Ah, damn. Must be those bombs of peace again.
Of course it's possible. But it's not probable.
Q does say "you are watching a movie." The important information is who's directing that movie. Keeping us all occupied with a farcical power struggle between the "good guys" and the "OPFOR" would certainly be an effective way to neutralize a potential armed rebellion (and people who say civilians with rifles are useless against the military are being ignorant)
But I don't think that's what is going on here.
