I had some stray thoughts about the timing in the past week. If we accept that all of the constructs and entities that need to be removed/reformed/rebuilt/replaced have been building up for many decades (and are global in nature), then it should be apparent that this will not be an effort measured in weeks or months.

Perhaps the process will accelerate due to the interconnections involved. The visible top tier is under siege due to frozen funds and EOs in place to declare martial law, begin indictments on grounds of sedition/treason. The bottom tier, analogous to the street corner drug sellers and runners is being rolled up from several directions, at least in non-sanctuary venues.
Each increment of pressure is amplified, which would truncate the timeline you propose.
On a practical operational level, they cannot wait 8-16 years. That’s what has been wrong with the current process. Waiting, dragging things out allows the state of conflict to become normalized. The masses tune out. The committed lose hope. The perps burrow laterally as well as deeper.
Every source I’ve seen (and I only skim some, due to personal time constraints) mentions how people must be shielded from the enormity of this construct. I call BS. It’s more like rip off the damn bandage already. We can take the instant of agony better than they think.
I experienced a deep depression when I realized the extent of evil riddling global society. This was decades after accepting the amounts of lies and misinformation that formed my worldview and I only intuited a portion of the delusion.
So, is it better to cling to the illusions just a bit longer or have them shatter in one horrifying instant? Depends on what is in line to replace it.
If corrections and new controlling processes are ready to slide into place quickly (over no less than 2-3 months, IMO), it can all be accomplished before the November 2018 elections. Another 2 months of preparation to get the US past winter and spring weather events, 3 months of martial law, which should ensure minimal disruptions to the supply chain and a couple months of easing back so people are living normally again by September would do that. The worst environment during that time, IMO, would be in cities. Vulnerable infrastructure that is far-flung needs to be protected as well.
This is my interpretation of Q’s admonition to prepare and shrink our personal perimeter. Everyone is familiar with prepping. I think it comes down to white hat ability to protect the country and populace while taking out the seditionists and replacing the rottenness.
Admittedly, I have no military experience.
The committed lose hope. The perps burrow laterally as well as deeper.
I may be grossly mistaken, but I have always thought that the "process" will be carried out with an objective of "minimal public disruption" as part of the overall plan. I suspect that it has all been game-planned out.
If your timeframe is more accurate, then I say "Hold on to your hats because the ride will be very bumpy!!"
This reminds me of an interview I heard a couple of years ago and forgive me, I cannot remember where I heard it. Maybe on Glenn Beck. The guy was retired military of some sort and his job was to debrief folks who escaped from NK. When he interviewed one man and the escapee realized that the Kim’s weren’t God, that everything he had known for his whole life was a lie, he was completely undone. It was one of the most incredibly sad things I have ever heard and I cannot imagine having your whole world rendered false. He said the same thing happened with every single escapee.
Some good points.
