If there is a plan in the works (which it would appear there is definitely a whole lot of shit going on) then it only serves the white hats to always appear that everything is normal until the moment that it is no longer normal. It is how every successful covert operation have ever happened.

I mean look at the battle of Midway. The Japanese thought Midway was ripe for the taking and as the Japanese were bombing a near empty Midway, bombers and fighters were going the opposite direction to decimate the Japanese naval fleet. Japan had the larges and most powerful naval fleet in the world at the time, and yet, US Intelligence and strategy let them hit Japan right when Japan thought that all was normal at Midway.

It is that surprise that creates every brilliant military operation that goes on to be successful. Hell, look at Cornwallis and being led to the peninsula. He initially thought they were to big and well armed to be beaten. In both cases (like David and Goliath) their pride and size was their downfall.
