Another angle is that we know the financial oligarchy plans to eventually transition to the SDR/Special Drawing Rights system (see Rickards' Ice-9 presentation). This will most likely be in response to a big global financial crisis that they themselves induce pre-emptively before an unplanned crisis can occur on its own.
The crux of the idea is that the crisis will be too big for the tapped out Fed to deal with, and the only source of sufficient liquidity for the required global bailout will be the IMF with their SDRs.
The good news (I think) is that if they powers that be were planning to do this Ice-9 mega crisis soon, they wouldn't be so eager to restore the Fed's balance sheet and normalize US interest rates. This suggests they don't want to do Ice-9 at this time.
But a darker possibility is that they will use the Fed's tightening actions as the trigger for the Ice-9 crisis, and they don't care about the Fed getting the blame since that will reinforce the US Fed as the bad guy who needs to be subordinated to the IMF.
Who knows, but with the world run by such scheming bastards (the 'Gnomes of Zurich'), you unfortunately have to assume the worst. Another possibility is that the N. Korea situation will be the trigger, in which case there are a million possibilities and variations, none of which are good.
