First of all, wars don’t really make lines as clear as people like to pretend. Politics is politics, with or without a strong outside threat.

More importantly, if you don’t know who your enemies are (in general, I mean) without them coming out and telling you to your face that they are your enemies, then you don’t deserve to have enemies.

I’m afraid so. We’re in the early stages NOW. REAL patriots protesting our newly formed MARXIST government under Obama, Mexicans here ILLEGALLY fighting REAL patriots for OUR land that they’ve invaded, and the list goes on.

The nonstop effort by Progressives to emasculate men, beginning in the schools with boys by propping up girls with “girl power”, and as men shackled and hog-tied as powerless in the workplace to so much as even raise their voice at another male let alone another female..

The boiling point is nearing, and is no different than the tensions which developed when the British controlled and taxed us to death..

On the horizon, like a sunrise, the breaking point draws closer and closer..

With all this crap going on all at once and the realization that the Progressive/Marxist movement has been working on America’s destruction for the last 100 years, you really have to wonder if 9/11 was what we were told it was.. I’m starting to think it was a homegrown plot..Payback to America by those seeking to destroy it from within, for Gore not having been elected.

What we’re witnessing just since Obama was elected causes a serious rethinking of what’s happened in our not so distant past.

Call me crazy and irrational.. But when the unthinkable has reached critical mass as we are witnessing in such short order, it’s enough to drive you crazy and irrational.

“Don’t tread on me?”.. How flattened must one get?

indeed. it does disclaim itself as a flight of fancy, however.

a short story based in reality is how I'd label it.

Too bad more of us won’t be alive 10 years from now so we can look back and say this writer was correct. You can mock him if you want, but have you been following the news? There’s no other outcome for today’s political corruption and social tension OTHER than Civil War. Do you deny it happened once before in this country too?

The USA is already in a ‘cold’ Civil War.

God help us all if it turns hot.

I recommend reading JR Nyquist’s columns over at financial sense. He does a good job at detailing the threat of Russia and China and their proxies to the US.:

Look up Albert Pike and World War Three.

It’s part of the plan.

Wait and see.

Did Communism Fake Its Own Death in 1991?
American Thinker ^ | January 16, 2010 | Jason McNew

In a bizarre 1984 book [New Lies for Old], ex-KGB Major Anatoliy Golitsyn predicted the liberalization of the Soviet Bloc and claimed that it would be a strategic deception. ..."

"Golitsyn's argument was that beginning in about 1960, the Soviet Union embarked on a strategy of massive long-range strategic deception which would span several decades and result in the destruction of Western capitalism and the erection of a communist world government."

"Golitsyn published his second book, The Perestroika Deception, after the Soviet Union was dissolved in 1991. This book contained further analysis of the liberalization, in addition to previously classified memoranda submitted by Golitsyn to the CIA. The two books must be read together to get a complete picture of Golitsyn's thesis."

Russia's Leaders See China as Template for Ruling
New York Times ^ | October 17, 2009 | CLIFFORD J. LEVY

MOSCOW — Nearly two decades after the collapse of the Communist Party, Russia’s rulers have hit upon a model for future success: the Communist Party.

Or at least, the one that reigns next door.

Like an envious underachiever, Vladimir V. Putin’s party, United Russia, is increasingly examining how it can emulate the Chinese Communist Party, especially its skill in shepherding China through the financial crisis relatively unbowed.

United Russia’s leaders even convened a special meeting this month with senior Chinese Communist Party officials to hear firsthand how they wield power. ..."

“The accomplishments of China’s Communist Party in developing its government deserve the highest marks,” Aleksandr D. Zhukov, a deputy prime minister and senior Putin aide, declared at the meeting with Chinese officials on Oct. 9

[2009] Russia, China plan new joint military exercises

By MARTIN SIEFF, UPI Senior News Analyst
Published: March 26, 2009

WASHINGTON, March 26 (UPI) -- The continuing tensions over Russia's refusal to sell its state-of-the-art land warfare advanced weapons systems to China hasn't interrupted the rhythm of major joint military exercises between the two major land powers on the Eurasian landmass. The latest in the regular, biennial series of exercises between the two nations has been confirmed for this summer.

The next in the now well-established series of exercises called Peace Mission 2009 will be carried out in northeastern China, the Russian Defense Ministry announced March 18, according to a report carried by the RIA Novosti news agency.

The first bilateral Peace Mission maneuvers -- described at the time as counter-terrorism exercises -- were held in Russia and the eastern Chinese province of Shandong in August 2005. As we reported at that time, they were a lot bigger than mere counter-terrorism exercises. Warships, squadrons of combat aircraft and more than 10,000 troops were involved carrying out landings against hypothetically hostile shores. The maneuvers also involved large-scale paratroops drops. The scale and nature of those exercises suggested a trial run for a possible Chinese invasion of Taiwan with Russian support. ..."

Russia, China flex muscles in joint war games
August 17, 2007

CHEBARKUL, Russia (Reuters) - Russia and China staged their biggest joint exercises on Friday but denied this show of military prowess could lead to the formation of a counterweight to NATO.

"Today's exercises are another step towards strengthening the relations between our countries, a step towards strengthening international peace and security, and first and foremost, the security of our peoples," Putin said.

Fighter jets swooped overhead, commandos jumped from helicopters on to rooftops and the boom of artillery shells shook the firing range in Russia's Ural mountains as two of the largest armies in the world were put through their paces.

The exercises take place against a backdrop of mounting rivalry between the West, and Russia and China for influence over Central Asia, a strategic region that has huge oil, gas and mineral resources.

Russia's growing assertiveness is also causing jitters in the West. Putin announced at the firing range that Russia was resuming Soviet-era sorties by its strategic bomber aircraft near NATO airspace.

War Games: Russia, China Grow Alliance
September 23, 2005

In foreign policy it’s critical to “know thine enemy.” So American policymakers should be aware that Russia and China are inching closer to identifying a common enemy — the United States.

The two would-be superpowers held unprecedented joint military exercises Aug. 18-25. Soothingly named “Peace Mission 2005,” the drills took place on the Shandong peninsula on the Yellow Sea, and included nearly 10,000 troops. Russian long-range bombers, the army, navy, air force, marine, airborne and logistics units from both countries were also involved.

Moscow and Beijing claim the maneuvers were aimed at combating terrorism, extremism and separatism (the last a veiled reference to Taiwan), but it’s clear they were an attempt to counter-balance American military might.

Joint war games are a logical outcome of the Sino-Russian Friendship and Cooperation Treaty signed in 2001, and reflect the shared worldview and growing economic ties between the two Eastern Hemisphere giants."
