I promise you there is enough federal resources to quickly quash and highly organized nation-wide anti-law, anti-government, anarchist, antifa incident. Remember, Posse Comitatus Act only applies to the regular US Army and Air Force. Lotsa, lotsa, lotsa other heavily armed federal resources that are not REGULAR US Army or Air Force. Then again the unorganized militia (common armed citizen) would very quickly join the federal agencies to serve in whatever capacity requested of them.

will feel morally justified in punishing preppers as in their twisted minds they will see the reason that the SHTF event occurred was because they dared prep for it.

They already have the well-worn wording for this: "Others have too little because of hoarders hogging everything to profit off the less fortunate." The envious left disgusts me.

Yes you are not wrong. But if this thing kicks off and I don’t see a way out of it look for it to be short and sharp.

Some trigger event like the Bundy ranch will set off brush fires all over the country. It’s not the North vs the South it’s good vs evil. A one world globalist/,progressive govt and media vs one half of the U.S. Population. The half with most of the guns and former combat vets.

Once the shooting starts the big mouth celebs and the vajayjay hats along with most of BLM and ANTIFA will disappear from view. The rest of the world will grab a bag of popcorn and stay out of the way. Anybody who thinks the rinky dink UN is going step foot in the US needs a tin foil hat.

Any conflict will largely effect the big cities as the govt will likely cut off the internet, cable TV except for one station they control and maybe cell towers in the targeted zones. Look for the rebel factions to take down electricity and water themselves to thwart the occupation of large cities by govt forces. Most of the military is out of the country so good luck trying to contain this thing with the US marshals, FBI and DHS wannabe tough guys.

I predict in weeks or several months there will be a capitulation at the highest levels of govt. Capitulation to a group of mostly known names aligned with a major faction of the military leaders to change out cabinet positions and possibly the president depending on who it is with a temporary group of place holders. Look for a cooling off period to be announced to give time to purge the bureacracy, judiciary and both houses of Congress because yes there will be a winner and a loser. New elections to be held down the road.

If the cooling off period is properly executed we will see a total restoration of the Constitutional Republic. Would not surprise me to see a portion of our population move to Canada. That’s what happened after the revolution. The Tories moved to Canada and back to England.

Can you see that happening in Omaha NE or Provost UT? We are nation of 50 semi independent countries. It would be good to remember that.

I can see that happening in Omaha, Neb., birthplace of Malcolm X and the site of race riots in 1966, 1968 and 1969. Provost, Utah? Never heard of it and can't find it on any map. If it's a ghost town, it would, indeed, be an unlikely site for violence.

We may be a nation of 50 semi-independent countries, but groups like Black lives Matter, MS-13 and Code Pink do exist and can't be wished away.

We really don’t need the Muslims, we already have a growing militant anti-Christian segment. I see a time not to far off wherein being a devote Christian will be a crime (maybe unofficially but a crime never the less) and Christians will be rob beaten hunted and kill, Their homes and business burned to force them out of blue areas. Let the cleansing begin!

The lying evil msm is doing everything it can to get CWII going. We, the people, not so much. But, I’ll play along.

Do it peacefully and put the US border along the Sierra Nevadas and on up to Canada. They get Hawaii. We get Alaska. Puetro Rico is given back to Spain or anyone who’ll take it but excised from the US. They can also have American Samoa. We’ll keep the other territories but they get Guam if it tips over.

The Californican transplants in Austin will high tail it back from whence they came. Chicago will see the light and straighten themselves up. No welfare to illegals and visa over-stayers so they’ll self deport and the new USA BP and ICE are allowed to do their jobs without interference from Pelosi and her kind.

Because of that, I think that when the cities implode, there will be a massive die off.

It will be from violence, ill health, dehydration and then starvation.

City folks do NOT know how to handle the out of doors.

Those who manage to escape the cities will not receive a warm welcome in the country, and I could see many dying from exposure as they try to navigate the wilderness with no knowledge of how to feed themselves or keep themselves warm. Especially if it doesn ‘t happen in the summer in the north.

Antifa will cease to exist (split up in ethnic gangs). The Whites in Antifa will be on their own, and not last very long… The Alt-Right will continue to exist, although it might adopt a different name.

Adopt another name? We never adopted the name, 'Alt-Right', to begin with. The left made that up, then tried to hang it on us.

It's the left's effort to create an identifiable, organized faction, which they can then blame and target.

"You support Trump, the NRA, and vote Republican? Well, you're obviously a member of the Alt-Right hate group, so we can justifiably target you for elimination."

See how that works?

CWII Ping!

About the CWII Ping List

The CWII Ping List is short for Civil War II. It is NOT a list of people advocating another Civil War in America. It is a list of people who are interested in the parallels between the Civil War (or War Between the States, if you prefer) and our current situation, or more generally are noting the references to a 'coming Civil War' that are made in the press.

The correct keyword tag for the Civil War II ping list is "CWII".
Please Freep Mail me to get on the list

May be true but I still do not see an armed insurrection developing.

And if Mexico believes they can successfully start one and come out unharmed they are not paying attention.

I should amend a little of what I said. Sam Francis didn't propose anarcho-tyranny he just described what he saw.

Inexorably there is new technology that will tell the authorities if you have any kind of infraction. They will have radar that sees throughout your house. Your digital interactions will all be collected and analyzed. Every gunshot in every jurisdiction will be traceable with triangulation. The 4th amendment will be history.

Eventually the authorities will have drones to shoot American citizens like Obama did to Americans overseas. But they won't shoot at the mob that burned out the Christians (or other group). They will instead shoot the Christians who have the nerve to defend themselves.

>>Did I miss something?

Maybe. Did you listen to the teacher instead of studying the war?

A civil war is a war between two factions inside a country who are fighting to gain control of the government of the nation.

A war for independence is one where a part of a nation declares that it intends to separate from the other and create its own government. It does not seek to overthrow or change the nation it left. (See the Declaration of Independence for a good example that your teachers DID talk about).

The Confederate States were the latter.

I don’t think we are anywhere near a Civil War. Will their be violence in our cities? Probably. But there is violence now.

There is no charismatic leader in the Demo party that could set it off, no one who could lead the masses of people into a Civil War. Hillary? no. Pocahontas? no. Joe Biden? Get real.

The one thought that does occur to me is that the people threatening Civil War are those who are disarmed, vote for continued disarmament every 4 years as they elect their mayor and are quite satisfied to not have the ability to protect their families from harm. And they’re threatening to take on the largest armed civilian force on the planet? With guns? Really? If someone tries to start a civil war it will end quickly.

We are a long way from Civil War.

For people who wonder why I am still LIVID at NeverTrumpers, read 1-8 again and ask whether driving our country into that scenario is fair to our kids and grandchildren, just because Trump is a ‘baffoon’

I really enjoyed this article at The American Spectator: The Collapse of the Never-Trump Conservatives, by Emerald Robinson.

In fact, the magazine seems to be rejuvenated, as if perhaps they looked around and said: "we're the last conservative hard-copy magazine standing!

I'm sure most of us will never forget this astounding piece of treachery:

The truth is though, that the National Review has been a false guide for many, many years now. The realization of that has slowly grown. In fact that Alt-Right published an entire book on the destructiveness of William F. Buckley's endless purges of the right of everyone he disagreed with.

In the end the old Paleo-Con critics of the Neo-Cons had it pretty much right, they were a bunch of ex-Trotskyites who never left behind a lot of the far-left opinions. Bill's daddy's book might still be the best summary of their opinions:

No kidding whites in the south are the most solid with any population numbers

And I don’t see rural southern blacks wanting to get slaughtered nor sharing Antifa values

There is already a low volume rumble aminsy southern blacks about the dem hard turn left

It’s starting in their churches and polls reflect it

It’s a start

“Hey Tyrone you want to herd with the gay marriage transvestite open borders muslim loving man hating #metoo Left....or you want to go deer hunting with hot chicks in cammo “

I know that answer considering I’ve spent my life around them
