On Wednesday, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) issued a
warning and urged governments to take action as global societal unrest is on the horizon. The IMF cautioned that "some countries remain vulnerable to new protests, particularly if policy actions to mitigate the COVID-19 crisis are perceived as insufficient or as unfairly favoring large corporates rather than people." In the ostensible land of the free, that is indeed the case as Americans were given laughable $1,200 deposits for 10 weeks (or longer) to stay home while banks and large corporations received trillions. While a new 'Occupy' movement has yet to materialize over the corporate bailouts, people tired of watching the economy turn to dust have already began to revolt.
As TFTP
reported this week, on Tuesday, more than 100 protesters took the the city streets of Raleigh, North Carolina to voice their desire to reopen the state's economy. They were quickly met with police action but the well-organized protesters stood their ground through multiple threats.
According to the
News and Observer, the protest was organized by ReopenNC, a private Facebook group organized last week that wants people to make their own stay-at-home decisions to avoid exposure to COVID-19 as the worldwide pandemic continues. The group surpassed 28,000 members on Tuesday afternoon.
Then, on Wednesday, Michigan followed suit. Thousands of Michigan citizens took to the streets — and literally blocked them — on Wednesday to protest the government's stay at home order and demand the state reopen the economy.
Comment: As this story progresses, it will be very interesting to see who in law enforcement, intelligence, the military and political circles - and elsewhere - comes out and says and does things - in opposition to the monumental Orwellian policies we're seeing implemented throughout society. We will know them by their fruits.
