Conquerors or occupiers from Canada and the E.U.? (With what mighty forces or will?) I don't see that. But crawling sprawl from the Mexican border? Fer sher. Communist China occupying the West? More likely the areas of the East surrounding the supine universities and corporate campuses.

But I understand that the map is not really a map, but a symbolic diagram of disruption and creeping domination in the voids.

There can only be unity if at the core of a culture has a reasonable consensus of commonly held values and behaviors. That simply does not exist in America. Over the past sixty years a significant percentage of the American population has embraced decadence. Widespread drug use, abortion, acceptance of homosexuality and its associated perversions,hedonism, neo pagan earth and celebrity worship, indolence and dependency , pornography and overt delusionary thinking. What do decent, rational people commonly referred to as conservatives have in common with the epicurean decadents who live among them? There is no unity.

Right. Canada wouldn’t invade northern US. But, if parts of the north split off in a fracture scenario, they could align with Canada. I could see Canada welcoming “warmer” places like N. Dakota and Minnesota.

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

Arthur maybe had the big picture right but it didn’t lead to worthwhile policy as it should have.

I think we need a period of benign negelect by the various levels of government even to the point of being color blind in dealing with its citizens. Let people be judged on an individual basis alone,

In my personal life I have had few contacts with blacks but those that I’ve had have been good. I find treating them as I would anyone else works. The Golden Rule is good for all.

Explaining his theory in an interview with Izvestia, Panarin stated that "The U.S. dollar isn't secured by anything. The country's foreign debt has grown like an avalanche; this is a pyramid, which has to collapse...,

Correct in this direction.
