Found some interesting information related to Red Cross and Red October a bit of a rabbit hole. Does anyone know if The Modern History Project isn’t a legit source? Could Red October refer to political revolution?

Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution How western capitalists funded Lenin, the Bolsheviks, and the Soviet Union

Formation of the Red Cross War Council The Wall Street project in Russia in 1917 used the Red Cross Mission as its operational vehicle. Both Guaranty Trust and National City Bank had representatives in Russia at the time of the revolution. Frederick M. Corse of the National City Bank branch in Petrograd was attached to the American Red Cross Mission, of which a great deal will be said later. Guaranty Trust was represented by Henry Crosby Emery. Emery was temporarily held by the Germans in 1918 and then moved on to represent Guaranty Trust in China.

The Red Cross was unable to cope with the demands of World War I and in effect was taken over by these New York bankers. According to John Foster Dulles, these businessmen "viewed the American Red Cross as a virtual arm of government, they envisaged making an incalculable contribution to the winning of the war." In so doing they made a mockery of the Red Cross motto: "Neutrality and Humanity."

The members of the mission received no pay. All expenses were paid by William Boyce Thompson and the $200,000 from International Harvester was apparently used in Russia for political subsidies. We know from the files of the U.S. embassy in Petrograd that the U.S. Red Cross gave 4,000 rubles to Prince Lvoff, president of the Council of Ministers, for "relief of revolutionists" and 10,000 rubles in two payments to Kerensky for "relief of political refugees."

Quote from this website, “Who controls the past controls the future... ...who controls the present controls the past." -- GeorgeOrwell, from "1984"

From Wiki:

The October Revolution officially known in Soviet literature as the Great October Socialist Revolution , and commonly referred to as Red October, the October Uprising, the Bolshevik Revolution, or the Bolshevik Coup, was a revolution in Russia led by the Bolsheviks and Vladimir Lenin that was instrumental in the larger Russian Revolution of 1917. It took place with an armed insurrection in Petrograd on 7 November (25 October, Old Style) 1917.

Same year the Red Cross was active in Russia. Trivia?

Interesting. Q said their symbolism will be there down fall. What if Red October is a troll? What if the rats actually named their coup Red October and Q has been trolling them for a year?
