Overall crime rates, especially homicides and violent crimes, have increased substantially across the nation, especially in large cities. What is causing this?

This is almost entirely due to mind control manipulation. People are worked on relentlessly to corrupt their thinking, instill false beliefs, and to ramp up passions. Those who have less self-control and especially, those out of divine alignment vulnerable to persuasion from within to act against the law and common sense decency, can be tipped over the edge and made to commit all kinds of criminal activities. It is a combination of making an appeal to self-serving interests, in the case of looting, robbery, and carjackings, but there will always be an emotional ramping up as well, and a growing sense of entitlement that is an appeal to ego, and the combination of these factors creates a state of mind when almost anything can happen and clearly does. The statistics are there for all to see. But at the same time, the majority of the population is manipulated to be complacent. That is why there is not an uproar over this significant worsening of society, even though it involves direct threats to security and safety personally. Nothing about this is normal on the part of anyone, because the entirety of society is in their grip to one degree or another. Those who are more enlightened and able to see the bizarre nature of the current world are still in ignorance about the true causes. That is why an awakening is needed, as well as healing of the interlopers, for humanity to advance.
