Writers detail shocking civil war resulting from 'Tea Party militia' taking over South Carolina town - and the U.S. military's response
They prophesize that unrest will result from the the economy's failure to improve from 'Great Recession'
Commenters quick to fire back at the writers, as one brands Col Benson a 'traitor in waiting'
A duo of writers have ignited an uproar with their foretelling of an insurrection that will plunge America into a new civil war, courtesy of a 'Tea Party militia.'
Written in disturbing detail by a retired colonel and the academic, the article describes events leading up to a full-blown civil war on American soil, like the one that is currently gripping Syria.
The article also describes the plan of the American military to quash the rebellion orchestrated by its own citizens.
The Small Wars Journal article, entitled 'Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland: A "Vision" of the Future,' was written by retired U.S. Army Col Kevin Benson and Jennifer Weber.
So when does such a civil war begin? According to Benson and Weber, the seeds of their vision have already been planted.
They write that the Great Recession will have lasted longer than anyone could know, sparking massive unemployment and political unrest.
Benson and Weber write that despite a change in control of the White House and Congress in 2012, the economys downward smile will continue, with the percentage of jobless Americans near double digits.
But the authors say it wont be until 2016 when things start to take a bad turn.
The write: 'In May 2016 an extremist militia motivated by the goals of the "tea party" movement takes over the government of Darlington, South Carolina, occupying City Hall, disbanding the city council, and placing the mayor under house arrest.'(continued)

“When, exactly, was the scenario written? “
Look at the date, August 13, 2012.
Agreed.
This is stupid. Everyone knows the “recession” ended in 2009 and we’re in a grass shoots recovery led by our scary starin-down-Putin hero with even more massive pectorals than Schwarzaneger.
WHY would those crazy homo-hatin’ extremist racist TEA partiers do anything so crazy as stand up for the Constitution, a moldy oldy from 200+ years ago. No one reads cursive anymore anyway.

“Marshal Law” would be a great screen name for a forum moderator, though. :-)
Tea Partiers can barely get out of their electric scooters.
Many of the angry young men today aren't conservatives. And given demographics and lack of outreach by conservatives, they never will be.
Typical leftists drivel. We are in much greater danger of insurrection from anarchists on the left than we are from the Tea Party.
And yes, the Democrats were in charge of a corrupt government.
Returning vets, people who support the Constitution, Christians etc., etc. are the ones who are going to be targeted as enemies of the State. First you have to plant such ideas in the fertile minds of the easily manipulated. If people read it in books or see it in movies and hear popular people from the entertainment industry suggest such things, they’ll start parroting the b.s. like they were under hypnosis.
You want to look for ‘clues’ on the upcoming civil war, start looking at the unprovoked ‘hate whitey’ crimes.
The >900,000 bikers ride to DC this past 9-11 is yet another clue.

A more likely scenario for a Civil War is that in 2016 Obama declares himself President for life and imposes a police state in the US.
More 1776 than 1861.

Not as portrayed.
“...a full-blown civil war on American soil, like the one that is currently gripping Syria.”
The outbreak of the civil war in Syria (as well as in Egypt) was caused by their tyrannical government, corruption, and a “long train of abuses and usurpations” driving their peoples to rebel.
The article is written from a totalitarian point of view.
You’ve revealed their soft underbelly. The first wave will confiscate and destroy all Twinkies.
Lefties have a real problem discerning the difference between the real world and fiction.
It’s fiction.
Wolverines!
“This is a big country. You’re gonna need more than a drone and an Abrams to stop a serious rebellion.”
President Washington called out the militia and personally lead an army to Pennsylvania to put down our first serious rebellion. It remains the only instance of a Commander in Chief leading American soldiers in the field.
