It is hard to not rapidly spiral into pure conspiracy theory territory, but one has to ask how many "black swan" events can you accept within a period of a few days before you start to question things?

A sequence of events:

  - Democrats win congress : it sets a clock to act before January
  - Jensen is taken out, throwing nVidia into chaos
  - Email comms are blacked out for an entire day across government and major enterprises
  - Air traffic is stopped nation wide the next day
Can anybody join these dots?

Too much pattern recognition. Lots more things have happened in the world as well over the last month, just because you heard of some of them doesn't mean the ones you heard of are connected.

Trust me I have the instinct as well. The PLA flew like 30 jets into Taiwan's aviation alert zone yesterday so I'm primed for any smell of something worse, but the fact is there's no reason to connect events barring evidence.
