In last week's article I discussed the issue of American “balkanization” and the rapid migration of conservatives and moderates from large population centers and states that are becoming militant in their progressive ideology. In my home state of Montana there has been a surge of people trying to escape the chaos and oppression of leftist states. Some are here because of the pandemic and the harsh restrictions they had to endure during the first lockdowns. Others are here because they can't stand the hostility of identity politics, cancel culture and race riots. Either way, they are fleeing places with decidedly leftist influences.
Uprooting and moving to an entirely new place is not an easy thing to do, especially in the middle of a pandemic. For many people, such an idea would have been unthinkable only a few years ago. Believe me, moving to a place like the Rocky Mountain Redoubt is not an easy transition for most. Hopefully these people understand that they will have to make extensive preparations for the rough winter and be ready to work hard in the spring and summer months to survive. Maybe they don't realize yet how tough it is here; maybe they know and don't care.
That's how bad the situation has become – Rational and reasonable people are willing to leave behind their old life and risk it all to keep a margin of freedom.
In my view it is clear that the political left has gone so far off the rails into its own cultism that there is no coming back. There can be no reconciliation between the two sides, so we must separate, or we must fight. I advocate for separation first for a number of reasons:
First and foremost, conservatives are the primary producers within American culture. If we leave the leftists to their own devices there is a chance they will simply implode in on themselves and eat each other because they have no idea how to fill the production void. The recent developments in the defunct CHAZ/CHOP autonomous zone are a perfect example. Those people don't have the slightest clue what they are doing and it shows.
Second, if conservatives separate it provides a buffer that helps defuse future random conflicts. When you force the two sides into a box together eventually they will find a reason to try to kill each other. Putting some distance between them and us reduces the angst.
Third, if the leftists decide they don't like that we have separated and are thriving on our own, and they attempt to antagonize or attack us where we live, then we hold the clear moral high ground when we smash them to pieces in response.
I fully realize that the third outcome is the most likely. War is probably inevitable. Why? Because collectivists and narcissists are never satisfied. They desire unlimited control over the lives of others and they will use any means to get that control no matter how destructive. Separating from them is only a stop-gap that allows us to take the superior position. Through peaceful migration, we set the pace of the conflict. Eventually they will come after us, and there will be no doubt about our response then. There will be no way to spin the result in their favor, no way for them to play the victims.
Some people might question if we are actually to the point of open conflict; they might accuse me of “doom mongering”. Others may argue that conservatives are acting “passive” and that we will never take any action. These assumptions are common right now because such people do not understand how history progresses and how group psychology evolves.
Domestic war is not something pursued lightly, or haphazardly. The average person knows at least subconsciously that it's better to seek resolution or to remain patient as events unfold. Conservatives aren't stupid; we know that before any civil war there is first a culture war. And, we know that the cards are stacked against us and that if we act rashly in any way we will lose position in that culture war.
So, we let the leftists spit and rage like madmen for a little while. Each day people who were on the fence when it comes to the culture war are witnessing this and come over to our side because we're the only side that is sane. The drawback is, there comes a point in which calm professionalism might be wrongly perceived as weakness. And when people sense weakness among conservatives, they might run into the arms of the extreme left thinking that it's safer to join the “winning team”.
I believe conservatives have not been sucked into a reactionary stance yet because they are thinking logically and refusing to play the game for now. In some ways it is how we enter the fight that is more important than the fight itself. To understand why, we have to look at the bigger picture beyond the left/right conflict.
As I noted last week, the political left is a tool for a greater agenda. They are being used as a weapon of chaos by globalist interests. This is not “conspiracy theory”, this is conspiracy fact. Millions of dollars have poured into Antifa and BLM related groups through elitist donors like George Soros and his Open Society Foundation as well as the Ford Foundation. Globalist institutions like these have been influencing the extreme left and promoting identity politics for DECADES. This is openly admitted. What we are witnessing in 2020 is simply the culmination of a half-century long propaganda campaign that created the modern feminist movement, victim group status, entitlement culture, etc.
The reason for the agenda should be obvious: Chaos creates fear. Fear creates division and crisis. And, crisis creates opportunity (as globalist Rahm Emanuel once bragged). Meaning, the extreme left is going to start a war because that's exactly what the global elites created them for. Now, some might suggest that this places conservatives in a Catch-22 position; if we don't fight back then we will look weak. We will be culturally isolated and eventually overrun and wiped from the history books. If we do fight back we will be giving the globalists what they want – A civil war that will tear America apart.
The suggestion by certain special interests will be that there is only one way out; use government power to turn the tide to our advantage. In other words, institute martial law. I don't really see it that way. Once we understand that a fight is coming regardless, our task is to position ourselves with the most advantage possible while keeping our culture and our principles intact. This includes our belief in constitutionalism, civil liberties and opposition to tyranny in ANY form. Winning the fight is important, but maintaining our principles in the process is more important. Becoming a monster to fight the monster is the same as losing.
When the left comes for us (and they will), the fight has to be won by us, not government. We cannot hand even more power to government in the name of security. We cannot become the fascists the leftists accuse us of being. I am often asked these days about my view of the 2020 election and how it will turn out. I did predict Trump's election win in the summer of 2016 based on the idea that Trump's presence in the White House would drive the left insane, as well as give the globalists a perfect “conservative” scapegoat for the economic collapse they had been engineering since at least 2008.
Trump's cabinet of global elitists suggests his complacency in this plan. We still live under a one party system pretending as if it is a two party paradigm. Furthermore, I am not convinced there will even be an election in November. With pandemic lockdowns surely returning as infections spike once again, the US economy will be in ruins by winter. Voting in a traditional fashion will be difficult or restricted in some states. And, mail-in or digital ballots will not be accepted by most conservatives because of their history of being used to rig election outcomes.
Look at it this way: If Trump “wins”, or delays the election, the left will riot and a civil war will be triggered. Conservatives will have to deal with the violence of the left while also dealing with the potential for martial law (which we cannot tolerate or support either). If Biden “wins”, it will be perceived by many conservatives who still think elections matter as a stolen presidency engineered through fraudulent ballot practices.
To summarize, if Trump is still in the White House in 2021, get ready to fight back against leftist mobs as well as martial law measures. If you believe in freedom, realize that fake conservatives that support government tyranny will be as much a problem as Marxist lefties. If Biden enters the White House, expect him to immediately implement unconstitutional policies including medical tyranny, gun confiscation and martial law. Either way, it ends in war.
It's also the classic false choice narrative: You can choose Marxism and communism, or you can choose fascism. Communism being the elevation of the weak and the oppression of the strong in the name of arbitrary "equality", and fascism being the elimination of the weak or less fortunate in the name of making more room for the strong. Both sides rely on totalitarian government to assert dominance, and both sides benefit the elitist establishment. The great con is that there is no third option, when there is; the non-aggression principle, citizen defense, voluntarism and freedom.
Frankly, I almost prefer a scenario in which Biden and the left are perceived as stealing the election. At least then conservatives will be fully united once again and ready to fight, instead of passively relying on a Pied Piper like Trump to save them. The truth is, in 2020-2021 we stand at a massive nexus point in human history. We are spiraling into a decade and a fight that will decide the fate liberty for the next century or more. On one side stands the global elites and the useful idiots on the hard left. They will push for a collectivist system that erases all memory of the Constitutional Republic we once new, and they will get help from fake conservatives that value power over principle. On the other side stands the people that just want to be left alone; the free minds, the people that don't need or desire to have power over anybody.
If humanity is to have a future at all, the second group must continue to exist and prosper. They are the wellspring that feeds us, that gives us something to hope for. If the elites and the social justice mob take control, there can be no future for our species. They desire what they cannot and should not have. They value only what they can take from others. They have a hunger that can never be satiated. They will devour the world until there is nothing left while claiming they stand for the “greater good”. War cannot be avoided with such people; the only question is, will liberty minded people stay the course and stick by their principles or will they fall to their darker impulses to ensure victory?

He lost me right there. Losing to win is something that Rush Limbaugh has discussed numerous times and it is a faulty premise and a non-starter. If you lose something to the Left, you don’t get it back...their swamp unelected army ensures this. Imagine is President Trump had not won the last election. Would ever have been. Another election?
Just because somebody wrote it doesn’t mean it’s great. Sure he made some interesting points however I would still put Carlos Osweda’s intellect and his understanding of the pulse of the left and right and what PDJT has in his arsenal over this guy. It is important to use the correct definition of the term Civil War, as well.
Just brilliant. Sent it to a lot of contacts. Thanks!
Good point.
I thing there are a lot of people willing to organize and even take up arms..
But how to start? a declaration by several Red States? Do we need to decide on a uniform? Do we take siege of Richmond or perhaps San Fran?
Or, Perhaps we need to lay siege on Seattle ?
IMHO we are.
There are some Christians who believe this whole COVID-19 was a set-up practice run for the Black Swan event called the Rapture. The elites know it is coming since they are heavily into Satanic Ritualism - they even admit it in their description of the “Age of Aquarius” nonsense.
Don’t think for a hot second that God won’t pull the switch on the Marxists to catch them off-guard.
It’ll be like the Mexican Civil War they are having now.
Assassinations everywhere. Random murders, people missing. Homes burned down, public lynchings.
Think about what lawlessness brings.
left the San Diego beaches in Sept, lovin my Ft Worth summer.
Bkmk
Appomattox was time out. Time out is over.

Yes...like China’s or Russia’s.

You should be able to buy a gun in AK even if you live in CA. unless it is a handgun.
‘If Trump “wins”, or delays the election, the left will riot and a civil war will be triggered.’
this author makes some great points, and I fear the terrible bleakness of the picture he paints, the way rational people must have feared the onset of the first Civil War; my question, however, is what does he mean by ‘war’ when he says it will be triggered; obviously standing armies in the field whaling away at each other is not happening...I wish he had expounded on the means of the ‘war’ of which he so brilliantly speaks...
Are we?
No.
First it takes people on the right doing something more (short of the shooting war they think will solve all their problems) than sitting on their butts, not engaging in politics from the local level on up, and otherwise hoping that Jesus is going to run in at the last minute to spare them having to make an effort.
Our side too often wants fast and simplistic solutions that require no personal effort, or at least effort they wont have to personally make, and this civil war fetish is just another example. Most of these people cant even attend a school board meeting, or even maintain a frigging boycott of the NFL, but they are going to be in a war? Please.
Troubling times are ahead, no doubt. But his predictions of the way things will evolve are way off. First, a Bible believing Christian who has read the book of Daniel knows God is in control of true nations, and the entire Bible speaks of His plan for the fate of our species. That won’t be decided by globalist bogeymen.
Second, a conservative migration to create a Constitutional utopia is unlikely. Migrate en masse to where? Set up a strong and productive society with what assets, what industry, what markets? How are we going to keep the leftist CEOs and financiers and market middlemen out? How do you test for and enforce that short of totalitarianism?
Third, in the event of a civil war, it won’t be just political left vs. right. It will also be racial in some places. opportunists will rush in. Numerous enemies covet our territory, from Mexico to China. There will be enemies on every side, and it won’t be tidy and clear.
Again, this is from a biblical world view, but God’s word is clear about what he considers an “abomination”, and this country is full of them— from rampant homosexuality to the death of more than 70million babies and counting. Like Assyria in Nahum, the US is due for a reckoning. Some belief the middle chapters of the apocryphal book of Revelation refer to a pattern of judgement on a nation to weaken it in stages prior to destruction: disease, natural disasters, economic ruin, internal wars, external invasion. In the middle of that process, there is this chilling verse which at once shows God’s attempts to get people to change before it’s too late: “But still they did not cease from their idolatry and their killing.”
And for this we need to be prepared while we still have the opportunity.
Prepper ping.

‘One of the things that doesn’t get mentioned much is that in many jurisdictions it’s almost pointless to arrest people for anything but the most serious crimes right now.’
very shortly, white people not wearing masks in public places will begin being arrested...and they will have no defense, because according to the law that they (and we) have supported for many years, a private entity such as a grocery has the right to refuse service to anyone not following their rules, no matter how stupid, and for that matter, they have the right of informing the authorities of the rule breakers...
“A divided Union cannot stand”
If we divide, the leftists will flee to conservative areas to take them over too.
At some point a man must take a stand
No, a conservative, law-abiding country has borders. You keep the filth OUT.
