My inference - they know that whenever kids are taken to the water, something bad is likely to happen to them. If they’re lucky they’re taken to a yacht offshore (cough, NBC execs, cough?) - and the others ... don’t come back.
Prior consideration of “watch the water” considered the use of Miami based things (lots of stuff) involved with Haiti as a port of entry, etc. When Parkland happened, we were reminded of DWS involvement there etc. It’s all in the realm of “watch the water”
But, now, “Q” gives us a directive to read the article carefully, and it starts with this ref.
If I understand correctly, this guy (texokie posted bio above while handing me one of the special brownies on the other side of the plate lol) that is focus of the story is a white hat. I don’t think a black hat would be portraying the perps and things in the way the article (from last year) does.
I got the impression from the context that they use the question asking the children who’s afraid of the water as some kind of test + way to query the kids - if they’re scared of the water, there may (will) be a reason why.
ThanQ for those explanations about kids & water.
