Operation Mockingbird being shut down last week should be enough to convince anyone that Q is at least in the loop, never mind all the lesser synchronicities.

Wikipedia:

"Operation Mockingbird was an alleged large-scale program of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that began in the early 1950s and attempted to manipulate news media for propaganda purposes. It funded student and cultural organizations and magazines as front organizations.

According to writer Deborah Davis, Operation Mockingbird recruited leading American journalists into a propaganda network and oversaw the operations of front groups. CIA support of front groups was exposed after a 1967 Ramparts magazine article reported that the National Student Association received funding from the CIA. In the 1970s, Congressional investigations and reports also revealed Agency connections with journalists and civic groups. None of these reports, however, mentions an Operation Mockingbird coordinating or supporting these activities.

A Project Mockingbird is mentioned in the CIA Family Jewels report, compiled in the mid-1970s. According to the declassified version of the report released in 2007, Project Mockingbird involved the wire-tapping of two American journalists for several months in the early 1960s.

So, the conventional view of this is that this program ended by the time it was exposed, and then written about at length, such as the 1977 Rolling Stone article on it.

Can you provide some modern day reference (not a 4chan posting) to what you are talking about when you say "Operation Mockingbird being shut down"
