People aren't grasping the implications of the markers being on a clock.
Q posts things… Everyone waits for something to happen… Seemingly nothing. Or… Little that is definitive.
Q's posts contain markers. Markers for what? Their place on a clock? Why mark on a clock if he can just tell us when things might be happening?
Wind the clock by going backwards. When it is released, the clock runs forward. The markers tell us where we are and what to look for next. It also tells us where we are on the map of taking down the corruption.
Q's posts aren't necessarily for today or even this month… They are for when the clock starts running. The board is still being set. The clock is still being wound.
