Notice that the media keeps saying that all the (well deserved) hate directed against them is endangering the people working at these corporations. If no doped up person on psychotropic drugs comes to fulfill their wish they'll stage some attack themselves, or sacrifice one of their own and run a false flag.
Also I expect more hacking and cyber attacks to give TPTB a reason to crack down on internet. Combined with stringent hate speech laws basically killing free speech.
They often apply the strategy to make the current situation worse then the one they want to implement. Imagine a largely dysfunctional internet with hardware being damaged and data loss all over the place. Hitting large numbers of businesses and persons. And as soon as the proposed solution is accepted they stop the attacks in a theatrical manner that makes them look good.
