The movie references that are undefined:
Iron Eagle - Soldier who will not make General; Possibly McMaster who had to have Petraus brought in to bring him to rank of General. Also, IE's plot is pilot/hero who has to buck the system (stealing fighters) to save a soldier who faces certain death; this might play out as military (W&W) against rogue regime (Clowns/cabal) to save the country.
Hunt for Red October: Another hero officer who has to save everyone by opposing the regime in office - another allusion to the W&W against the clowns. Secondly, final problem has attacking sub destroyed by its own weapon; if the second scenario, then Mueller might fit the bill, turning the Russia Collusion back on the cabal. One notable quote from the movie: "We don't have to figure out how to get the crew off the sub. He's already done that, he would have had to. All we gotta do is figure out what he's gonna do." We don't have to know all of the cabal's plans. We just have to figure out what they are going to do. They love their symbols, and they can't help crowing about what they are about to do/just did. Did you see the superb owl symbology?
Godfather III - Bad guy tries to go legit, but the way he tries to go leads to corrupt "allies" and corrupt church. I think GFIII is the position almost everyone who is being allowed to "retire" is in. They didn't want to be pawns, but they were forced in to it, because even the whistleblower system was run by the cabal. Where do you turn when you are completely surrounded? You either 187 or you play the game.
Those are my guesses and thoughts. Open for debate and disagreement.
