I believe that more people are awake and aware of everything; and YES, when push comes to shove...everyday people will do what it takes to defend themselves and families/friends etc. Not only do I believe it, I feel it.
Some people have to have a JOLT to knock some sense into them. SHOULD anything (Martial Law, etc) be declared===I would NOT be surprised that those people will wake up and ADMIT (i.e. accept) what is going on/has been building up to! Then the PTB are doomed! Plan and all!
