I used to believe that there would be some kind of event that would just blow the collective minds of the world. Arresting Biden on public TV, for example.
I've gradually changed to think that there will never be any such event.
Think of how special forces operate. We don't know anything about their missions. We don't know what they do. We don't know if the world has ever been moments away from some catastrophic event that was stopped/prevented. We don't know the names of the soldiers who perform clandestine operations.
We all definitely see the signs of the digital global war that's taking place every day. We see the clues, and most of us agree that we only see the tip of the iceberg. I don't see that changing. Even if we 'win' that war...I don't think we'll ever know, or if we do, it won't be for 50 years after when documents are declassed.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to see a mind-blowing event, the arrest of thousands of prominent global figures, and a complete end to the child trafficking (and worse) that goes on every day around the world. I just don't think we'll ever know. People will "retire" and disappear, "not run for re-election", will die "of a heart attack" or whatever other alternate-explanation they want to give the public, but people will never be told the actual truth of what's going on.
the long term viewpoint is the one we need to have. we need to remember that we are being put into the role of the parents in the room. we took on that role when we chose to help this happen and chose to believe in the plan. stepping back and looking at the big picture, "the 40,000 foot view" if i remember correctly, tells us that those in this for instant gratification will be disappointed. in the long run, we may never be proven correct, and will only know that we succeeded by seeing the ship turn a little at a time--the kind of turn that doesn't knock everything into the water.
