There was a thread earlier entitled "Too Many Americans Want a Civil War." Referring to the Kirk assassination, the author warned "how close the country had come to a 'potential' civil war."
I've got news for him, and everyone else. Technically speaking, we're not "potentially" in Civil War II, it's already begun.
Anyone involved with or familiar with various factions of the intel community, which geek-out on societal analysis, will tell you it's here. The 3 phases of civil war are, technically, classified as follows:
1. Routine Peaceful Competition
Remember, not too long ago, when we could argue vociferously, especially around election time, regarding topics of the day then go back to normal relations? Nobody got fired or cancelled, we didn't shun friends and family. Your race, political persuasion, or who you voted for wasn't an issue. Those days are gone, and won't be back for the foreseeable future.
Low Intensity Conflict, or Grey War (YOU ARE HERE.)
Hardened factions begin paring off, differences become irreconcilable. Political, informational and economic warfare ramps up. Civil unrest breaks out often, and large, even dangerous, demonstrations become commonplace. Violence, assassinations and calls for such intensify.
3. Conventional Warfare
This is when the killing begins and we start seeing bodies. We're not there yet, but possible or likely will be if things keep going sideways. This phase - all out civil war - Can possibly be avoided, but not always providentially. Rome during the fall of the republic or pre WW II Germany come to mind.
Regarding bankruptcy/insolvency, we're already there as well. Merriam Webster defines "insolvent" as follows:
Insolvent (YOU ARE HERE.)
1 a: unable to pay debts as they fall due in the usual course of business. b: having liabilities in excess of a reasonable market value of assets held.
2: insufficient to pay all debts.
The national debt - which hardly anyone can even fathom - is far beyond our ability to repay. Even our children and grandchildren - the real victims of our intergenerational theft - could never repay it. The interest alone has, sadly, recently become our primary budget item - higher than our massive military budget. Let that sink in. It will only get exponentially worse.
Debt and currency devaluation is at the root of nearly all our problems and is the main catalyst for Civil War II. Along with the move away from investing in dollars, it's the main cause of inflation. It's pushing the broke and unemployed to radicalism, violence and street demonstrations. It's breaking healthcare, retirement and government services. Things like groceries, private services, goods, housing and autos are becoming unaffordable, especially for middle class, the poor and the elderly. It's becoming increasingly difficult to get a doctor, replacement parts, loans and many of the things Americans have always taken for granted.
Along with our civil war, America's bankruptcy is here, it just that neither has been officially declared yet. How either will look once the music stops nobody can know - but it will be very bad times for us all. The best course of action at this point is to prepare as much as possible.
One of the topics this is listed under is "gardening," a skill you'll likely need.

A Balkanization is inevitable, barring some extreme event, such as as an all out attack on the U.S.
Even 9/11 was only ably to draw Americans together for a short though before the nonsense started back up.
“Ultimately we won’t be able to pay interest. “
Yeah I have been concerned about that for decades. We have been in a low interest rate environment for a long period as the debt has increased in a massive way.
I remember the 70s and 80s. When that sort of high interest rate environment returns the interest on the debt will overwhelm the budget. I suspect they will just borrow more to finance the interest. Crazy.
“We are not able to pay the debt, we can service the debt by paying the interest but cannot pay the principle.”
Sure we can. We choose not to, but we have the ability.
You obviously do not know the nation’s financial position.
Don’t forget you have foreign actors all over social media doing all they can to increase the divide.
Except I am reading it.
So you stop being ignorant. Good grief, grow up.
are you too dumb to realize you can both be right to a certain point?
You realize the Federal Government is the only entity that can run 2 sets of books?
i suppose that depends on how you count it
Again the Good Faith of the US Taxpayer cannot ever repay this, the only option is going digital currency which is in place now as they can just clear the books and start fresh...They will make Gold and Silver illegal to own. FDR did it and might be Trump as he knows the story..or the next President.
Ezekiel 37:11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
The digital currency thing would trigger a strong use by many of a barter economy.
Well they have it ready to go and in use now...called Fedcoin...why do you think all these bitcoins are crashing...gotta get them out of the way...
No worries though. Watch the video I pinged you to. It's much more informative and engaging than the .pdf I linked.
Thanks will check it out.
