The politicans are opening up the jails and using the corona virus as a convenient catalyst for their social justice agenda, mayors and AG’s are giving the orders not to arrest those who break the law and well funded think tanks and organizations by Soros and his ilk are in high gear to create the chaos needed to bring us down, reasons to be fearful
