What you're seeing is a system that is deeply invested in maintaining the status quo which benefits them at the expense of everyone else; that system is not above causing panic in order to rally the easily manipulated to its defense through fear and hate.
But I don't think you're wrong in your perception that we're at an inflection point.
A "President Donald J. Trump" didn't cause this 'rebellion' -- he's a tool of it. We caused "President Donald J. Trump".
But it was the corruption, usury, and usurpation of our franchise by that system that caused us to react that way. Enough of us were so fed up with the status quo that we rejected the Establishment. The Establishment, and those hopelessly conditioned to be loyal to it at any cost, has been throwing a histrionic tantrum ever since.
Fucking tough.
But even Trump has dropped hints that something major might be coming down the tailpipe.
Ie - his obsession with Fort Knox & whether the Gold is still there. He mentioned it the other day and he would be sending Elon Musk there.
In this clip Trump brings up Fort Knox and he's not even asked about it by the reporter:
But the talk about the National debt Trump spontaneously brings up this topic. So the National debt must be related to the gold reserves and how they plan to address it.
Personally I think the Gold is all there & has been since they started storing it. And Trump knows it is too.
But I think he's using that as a publicity stunt to signal that something is up, whether it be revaluation of Gold or currency reset or restructuring the US National Debt. Or possibly all the above.
But that's just a hunch/gut feeling nothing more.
