Most definitely. So was "The clock is activated."
I also see direct expression of stage3. "Who is waiting with open arms w/ a plan to reorg."
I haven't thought much along the following lines, but from a distance without knowing ANY details, there is no doubt in my mind that there re many people who want to rule the world, and are in a position to substantially advance that outside of and above government control. Hidden rulers. In "The People's Almanac" vernacular, "Who really rules." This group is not literally invisible, they are known for the most part. What is not well known is their behind the scenes manipulation of the front-men puppets. The public sees the puppets as the rulers, governors.
Well, that same "behind the scenes" model can be used to set things right, too. To remove the power and influence of the puppet-masters, and restore, at least in part, government (and essential, a nation) by the principles expressed in the founding document.
Started when Adm. Rogers met with POTUS and he moved his team.
I hope stage 3 is just discussing how to dispose of the executed bodies of the criminals.
