I don't think that the elites, the same ones who worship their own egos as gods, probably more than the devil they sacrifice children to, would ever commit suicide. It takes some severe devaluing of the self in order to override the survival instinct and kill yourself, something they never, ever gone through.
Given that, could it be that the suicide Q talked about wasn't literal, but more like political and professional, due to the declass, or maybe one colossal FF that backfires in an equally colossal manner ?
The other thing is that to join these secret societies or "The Club" you have to go through initiations. Like the mafia you're not allowed in unless you fully incriminate yourself. Those societies keep al that incriminating data somewhere. You have to do something so reprehensible that they can destroy you in a heartbeat if you ever betray them.
Now imagine if the good guys got a hold of all the incriminating data. What could they do? The members fear the blackmail. The crimes they did to get into the Club were so horrific that if it came out they'd be better off dead.
These people live double lives. Their illusions are everything to them. If their masks are destroyed they are essentially dead. Someone who could do the horrific things these "club" members have done is not a normal-thinking person. Thinking of them by our terms is a big mistake.
