The United States is in decline. While not all major shocks to the system will be devastating, when the right one comes along, the outcome may be dramatic.
Not all explosives are the same. We all know you have to be careful with dynamite. Best to handle it gently and not smoke while you’re around it.
Semtex is different. You can drop it. You can throw it. You can put it in the fire. Nothing will happen. Nothing until you put the right detonator in it, that is.
To me, the US – and most of the supposedly free West – increasingly looks like a truck being systematically filled with Semtex.

Agreed. One reason why so many will die is the big cities will be hit the hardest. Millions of people clamoring for the same basic necessities at the same time, while people who do not live close to the big city and have the necessary supplies on hand to survive for 3-6 months will survive.
Hence a huge why the USA isn't mentioned in biblical prophesy. She will no longer exist as a nation and thereby be an afterthought to everyone else in the civilized world.
Rossia Segodnya is more than “essentially” state propaganda from the Kremlin since the Kremlin owns it. And that’s aside from Putin himself, the KGB agent who altered the constitution to stay in power (bouncing from being prime minister back to president) and has held power since 1999, who nationalized all sorts of strategic businesses and of course renationalized the media, who threatened to nuke Poland and Ukraine, whose current Duma is 20 percent Communist Party of the Russian Federation, and who allies himself with apocalyptic Twelver Shi’ites in the presumed guise of protecting Christians. And of course, whose RT publishes the words of an Antiwar.com “journalist” as utter fact.
The very minimum to sustain a society is 1.3.
I believe 2.1 is the minimum to sustain. One point three was listed as the rate from which no country/culture has ever recovered ... it basically halves the population of the country in one generation.
You are correct. Thanks.
Why excerpt the Commie Press? I don’t want to get cyber cooties.
“There are large segments of the nation where traditions of hard work, honesty, fair play and common decency are still dominant. Those areas include some segments of our inner cities and the vastness that is flyover country”.
Well put.
That is why we haven’t collapsed.
“A revolution is at hand that will overthrow all of those who are contemptuous of America’s great traditions”.
Yes and may God help us.
Ironically, I think winning the Cold War opened the door to a lot of silly, self-destructive folly—most of it under the umbrella of Political Correctness. It’s just getting worse and worse.

Political Correctness was designed by the Communists after the Russian Revolution. It was designed to control the narrative. Critical thinking and rational discourse have been replaced by Political Correctness.
People have been dumbed down beyond their wildest dreams.
Do you seriously think we have 25-30 years to clear the system.
It’s all Cloward/Piven, Alinsky and a bunch of 60’s radical Marxists who never grew up.
We are doing to ourselves what the Soviets and Chicoms could never do, destroy Freedom and with it an ideology without firing a shot.
There is a way to fix it and fix it quickly. Say no and fight back. In schools, religious institutions, businesses. Just say no more. When the lawsuits start flying, open up rules for radicals, conservative edition and fire back.
Liberalism is weak in one key area. They cannot take criticism. They run on emotion so when you attack that, they are whipped. Bout time we take the bull by the horns and fight back.
Good article regardless of the source. When the SHTF the EBTers, heavily medicated and Zombiephile crowd will get thinned pretty fast. Man’s law is corrupt but Nature’s law stays consistent and cruelly efficient to the stupid and unprepared.

Exactly!
And one key factor will be explaining to and persuading the sheep how badly Progressive/Liberal policies have hurt them on a personal level.
They cannot see the big picture so their view must be narrowed down for them to where they can comprehend. Then will they be able to see the whole picture.
Article is pretty much spot on.
POSTULATE 1: “There has always been and there will always be people, particularly the young, that seek to set themselves apart from the culture. (i.e.: counter culture)”
POSTULATE 2: “We have no culture. => It’s gone!”
Whereas, in the last 50 years counter culture may have been typified anything from music...to art...to leather jackets...to rock t-shirts...to long hair (guys)...to smoking pot. All relatively harmless. But...this no longer will suffice. That was countering what could be identified as “a culture”.
Referencing postulate 2, there is no culture!
But...still the impulse toward being counter culture remains.
So, what has counter culture become? => It’s become personally destructive!
It’s become:
No boundaries social media.
YouTube “Reaction” videos.
Sentimental one-ups-men ship.
20/30 somethings obsessed with video gaming.
Hard liquor resurgence.
Heroine.
Bolts thru your nose.
Washers in your ears.
Women with sleeve tattoos.

When The Music Stops: How America’s Cities May Explode In Violence
“America is a bomb waiting to explode.”
Or a forlorn turd waiting for the flies.
And that is precisely Obama’s intention, and has been all along.
Interesting. Rebelling against your own survival instincts ... good post.
Keep an eye on Donald Trump.
America should be all right. It wont be as White as it used to be (Sorry Trump and FReepers) but the nation will remain intact. Can’t say the same for European nations like Germany.
The German astronomer, William Herschel, was looking through his telescope in July of 1820 when he noticed an object he named “Nullvia,” cause he liked the name and numbered it: NGC-8790, Nullvia. The next day while observing the celestial object, he noticed something peculiar; it was alone in space, having nothing around in a circle of over 200 light years. My God Herschel exclaimed, “Nullvia is in a void!”
It was after Herschel died that a priest named Carlos “the silly” Campeche, in 1868, made a haplography error while transcribing Herschel’s NGC. Instead of “Nullvia is in a void,” he wrote “Null and Void” as an annotation next to NGC-8790, Nullvia. So now you know why Carlos Campeche got his moniker of Carlos “the silly.”
