I hypothesize that the black hats had a 16-years plan, so if we "think mirror" the white hats must have a 16-year "counter plan". We are almost halfway through it now. In my opinion, 16 years of this nothing-burger fest and Trump taking "all the arrows" would be too much so I'm hoping for it to be 8 years of building up for the awakening with all this suffering and collateral and then 8 years for assimilating the awakening and transitioning into the new era.
