This is how I currently see things: The q operation had a specific timeline, plan and objective. It was run, with less than ten people who knew the whole operation parameters, but many other assets ll around the place on a need to know basis. As an operation, it had a start, middle and finish. It achieved certain objectives. After the operation was completed, the operations team would be disbanded, because the operation is over.

They may be veterans of the operation, and some may still be involved in related things, but the operation itself, and therefor the team that ran it, no longer exists or operates in the current time as "the Q team".

"No outside comms" was a parameter than explained that the Q team would ONLY be dropping and communicating via the chans. It was necessary to establish the parameters, so that anons and others would not go fishing on all sorts of wild goose chases, or be ensnared by DS disinfo operations.

So, if one adopts this perspective, it's certain possible that persons previous working as part of the Q team might communicate or do "comms" - why else did Q get anons and patriots to "learn our comms"? - but if they are using comms, its not as part of the Q team.

For example, if Scavino uses comms in his stuff, or DJT uses comms, which playing a wwg1wga theme at his rally certain would qualify as, or even Musk or anyone else (if they were part of the Q team), then they are NOT doing it NOW as the Q team, and so "no outside comms" simply would not apply.

But having had all the anons and patriots learn at least something about how comms work in the intel world, then it becomes possible for DJT, or scavino, or others to use comms, even if they are not doing so as "Q".

Musk might very well be using comms here, but its NOT as Q. It's as musk. In this particular case "Attacks will intensify", it seems pretty darn clear that Musk is using comms, aka communicating with Q-patriots in a non-regular, coded way.

He's saying things on two levels. One, that attacks are going to intensify, and two, that [wink, wink] those in the know know that we are in the war that Q told us all above and revealed to us. aka Go team.

No outside comms only made sense and was only necessary when Q was posting. Q's not posting, and it seems pretty clear that the operation itself has either finished or is on an extended pause. But if we have learned how to read and use comms, then it opens up a whole other layer of information sharing that was not accessible to us when we were normies.

Anyway, that's how I see it now.
