Is America Becoming a Police State?
Is America Becoming a Police State?
In the wake of questionable law enforcement actions, many Americans feel that our nation is becoming a police state. Intercessor, do you agree?
From The Epoch Times. More than 70 percent of American voters worry that the United States is becoming a police state marked by government tyranny with āmass surveillance, censorship, ideological indoctrination, and targeting of political opponents,ā a national poll suggests.
Get involved in state level prayer with IFA.
A Rasmussen Reports national telephone and onlineĀ surveyĀ found that 72 percent of likely voters are āconcernedā that America is becoming a police state, including 46 percent who are āvery concerned.ā
Nearly 1,000 likely voters were surveyed by Rasmussen and Pulse Opinion Research on Sept. 14 and Sept. 17āSept. 18. The poll had a survey sampling error of +/- 3 percent with a 95 percent confidence level.
āMore Republicans (62 percent) than Democrats (34 percent) or unaffiliated voters (43 percent) are very concerned that America is becoming a police state,ā Rasmussen Reports wrote in a news release.
āSimilarly, more Republicans (45 percent) than Democrats (17 percent) or unaffiliated voters (22 percent) strongly agree that the FBI is a danger to the freedom and security of law-abiding Americans.ā ā¦
āOver the past few years, Americans have witnessed the FBI target pro-life activists and parents speaking at school board meetings while simultaneously ignoring violent riots throughout 2020, encouraging online censorship, and obstructing Congressā oversight efforts,ā Stephen Friend, an FBI whistleblower and former special agent, told The Epoch Times.
Half of voters in the Rasmussen poll said they agree with the statement: āThe FBI is a danger to the freedom and security of law-abiding Americans,ā including 28 percent who āstrongly agree.ā ā¦
Domestic Terror
The ādomestic terrorismā label was being used along with other tactics at the FBI to make it look like Jan. 6 suspects posed the most serious threat to the country. ā¦
āThat gives the impression that domestic terrorism is a nationwide threat when, really, the numbers the FBI is touting stem from one incident on one day.
āThatās a problem for the country,ā he said. āThe FBI is supposed to stand for law and order, but instead, weāre raising the temperature.ā
The weaponization of the FBI led Mr. Friend toĀ suggest drastic changesĀ to rein in the bureau.
āShort of abolishing the FBI, one potential solution is for Congress to defund the 1811 criminal investigator positionāthe special agent,ā Mr. Friend said.
āThis forces the FBI to partner with local law enforcement agencies. ā¦
āThis creates a bulwark in which a county sheriff can direct FBI resources to combat legitimate criminal activity in his area rather than serve as a bystander while FBI headquarters continually utilizes its quota system for the number and types of cases special agents must affect,ā Mr. Friend said. ā¦

Lord I ask that you give Devine power to those who are followers of you with our Government to stand strong. Lord even if they feel that they are alone that you would stand tall and give them strength to say no to the persecution of those in our community that are standing strong amongst the turmoil in our world.
As encroachment on our liberties has made standing fast difficult. Lord, strengthen our resolve and joy like Apostle Paul through his many trials. May you Lord and Your Word made Flesh be our eternal strength.
