Sorry for so many side trips from the original post.
You raise a lot of issues that are hard for us to learn more about - due to #secrecy -
Conspiracy Theories
Literary tropes about corruption, starting with small-town cops and trusted authorities (ministers, teachers, doctors, LE), all the way up to the FBI being bought, but it's bigger than the FBI, and we learn the world is really being run by the Rothschilds and Vanderbilts and whoever, and Project Lockstep and New World Order are in progress...
I'd leave the city for a homestead near the village, too, and just focus on feeding my family and staying alive ... and seeing what craziness will unfold in the days to come.

Billions of people living their own lives, while a tiny number of the elite control us...?
Awake from your slumber .... and take up arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, end them?

I need to go out, barefoot, wands in hand, and greet the morning sun,
and watch the bees buzzing in the native blossoms, busily packing their saddle bags with pollen.
And just be
Not thinking
just be...

Eh. If it ever works, I'll blog about it.
