What Do You Do When The Country Where You Live Is Literally Going Insane?

Do you ever get the feeling that the world around you is going crazy? If you live in America today and you are not in a television-induced coma, then you have probably had that feeling. It seems like almost everywhere you turn these days, there is someone that is seriously losing it. It is not just our politicians either. In every profession and on every level of society there are lots of people that appear to be a few fries short of a Happy Meal. So what do you do when the country where you live is literally going insane? When paranoia, fear and delusional thinking are commonplace, it is very difficult for a society to function normally. And unfortunately, some of the craziest people out there are working for the federal government. These days you literally do not know who you can count on. If you contact someone in a position of authority, that person may help you or that person may turn out to be a raving lunatic. Once upon a time, there was a feeling that most people in America shared a set of common values, but those days are long gone. These days, it seems like nearly everyone has their own idea of what “right and wrong” are, and so when you meet someone you never know what you are going to get. What may seem “totally insane” to you may seem perfectly normal to the person that you are trying to interact with.

Yes, of course part of the problem is that the U.S. population has been very much “dumbed-down” over the years. Our government schools are pumping out millions upon millions of kids that are dumb as a rock, and our entertainment industry is slowly turning the American people into a bunch of jibbering idiots.

But our problems go way beyond the fact that a large percentage of our population is uneducated. The truth is that some of the most paranoid and irrational Americans you will meet are actually very highly educated.

For example, it really does take someone extremely paranoid to believe that we need to strip-search 80-year-old women at our airports for the sake of national security.

Have you ever met someone that is truly paranoid? Everyone and everything is a threat to them.

Well, it is the same thing with those running the Department of Homeland Security. The size of the “no fly list” in the U.S. has more than doubled over the past 12 months. A year ago, there were about 10,000 names on it, and today there are approximately 21,000 names on it.

In fact, your name might be on it right now and you may never even know until you try to get on to an airplane.

But the “terrorist” watch list is even worse. The “terrorist watch list” now has over a million names on it. According to the Washington Post, a “single tip” can get you put on to that list forever.

In America today, we are all “potential terrorists”, and we have been told that we must give up our rights so that the government can keep us safe from the “dangerous people” that could be living right down the street from us.

Yes, there are real terrorists out there, but getting us all scared to death of our neighbors is not going to help anything.

Sadly, the truth is that it is often law enforcement authorities that we need to be most afraid of.

The other day, a team of FBI agents hacked down the front door of one lady’s apartment with a chainsaw….

“I just happened to glance over and saw this huge chainsaw ripping down the side of my door,” she explains. “And I was freaking out. I didn’t know what was going on.”

They had her on the floor for 35 minutes before they finally figured out that they had the wrong apartment.

Oops.

Of course the criminals are becoming more insane as well, and they are increasingly acting in groups. Over the past few years, we have seen a frightening rise in the number of crimes committed by mobs of criminals. The following is one recent example from Syracuse, New York….

Authorities say a group of nine people swarmed a neighborhood grocery store in Syracuse and stole nearly $40,000 by distracting the clerk and blocking her view.

Syracuse police tell local media that they believe the thieves are a roving band of scam artists who target small stores with few employees.

A few months ago, I wrote an article about the flash mob epidemic that we are now seeing in America. Large groups of kids are banding together and are deciding that it would be a really good idea to go out and commit a crime together.

Some would call such behavior stupidity while others would call it sheer insanity.

But whatever you want to call it, the reality is that it is quite an alarming trend.

People also seem to be becoming more sadistic these days as well.

The other day, two sisters in Wisconsin were arrested for sexually assaulting a man with a pair of pliers and having him drink a glass of urine.

Does anyone remember women acting this way 40 or 50 years ago?

Unfortunately, if you are a victim of a crime and you call the authorities for help, you never know what you are going to get.

If a good police officer responds, you may get help.

If a bad police officer responds, you may get raped. Yes, that is actually true. Sometimes the police end up being even worse than the criminals. When one 19-year-old single woman in Milwaukee called 911 for help, she didn’t expect to get raped by the police. But that is exactly what happened.

Teachers are probably even worse. As I wrote about the other day, another story appears in the mainstream media about some teacher doing perverted things with students almost every single day now.

So what should you do?

Should you just go live out in the middle of the woods somewhere to escape all of this insanity?

Unfortunately, that will not work either. The crazies can find you back there too. The following is a comment that a reader identified as BenjiK shared on one of my recent articles….

I had a 1962 Chevy Bel-Air given to me by my grandfather that was stored under a car cover, behind a solid fence, and COMPLETELY out of public site. It was going to be a project for me and the kids when they got a little older. We lived on over 2 acres, on a dirt road, outside the city limits and we were friends with the few neighbors we had. I received a letter in the mail from the county stating I had 30 days to get the “abandoned” vehicle out of my yard or face fines up to $117 a day for every day not in compliance. I about flipped. Upon contacting a county official I learned that I wasn’t being “singled out”, this was a county wide “crackdown” on “unsightly debris”. When I explained there was no possible way that the car was visible to ANYONE, I was informed the county was using “satellite imagery” for enforcement.

However, they were “gracious” enough to give me 3 options: 1) Get rid of the vehicle 2) Get the vehicle in running condition and license and insure it or 3) Build an extra garage to store it in. (Of course contingent upon the county’s approval, paid permits, fees, inspections, etc….)

We ended up storing it in our 2-car garage with my truck sitting outside until we sold our home and moved.

Isn’t that comforting?

They could be using a satellite to look at your home right now and you would never even know it.

Our country is becoming crazier all the time…..MORE HERE
