You are basically given your own answer.

We have, I think, 2 options:

1. Control
2. lack of control.

When we analyze both positions, we should be able to determine the likelihood of both positions.

What does control look like?

Here is a Q post to consider: u/#q1800

Reflect on this for a moment.

Checkers-thoughts are linear. Chess-thoughts are much more complicated. The twists and turns devised by chess players are bind bending. "5D" Chess is a term often used in comments.

Let' s consider Q-4700. And when you read, try, instead of focusing on the results, to establish the type of mind needed to pull this off:

u/#q4700

What does stand out to you?

This brings me to a very important question: how do you spring a trap?

Here' s a pointer: Q-2300

u/#q2300

How do you read? (See also 2381). Of course these posts do not answer your questions directly. Rather, the way these posts are designed circumvent national security prohibitions.

So, why the Q-posts in the first place, and the Q-movement in the second? The line of questions awaken us to something else, to look deeper into the movements we see on stage and derive deeper meaning from it.

u/#q4550

How do you read? Did you notice: biblical? There are several matters that can be derived from the bible:

1. historic.
2. miraculous
3. moral
4. amusement
5. conspiratorial
6. fill in the blank.

When you reflect on the RNC convention, you clearly see a biblical dimension to it, especially when that pastor from Milwaukee came on stage, riling up the people. The "miracle" angle is milked. It must be divine intervention, yes?

For your entertainment: whatch the movie: "Now you see me". O yes, magical it is. But it is all based on the illusion. The closer you watch, the less you see. Theatrics, optics. It has to look legit, right?

How did Q call it? altitude? u/#q144

If 80% is non-public, is what you see just 20%? If you base your conclusions on the 20%, do you arrive at the right spot? So, how can we look behind the veil?

Once again, I will pose the question: if optics need to make an event look legit: how do you spring a trap?

If chatter is received, how do you make sure, the USSS acts appropriately? Appropriate to what standard? The optics? Or something else?

Let' s assume for a moment, the optics you saw, are the actual thing going on. Then how did the USSS act appropriately? Isn't it clear from the Cheatl hearing this optic of appropriate is rather inappropriate?

Let' s assume for a moment that this event had to play out, the way it did, to achieve several objectives.

1. riled up base
2. people moving away from dem party.
3. panic in DC
4. destruction of the old guard
5. not interfere with an enemy in the process of destroying itself.

on the topic of assassination, this has been the theme throughout. Research the term assassination in the Q-posts. Here is an example: u/#q586.

The first line jumps out, especially given the fact that Crooks phone was pinged in DC ...

Now, consider Q-28. Q responds to a poster on /pol with this: Well done picture being painted. This means, we need to take the narrative pictured in this post and isolate the means and methods for control. u/#q28

If infiltrated by only observers, can you activate operators?

u/#q105

Even more intriguing. We have Q, we have Q+ and we have Q0. u/#q2564

So, our attention is drawn to Las Vegas event, while operators are active: u/#q111

So, what does this all tell us: a counter infiltration requires deep cover operatives to act at a moments notice, to foil a plot. And, operators are paying with their lives for it. The willingness to do so, is a testament of the biblical nature of it. Reflect on these words:

u/#q35

However, this stands in context. The character is clearly delineated here. Interestingly, the Gospel of John, to which Q point our attention, also contains the words of Caiaphas: it is in the interest of our Nation, one man to sacrifice his life. And: I command you to love each other, like I have loved you. And, No one has greater love than he who gives his life for others.

You can see the pattern. Q then applies this to" Love of Country". The willingness to put yourself into harm, carrying that cross, apply this to the events you saw unfolding. Although a theater, it is not a game.

How do you spring a trap?

I know, I have not given you the answer, for I can't. You have to see it for yourself.

And this brings me to the final piece:

What makes a good movie? It has to look legit, right?

I started out with saying, you are answering your own question.

it does not look that way

Indeed, only from a certain perspective. Only from a certain altitude. As is said in "the Matrix":

take the blue pill, and you belief, whatever you want to belief. Take the red pill, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember, all I am offering is the truth. Nothing more.

And this may be even more to our disadvantage. Our personal disposition.
