These Q drops (2017–2020) revolve around Trump's October 5, 2017 "Calm Before the Storm" comment to military leaders. QAnon interpreted it as the signal for "The Storm" — a secret plan to expose/arrest a "deep state" cabal.
Key connections in the posts:
Military buildup (carriers in Pacific) to deter Russia/China/NK.
High-level clearances (Q Clearance/DOE) and insiders with evidence (U1/Uranium One).
Timelines linking to Jeff Sessions/John Huber, John Durham investigation, and FBI ops like Crossfire Hurricane.
Repeated emphasis that the "blockade/threat" will be removed and "you'll find out."
Right now (May 16, 2026): Trump posted an AI image nearly identical to the meme you shared, captioned along the lines of "It Was The Calm Before The Storm." This is happening amid active U.S. naval operations in the Strait of Hormuz ("Project Freedom"), carrier/escort deployments, and Iran-related tensions.
The Q community sees this as direct fulfillment/continuation of the old narrative: naval posturing, dismantling threats, and the long-awaited "storm" phase playing out in real time.

🇮🇹 Another angle of today's horror in Modena, Italy.🇮🇹 An Italian citizen, followed by two other men, heroically stopped Salim El Koudri, the perpetrator of the car-ramming attack in #Modena, while he was armed with a knife.

The first man to intervene was injured by the assailant.
