“LOCK YOUR DOORS, LOAD YOUR GUNS AND GET YOU A BARKING, BITING DOG”
Michael Snyder – The End of the American Dream March 6, 2019
Is this a sign of what is coming for the rest of the nation? In Martin County, Kentucky times are very tough right now.
Thanks to severe budget cutbacks, there are only two paid law enforcement officers covering a deeply impoverished 231-square-mile area that sits right in the heart of America’s raging opioid crisis. Needless to say, Martin County Sheriff John Kirk feels greatly outnumbered by the thieves, sexual predators and drug dealers that he has to contend with on a daily basis, and he recently issued a very ominous warning to the citizens of his county…
Before making a wave of cutbacks across his department, Martin County Sheriff John Kirk delivered a grim warning to residents of this hardscrabble Appalachian community.
“Law enforcement as we have known for the last four years will not exist,” he posted on Facebook last month. “WE ARE BROKE… LOCK YOUR DOORS, LOAD YOUR GUNS AND GET YOU A BARKING, BITING DOG. If the Sheriff’s office can’t protect you, WHO WILL?”
So why can’t Martin County afford more law enforcement officers?
Well, like so many other local communities all across America right now, they are deep in debt and flat broke…
The county has accumulated $1.4 million in debt — a surprise to many of its new officials.
“I don’t sleep well,” said Susan Hale, the county’s new treasurer, who is sifting through the bills left by the previous administration: $230,000 to a regional jail that houses its inmates, $140,000 to a state association that provides liability insurance, plus dribs and drabs for mundane items such as office supplies and toilet paper.
As economic conditions continue to deteriorate, we are going to hear a lot more stories like this all over the country.
And the truth is that things will ultimately be far worse in our major cities than in our rural areas.
Just take a look at Chicago. Today it is a war zone, and the growing poverty in the city has fueled the rapid growth of criminal gangs.
According to a study conducted at the University of Illinois at Chicago, approximately half of the city was considered to be “middle income” in 1970, but now that number has dropped to just 16 percent…
UIC’s maps show that fully half of the city was middle income in 1970, including large swaths on every side of town. Today, just 16 percent of the city’s 797 census tracts are considered middle income. Those middle income areas are confined mostly to the corners of the city, and to thin strips between areas of wealth and poverty.
Those numbers are absolutely staggering.
Right now, there are about 12,000 law enforcement officers and more than 100,000 gang members in the city of Chicago.
That means that the gang members outnumber the police by an almost 10 to 1 margin.
Things are not quite as bad in other major cities, but trouble is definitely brewing. For example, the murder rate in New York City is up 37 percent so far this year, and more gang members are moving in with each passing day.
Philadelphia has also seen the murder rate rise substantially, and this is something that Jim Quinn commented on in his most recent article…
Facts are always inconvenient to welfare state Democrats, but the ignorance of their constituents is what keeps them in power. The narrative of Philadelphia getting safer is obliterated by the 351 murders in 2018, up 43% since 2013, and the highest level since 2007.
Assaults involving a gun totaled 2,327, up 13% since 2014. There were over 14,000 violent crimes and 63,000 robberies and thefts in 2018. The vast majority of these crimes occur in West and North Philadelphia, as local news stories lead with multiple murders and shootings every night (average of 4 shootings per day).
If things are this bad already, what are things going to look like when economic conditions get really bad?
We live at a time when Americans are becoming increasingly pessimistic. And even though economic conditions have been relatively stable in recent years, the combined national death rate from alcohol, drugs and suicide has been steadily rising…
Feelings of hopelessness and despair are overwhelming many in the U.S. So much so, that people are turning to alcohol, drugs, and suicide to numb the pain of their lives. Government enslavement and the stranglehold on the economy are making life even more difficult on those already struggling to get by. And this is seen in new death numbers released.
The national rate for deaths from alcohol, drugs, and suicide rose from 43.9 to 46.6 deaths per 100,000 people in 2017, a 6 percent increase, the Trust for America’s Health and the Well Being Trust reported Tuesday. That was a slower increase than in the previous two years, but it was greater than the 4 percent average annual increase since 1999, reported USA Today.
The big reason why people are turning to alcohol, drugs and suicide to deal with the pain in their lives is because they don’t have any hope. And as this country continues to literally fall apart all around us, unfortunately a lot more Americans are likely to give in to anxiety, depression and despair.
If we want to turn this nation around, we need to act now.
Peace be with the reader. The time is now, take out your two edged sword, the spoken and the written Word, prepare to make war. The two witnesses, the faithful one @judgmenttime
“We need to act now”….what exactly is he suggesting…nothing short of a revolution will change a thing.
Powerful Jews have a stranglehold on all branches of government and every time an election is held they make sure Americans have the choice of voting for a Jewish candidate on BOTH sides.
It is NOT a coincidence that both Trump and Clinton’s daughters BOTH married Jews….since Clinton and Trump are crypto Jews….there is absolutely no doubt about that.
Economic mismanagement has brought about the current situation….and the corruption of course.
The Clinton’s….starting out were middle class lawyers….they were not factory owners or business people……so HOW do you explain that today the Clinton’s are worth in excess of $100,000,000….The Obama’s are multimillionaire too of course and let’s not forget that Nobel Prize…
All of this stuff is the by product of gross corruption…AND they get away with it…..
Then there is the media of course….Take the TV series Madame Secretary….with its all Jewish cast.
Recently it has had the ABSURD plot where the Jewish actress playing the lead role ushers into her office three”unlikely” guests…none other than Hillary Clinton,Madeline Albright and a former black military man Colin Powell.
How are dumb Americans going to handle distinguishing between fact and fiction….In this plot “white supremacists” are somehow linked to a bomb plot….Question….since Jews run wall street and the Federal Reserve and the media and Homeland Security and the CIA….HOW exactly are whites supreme….it doesn’t add up does it.If any ethnicity is “supreme” then it is OBVIOUSLY Jewish.
A later episode attempts to link these supremacists with Russia.
This Madame Secretary programme is nothing but poorly disguised Zionist propaganda.
Commonsense would have dictated that American industry is not shifted abroad to places like China…But the motive was to enrich the elites with greater profits from cheap Labour….and the Americans are now paying the price for the disastrous outcome.
The widespread opioid abuse actually HELPS the corrupted elites….because so many Americans are zombified by excessive drug use…..too drugged up to attempt to change their situation.
I So agree with Ted above. I’m starting to list the writers who are jew-blind – they apparently just Can’t see them. I’m still pondering at what level they really know the truth – that they are agents of Chaos, the bad guys.
But what I wanted to talk about here is how totally this author distorts the true situation by simply being Race-Blind – LIKE HE”S SUPPOSED TO BE!
He misreports by ‘merely’ forgetting to mention that the ‘crime’ is almost all black crime. The degradation of cities is because blacks moved in. etc
How can anyone claim to ‘report’ reputably on anything while admitting to being ‘blind’ to some things?
Pointing fingers and blaming others, the so called ‘Jews’ or ‘blacks’, for everything that is wrong in the world is not going to solve any problems. The enemy is within, rather embark on a process of introspection, self examination. It was an American Indian that put his finger on real problem facing the world today.
Oh, Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds, and whose breath gives life to all the world – hear me – I come before you, one of your children. I am small and weak. I need your strength and wisdom. Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset. Make my hands respect the things you have made, my ears sharp to hear your voice. Make me wise, so that I may know the things you have taught my People, the lesson you have hidden in every leaf and rock. I seek strength not to be superior to my brothers, but to be able to fight my greatest enemy, myself. Make me ever ready to come to you, with clean hands and straight eyes, so when life fades as a fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame.

As every competent troubleshooter knows (e.g. engineers), correctly identifying the nature and source of a problem is the first step in developing the solution for its elimination. Predatory personalities will never embark upon introspection and self-examination, and its wasted breath to propose they do so. They must be identified, isolated, and denatured if possible. At the same time, a revision of the social structure that produces them must also take place.

Hi JB
Your comment makes sense, the question of what a ” competent troubleshooter ” is, however, remains. The source of the problem is the human mindset, whether a person has a rational, or an irrational mindset, it is an absolute. The revision of the social structure will resolve the problem, and it has already begin.
