Media shutdown will occur just after a declaration of martial law and just before swat team roundups of “undesirables”. Ask yourself why FEMA has miles of chain link fence stashed around the country along with ridiculous amounts of ammunition. This will be phase II of WWIII, most likely launched after a NATO provoked nuclear exchange. The globalist financial oligarchy is running out of time and they will nuke the planet to keep it safe for fascism rather than see their financial rat lines exposed and made public fodder.
