7 in 10 Say U.S. On Edge Of Civil War

BY Herschel Smith
5 years, 1 month ago

Examiner.

The majority of Americans believe that we are two-thirds of the way to being on the edge of civil war. That to me is a very pessimistic place,” said Mo Elleithee, the executive director of Georgetown University’s Institute of Politics and Public Service.

And worse, he said in announcing the results of the Institute’s Battleground Poll civility survey, the political division is likely to make the upcoming 2020 presidential race the nastiest in modern history.

The politics is just a prelude.  7 in 10 believe this because it’s true.  That’s not me saying the U.S. is on the verge of civil war, that’s a poll.  I’m just passing it on.

Everything the ruling elite could possibly do to bring this about is being done.

You can be sure of one thing, though.  There will be nothing “civil” about war in America.

    Yeah, and five in ten think that the war will be between “conservatives” and “liberals.” This thing is going to fracture in an ugly way that has little to do with the Fox News definitions of the two sides.

    And whichever of the sides at all that does “win” it still won’t be a country worth having. All of them are perverters of the truth and none are Righteous, none know God or the things of God, they are all wickedness top to bottom and end to end. Whoever wins will likely set about to exterminate real Christians with the help of the “conservative” Christian dot gov worshipers and they will kill those that only and simply want to be free or indeed to be free in Christ. I’m unable to morally reconcile any of the goals or aspirations of any of the sides at all. They are all miserable evil. Enjoy your killing of each other, you deserve it, and worse.

    All part of the plan, alas.

    Remember, these people are MISSIONARIES. They truly believe that if they tear down what IS – Western Civilization, representative government – far enough, and create enough chaos, the “great worldwide socialist utopia” is inevitable.

    They believe this with the same faith I have in G-d. They are absolute enemies… and is why they are allied with the Islamists: taking down the West, taking down America.

    Whatever happens to the world in the next few years will profoundly change our culture. A few things that could/will change.

    -Minorities in the west will be nearly extinct.
    -The West Coast of the USA will not be part of America.
    -The date; as in 2019 a.d., will no longer be used. Instead, Year 3 PW(ProWest) or Year 3 AT(After Trump), Or like that book “Caliphate”, where the date AI is used. To denote American Imperium. Potentially A.I. could be used to denote “Artificial Intelligence”
    -Islam will be a “shoot on sight religion”. Period.
    -The end of stupid laws that protect pedophiles, enemies, and traitors.
    -Women will no longer have the right to vote. All the women in my family voted for Hillary because “It’s time for a woman”. Liberal omen are trash.
    -The end of Jewish sedition and subversion. Potentially the end of Judaism.
    -Communism will forever be remembered as a low point in Human history.
    -Massive book burnings. Half of my textbooks are full of lies and disinformation.
    -The end of social media. A huge mistake.
    -A return to meritocracy aka aristocracy.
    -The end of abortion globally. This is just child sacrifice; and a get out of motherhood free card.
    -No more women teaching men, or men teaching women. Segregation will be enforced by common law, and the law of nature.
    -Homosexuality will be known as “The left wing excuse for pedophilia”.
    -Taxes will be limited to 5 percent federal, and 5 percent state. Major projects will be financed after a vote. Money to fund these projects will be collected voluntarily. End of Story.
    -The end of Ivy League Colleges vs. State and community. The curriculum should be the same. It currently is not. This is a human rights violation and an insult.
    -The end of the Catholic Church. Nothing the Catholic Church does is in the Bible. I was raised Catholic, and let’s be honest, the Protestants were correct. I now consider myself a protestant. And this has revitalized my long lost Christian Faith.
    -A sink or swing lifestyle. As in, the end of welfare and stand around do nothing government jobs programs. Build something, or starve. End of story.
    -The return of the internet to an open source environment.
    -The end of plastic surgery, hair dyes, and cosmetic enhancements. This is an insult to society. A 60 year old lesbian with purple hair looks like a monster, not a woman.
    -The end of militaries, prisons, and police. In ancient societies didn’t have prisons. They had hard labor, fines, or death.
    -Cultural Marxism is a crime. Mandatory honest education on communism and Islam and the lies of the Catholic Church(A pro-homo pedophile state)
    -The end of people from across the world having a effect on their neighbors for no reason. In the future, people in Maryland enforcing laws in California, or vice versa will be viewed as invasive and enemy action.
    -No more dual citizenship.
    -Lying is a punishable offense, to be punished immediately.
    To name a few off the top of my head.

    No hiding place works both ways. All of the tactics used by the Bolsheviks can be used against them.
    Don’t waste time on clueless civnat cultists who like their fairytale delusions.
    Give up on them because they will be a hazard to your survival when Spicy Time erupts like a thief in the night.

    The deep state is in full panic about being uncovered by Barr/Durham.
    Hence their urgency over impeachment.
    They will stop at nothing, including fomenting a civil war as cover/distraction.
    If you read one article today, read this one.

    When Oleg Volk did the cover for this, he remarked: “Frank, I sure hope you haven’t written a documentary!”

    It’s beginning to look like my “cautionary tale” wasn’t read by enough of the right people. :-(

    Civil War Two…
    Race War, Political War, Religious War, Turf War. The country will no longer be a country of 48 continental states. It will be hundreds of small communities banding together. Alaska and Hawaii, you are on your own. Nobody that was born in this country has any clue as to what is coming. Those with experience in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq or any of the third world crap holes on the North African coastline can probably tell you what this country will look like in 18 months after an all out shooting war starts in the streets. Major cities will be burned to the ground in a matter of months. Small cities will be destroyed and controlled by some type of local warlord. Areas within 150 miles of any major city will be overrun by refugees from the larger cities. No public utilities will exist and with that stops all transportation. This country falls back to the 1880’s with a population that can’t handle being without their cell phone or cable television for more than an hour without panicking. On top of that, you have 2 generations of Americans that hardly know how to prepare their own meals much less have any understanding as to how to maybe grow vegetables and harvest meat. We can pray for civility and look for a peaceful resolution to the differences in this country but it looks like it is well past that point. Get prepared. Best of luck to all of you. See you on the other side.

    @Johnny Paratrooper,
    Hey JP, it’s @ProGunFred and no, I didn’t die or die of boredom. Heh! At least not yet. If you’re serious about this, “I now consider myself a protestant. And this has revitalized my long lost Christian Faith.” and I think that you are, then in light of your bullet points you’ve made some assumptions that need a little work. First off; Judaism died in the year 70, what is left of it is an anti-Christ, which is what it was then and that’s why Christ killed it. But to your main objectives; I would recommend, if you’re truly serious about your points above, a book:
    Ken Gentry, The Law Made Easy
    The Holy Bible, as you’ve read me state before, is the foundational document of Western Civilization, like it or not, for better or for worse, God does exist, and His Holy word, however uncomfortable it makes us, is the roots of the West since the first century. Our laws and customs were based upon His word since centuries before the sodomites, Zionists, perverts, communists, and freaks took over. The Holy Bible has built 2 civilizations already and it can be and it should be and must be the primary text in any attempt at rebuilding the West. It is a proven standard.
    And, @JP read the Holy Bible, every day. We are commanded to do this.
    “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Daily reading without interpretation of any man made input or opinion at all will clarify your understanding of literally everything on earth and in heaven. Get a bible with zero references, headings, concordances, or any other opinions of men of any kind. I strongly recommend the King James version but if you absolutely can’t suffer the middle English then use an NASB (new american standard). Doing this reading and study will give you laser like understanding of where your points need to be adjusted, and you’re not far off the mark already. Read the whole book, cover to cover for the rest of your life, pray and ask our Lord to explain it to you as you read, read a couple of chapters in the morning and a couple at night, start today. May the LORD be with you alway.

    Remember brothers, God founded a Church, not a book. May I respectfully suggest that you read the Douay-Rheims version of the Holy Bible.

    JP, I am hopeful that the majority of your prognostications rise out of the ashes of the present filth. “For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.” (Isaiah 50:7) I pray that the Lord give his people the courage, wisdom, cunning, and strength to defeat the dark evilness that we will be (are) battling. I won’t be ashamed of whatever I have to do to help this come to pass. God speed young man, God speed. Fred I don’t know you, but I would like to. May the strength of Caleb be upon you and yours.
