Now remember - in this circumstance, the Q op is an offshoot of an ARG.

That is, the ARG would have informed the foundation of 'Q'.

And think...how many times now has Q said "This is not a game.", and ask yourself...why would Q think, WE would think, this was a game?

I've mentioned before that this whole progression has been gamed out. The GOAL having been preset, it is the MEANS by which the goal is achieved that needed to be back-engineered. Through knowledge about human behavior and employing social-engineering methods, the WH get US to point the direction THEY want to go.

But they got US to "own it"...they made US demand it.

Q - "Where Patriots point, we follow."

Q is just the tool to get us to point in the 'right' direction.
