There Will Be No Civil War Today
National Review ^ | March 11, 2018 | Kevin D. Williamson

Posted on 03/11/2018 12:33:40 PM PDT by Lurking Libertarian

I am going to make a prediction, which is something that I do not often do. Look out your window. If necessary, go out on the porch and look up and down the street. Crane the old neck. I’ll bet — I’d bet almost anything — that you do not see tanks in the street, riots, fires burning, or federal troops and law-enforcement agents running around. I’ll bet you don’t see anything like that on television, either.

“Do you know about Q Anon?”

Q is the narrator of “The Storm,” the right-wing Internet conspiracy theory du jour. Q claims to be a high-level government operative acting on orders directly from the president, who apparently wants members of certain bonkers online communities to have a little inside information about a covert domestic intelligence and military operation currently under way. All that investigation of President Trump and his campaign’s footsie-playing with the Russians is, the story goes, a cover for the real investigation, which is into — here Sean Hannity will come to rapt attention — Hillary Rodham Clinton’s ties to the Russians. It is, as Paris Martineau put it in New York, a presidential “counter-coup against the deep state.” The story further insists that the Clintons (and the Saudi cabal with which they are allied) are aware of this, and are planning to stage violent riots from coast to coast in order to prevent their shadow government from being taken apart.

That’s supposed to kick off today, March 11, with the arrest of John Podesta.

As I write this, John Podesta is a free man. I predict that this condition will endure until at least Sunday.

Another Q prediction that didn't happen.

I’m more than content to wait and see how things play out. It’s not like the opinions of posters on an anonymous internet forum are going to matter one way or the other.

But one thing I assuredly will not be doing is taking anything printed by the execrable “voice of conservatism” National Review with any less than a large container of salt. (The occasional on-target work of Andrew McCarthy being the only possible exception).

Anything that National Review mocks is worthy of attention.

You can call it a Cold Civil War or a Quiet Insurrection, but the Deep State is fighting against us, right now....

Is there some link in that article that I missed? Who is the businessman with the Rolex? It seems like that whole paragraph was accidentally dropped in from a different article.

Perhaps National Review interpreted Q wrong. National Review is starting to rival CNN for being moronic.

I usually chuckle at their TDS.

One side has millions of guns and bullets. The other side can’t figure out where to urinate.

I would guess that 98% of conservatives have either never heard of “Q”, know very little about it, think it is just another voice among many, or - if they are aware of it - think that its claims must be backed by evidence. “Q” is not driving the conservative movement.

NRO and Q have the same credibility quotient.

Interestingly since NR went to a new webpage setup you cant comment on their articles anymore unless you are. Paid subscriber. THAT pretty much guarntees the negative comments will be minimal. Low Life Lowry again.

Nope. It's abundantly clear that the DoJ has standing orders to arrest or indict only Republicans.

Mueller's dirty cop frame machine lumbers on, not one Rat even so much as ticketed for Jaywalking.

Keep believing the Trump presidency is a hoax, tool. Until it isn’t.
