Muffled Cries of Injustice

You cannot justify ever trusting anyone representing the government system.
No, it’s never 100% the same in all places at all times. Rather, I offer here a description of trends. But as surely as God exists, you cannot possibly hope to convince people in authority to care about your real needs. When things get the least bit challenging, they will always treat us and handle us according to their need to stay in control. Press them much at all and they would rather we all die before they would surrender their power.
Go ahead; start working on it now. Get up a campaign and demand to be heard. Use whatever leverage you can muster and don’t let them ignore you. Make them sit still and listen. When the day comes something like a disaster strikes, everything you’ve demanded, everything to which they officially agreed in writing, will go out the window. Even if you could overwhelmingly replace everyone in office with your own slate of candidates serving your agenda, it won’t change the system. It has come a long, long way from what it once was even during my lifetime.
When the next disaster of any sort rolls through your community, any contact at all you have with police, and sometimes firemen, will likely be very unpleasant. If it happens they are vastly undermanned, totally overwhelmed by the scale of things, some outside agency will send in “help.” There is only one objective for any emergency assistance of that sort: control. Sure, they might feed you, clothe you and house you. They’ll also take away everything you have in the process, making the situation virtually identical to prison. They’ll have all sorts of excuses why it has to be that way, but they are likely to abuse you and kill you if you try to strike out on your own. And don’t you dare try to communicate with the outside world, especially regarding their complete lack of interest in human need.
That there will be some sort of disaster or crisis is virtually guaranteed. We are under God’s wrath and it’s building. Natural disasters are already scaling upward. Social unrest is guaranteed in at least a few places here in US as government policies and taxation become more oppressive. That’s also just getting started. Some parts of the country are doing okay locally, but no matter where you live in the US, chances are, if not you, then someone you know will go through a serious crisis this calendar year.
If your local government acts halfway reasonable, it’s that way already. There are too many factors involved to reduce to a paragraph here, but it does happen. Otherwise, if you have experienced bad behavior from authorities in the past, it will only get worse. I’ve seen how the authorities handle disasters here in Oklahoma County. I have experienced mind numbing, heartless abuse during that time. I know the whole story of why, but getting anyone to listen and consider changes took about ten seconds for them to dismiss. That was fifteen years ago and I have inside knowledge that it has only gotten worse. This, in a place where things are considered pretty easy with a government that tends to be comparatively responsive. It was right after my several years of service in the US Army Military Police. My professional experience meant nothing to them.
Accountability is just a word in the dictionary. You and I are accountable to them as resources needing management, nothing more.
By no means do I suggest we ramp up to fight this. I offer this warning simply for the sake of awareness. If you know it’s coming, you won’t be so shocked and make stupid mistakes that hurt yourself and others more than is necessary. Sure, if you have an escape, use it — any way humanly possible. Stay out of their direct control. Otherwise, start praying now for wisdom so that you can be a blessing and a voice of peace and stability when everyone else acts crazy.
