So this is a synthesis that finally clicked for me the other day. I turned it over in my mind, couldn't find anything wrong with it, and now throw it out to y'all. Anything it gets right is due to this being a great forum and the tons of work mostly by other people. (Shoutouts to recent posts by Wayshuba. EuropeanRepublican, GroceryStoreSushi and many others, including those who shot me down when I went down the wrong rabbit holes.) I also used a few off-Q sources like Juan O Savin, Youtuber Bonfire Guy, and Jeffrey Prather.

There is a great movie called "The Sting," starring Robert Redford and Paul Newman back in '73. (Seriously, it's a great movie, even if my theory gets trashed. I'll spoil the ending if you keep reading, but it's worth watching anyway.) It begins with a bunch of high-stakes poker players, where one guy cheats on a big hand. The good guys know he cheated, but they can't call him out because they don't know how he cheated. The bad guy is very skilled and extremely cautious. The rest of the movie is the good guys developing an elaborate, sure-fire scheme to lure the bad guy into a much bigger game, where they get all of his money back and take down his network of baddies including crosses from double-agents. The scheme involves them building an entire casino custom-built for the particular trap they set, which turned out to be the only way.

That's what Q did. Just like a mob bust, if you stop one bank robbery, you get one mobster, but the mob continues as usual. Infiltrate or mic up the guy you catch and you can maybe take out a chapter, but it's still whack-a-mole: the rest of the mob rebuilds and it's like you did nothing. To take out the whole mob, you need to mic the bottom guy, then his boss, then his boss, and keep going, and bust them all at once so the others don't run.

In our case, Q had a trans-national network of political power-brokers with sophisticated comms and command structure. Their currency is minds and people, their cards are countries and corporations. The only way to get them was by luring them into a sting, a custom-built election, tracked at every opportunity. Just like cheating poker players, they were used to winning whenever they wanted, losing sometimes to avoid getting called, and learning whenever they lost by accident, over the course of decades. Q built and rolled out a very special red carpet to the next round, which happened to be the big prize of our country and presidency. From before the election and onward, Q's MI team tracked everything, and marked all the baddies with sealed indictments. When useful and possible the bad actors were flipped, to assist in going higher up, in order to get the whole system of roots and branches. If they didn't flip, they disappeared and/or doubles took their place. It was a risky game: if they got it wrong at any turn, the rats would run and regroup for another time. All along the way, people like Justice Roberts and Gov Kemp (GA) were tested and given the opportunity to prove their loyalty, to act for integrity or for convenience. It all culminated in a fake inauguration, stitched together from a pre-recorded and a live version. The staged inauguration was the only way for the bad actors to play al their cards, to collect on the fruits of their actions (think: good job Kamala, here's your payoff coins, and here's your next instruction; they would never pay if they knew they lost) and provide the ultimate proof of quid pro quos. It is also the only certain way to know the true plans (dirty bomb? "riot control" troops from Canada?) of the bad guys after ostensibly controlling the office.

The troop saturation in DC was to ensure no independent cameras got in for the pre-recorded inauguration; remove arrested individuals and replace them with doubles in a controlled fashion; prevent random and intentional look-e-loos; and remove incoming indicted attendees on the final day, the same way marshals and FBI agents invite people with warrants to fake job fairs to arrest them all at once instead of chasing them down separately. (Err... I heard that part from a friend.) It all finally clicked when the reports came in of early "live" videos being broadcast overseas, continuity issues between different versions of the video (i.e., people missing from one camera view to another) and Castle Rock Entertainment partially owned by Mnuchin having an Oval Office movie stage. This final act was a necessary part, to pull in the final players and proofs, just like the final sting in the movie. Posts here scream that a fake inauguration was held, and this is the only reason that makes sense to me.

And it all matches Q as far as I can tell. When does (Gaga) the bird sing? After the storm, according to Rose Kennedy. Darkness to light? Huma gave that on twitter, if you followed her. Where do you enjoy popcorn? At the movies. (I think national popcorn day was just a crazy coincidence, or maybe it inspired Q to throw it in the reference. But it definitely fits.) What does Castle Rock make? movies. What are we watching? A movie.

The current string of fake EOs is to clean-up work on the media baddies, but mostly to troll the media and stretch their credibility to the breaking point. It also provides mop-up time domestically and for the international side of things.

Plenty of loose ends, to be sure. The intersection of reality and show is a blurry line. I think that military law took over sometime between 1/6 and 1/11; I have a hunch that Pompeo has become president temporarily but it might still be Trump, if the law allows continuity beyond the regular term. Knowing who was arrested when, who turned to help, and who is being played by a stand-in actor is beyond me, who is on which side is beyond me. Ending the US Corp is good, and I think the practical effect is like removing the mortgage from your house, but it might go beyond that; I suspect it will take time to settle down. I have many thoughts on the biblical connections (I'm a believer), Vatican connections and other aspects, but those are details (extremely important ones, especially the human trafficking stuff) at this point. The main part is that it's done, and the rest of it is pretty much a show, slowly reeling in the remaining baddies while providing some decompression time and maybe even buyer's regret for normies. I think the military will either have new elections within 180 days, or take that time to verify and prove out the valid results from November, to put Trump back in office. Hopefully they'll do it quickly.

Apologies for the uber-post. I think of it like those team-building exercises where everybody forms a pyramid to get some folks over the wall, and once people get to the top, their duty is to help the other folks over. Once I'm up here, I've got to help the folks who are struggling to get up and over. Once you're over the hump, the view is clear and the show is a lot more entertaining. It's so outrageous and ballsy that it's hilarious. It's reality TV except that it's really TV reality, almost like ... a mirror. It's crazy, I know. I'm done with stress, and enjoying the show. I hope you can too.

If I'm wrong, I promise to order new antennae for my tin-foil hat, and apologize to any anons that want to be left out of my nuttiness.
