“Get a new president.” – Escape from New York
Biden was in three states today: confusion, disorientation, and bewilderment.
- 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.
I’ve kept Clock O’Doom at the same location. For now. 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 680 other people and get every single Wilder post delivered to your inbox, M-W-F at 7:30AM Eastern, free of charge.
In Soviet Russia, Sanctions Work On You
I’m sure the sanctions sounded good on paper. After all, when the Russians took Crimea in 2014, the sanctions worked. Russia was as vulnerable as a chocolate cake locked in a room with Amy Schumer.
Since the Russians cut off the natural gas to Europe, the Germans can now really Netflix™ and chill.
This time, however, the sanctions aren’t working quite as expected. Certainly, there are shortages of things in Russia, but Russia’s single biggest import is cell phones, and none of those are coming from the United States. Some of the things that the Russians don’t have access to are:
- Netflix®
- ApplePay™
- PornHub©
- Coca-Cola® and
- Facebook©.
Frankly, if all of those things disappeared forever in my life, I wouldn’t notice them at all. If they disappeared forever? Absolutely none of those things are required for life. Heck, I could make the point that none of them are even required for happiness, but then again I get enjoyment out of camping.
Now we know why we don’t have flying cars: Facebook®.
There are certainly impacts on the people in Russia, but remember, the summary of Russian history, “and then things got worse.” People in Russia already have low expectations, so nobody is surprised when they go to the store and find that the only thing to eat is yet more cabbage.
In the United States, however, the sanctions have already had a significant impact. Prices for things are going up, in some cases 20%. Per week. The local restaurants all took the time to print new menus (in one case for the first time in five years) due to all of the price increases. Gasoline is becoming so expensive that I think people are thinking about straining their teenager’s combs so they can use all of that oil.
Loans to buy pizza, loans to fill a truck with gasoline. How kind – I don’t think I can ever repay you!
The sanctions are already having an immediate impact in the United States. Economic difficulty will lead to social difficulty. We are used to going to the store and expecting to see products lined up and waiting for us. What happens when we have to line up and wait for the products?
I’m thinking that a few scathing Facebook™ posts won’t really help.
Violence And Censorship Update
YouTube®
One item that I missed talking about last month was YouTube®. One of the things that the people who curate The Narrative hate is that there are ways for “little people” to get the Truth out. When people find that outlet, and when people start sharing that news, what can YouTube© do?
They even censored Dracula – a Count suspended.
Well, they can enact a new policy. In this case, they limit views of accounts with less than 1,000 subscribers. They actively suppress citizen-journalists. Why? So they can control the news. The days of a viral YouTube™ video are dead. Unless, of course, it’s approved content.
DuckDuckGo™
DuckDuckGo™ had a reputation of not suppressing politically incorrect websites. I even ran a check and DuckDuckGo© suppressed this website less than Google™. Yay! I converted all of my search bars to DuckDuckGo®. Looks like they finally caved, and now will suppress search results to hide places that just don’t fit with their approval.
This meme has been approved by DuckDuckGo™.
Russian News
RT™ is a Russian news service that has been kicked off of YouTube® and the app to watch it on your cell phone is now no longer available on Apple™ or whatever the Google™ app store is called. Why? It’s being censored. Now, I do understand that RT© is absolutely Russian propaganda, but that still means it likely has more truth to it the average CNN™ broadcast. So, what are the Russians saying that is so dangerous that billionaire corporations and European governments will do whatever they can so you can’t hear it?
I guess they’re worried they’ll be Putin us on?
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 flat. March isn’t (usually) a big month for violence, so that’s to be expected. I would expect the next little bit to remain calm as well, perhaps turning back up in May or June.
Political Instability:
Up is more unstable, but instability was flat in March. I don’t expect a big change this next month, but the Dems will be desperate to do something before November. Perhaps dumping Biden (see below).
Economic:
The drop in economic confidence was, as predicted, short-term. It dropped like a rock this month, and will (my bet) be even worse next month.
Illegal Aliens:
This data was at record levels for this time of year. All-time record levels. Again.
Joe Has Lost His Support
And those were the good things they had to say about him.
It has always puzzled me how someone so disliked, so uncharismatic as Biden could have gotten the Democratic nomination. Certainly, the election was stolen, but why install Biden? Perhaps the idea is that he was a puppet and could be controlled? Perhaps he was thought to be so weak that he could be ignored?
Thankfully, it’s a picture book.
I don’t have a really good idea. And his choice of Kamala Harris was mystifying: he chose someone who personally attacked him during the primaries. Additionally, she had such weak support that she was one of the first Democrats to drop out.
But now, the official newspaper of the CIA and Amazon™, the Washington Post©, has confirmed what everyone on the Right knew back in October of 2020. The Hunter Biden laptop is real. Despite the FBI “losing” the original laptop, the data remains. And, now the major newspapers are all over the story.
Why? There is only one reason – Joe has reached his expiration date.
You know it’s bad when the crack-smoking and underage hookers are the least damaging part of the hard drive contents.
Thus, the gaffes. They’re letting him speak, and reporting on the nonsense that comes out of his mouth, finally. The amazingly low I.Q. of Kamala Harris has likewise been put on display. The Powers That Be have decided that Joe has no more value to them than an empty McDonald’s© Hot Mustard Sauce™ packet. The revelations on the Biden laptop are being brought out in a slow drip, so it does the most damage.
They are going to abandon Biden.
I’d imagine whatever videotape they have of Kamala Harris will be shared with her and she’ll quietly decline the opportunity to become Kneepads-in-Chief.
You know that when you’ve lost the Late Night Funny Joke Men, they’re coming for you.
Who they’re clearing the deck for is to me at least, a mystery. The Left knows it will get pasted at the mid-term elections if current conditions continue.
The wise choice would be to move toward the Center. I’m betting they move toward the radical side of the Left.

The genius class running our government have just killed the Petrodollar thanks to the sanctions imposed on Russia. Way to go dumbasses!
If you have not been stocking up on essentials (food, medicines, water purification systems, precious metals, etc.) you will be screwed in the near future. Tough times are coming or as we used to say in my flying days “BRACE FOR IMPACT!”
Agreed. Petrodollar was a great deal for the US. Now . . . evaporating.
The sanctions aren’t working? I was assured by top men with blogs that Russia is on the ropes. Top. Men.
And just today they full court pressed the sanctions. Look out below. I was in the local Co-op today for some tubers and the guy in front of me bought all they had. There were lines out the door. Joe Sixpack is getting the message. Good luck to all.
Indeed!
Top.
Men.
And the gas is still flowing to West Europe, at least, it was still flowing yesterday.
They are paying in Rubles using 3rd parties to get around the sanctions.
So Officially they’re NOT PAYING in Rubles. I NOTICED the Ruble exchange rate is pretty high. How long will they keep paying for America’s sanctions?
How many trillions of US dollars can we dump into Europe to buy their loyalty?
Gotcha. I had heard that it was shut down, but that’s incorrect. Wonder about it now that Gazprom’s German assets have been taken by the state. The last time Germany grabbed Russia’s stuff it got a bit rough.
All Putin needs to do is not lose for a few weeks and Europe finds out how stupid they are playing on America’s side as their Russian fueled power plants shutdown.
Our TOP MEN only managed to REALLY PISS OFF the Russian Mothers and Supercharge their support for Putin. Cancel Mother Russia? CANCEL THIS is the mood in Russia.
NATO neutered, US Dollar reduced in world trade, Democrats scrambling to dump kneepads and Sock Puppet. Tell me again TOP BLOGGERS how America’s winning as gasoline keeps rising in price and EVERYTHING costs more and CONgress (spelling intentional) trys to dump MOAR INTO EBT cards to prevent “MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS” from burning up the cities.
Dead Russian soldiers WE THE PEOPLE IN AMERICA will pay Russian citizens for the actions of our leaders.
Plant potatoes, cabbage and beans. FOOD and Energy is going to be extremely expensive.
Yup, plant food. And compost. Fertilizer isn’t going to be cheap.
John, it’s not “abandon Biden”, it’s “abrandon Biden”.
BTW, on his 3/31 Bitchute vid, Clif High said that there will be something big happening around 5/19-27 that will last 7 days. After an aside, he refernced a movie from 1964 – “Seven Days In May”. Perhaps this time the Prez gets the boot.
Hahaha! Been a while since I listened to Clif. On Bitchute, eh?
Clif is always interesting, but not right all the time. The late Jordan Maxwell is also intriguing.
I need to back into Maxwell. Like you said, Clif is interesting.
John – – You said, “And his choice of Kamala Harris was mystifying: he chose someone who personally attacked him during the primaries.”
Xao BuyDem didn’t choose KamelHo, WoeBama did, just like he chose Xao……because he knew they were both inept and would be easy to control.
The Anti-Christ Junior, Valerie Jarrett, must be very busy directing the “Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight” (Psst: title of a comedic movie made in 1960’s about inept Mafia types – – one for you to watch)
Things will all get much worse before any of it gets better….
Obama was back in the White House today – saw a clip. It was like Joe wasn’t even in the room, how they ignored him . . .
Reading and retention is a construct of the white male patriarchy.
All kidding aside, the sanctions are designed to hurt what is left of the FUSA and its rump vassals as part of the Great Reset Leap Forward.
Russia stands to make an extra $321 billion annual now that they are backed by gold instead of a printing press and the natural gas and oil exports brings in about $400 million a day.
Now that the COV-LARP is on the back burner until the midterms, Ukraine on the membrane is all the rage.
Mockingbird Bolsheviks are all in on genocide over some graves discovered in a war zone and some hyper ventilating about Katyn massacre part two by Zelensky ballwashers.
Comrade Zelensky is very busy hobnobbing and jet setting instead of saving the indispensable 51st state.
None of it possible without the terminal Peak Stupidity.
Civil War might happen when the Sack-N-Save doesn’t even have mean tweets and the EBT cards are dry but the banksters still have plenty of bigger printing presses and the average obedience muzzle virtue signal dullard will chalk it up to the new normal.
I’ve been wondering if this isn’t a part of the Great Reset. Have to reign in the US . . . or what’s left of it . . .
Rein, stirrups, bridle.
Reign, royalty, guillotine.
Nice. I like it.
Hi John,
Maybe you should start a pool on when we will hit the #10 mark? I’ll start. I’ll say August. That could be a little early if the grocery stores still have enough food to keep people fed but I had to pick a month, right? I don’t even want to think about next winter.
Hunger and economy will take us to 10 in a month. A hot month is generally worse. August seems a good bet.

Excellent, excellent article.
We’ll be okay so long as the supply of clown noses, wigs, and oversize novelty shoes holds out. We might have to settle for colors other than red, though.
I hadn’t heard about the new YouTube policy on limiting views of people with under 1000 subscribers. I view that as one of the most draconian censorship attempts yet, because its aim is to marginalize all views but the mainstream ones. It also brings to mind a good point that should be a part of one’s preparedness–the ability to stay informed.
Most folks that embrace the concept of preparedness know the importance of Community, knowing your neighbors, and networking with like-minded folks. But if you want to stay informed on the larger situation, you will need to know how to find that information, and the fiddling with Search engines, etc., are going to increasingly hamper your ability to do that unless you already know where to look.
To limit your dependence on Search for finding things out, I suggest having a comprehensive list of your preferred sources for such stuff. Set yourself up an RSS feed so you can stay up to date and be able to participate in your preferred websites without depending on a gatekeeper.
willem, I agree. It limits the biggest attribute of the Internet – free information.
