Thanks for sharing this, OP!

WIthout going into details, as far as I can tell, everything you're describing fits the big picture perfectly.

That dots + lines thing is interesting, would be great to hear if you've had any ideas of what it might refer to.

I'm quite sure things will start from the US, and I'm afraid it won't be pretty. Stuff will probably be coming in from both above and below, if the current signs are to be taken seriously.
