I fear that there is a looming civil war on the horizon. It is not yet inevitable, but all true American patriots must be prepared for the coming battle. And the costs in blood will be heavy. This war will not be fought like the American Revolution or the Civil War of 1861-65, where disciplined armies observed the laws of war and respected civilian lives.
This war will be waged by far-left radicals and their deep-state puppet masters. For them, civilian casualties and massacres will not be moral evils, but merely part and parcel of their larger plan to “reconstruct” America. Their objective is simple: overthrow our constitutional order, destroy our way of life, and deprive us of our freedom, our liberties, our property, and our honor.
I have spent many years in countries that have suffered civil war and its horrors, such as Russia (including Chechnya), Syria, Lebanon, Croatia, Bosnia, and Kosovo. I have also carefully studied the history of revolutions and civil conflict. And until recently I would never have believed a second civil war in America to be possible. But the warning signs are all there, and they began appearing most visibly when Donald Trump became the Republican nominee for president. He is the first American politician that strikes fear into the hearts of both the deep state and the radical left. And that fear makes them extremely dangerous.
The Bolshevik October Revolution of 1917 was carried out by a mere few thousand party members in St. Petersburg. And it was sudden and unexpected, the Bolshevik Central Committee made the decision to launch a coup d’etat only hours before its execution. In fact, as late as July 1917 Lenin himself did not expect a communist revolution in his lifetime. The Russian Civil War that followed is a horrifying story of savage carnage and obscene violence.
In similar fashion, I believe one likely spark for the Second American Civil War will be the result of a coup d’etat carried out by anti-America extremists. It will catch most Americans by surprise. The coup plotters will act quickly to seize the critical levers of power, before any opposition has a chance to react. And they will be aided and abetted by the kinds of people Lenin referred to, contemptuously, as useful idiots.
The shock troops will come from the ranks of Antifa and radical anti-white elements of the Black Lives Matter movement. These fascist stormtroopers will be augmented by the even larger numbers of veterans of Occupy and other far-left movements. And jihadists from across the globe will flock to support this coup. But the real power will be behind the scenes, in the hands of the bureaucrats of the American deep state, who will see such a far-left coup as their best chance to preserve and expand their far-reaching powers, but which President Trump threatens.
Much of the mainstream media will initially be warmly supportive. A few so-called conservatives at The New York Times may meekly protest that while the ends of the revolution are laudable, perhaps the means are a bit too messy. But most of the liberal media will fall into lockstep, in the belief that as long as they are supportive, the coup leaders will allow them to stay in business. Many Americans will believe their pro-coup propaganda and quietly submit, or at least refrain from overt resistance.
The faculties at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton will pass resolutions of fervent support, and their brainwashed students will rush to enlist in the revolution before all the excitement passes. Likewise, left-leaning foundations and oligarchs will promise financial support. And the Federal Reserve will flood the economy with debased currency.
Not all Democrat politicians will turn traitor, but there will be some prominent establishment “statesmen” who will betray our country. They will naively believe that they will be able to control the revolution and turn it to their own purposes. When their fig leaf of respectability is no longer required, they will get the fate they deserve. But their role will be critical, to give coup leaders the guise of “continuity of government” while they seize the critical levers of power.
America’s external enemies will not sit by idly. The new revolutionary government will offer generous terms in return for “foreign assistance” (meaning secret police), and troops if necessary. Expect a Treaty of San Antonio whereby Mexico “recovers her historic territories” of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and southern California. Russia will expect a return of Alaska (and its oil) to the Motherland. China and the European Union will demand we surrender our economic sovereignty and become vassals of Beijing and Brussels. And, of course, the United Nations will offer to send in the “blue helmets” to “restore civil order.” North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran will all also want in on the spoils in return for “technical support.”
And what will be the agenda of this regime? The first priority is obvious: the confiscation of all privately owned guns. An armed citizenry ready and prepared to defend its rights would be an intolerable threat to the regime. The next logical step would be identifying any and all possible sources of opposition and interning them and their families in “re-education” camps. The third priority will be a radical redistribution of property. It would destroy the American free-enterprise economy, but short-term it would guarantee the loyal support of all those hoping for a share of the spoils.
I do not wish to be alarmist. But what I describe here is a plausible scenario. And have no doubt, our nation’s enemies are resolute and determined. The continued existence of our great country, the United States of America, will depend on the bravery, strength, resourcefulness, and patriotism of her most loyal citizens. We must stand prepared for all possible threats.
May God bless and protect America.
WHERE did you get your number of IRA fighters?- Fwiw in 1974, I attended a USAMPS school with an Irish GARDA captain & his GUESS was about 1,000-1500 IRA fighters.
As I mentioned in another post, BG Wendell Fertig had only about 50 guerrilla fighters through most of 1942 in the Philippines & those few US/Filipino guerrillas “played hell with” the 18th Japanese Field Force that outnumbered Fertig’s rag-tag group by at least 50-1.
(Casualty records, which were found after WWII, indicated that Fertig’s force killed or severely wounded at least 1300 Japanese soldiers & destroyed MILLIONS of dollars of Japanese equipment/supplies/property.- Setting Japanese-occupied buildings & equipment afire with Molotov cocktails cost the Japanese dearly.)
On the first actual day in February 1942 that Fertig’s force was active, the TOTAL number of longarms in USFIP hands was a about a DOZEN WWI-era Model of 1917 rifles, about 50 rounds of M2 Ball ammo, TWO privately-owned 16-gauge DB shotguns, with a single box of 25 shells, 4 “obsolete” Alaskan-model .45 caliber revolvers with about 25 rounds of pistol ammo & a single box of cane-knives.
(Knowing how PROUD that his Filipino personnel were, BG Fertig “passed out” a cane-knife to each Filipino & ordered them to go kill a Japanese soldier & NOT RETURN w/o his weapon, ammo, clothing & field gear. - USFIP records indicate that most of the few Filipinos fighters actually “- - - - returned to Fertig’s camp with TWO rifles & ammo, plus a large quantity of Japanese supplies”.)
A historical note: A former 20YO cruise ship civilian employee named Adolpho M. Guzman went into a nearby town in March 1942 to visit his family, to gather information about the Japanese who might be there, to “bring back anything useful that he could acquire” & was gone for about a week. When he returned late one night, he was “leading a group of over 100 ‘native bearers’, who were staggering under loads of weapons, numerous cases of Japanese ammo, 2 heavy machine guns with belts & about 5 tons of fresh/canned food & other military equipment & useful supplies”. - BG Fertig immediately promoted the man to 1LT, USFIP & “appointed him as Chief of Supply & Services, US Forces in the Philippines”.

Got the “200” number out of John Ross’ “Unintended Consequences”.
It referred to the number actually actively working against the Brits, not just members.
Bkmk
First time I have ever seen this particular observation in print. No, they won't.
I have said for many years that if the United States falls into civil chaos, the wannabe superpowers of Russia, China, et al will not waste such an opportunity.
If the U.S. burns, then the world will burn. And as much as I hate to say it, it will deserve to.
THANKS for the info on the source for the “200”.
As you have doubtless guessed, I’ve done some considerable amount of reading about USFIP actions in the Philippines & against the Japanese Forces in 1942-45.
According to the diary of a senior Japanese Naval Aviator, one of “the most humiliating psycological defeats of our forces” was that one of Fertig’s guerrilla fighters succeeded in stealing “- - - the very valuable & treasured personal polo pony of a Japanese General Officer & spiriting the horse away, ‘under the very noses of’ the General’s staff.”

You are correct. It will be far worse. 25 to 30 percent of the population will lose their lives
watch v for vendetta. That is how to stop this thing
I assure you both sides have guns and leftists are itching to kill
the military is not to be counted on
Beetlejuice in chiraq is saying gun control.
The question is who around the world would supply our side?
Depends on whether Trump is reelected or if the US Army will be on the side of Antifa.
He will and the military will support him.
How are we in the rural areas to determine who is a Patriot in any city at any time? Not possible. I do assure you we ruralites have no interest in shooting any Patriot. How would we know so as to prevent such a travesty?
Who is getting us together well enough to make identification easy...like special hats or insignias? Who?
Learn how to create and run a checkpoint. If they don’t have a contact in their phone that’s inside your area. Keep moving.
Russia will sell mines, mortars, rpg’s to ANYONE. They don’t care.
Army on the side of ANTIFA!! Don’t make me laugh!
“Every country is different. And civil wars have hsd different causes. The civil war in The Sudan had totally different causes from the civil war in Yugoslavia for example.”
All true. It’s also true that, at least so far, no civil war anywhere at any time has ever occurred with the conditions that exist currently in the US. It’s worth pointing that out as well. It doesn’t mean that there couldn’t be a first time. But in an article like this it seems to me it’s a counter argument that should be considered and explain why it doesn’t pertain.

It's imperative that a patriot like Trump is CiC when and if a war erupts. If not, a rat CiC will attempt to use the military to crush our side. In that scenario our side can still win, but the cost will be MUCH higher.
Extrapolating from that premise, if a war is to occur, it's better that the left starts it while Trump is president.
This constitution you talk about, is that the one that says natural born citizen and ALL of our elected and appointed failed to uphold when they swore in Obama who wasn’t?
