A civil war is defined as a war between citizens of the same country.
A cold war is defined as a state of political hostility between countries characterized by threats, propaganda, and other measures short of open warfare.
Is the following a valid definition?
A cold civil war is defined as a state of political hostility between citizens of the same country characterized by threats, propaganda, and other measures short of open warfare.
If we accept the above definition, then our country is definitely in a cold civil war. How we got to this point is debatable but I believe the end goal is defined by the Cloward-Piven Strategy:
Another way to state the end goal: the collapse of the Republic in order to initiate a Socialist/Communist government where the people are placed in bondage in a supposed Utopia. This sounds like the platform of every Democrat running for President in 2020.
Wars do not end until one side wins. At some point the cold civil war will go hot. The first question to ask yourself is how do you plan to cope with a war outside your front door? If you do not believe events are escalating, ask yourself if you would have thought that our country would be in a cold civil war at this time last year.
It is not about importing slave labor: it is about diluting the voter pool until the electoral process is irrelevant. Then again, it may already be at that point.
Hurry, hurry, hurry! Step right up to the greatest show on Earth! See the odd, the unusual, and the bizarre! The freaks, the geeks, and nature’s mistakes are all inside, all alive, and can walk, talk, and crawl on their bellies like reptiles! And they all promise to throw money at you!
“It is interesting to hear certain kinds of people insist that the citizen cannot fight the government. This would have been news to the men of Lexington and Concord, as well as the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan. The citizen most certainly can fight the government, and usually wins when he tries. Organized national armies are useful primarily for fighting against other organized national armies. When they try to fight against the people, they find themselves at a very serious disadvantage. If you will just look around at the state of the world today, you will see that the guerillero has the upper hand. Irregulars usually defeat regulars, providing they have the will. Such fighting is horrible to contemplate, but will continue to dominate brute strength.” – Col. Jeff Cooper
When one discusses the real reason for the Second Amendment – the right of citizens to defend themselves against a potentially tyrannical government – inevitably someone points out the stark difference in firepower between a guerilla uprising in the United States and the United States government itself.
For the purposes of this article, consider what a domestic American terrorist or freedom fighter (after all, the label is in the eye of the beholder) organization based on the militia movementwould look like in open revolt against the United States government. In the spirit of levity, we’ll call them the “Hillbilly Viet Cong.” They would most likely find their largest numbers in Appalachia, but don’t discount their power in the American Redoubt, or the more sparsely populated areas of the American Southwest, including rural Texas.
Here we have tens of thousands of Americans armed to the teeth with combat experience, deep family ties to both the police and the military, extensive knowledge of the local geography, and, in many cases, survivalist training. Even where they are not trained, militant and active, they enjoy broad support among those who own a lot of guns and grow a lot of food.
Could the Hillbilly Viet Cong take down the USG? Maybe, maybe not. But it’s difficult to imagine that the USG could take them down.
Indeed, even with a number of nasty little toys on the side of the federal government, we live in an age of a technologically levelled playing field. This is true even when it comes to instruments of warfare. While the USG has nuclear weapons, it’s worth remembering that a pound of C4 strapped to a cheap and readily available commercial-grade drone is going to break a lot of dishes.
This sort of guerilla insurgency has a name: It’s called fourth-generational warfare (4GW), and you might be surprised to learn that you already live in this world.
Some citizens, including “Oregon Three Percenters,” were planning a protest. True to form, gun owners who will not comply with disarmament edicts are being portrayed as “anti-government extremists.” That’s despite the fact that they are the ones calling for rights abusers and infringers to obey the Constitution and observe the entire Bill of Rights.
Making it known that you will not go gentle into that good night scares totalitarian wannabes. Good.

Folks, this has to stop.
All of it.
Right damn now.
There’s an election coming in a bit less than a year and a half. Primaries will start up in earnest shortly. The process must be believed to be clean by both sides.
If it’s not that fateful Wednesday in November of 2020 half the nation is going to wake up convinced they lost because the other side cheated. The other half will believe they won despite the other side cheating.
It doesn’t matter who wins and who doesn’t next year, in short.
What matters is that the American people had better believe, almost to an individual, that the process was fair and there was no cheating. That falls not just on voting matters directly but on the attempts by the media, whether old or new, to skew results, to steer people and to play psychological games with them whether through some “AI” or via in-person interference.
You have weeks, maybe a couple of months, before the window slams shut on this opportunity. Beyond that point all you’re doing is packing powder into a tinderbox with a lit fuse.
This is flat-out, without question, the most-dangerous admission I’ve ever seen and a very high-risk predicate for outright dirty civil war within the next 18 months. It only takes 0.1% of the American Population to decide they’d had enough of this crap and are willing to spend their life. If that happens you suddenly have three hundred thousand people committed to destruction who are utterly convinced that they are staring down tyranny and are willing to do whatever they can to stop it. They will be uncoordinated, you have no way to know who they are before they act, and once they do you can only sentence someone to death for a murder once; the facts, whether you like it or not, is that all the rest are “free, and always will be.”
You really ought to take stock and figure out how to survive a political, economic and social apocalypse — like right now.
It’s easy to be “positive” when the markets are near all-time highs — and they are. When unemployment is near all-time lows — and it is. When it appears that politics is essentially all noise, because none of it is reflecting back into the economy as a whole.
You would be making a grave mistake to do so.
If people really did believe what they say to any material degree, on either side, Civil War would have already happened.
One example of the political insanity: Guns.
New Zealand, for instance. After Christchurch they passed a brand new turn in your guns law to much fanfare and applause from the left in the United States. Then the media attention disappeared. Roughly 500 people have turned in their guns; best estimates are that there are roughly 1.5 million such weapons in private hands. It’s similar in New York which also passed such a ban and registration requirement; compliance with that law has been an effective zero.
So where’s Cuomo who claims to support this garbage? Hiding under his desk as the wet-crap coward and hypocrite that he is. If he personally went to try and get those guns I wouldn’t take odds on that working out very well — and he knows it. The cops know the odds are good they’d be shot too which is why they haven’t and won’t go get the guns and everyone involved knows damn well what’s at risk they try it. How many cops .vs. over one million such weapons? How many of the people who have them will answer “Hell No!”? How many does it need to be? Not fun questions and not fun answers either.
How about California? Zero compliance as a statistical matter as well: estimates are 3%. Connecticut? Same deal. Zero compliance and zero enforcement. Gee, I wonder why?
Where’s the media on this? Silent, of course. Gee, I wonder why?
These people also know that not everyone is stupid and in fact there are plenty of well-trained combat veterans who were taught guerrilla warfare tactics by our own government and then set upon some foreign land to go practice them! You really want to play with those guys if you get them that mad? Many of them believe the words in the Constitution still mean something. After all, they did volunteer to do things that can and often do kill people in the name of our country.
There’s no way to know who will do that and who won’t but out of millions of possible people who may choose to do it there’s also no chance in Hell of interdicting any material percentage of said individuals in advance.
Again this is how Civil Wars start and once they start they’re a bitch to stop because exactly nobody on either side is going to “forgive and forget” that their daughter, son, wife or husband was shot dead or their house was burned to the ground with their family inside while they were out trying to go get the guns, or that the same thing happened to the victims of one of the raids by the cops trying to take the guns!
Most of the time such conflicts don’t stop until either the people get tired of death or everyone on one side or the other is dead.
I’m taking the bet that by the end of next year things go sideways — at least economically and in the markets, and quite possibly in the worst sort of way imaginable.
Nobody in their right mind advocates or wishes for such an outcome but if you’re not concerned about the possibility of it happening in the current political climate you need to have your head examined.
