How high of an IQ do you need to have to understand the correlation between defunding the police and the rising crime rate?

When it comes to the ruling class, I doubt that it is a question of high or low IQ. It's more a question of its intent.  Sadly, the intent seems to be to create chaos and anarchy.  Stifle (or remove) the police, and chaos and anarchy is the result.

You're right.  If you are looking for the name of it, it's called The Great Reset.   I think it will eventually succeed, because people are not aware that it's going on, and because it has worked before in the past (compare to Перестрoйка (pronounced Perestroika, and means Restructuring)), and I believe Satan himself is behind it.  The reason it's called the Great Reset, is that it will be world-wide.

I believe that the Great Reset will eventually become Satan's one world government and all this nonsense like defunding police is a part of it.

Do you understand what defund the police even means? It  means reallocating money from policing to other agencies funded by local municipalities. Such as  essential social services that are often underfunded. Like housing, education, employment, mental health care, and youth services.

Yes, fewer police officers.

Which might not be needed because money is going into youth programs and in return cutting down on gang violence, drug usage etc., which in turn is cutting down on crime. 

There is no way that that will end well. No way--this is indicated by the increased crime in these cities as police are either absent or have their collective hands tied. Criminals see and "all clear" sign and then do what they do.

These proposed policies are just on the north side of insanity.

But I see the crime rate is going up, and I suspect very little is going into youth programs.

Perhaps the police would not be so overwhelmed if there were more youth programs put into place to keep them off the streets, point them in the right direction and keep them from being involved in crime. 

Well--on the one hand there have always been various youth programs through churches, boys and girls clubs, YMCA, etc. More of these things sure wouldn't hurt for the future.

We have a problem now with evil hardened criminals on the streets that could care less about anyone or anything and we have tens of thousands more coming across the boarder---gang members and others that will gravitate to these areas that they see as opportunity.

We need more good cops now, not less. More importantly, we need more and broader authority given to cops.

Examples and deterrents are required and they have to be seriously stiff to give these crazies pause.

These things are obvious, if an agenda other than law enforcement isn't brought to bear.

This social experimentation happened in the late 60's and early 70's.  Youth centers popped up everywhere.  Those that I experienced were just another place for the youth to gather and plan where to party.  Violence was not a real issue back then, just your regular fist fight now and then.  Nothing like today.  I see the youth of today bolder in their criminality, toting weapons of all sorts. 

I wonder if those who are planning these programs realize that behind the street violence are gangs that offer their members money, street credit, drugs and popularity.  When a young gang member can make more money in one night than their parents can in a weeks paycheck, I am curious as to what will these programs offer them to offset all this?

Nothing short of a heart change will change that dynamic---other than draconian actions by authority.

THe pain has to exceed the pleasure. Half smart folks know these things. Agendas prevent it.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
