LOOP: (#1354) Several possibilities:

OODA LOOP: the decision cycle of observe, orient, decide, and act, developed by military strategist and United States Air Force Colonel John Boyd. Boyd applied the concept to the combat operations process, often at the operational level during military campaigns. It is now also often applied to understand commercial operations and learning processes.

Colonel John Boyd’s OODA Loop Logic Flow Diagram
The approach favors agility over raw power in dealing with human opponents in any endeavor. (Thanks to FreeQ spokeshave2).
”Informed,” from “inside the loop” or “outside the loop.” (See CIA, FBI, NSA, DS, SIGLE).
Loop Capital Markets, CEO Robert Rivkin, major donor to Obama, and a “Pay for Play” donor to the Clinton Foundation which made a $100,000 donation to the CF, and then received $5 million in bonds made tax-free with the assistance of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. (See CF, HRC, Obama).
The Loop in Chicago. The Loop is the 1.79-mile long circuit of elevated rail that forms the hub of the Chicago "L" system in Chicago, Illinois. It essentially surrounds the Chicago downtown and Financial District.

Pickle: (#1359) Several possible meaning:

The secondary Dictionary definition is: “. . . a difficult or messy situation with no obvious solution.”
In Baseball, a pickle most likely derives from the second dictionary definition of "pickle" in that it refers to a runner stuck between bases while two opposing team players are tossing the ball back and forth so that he can never safely reach a base. I.e. he’s in a pickle. (Thanks to FreeQ pocketdoor)
Military command of "PICKLE!" is used mostly by fighter and bomber aircrew when all the firing and aiming parameters are met for releasing a bomb or firing a rocket/missile and the weapons release point is optimal, the verbal command "PICKLE!" is issues, meaning release/fire ordnance RIGHT NOW! (Thanks to FreeQ Gritty).
The 'Pickle' button is what you push to release a bomb. Likely related to the previous definition This one comes from WWII—as in being accurate enough to drop a bomb into a pickle barrel—“pickle” in Q's reference could be dropping a bomb. (Thank FreeQ eldoradude).
The CIA has been nicknamed the “Pickle Factory” since at least 1963, when that name was cited in print. The CIA’s intelligence briefings sent to the president were called “pickles,” derived from the acronym "PICL", which stood for "President's Intelligence Check List," (pronounced "pickle"), which was developed for President Kennedy in June 1961. Since these were prepared largely by the CIA, the joking appellation "The Pickle Factory" was soon coined for their source. In 1965, the PICL was replaced by the President’s Daily Briefing (PDB), a much duller acronym, but the "Pickle Factory" stuck for a few years in the press. (Thanks to FreeQ Steven W.).(See CIA)
German-American Christmas Pickle tradition is to hide a glass pickle ornament somewhere on the Christmas tree. First child to find the pickle on the tree Christmas morning gets either an extra Santa present or good luck all year, depending on family tradition. Said to originate from a Bavarian-born Civil War Private John C. Lower had enlisted in the 103rd Pennsylvania Infantry, but was captured in April 1864 and taken to the infamous Andersonville prison camp. As the story is told, on Christmas Eve he begged a guard for for food while starving. The guard provided a pickle, which Lower later credited for saving his life. After returning to his family, he began a tradition of hiding a pickle on their Christmas tree each year. (Thank to my German-American girlfriend Kathy).
Pickle, on a humorous note, is Swordmaker’s six year old granddaughter’s nickname.

SIGLE: (#1358) Spotted as an assumed misspelling in Q drop #1358 “We fight every sigle day on behalf of you, the people who put us here,” (emphasis added) it appears that Q’s admonition that spelling counts is true. So far FreeQs have identified two possibilities:
SIGLE could be the “System for Information on Grey Literature in Europe” which was established in 1980 to disseminate information to government agencies between the participating nations. Ostensibly SIGLE data is available to others as well. Although supposed Governmental funding of SIGLE ceased in 1985, a new network for the acquisition, identification and dissemination of grey literature was formed called “European Association for Grey Literature Exploitation” or “EAGLE,” which became the producer of the SIGLE database. Input to the database ended in 2005 when the EAGLE General Assembly decided to the liquidate the network. However, in 2007, together with the last EAGLE operating agent, FIZ Karlsruhe, integrated the SIGLE records into a new open access database called OpenSIGLE hosted by the French STI centre Institut de l'information scientifique et technique at the French National Center for Scientific Research (INIST-CNRS). Cataloguing rules and classification scheme were adopted from the International Nuclear Information System (INIS) database produced by the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency).

CMS Hasche Sigle: the first international Company to open in Iran after Obama lifted sanction following the non-signing of the non-nuclear pact. The company, headquartered in Berlin, is a partnership of lawyers and international tax advisers. In the firm are a total of around 1,200 employees at eight locations in Germany (Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Cologne, Leipzig, Munich, Stuttgart) and six offices abroad (Brussels, Hong Kong, Moscow, Beijing, Shanghai and Tehran). Work in Germany employs 560 professionals (FTE) for CMS Hasche Sigle, of which 200 are partners and 360 associates. (Thanks to FreeQ Generally). (See Iran)
