Those aren't ignorant questions. My emotions have run hot and cold on these same issues. Someone shared something from Thomas Wicktor last night. It caught my eye because Wicktor is not a Q advocate. Wicktor introduced a March 2020 article and said it explained everything, that the article was absolutely accurate, and that Trump was definitely one of the smartest men on earth (as if we didn't know that). Remember March was the height of the COVID scare, and the article is written through a lens looking at what would happen if COVID wiped out key members of our branches of government. They used the media against itself. The media is trying to stir up fear. Trump gives them information that they can't see beyond that COVID lens, such as how the 2018 Emergency Act would say, should we have enemies both foreign and domestic invade or steal an election.

Other than the fact that Wicktor says he vetted the article for accuracy and found it totally accurate, one other indicator tells me he is on to something, and it has calmed me tremendously. Wicktor, like Monkeywerx had noticed that although Trump is said to be at his Florida residence, there is not a no fly zone around the property. Wicktor believes that works with the covert military intervention the military needed to find this plan playable. Trump is not at his Florida residence. In line with that, Trump is pretending to be in Florida. He shows up on President's Day and is seen in an impromptu rally along the streets. He is said to be golfing but the sources are not confirmed. They can't see in the tinted windows, but they believe Trump is there. Trump and Pence and those who have taken control are dispersed in accord with the devolution the article explains.

Trump is literally a genius who finds ways to telegraph his next move and still keep his opponents in the dark. But the questions you ask will probably not be answered until they announce that the military intervention is over. We may never know who was in charge, but they'll probably let us know if Biden, etc., were playing a role at gunpoint or if they were in the dark. How hilarious would it be for Biden, a shell of a man not to realize he is not president. However, Q's "These people are stupid," may give a hint. If there have already been arrests, such as Schiff, Nadler, Brennan, Clapper, etc., it would seem impossible to hide it from the rest of the bad actors, but maybe they are so caught up in their own worlds and still trying to claim COVID as dangerous, that they haven't caught up with Trump yet.

Just my thoughts, and I hope a helpful article.
