Dystopia On The Horizon?

Police officers patrol the perimeter at the scene of a fatal shooting in Vila Velha, Espirito Santo, Brazil

Is this our future? Will we eventually become a third world nation?

As a Reuters report recounts, soldiers patrolled abandoned streets in downtown Vitoria, stopping and frisking the occasional pedestrian against shuttered store fronts. State officials said they needed hundreds more federal troops and members of an elite federal police force to help establish order and make up for the absence of some 1,800 state police who normally patrol Vitoria's metropolitan area.

In America:
Politicians Are Now Making Plans In Case The Public Turns Against Them Violently
As protests continue to break out all around the nation over President Donald Trump’s desire to scrap Obamacare, Politico reported Tuesday that many politicians are beginning to worry about their own personal safety — to the point where some are having private sessions to discuss the matter.

Citing sources who were in the room, Politico writes:
House Republicans during a closed-door meeting Tuesday discussed how to protect themselves and their staffs from protesters storming town halls and offices in opposition to repealing Obamacare.

Some of the suggestions, the news outlet reports, include “having a physical exit strategy at town halls, or a backdoor at congressional offices to slip out of, in case demonstrations turn violent; having local police monitor town halls; replacing any glass office-door entrances with heavy doors and deadbolts; and setting up intercoms to ensure those entering congressional offices are there for appointments, not to cause chaos.”

While protests are popping up all over, the Republicans’ private session was no doubt prompted by events that happened over the weekend. While speaking before a raucous crowd in Roseville, California, Representative Tom McClintock had to be escorted from the stage and away from the event by local police officers.

McClintock, who held town hall meetings during the politically volatile days of both the Tea Party and Occupy movements, told The Hill he’s never seen anything like it:

This was something very different. After an hour, the incident commander for the Roseville Police Department advised us the situation was deteriorating and felt it necessary to get me out of the venue. That’s never happened before. More

Much has been written as to just who and what these demonstrators/protester/rioters  truly represent and who is behind them. They are not just disgruntled Hillary supporters. They are a well organized collection of groups funded by a resolute and most dangerous enemy within. Let us all pray that events will not lead to blood in the streets, but it may well come to that.  It may be a long and exhausting battle. Be Prepared!

The Spartans lost at  Thermopolae because they were allegedly betrayed by an enemy within. However, even if they had not have been sabotaged, they were out woefully numbered. They did manage to buy time for the rest of Greece. Their bravery, tenacity, and willingness to die became an everlasting legend in the annals of history. We may well need the Spartan spirit.
