In 1990, few were predicting the breakup of the Soviet Union.
But it came – only a year later.
With 2009 set to begin in a few days, there is someone predicting the breakup of the United States – a year from now.
His name is Igor Panarin, a former KGB analyst and dean of the Russian Foreign Ministry's school for foreign diplomats – in other words, a serious fellow.
For him, it's nothing new. He's been making the same prediction for last 10 years. But, until recently, no one took him seriously. And then came the economic calamity that has rocked Americans and the rest of the world, too. Now, Panarin's predictions of an end of the United States, due to economic and moral collapse, is being taken seriously by many.
Panarin blames out-of-control mass immigration, economic decline and moral degradation for what he believes could be a civil war as early as next fall and a total collapse of the dollar. By June or July of 2010, he sees the U.S. breaking into six pieces.
Now, I'm not buying into Panarin's entire prediction. But I do think there's something to it.
I've been talking about this possibility more and more in recent years. I don't see how this house of cards we're building can possibly withstand the next significant windstorm. The political ties no longer bind. Only inertia and the threat of force hold us together.
The economic crisis is clearly visible to all – but all the wrong buttons are being pushed. In fact, the same people who got us into this mess are digging a deeper hole for all of us to climb out of.
The other two crises he points to have scarcely even been recognized by many people – out-of-control immigration and moral rot.

Can I get a Jack Cashill book too!?
My point, exactly. They have already been overrun.
Put your money in metals. ammo and firearms, I imagine it will turn out like the last War of Northern Agression, only sooner. We dont have the cohesion to rebel and Obana’s Brownshirts will crush us like a bug. Store at least a years supply of food and pray for deliverance.

I tell you why his prediction of US break up is unbelievable. It seems like he’s not aware of local sentiment in the area he thinks will break up. California under China influence?! California will more likely go with Mexico than China. Alaska under Russia?! With Palin as Govenor. Not likely
I don't have as strong an opinion of WND as you do. Never knew they had to "bless" predictions, for example.
The US does not exist in Revelations, that's a given. Taking from the working red states to give to the free-loading blue states (Wall Street bailout, Detroit bailout, NY state bailout) is what started the Civil War. If you know your history, you'll know this is true.
Maybe you want to take all the kookie pieces and put them in the big picture before you start posting whacko - pointing fingers stuff. It only underscores how close minded even the so-called open-minded can be. Whether you personally like/support/generally agree with the site/author or not.
There's a whole bunch of stuff out there. FR is the place to put the pieces together, as we've done in the past. Don't close doors before we even went through them.
Second of all, the financial collapse —OF THE ENTIRE GLOBE — was orchestrated, with B0 in the middle of it. You still want to talk WND, who is only a messenger, or expand your view of the big picture?
Actually, you have it backwards — the Blue states regularly support the Red States. New York, of instance, regularly gets back about 75 cents for every dollar it sends to Washington. Alabama gets back about $1.25.
The Tax Foundation has done a detailed study of the distribution of taxes.
The part I liked was the fantasy of the midwest and central US under Canadian control. That would end with our first election as Canadian citizens. I doubt Canada really wants a sudden infusion of 100 million or so Americans.
You’re right, there is nothing good that could come out of any scenario.
I will stand my ground and fight for my home as well. But I WILL NOT fight to keep Virginia subservient to an overarching federal government or united to liberal, socialist states like NY or the states of New England or MI, or IL, MN, WI, WA, OR or CA. They can all pretty much go to hell for all I care.
A nation like the US will only break up when it can no longer afford to pay the soldiers to pull triggers - which may be closer than we think.
lelle guess ... barak’ll fix it ?
lemme guess ... barak’ll fix it ?
if some of you guys are so against seccession and think unity is better, then why do you oppose amero
Mr. Obama, Tear down the wall!
Personally I would rather see conservatives pull their heads out of their butts and stop voting for stupid crap like name recognition, and charisma.
JAT but what if you took one state and saturated it with conservatives. Once we had the “right” leaders in office and everything constitutional again we add another state until we get our country back. All legal.
Before the door closes, we should remember that much of what was special about this country is now gone. I don’t think Farah’s article is that far-fetched, though it would certainly take time.
As a country we are in a moral and economic pit. It’s hard to see how we extract ourselves given the current state of the education system, border control, and a shredded currency.
