I had Overstock-founder Patrick Byrne on my show recently and he used a term of art that stuck with me – ‘a thousand years of darkness.’
He was of course referring to the fall of Rome, which unleashed the Dark Ages, a thousand years of barbarity and medieval horror.
The United States, and the world’s humanity for that matter, are now facing this existential threat.
That is, if we do not act now, if we do nothing — the republic will die, and the ‘world’s policeman’, the ‘shining city on the hill’, the place where those ‘huddled masses yearning to breathe free’ go to find liberty, will be gone. Where are you then going to find freedom? Communist China? The EU? Russia?
There is no where to go.

Yep, saw that.

Tell Americans that you are for sharing, and they’ll think “That’s nice”.
Tell Americans that you are for putting plastic bags over their heads and they are not going to vote for you.
We don’t need no stinking thousand years of darkness.
Just a few year, and by then, half of the country would come to the realization that, it’s time to split and create the conservative states of America. Leave the other half to spend their thousand years of darkness, alone.
If the US splits, how long do you think it will be before we have a little China for a neighbor?
No ocean between us...all they have to do is walk across the border like the invaders from Mexico.
Alas, Babylon—and they didn’t have to fire a shot, let alone launch a nuclear war.
Act now ......by doing what exactly?
At the exponential rate of technological “progress” we will cease to exist in a matter of decades.
The Soviet Union faked its collapse, China and Russia have always been allies since the 1949 Maoist revolution.
Blue states and cities that won’t defend their residents against anarchy, riots, vandalism, violence and mob rule won’t be any bastion between us and any invader. Those states are useless from a defensive standpoint. The will to defend territory and way of life is only to be found in conservative states that cherish liberty and have a desire to remain free.
Sorry, but you miss the point.
The logistics of fighting a war are much more difficult if the target country is 7,000 miles away.
An enemy with established bases, ocean ports, airfields with 12,000 ft. runways and war equipment depots with nothing more than a barbed wire wire fence to mark the border would be a nightmare. One from which we probably would not awake.
Rules, regulations, laws.
We are going to solve the problem by passing laws.
Great. So lets solve the problem. Pass a law against rioting, stealing elections through fraud, taking graft money from foreign nations....
That will get the job done.
Those of us still stuck in those Liberal states and unable to leave due to financial difficulies are just fvcked, then? We didn’t vote for this crap. The entire state of Illinois is overridden by four ornso liberal counties due to their population, Cook being the largest.
Do we have a path to refugee status at least?
I’be been saving to leave Illinois for years, almost a decade; this state is so expensive that it’s impossible to save anything if you don’t make near six figures.
Yes, Russia and China closer than they’ve ever been, both militarily and economically. The basic alliance the West is up against is Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela, and North Korea. Russia and China have been staging massive joint war games since 2005, in obvious preparation for war with us and our allies.
Hell yea, and shoot the marauding gangs and arsonists instead of placate them.
No system in this modern day lasts 1000 years. People get tired of collectivism over time and start to evolve.
Another confederate dreamer.
As if even HALF of those states won by 20 percent.
You will be stuck in the war in your own state for years since winning by 1 to 6 points doesn’t exactly mean there was a mandate to secede.
Either old or unrealistic or in denial...people who talk about secession are.
Maoist?
Try Khmer Rouge.
The cops now have been effectively conditioned to treat antifa as just young people making mistakes and Trump protestors as Nazis to murder.
