America: You Will Go Insane Because of What Your Eyes
Will See

A
cloud of madness is descending on America, and most of us are completely
unprepared for the chaos that will be unleashed during the months ahead.
This
morning, I was reading through Deuteronomy when I came to a phrase that really
resonated with me.
In the Modern English
Version, this is what Deuteronomy 28:34
says: "You
will go insane because of what your eyes will see."
As
I read that, it struck me that this is precisely what America is heading for.
There are going to be people that have vast quantities of food and supplies
stored up that are still going to blow their brains out when they see what
happens to this country because they don't have any hope.
Without
hope, I don't know how anyone is going to make it through what is coming. If
you think that the unrest and
violence in Milwaukee are disturbing, just
wait for a while, because much, much worse is on the way.
On
Monday, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker declared a state of emergency in
Milwaukee, and the National Guard was brought in but not deployed after another
night of chaos made headlines all over the globe.
According
to Fox News, 11
police officers have been injured by the violence so far.
Chunks
of concrete and rocks hurled at police — and shards of glass from shattered squad
car windows — injured seven officers, upping the two-day tally to 11 wounded
cops, Police Chief Edward Flynn said on
Monday.
Additionally,
an 18-year-old man was shot and seriously injured, and officers had to use an
armored vehicle to retrieve the man and take him to a hospital. Flynn said the
city's ShotSpotter system recorded 30 instances of gunfire on Sunday night,
after 48 instances were recorded on Saturday.
It
has also been reported that another police vehicle was set on fire late Monday
night. Authorities are desperate to avoid a third night in a row like this, and
so a strict curfew has been
put in place.
"After
10 o'clock your teenagers better be home or in a place where they're off the
streets," Mayor Tom Barrett said.
Barrett
made the announcement as tensions remained high in the Sherman Park
neighborhood and police were out in force while the National Guard was on
standby and ready to move in if necessary.
And
that is one of the saddest things about this latest round of violence. So much
of it is being done by youngsters who are just kids. Their minds have been
poisoned, their emotions have been stirred up, and they are committing random
acts of violence that would have been unthinkable for American teens to commit
just a couple generations ago.
Racial
tensions are constantly being fueled by many of our politicians and by the big
mainstream news networks. As a result, instead of coming together as a country
and learning to love people no matter where they are from or what they look
like, we have entered a time when people are literally becoming fearful of
being around others who don't have the same skin color that they do.
Just
check out this quote from CNN."People
are afraid of each other," resident Reginald Jackson said last year.
"Black people are afraid of the white parts of town. White people are
afraid of the black and Latino parts of town."
Just
two days ago, I delivered an address down at Morningside that was all about
love. As a society, we have got to learn to love one another or we are simply
not going to make it.
Since
I am the publisher of several major websites, I get to review comments that
people leave on the various articles. Many of those comments never get
published on my websites, and in a lot of those instances this is because they
contain some of the most hateful racist language imaginable.
Every
single person, no matter who they are, where they are from or what they look
like, is of immense value. When we decide to believe otherwise, we are making
an absolutely tragic mistake.
It
isn't just in Milwaukee that violence is rising.
Over
in Chicago, we just witnessed the deadliest day in more than a decade. As I
recently detailed on The Most Important
News, there are at least 150,000 gang
members living in Chicago today, and only about 13,000 law enforcement officers
of all types to deal with them. That means that the police are outnumbered by a
more than 10 to 1 margin, and at this point shootings are up about 50 percent compared
to the same time last year.
Last
week the Chicago Tribune pointed
out that nearly 100 people had been shot in Chicago in less than a week. 9
people were killed on Monday alone marking the deadliest day for the city in 13
years.
Now,
with weekend data out, turns out the story is even worse. For the week ended
8/13, a total of 110 people were shot in Chicago with 24 of them killed. YTD
statistics indicate the city is spiraling out of control with total shootings
up to 2,621, a mere ~50% YoY increase, with 445 total homicides.
The
ironic thing is that Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the entire
nation. Obviously, what the liberal politicians have been attempting to do
is not working.
The
following comes from the New York Times:
Not a
single gun shop can be found in this city because they are outlawed. Handguns
were banned in Chicago for decades, too, until 2010, when the United States
Supreme Court ruled that was going too far, leading city leaders to settle for
restrictions some describe as the closest they could get legally to a ban
without a ban. Despite a continuing legal fight, Illinois remains the only
state in the nation with no provision to let private citizens carry guns in
public.
If
unrest and violence are spiking this dramatically in places like Milwaukee and
Chicago now, what are things going to be like when economic conditions start
getting really, really bad in this nation?
During
the months and years ahead, we are all going to see things that we never
thought we would see happen in America.
In
a world gone crazy, people are going to need hope, and that is why hope is
going to become a larger and larger part of my message.
Hal
Lindsey once said that
we "can live about 40 days without
food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air ... but
only for one second without hope."
So
let us all be a source of hope, because it is going to be in very short supply
during the days to come.
