But this is exactly what this magazines does. I know some of the authors of the articles that have appeared in this magazine. One of them even wrote a college recommendation for me (which I'm sure he deeply regrets now). He is a Neocon who has turned anti-Trump. He has appeared on CNN and FOX. He's a liar. Most, if not all, of the articles in this magazine are off the mark, mostly widely off the mark.

I believe John has a much better grip on what is really happening. Yes, we are heading off a cliff, but if you knew how rotten Western governments have become and how deviant the elites really are, you would be happy to bid a fond farewell to this world too. I don't want nuclear oblivion, but total change is necessary.

The 25-30 million Mexicans who now reside in the US represent 25% of Mexico's citizenry. Think about that. And the vast majority of these migrants are on welfare and rely heavily on Medicaid, food stamps, and have overwhelmed the public school systems and hospitals. They also make up a huge portion of the violent criminals in the US. The financial and human costs have already overwhelmed the country.

Here is where it gets really interesting. When Mexico totally implodes and the Mexicans are left without even the most basic of services (water and electricity, for example), what do you think they are going to do? You got, it. They will head into the US. Instead of a million Mexicans crossing into annually, we will be looking at millions of Mexicans flooding across the border ever month. Then what?

Even Mexican law enforcement officials and think tanks inside of Mexico are openly expressing dismay at the events unfolding around them. It's no longer a question of if Mexico will total collapse, it's a question of when. Can America afford to take in 100 million more Mexicans and other Latinos from across Latin America (which is made up of failed states). These failed states are controlled drug dealers.

America won't survive this kind of influx. I don't believe we can survive the illegals we are carrying now. This is it. Time to make some decisions.

Or flee the country.
Flee.
Trump refuses to declare a full throated National Security Emergency and deport 800,000 DACA children, adults, all 26.7 million illegal aliens, thousands muslim refugess and H-1B/2B workers STILL inside the USA.

Congress and the District courts have NO STANDING over an Executive Branch National Security Declaration.

Idiot Trump fails to use his Constitutional Commander In Chief powers and plays the fool to a leftist Congress and leftist District Courts when he does not have to. He can just ignore them, but no.

The SCOTUS would back Trump up, but the fool will not go there.

How to Avoid Civil War: Decentralization, Nullification, Secession

It's becoming more and more apparent that the United States will not be going back to "business as usual" after Donald Trump leaves office, and it is easy to imagine that the anti-Trump parties will use their return to power as an opportunity to settle scores against the hated rubes and "deplorables" who dared attempt to oppose their betters in Washington, DC, California, and New York.

I'm reminded of the December 2015 attack by two Muslim jihadist
terrorists in San Bernadino, California, Syed Rizwan Farook (male) and
Tashfeen Malik (female). They shot dead 14 people and wounded dozens
of others. The guns they used were purchased legally, but Democrats
were actually blaming Republicans and Tea Partiers for the terrorist
attack. Obama had already blamed Republicans because they're "bitter"
and they "cling to guns and religion," and now the Democrats were
blaming the Tea Partiers becuase they opposed gun control.

I read some messages by a group of Midwest Conservatives at the time,
and it's hard to overstate how furious they were that they were being
blamed for a jihadist terror attack in California. They lived nowhere
near California, they were mostly contemptuous of California, and they
were legal, responsible gun owners, and yet, the Democrats were
actually blaming them for a jihadist terror attack in California.
Some of them would have shot dead a Democrat if one had been in sight.

Democrats have been inciting and encouraging violence against Tea
Partiers for years, and the incitement is getting more pronounced,
more organic, more genocidal, and more hysterical. They should
realize that if they really want to trigger some sort of civil war,
then it's the Tea Partiers who have the guns.

I agree that these are very dangerous times, particular after the
Russia hoax, the Ukraine hoax, and the impeachment hoax. The
Democrats have experienced one extremely humiliating setback after
another. As I wrote yesterday, every impeachment witness was forced
by Republican cross-examination to completely back down and admit that
there was no evidence whatsoever to support the charges against Trump,
and I've never seen a single media report mention this fact. So the
impeachment hoax is 99.9% certain to be another humiliating defeat for
the Democrats, and they might become even more violent at that time,
or after a Trump reelection.

On the other hand, if somehow the Democrats succeed in eliminating
Trump with the impeachment hoax, then it could be the 63 million Tea
Partiers / Trump supporters who decide to become violent.

When I was a kid, my father, who was a Greek immigrant, told me that
in the 1930s there was so much Communist violence in the country that
he actually thought that the United States would not survive.
Unfortunately, I never asked him why, but I can see it building up
today.

As I said yesterday, I still don't believe that the country is headed
for a civil war, even though the Democrats are apparently pushing in
either that director or tribal genocide against the Tea Partiers. But
if it happens, I suspect that a lot more Democrats than Tea Partiers
will be killed.

** 05-Dec-2019 World View: Corey Booker turns on Democrats' racism

An addition to the previous post:

Corey Booker complained today that voters were not getting a fair
opportunity to choose from a diverse group of candidates because
black candidates are dropping out, with the result that
"there are more billionaires left in the Democratic field than there
are black people."
"It’s a problem that caucus-goers here in Iowa and in
Nevada and voters in South Carolina and New Hampshire are being
denied the choices that they are telling us they want in
February.

And this is not just about individual candidates — it’s about the
diverse coalition we need to defeat Donald Trump.

It’s a damn shame, frankly, that Kamala Harris’s voice is no
longer in this race.

I’ve seen the bile, the anger, from my family members, to people
in the Congressional Black Caucus, to leaders of color across this
country who just don’t understand how we’ve gotten to a point now
where there’s more billionaires in the 2020 race than there are
black people."
It's the last paragraph that makes this speech worthy of note. Not
only are Democrats furious at Tea Partiers, they're also furious at
Democrats for not doing as Black Lives Matter is demanding of them.

It seems that every Democrat is making demands, and inciting violence
and hatred if they don't get their way.

No.
Nothing's going to be revealed and no one's going to be held accountable for Epstein's high level crimes. No swamp creatures are going to jail, either. Sorry, it takes a revolution before that happens. People just need to get it in their head that our society is rotten to the core and the powerful aren't going to take out their fellow compatriots in crime. We're toast.

Even two years ago, I would have considered a true civil war to be impossible. Incidents of violence and division, yes. But having large numbers of people being willing to butcher each other?

It still seems unlikely, but I'm no longer as confident as I have been. I'm not a Trump fan, but I'm watching his opponents do everything in their power to overturn an election. In races they lost in 2018, the losses are seen as illegitimate and only due to voter suppression. They've convinced me to vote for him and I think there are many others who feel the same way.

Let's not forget the Orlando, Florida shooting. The man responsible for killing 49 people had pledged allegiance to ISIS, yet most of what I saw were things like: "THANKS, NRA!" and similar sentiments. In 2001, we united after a terrorist attack, but in 2016, the NRA were considered the real villains.

There are a couple things I think could trigger a civil war, or at least fighting in the streets similar to the Weimar Republic.

Trump being assassinated: based on what I've seen, you'd have every major city eruption in celebration. People would be overjoyed, with whoever killing him being lionized as a hero. Consider the recent reaction to David Koch's death and amplify it a hundredfold.

Another recession: similar to 2008, only we won't be able to spend our way out of it this time. Under difficult circumstances, we'll want someone to blame and our political opponents would be excellent targets. Consider how much appeal both Communism and Fascism had during the Great Depression.

John, would you think it possible to have an arrangement where we unite to fight China, only to turn on each other afterward as a result of the devastation? Say, similar but not exact to China's last crisis war?
