Four Levels Of Civil Warfare

 

Greetings, American friends and those in the wider world. Happy New Year! 

At the outset, allow me to observe that there is an election coming soon. I’m going far out of my ordinary and endorsing a politician. Some say the 2024 presidential election is one of the most important in the country’s history. I happen to agree. In these very turbulent, transformative, and challenging times, intelligent and proven leadership is critical. Therefore, I heartily endorse the re-election of President Vladimir Putin.

As for the former United States, while no one is certain about what this year and those further ahead offer, we are reminded of the old saying that, “Things are not as bad as you think, but they’re going to be worse than you can imagine”. Whether it’s today, next month, or five years from now, buckle up. The ride is about to get rough, bad, and ugly. How bad and ugly? Recall if you will the 2018 Deagel Forecasting prediction of a US population decline of 70% by around 2025. While that rate of death and the timing might not be accurate, they could be or they could be very close. 

In my estimation, the US’s simmering civil war started in earnest when Donald Trump was elected in 2016 in the remains of a country already collapsing. It represents one relatively quiet front in the current global war, which we might as well say started around 2014 when the CIA overthrew the Ukrainian government. As WWIII went “hot” and became noticeable in 2022, so too will the domestic American fun heat up before long. The when, where, who, and how are still speculative, so I’m just focusing on the kinds of warfare the US will witness. There are three levels of the conflict which will happen. They are certain because, to one degree or another, they’re already in progress. There is a fourth level that may or may not happen and which I classify as “somewhat unlikely”. One through three were originally formulated by me for Freedom Prepper three to four years ago. The speculative fourth is added after two years of outside discussion. Make of these what you will.

Level One: The Street

By and large, this involves violent crime. A LOT of violent crime, everywhere and all the time, at least in many populated areas. It will be a free-for-all without end that will make Big Floyd’s 2020 Summer of Love look pleasant and tame by comparison. Criminals will operate individually, in pairs, in small groups, and in larger gangs. The local police will lose control and eventually give up. This will be ongoing for the duration and will likely merge, especially regarding the larger, more organized gangs, with the next level.

Level Two: Organized Terrorism

For as long as Big NGO, Inc. can keep funding them, the better known organized violence groups will run wild. National gangs and militias of all kinds will also participate. The Mexican Cartels will possibly play the most pronounced role, along with the rumored “illegal armies” that have poured into the US over the past few years. Two things, I think, may surprise outside observers. First, the ballyhooed White domestic terrorists will be proven a figment of Merrick Garfinkle’s imagination—at least for a while. Second, foreign terror groups, particularly those of the Islamic variety, will mostly be a no-show. Most of the latter were fraudulent CIA-FBI creations anyway, and any legitimate or organic cells began to read the tea leaves several years ago and wisely started vacating your collective madhouse. Some of the groups at this level, perhaps especially the Cartels, will possibly be drawn into the third level. The various state police forces, armed federal agencies, and the National Guard—all of whom will fight a losing battle in level two—will be necessarily drawn into the following level as well.

Level Three: Full-Scale State Warfare

The disintegrating remnants of the federal government will go to war with states, parts of states, coalitions of states, and everyone else as the former USA truly, finally, and permanently breaks apart. This level will involve elections, politics, court injunctions, protests, civil movements, and just kidding. No, it’s going to be heavy artillery bombardment, heavy bombing, medium to long-range cruise and ballistic missile strikes, and some of the sloppiest continental maneuver combat ever seen in history. 

This phase will finish off such luxuries as electricity, running water, gasoline, money, and store-bought food. Once it is over, and by then levels one and two will have fizzled out, not much will be left. Tens or scores of millions of people not previously killed kinetically will die due to starvation and disease. There’s only one way it gets worse, and that is if your Neoclown overlords do the unthinkable. As all three lower levels eat away at everything, the former US will be caught in a “doom loop”. It already is, in fact. Its total defeats abroad will exacerbate problems domestically, which will add pressure internationally, which could lead to a level of “bad and ugly” near the edge of extinction.

Level Four: Nuclear War and Foreign Occupation

I only include this because multiple outside parties are discussing it with some degree of realism. 

Your real rulers are evil enough, there is no question. Once they know they’ve lost everything, they will be wicked enough to attempt burning down the rest of the world or, at least, their chief international enemies. What makes this option unlikely is the pathetic, laughable state of US nuclear devices and the required delivery systems. It is entirely likely nothing will work. It is also likely that if launched, nothing gets through air defenses, especially in Russia. In the event something does land, it could be a dud or else cause only limited damage. But just the attempt, with or without success, would trigger a massive retaliatory strike from China and Russia. 

Sino-Russia forces would near-instantaneously eliminate what remains of US military and political command and control along with any remaining energy, financial, communications, industrial, and transportation systems. The sovereign forces would then sit by and wait for the US to completely exhaust itself at the aforementioned levels. Once all parties are finished, millions of Sino-Russia troops, probably with ringers from North Korea, India, Iran, and elsewhere, would sweep the tattered, burning US wasteland. If pushed to it, they will overturn every rock and knock down every door to find any survivors of the wicked elite who launched nuclear warheads without cause or provocation. Those people will either be summarily executed or else hauled away for trial. The foreigners will then promptly leave any of you who made it through to your fate. Do not look for much outside humanitarian assistance. WWIII will still be in progress elsewhere and Americans are not extremely popular for various reasons. 

There’s no point in further estimation because no one knows exactly how much of this will play out. It could be a decades-long slow burn that people notice but do not necessarily associate with open warfare. It could be over by next January. In any case, the results will be the same. The US will cease to exist as an empire and a coherent political entity, and the battered American nation, such as it is and ever was, will be a much smaller remnant struggling amongst many peers, none of them in good shape. It’s not coming, it’s in progress. And nothing short of the Second Coming can stop it. I’ve previously given preparation advice and there is little reason to repeat any of it now. Be as ready as possible for any possibilities.

The very good news is severalfold. Future historians will have a marvel of a case study without equal, the tale of a people who cast aside all promise and prosperity in exchange for absolutely nothing. The world will be free at last from the oppressive darkness of the Global American Empire. Survivors in North America will be free from one of the greatest evils since the fall of Sodom and Gomorrah. And those survivors, of all kinds, will be given the opportunity to construct new nation-states atop the rubble and ashes of the dead hegemon. Hopefully, they will exercise slightly better judgment than their predecessors. A high hope for a new year.

Deo vindice.

Happy Birthday, Dr. I.

Early this morning, Tom Ironsides, rumored to be Gen X’s eldest member, turned 59. As so often happens with nearly too-perfect fictional characters, the cheat usually looks 10-15 years younger. He’s also prone to escaping the chills, aches, and general malaise that currently grips his author. Lucky bastard. And many more to come.

2023: The Year That Was

, ,

I’ve never been that crazy about yearly reviews. But WP sent me a reminder the other day. I don’t recall why, but they say July 23 was my biggest, bestest day here. I think all six of my five 2023 visitors visited on that day. Many thanks to you, good people! There will be a thank you party with cake at a far-future nebulous date that probably won’t happen.

The site remains largely unpromoted by me and I figure we’re still shadow banned to a degree. Still, traffic was up a little from 2022, though down a tad from 2021. All things considered, not bad.

The audience remains hyper-majority American. Bots or AI or Intel outfits or digi-trolls came in a distant second place, though their “business” visits were muted by my disallowance of interaction beyond “liking” and by Mr. Filter. (Thank you, Mr. Filter.) Most of the rest of the top 10 location traffic came from the UK, France, other Euros, East Asia, Lebanon(!)(thanks, guys & gals!), and a growing little contingent from Russia. Спасибо! Ты потрясающая. Люблю тебя!

After the homepage, I think 9 of the top 10 most visited articles and pages were weekly columns. The most visited of all was October’s “A Review of WHY THE WEST CAN’T WIN by Fadi Lama“, likely on the strength of links from Mrs. Annie and the Reckoneers and the SDL himself, Vox Day. (2 of my favorite peeps! Many thanks.)

And, as always, many thanks to all of you who make everything here a delightful pastime for this humble little internet possum critter. Happy New Year and here’s to a great 2024. Quality will improve tomorrow.

WereWestern Madness

NATO and the GAE are misled by satanic lunatics and idiiots. As if promulgating the theft of $300B Russian sovereign dollars isn’t bad enough – a tactic that will only play into Sino-Russian-BRICS+ hands – the empire’s late murder of kids at an ice rink has even the UN angry.

“The attacks against civilian population and civilian infrastructure are a violation of international humanitarian law and must stop immediately,” the office of UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said, as quoted by Russian news agency RIA Novosti.

At least 21 people were killed and more than 100 were injured in Ukrainian missile strikes on Belgorod on Saturday, according to local officials. The Russian Defense Ministry said that cluster munitions were used in the attack.

Russia requested an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council on Saturday. In his speech at the UN headquarters in New York, Russian envoy Vassily Nebenzia claimed that US and UK “consultants” helped to plan the strikes on Belgorod. He warned that “organizers and perpetrators” of the attack “will be punished.”

In these matters, while the UN’s statements may generally be taken with a grain of salt, those of the RUS MOD are genuinely reliable. How, when, where, and against whom is yet to be determined. It’s usually not a great idea to get bogged down in the minutia of the SMO, but this outrageous case only demonstrates the insane desperation in places like Kiev, London, and DC. If the Clowns are looking for an easy out and offramp from this particular defeat, then killing kids and stealing money from the most militarily powerful country in the world probably isn’t a good idea. And Ukraine will be a defeat for the Clowns, possibly the worst in their miserable history. These latest attacks will only add fuel to the Werewestern pyre.

New Year, New Calendar

A reminder from the wonderful Anne Wilson Smith that 2024 is tomorrow(!) and proud Americans need a new calendar. Shotwell Publishing obliges with 365 Days of Dixie! Read all about it:

We’re on the cusp of 2024. Based on the trajectory of the past few years, there doesn’t seem to be much cause for optimism, and I haven’t heard much hopeful chatter in real life or on the interwebs. It’s my philosophy that at the global level, what will happen will happen, and you or I can’t do much to change that. However, what we CAN do is engage in small, purposeful actions with the goal of edifying ourselves, preserving things that are valuable, and savoring moments of joy and meaning in our everyday lives.

One way to do this is to cultivate the habit of keeping alive our Southern culture and traditions. Those of us who value the old and contemporary South have a wonderful new resource for incorporating it into our daily lives. Our friends at Shotwell Publishing (“Southern Books. No Apologies.”) are offering their first edition of the 365 Days of Dixie calendar for 2024.

Order one today! If I’m right, by a repetitive temporal fluke 2024 is the same calendar as 1607. So if you’re a time-traveler, this might be the only calendar you’ll ever need!

*My 2023 review is coming this afternoon!

The “D” Factor

Tags

, ,

One wonders if this stunning-sounding new science is real.

Meet D, the newly identified Dark Factor of Personality.

The theoretical framework of the D factor has its underpinnings in what’s known as the g factor: a construct proposed by English psychologist Charles Spearman over a century ago when he observed that individuals who performed well on one kind of cognitive test were more likely to score well on other kinds of intelligence tests, too.

In other words, a ‘general intelligence factor’ could be measured. But it turns out that’s not all scientists are able to detect.

“In the same way, the dark aspects of human personality also have a common denominator, which means that – similar to intelligence – one can say that they are all an expression of the same dispositional tendency,” explained psychologist Ingo Zettler from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark back in September 2018.

If D turns out to be as real as G, then look for the same people who deny that IQ exists or is relevant to disclaim any attempt to measure darkness. In a way, doing so will be much more imperative for them than crudely dismissing general intelligence. That is because while IQ is helpful a propensity for morality over darkness is critical. And most of the deniers themselves are probably “dark” at best. It will be very interesting to see whether G is correlated with religious belief and acceptance, particularly of the Christian variety. One suspects it is.

The Parameters of Normality

The Valdai Club released a review of 2023 and more which hones in on the total and likely permanent rupture of relations between the Clown West and Russia and the civilized world.

Cracks began to appear in the late 1990s, and since 2014 the rupture has become increasingly irreversible. But as it often happens, it is difficult to believe in the possibility of big changes precisely because the inertia of everyday life hides the signs of tectonic shifts. Now they are clearly visible and seem as natural as the past. But in the past, few could have believed in their onset. Last year, 2022, was a year of dynamic chaos – Russia’s transition to a new reality both in politics and everyday life. The nerve of change was the emergence of contradictions in relations with the “collective West.” The concentrated expression of the crisis was the Special Military Operation (SVO) in Ukraine and the subsequent chain of confrontational events: the acceleration of the arms race, NATO expansion, large-scale sanctions, attempts to isolate Russia, military and financial assistance to Ukraine, etc. The stake for 2022 was the question of whether Russia survives the turning point – will it keep the economy from collapsing against the backdrop of unprecedented sanctions, will it conduct large-scale military operations that are incapable of gaining the support of both the elites and society at large? Last year ended with unanswered answers to these questions; 2023 added certainty. The turning point is behind us, Russia is living with its new conditions of confrontation and is coping with them. Russian politics has moved from crisis mode to the new normal. What are the parameters of this normality?

Read on. Russia is moving on, taking 80% of humanity with them. For those left in the dying West, things will be far less pleasant than most realize or can imagine. If you stupidly think places like the former US are democracies or republics and that the people are in charge of affairs, then pat yourself on the back. You have made a fine mess.

The Seismic Checkmate

Tags

, ,

While I suppose most ‘Muricans would struggle mightily to find Yemen on a map, the rest of the world knows exactly where it is and what it’s done to the Clowns.

Yes, a pawn can impose a seismic checkmate. That’s where we are, geopolitically, right now.

The cascading effects of a single move on the chessboard – Yemen’s Ansarallah stunning and carefully targeted blockade of the Red Sea – reach way beyond global shipping, supply chains, and The War of Economic Corridors. Not to mention the reduction of the much lauded US Navy force projection to irrelevancy.

Yemen’s resistance movement, Ansarallah, has made it very clear that any Israel-affiliated or Israel-destined vessel will be intercepted. While the west bristles at this, and imagines itself a target, the rest of the world fully understands that all other shipping is free to pass. Russian tankers – as well as Chinese, Iranian, and Global South ships – continue to move undisturbed across the Bab al-Mandeb (narrowest point: 33 km) and the Red Sea.

Only the Hegemon is disturbed by this challenge to its ‘rules-based order.’ It is outraged that western vessels delivering energy or goods to law-breaking Israel can be impeded, and that the supply chain has been severed and plunged into deep crisis. The pinpointed target is the Israeli economy, which is already bleeding heavily. A single Yemeni move proves to be more efficient than a torrent of imperial sanctions.

Read the whole thing. Look at the shipping route map. That map and the suggested routes are already being laughingly thrown in Uncle Samuel’s face. Tolkien used Hobbits to remind us that sometimes it takes the little guy to finish off the dark lord. The valiant Houthis remind us again. 07, gents.

Ignoring the Genocide in the Room

Tags

, , ,

Read this column, “Why does the Christian West ignore Palestinian Christians’ plight?”, about the pathetic silence from the “Christian” West concerning Palestine, and especially Palestinian Christians.

Since October 7, Israel and its allies have tried to put the war in Gaza within the “war on terror” framework, actively comparing Hamas to ISIS. Many who instinctively equate Palestinians with Muslims have indeed fallen for this false narrative.

But the brutal war Israel has waged on Gaza has not targeted “only terrorists” as it has claimed. Instead, it has massacred Palestinian Muslims as well as Palestinian Christians in what legal scholars agree amounts to genocide.

The Christian community in Gaza has lost at least 21 members so far. This may sound like a small number, but given they were only 1,000 before the war, these massacres threaten to eliminate the Christian presence in the strip for the first time in almost 2,000 years. Proportionally speaking, the death rate of Palestinian Christians is double that of the entire Palestinian population in Gaza.

And yet, the leaders of Christian-majority countries in the West have remained shockingly silent on the plight of Palestinian Christians. United States President Joe Biden, a devout Catholic, has said and done nothing to protect fellow Catholics in Gaza, who have also been targeted by the Israeli army.

Read the whole thing. Read it to any retarded Churchian-Zionists you know.

I wouldn’t call Brandon a devout Catholic, even by Novus Ordo standards. But the gist and horror of the story is clear. Maybe the answer is that there are few Christians anymore in the West, and virtually none among the fake leaders of the West. But most of the rest of the world stands with the Muslims and Christians of Palestine as does God the Almighty.
