The Signal and the Noise
In times of crisis, reliable information can be worth its weight in gold. In a sea of voices screaming for attention, how does one go about finding reliable information? Part of my work involves the acquisition of information. Having analyzed a lot of it over the years, I’ve learned that all sources are not equal in quality or in the quantity of information they provide. Some sources are more reliable than others. I rely on certain sources for certain types of information.
If I’m looking for information that accurately forecasts the future, I tend to look for sources that provide spiritual intelligence. For prophetic information, the Spirit of God is the most reliable source there is. He inspired the prophets to write the scriptures that correctly predicted events thousands of years in advance. I receive information from the Holy Spirit, but what I receive is sporadic, and often, it’s presented symbolically. Sometimes I don’t receive revelation on the subject I want. Other times I do, but the precise meaning of a message isn’t always clear. Thus, I combine spiritual intelligence with the information I receive from other sources.
During a crisis, the number of sources providing information to the public rises. Suddenly, sources you’ve never heard of are trying to explain to you the real story behind the crisis and where society is headed. During the current coronavirus crisis, so many unreliable sources of information appeared on social media that government officials asked people to be careful about where they get their information from.
In every significant crisis, there will be people who insist the current President is secretly working for Satan and creating a last days’ deception. They will inevitably assert that the deceiver in the oval office is about to force us all to take the mark of the beast. This narrative has been used to describe every President of the last 100 years. It will be used to describe every President of the next 100 years because certain religious sects have this dogma ingrained into their teaching.
In electronics, there is a term called “signal-to-noise ratio.” It compares the level of an electronic signal to the level of background noise. Although originally used to describe electronic signals, it can be applied to any type of signal, such as biochemical signaling between cells, or financial trading signals. The term is also used metaphorically to describe the quality of online conversations. The term “signal” refers to helpful information, while false or irrelevant information is called “noise.”
As I evaluate the quality and quantity of information available during a crisis, I’ve noticed that the amount of useful information remains the same. Reliable sources are limited and somewhat permanent. During a crisis, unreliable sources of information quickly multiply. That is to say, the signal remains the same, but the noise increases. We tend to think that more information is better, so we feverishly search the internet for videos and articles that explain the current situation. Many of us find ourselves running down rabbit trails and dead-ends because we’re listening to the noise and not the signal.
I love receiving revelation from God, but spiritual intelligence, like every other kind of intelligence, has to be correctly analyzed (interpreted) and applied. I find information from Q to be extremely helpful, but I’m aware that some information he provides is disinformation. It’s intended to make corrupt people make wrong moves. If I make my plans or if I assess the likelihood of future events based on disinformation, I’ll be disappointed. Even with reliable sources, there is noise along with the signal.
God has impressed upon me that the greatest need we have today is developing more accurate discernment. If we could make only one change, it would be improving our ability to distinguish truth from error, dark from light. As we move closer to the storm, it will be more important than ever to learn how to ignore distractions, detect disinformation, and avoid unreliable sources. If we hope to help others, we must learn how to focus on the signal and not the noise.
Thank you! I appreciate your articles and books!
Brilliant Dave , I see the signal loud and clear !
Thank you !!!. I would very much appreciate if you could beyond Spiritual intelligence you could throw some light on identifying where one can access unbiased information, that is credible non MSM a particular arae of interest is Slave trade that is it origins and real drivers. In a time where disinformation has been monopolised. Thank you.
For me your information and the way you deliver is what I trust the most!! I don’t really trust just browsing!! God bless and so much gratitude for your updates
We were all chosen to play our part in our Father’s plan. Thank you so much Dave for being my lighthouse in this tempest, my rock foundation beneath my feet and the opener of my heart so the spirit can enter. You have helped me stay strong and saved my family and friends. The coming weeks we will all be tested, stay strong my brothers and sisters. Put on the full armor of God and never loose faith.

Thanks Dave. As always. Awesome!
Always trust your posts, thank you
Amen brother. I love your discernment. We all need to rely as much on the Holy Spirit as possible and pray continually. Love that you do that. God often confirms what you post.
I truly believe Trump is guided by God and sent here for this historic End Times! I might even go as far as to say he is a “time-traveler”/angel?) I trust the Plan, but have always been alert to look for the Anti-Christ and I don’t see anybody else fitting the bill at this time! Could it be though, that since Trump is adept at playing 4D Chess against the Deep State’s checkers (Good vs Evil), that WE Christians are also being deceived in this game by Trump? Until he turns his back on Israel and Christianity, I am going to Trust the Plan!
A professing Christian made claim to me recently that Trump was leading the world toward the advent of The Illuminatti New world Order. I told em send me your rmaterial. Getting ready to go down the Rabbit trail. I dont believe that . The spiritual DNA surfacing during this time of upheaval would seem to indicate just the opposite. But I’ll give it a look. Gotta know how all sides think
Doug. You can relax please about the anti-Christ. We are here yet for quite some time. If one knows who the anti-Christ really is they have missed the rapture. I love we don’t have to be talking about end times. It gets us off the mark entirely about what Christ’s mission is for us. Yet so many get caught up in it.
Thank you Medic …. this really hits home today. I always wait for your responses with hope. WWG1WGA
Well I’ll tell yuh Dave, I’m focused and captivated by your signal! Keep it up??
I really needed to hear this today there was so much noise going on that I attempted to be more of a signal it blew up in my face and I was affected by the noise from ithrrs discernment
A very timely word delivered in just the right season!! I agree discernment is imperative during this challenging transition from dark to light. You have helped sharpen my discernment & taught me to think critically! Thanks!
Great piece Dave
Other than God’s Word, I find you to be my best source. You just have the ability to bring calm to the storm and I am so grateful for you. I think it is funny that some prefer the written posts and some prefer the videos but we all agree that, whichever, just keep them coming and as often as possible. God Bless you both.
If the voice is screaming dont listen, instead listen to the small still voice.
I love your books and YouTube videos. I have read a couple of your books and hope to get to all of them eventually. This theme is very personal to me since I received a word from the Lord in prayer several years ago. He told me that hearing His voice was like tuning into a radio station. You have to learn to get through all of the static. ? I’ve been wanting to ask you some questions. Do you take private messages? Thank you for your ministry! ?
You’re welcome to email me.
Yes, you put into well crafted sentences many of my unspoken thoughts and maybe whatever insight I may possess. Thank you. You bless us in so many ways.
Thank you so much, Dave!
I agree and thank you for this post…very needed. Discernment at this time is one of our most needed gifts. God bless you.
Well said. If you listen to the rhetoric of some media questions, you can tell they are baiting hyperbole of the danger to make DJP look bad. In teaching stats and research I would emphasize looking for special causes (outside the system) and common causes.

You are a bright spot in all our lives. Bless you.
Information —— just data—- unfiltered
Knowledge —— organized data —- intelligent energy —- mind based
Wisdom —- intelligent infinity —- the voice of our higher self
Discernment —- infinite infinity —- the voice of the ONE
(God (get over defining) can’t define or describe the ONE, ineffable, beyond words)
Feelings may possibly approximate the ONE.
Love. Corey
I know I can always count on you for clear and balanced coverage of what Q and Q+ are trying to tell us. Thank you for your heart for God and country.
Thanks for designing your page to be easy to read. I think when I first started to see what was going on the sight I was looking at had Christian people on it then more towards the election I found way better Christian news and better sources. And I became a better discerner.
Ok Dave you nailed me.I wanted to believe what the General said to not believe so I forwarded it.Now I feel stupid.Yes,I’m forgiven but I still feel stupid.When you post I click.Thanks
Discernment is what I pray for each and every time I pray. Solomon asked for wisdom and discernment above riches and all earthly treasures. If knowledge is power, discernment is our greatest defence against darkness. Yahweh will provide discernment if asked, trouble is some are more comfortable in their ignorance and narrative. Finding out you have been wrong and have trusted the wrong sources can be a bitter pill to swallow. I pray you and Denise and family remain safe and healthy. We need all our prayer warriors on the front lines.
Great article and I always appreciate your wisdom and point of view. I too have notice lots of clamoring noise during this crisis. At times I have to turn it off, even well respected people in the conservative movement. Because they don’t have a foundation in God they can be a bit shrill and good and doom. I find myself becoming anxious and scared, then I remind myself Trump is God chosen and it’s under control. We must first be rooted in Gods word. Thanks again for all your work!
Thanks PM, that’s exactly what’s been happening, I’ve gone down so many rabbit holes, after a while you lose track of what’s true and what’s fake. Thanks for the reminder!?
Thanks Dave. I appreciate your levelheadedness.
Wonderful to hear common sense and straight talk from you Bro! You are refreshing in so many ways as you explain Q and all the stuff you research all the time. And….I love your “Calm Before The Storm Book!!!” Wow; I don’t know if I made a comment yet but I will be reading this again and often refer to it as time goes on. If I really like a book I tend to read it more than once and a little slower so I don’t miss anything. Thank you for that first installment; you bet I will get the next one too!

I’d forgotten that Q does disinformation sometimes to trick the evil ones who call him a LARP. Great article, I too am very careful who I get my information from and it is only after a long time that I trust the information, because it is usually backed up elsewhere.
Thank you, PM. I’m slowly going deaf, a process that teaches you a lot about when and when not to pay attention. ? ??
Perfect timing for this message delivery – will smh to clear the static and continue to pray for discernment from all the increasing noise! There is only One who deserves all my focus and trust! ?❤️??
Besides my God…you my go to man.
Great Article. I’ve been getting messages from people that are so far out there it’s like ‘Where are you getting your information from, I ask? There all bent out of shape telling me ‘IT’S HAPPENING’
It will happen,,,when it happens…. our job is to PRAY, Trust The Plan, I’ll Trust God’s Plan first. He will show us the way to go…
