Anyone who has studies the end of the Roman Empire will realise it was not a single event but a long drawn out series of crises lasting many tens of years.
In the same way, possibly, we are seeing the end of the Western World via a collapse in all it's institutions - every arm of western society - police, npress, politics, finance.... is riddled through with corruption. We may see western society collapse in a wave of accounting scandals and confidence tricks.
