Too much fuel, not enough spark.” – Ford vs. Ferrari
This clock tells when the next Civil War will be. This clock is so accurate, the military keeps it in Afghanistan.
- 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.
Point 9., until this issue, used to be point 8. I’ve changed it out based on the idea that we’ve clearly passed point 8., but are not seeing the opposing structures required. I do not do this lightly, since this list was created after quite a bit of research.
It’s clear that the Right has no governing/war structures in place. Might someone be putting those in place? The Left thinks so, but I (and other readers) doubt it. By my observation, putting these structures in place does not take long, as I’ll write about below.
I’ll repeat this from the last Civil War Weather Report: The Right is being hunted, and punished for pushing back.
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 770 other people and get every single Wilder post delivered to your inbox, M-W-F at 7:30AM Eastern, free of charge.
The Spark
In research of Civil War over time, it appears that the conditions exist that start Civil Wars for some time before they turn into outright Civil War. Often, one group finally comes to the conclusion that they are out of power, will never be in power again, and are being treated unfairly, that feeling builds up. It’s waiting for a moment, a spark, that allows the emotional feeling to turn into action.
A recent example is Bud Light®. Bud Light’s™ recent ad campaign with a transexual person hit at just the wrong time. What’s the definition of the “wrong time”? After another transexual shot up a church school senselessly killing several people (and disappearing from the news in record time), people had enough. The killing was the last straw, after trans activists had worked to (among other things) set up transitioning children as young as toddlers, and remove pedophilia as something to be dealt with other than by fire and woodchipper.
People were done. They had no real way to protest as the Left came up with an unending number of ways to twist the sexuality of kids. Here was something, though, they could do, right now. Just don’t buy Bud Light©. That’s it.
The spark was simple – a narrative that had been pushed down people’s throats for a decade, on people who had no real way to push back as they were continually told they were wrong and evil if they didn’t want to jump into the child’s game of pretend where the G.I. Joes™ were really princess dolls at a tea party.
It’s not a big spark, but it’s one that should scare the Left. People are waking up, and questioning The Narrative. It’s not a big jump from there to the Left taking another step too far, and getting pushback. As I have said before, the most logical one in the United States is ownership of firearms – there are more guns in private hands than there are people in the United States, and if that’s pushed, I’m imagining that would be the spark. Remember, the Shot Heard ‘Round the World was fired on redcoats that were out to . . . take guns.
Violence and Censorship Update
The stories about why Tucker Carlson got fired are multiplying as time goes along. First? The Dominion lawsuit. Second? Describing Fox® executives using naughty words. Third? Some broad said he was sexist. Fourth? Robert Murdoch was scared of him. Fifth? The Ukrainians don’t like him. Sixth? Someone at Fox® had a case of the Mondays.
It’s irrelevant, really, because all of the people with the politically correct viewpoints (the Pentagon, the ADL©, the Soros family, AOC) all wanted him gone. Tucker provided one of the things that the Left can’t stand – someone to stand up to them. So? He’s gone. How much did they want Tucker gone? So far, FOX™ is down nearly a billion in market valuation.
So, they wanted him gone a lot.
Tucker’s already got a $100 million offer on the table, so, I think he’ll do fine.
Tucker was pretty big news, but there were some other events worth tracking as well. Being correctly labeled as “State Funded Media” NPR® and PBS© decided that they’d leave Twitter® because NPR™ falsely claimed that they like the truth and Elon proved that wasn’t the case.
JPMorgan® wants to take your things. Doing it through interest rates is too slow, so they just want to take the stuff.
A trial in Texas convicted a man for defending himself. Why? Because he was defending himself against Antifa®. Expect a pardon on that one.
The FBI thinks if you use the word “based” you’re an extremist. Don’t worry about keeping up with that yourself, they’ll track it for you.
Biden’s Misery Index
Let’s take a look to see how we’ve done this month . . . .
Yup, up again. Biden announced he was going to run for President. The only person that wants him to win is Jill. I think she has some parties planned, and the White House is good for that.
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 jumped up, ahead of schedule. May and June are generally bad months, we’ll see what happens in 2023.
Political Instability:
Up is more unstable, and it was up a bit.
Economic:
Economic numbers are back up, a tiny bit. The numbers look fairly unstable from month to month, which isn’t good.
Illegal Aliens:
I’d say the border is wide open, but we have no border. New York and Chicago are now irritated because they want these illegals to go back to Texas. Huh.
Two Nations, Two Worldviews
The United States is currently very polarized ideologically – a key fact in the tensions that may very well lead to Civil War. I wrote earlier in this Update about The Spark. The Spark mentioned above centered, at least partially, around children. That’s a powerful subject, and it is one that is fundamental at the civilizational level. No children? The civilization dies.
And yet, the Left is going all-in on gender ideology, reaching out to kids who would eat nothing but Cadbury Cream Eggs® and suggesting they are capable of making life altering decisions. In California, legislation has been suggested that would allow the state to take away any kid who feels that their gender choices haven’t been respected.
The United Nations jumped on this idea. Thankfully, the United Nations is little more than a knitting club, but they are absolutely in tune with The Narrative. Thankfully, someone spent the time and looked at exactly what words the New York Times® is attempting to put into The Narrative, and they showed up by frequency. Here they are:
There has been, and there is a continuing effort to propagandize Americans to accept The Narrative, and stories from the New York Times® are picked up worldwide. Here, you can see The Narrative, in its full glory, as the Times™ tries to shape the people it is supposed to inform.
It’s your mind, keep in mind what people are trying to sell, and make your own choices, and remember that together, we’re stronger and have more ability than anyone imagines.

John – – You said “ How much did they want Hunter gone? So far, FOX™ is down nearly a billion in market valuation.”
I think you meant to say Tucker, instead of Hunter.
Understandable….but should be corrected.
Fixed! Thank you very much!!
You may be undercounting the informal groups – neighborhood watch, block organizations, informal census of trustworthy (or not) neighbors. Part of prep is Awareness – and I think that’s an area that is growing,
Formal groups are a target for government action. Most people are wary of getting caught up in that.
Oh, the groups will form when they form. If they form?
I was thinking about alternative organizational structures last week. On the left I see antifa, BLM, and the cartels. Civil, social, and military. On the right I see memes. And nascent orgs busted up with leaders jailed.
It’s gonna have to be a movement of individuals taking secret action for a while, but what will finally arise? The existing “right” structures have been compromised for decades. Anything new is suspect. Anything really old is distasteful at best.
There’s no ‘winning’ unless there is a replacement of what is wrong and oppressive and we currently don’t even have a hint of that.

“It’s gonna have to be a movement of individuals taking secret action for a while…”

If anybody wanted war REPARATIONS is the answer. Cannon fodder out front. Gibmedat 40 million and a Maserati is going to be hard to walk back. Sounds like a plan to me.
200 million. Keep up with the times!
I’m fascinated by your CW2.0 issues. I harbor a sneaking suspicion that however it plays out, it will benothing remotely resembling CW1.0, although I do see one relatively low probability that looks very much like a nastier version of RW1.0 …
I.suspect that whatever happens, is going to happen before the next “election” especially with Zhou Bi Den at less than 40% popularity. I doubt the.Regime’s ability to steal the election at this rate, especially when Bi Den will probably be less than 30% popularity by next November, or the election is held in which case the Big Steal II would have to be so.over the top that even the corrupt media won’t be able to gas light the 2024 election as they did 2020 and 2022.
The Regime will either obstruct the next “election” if they don’t think they can win, because muh Democracy, or more.likely flagrantly steal it again to be able to have a false facade of legitimacy. The Obama Cabal was willing to flagrantly steal an election while they were out of power. To think that they won’t do so again when in power is ludicrous.
And if and when that happens, 75 million actual Trump voters will finally accept that, Jus Vote Harder, won’t work. And will never be in power again because our Republic is now their Democracy. The
I see this error all the time. The proper pronouncement for Zhou Bi Den is Zhou Bidet. Funk and Wagnells appreciates your attention in this matter. /s
There is no restraint, and won’t be any. I expect atrocity.
— Often, one group finally comes to the conclusion that they are out of power, will never be in power again, and are being treated unfairly, that feeling builds up. —
Power is the Left’s objective. Millions of us just want to be left alone. Of course, the sense that that has become forever impossible flips the switch from “Vote” to “Shoot BLEEP!ing Everybody” quite effectively.
Orville’s 1984 the operator’s manual of THE PARTY (no difference between the Repugs nor Demoncraps)
GROK THIS
“Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
― George Orwell, 1984
My prove me wrong table is over there, the old guy with a pot of coffee.
Yes, that’s it. The Right wants to be left alone, and they won’t. So, it will be about power, and restraining the state. Like it was before.

“Abracadabra. Shalakazaam. Bye bye baby…
It’s an under-appreciated noire masterpiece, and screenplay by Andrew Klavan.
Everyone has more power in their little fingers than most people effing know.
As the closing music used to say at D-land:
“Come on and live the magic!”
Yeah, I watched it the week after you mentioned it in a comment. Excellent, excellent movie. Caine at his best, McGovern at her cutest, Riegert at his smarmiest.
“According to Feeb, using terms such as “based” or “red pilled” are signs…”
So my interview on Red Pill Fiction Factory was something of a giveaway, I suppose.
Thanks for sharing that one! And, yeah, we might even be on the same list.
“Thankfully, the United Nations is little more than a knitting club…” Never underestimate women that are proficient with pointy sticks. Thanks to the TSA I’ve learned that the cord linking circular needles could be used as a garotte. Piano wire is too conspicuous anyway.
Hmm, you’re right. Is “Wine and cheese club” better?
No matter what the “spark” is our military and law enforcement apparatus will play a part in which way the wind blows, at least for a while. As much as it pains my heart to acknowledge, the military brass as well as those running our multiple intel agencies, hates real Americans and are actively seeking our demise. In most civil war scenarios, there will be a build up of tension and fighting until the military splinters, leaving it fractured with those who will continue to fight for the state or union staying, and those who side with the people abandoning their posts. A large majority, if not all of our upper ranks are commies, and who is to say how many soldiers that are currently serving will be loyal to the job, money, etc. instead of fighting for the Constitution. Most law enforcement in all big cities, both in blue and red states, is full of anti American, anti White Democrats who will certainly side with their commie overlords. Our best hope as I see it is to do what was done in 1776 (strange as it may sound). Everyone who is loyal to America should find their way to a rural area, train your sons and daughters on things that they will need in the future such as gardening, and having animals you can eat if you have to. Please start a food pantry if you haven’t already, with enough to last a few years being the ultimate goal. Train, train, train yourself and your older kids with firearms and their proficiency. Every rural community should establish its own militia, and meet regularly to practice (please do not advertise this on the internet or through texts). There is a reason the founding fathers said it was our right and a necessity for our continued freedom that we have well established militias. They are truly our last line of defense. Sadly, I feel that the time is drawing nearer to when real chaos is unleashed, and many difficult and harsh decisions and actions will need to be made.
It’s getting very, very close.
Hey John,
Another excellent article, as always! I think the “alternative governing and military structures are already being formed and refined: they’re just “on the down low”, as we used to say.
Those who would make such structures see what happened to the militia movement in the 90’s (infiltrated and subverted from within) and any number of nascent political movements such as Ron Paul’s “End the Fed” (subverted and co-opted into Paul Ryan’s Tea Party). As BCE might say, it’s all in the “Meatspace”, local-local-local baby. Nothing on the internet or broadcast media, just a bunch of like minded friends speculating…
As for that “spark” you’re looking for… well, as Mark Twain said, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” This turning I think we’re rhyming with 1776. There was an old documentary I saw in high school, had a teacher who showed it to us, blew my frickin’ mind at the time. It’s called “The Money Masters” – three and a half hours worth of gold.
You can watch the whole thing here: section on the American Revolution starts at 33:20.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDlnM481Gcg
Back then, when TPTB in England were deep in debt to the international bankers, they squeezed the colonies by passing an act that stopped the colonies from producing Colonial Scrip (debt-free fiat currency) and demanded payment of all taxes in gold and silver coins. Stripping the colonists of their money created a lot of unemployment and really pissed everyone off; Franklin said it was the prime reason for the war.
Sooo… what happens when the debt-and-interest-loaded USD no longer has the backing of petroleum (already happening, see Saudis cutting deals with the Russians, Chinese and Iranians) and spikes with hyperinflation? If the cash they’re paying you with doesn’t buy squat, people won’t stay at those jobs for long… and idle hands are the Devil’s workshop. If the shelves are bare in the grocery stores when that happens, or shortly after, and not restocked? I think the riots that will result will make the “2020 Summer of Love” look like a tantrum.
That will be all the justification TPTB need to institute crackdowns in the cities, coupled with a big promise to restore order and provide necessary resources. Where will they cast the blame? Well, if they’re smart, the rural communities will be putting up roadblocks and checkpoints to control refugees flowing out of the cities. Lord knows that something will go sideways and there will be blood, and of course it’ll be “those heartless rednecks” blamed for the lack of food… and the obvious targets for getting those needed resources.
Been thinking about the IRS’ new private army, 80K strong and probably going to be 2-3 times that in a year. If the currency is hyperinflated and worthless, they won’t be collecting taxes in paper money… more like seizing property. Thinking real estate and real goods will be the focus, especially physical precious metals and vital resources like fuel and food. Violence will be focused on those who resist and/or openly defy them.
Sadly ^^^^THIS^^^^ is reality.
The Gov.com will use propaganda to push the BLAME for all the Troubles on the Red areas.
I also expect they will arm and bus them into the countryside to GET THEIR FOOD back from the evil preppers.
Those we kill off defending ourselves both reduces the Gov.com’s problem children AND give them even more reason to stop on the “insurrection” and murderers.
Going to get UGLY. Do you have a realistic plan to protect your family during the American Rwanda Event?
It’ll be more than just buses, though I’m sure they’ll use buses as troop carriers between “safe” zones. I expect the pillagers to come in section-to-platoon strength per farm or small holdout, company strength at least for any small towns and other large targets.
Raiders possibly will be supported by Dot Mil, but my guess is they’ll probably be mostly busy elsewhere if China and the Russkies decide to take advantage of the chaos (and they will). Besides which, bitter, hateful Antifa types will be far more amenable to committing atrocities against rural folks.
Logistics would demand that the pillagers have trucks, anything from pickups to box trucks and flat beds: gotta have something to load their booty in and schlep it to their FOB’s. From there it’ll go by semi-trailers and rail back to the gutted-out cities, possibly boats or even barges if there are navigable waterways..
All of which can be interdicted. Sure, they might have an MRAP here and there, but for the most part, the convoys will be light vehicles, easily disabled by high-caliber fire or trapped in the right terrain by obstacles. If you want an alternative military structure to deal with, see US Constitution, Article I, Section 8:
“To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water…” That second part right there… “Letters of Marque & Reprisal”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_of_marque
Any section of the country which isn’t in the hands of the NWO-types that has a functioning governance structure left will be able via its legislative body to grant a Letter of Marque to any organized group that wishes to interdict the pillagers and retrieve their stolen goods and bring it home.
After all, it’s a time-honored American tradition: during the Revolutionary War, 800 US privateer vessels sank or captured 600 British ships. Nothing says it has to be done entirely on the sea. https://www.nps.gov/articles/privateers-in-the-american-revolution.htm
Think “LGOP”, but instead of “Little Groups of Paratroopers”, it’s “Little Groups of PRIVATEERS”. They will play absolute merry hob on the smooth and organized plundering of the heartland, scattering and vanishing into the environment after each counter-raid. Fighting them will be like trying to grab and punch fog.
Hmmm, how often it comes back to the bankers . . .
“Going to get UGLY. Do you have a realistic plan to protect your family during the American Rwanda Event?”
Have a plan, yes. Is it realistic, no.
I live and work in the DMZ between the Rurals and the Suburbs. This place is going to suck when the EBT cards stop working and the grocery stores run empty.
Lynn, I recommend getting a small piece of acreage (hopefully with a house) somewhere rural and secure near you (within a couple of hours of driving). You’ll need about an acre for a small family with intensive farming to be able to grow enough food for self-sufficiency.
An ideal place would be accessible but not on a main road or highway, set in defensible terrain, with well water, septic and enough sunlight from a south-facing perspective for enough solar panels to run said well and give you the light you need to grow the food you need to survive.
The trick is to get your fallback set up and be prepared to fall back to it within an hour of knowing it’s time to go. Bank holidays and widespread grid failures are big sign to leave immediately. As John keeps saying, “Avoid crowds. Get out of cities. Now. A year too soon is better than one day too late.” Very, very good advice.
I know it may seem like a big project to take on, but with any luck, you may have as much as a year and a half to get set: my guess is next Presidential election will be the trigger (either Trump will win or they’ll loot the treasury bare by then and leave some poor schmuck holding the bag when the system falls apart). Remember:
“The best time to plant a tree was twenty-five years ago. The second best time is now.”
