed to sustain a serious intellectual life and abandoned the universities, the arts, and other realms of “high” culture? Over twenty-five years since its original publication, The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind has turned out to be prescient and perennially relevant. In a new preface, Noll lays out his ongoing personal frustrations with this situation, and in a new afterword he assesses the state of the scandal—showing how white evangelicals’ embrace of Trumpism, their deepening distrust of science, and their frequent forays into conspiratorial thinking have coexisted with surprisingly robust scholarship from many with strong evangelical connections.
We've found ourselves pitted against one another like never before. Why has the world suddenly become so polarized? Our beliefs about current events have us fighting against each other. The anonymous intelligence insider known as "Q" says politicians and the media have created a false narrative about current events that conceal corruption from the public. Some choose to trust the media. Others choose not to. And therein lies the root of our struggle. In this second book of the Q Chronicles series, Dave Hayes takes readers on another journey to unlock the truths hidden in the cryptic messages from the Q clearance patriot. As Q's messages are explained, readers are given a behind the scenes glimpse at how events unfold on the world stage We'll examine the history of one of the wealthiest families of the modern age and learn how they amassed their fortune. We'll explore the corruption of the Vatican and how secret societies have controlled the destinies of nations. We'll trace the origins of the Federal Reserve and investigate the sinking of the Titanic. Q's mission is to make the public aware of the truth of history and current events. The awareness of truth will bring about "The Great Awakening"- an era when society will reject the media's deception and see the world as it really is. As we comprehend the truth, we'll understand that the real battle has never been about conservative versus liberal, black versus white. Those are merely distractions that keep us divided and controlled. The real conflict has always been about good versus evil. Isn't it time we stopped fighting one another and focused our attention on the real battle-the fight to vanquish the forces of darkness?
