I've asked Q previously about the Amtrak derailment in Washington and the response was that it was indeed retaliation for the spec-op that went down in Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson. Today's event seems like more of the same.
There's still one more EO to go according to Dilley, can you confirm if that's on the way? If not, even these current two have enough authorization to coup de grace some swamp critters.
That opens up quite a few avenues to dig into. Events of note that may have taken place at the Standard, the history of the GM who died… Lots of potential here.
