Do you think nothing is happening? You might want to think again. A week in review. Do you remember when Q wrote on Sunday February 9th of this week...

“Justice.

Q”

So what has happened since Q said this? 👇
1) This week:

The Epoch Times - China Insider
@EpochTimesChina
The @FBI published a wanted poster and an indictment of 4 “Chinese military-backed hackers” for their alleged roles in the 2017 #Cyberattack against credit company @Equifax.

Article by @JoshJPhilipp | (Thread👇) theepochtimes.com/hackers-indict…
The @FBI described the breach as “the largest known theft of personally identifiable information ever carried out by state-sponsored actors.”

Yet, despite the rare exposé of Chinese soldiers, little has been said about the #Hacker unit they were allegedly part of.
The case that most closely resembles this is the May 19, 2014, indictment of 5 Chinese #Military hackers for multiple alleged #Cybercrime acts committed between 2006 and 2014.

They were identified as being part of the #Chinese military, the People’s Liberation Army.
