>How did Q know?
By going forward in order to look back
>the future is looking back while we look forward
So, what, the operators from the 'future' just sort of Bill-and-Ted the information to their temporally offset counterparts in the present?
>Q team has full control
Q team is in control, but they are not omnipotent. Things can occur that are outside of Q team's ability to prevent.
>why would Q team not be able to stop a shooting by the DS if known via PLG?
Maybe not enough information? Only received dates and types of events, but nothing about exactly what time, where it would be, or who exactly would be involved and for what reason?
>would the DS try to take out 8 people from within the military?
To keep their own from potentially snitching? Absolutely. They are not a cohesive team, they are a cabal of disparate interests that are naturally hostile to one another working towards a similar goal. Who's to say this isn't a case of the DS chewing through it's paw to try and avoid capture?
>would that stop the other 1.3 mio warriors?
If the people killed were actually DS they were probably ass-kissing shit bags no one in the military would miss anyway.
>would it be far more likely that Q has quickly taken down a couple of bad actors that had infiltrated military?
Entirely possible, but certainly not the only explanation.
>would that fit the "THINKING time" well? (bas actors get one last chance to break free from the cult)
You mean "Thinking timing," and Q has already laid out long ago that there are no deals.
>would that fit the mexican cartel targeted and the take down of the Gambino family?
What specifically makes you think that one side or the other was responsible for ALL the events? Why do you discount the possibility that the six were a 'group effort' between Q team removing threats and the DS attacking civilians?
