The precipice is when everything people take for granted stops working,right down to the traffic lights, the subways, air traffic control, energy grids, public utilities including tap water in municipalities. people assume everything will always be there, the buses will run, the garbage will be picked up , the fire department will show up. Yep. In this country, and all modern societies that rely on their functioning on civil service. All of that will stop, either by sabotage or an attempt for control. Citizens that are awake will muster and organize, we will do it. I am one of the Americans who do not want to see tanks rolling down the streets. It is the time of the people, God is with the people, He will give us our purpose, and we will survive, and we will be the system. Local organizations, helping, not warring, getting citizens safe and fed, protecting our village, working that Gospel.
