“Three minutes. This is it. The beginning. Ground zero. I think this is about where we came in.” – Fight Club

In the beginning, there was nothing. God said, “Let there be light.” There was still nothing, but now you could see it.
- Those who have an opposing ideology are considered evil.
- People actively avoid being near those of opposing ideology. Might move from communities or states just because of ideology.
- Common violence. Organized violence is occurring monthly.
- Common violence that is generally deemed by governmental authorities as justified based on ideology.
- Opposing sides develop governing/war structures. Just in case.
- Open War.
Volume VII, Issue 5
Most memes except for the clock and graphs are “as found”. I have moved the Clock O’Doom to 9., given the open support of assassination and criminality by the GloboLeft and the increase in violence as well as direct interference with ICE and the insertion of the military into law enforcement. Beware: the number can climb quickly.
My advice remains. Avoid crowds. Get out of cities. Now. A year too soon is better than one day too late.

Front Matter
Welcome to the latest issue of the Civil War II Weather Report. These posts are different than the other posts at Wilder Wealthy and Wise and consist of smaller segments covering multiple topics around the single focus of Civil War 2.0, on the first or second Monday of every month. I’ve created a page (LINK) for links to all of the past issues. Also, subscribe because you’ll join nearly 850 other people and get every single Wilder post delivered to your inbox, M-W-F at or before 7:30AM Eastern, free of charge.

The End of the Beginning
Things don’t start up all at once. I believe the start of Civil War 2.0 will start with the tensions that came from the election of Donald Trump in 2016. The real beginning of the war, I think historians will date as the attempted assassination of then presidential candidate Trump back in 2024.
I was shocked, but in retrospect this is the inevitable end of the years of GloboLeftist rhetoric on their unstable and mentally ill followers. I believe the assassination of Charlie Kirk was, to quote Churchill, “the end of the beginning.” Alone, this single act has changed the way millions feel.

We are now in a Sitzkrieg – a war, but a war where no one is really wanting to take action. Keep in mind, there is really no doubt about how the GloboLeft feel about you and everyone to the right of Mr. Rogers™. They want you dead and will celebrate the moment that it happens. Don’t believe me?

Overtly political violence from the GloboLeft continues. The GloboLeftists are dismayed every time that one of theirs is found to be killing. Why? Because, even now, they’re focused on removing guns from the hands of citizens – again, you and I. When a GloboLeftist or one of their criminal pets is again shown to be a murderer, it just makes bitter clingers to God and the Second Amendment like me cling just a bit tighter to my guns.
Because I can see that
Violence and Censorship Update
Violence leads again this month. And this is a month where Charlie Kirk was right: America will never be the same.

And GloboLeftists are reveling in it:

No one involved in the story below is American. Why do we bring this violence to our heartland?

Elon knows.

Oh, and murder runs in the family. Wonder how soon both of these budding doctors will be back on the street?

And the Dallas shooter who kept shooting illegal aliens rather the ICE officers he was aiming at?

And who, exactly, wanted to shut down communications around the United Nations?

The “British” Prime Minister indicates that British people are “the enemy” if they won’t call a mouse born in a stable a horse. This folks, is why you never give up your guns.

Meanwhile, all the GloboLeftists that openly celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk are getting fired because they have never had to stand up for their beliefs before.

Yeah, only one of them is fired, but if they were,

would anyone notice?

And, no, this is different.

Misery Index
The new Trump administration is shown in red. Results continue to be much better than Biden’s misery numbers as Trump’s policies apparently have been stunning at reversing the tide. We’ll see, as the long-term trend is not good.


Updated Civil War II Index
The Civil War II graphs are an attempt to measure four factors that might make Civil War II more likely, in real time. They are broken up into Violence, Political Instability, Economic Outlook, and Illegal Alien Crossings. As each of these is difficult to measure, I’ve created for three of the four metrics some leading indicators that combine to become the index. On illegal aliens, I’m just using government figures.
Violence:

Violence indicators are up significantly this month. No surprises there.

Political Instability:

Down is more stable, and it went up this month.

Economic:

The economy is down a bit this month.

Illegal Aliens:

Still the lowest level since the Weather Report started. Remember, they care nothing for our country, nothing for our history, and only want money and political power. This apparently includes Ben Shapiro.

The Unravelling
It really started with the lawfare attacks on Trump. Presidents had been considered mostly off limits to the legal process once they left office. Why? Perhaps a feeling that they had done their bit. Presidents also (mainly) shut up and didn’t criticize those that followed them with notable exceptions (Obama, I’m looking at you.)
With the GloboLeftElite going after Trump with every possible lawsuit or charge they could make up, Trump really didn’t have an option – his best defense was an offense. The man had nothing to lose, and a list of people who had done him wrong. Thus, Comey is the first of many who will likely be indicted for their behavior.

Since most of the indictments will be in 97% Globalist Leftist Washington, D.C., it’s nearly certain that a jury will clear Comey for political reasons. But the fight is going to the states as well, with California and Illinois being the frontline of places where the state governments are attempting to support illegal aliens and drug cartels.

The end though, is that the Democratic Party has devolved to the point where it is led by a group of people who hate America, and hate everything it stands for, and won’t rest until it’s been “fundamentally transformed” – and they’re getting what they wanted, because it’s all unravelling now.

My bet is they won’t like the outcome when it’s all done.

I’m old enough to remember the first time you moved to #9, then retreated to #8. This time brings the chill of truth. I’m a Virginian. On Nov. 4 we vote whether to elect the vile Jay Jones as Attorney General. No Dems have called for his withdrawal after his texts revealed the desire to kill the kids of a Republican state leader. Should Virginia decide wrongly, it’s on.
Yes, they’ve backed him. That tells you what they will do to us, if they can.
Maybe the normies will finally understand that the lefties want them dead too. But, I’m not holding any hope of that unless something big and violent repeats several times in quick succession. The 2026 election summer will be interesting, to say the least.
A quick summary of geography follows. Having lived in and worked in Charlotte since 1976, it’s simply unrecognizable to me outside the Myers Park/Eastover/SouthPark/Dilworth bubble. Huge changes in the past 10 years alone. West & North Charlotte were always POC cesspools, and now the inner ring eastern neighborhoods are following that path.
The city’s a microcosm of the USA as a whole. Deterioration from within that won’t end well.
Normies are as irrelevant as boomers. They aren’t going to help in any way, so stop worrying about them.
Be friends with neighbors you can discuss local solutions to local problems with.
You are a keyboard warrior. It will be old guys that fight. You people can’t even change the oil lol
Yup. I turn 78 at the end of the month and my trigger finger along with all my 11B20 training are still intact. I do believe, however, that the Normies, being Normies will not react until all of their jellybeans are taken away by a massive economic reset. That is on the horizon unless the Golden Golem and his (((handlers))) launch us into WWIII to save the Ukrainian (((dual citizen))). Keep prepping and stay vigilant. Bleib ubrig.
Old people will complain more and demand more free shit from the government even while claiming to be conservative.
“…don’t you touch my Medicare…!? says the MAGA wearing an NRA ball cap at the political rally.
Dude, you don’t know what you are saying. I am both, and am ready to do “what ever it takes” to stop this insanity. Are you as committed, as I am to defend my/our Country?
So, now I am irrelevant? You will need all of the help you can get.
Bear in Indy.
Committed to whatever it takes, yet you haven’t done anything, even back when it was possible for boomers to vote us out of this.
“am ready” means you are waiting for others to start something, at which point you’ll declare they don’t need you anyway and go back to hiring mexicans to do your yard work.
https://youtu.be/FhSy-6VqIww
Breitbart had it right. Good quote.
This isn’t new, the political Left way back to the French Revolution has always used violence to “convince” reluctant peasants to join their latest revolution.
And when they don’t join, they kill them.
‘The Left is the party of murder’ — Elon Musk
The Left is the Cainite bloodline, expressed politically. The seed of the serpent. It’s also the Party of Women.
‘You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him.’ — John 8:44
How to deal with them? Elijah’s way.
The left’s war on reality has made for some rather nice gains for those who position their personal empires along the path of ‘progress’. When the death cult wanted electric cars cuz climate crisis and cashless verified identity financial clearing cus information economy – they got it.
When they want murder, they get it. Totally unrelated, right “Elon Musk”?
Yes, very few will dare trace Progress back to the garden. The gynocracy we endure in the commons, and all institutional nodes of power is a joint-venture of the serpent and the woman. The female id set loose while the men hide themselves in fig leaves poast filming themselves in their trucks about trannies playing girlsport and other approved brands of opposition inc.
Fear not, all my daughters are in Top Colleges, becoming doctors and lawyers and they will lead us all out.
You see, the solution to the occupiers running their neurotic empire of rootless globo-cosmopolitan materialism is to become better at their game with hyper-individualistic opportunism and globo-financial arbitrage.
Now buy my book on how to ponzi your Brothers and raise beef in third world ranching strongholds while stacking gold and waxing about all the problems of “america”. without having to actually stretch barbed old barbed wire fencing by hand while all the strong girls are mysteriously elsewhere.
I reckon the one thing the fog of war will clarify will be the luxury of this great pretending that we can have this inverted cake and eat it too. Sad that it will cost our Brothers so dearly. As is always the way.
Bravo! At last, the Biblical truth/origin of the exact problem. That’s a lot of denied/ignored truth for one comment. Thank you! Well and truly said. As well:
“As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.” Isaiah 3:12 KJV
It’s so bad that there are nearly zero men who dare even to broach the subject with any of the women in their lives. Including myself. The sheer galactic levels of screaming hysterics, bug eyed denial, hissing spitting strife and dissolution certain to occur make civil war preferable. I would rather seek to end the enablers of the Lies, BAMN, than to attempt the impossible… to rationally “man’splain” to a brainwashed woman (nearly all of them to some degree), the horrendous social/political/economic damage wrought by feminism/leftism. A good slap on the yap ain’t gonna get it. I have to remain free from jail and keep my family and possessions intact until “circumstances” provide the indisputable and irrevocable evidence of the heresy/corruption,and the opportunity for correction.
May God have Mercy on us all.
That’s right Brother. But the old saw “never explain, never complain” holds. The ‘splainin is an after action report. The kid gloves with the lady are a luxury item that comes after power is seized and decisive action is taken.
We’ve been doing nothing but talking and explaining and listening to the fickle wants of the most coddled and entitled creatures since we were cast out.
Until talking time turns into the necessity of action, we are captives negotiating against our own best interest.
Women follow power, resources, provisions and the associated status atop the basic needs. Our abundance acquired by fiat debt is not just empty but detrimental to our most fundamental ordering of Gods hierarchy.
Comfort is in Our Lord. But even for the heathens we can square it up as “congruence with our natural state” as it operates in a moral framework that accrues status and resources to the pro-social and civic industriousness of men embodying our God given purpose.
Mercy indeed. I have failed so greatly my house is nearly all glass but I see quite clearly which these days is a blessing and a curse.
Good comment.
‘The gynocracy we endure in the commons, and all institutional nodes of power is a joint-venture of the serpent and the woman.’
It is. Exactly. A compact no different whatsoever from the Beginning . . . just lots more people.
No remedy, no way out ever is proposed that disempowers females and empowers males. Which is the only way out, or through. I.E.:
‘Fear not, all my daughters are in Top Colleges, becoming doctors and lawyers and they will lead us all out.’
Yep. The war-cry of the Conservacuck. Not to mention the Tim Walz crowd on the leftie side. Once the dads of daughters were heavily inventivized by the State, corporations, and culture to place princess at the front of every line, the show was pretty much over. That was 50 years ago.
Three generations of disenfranchised and hated boys and men are in the books, and doods are disengaging from their feminist societies with haste and understandable ranco. What do their gyno-nations say about that? They must be incels. Losers. Pre-insurrectionists.
Their mass exodus cannot be stopped because America is WomaNation and cannot turn away from her spiritual core, which is an alliance between the serpent and the woman, as you stated.
Perhaps when the carousel stops whirling men will be liberated from the impulse to kiss the judeo-gyno ring.
But as it stands now, even in this supposed post-Kirkian awakening or whatever the socials are going on about, there are very few men who pass the three essential questions. The W being one.
No, we are still in the bargaining phase. Negotiating with our captors while our only collateral, our posterity, is hypothecated over and over into the abyss of debt. Even as that collateral is liquidating now at a rate that is impossible to ignore.
Let me keep my pension/portfolio/sacred feminine journey for my daughters and beta draft horse sons in waiting and I will promise to keep appealing to the system and its fiat powers to right itself back to that glorious point in yesterday times when peak death cult progress and peak White industriousness were locked in that sweet embrace of materialism without the icky faggy stuff or Moslems making human pez dispensers out of wrong place wrong time urbanites or old farm implements with smart British accents ruining muh Netflix with heavy, calloused handed diversity.
Wherever in time that might be. It’s funny how we used to say “the 50’s” and the kids now say “the 90’s” but of course both are right and wrong for the same reasons. Such is the insidious nature of the death cult and its long march.
Evil exists.
Trump’s attempted assassinations weren’t the End Of The Beginning.
They should have been, and would have, in a sane society.
But we haven’t had anything close to a sane society since somewhere around the very early 1990s, at the most optimistic.
So Trump getting clipped in the ear by a bullet that would have turned his head into an exploding watermelon wasn’t that moment.
What was that moment, was Charlie Kirk’s martyrdom blasted out uncut across all known media and the internet in fountains of blood, in which the Leftardian hordes were only too happy to caper and frolic, in some bizarre form of Violence Tourette’s.
The reason that was the moment, was because with a realization like watching the Twin Towers come down on 9/11, it marked the moment millions of Normies realized that the Left would never stop with Trump, but that he would merely be the beginning of rivers of blood, mountains of skulls, and an ocean of tears, until they exterminated every one of their political enemies, just like in every other communist revolution in history.
And with that cold hard truth now utterly undeniable, the Right, including folks who’d rather try anything than have to step up to the plate, because they really, REALLY wanted to just be left alone, began cracking their knuckles and limbering up long-dormant muscle groups for what is going to have to come, to end things once and for all.
How long the Phony War lasts is an open question.
But end it will, and at that point, the range will be hot in both directions, and the only end is when there’s only one side left standing on the fields of battle. And the fight won’t be via memes and rhetorical struggles.
Anyone paying attention would be well-advised to make the most of the time remaining to prepare anything and everything that needs doing, before things devolve to Bosnia times Beirut. Like they will, and necessarily must. The Left plans to ride that cunning plan right into a smoking crater. Because they think they can win that.
They must be disabused of that notion by force or arms, and with the finality of the tomb.
Consequently, the endpoint will be something between Sun Tzu and canned sunshine.
Best effort now would be to make the most of the prep time you have left to you.
Time is short. And it is ending, likely one bullet at a time.
On a somewhat relevant note, a story set in post-breakup America, a story of loss and gain. If you read “Two Hard Days,” this is another story of Josh and Argos.
https://zaklog.substack.com/p/the-cost?r=2nmhek
Oh, and if you hadn’t seen it, my previous story with them (narratively later) is “Two Hard Days.”
https://zaklog.substack.com/p/two-hard-days?r=2nmhek
Wow
Look forward to it. I liked the first one.
Who would this CW be between? Feds control all the power, and they identify as a common tribe, red or blue. There isn’t going to be a convenient uprising somewhere else, or a voter revolt to remove the income tax, or whatever peoples’ fantasy is where they can continue as they’ve been doing but somehow getting a different result.
Become more resilient, make friends you can talk to about local solutions to local problems.
“Feds control all the power”
The J6 Panty Raid on the Capitol put “paid” to that nonsense, as if 200 BLM riots and a standoff at the Bundy Ranch hadn’t made the same point from coast to coast long before that. If that had been an actual insurrection, there would have been 400+ congressweasels and 200 Capitol cops swinging from lampposts before sunset that evening. What scares the crap out of those same congressweasels is the certain knowledge that if push comes to shove, they don’t run Bartertown, and never really did. The People do. The federal government exists, ultimately, at the pleasure of the citizenry of the nation. As has been the case for 250 years.
The minute most people withdraw even tacit and begrudging support, fedgov goes away like ice in your drink in July, and 99.999% of it will be like Saddam’s Army a week after we invaded: piles of uniforms and boots in parking lots, and a million former members trying to get home as quickly as possible in their t-shirts and underpants, and desperately trying to concoct a cover story to explain where they’ve worked the last 10-20 years, lest the New Boss decide their use of skin and oxygen on this continent is no longer required, because five minutes after they clean house in the Capitol, they’ll do the same thing on a Grand Tour of every other federal building in D.C., then return home for similar purgatory expeditions in every city with so much as a post office.
O frabjous day! Callou! Callay!
You are like tv. When the ebt goes down and people don’t have food, you can discuss local problems.
It would be uncivil war. And not tv bs. Only the strong, ruthless takers.
It starts between disaffected elites. There are plenty: Trump is one.
Perhaps Trump is all part of the show as well and both sides want normies gone. Just a thought and all sides are against you. Not a stretch to think Trump and his are just as bad as the left. Food for thought.
They are different factions. One hates us more than the other, the other wants to profit from us.
Dude, if strings are being pulled, what practical difference does it make to believe or say that it’s the ((( secret code ))) people? Will it change your preps? Will it make any difference in your planning to survive and thrive when you get thru what’s coming?
Could be Rothchilds, Templars, Illuminators, or little grey men. Could be all of them working together in a council of super puppeteers.
Does it matter AT ALL?
I know it’s distracting and tiring to the community to hear it all the time.
————-
WRT the ‘war’ in Ukraine. It’s a practice war. It won’t be the trigger. No one will see the trigger coming unless it’s a manufactured excuse (Gulf of Tonkin anyone?)
The bigger sides are using up obsolete weapons systems and working out what next gen conflict looks like. The networked warfighter. Drones. New weapons and sensor platforms. Small unit tactics for conscripts and volunteers. Can we solve the problem of overcrowded prisons and attack the enemy at the same time?
Lots of things are being tried. Already they moved to using fiber optic cables to control the drones after countermeasures were introduced. Now there are counters to the fiber as well.
New munitions are being built because the old ones can’t be maintained or serviced. The chips and components aren’t available any more. Might as well use the old ones up.
Ever wonder why you saw cop cars parked in areas antifa was rioting thru? “Hey, put some old cruisers out there, maybe they’ll get attacked and we can get new ones…”
———–
Instead of wasting time and energy blaming (((someone))), accept it as a given and move on.
Did you map the political signs in your neighbors’ yards? Have you TALKED with the neighbors to the left, right, and behind you? Do you have cams pointed in those directions to see what’s coming? Do you know where the critical infrastructure for your town and neighborhood is? How about how the power comes in?
Have you mapped the local distribution warehouses for CVS, Target, Home Depot, Walgreens, Kroger, etc?
Does your city have an online portal with mapping and GIS tools so you can download where all the sewers, lift stations, treatment plants, etc are? Have you used any other tools to see where the crimes are mostly committed, and then made decisions about those areas? Does your BOL route pass thru them?
Are you aware of gang activity in your area? Do you know what the tags look like? What colors they wear? Have you considered them in your planning?
Can you move around your area on foot or by bike? Do you know the pipeline right of ways, cleared paths for powerlines, railroad lines, canals, creeks, or other ways to move without using streets?
Do you know where the SCADA radios and monitoring stations are for your infrastructure? Flood level and water level sensors have radios and other useful stuff attached to them. So do school crossing warning lights for that matter. Cameras, solar panels, and batteries are everywhere, if you know where to look.
Do you know where your cable tv head ends are? They have batteries, natgas generators there, and they are widely distributed thru neighborhoods.
Did you map where the big lever switches are on the electrical distribution network that feeds your neighborhood or others? One padlock. That is all the protects that thing and hundreds if not thousands of people could lose power if it was messed with.

The elephants are dancing and the mice are rightly nervous. IT DOESN’T MATTER who is making them dance. Don’t be distracted or think that assigning blame is somehow a prep. Get your own ducks lined up.

I don’t think that they’ll be able to keep it under control. What will end up happening will be quite unexpected by the powers that be.
