Pretty odd dance. I'm not sure of the significance of such truck in the context of global business war strategy, but nothing like this comes from Q. If it did I'd be disgusted, and you'd probably perceive something other than a "listing" Q from the FUD ballast shift. IJ comes on more like Clark Kent--and sometimes you'd like to see him just blow it and shatter the jerk. Could happen, in a way. I liked the IPR statement of a week ago or so.
