Established in 2001, after the 9/11 attack on America and now in its 25th year, this thread is designed to identify threats to America, both internal and external, and evaluate the probability of those threats occurring and the extent of potential damage. Discussions may stray into ‘tinfoil’ territory, but the goal is to peel back and confirm information so we can make informed decisions and actions. Incredible as it seems, “tinfoil” conspiracy theories have fast become realities so they can no longer be ignored outright, but must be evaluated and compared to current events.

Welcome to Threat Matrix 2026

2025 has been “historic”: Trump takes charge and the left is thrown into chaos The left comes out of the closet and begins to organize an “color” revolution. Economy begins to stabilize War between Israel and Iran Trump forces various conflicts into ceasefires Tariffs begin to straighten out US trade deficits and businesses flock to the US to avoid. Political assassination of Charlie Kirk and leftist calls for more of the same.

Largely, first 3-4 months of Trump's 2nd term, the left, having suffered a serious loss couldn’t seem to get its message straight.

But the left never backed down. Instead they just waited and hoped for things to change. Specifically, they were counting on a weakening economy to help bail them out.

That downturn hasn't actually arrived yet. The stock market has been strong, growth numbers are up, inflation is down, but enough people are dissatisfied with the economy overall (mostly because of the 9% inflation during Biden's term) that Democrats and socialists have all been able to latch onto the issue to make the case for change. And this has worked to some degree. They don't have any solutions to offer, not really. But they can continue to make the case that Trump isn't focused enough on affordability to possibly retake the House next year. The party in power almost always does poorly in the midterms. They are riding that wave.

And the republicans have helped them due to their inaction in congress and failing to back the president up with key political appointments and laws. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Another thing keeping the left in the game have been rogue district court judges continually ruling against Trump (and mostly overruled by higher, but delaying policy by months)

I expect 2026 to be very challenging as we are facing: - Growing development of the ‘COLOR REVOLUTION” - Midterm leftist violence associated with the color revolution. - Shaky but stable economy - Continued tension in the Middle East - Continued war in Ukraine - Growing civil unrest from deportations of illegals and election related. - Growing islamic actions, political and violent. - Another govt shutdown over 0bamacare

Probably my biggest concern is the growing threat of leftist violence that could cumulate in an assassination attempt on Trump. He has a big target on his back and there are concerns that there are elements of the deep state buried into his SS detachment and the service in general. Such an event would blow things out of the water as the S hits the fan.

Continued rhetoric calling for violence against the right and especially Trump supporters may well result in assassinations like that of Kirk last year. Kirk’s assassination was the most successful leftist attack, but not the only one - noting the dozen or so Antifa elements in Texas that tried to ambush law enforcement last spring/summer. . Leftist and anarchist groups spent 2025 organizing the foundations for a color revolution. Technically, these actions comprise what is known as Phase 1 action. This was evidenced by the numerous “no king” and affiliated rallies/protests over the year. In the summer they chose a “color” - Yellow - to symbolically represent their revolution.

Indivisible - by far the lead activist origination of the revolution - has called for increasing direct action and civil disobedience in 2026. This would be a standard Phase 2 development of a color revolution. Unspoken, they may attempt to increase violent actions against the govt. All designed to put the administration in a bad light. A further catalyst to this action is the 2026 midterm elections where the left will be putting out a full court press to retake at least one if not both houses of congress.

On drawback that hit Indivisible in the face in these “No Kings” rallies last summer was the demographic of the turnout. The majority of the turnout was old boomers and women. Gone were Gen Z and other younger groups. Numbers at rallies were artificially increased due to paying protestors. These are hardly the storm troopers Indivisible and the left are looking to hold the protest lines at desired direct action events this summer. This leaves the left with trying to muster up a false flag event to fire up Antifa supporters and college students on summer break. Not a condition conducive to growing the Color Revolution.

2026 general political violence remains high on the radar. Trump via NG callouts for facility protection of ICE operations (now under a cloud due to a USSC ruling) is seen by many as preparations for larger violence - possibly this election cycle. However, there has to be a significant triggering event as even the “indivisible” protests have been poorly supported and lacking younger hot heads needed for rioting.

Democrats have been very vocal in support of political violence and have been very open about their desires for a nationwide crackdown on Trump supporters. Such an action would drive a potential low level civil war scenario. 2028 is not a given for JD Vance or any republican nominee.

IN 2026 I see islamic elements trying to leverage their localized power and force states to adopt more islamic law fundamentals. Emboldened by the noodle spined democrats and some republicans who are afraid to either call them out for the criminal and terrorists they are - or in cases like Minnesota, they have formed a democrat voting bloc to impose their agenda - I fully expect more radical politics and violence. Much of which is directed towards Jews/Israel as well as conservatives. Trump’s pushback in 2025 bunted campus radicalism to a degree, but leftists mayors and the like are still giving them a free pass for their violent actions.

Islamic elements will likely support some of the Color Revolutions direct actions at places where they see it benefitting their goals of expanding islamic controls on us infidels. The current, massive fraud uncovered in Minnesota and elsewhere is being tackled quickly by the administration and if things drag out too long, it could work to the joint left/islamic efforts.

With the US presence in the world, islamic terror will be incorporated in to the US following successful terror campaigns in Europe.

Another key sector is the continued radical judicial activism by dozens of district court judges. They have force their wrong opinions on the administration on an number of fronts, all in an effort to delay and deny administrations actions, forcing appeals which so far have mostly fell in support of the administration. Delay, delay, delay.

The Somali fraud mongazo in Minnesota is one such area where the fight will be the worst with activist judges. From last year, a judge overruled a unanimous jury decision against a somali fraud case of $7 million - slam dunk. Expect that immigration actions towards involved somalians in the massive fraud uncovered in Minnesota and elsewhere will be met by activist judges once again over stepping their bounds.

One last thing for 2026 will be the proliferation of AI generated internet postings across social media. Fake book is already smeared by them and it will only get worse. Built into this will be the smooth sounding misinformation they will spread. We’ll have to be extra vigilant as to what to believe on the inter webs as fake documents, AI videos/voices and the like flood the net.

It has been my pleasure to continue this thread over the past few years. This thread hopefully is continuing the goals of when it started. For those who care, my posts reflect my scanning of the interwebs to provide me with early warning concerning factors that can endanger my life and family. Yes, I’m what many would call a “prepper”, and proudly accept that characterization. How can something happening half way around the world affect me personally? Wuhan virus, my friend is but one recent example. I noted it in TM Dec 2019 and was prepared when chaos hit in 2020.

Other events have secondary and tertiary affects that reach us via shortages and inflation – fossil fuel prices are the most common, as well as economic impacts. I simply share news items and often my opinions that shape my actions and preparations.

My posts are broken down into specific topics and regions. I highlight and evaluative open source reports in those areas in regard to how it will affect the US. Sometimes it feels like trying to drink from a fire hose – even more so following 2025.

So buckle up for the ride. This is an open thread that I want to continue as a clearing house of tidbits of intelligence contributed by the FR community so that we are all aware of what’s happening and what the impacts of those events will be. Knowledge is power
