“Computer, this is Captain James Kirk of the USS Enterprise. Begin 30-second countdown. Code zero-zero-zero-destruct-zero.” – Star Trek
When you kill the last Dracula clone? That’s the final Count down.
- Common violence. Organized violence is occurring monthly.
- Opposing sides develop governing/war structures. Just in case.
- Common violence that is generally deemed by governmental authorities as justified based on ideology.
- Open War.
June had (again) increased levels of violence over the norm, but it was down from last June when the George Floyd riots began the active operational phase of the Leftist Coup. Again, none of the violence that I could see originated from the Right. None.
I’m holding June at 9 out of 10. That’s still two minutes to midnight. Last month I repeated that “ July or August could take us to a 10” and the reason is becoming clear as hot weather and economic woes are showing up on the street.
I currently put the total at (this is my best approximation, since no one tracks the death toll from rebellion-related violence) hanging in at around 900 out of the 1,000 required for the international civil war definition.
As close as we are to the precipice of war, be careful. Things could change at any minute. 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 over 500 other people and get every single Wilder post delivered to your inbox, M-W-F at 7:30 Eastern, free of charge.
Extremist Content
It’s been a while since the person sworn in as President of the United States threatened his own people with violence. Here’s what Mr. Biden said recently:
“Those who say the blood of patriots, you know, and all the stuff about how we’re gonna have to move against the government, if you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons.”
I wrote about that here (The Wilder Response To Mr. Biden), but more on that later.
After some research, this isn’t the first time that Mr. Biden has said something similar, though last time he described committing mass murder of Americans using American troops he avoided mentioning nuclear weapons. He just stuck to Hellfire® missiles. I guess those are more humane, though I heard if I throw my shoes into hellfire, I could watch the soles burn.
I guess this might work. I hear Pakistan uses Sikh-heating missiles.
To be clear, if any of the people writing on the Right had mentioned using weapons of mass destruction against either the Left or FedGov I imagine they would have gotten a meeting with the FBI in a small hot room in a distant state and the chance to see if Ted Kaczynski has written anything recently.
Thanks, I’m John Wilder, and welcome to my Ted Talk®.
But Mr. Biden does it, it just makes the headlines for the afternoon. This is not only the single most extreme thing that any sitting president has ever said, at least in my recollection. The scary thing is the lack of reaction from the news media. Had Trump mentioned one-way helicopter flights for Antifa®?
Imagine the collective panties in a bunch.
I ain’t got time to bleed.
Extremism, though, is the problem. The Left has become unhinged in its quest to take over every element of life in the United States. About the only thing left are 100,000,000 or so people who reject Leftism. And all of those people have guns. So many guns. And they don’t want to sell them to the government – they couldn’t imagine selling them to organized crime.
I guess that makes us the extremists?
Violence And Censorship Update
The beatings and low-level constant riots in cities across the country continues. The level of violence we face today would have been considered off the scale in 2000. But today? They are what we call “another Saturday night in Portland.” How is everyone enjoying the new normal?
You want a civil war? This is how you get a civil war.
Censorship is the main story in the Violence and Censorship Update. The first story starts with:
Me.
Of the 1,569 some-odd days that this blog has been operational, it has gone down twice. The first was because of (as near as I can tell) a botched update of the WordPress® version software. It was down for just a few hours on a Saturday. The post that was up wasn’t anything more or less controversial than usual. It probably involved PEZ©.
Last week, however, I experienced an . . . unusual outage. It was while this post (The Wilder Response To Mr. Biden) was up and running. The entire site shut down just as one of the widest audiences that I’ve ever had was coming by to read that story. After hours of wrangling and two botched solutions, the blog was back up and running.
Who was it? I have a good friend who knows about such things, and he thought that it didn’t smell right. Rather than a big government conspiracy, it was, he thought, more likely to be an amateur who didn’t like the message. To be sure, the wheels of government are so large and we are all so tiny that any of us (any, up to and including Gates and Bezos) could be crushed by it and it wouldn’t even slow its spin.
So, a message? A coincidence? As people tell me, there are no coincidences. Regardless, I write.
But if you’re on Facebook®, please note that the following is no coincidence:
I’d love to meet Zuckerberg. He’s someone really is interested in my hobbies, political interests, job, spending habits, history, and friends.
Yup. Facebook™ is now actively checking the people you interact with, and warning you if they Facebook© doesn’t like their opinion. It is even offering you expert help.
Hurray! That’s just what I need, support from a global corporation on what to think about the unapproved media I consume. Thanks, guys!
I haven’t been on Facebook® in, well, a very long time. But if you’re one of the people still going there, be happy that they’ll tell you what to think.
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:
Up is more violent, and violence is down again in June. Is it really down, or are we just used to seeing it?
Political Instability:
Up is more unstable. Instability increased this month, as expected. As I predicted last month, instability is down right now. Unless there’s a crisis, I expect political instability to remain low until at least September.
Economic:
Inflation is finally beginning to hit this measure. Right now we’re in a trap: take measures to stop inflation, and you tank the economy. Take measures to keep the economy going, you increase inflation. Sounds like my first marriage.
Illegal Aliens:
This data is at record levels for every year I have data for. I think it’s plateaued because the bus won’t take any more people over. I guess Congress will authorize more money for busses? Or maybe, just maybe, the Border Patrol is just letting them go on by because they know that their actions won’t change a thing?
Demonizing America
There is a complete effort by the Left to demonize traditional American values. It starts with the flag:
If your basic idea of loving a country New York Times is to hate everything about it, you might want to rethink what loving a country means.
This particular article is by Sarah Maslin Nir. “Ms.” Nir, who from her online photos appears to be transgender, is the writer. “She” has had several other pieces of “journalism” published, where “she” has displayed a continual hate for the United States.
Sarah Maslin Nir comes into the bar. The bartender says, “Why the long face?”
It’s okay if “Ms.” Nir wants to use her journalistic platform to go after the traditional values of the United States every single time she writes. It has also become clear that the New York Times® will go after traditional values whenever they can. The stories that the newspapers publish aren’t things that happen by mistake like my conception, they’re a choice like Jeff Epstein’s death.
And that choice is to demonize everything about the United States. Another example? Shockingly, it’s from the New York Times™. Again. It seems like they’re always behind this. At what point can you declare a newspaper an enemy combatant?
To destroy a people without bloodshed, the first thing someone must do is destroy their connection to their past. To vilify that which was good. They even tried to vilify fireworks by pointing out the people with PTSD might be triggered. As if they didn’t know July 4 was coming?
When would you do this?
On the most favored holiday of what you want to destroy. For Americans, that would be July 4. To win a civil war without fighting, you’d demoralize a people so they had no will to fight back.
You’ll never convince a patriot that the Constitution was a bad idea. Sure, some of them think the bill of rights didn’t go far enough. But most people raised with traditional American values won’t be convinced by the 1619 Project© or any of the drivel I’ve posted above.
So why do they do it?
Remember, for Leftists, Orwell is a “How To” and not a cautionary tale.
To create division. To widen the gap. To demoralize. To destroy the people that made the United States great.
So, for a Leftist? Tuesday.

Ricky’s Zerohedge article had this bit in the US Civil War section:
“I think we’re not far off the Federal government using their power to cut funding in these states . When that happens there are two options available (after much back and forth and politicking):
1. Back off in order to continue receiving funding.
2. Tell the clowns to get knotted, which brings us to the inevitable next set of steps.
With their funding cut, the states will say, “Hold on, this is a two way street,” and subsequently refuse to send tax receipts to DC. And BOOM! We are into a civil war.”
For a bit of prospective, Georgia did this a decade ago over highway funds. GA paid more in gas funds than they received and just told the feds they would not mail them the checks. So the US backed off.
The War of Northern Agression was not over slavery, but rather control and taxes. The slavery label was similar to the “Troubles” in Ireland 20 yr ago. The conflict between Protestants and Catholics was not about religion. Catholic meant support for a free and united Ireland. Protestant meant support for continued British rule over N. Ireland because they were British plants from a couple of centuries earlier. The labels were misleading.
Any way, the war could start over the distribution of tax revenue and whether regionally important issues (border walls) are funded. 30 yr ago, California had a big push to sucede over not getting enough federal dollars back from their federal taxes. Of course firearm regulations will be a serious flashpoint. Xbriben has been trying to place hard-core anti-firearm guys in critical positions.
The Marxist in the federal gov might try to push things too far. They have a history of doing that.
They are ready to push now. That has *always* been their playbook.
Biden is really serving his purpose well, being a target and a distraction. No one thinks he is making any decisions other than which ice cream to get before the media fawns over him jamming the entire thing in his mouth. I really expected them to overplay their advantage but they have been more cautious and deliberate than usual.
The best thing is that they can give him the same crayons every morning and tell them he got a new box!
John – – Thanks to Ricky for all the excellent references. Quite a collection that sobers one to the approaching onslaught of commie inspired destruction.
They have a dead ideology that has never been productive and only raised the suffering of its victims, less the few elites and the ever dangerous bureaucrats. This is why they have to destroy all religions(they use cults like the Moslem death cult because of its ready made hatred of non-cultists). They cannot allow free thought or independent actions free of governing diktats….
IMHO the hot civil war will not start until the economy crashes and food becomes scarce. Your indices track useful points but do not consider the lack of foodstuffs available at reasonable expense to the average citizen. Not that your indices are off or inconsequential. They are not that by any stretch… My comment is that they are not as accurate a predictor of when the “boil over” will occur as an index that follows food availability.
I say this because most civil wars are started only when foods are restricted. And yes, there are some fought over religion (Bosnia and N. Ireland for example). However, in our diverse nation, I believe that the “boil over” will not happen absent food shortages.
Your mileage may differ….
Having followed your writings for 30 some months, I applauded your efforts and your consistent dedication to getting the truth displayed. Just wanted to make comments not cast aspersions.
How long did the Soviet Union last after leaving Afghanistan?
Just now reading this, John, as I’m not in the habit of checking WWW on days other than M – W – F. Anyway, I think that’s a surprisingly cheerful question … a “whitepill,” as I believe the kids (50 and under) say these days. Sure, the USSR came apart like a tissue-paper house in a hard rain, but I note that Russia is way better off for it. I hold out similar hopes for the collapse of the USSA. Hard times in the short term, followed by better times.
When it goes, it will go all at once, seemingly overnight.
This group made some noise a couple days ago.

I heard about that. Then it got very silent again.
Just read about a MI judge ruling that hurting a liberal’s fweewings is terrorism after a college student mistakenly sent a picture of a rifle to a classmate.
I like our odds in the coming hybrid civil/race WAR.
Only Americans fear anything to do with Wokegov as the rest of the world laughs its ass off and waits for the right time to attack.
Australian Skynews just had a report saying that the man with the nuke codes couldn’t even handle Google maps.
Remember the Long Marching fifth column of traitorious maggots want a Rwanda times Bosnia hell on earth for their master Sorosatan.
America is the land of the free and the home of the brave.

It’s coming. I wonder how many drugs are they giving him daily?
Inflation is going to introduce a new dynamic: something that Millennials and Gen-Z has never experienced before. It is going to be very stressful as they see the prices of basics continue to rise, more businesses fail (over what the shutdowns already crushed), all while their wages will be stagnant, or fall, as the federal funding of extra Covid unemployment benefits run out and people start looking for jobs.
Yup. As the prices of necessities skyrocket . . . things will get tense. I don’t sense most folks do well with discomfort.
I figured out the New York Times was a symbol of hate a long time ago.
Yup. Since (at least) the 1930s.
I live on the edge of blue hell and they’re going full ‘humiliation ritual’ now. There’s no way peace will hold. It probably shouldn’t.
Yup. But things can stay stupid longer than most people imagine.
Still holding out for two minutes till midnight eh? Dude – it’s already past midnight.
It’s close. Very, very close.
What the heck man, where are the bikinis, i was expecting bikini graphs, i don’t care if western civilization is swirling the crapper, i just want to see half to mostly naked girls. Is that to much to ask, i mean come on, you got me hooked into coming here with the bikinis, and then you give me the old bait and switch, or did u git in trouble for actual women in bikinis? 😀
Nope, didn’t get in trouble. It just seemed so . . . dark. I’ll cook up some economic graphs soon enough.
Lest we forget…
Indeed.
We operate a small organic teaching farm near the outskirts of Eugene, Oregon.
In addition to vegetables, we provide packaged chicken, pork, and goat to nearby markets.
.
Four Tuesdays ago, I returned home to several goofballs using drugs on my back-porch.
I asked them to leave the property.
They instantly went ‘chimp’.
They assaulted me.
The neighbor lady was using her telephone to video the assault while telephoning LawEnforcementOfficials.
The punks beat her and stole her telephone.
The punks destroyed thousands of dollars of our equipment.
.
They were organized, hit-and-gone in twenty seconds.
This was a planned rehearsed attack designed to put our farm — and the thirty people working here — out of business.
.
Although the punks were found, the prosecutor declined to prosecute.
The assaults, the property destruction, “…fails to meet the threshold…”
.
This is my Stage Nine on the chart.
I am living ‘Rwanda times Bosnia’.
.
Based on my experiences with goofballs around here, I have a terrible prediction — after the killing starts, it will go on a long time.
The punks have zero-zero-zero sense of impulse control.
“…fails to meet the threshold…”
That’s been echoing in my mind since I read it.
Not good. And, it’s intentional. They’re provoking a response.
