I agree completely with your assessment. You're my goto source for sane and solid analysis.

Like Lincoln, I put my energy toward keeping the union together rather than speculating on its demise. Disappointed in your view since you are normally much more rational. Yes, a peoples' war of sorts must be fought but the way was shown by M.L. King, not Stockley Carmichael. Identify politics fascism is nothing but standard counterinsurgency and is much older than the past two decades. Please put that genius of yours to work on breaking the spell, understanding and exploiting the enemy's numerous weaknesses and winning the present war we are already in. What you present is static and pessimistic; you can't win wars that way.

This is a sobering assessment. I’ve never seen the idea laid out like this before. I’ve always thought a separation would never be possible but now...

The government has bioweapons and 'vaccines' and the whole range of institutions under their control to force compliance with putative 'public health' edicts. Soon they will have total control of our money through digital currency and a ban on cash transactions, leaving only barter as an alternative. And there are many other means of coercion available to the banksters. The 'culture war' is largely a distraction from the real class war IMO.

Well what will happen is what Gab is doing, creating a parallel society that is deeply conservative, has practical skills, and large families with which to reclaim the nation when the Liberal Cities crash.

And the crash is starting. Anheuser-Busch is on the way out as is every company that made Dylan Mulvaney their face. Fox News is sinking with Tucker out and ironically he put no stock in the Dominion Story and instead pointed out good old ballot stuffing as the reason and which was far more provable. Hell if Fox took it to court, they would have won on appeal.

Alex Jones is hunkering down till he can finally appeal to the Appeals Courts and get the lawsuits against him thrown out on first amendment grounds and then recoup all his losses by counter-suing.

For Conservatives, hunker down, build your networks, raise your kids, homeschool your kids, and grow a garden.

Civil war is one thing. A coup is something else.

I would argue that the coup is underway now. Gonzalo Lira has

a term for it: "auto-golpe". A coupe by those already in power

to take more power.

Add to it CBDCs to control what a typical person does and AI

to filter what that typical person can see and hear. This

is not 2030; this is underway NOW.

Arms against the government is one thing, but let's get clear

on what "government is". It is the banks running the CBDCs and

it is the media running the AI filters. All the businesses

that permit/deny activities based on the above.

The Capitol "riot" was not an insurgency. It was an attempt to

use civil action/disobedience/occupation. It followed the rules.

Lkewise TEXIT; it follows the rules.

When citizens stop following the rules, then it will get interesting.

And finally, note how "this war is coming home". The rules based

order and all that is wrong with it gets imposed on the home empire

and the citizens of the empire cannot stand it.

I'm in rural Maine. Red here; the cities are mostly blue. My

own persoan thoughts mostly go to self defense. There are

valuable pieces of the community that the empire wants to destroy.

How to protect them? Does everyone in the neighborhood have to

have air horns to notify each other of an attack?

Now we are into training and Carolyne Chute's Second Maine Militia.

She defined it as "drawing a line against the corporate takeover".

That fits well with the auto-golpe.

A civil war is one thing, but the auto-golpe is already underway.

Think of color revolutions. The deep state is doing that here.

Like I wrote above, this war is coming home. They always do.

Great article!

I only wish you said something about Texas moving towards creating it's own gold-backed currency.

And should not states considering secession start doing something about curtailing illegal immigration and about forming some kind of military power inside their borders?

I am also not sure if I agree that the cultural war is a veneer for an economic-financial global war. I am more leaning towards believing it is the other way around...

I think you totally miss the elephant in the room; What will "de-dollarization" do to the Federal government, not only internationally, but nationally?

When the only one that will buy treasuries is the Fed, the dollar is toilet paper. The industrial base of the country has been hollowed out and now finance is something like 40% of the economy. It blows up and you won't even have a few tulip bulbs to show for it.

In which case, states and regions will have to develop local currencies. It won't be so much a war, as the big tree falling over and the little ones getting the sunlight.

I think what we really need to do, is better understand this reality. Then we would understand why crap like this happens.

As executive and regulatory function, government is like the nervous system, while money and banking are like blood and the circulation system. Theoretically distributing value around the community, but with public government and private banking, the banks rule and the only real job the flunkies and moral prostitutes allowed in office have, is running up the debt the banks need to function. The secret sauce of capitalism is public debt backing private wealth.

The reality is that money is a medium, like roads, water, air, etc. It's the network connecting all the nodes. If it's private, we are all tenant farmers to the banks. The way it is today, is like the heart telling the hands and feet to go suck dirt, because it's keeping all the blood for itself.

I could go on, but it seems most people are blind to anything beyond the various tribal war cries.

Until we actually start thinking, we are someone else's herd animals.

USA is in a rapidly accelerating total collapse process; social, economic, political and military. It is tracking to collapse by end of 2025, if not sooner. Collapse always happens slowly, slowly, then all at once. The economic and moral corruption in the West is unbridled and its far too late to stop what is coming. There is a population of about 3% of the U.S. (15-20 MM people) that will be able to save and rebuild the nation in a humane, just manner. Consider myself part of that group. A large part of the population is in extreme cognitive dissonance and a mental stupor from years of MSM/Gov/Education system programming. Lost souls. We are fighting the darkest form of evil, and we must wear the Armor of God to prevail.

I highly recommend you check out the book "Hinterland" by Phil Neel, I think you would appreciate it.

I do think some sort of civil conflict is likely by 2030, but I think you put far too much weight on the culture war, "red vs. blue" stuff, at least in this essay. Secession will be a result of bourgeois infighting and would quickly devolve into something resembling China's Warlord Era prior to the CPC's victory in 1949 imo. Overall an interesting essay though.

I'll stick with Martin Armstrong's Ai prediction that the breakup begins after the 2032 election...By the way, nothing happened from a legal perspective in the Dominion/Fox case...Fox got stuck with a crooked judge and settled, but there is no precedent...
