The only issue I have with that theory (and it's not a terrible theory) is that the National Review story was actually posted on 3.13.18, or several days before those BOOMS were posted by Q.
I do think we might have some slightly exaggerated expectations when it comes to the BOOMs. So many of us want to see massive arrest and perp-walks of high-profile names, but in my opinion the quieter this is kept, the smoother the operation is, and the further along it is able to get without rioting or violence in the streets. I think this operation has to move at the speed of our lowest common denominator: normies.
I trust the plan.
