“Only a cynical man would call what these people have “lives,” Wayne. Crime, despair, this is not how man was supposed to live. The League of Shadows has been a check against human corruption for thousands of years. We sacked Rome, loaded trade ships with plague rats, burned London to the ground. Every time a civilization reaches the pinnacle of its decadence, we return to restore the balance.” – Batman Begins
“If I were American, I’d vote Trump. But I’m an illegal alien, So I’m voting Biden.”
- 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.

This is a moving situation, and things are changing quickly. The 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 800 other people and get every single Wilder post delivered to your inbox, M-W-F at 7:30AM Eastern, free of charge.
Watch The Bugs Scatter
When I was a kid growing up near Wilder Mountain, we’d often go hiking during the summers. Whenever we’d stop, I’d do kid things, one of which was picking up a rock. Why?
To see what was on the other side of it, silly.
Whenever I’d pick one up and see a batch of bugs, the one thing they’d do is run and hide. They were, I suppose, fine under the rock, or maybe out at night, but the light of day scared them and they would run so they could start hiding.
Biden rhymes with hidin’ so that makes sense. As the Congressional review of Biden Shenanigans continues to show up more and more smoking guns, the pattern remains the same: get Trump.
June 7: FBI releases the FBI form where it’s alleged by an informant that the Bidens took a $10 million bribe.
June 8: Jack smit indicts Trump for having similar sorts of documents that every president has retained.
July 26: Hunter goes to court and gets the sweetheart deal that gave him, essentially, blanket immunity pulled by a judge who decided not to rubber-stamp the thing.
July 27: Jack Smith adds more charges to Trump on the documents thing.
July 31: Hunter’s former business partner testifies that Joe was on more than 20 calls with Hunter’s clients, and that Burisma pressured Joe to use his power to get the Ukrainian prosecutor fired.
August 1: Jack Smith indicts Trump again. This time? For speaking on January 6.
I’m thinking the more dirt that comes out on Hunter, the more dirt they’ll have to come up with on Trump, up to and including trying him as a witch under some obscure 1670 statute from Ye Olde Commonwealth of Virginia for “flying in a most terrifying way” in his jet.
The Bidens have (allegedly) created a crime family that works without any sort of (to this point) review. It is, at this point, established fact that the Bidens used the full force of the “intelligence community” including the FBI and the CIA to help Joe get elected by suppressing the Hunter laptop story, and controlling the items showing up in social media.
Congress has done something moderately useful for once: they’ve shown us that Washington, D.C. is exactly as corrupt as we always thought it was. And now we have proof.
Violence and Censorship Update
For whatever reason, CNN® decided that people shouldn’t go see the new movie, Sound of Freedom. That’s odd, because the movie is mainly about child trafficking. Why would the Left be in favor of child trafficking? Guess that’s just a mystery.
The need to scrub history of everything, well, historical has gone into overdrive. Washington and Lee decided that they could no longer have (spins wheel) the headstone of a horse that, apparently, owned slaves and was the cause of the Civil War. Now that the horse has been erased from history and censored, I’m sure that the Left is done and will stop now.
A recent Pew® poll (LINK) showed that 55% of Americans think that the government should restrict speech. Which Americans? The Left, and the speech is whatever they disagree with, which is called, “false”.
Just before his wife told Justin to take a hike, he took time to blame the Right in the United States because “Canadian” Muslims are against LGBTQ curriculum in schools. Guess we won another one, guys.
Bankman-Fraud (how did they not see that coming?) has just had Biden’s DOJ drop tons of felonies. Odd since Ukrainians took our tax dollars, gave them to Bankman-Fraud, and then he gave millions to Democrats for elections. Nothing to see here.
And a reminder, looking into your bank account is patriotic, looking into the money we ship to Ukraine is treason.
And, to call something racist should no longer require proof, say people who are definitely not racist against whites.
Finally, Leftists who create propaganda for the Left are needing money because not enough people are going to see the Leftist propaganda. Expect to see Hollywood here soon enough.
Biden’s Misery Index
Let’s take a look to see how we’ve done this month . . . .
Yup, up again, but not as steep. But people aren’t getting fries with that, anymore.
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 is down – I was expecting more during a long, hot summer. Perhaps August, or perhaps the endemic violence of the cities doesn’t even register anymore?
Political Instability:
Up is more unstable, and it was down a bit.
Economic:
Economic numbers are swinging back down. The numbers look fairly unstable from month to month, which isn’t good, but the stock market popped up in July, regardless if the cities look like a dystopian science fiction predication.
Illegal Aliens:
The border numbers are down, and I’m a bit surprised, since the infiltration continues. Suppressed numbers?
The End of an Age
Tim Pool, podcaster, called his summary for July, 2023 on August 1:
I think he’s right. The full power of the DOJ has been weaponized against half, but only half, of the citizens of the country. Laws have been passed in state after state to allow irregularities in voting that Enron® wishes were allowed in accounting.
There are active purges of people with classical values and beliefs from the military and even from the corporate world as weird, Leftist struggle sessions are required for employees and soldiers. Failure to enthusiastically take part results in firings.
Another sign of the end of an age is when a billionaire spends $171,000,000 of his own money to become governor of Illinois and then, in 2023, signs a bill into law that allows illegal immigrants to . . . go home? No. Become police officers.
Yes. We live in a nation where we have foreign mercenaries who are here illegally who now have the responsibility to enforce the law. I don’t even thing Rome fell to such a low.
The Roman Republic, however, did fall to the point where they started using the power of the state to put politicians in prison for purely political reasons. The outcome of that was the destruction of the Republic and then the Caesars.

What is really cheerful to contemplate: we are just in the early stages of the collapse. Most of us are doing OK right now but the really ugly stuff is just around the corner.
It is. And I really worry about the atrocities that I think we’ll see.
No Civil War? Nonense. T-storms in ATL yesterday PM, Hartsfield shut down. Supposed to fly @ 504PM, flew at 730, got off the tarmac at 1230AM. Zoo Central.
Did find a cab & room. And a flight out at 420 today. But, T-storms start at 4PM…
Yup, that weather will creep up on you.
“The Roman Republic, however, did fall to the point where they started using the power of the state to put politicians in prison for purely political reasons. The outcome of that was the destruction of the Republic and then the Caesars.”
Roman citizens didn’t possess millions of AR-15s, and billions of rounds of ammunition for them.
Julius and Augustus are looking at a much different outcome the second time around.
Not by Aesop though.Just before the going gets tough Aesop will invoke Aliyah and be on a plane outta here.
And you’re speaking fluently from your fourth point of contact.

But thanks for shrieking “Joooooooooos!” without actually shrieking “Joooooooooos!”
It’s always instructive to know where lunacy is coming from.
Especially when it wears a pointed white hood.
Remember, the people were all on board with Julius.
“Remember, the people were all on board with Julius.”
CORRECT, and why the “I gotta an AR” might be a Walter Mitty thing.
Fact check: No proof Goebbels said: ‘Let me control the media and I will turn any nation into a herd of pigs’
FACT CHECK BY THE MEDIA, need I a sarc tag here?
Who owns the Media, who can you not criticize. Figure out who owns the bulk of the banks?
Try shooting yourself out of NO FOOD, No Credit, No Money, NO money and so on.
THAT’s the reason for the Fed E-dollar, soon enough there will be a serious campaign against “Dirty-often counterfeited CASH”. All to seal up the electronic gulag.
You need trusted friends to establish a lifestyle outside the banking system.
BUT, YOU are all Individuals, (reply of the mob) We are all INDIVIDUALS (Life of Brian reference).
John, I love to see your take on the life of Brian 🙂
Michael,
One can always count on you to non-sequitur into a glorious lancer charge at a windmill entirely of your own imagination, to prove the point of dog whistles only you can hear.
BTW, you’re going to get that entire “no food, no credit, no money” thing from the exact government those ARs will be aimed at, as their express intention.
So perhaps shoot a back azimuth from that reality, and get back to us on why “no one needs an AR-15“, which was the gist of your entire response distilled down.
And do let us know how that position has worked out for people on the ‘net, starting perhaps with Jim Zumbo.
Or better yet, shock the world, and try not responding to everything I post with superfluous gainsaying, and try making an independent point of your own with no reference to me or what I’ve posted whatsoever.
For the first time in the History of the Internet.
There’s always a first time.
You could use a new schtick besides “No it isn’t!”.
Monty Python skewered that in 1972, probably before you were born.
As usual Aesop to the Rescue(tm).
Taking a careful look around, aside from the usual blowhards, SO FAR, it’s “All Quiet on the American Front” unless you count the DAILY BEATINGS our Republic is getting from the other side.
Walter Mitty is waiting for the “Right Time” forever it seems.
Point out examples of counteroffensive, my table is over there with the old medic and a pot of coffee.
Wake me up Aesop when your band of merry men(tm) go “Save America” from our southern boarders again. What Prez did you “talk to” to get that fence up again? Was a rather nice Rancatore Story, wasn’t it?
“Every man always has handy a dozen glib little reasons why he is right not to sacrifice himself.”

I’m not the “Brave Marine” with a blog so spare me the usual “You First comments”.
Protect your family and trusted friends, they are worth more than gold on the days of sorrows.
Maybe, Michael, everyone’s sound asleep. But you.
Or maybe no one thinks the lemon is worth the squeeze. At least not just yet.
So, if they either all wake up, or it becomes “Now“, praytell, what will they use then, besides those AR-15s, the utility of which you so firmly disdain?
Harsh language?
A good taunting, followed by farting in government’s general direction?
Let us know how that works out.
We didn’t speak to any president, Michael.
We shot video ourselves, and circulated it until it ended up on CNN time after time, sometimes same-day.
After about the tenth time of him assuring America that “the border is secure” when we had contradictory evidence on coast-to-coast TV in prime time, it was POTUS who did the talking after that, quite an earful by all accounts, and suddenly the Corps of Engineers found time to put up 10 miles of fence line that can’t be penetrated to this day, five miles in both directions from the epicenter of where we’d filmed, over and over. I’m sure that was wild coincidence, and the regional CBP director a local CG of the CoE just showed up as a courtesy.
Mirabile dictu!
Pity no one else took the time to pound the message home for POTUS so vexingly, huh?
They were probably all “waiting for George to do it”, sitting in their rocker, sipping coffee.
Having already been there and done that, long before now, neither I nor a half-dozen or so non-Walter Mitty types, who spent literally thousands of hours of our spare time as fully rucked up as anyone in Iraq or A-stan at the time, at the border, in winter snow and summer heat, need make no excuses for “getting it done” in our sector.
And it bears noting that we not only twisted the tail of a Republicant POTUS, we chewed the ears of half a dozen Republicant congressweasels, who never voted a dime for border fencing or actual border security until they were out of power and in the minority. We travelled to neighboring states and tried to show other groups how to get it done, and we spoke at multiple informational meetings for every civic group that would listen to us from central CA south.
And yet we could never find more than a handful of people who’d even show up consistently.
If we’d had but a hundred, instead of six, we could have shut down the entire California-Mexico border from San Ysidro to Yuma, 24/7/365, at will, and indefinitely.
1000 people that committed from Brownsville to San Diego could shut it down from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf Coast.
So from where I’m sitting, I and the guys I was with more than did our part, and literally put our own asses on the line doing it.
There’s an entire valley full of residents now that doesn’t have 100,000 illegals a year sneaking through their back yards anymore, for nearly eighteen years.
Meanwhile, people that never did anything watch as they walk right through the gates at ports of entry by the hundreds of thousands.
So it’s the other 299,999,994 of you that have got some ‘splainin’ to do.
We’ve already gone first. So, no doubt, have some few others. The rest of the lambs are trying like hell to avoid showing up ever, for anything, let alone second or third.
And there you still sit, wondering why no one else will step forward to do your work.
Quite the poser there.
Back in the day, a Marine landing force commander was briefing the troops on the tough fighting
they’d face on one of many amphibious landings.
“Marines, you’re going to have to fight like hell! The enemy has us outnumbered five to one!”
Hours later, he was surprised to see a Marine calmly sitting in a shellhole, pack dropped, helmet
off, enjoying a K-ration he’d heated over a cathole campfire.
“What the hell are you doing taking a chow break, Marine!” he yelled, red with rage.
“Well, Colonel sir, I got my five.”
Best wishes with waiting until they come to you, and yours.
I hear they’re a problem all the way to Maine and Minnesota these days.
I travelled about a thousand miles a week for three years back and forth to the actual border because I didn’t want to wait until they were on my block.
But hey, you do you.
Tell us how that’s working out for ya.
You know he has a wife . . . Incontinentia.
LOL your Bad, John, Bad and I’ve over here chuckling…
Well thank you for your service, Aesop, back around the time of GW Bush (Republican President and building southern fence) or somewhere in the 2001-2009 timeframe. You had about 6 stalwart souls dressed up like Afghanistan by your Rancatore Story. As I assume (please correct if in error) you didn’t get a paycheck doing this honorable defense of our southern border you could only put in a few weekends or perhaps a few weeks of vacation yearly in this effort with the 7.62X51 you mentioned so superior to stopping “coyote trucks” in other postings.
I’ll cut and paste here from your story ”

140 some odd miles shut down by a Hundred Volunteers, Aesop? Impressive.
So, in your boots on the ground opinion was it your fearsome shooting skills against “coyote trucks” a few weekends OR the Videos and Political Efforts to FORCE a Wall being built that did the most benefit for
(Cut and Paste here)

Good work getting almost 10 miles of the 140 some odd miles of the Mexican California boarder secured. Far better than most of us. Are you sure the coyote trucks didn’t go around it like the French Maginot Line to deliver to your saved valley those illegal farm workers (most of them back then) UNLIKE the Military aged multi-national males arrive for the past few years, eh?
BTW for the record I am glad that you and your fellow warriors never got shot up doing your duty.
Ides of March time frame should be about right.
2024 is gonna be a helluva ride.

The scary part? This comment was auto-moderated and I had to manually approve it.
“White Privilege Alert…Sam Bankman-Fraud…”
Tell me that was used ironically.
C’mon, with a name like Bankman-Fraud they had to see that coming.
Distraction continues to be writ large, the population size of authors and believers is minutiae that’s why they continue to scream louder. Their fear knows no bounds but they are scared
They are. It’s like the agitation is out to distract everyone from how crappy it’s gotten and how awful our leaders are.
