Long live the King... I don't know why this popped into my head this morning, but I was thinking that one of the most 'disruptive' events possible on the world's stage would be the death of Queen Elizabeth.  The Brits and the rest of the former Commonwealth would go into a paroxysm of mourning and transition amid shouts of 'Long live the King'.  The event will be televised globally with pomp and circumstance never before seen in our time.  The Queen is the titular head of the Deep State.  QE2 isn't ill, but the Brits have been known to off their monarchs expediently.  Need a global distraction?  Cue Big Ben.
