Anyone else get the sense that something unseen is directing some form of attack at those in perceived postions of power?

The world seems to be falling apart for those at the top of society whether they be generals, bankers or relgious leaders. They no longer seem to be able to hold on to their power its like something or someone has come along and taken the power from them and now it or they are directing it against those in perceived postions of power.

Maybe its me but it seems theres something at play here which no one was truely expecting.
