Is America on the eve of a civil war?

Exclusive: Jerry Robinson says 2013 could be 'devastating'

Is America on the eve of another civil war? That question is being raised by economist, columnist, radio host and international conference speaker Jerry Robinson on his “Follow the Money Weekly.”

He also talks about eight money tips for achieving financial security in 2013.

But in a commentary on his podcast, he notes the situation facing Americans.

“While I expect to have a very profitable year with my investments and businesses, I can’t seem to shake this nagging suspicion that 2013 may also be one of the most devastating years in American history. Sadly, our nation has become a shadow of its former self. In times past, Americans were often admired by other nations for their strange blend of self-reliance and self-sacrifice. Today, however, Americans have become victims of their own success,” he explained.

“In the not-too-distant past, we were a people who made things. We were a nation of producers and relied heavily upon global consumers to purchase our well-made exports. Today, America’s specialty is consumption and our number one export is a worthless piece of paper known as the U.S. dollar.

“What happened to America? How did a nation that was so prosperous and so unique in its approach to government end up completely bankrupt and run by tyrants?”

He said there are several identifiable issues, including those “power-hungry warring political factions.”

“After all, politicians have always believed that the only thing wrong with the world is that they are not running it,” he said.

He also addresses the issue of financial security during 2013.

He shares the eight powerful money tips that he has used successfully in his own life.

They include:

Commit yourself to financial education Create a charitable giving plan Begin a systematic savings plan

It will be the starving vs. the fat, protected groups.
I see a rise in Racism coming, Violence and riots, Shootings and looting to come. Militia with M-16s at the door of Supermarkets. The Rich states will not be impoverished as a means to support the Unions and Failed social policies.

Part of me thinks that the media should be the first, but part of me thinks that it should be the agitators & central planners like Ayers.

If it weren’t for them, a rational, peaceful split would be much more likely. That little b*st*rd will plant the first bomb, mark my words.

Three simple steps

1) massive immigration legal and illegal
2) Free stuff
3) #1 votes for #2

I have always said you want to make revolution eminent, repeal the withholding law and make people actually write a check for their taxes. Watch heads explode. As long as the moron voter gets a “tax return” they will never understand it is their money and not the government who has been using their money as an interest vehicle instead of them.

I understand that some companies have the employees come down and sign the check to the feds each quarter. So they can see what they are sending the government in aggregate.

I will get it from my friend and post it here. His Dad is getting a Pacemaker this morning so it may be afternoon before I can talk to him.

You are exactly right.

What used to make my socks stink was when I had to pay estimated tax on what I thought I would earn.

I did not owe the tax until the next April the 15th, and yet if I did not pay in advance I was hit with a penalty.

Thanks for replying. Hope your friend’s Dad’s surgery goes well!

Just checked Yahoo and found several articles that appear to be the same: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Kitty+Werthmann+survived+Hitler.&ei=UTF-8&fr=moz35

Also I didn’t realize that you had posted the entire article.

Two points:

1 - Don’t make it easy for the Obama-Fascists.

2 - Don’t doubt that a civil war could happen

Keep your powder dry, sit back and wait for the rabid liberal Obamabots to fire the first shots. Don’t give them the excuse they need to justify the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the non-political-correct.

Obama likes to be compared to Abe Lincoln.
The comparison may turn out to be more accurate than many now think. Lincoln set the armies of the federal government against the people of the south, ending up with more than 1 million Americans dead or wounded. Obama already literally hates about half of the citizenry. He would happily wipe out the Bitter Clingers without letting it interfere with his next tee-time.

I have often thought of how different the secession of the south and the circumstances leading to the US Civil War might have developed if the South had just taken a stand, but not fired on Fort Sumter.

The federal government had a very limited military before Fort Sumter and had no capability to militarily impose its will on the entire south.

The northern outrage over Fort Sumter (fueled by the media, of course) gave Lincoln the public support he needed to build up the military and to take military action against the secessionist states.

The government and the media are already demonizing conservatives, white males and older people. The feds will be more than happy to have those they see as their enimies open the hostilities.

For those who doubt the government would take large scale action against US citizens just remember that 600,000 Americans killed each other during the last civil war.
At that time the US President elected to use the federal government and the federal military to impose its will on citizens who disagreed with it.

Don’t we already have the federal government imposing its will on us through the TSA? The BATF? Obama’s unconstitutional decrees?

Does anyone doubt that Obama would take large scale action as Lincoln did if he could get away with it?

I am not sharing my adult beverages with anybody.

5. Diversify your liquid savings

Reference #4.

Never. It all belongs to me.

Stuff like that would make Abe Lincoln spin in his grave. Just like comparing apples to oranges.
