Yes, that's been my concern as well. Q team had to go dark at least once, that I'm aware of, because action created counter action.

A little 10 person team, against potentially the rest of 5 eyes. Are they protected by ODNI? Space Force? Has anything come up on this December 17th? Did we ever figure anything out about that post with [B]?

EDIT: See, I did some poking around, and the vagueness of everything doesn't help. Q post 4938 Says FIX THE BREAD AND TIDY UP THE SHIP. Random.

This thread has some plausible explanations. Ok. However, it doing some digging, mainly trying to find a source of that quote, I come upon the story of William Bligh, A vice Admiral in the Royal Navy.

From Wikipedia:

In 1787, Lieutenant Bligh, as he then was, took command of HMAV Bounty. In order to win a premium offered by the Royal Society, he first sailed to Tahiti to obtain breadfruit trees, then set course east across the South Pacific for South America and the Cape Horn and eventually to the Caribbean Sea, where breadfruit was wanted for experiments to see whether it would be a successful food crop for enslaved Africans there on British colonial plantations in the West Indies islands. According to one modern researcher, the notion that breadfruit had to be collected from Tahiti was intentionally misleading. Tahiti was merely one of many places where the esteemed seedless breadfruit could be found. The real reason for choosing Tahiti has its roots in the territorial contention that existed then between France and Great Britain at the time.[5] Bounty never reached the Caribbean, as mutiny broke out on board shortly after the ship left Tahiti.

Emphasis mine. Obviously the mind can see what it wants to see, but perhaps it wasn't necessarily about board drama as the GAW thread indicates? Perhaps a warning? Who knows. Also doesn't help that 30 days later was the last we heard from Q, not counting that [B] post.
