/If someone was working behind the scenes, wouldn't it be be better to just keep it secret? Announcing it on Twitter would seem to be stupid.

After all, if Qanon's allies could figure out what the gibberish meant, than it's enemies could too. So why give your enemies a heads up?

It would be like playing poker with your cards showing.

This was my point very early on. I spent a lot of my military time doing OPSEC and it literally made zero sense to me to tell the inner workings of a top secret operation - to the entire world - including the enemy. It was the equivalent of Churchill saying to all of England, The US and Russia: "OK chaps - we are going to land over HERE in Normandy - not Calais - between June 5th and the 7th. But for God's SAKE - Don't tell the Germans!"

And the closer we got the the 6th of June-Churchill decided it was in the best interest of Operation Overlord to broadcast the above information on all frequencies.
