i have a second take on "the pictures we post are all originals", running it by here.
Q team is not gov't, but tech - a group within google/twitter/fb of engineers with access…contacted military intel somehow, explained the security problem, and are now working from the outside to feed the inside.

access to [45] pictures because he knows they know, and stages appropriately.
