The trillions of dollars revealed to be missing a few-ish days before the 9/11 attacks. We forgot about that real quickly while our nation mourned. The world changed, moved on - we remember the terrorist attack, not the missing money.
Bear with me now.
The current state of our economy. Inflation, the bloated dying dollar. Some of these meme stock guys speak on amc or gme crippling the market, a permanent and irreparable shift in how the market historically benefits the big fish. This new age of crypto and the uncertainty of the future of world currency. Hedgefunds spend millions a day to make sure they don't lose billions…or trillions.
So, UFOs.
The next great "Hey, look over here!" might be fast approaching. It already started i think. The people have been given June/July. The ptb would have to create such an event in which the people as a collective whole would be mezmerized by a new found existential realization. The whole introduction of an advanced civilization from outer space would most certainly dead any talks of the suddenly turned mudane government shadiness, economy issues, or white collar crimes.
