The Q drops are the world's most important and richest information landscape, and yet the "professional" analysts haven't turned up to examine and dissect them. So it is kind of fun having this intellectual playground, albeit lacking the usual playmates — but anons are the new intellectual and spiritual aristocracy anyway, so who cares.

Sometimes I ponder what kind of model sits behind the drops, and my main conclusion is that it cost a lot of money and took a lot of effort. Each info/disinfo item is designed to create certainties/uncertainties and influence the likelihood of different actors behaving in certain ways, all of which then interact with one another.

That's not the kind of thing you hack together over a weekend with a few Perl scripts. It all hangs together in a way that is uncannily slick. I hope someone behind the scenes is feeling suitably smug reading this. I am beyond impressed! Kind of a Manhattan Project of information warfare...
