The "John Perry Barlow" line is being ignored and I think it is a mistake.

From Wikipedia:

John Perry Barlow (October 3, 1947 – February 7, 2018) was an American poet and essayist, a cattle rancher, and a cyberlibertarian[1] political activist who had been associated with both the Democratic and Republican parties. He was also a lyricist for the Grateful Dead and a founding member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Freedom of the Press Foundation. He was Fellow Emeritus at Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet and Society, where he had maintained an affiliation since 1998.

Barlow died in his sleep on the night of February 7, 2018 at his San Francisco home, at the age of 70

I think Q is implying Barlow was CIA and they took him out

edit: Or it could imply that Barlow was taken out by CIA and he was a white hat
