I fear that there is a looming civil war on the horizon. It is not yet inevitable, but all true American patriots must be prepared for the coming battle. And the costs in blood will be heavy. This war will not be fought like the American Revolution or the Civil War of 1861-65, where disciplined armies observed the laws of war and respected civilian lives.This war will be waged by far-left radicals and their deep-state puppet masters. For them, civilian casualties and massacres will not be moral evils, but merely part and parcel of their larger plan to “reconstruct” America. Their objective is simple: overthrow our constitutional order, destroy our

The only question the author did not address is just what the h-e-double hockey sticks he is doing in Russia. Unless he is an agent for the CIA, I am not interested in anything he has to say. An American? I think not.

Extreme and unlikely, but not as extreme and unlikely as it used to be.
Buy guns and ammo.

Regardless of where he lives, it is a powerful scenario he offered. Are we not seeing the beginnings of it now?
People being under house arrest for refusing signing quarantine papers, prisons opened for more BLM warriors, Death and destruction in big cities. Homeowners charged with felonies defending themselves against a hostile mob?
I'd say the author knows what he wrote about.

He doesn’t describe the war, only the end result. Am I going to have to shoot my neighbor? Will there be gun battles in the streets? What side will the police be on? These are some of the critical questions not addressed.

Remember what Jefferson wrote in 1787 "And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

# 2 for what? We will never use them.
Taking down America is like boiling a frog. The Nazis have been hard at it for DECADES with hardly a squeak and almost no resistance.
50 years ago, even 30 years ago what we are seeing now would have been unimaginable. We have been desensitized and will swallow anything because we are tolerant and heaven forbid we hurt someone's feelings with logic or common sense.

There will be no Civil War. Foreign communists didn't infiltrate, purchase politicians, and agitate just to sit back when we are at our most vulnerable.

If anything like that happened to catch Trump and Christian conservatives "off guard," according to the war gamed plan, the Obamas, the Clintons, and the rest of the protected traitors will immediately be dead ... Jim.

Government now exists to perpetuate and protect government. We have given it full legal authority and control of our lives, and it will now exercise that power to ensure its continued existence and growth.
We have achieved Skynet. But it needs our tax dollars to live, so it won't just flatout kill us.

Look how fast the current destabilization of America has happened. Is a second American civil war likely? Normally, I would say it is more likely now than it was before. Global forces have combined to form a joint assault on America. But, in order to have a civil war, two groups of people who hate each other and openly express their hate for each other with violence is required. Look around. Only antifa and blm are assaulting whoever they wish. Who is assaulting antifa and blm? No one. As long as this is the case, a coup 'etat is much more likely. Then the confiscation of guns and completion of the takeover of America will be completed and we then get sent to our re-education camps. Seems like a stretch? Not really.

This author living in Eastern Europe does give him insight, so questioning where he is from or lives should't skew your opinion. More importantly, this could happen here. We were witness to a soft coup with the Russian Hoax allegations and the Steele Dossier that was funded directly from Democrats, then the BS impeachment trial for something that Biden acutally did with Ukraine. When these efforts proved unsuccessful, they have intensified efforts to limit President Trump's powerful campaign speeches and blame him for the uptick in COVID, like the protests had nothing to do with it, and our lying eyes didn't see thousands of BLM protesters standing shoulder to shoulder with their Marxist chanting.... They call him "Dark and Devisive" to paint the picture when he gives an absolutley powerful speech of hope at Mt. Rushmore. They threaten to Dox and harm effective pundits like Tucker Carlson. We have even have one Democrat ignoramus like Eric Swawell theaten to nuke the population, and the truth is he probably meant it. These evil people would probably push for gun control then re-education camps. You are foolish if you think they don't One final point, do you think the people of Russia, China, Vietnam, Venezuela, Communist Poland, Hungary, Nazi Germany and all these other countries realized they were about to have their systems upheaved? Probably not, and the surprise probably stung them to their core. The Never Trumpers on here need to wake up. Liberals and Leftist will never like you, nor will they see your points. Look how they treated GWB during his presidency. Look how they treated McCain and Romney. Both labeled racists and sexists... it is their playbook. Now is the time to realize this and fight back with all your strength, and smash that movement. Get behind Trump, warts and all, because he knows how to fight. He has packed the courts with more Conservative justices than any other Republican President. He is working for a $1 a year. The time is now. We need to drive back on the Liberal Lunacy that is embraceing the West and East Coasts and their destroyed cities. Fight back!

I think he's right on the money. I'm not happy about it either, it's going to be ugly. The left controls the institutions. Just last weekend, Michelle Malkin and others were attacked at a "Support the Police" rally in Denver while the cops stood idly by and did nothing.

It will be a different kind of war. Think Big Data, not guns. The holders and keepers of power will be someone sane (hopefully) on the right who knows how to shut down all our electronic communication instantaneously if necessary. All those hyped-up crackpots who are intent on destroying this country would run home to mommy's basement if they suddenly couldn't connect with each other and lost their free publicity to boot.

Do you have a guess of how much support there is in this country for BLM or Antifia? Both groups are paid by Soros and includes unknown leaders. If we had a real press, we would know who those leaders were. If we had a DOJ, we would know who those leaders were, because they would be before a magistrate, and charged with felonies. Let's be clear, these groups have little or no following by the general electorate. We do know the Democrats support them, as do our corporate CEO's, because they are afraid of them. We also know all the casualties to date have been on the side of the right, deaths, persecutions, lawfare prosecutions and imprisonments. The Republicans have done absolutely nothing. That is the problem. The Republicans have to return fire. Do it. I like what the Missouri Governor has said, which was that he would void the persecution of the McCloskey's with a pardon.

I really liked this quote FTA: 'I do not wish to be alarmist.'
Other than that, I agree with #17....re the 8th grader essay.
"And next week class, let's write a 500 word story about what it would be like if the US was
invaded by aliens from another galaxy. Spelling counts!"

First order of business ... cut off the head of the snake! A coordinated, simultaneous and surprise capture of HRC, O, Soros, all top dem leaders in major cities and in DC. Required: lots of info, planned riot set-ups where cops and feds are waiting for strategic and widespread arrests. The better they do, the better their “chances“. That’s for starters!

I hope I'm wrong, but I disagree with Mark (the author) and believe a civil war is in fact no longer just possible, but inevitable. We have had many attacks on our homeland where we had opposing parties, but not opposition to the US within those opposing parties. Today one of the two major parties is completely supportive of the anarchy ongoing in the streets. Today one party refuses to accept the final result of the last presidential election. Today one party is providing financial support to anarchists. Today one party repeatedly orders law enforcement to stand down when law abiding citizens are viciously attacked by that party's militant arm. The leadership of a major US party, leadership that has owned outright control of our largest cities for decades, no longer supports law and order.
Add to that a media that is openly aggressive toward the other party and toward all Americans who refuse to accept the left's demands.
I hope I'm wrong, but I can't see how a civil war is anything but inevitable.

Think hard about exactly WHAT you would do if there is a violent coup in this country. What would you do that would make a difference? Take up arms? Against whom, exactly? Think about it, have a plan.

Schlichter's novels are good, but the best "fiction" that I've read so far on the subject is Stephen Coonts' Liberty's Last Stand. You'll recognize some of the characters.

Bring on the blue helmets to patrol the streets of fly over country. They'll get a rude introduction to deer and pig and bird hunters. The big cities will probably welcome them with open arms. Once they've given up control to outside forces, the civil war will be over and we can go on our way as the USA and the "other" cities / states.

Try buying a gun right now. Nothing is available, it's out of stock. Same with ammo. I've put my name on at least a half dozen websites lists for weapons and ammo. Same with gun shops.

The couple in Missouri should have backed into their door and waited until one of the "protesters" put a foot on the threshold, and then opened up. How else are these feral "protesters" going to get the message? They say they're going to the suburbs. Come to mine.

"Looming" my derrier!!!!
Civil War 2 already started. The American-hating Marxists of BLM and Antifa have been fighting it in the streets for weeks now.
It's time for patriotic Americans to start fighting back before these Marxist terrorists start bringing the war to our neighborhoods (as they have already make it very clear that they are going to be doing very soon)!!!!
