Their problem is they don't know what excuse to use because they can't make sense of it, and don't know who has flipped on who.  I think this is right on.  I think the strategy that the Q team is using is to first concentrate on removing their access to secure communications, and scaring the crap out of them as often as possible so they are afraid to do anything.  as in when Q keeps saying 'we have everything', the message is mostly meant for them to keep them paralyzed.  Let's say they wanted to release some terrible false attack.   They can't nuke a city without letting all their fellow Freemasons know.  What if some top players have been flipped?  How do you coordinate anything when your plans might be leaked to the good guys?  There are probably very few that can't be flipped.   Those are the ones that the white hats would never want to give that opportunity to.
