Civil War 2.0 Weather Report: Making The Call?

“The Babylon Project was our last, best hope for peace.  It failed.  But in the year of the Shadow War, it became something greater: our last, best hope for victory.  The year is 2260. The place: Babylon 5.” – Babylon 5

Midnight?

  1. Common violence. Organized violence is occurring monthly.
  2. Opposing sides develop governing/war structures. Just in case.
  3. Common violence that is generally deemed by governmental authorities as justified based on ideology.
  4. Open War.

I’ve bolded both 9. and 10.  That’s the lead story (below).

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 570 other people and get every single Wilder post delivered to your inbox, M-W-F at 7:30AM Eastern, free of charge.

Note:  Except for the first, all images in this post are “as found.”

Making The Call?

If you’ve read these for some time, I’ve been using the internationally accepted standard for declaring a civil war.  It’s one that academics used to make a description.  In that sense, it’s arbitrary, but it sets some standard.  Most importantly, it isn’t a standard I made up.  It exists outside of this report, and you can go and check it for yourself.  I want (as much as possible) to be factual when I say something about the emerging Civil War 2.0 as it is certainly the most consequential event that will occur during my lifetime.  So, as a starter, I adopted the international standard.

I believe that we have met that standard.

From that academic standpoint, the United States would be classified as a nation in a Civil War.  I’ll provide the reasoning:  since the George Floyd riots started, there has been epidemic violence in the nation.  I had been tracking that increase, using several sources of hot-spot political violence and tabulating them.  Data, as you could imagine, isn’t tabulated that way, so my methods were an estimate.

I tried to be conservative with it.  This isn’t a Civil War where Johnny Reb fights with Billy Yank on a battlefield under banners.  Nope.  It’s a more brutal version where it’s fought on the streets in one-on-one encounters, complete a corrupt District Attorney system that lets half of the players back on the street with no punishment.

One (very fair) criticism from Ricky (who graciously provides the Links) is that this is an extraordinary claim, so it should require extraordinary proof.  He suggested a (curated, my add) spreadsheet showing each victim by name, and linking to the details?  We could all easily agree about Ashli Babbitt and those killed in Kenosha, as well as dozens of others (mainly) killed by Antifa®.

That’s a very worthy idea, but not one I would be the best candidate to maintain.  Perhaps someone will pick up that idea.

What I do have are raw statistics that back up my attempt to quantify the current body count.  Here’s a graph, from Steve Sailer’s work (LINK).

The increase in murder deaths from 2019 to 2020 was nearly 5,000.  Extrapolate that into the first three-quarters of 2021?  You get over 8,000.  If only 1/8 of those deaths are politically related, we’re there at the international standard.  Again, I don’t have a list of 1,000 names.  For perspective, even those 1,000 are just a small fraction of the people that have died from either COVID or the “jab”, yet they are categorically different:  we are killing each other over politics.

A second set of great thoughts came from Eaton Rapids Joe (LINK).  He brought up two ideas:  the first is normalization.  The United States has a population of over three hundred million.  Most countries that have had civil wars are much, much smaller.  Rwanda had a population of only about 7,000,000 when they decided to kill off about 1,700,000 of each other.  To cross the 1,000 threshold (proportionally to population size) would require 43,000 dead.

That’s a good point.  He further went on to note that some cities of the United States have already crossed a proportionate threshold.  In a heat map, you’d see that most places are quite cold, but lots of Blue cities were clearly far beyond any reasonable threshold and are clearly in civil war already.

These are good points.

Because of that perspective, I can not say that we are fully at Open War, rather I can say that every element is in place.  I can say with reasonable certainty that we have crossed an important psychological threshold.  Whether we come back from the brink?

That’s one that time will tell.  As of this writing, I am only seeing signs of additional deterioration in the political landscape.  It’s getting worse daily.

Violence And Censorship Update

I think violence is pretty well covered up above.  Censorship, sadly, hasn’t ramped down, but rather increased.

Let’s start with YouTube®, which is the modern equivalent of the Ministry of Truth.  Who did they muzzle this month?

Probably the most important is a change in policy.  Now, any video that claims that “vaccines are ineffective or dangerous” will be banned.  Different opinions aren’t tolerated.  As much as I don’t agree that lies are good public policy, keep in mind that science doesn’t work that way.  Science works when free and open debate and inquiry are allowed to find the truth.  As we learn more, we discover that we didn’t understand the world quite as well as we thought.  Well, not on YouTube®.  Only thoughts approved by Ministry of Truth are allowed in 1984 2021.

This has a very significant impact on other YouTube™ channels.  Because they don’t know exactly where “the line” is they avoid the subject entirely.  As more people ditch mainstream media, it looks like alternatives have to be co-opted.  A case in point:

MiniTru, er, YouTube© also banned one of Ron Paul’s channels.  Why?  They won’t tell him.

But don’t worry!  The Fed.Gov folks are hard at work.  They’re monitoring your social media and ProtonMail® accounts.

Thankfully, they can still make sure our children are being properly educated:

And that we are not using bullying language:

And while murders are up by 30%, ClubFed® is hanging out at Right rallies in Washington, D.C. so that you and I can feel safe.  Big Benneton® is watching you.

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 our perception of violence is down in September, again.

Political Instability:

Up is more unstable, and it ticked up this month, mainly on inflation fears.

Economic:

Economic measures held steady, but I expect a huge drop in October if trends continue.  And, the Fed® decided to not show the bad news on something I’ve long predicted . . .

Illegal Aliens:

This data was at record levels last month, and only dropped slightly this month.  Perspective:  this rate is 4x the rate from any previous year in the last four.

Calling It Quits

Calls for divorce in the United States increased in September.  Don’t believe me?

This call is showing up in pretty much every aspect of life.  We have gone from a single nation that fought about the center to one where people on the Right feel that people on the Left are a danger.  Not someone they disagree with:  a danger.

If you disagree with someone, we can talk it out.  If I consider them a danger?  That means the time for talking is over.  And if both of these polls are correct, America is pretty well done talking.  Well, at least constructive talking:

And that’s just NASCAR®.  What about Texas?

What’s the biggest cause of divorces?  Cheating.  Has there been any of that?

Of course the Left has fought tooth and nail against looking at the most statistically improbable election in American history.  Why?  They cheated.  So, given that, pretty much everyone is done.  The Left, and the Right.

  1. I admire your restraint in not calling it sooner.
    Having been living under heavy skies for many years now, the family and I have become resigned to “unfortunate events” and sought to live as best we can on the slope of the farting volcano that has steadily spit rocks on us with the promise of boulders to come.
    2020 has been a year dedicated to firming up tribal affiliation – it really has been “us or them” for a while.
    What has transpired has been the battle space preparation, the period when one or both kids start saying stoopid chit to work up their courage and get the folks in the circle around them on the their side.
    Now, as many are being truly boxed in with real, in your face censorship of facts clearly visible to all in lieu of the ever more outrageous lies and tangible actions of dismissal with extreme prejudice, the small sharts will start escaping from multiple orifices (orifii?) at an increasing rate until real activity starts to take place in even the smallest places of our lives.
    Hope the necessary prayers have already been said, the beads put away and that whatever you have now is enough to bridge you and yours over the initial hump to whatever this is going to really look like going forward.
    At one point I would have said that I had grown to where I’d sign off with “peace and love” and meant it.
    Now I’ll leave you with courage and conviction.
    Most any that know anything real need to stay the course, do only what is necessary to the absolute hilt when needed and be prepared to clean the wounds that follow as best we can.
    God speed,
    Brian

    1. God speed to you, as well. I feel an a large amount of responsibility on this one, since I really am trying to be as honest as possible. I didn’t think I could hold back another month . . . .

  2. Your FED captcha made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that.

    Never, never never stop calling it like you see it, John.

  3. To all those collecting for the coming unpleasantness, I give this reminder:
    Tools only work when you use them.
    It’s a lot easier to break one strand of spaghetti than the whole box.

  4. At this point the violence in America, while skyrocketing, is mostly confined to a few zip codes and isn’t really impacting most of us. Yet. When it does it will be a different story but we are mostly too comfortable for things to really kick off yet. I thought we would see a super violent summer plus sweeping gun control but it didn’t happen. When fall rolls around and the “pandemic” suddenly gets worse again? Then we will see but the lack of major conflict has been unexpected.

    1. Modern Mayberry is horribly lopsided in all ways that are positive. There are no (real) bad guys here. I haven’t seen a mask in use in months.

      I expect (and hope I am right) that violence here will come only in a TEOTWAWKI scale event . . . other zip codes are already hell holes.

  5. Me: We’re NOT in a Civil War.

    Anyone else: “How do you know?

    Me: Is anyone shooting back…?
    There’s your answer.
    QED

    When the range goes hot in both directions, you can make a case.

    At this point, it’s all still just ramp-up and Phony War.

    1. This is my personal opinion, too.

      Let’s talk about some numbers. At the start of the Civil War in 1861 there was roughly 31.5 million Americans, 27 million white and 4.5 million black – roughly equal to the current 2021 population of Texas. During 1861-1865, there were roughly 500 deaths per day, so the Civil War raw homicide rate per year averaged (500*365) /31.5 million or around 580 per 100,000 per year. The “Floyd Effect” homicide level for 2020 was 6.5 per 100,000. So the First Civil War was 580/6.5 = almost 90 times more violent than our current ENTIRE homicide rate. IF only 1/8 of our current homicides are “politically related” that makes our current “Second Civil War” 90*8 = 720 times less violent than the First Civil War. At this point in time, late 2021.

      Let’s keep going, the FBI just released the crime statistics for 2020 just last week at https://crime-data-explorer.fr.cloud.gov/pages/home . There were around 17.8K total homicides in the US last year. Several ways to split this number up.

      By race: 9.9K black (13% of US population), 7K white (76% of population), under 1K other races (the remaining 11% of population). Since the current total US population is 330 million, that works out to homicides per 100,000 of a particular race to be around 23 for blacks, and around 3 for whites and others. So the black homicide rate is about 8 times higher than for all other Americans, and black homicides accounts for over half (actually 9.9/17.8 = 56%) of all total homicides.

      For what it’s worth, other rule-of-thumb statistics put out in previous years by the FBI indicate that around 90% of black homicides have a black perpetrator and 85% of white homicides have a white perpetrator. This implies around 9.9K * 0.10 + 7K * 0.15 = 2K homicides per year are interracial.

      Another fun fact – a quarter of homicides don’t involve a firearm. Kinda hard to think of those as CW casualties…

      So what’s my point? I don’t really have one, I’m just rolling the numbers around in my mouth to see how they taste. Not sure I see a clear way to fit 1/8 of all homicides as being “politically related”. I personally think the actual ratio is a lot lower. But who knows how long that will be true at this rate.

      One parting, er, shot – for comparison with the “Floyd Effect” homicide rate of 6.5 per 100,000 in 2020, the corresponding suicide rate per 100,000 was 15.0, more than double the homicide rate. The white rate (18.6) was more than double the black rate (7.2).

      If there’s truly real a war going on at the present time, the argument could be made that it is being fought in the minds of white men.

      1. Ack. FBI statistics are for ***2020***, not 2022. They don’t have a time machine yet. I hope.

        Where’s that edit button, John?

        1. In Fed statistics, “Hispanic” is an ethnicity like “Italian-American”, not a distinct race. 56% of Americans are “non-Hispanic whites”. Add in the white Hispanics, and 76% of Americans are white. IMHO, using phrases like “POC” and “brown” to refer to Hispanics is a divisive Marxist psyop propaganda technique to plant subconscious assumptions about the relative proportions of race in America – a technique of divide and conquer, primarily to discourage non-Hispanic whites and encourage blacks. Both groups of whom need to find some way to overcome our current madness and escape this Thunderdome we all find ourselves trapped in, preferably before we hear the sound of chain saws. Can’t say I’m hopeful.

    2. Indeed. And while we might say “us” vs “them”, how could you tell? Not like there are uniforms on the “us” side, or even an organization. Even when the first return shots are fired, they’ll almost certainly be courtesy of a false flag op in some flake org. They will be noisy data used to justify further actions by TPTB.

      I don’t think there will ever be a clean start signal to CWII, if for no other reason than TPTB want to make sure there isn’t one. There will be gradual encroachment, goading of radical individuals into violent action, “public safety” operations, and probably some engineered outages of the internet, PSTN, and grid to justify issuing of user IDs for telecoms access – for your own safety, of course. All traffic will then be tracked or blocked as needed, all news will be filtered even more. Things like these blogs will disappear because writing them will be hate speech. The fire under the pot will be gradually turned up until all the frogs are dead. Or in the digital gulag – same thing.

      Until there is the equivalent to Sinn Féin and the IRA, a political arm and a paramilitary arm, there is no possibility of CWII. And TPTB will make sure there never will be.

      1. They are working to kill free speech now – which means they think they have won.

        Yet we stand. Expect your Sinn Féin soon enough . . .

        1. Do tell. That would be a great Christmas present, but if Santa doesn’t deliver, the window of opportunity is going to close as the system tightens down. It takes time to for a new movement to organize, and who knows what chicanery is in the $3.5T bill? We already know it includes complete bank surveillance. I fear a new Sinn Féin will be strangled in its crib before it can even say its first words.

    3. A good point that I was going to address but (long post) – I was going to use Kristallnacht as the parallel.

      But, there is a firing back. I think (with zero evidence) the ratio is about 95:5, but it’s there. The District Attorneys are only prosecuting people on the Right, and the press is supressing coverage that might embolden the RIght.

  6. That poll you talk about is worth looking at. Details at the source, the Center for Politics at UVA.
    https://centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/articles/new-initiative-explores-deep-persistent-divides-between-biden-and-trump-voters/

    It’s showing the disgust with the situation in the country extends to both Biden voters and Trump voters almost equally (those are the only categories they list). For example they take the statement “I have come to view elected officials from the [OPPOSITION PARTY] party as presenting a clear and present danger to American democracy”

    The answers are presented as “somewhat agree / strongly agree”
    Biden voters are 80% / 51% while Trump voters are 84% / 57%.

    Without even knowing their declared margin of error, they sound like they both could be the same numbers. (82 +/- 2, 54 +/-3) . Something around 3% error is pretty common in polls. Out of a listing of nine questions, the answers are more similar across Biden vs Trump voters than the two groups being very different, but it’s not a big margin, 5:4 (no number crunching done, just eyeballing them).

    Your bar graph shows it, but the Atlantic and Mail screen capture jpegs imply it’s only conservatives that feel this way.

    There are more areas where both parties are pretty similar in outlook than than that. A majority of Trump voters somewhat agreed with several big government measures, “investing in” pre-K education (59%) or rural broadband (74%) and national paid family leave (52%). It gets worse. 82% of Trump voters said we should have a stronger president, which implies getting rid of constitutional balance of powers. That got 62% of Biden voters. 44% of Trump vs 46% of Biden voters say it would be better if the president could do more without having to deal with congress or the courts. That’s another example of both groups being almost identical.

    1. Polls are crap, with reproduceability lower than with scientific “research”, large swaths of answers derived from unethical “push polling”, and a goodly amount of the rest purely ginned up out of the pollsters’ hindquarters.

      Astrology and phrenology have more respectability and scientific substance, frankly.

      I award any poll a 0 accuracy and 0 reliability on the Source Intel matrix, and the fact that most are either bought and paid for by political entities, or the product of an unholy alliance between academia >spitdouble spit< isn't helping their credibility a whit either.

      YMMV

    2. Table 2 has the money shot. “I have come to view elected officials [from OPP Party] as a clear and present danger…”

      They needed to also ask “”I have come to view elected officials [from SAME Party] as a clear and present danger…”

    3. As I commented at your place, you have a great analysis of this one, though American Caesar or American Balkans are strongly supported by the data.

  7. What the heck – I’ll make a black swan prediction. If the Chinese button factory that makes 80% of the world’s buttons gets caught up in the rolling blackouts it directly impacts all the clothing manufacturers and retailers. If the average Joe suddenly can’t buy a shirt (or jeans) at Walmart it’ll trigger awareness that the entire logistical chain is hosed. Odd trigger but these are strange days. Happy to be wrong but that seems to be a”best case” trigger compared with some of the other options.

    1. I think that (at some level) that the Chinese are determining where the weak points are in our systems.

  8. John – – Here is a short (15 min) video discussing how close we are to Civil War.
    https://ncrenegade.com/the-usas-new-civil-war/

    While not as specific as your four graphs indicate, almost everyone believes that it will cook-off soon, maybe by Winter. Some fear an economic meltdown will be the trigger, others think it will be a combination of factors. Who know ??

    But, regardless…… it is coming. And each of us will have to choose sides.

    1. We are ready to go without the economic meltdown. Wait until the inertia gives way to friction . . . which could be as soon as this month.

  9. One of the best CW sources is the book “Civil War 2″ by Thomas Chittum. He served in 3 different Civil Wars (Vietnam, Rhodesia, Croatia) so he knows first-hand what to look for. The book was written in the early-mid 90s yet it has fairly accurately predicted much of what is happening. A few snippets of his checklist:


    Let’s summarize some of the key factors which will measure our march toward Civil War II. Concerned individuals are invited to watch for their development. The events of this checklist are in no particular order of importance or sequence of occurrence. Some have already occurred to some degree, but should be monitored for further growth.

    Item 1: If the racial tattooing of ethnic classifications on ID cards and other documents persists, we’ll know the countdown clock is ticking. Every time you see a blank for your ethnic group on a form, think Civil War II.

    Item 2: If illegal aliens are allowed to vote, even in local elections, it will be another unmistakable signal that American citizenship, and therefore America itself, is finished. If the millions of illegal aliens in America are granted amnesty and get the vote, it will mean open immigration and a giant step towards Civil War II.

    Item 3: The abolition of the right to bear arms. This must be done to reduce the military potential of those assigned to the bottom tier of the emerging multiethnic American Empire. Those in higher tiers will retain their guns – and thereby their military resources – through devices such as the Nation of Islam’s security company and street gangs. Imperial conversion cannot be completed without breaking the military potential of the white working class, the historic key to military dominance of North America.

    Item 7: Watch for Washington D.C. to increasingly resemble the capital of some banana republic under siege by revolutionaries and mobs. Specifically, watch for riots in Washington D.C. to grow in scope until they menace the White House and the Congress. Ultimately, federal military units will have to be permanently stationed there to protect our
    government from its own citizens.

    Item 8: Resegregation: Watch for Africans and other minorities demanding, and often getting, separate facilities for themselves, another clear sign that they’re continuing to reject co-option.

    Item 9: Watch for further replacement of individual rights by group rights, group rights based on ethnic group. Empires employ this method to enlist certain favored groups in suppressing the others, and racist affirmative action is a classic example of this replacement of our rights as individuals by a race-based system of penalties and special privileges. Then the powers that be have only to pay off the leaders of these favored groups, a relatively easy task. Every time you hear the racist euphemism affirmative action, think Civil War II.

    Item 10: Watch for non-governmental organizations acquiring military power. As we are increasingly losing our common identity as Americans, people are increasingly turning to alternate sources of psychological fulfillment and the increasingly necessary military protection that such organizations are extending. The Waco cult, street gangs, the Nation of Islam, and white militias are all partly manifestations of this trend. Some of these groups will be militarily crushed by the government, while others will be tolerated or even subsidized as their assigned tier in the multiethnic American Empire dictates.
    The recent tragedy in Waco was an example of the crush, and the granting of 20 million dollars in security guard contracts by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to the Nation of Islam (The New York Post, March 24,1995. Ed Koch column in Editorial) is an example of the subsidize side of this policy.

    Item 11: Watch for real political power to continue to shift from our elected officials to the courts, and thus away from the American people.

    Item 12: Watch for more instances of real political power flowing from American institutions to international bodies, thus again flowing away from American citizens.

    Item 16: Watch for the emergence of “no-go” areas for the police in our cities, areas abandoned by the police and left to the control of street gangs. The existence of these areas will be officially denied of course, and the police will occasionally mount media oriented forays into them, but it will be pure theater.

    Item 17: Watch for a so-called slave tax refund or some similar vehicle that will automatically subsidize all blacks for life.

    Item 20: Watch for the spread of walled suburbs, euphemistically labeled as gated communities.

    Item 22: Watch for an increasing percentage of minorities in our military, the use of foreigners in our military, the use of UN troops on our soil, or even the establishment of an American Foreign Legion.

    Item 24: Watch for more restrictions on freedom of speech by the government and the establishment media. This will drive non-establishment people underground and radicalize them.

    Item 25: Watch for police to increasingly abandon their traditional uniforms for ones that resemble military and secret police uniforms in their dark color or camouflage, military helmets, opaque face shields, and absence of name tags. These costumes are meant to intimidate, as are the tactics of using paid perjurers (known as informers). paid liars (known as expert witnesses), wiretaps, boots kicking in doors, agent provocateurs, attack dogs, tanks, gas, and entrapment followed by assassination by sniper.

    Item 28: Watch for the collapse of the US dollar as the world’s premier currency.

    Item 30: Watch for signs that the global military equation and American dominance in it are being challenged… Also, watch for the breakup of NATO, or the emergence of some military arrangement in Europe that in any way displaces NATO.

    Item 36: Watch for a certain picture. We’ve all seen this picture countless times before, a picture from Beirut, Budapest, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Yugoslavia, Somalia – a burnt-out tank, perhaps the charred corpse of a crewman protruding through a hatch, and jubilant rebels posing atop the tank waving assault rifles and a flag. [Z: blacks grabbing crotch on top of a burned-out cop car?] Someday we shall see this picture in our newspapers yet again, and this time taken on American soil. The tank, the dead crewman, and rebels will all be Americans, All will be American except the flag, which will be a Mexican, Aztlan, New Africa, or Confederate flag. When we see this picture, it will be too late. Civil War II will be upon us. But there’s another picture we’ll see first, again one we’ve all seen before from some unfortunate land. But this time it will be taken right here in the US of A – a picture of a dirty, ragged child foraging for food in a garbage dump. You shutter bugs out there, note that the first to get this picture published in a magazine or newspaper will probably get a Pulitzer Prize

    Remember that he was writing in the 90s.

    1. The war was started years ago. The first casualties were those not willing to follow the mandates of a tyrannical government, refused to play by all the new rules, and had their lives destroyed by the government bureaucracies with the power of unreasonable regulations. It was successful, until the internet removed the iron grip of the propaganda allowed by the media. Unable to completely stop the flow of information, the Covid “pandemic” became the necessary tool to control the population, and the “vaccine” will probably kill more than any typical war.

      We cannot vote, since they that count really don’t care what we wish, the newest media reports state the feds will investigate those that dissent the progressive view of their school boards, and it doesn’t take much logic to realize the same agency is actively involved in insurrection. This is the successful tool to destroy the ability of citizens to assemble for redress of their grievances, since those willing for peaceful solutions are never completely sure if government “protesters” will incite violence to destroy those wanting to show their support for liberty.

      We are completely dependent on a form of communication completely controlled by the government. When there is enough in the government willing to take part in the subjugation of citizens, removing this form of communication will leave any effort to return the U.S. to a constitutional republic toothless and vulnerable.

      Yes, we’re at war, and foreign government are drooling over their share of the spoils. When you consider how one of the most powerful generals in the military is allowed to stay in their position after committing treason, the invasion at the southern border is happening unchecked, and access to public facilities is completely at the whim of bureaucrats, it doesn’t take much to realize how dire things have become.

    2. Did you see the review I did on that one? I also exchanged some emails with him.

      Very clear vision of decades.

      1. John, I think you should revisit your review of two years ago. I just read Mr. Chittum’s book, and I read your review, and there are some things that probably should be reassessed. In particular I think the ethnic gang situation should not be underestimated. Until I read his book I hadn’t even considered them as a significant part of the environment.

        Currently there are about 1.5 million gang members in the US, mostly organized along ethnic lines, all self supporting and armed. The Hispanic gangs are often cartel connected and backed. The FBI estimates that 1-2% of the armed forces are gang members. Gang members in the big Metropolitan Statistical Areas often outnumber the LEO by over 2:1.

        There are only about 700,000 LEO in the US at the state and local level. There are another 120,000 at the Federal level who are mostly armed for security purposes, not peace keeping.

        There are only about 75,000 total infantry in the Army, Marines, Reserves, and NG. The rest are logistics, maintenance, operations, etc.

        Looking at your highlighted list in your review, I didn’t see the CHAZ, or the attacks on police stations from the Antifa riots of 2020, of course. Things that happened afterwards. But certainly events meeting criteria Mr. Chittum called out as having specific significance.

        Your column on Civil War has been looking at this along a Left / Right split, but I think 1.5 million ruthless ethnic gang members would certainly be a wild card, particularly if the cartels back the Hispanic gangs with money and more weapons from across the border. If things go kinetic, they may go spectacularly sideways in directions even Mr. Chittum was unable to foresee.

        1. I did gloss over that, more or less on purpose. What becomes apparent will become apparent, and likely soon enough.

  10. It has to be burned down by any means necessary in order to build it back better.
    Comrade kommissar Beijing Big Guy spearheaded the long Dark Winter plan twenty years ago.
    911 was the beginning and now they are wrapping up which is why it’s called Agenda 21.
    The police have already checked out and barely even write tickets anymore.
    I passed several cars doing 80 in a 30 zone with Johnny Donut sitting in the church parking lot and he didn’t even budge, shots are ringing out more often and unless someone is wounded, they don’t even respond.
    Karens of both sexes are huffy puffy with foot stomping and certainly not ready for every man for himself law of the jungle.
    We are on our own and some scores have to be settled because this fading banana republic just isn’t big enough for all the factions.

  11. Never been more happy to live in the woods than right now.

    My only question, how long do you have to cook human meat to avoid catching kuru?

  12. “The future will be about finding a way to reduce the population…Of course, we will not be able to execute people or build camps.
    We get rid of them by making them believe it is for their own good…We will find or cause something, a pandemic targeting certain people, a real economic crisis or not, a virus affecting the old or the elderly, it doesn’t matter, the weak and fearful will succumb to it.
    The stupid will believe in it and ask to be treated.
    We will have taken care of having panned the treatment, a treatment that will be the solution.
    The selection of idiots will therefore be done by itself: they will go to the slaughterhouse alone.”

    Jacques Attali, 1981.

  13. “This call is showing up in pretty much every aspect of life. We have gone from a single nation that fought about the center to one where people on the Right feel that people on the Left are a danger. Not someone they disagree with: a danger”.

    Remember it is the media creating this thought process as they have always done. Bread and circuses. Because they think they are smarter than the people. I believe it is to keep us from uniting because that would scare the SHIT out of them as the thought of it already does.

    Like all catastrophes in our history, government created or natural this catastrophe will unite Americans in the greatest country in the history of mankind whether it be Christian Revival or Revolution doesn’t matter a lot of lives will end.

  14. a)
    Eugene, Oregon.
    Starting three weeks ago, a couple-three streets over from us, the bumblebrats ‘downtown’ [mandatory raised middle finger] are developing fifteen acres of swamp into ‘homeless encampments’.
    .
    In three weeks, we heard extended exchanges of gunfire only a few times.
    .
    Perfesser Wilder and his ‘October (or December) collapse’ is several months later than our experience.

    .
    b)
    Severing entire states based on BOLCHEVICS arbitrary assignments of political bias is nincompoopery.
    Outside a few loudspeakers in downtown areas [mandatory raised middle finger], Oregon people are overwhelmingly anti-BOLCHEVICS.
    .
    The goofballs downtown [mandatory raised middle finger] are going to be exterminated within hours of the starting shot.
    .
    I had acquaintances on Eugene Police Force… but they all quit starting about April 2021.
    .
    Fifteen years ago, Eugene Police Force quit responding to non-emergency vehicle theft or burglary calls… victims are required to complete paperwork at TheCopShop.
    Next, I anticipate — prophesied in the movie HEAVY METAL — Eugene Police Force to require a credit-card deposit prior to responding to a 911 emergency call for help.
