Two instances in 340 years is not a great data pool to work with, I will grant, but if you take a grab sample of other countries around the world you’ll see this could be much worse.

I like that the author did go around the world and included all kinds of uprisings. Our government is currently the second longest surviving government in the world. Only the Vatican has been around longer. This gives us a skewed trust in government institutions as being more safe and secure than private institutions and families, but in reality that isn't the case. Just like we had a lot of trust in our banks, until they completely failed, our government institutions will run along and everything will appear to be fine, until one day they don't.

And that one day is rapidly approaching.

We’ve been stable as long as we’ve been a Christian nation working on the Judeo-Christian ethic.

Now that that has fallen, or rather been pushed to the wayside, it’s just a matter of time.

We’ve been in this slide for a long time, riding the coattails of our heritage and enjoying the blessings and peace that some from a moral framework.

That is quickly eroding and I fear our time is short before the SHTF scenario.

Elites have a vested interest in concealing the approach of a major disaster, until after THEY are fully safe.

What happens when common people hear something bad is coming, like Hurricane Katrina? They bug out of their jobs, in order to take care of their own homes and families. Including the cops, utility workers, gas station attendants, and all the other people you might depend on being there at their jobs.
