What Would a Hybrid Civil War Look Like?
Belmont Club / PJ Media ^ | MARCH 2, 2019 | Richard Fernandez

Posted on 03/04/2019 3:17:23 PM PST by Jack Black

Hardly a day goes by without the tempo of political hostility rising -- sometimes to the level of physical confrontation. Recently, "a man being sought for the assault of a conservative activist on the University of California, Berkeley campus [was] arrested."

There is less and less regret for incivility. Nobody says sorry anymore, they just retreat into a private reality where they are always right. The Washington Post, still reeling from misidentifying the victim and aggressor in a story about Covington Catholic High School students and activist Nathan Phillips, simply slapped itself on the wrist with an Editor's Note admitting it got its account wrong and declared it all square. That was better than YouTube, which allegedly deplatformed a retired Navy SEAL who debunked Nathan Phillips' claim that he was a Vietnam vet.

We're already in a Civil War. Our problem is that we won at the ballot box, but lost because there are so many infiltrators who lied to get our votes.

I can't see our side fighting back, because our "leaders" in the US Senate and House don't defend us. Any fighting will be, as now, when it erupts in specific locations. And what happens? "Our side" handles it poorly or caves. (example: the wall)

JMHO: It's not if, but when, the US situation spins out of control, and any defense will be on local levels, for self-preservation.

I’m counting on that (variation). My main goal, in as much as anybody cares what I think, is to encourage folks who can to move away from the blue hive megacities. I want folks to consider where their water comes from, and how long it’s likely to flow if their is civil disorder upstream.

Now is the time that folks can move to the areas more likely to pull through. That’s my goal here, not just to spread doom and gloom.

With the published population losses in California and New York, there may already be a trend. The problem is the rate of leaving must increase.

"If you haven’t yet elected a pro-2nd amendment, Constitutional sheriff in your county to protect you, your family and your community, get off your ass and do it now. Ain’t much time left."

I fully agree with that..

Unfortunately most of the blue areas have great sea ports to import food and supplies.

It means the red areas plan on starving the blue areas will not work.

On what planet? Perimeter guards are low-level GS employees who drive from home to work, and shop at WalMart.

The EU, Ukraine, Argentina etc. etc.

The British sold first rate warships to the CSA/CSN did they get their money back? They will bet on what they perceive as a winner.

We’ll see.
Here’s an outstanding photo essay about one of America’s worst Blue Hives.

"those of ones own who sided with the state. Collaborators.

It seems I read somewhere that nearly half of the people work for the government.. Fed, state, county and township... That's a lot of people..

I’m thinking cutting wheels and thermite on hundreds of thousands of miles of buried pipe and steel high tension towers.

Yeah, that can be guarded.

Pointing out historical realities is not advocacy.

"Oakland or maybe Seattle"

Seattle certainly wouldn't be a loss... That place is messed up.. I think it may be the most UNAMERICAN place I've ever been... And I have been around.....

Most of the blue areas are within the thirty miles of a sea port that would be relevant without electricity, petroleum,
or railroads? Really?
