Three major events are going to happen on 17th October - the debt ceiling dead-line, and two Government drills (which anyone who has been paying attention knows is when most 'false flag' operations happen).

A final take on the same subject:

Certainly this US Government shut-down would offer someone with long-held ulterior motives the ideal opportunity to implement them. Blame could then be spread around - 'It was the Government shut-down' 'It was the Republicans!' 'It was North Korea' It was Iran' 'It was Mickie Mouse.....'

Couldn't get more ridiculously obvious than it is today that all is not what it appears to be.
