A California professor and former CIA analyst said that white Christian men are poised to start a civil war in America
Barbara F. Walter, author of the 2022 book How Civil War Starts, made her inflammatory comments on PBS Tuesday evening while speaking with anchor Hari Sreenivasan.
Walter's remarks come just days before the midterm elections, which the left and right alike have been characterizing as a battle over democracy itself.
Sreenivasan asked Walter - who said she studied foreign nations on the brink of civil war for the CIA - how far off a war within the US could be.
Walter then went on to explain the past '100 years' showed that civil wars are typically started along divided religious and ethnic lines, when a previously dominant group begins to see their position wane.
She then went on to say that 'white men' who 'also tended to be Christian,' were beginning to see such a decline in their position in the US, and that they had 'almost exclusively' been the perpetrators of violent extremism in the country since 2008.
Walter is a professor of pacific international relations at the University of California San Diego. She describes herself as 'one of the world's leading experts on civil wars, political violence, and terrorism' on her website.
Her latest book claims that 'healthy democracies' tend to be safe from civil wars, but suggests the US is becoming increasingly unstable. Walter's website calls her book 'urgent and disturbing,' and says it is about identifying the signs of a civil war in the US in the hopes of avoiding one.

Mentally ill.
CIA….BS story from the master BSers.
Who is the bald dyke?
We didn't start this uncivil war, or the police state, but we will be finishing it.
when a previously dominant group begins to see their position wane.
Oh, like the democrats today!
Reminds me of another CIA analyst and college professor that claimed to be raped mega years prior by a SC nominee.
Anti-fascist ACTION.
If it does happen you silly bitch, you will be running for your life. Not even all the drone s we possess can stop a generalized non centric armed insurrection. It will be a really big version of the Irish War of Independence and the following civil war. A war of assassination, ambush, reprisal and straight up murder and lots of arson. University types are going to be high up on the list for the first and university buildings for the last. And it doesn’t take really large armies to turn a country upside down although trying to suppress such an uprising does require huge security forces.
When I read something like this I am reminded of a statement by my dad: Could not find their ass with both ends.
Another college professor proving it takes very little common sense to be one these days.
“Start” a civil war?
No, but able to prosecute one if the liberals want to push it.
When the shooting starts, he'll never know, because POSs like him will be the FIRST.
Interesting that a religion founded on ‘turn the other cheek’ and charity is now being characterized as a ‘domestic threat’. Sounds like this woman does not like Christians. Why is that?
*California professor*
Nothing more needs to be said.
Famous line from abusive, violent clods: “I wouldn’t have had to hurt you if you hadn’t made me mad”. Or, “If you hadn’t made me mad/left things where I could find them, I wouldn’t have had to destroy/steal them”.
Either a Demo-rat in Congress or a whacked out Hollyweird person.
Barbara Wawa?
Too bad the “professor” didn’t site any data.
