Hi, Swordmaker.
I think “Like Clockwork” is just the common expression which means something like “you can count on it” or “right on schedule”.
In the two Q posts, I think it is just saying, “We predicted this would happen and here it is, just as predicted.”
Q said “Iran next” and then in post 1108, we see Iran making threats.
In post 554, Q says talking point went out to MSM at 4am, like clockwork (i.e., right on schedule, just like we told you).
I’m looking an post #s on qanon.pub, so might be slightly different if you’re looking elsewhere.
Thanks for the lexicon update! I find it very helpful.
