I have a feeling that this disaster and how the recovery efforts have begun to unfold may be very foundational and showing us glimpses of the shifting of the times and changing of the guard unfolding. The evolving of the timeline, we are here for, of decentralized and empowered evolved human self governing nodes around the planet. 

There is no need to fight the existing system. The old system is crashing, it is getting wiped out and humanity is stepping in so we can build a new model making the old one entirely obsolete.
