The breakup of the U.S. (WorldnetDaily's Joseph Farah takes Russian prediction seriously)
WorldnetDaily ^ | Dec 30,2008 | Joseph Farah

Posted on 12/30/2008 4:52:31 PM PST by SeekAndFind

In 1990, few were predicting the breakup of the Soviet Union.

But it came – only a year later.

With 2009 set to begin in a few days, there is someone predicting the breakup of the United States – a year from now.

His name is Igor Panarin, a former KGB analyst and dean of the Russian Foreign Ministry's school for foreign diplomats – in other words, a serious fellow.

For him, it's nothing new. He's been making the same prediction for last 10 years. But, until recently, no one took him seriously. And then came the economic calamity that has rocked Americans and the rest of the world, too. Now, Panarin's predictions of an end of the United States, due to economic and moral collapse, is being taken seriously by many.

Panarin blames out-of-control mass immigration, economic decline and moral degradation for what he believes could be a civil war as early as next fall and a total collapse of the dollar. By June or July of 2010, he sees the U.S. breaking into six pieces.

Now, I'm not buying into Panarin's entire prediction. But I do think there's something to it.

I've been talking about this possibility more and more in recent years. I don't see how this house of cards we're building can possibly withstand the next significant windstorm. The political ties no longer bind. Only inertia and the threat of force hold us together.

The economic crisis is clearly visible to all – but all the wrong buttons are being pushed. In fact, the same people who got us into this mess are digging a deeper hole for all of us to climb out of.

The other two crises he points to have scarcely even been recognized by many people – out-of-control immigration and moral rot.

I’m thinking you’re nuts or maybe just kidding...jail is not a nice place you know.

Well, when we've established Texas as it's own country, you can continue trying to "reach across the aisle" with all the libbies in their own country. Good luck with that. I've stopped playing nice.

OK Priscilla run away.

And as far as I'm concerned, I am making a literacy test mandatory for admission. You can sleep outside, simpleton.

its the creeping socialism thats plagued the US since the onset of the "New Deal" thats brought us to this sorry state of affairs.

It has taken us to a place where the weight of the 'takers' on the shoulders of the 'producers' has reached critical mass. The economic tailspin will effectively remove more and more producers from the 'foundation'- take enough out and at some point, collapse is inevitable.

Have governments ever reduced spending to reflect dwindling revenues? Not when they can deficit spend ('cept when they cut non-essentials like the military). Top heavy is an understatement.

So what are you going to do with the liberals in Texas? Concentration camps, gassing?

According to the Tax Foundation, SC gets back more than $1.30 for every dollar sent to Washington.

Sorry to say, your state is on life support.

But the point of his op-ed was that we are facing a break up of the union and its either going to be civil or violent.When people begin to blame the immigrants,as the cause of the impending break up, thats where they lose me.

If the fighting starts you mean to tell me you REALLY believe that illegals are going to stay and join the liberal forces?PLEASE,they`ll run for home faster then you can schedule greyhounds!They have no dog in this fight,why die here?No,the people you`d be facing are native born and bred,straight out of the liberal welfare mother`s mills (imagine a human puppy mill) of the “great society”.Welfare deadbeats born and bred by the liberals for just such a purpose,yea,thats very un-PC but just as true!And if recent polls are to be believed,their ranks are not just filled with “minorities”,there are plenty of welfare whites in that army.

So before you resort to rounding up the "usual suspects" remember that the times have been a changin,there`s a new dynamic afoot in America and its one wrought by liberals,bought and paid for by the hard earned tax dollars of many generations.

Nothing so crude, they’ll be deported. I’m sure they’d be happier “out there” anyway instead of with us gun-toting, God-fearing conservatives.

It goes beyond that,they`ve been doing this for a reason.I firmly believe they`ve been conspiring for decades to breed an army of social and intellectual midgets who`ll be ready made lemmings ready to serve their socialist masters.If theres a civil war this is what we`ll be facing,hell,I believe its whats been hinted at by Barky when he talked about his “people`s force”,as well funded as the military.Its the culmination of all the liberal sowing of the seeds of apathy and sloth,not much of a raw material to start with but socialists love the human wave tactic,history proves that.

So will you "God fearing conservatives" be forcing them from their homes at the point of a gun? If you care so much about the constitution I'm guessing you'll be needing to do some rewriting to evict the citizens who rightfully live there.

If there is ever a division of Red and Blue, build real walls to keep the Blues out. Any Blues or thier sympathizers in Red territory should be put on the other side upon discovery.

I think there's something to it. We have nothing in common with liberals. If we wanted to found a conservative country - would we sign up for it?

I would in a heartbeat.

These are areas that go screwed big time by China. SC, for instance, lost its textile and furniture manufacturing industries to China. They now have the third highest unemployment rate in the nation — approaching 10%.

The fault isn’t with the people of SC, but with U.S. trade policies.

You can’t take any part of the United states and claim it as your own...not even Texas. By the way, I saw that with all the immigration in Texas within 10 years, you will be a blue state...just saying.

I work for GM. I know about free trade policies. I agree with you. I am irritated with the Southern Senators (Corker ET AL) for handing out millions to foreign auto transplants and pretending they have principle or something when opposing the auto loan (bought and paid for by Toyota and others), but I have a Southern wife and have always loved the South-used to live in GA.

Well, I'd suggest California - for obvious reasons - but you fair weather conservatives have already up n' runnoft.

It's been my experience that conservatives on Free Republic would rather flee at the first sign of trouble, to some frozen burg or sweltering humid environment than to stay with the best and fight it out. Me? I'll tough it out on the front lines in Cal.

The others can just flee. Don't need them whinny losers anyway.

Actually... The way Obama is talking and appointing folks, he could wind up governing more conservatively than McCain would have. The libs are going nuts over this. McCain is a commie-lib through and through. He hates conservatives more than Obama does. Obama is a political genius, much like Clinton. He wants to leave a good legacy, nay, as perfect a legacy as possible. The first black President has to be perfect, or there won't be another black person elected to anything for a very very long time. Now, Obama knows deep down that socialism will not work. It will not grow the economy, and it will not help the country pull out of the current recession. Just watch. He is gonna keep the tax cuts, perhaps even help get more cuts passed. He won't destroy the military like Clinton did. He won't do anything unpopular with mainstream America. Hell, I am sorry I voted for McCain at this point. I guess I didn't think this through.

The best thing about the Obama Presidency: McCain isn't the President! Hmmm... Gonna make this my new tagline.
