Anyone remember that Russian political scientist, Igor Panarin, and his forecast in the 12/10/2008 Wall Street Journal?
In the summer of 1998, based on classified data about the state of the U.S. economy and society supplied to him by fellow analysts at FAPSI, Panarin forecast the probable (45-55%) disintegration of the US into 6 parts in 2010 following a civil war triggered by mass immigration, economic decline, and moral degradation. He forecast financial and demographic changes provoking a political crisis in which wealthier states will withhold funds from the federal government, effectively seceding from the Union, leading to social unrest, civil war, national division, and intervention of foreign powers.
