This is perhaps a reverse false flag. White hat intel knows the only way to convince the masses that conspiracy theory is often conspiracy fact is to roll out a false flag in real time and let it play out. They're using the deep state's own tactics against them. Media never mentions DWS' crimes, Brennan's shenanigans, etc. Now every normie knows their names. It's forced news coverage now. The media have once again taken the Trump bait. Now we're gonna slowly find that the van was completely staged and that this was an intercepted "October Surprise" plot of the left. Which time will show is really Red October.
Think of Patton…"Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!" Well, I think our Q friends have read Rules for Radicals and studied Bill and Hill's ol buddy Bill Ayers tactics of projection.
