Q spelled it out for you already. Crumbs. Read them.
Countdowns are a Game Theory tactic that forces the Cabal to use ammo. FF
Every time there is a countdown we see major cabal habbenings. Anons see patterns.

Get the cabal to act first.
This YALE lecture explains Game Theory in this context.
Don't expect Anons to get butt hurt when FFs are all that happens.
That is the point.
