For myself, I've been keeping one eye on the "shutdown" and it's timing, how it pretty much coincided with the recent talk about emergency
supplies sent to FEMA which contains Washington DC which if I'm remember was due to delivery deadline Oct. 1(? Or was it the 5th, I'm going to be
fuzzy on dates as I'm not at my computer) and all the talk of no Military leave being issued or allowed for a chunk of time (not sure where that
stands at the moment) leading into Nov. when they've scheduled a "blackout drill".
I don't know about everyone else, but these days when I hear "military drill" and how often it seems to be in conjunction with so many blizzard
things like "yes we had a drill about a subway bombing in England, but then that day there was a bombing" or "yeah we had a drill for a school
shooting and then there was one the next town over..." I have to lean to predictive programming.
Here's an -IF- : what if, the shutdown is causing so much distraction and hoopla so that it is, yes, a distraction, so that they're prepping for
future martial law situation so that when they begin to run "drills" that look like martial law, nobody panics because, that stuff going on outside
the house? Well it's alright, that's just a drill giving them the ability to get ML rolling without people contacting each other and bugging out.
Okay, maybe that's reaching, but, maybe not, additionally, if you plan a blackout drill, same thing. If the real thing happens, they get the edge of
some head start before people start bugging out. Very few of us are going to bug out at the first sign of anything, we have to really feel like it's
"point of no return" and calling something a drill has a placebo effect.
Back to the "shutdown", it suspect it's a hydra with lots of heads which are multitasking. On one hand, they've got some people who are deeply
system dependent by the short hairs. Also, they get to post jackbooted thugs in national parks and monuments, more acclimation to tyrannical
occupation, and it also does a major Red vs Blue puppet show (bread and circus, baby) for the video drones. I'm sure it does other things but that's
my two cents.
It's without a doubt a Damoclean sword for Prob/React/Solution.
