Now is education time for those that do not know what that means. A Bronze Star Medal is an award authorized by all branches of the service for Meritorious Service, or Achievement, or for Valor. It is one of several awards that are considered a multipurpose honor. In other words, you may get it for different reasons, not involving combat or for combat. The Bronze Star is only presented in a combat zone and never due to non-combat zone participation, such as in the United States, stationed in Europe, etc. There are other military awards for non-combat service. My research and Joe Biden’s own words strongly support that Major Biden received the Bronze Star for completing a tour of duty in a combat zone so that his superiors felt he should receive a Bronze Star for Meritorious Service. I leave it up to you to decide if he received the award due to his father’s position as the Vice President.
To be sure, awards in the military can be political. Unfortunately, it is typical that recognition of this nature is presented to service academy graduates, career officers, and Non-Commissioned Officers as a “favor” for promotions in the future. However, some individual soldiers richly deserve the award of a Bronze Star for outstanding service. The award typically reflects the recipient did such an exceptional job in their position that they were set apart and above their contemporaries. The way to tell the difference between a Meritorious Service/Achievement Bronze Star and a Bronze Star for Heroism is a small “V” device worn on the ribbon denoting “Valor.” If the “V” device is not part of the ribbon, rest assured the award was meritorious.

What intrigues me is the Naysayers' NEED to have us commit to a date!
It's like us committing to a date is the defibrullator charge they NEED to survive?
I don't know that it's any of the posters in here, and of course it's against the T&C's to call other members shills or disinformation agents so I wouldn't even try and do that, but I think it is a common information warfare tactic to damage a forum user's credibility, if you can get them to make a wholehearted prediction that doesn't come true.
Sometimes this could just be typical forum banter, a chance to rub the other guys nose in it and be all 'neener neener!', but other times it may actually be an attempt to damage the user's credibility. So like next week when the big tsunami hits and you're all 'Guys! Big tsunami coming!' and then they'll be all like 'Whatever! Don't listen to Rel! Remember last week when he said the ninjas were going to climb mount Everest? Didn't happen! He's full of it, don't listen to him! Then they yell 'neener neener' again.
A little Magic Roundabout parable for the "Dougalls":
Stop worrying about people's choice of direction and just enjoy their company until the MAGA Train turns up!
Hehe. Funny video. Also, agree. Besides, Q's posts were never even really about that. This is a puzzle, an invitation to research, and a great conversation starter(for some), in my opinion. Preparation for things that may come, perhaps, but few specific date/time predictions.
Because at some point, the goal posts have to stop being moved. 10 day of darkness until Jan 30th. What's the next date? At some point, most people loose faith. I am on the verge, I am willing to see what the next couple of weeks bring, but after that, the plan was obviously a failure other than many people woke up and can now see and understand the corruption. But the big plan, the end of the movie, the show might have just been false promises/predictions. I am all for continuing the fight against corruption and criminals in govt, I will never accept Biden as legitimate, but that doesn't change our present situation.

Sleeper dig
This may or may not help answer your question. It is a dig on sleepers. When I used to hear sleeper, I always thought bad guys shedding their skin and exposing their true bad selves. I never thought that there could be good sleepers. What would a good sleeper be used for? Think spreading the enemies assets apart and thinning of the shill brigade. Hope that helps answer your question on following those with damaged credibility. Sometimes it could be intentional or unintentional. Take what you want, but don't take anything I say as fact. Open to interpretations is key in understanding this game of duopoly we are all participants in.

Here's something verrrrry interesting:
gab.com...
It seems Biden's Executive Orders are not showing up in the federal registry and the Trump EOs Biden reversed are still showing up in the registry?
And it seems the Biden administration took the link to the EOs off the website.
There's a lot more intriguing information on this Gab post so I highly recommend you all read it.
