The coma of the post industrializing nations is so deep, the very powers that be must use these kinds of "news breaks" and shills like Alex Jones and others so that atleast 1 in 1000 people can know what is coming, and that can provide the needed resistance to aid martial containment, otherwise it would be like an invasion on sleeping cows if not for a few people in the masses clued in by the power that be to aid a little awareness of the reality unfolding, when it actually develops by accerated means.
Not that all of this is "enginered dissent", but that it must be "leaked" out to get the ball rolling, and it has been rolling since even before the internet web aid, but now is on "auto pilot" and aided by some top navigation "whistleblowers" who also create some very profitable cottage industries at the same time, like Y2K, all engineered to look like "truth" that cannot be hidden any longer, but is truth that can be hidden so successfully 99% of America and the EU are sleeping ducks, and it needs a horn blast from the castle itself to get the wake up call rolling in a very small percentage of those ducks.
Or else of course there would be no need for the national invasion by it's own "security" forces, so one will be provided, and probably catalyzed similar to the 911 overall "cause and effect" device, but at much larger scale, yet echoeing the same call to world invasion (GWOT continuation of world war in some unique form), and more internal security, but also at much larger scale globally now.
If some people were not outright told of this, they would never put it together, the coma devices of distraction are simply too effective. So, a reverse psychology education program is deployed under a veneer aided by first impressions and predictable linear thinking to direct this social current for even more divisive developments, and more internal confusions, even if less than a percent of the socieity, it ripples out in other ways as a gradation of awareness in many realms of national intrgues, like finance, security, GMO whistleblowing, and so on, etc, etc, etc, etc.
