Create a crisis the people demand to be saved from.
It was the reason Obamacare was designed the way it was too.

6 dots. Is that a reoccurring thing?
It ties into the 18 spaces. 3,6,9. Watch your six comes to mind.
In 1992, the European Union made what the Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz calls “a fatal decision”: the choice “to adopt a single currency, without providing for the institutions that would make it work.” In “The Euro: How a Common Currency Threatens the Future of Europe” (Norton), Stiglitz lucidly and forcefully argues that this was an economic experiment of unprecedented magnitude: “No one had ever tried a monetary union on such a scale, among so many countries that were so disparate.” The idea was to force Europe closer together politically by forcing it closer together monetarily—in effect, to engineer one of Monnet’s crises, the ones that would build Europe. The nineteen countries in the eurozone (out of twenty-eight in the E.U.) would adopt a single currency but would not have a parallel system to raise tax. There would be monetary union without fiscal union. A European Central Bank (E.C.B.) would run the currency and set interest rates, but there would be no pan-European finance ministry to run the economy. If you pitched this idea to a class in Economics 101, there would be an embarrassed pause, and eventually a hand would go up and someone would ask, “Is that even possible?” The answer: “Nobody knows.” The E.U. went ahead with its experiment anyway. To raise the stakes even further, there was no exit mechanism for the single currency: monetary union was, by design, irreversible.
